Fern Pit Cafe and Ferry is a family run Cafe famous for its Crab sandwich, with spectacular views over the River Gannel and Crantock Beach. We provide a path down to a Ferry boathouse on the River Gannel where on view are locally caught shellfish from our own fishing vessel 'Excelsior'. From here you can access Crantock Beach via a Low water footbridge or the Ferry at High water to Crantock Beach.

Still wanting to join us- no problem!

🌊 Walking to Fern Pit via Penpol Bridge 🌿

Starting from Crantock Beach?

➡️ Head inland along the Gannel Estuary toward Penpol Creek.
➡️ Cross the Penpol tidal footbridge (check it’s low tide first!).
➡️ Once across, follow the paths and roads toward Pentire.
➡️ Continue toward Riverside Crescent.
➡️ Arrive at Fern Pit Café for estuary views, food, and a well-earned break ☕️✨

⚠️ The Penpol crossing is only accessible around low tide. If the bridge is underwater, you’ll need to take an alternative route.

Cornish Hash done right. 🥔✨

Buttery new potatoes, Cornish sausage, wilted greens and vibrant chard, topped with perfectly cooked St Ewe eggs. Simple ingredients, big flavour, and a proper taste of Cornwall on a plate.

Fresh, local, seasonal. Just the way we like it.
