Two much-loved publicans are retiring from The Safe Harbour in Fowey after decades of service running pubs with St Austell Brewery.

Graham Allen is calling time on an impressive 35-year career with the business. His journey began at the Britannia Inn, in Chacewater, before he spent a decade working as a chef at The Customs House, in Padstow.
For the past 16 years, he has run The Safe Harbour, helping make it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
Joining him in retirement is his partner Gill Pascoe, who became part of The Safe Harbour team seven years ago after a 35-year career in education.
Together, Graham and Gill have been praised for their commitment to the business and the local community, becoming well-known ambassadors for both The Safe Harbour and St Austell Brewery.
“Graham and Gill have made an enormous contribution to The Safe Harbour and the wider community,” said Clive Greene, head of tenanted estate at St Austell Brewery. “Their warmth, dedication, and hard work have helped make the pub what it is today, and they will be greatly missed by guests, colleagues, and local residents. We wish them both a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.”
Local chef Luke ‘Boris’ Watts is taking over as the new publican.
