Really nice place and great food, why are people complaining about prices and being a tourist trap what do they expect, anyway worth the money 100% will come again. Really nice village also and love the ferry crossing.

You must go if you love seafood. Even if you have to queue and then wait 20mins for your meal (all freshly cooked to order), it's sensational! Fowey scallops, plump and perfectly cooked with heritage tomatoes, pumpkin seeds and romesco sauce. Fries with wild garlic and parmesan. Cod cheeks on pitta with new potatoes, baby spinach, salsa verde and aioli. The best crab sandwiches on doorsteps of soft white bread. Even the wine is local and wonderful. Just divine. Just go.

Excellent food and service, made fresh every day. We had crab sandwich, fried squid, and halloumi fries, and then coffees with oat milk. Quay-side outdoor atmosphere to match!

What a spot. Some of the best food you’ll get around. One of our favourite lunches we’ve had in a while. Fresh, tasty, great choice and accurate wait time. Nothing to fault!

This place is a must stop for lunch or a snack. Lovely owner, somehow keeping zen, and the food has always been fantastic in flavour & consistency. If Carlsberg did food vans, Captains Hanks would still be better Below is the mackerel flatbread

Visited Captain Hanks whilst staying in Fowey for the week - twice! As it was so unbelievably delicious and so up my street. I love seafood and can honestly say Captain Hanks does not disappoint. The ingredients/produce were so fresh, house made dressings and sauces were so well seasoned and flavourful, overall you can tell the owner has very high standards for her little business. To top it off the view of the harbour is a stunning backdrop. If you’re visiting Fowey this is such a gem, highly recommend!
