    Not the friendliest of restaurants in the area (Pub and restaurant are two different entities, I only visited the latter); at some places, when you're a single traveller, you're being treated a bit like a pariah - this appears to be one of them. A group sitting next to me was treated much more pleasantly. The location of course is wonderful, and the view from the terrace into Falmouth Harbour truly impressive. Note that you are not allowed to smoke or vape even on the terrace, which I was being reminded of in not too polite a fashion. The other pubs nearby all allow smoking/vaping in their outside seating areas. The menu is streamlined, as Chain Locker belongs to a pub chain [Sic!], and you will find many of the same menus throughout Cornwall. I myself encountered that standardized menu at least four times during the week I spent visiting the region. The food I had (grilled mackerel with baby potatoes and a salad garnish) was rather decently prepared though. At UKP 13.90 it didn't come too cheap. The inside of the restaurant is large and pretty, the beer selection fairly limited (as opposed to the pub). Beer prices are reasonable considering the location and the local competition. It's a bit of a shame that nowadays most pubs are part of a chain (the most popular being The Spoon of course), as menus will inevitably be streamlined. If this doesn't bother you, you could certainly do a lot worse than at Chain Locker.

    For me this has to be the best pub in Falmouth. This pub has the best seats by the harbour, but I preferred to chill in the wonderful dark pub interior decorated horizontally and vertically with beer mats, clips, plaques and posters of various natures and even the steering wheel from a boat Add the beer selection to the equation (including 2 regulars + 2 guests from skinners). I can't help but highly recommend the place.

    Ah! Betty...
