Bugle Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

A no no! A scruffy pub,not cared for. Were going to eat there....but it appears dirty

Good local pub on the crossroads in Bugle. St Austell 🍺 ales. Food was very good seeing that the chef was off ill. Small car park but plenty of street parking. Would have been 5stars but for the reduced menu. Worth stopping for.

Rooms are basic, shower not that powerful, toilet flusher didn't work all the time. Room window was on main road through Bugle and because it was a hot day / night we had to prop window open with a coat hanger, alot of traffic kept me awake. What made the stay was the breakfast, best I've had in a long time.

Booked this historical place for a short family trip not expecting the world for what we paid and we were not disappointed. If you like the following this place is right up your street: Busy car park, finding a space is pot luck, pub and outside spaces run down and unkept, friendlyish but uncaring customer service, dirty bedrooms and bathrooms most of them desperate for a refurb and a re-stock of the basic supplies and of course the obligatory pumping music from downstairs entertaining the rowdy locals (and that's just the women folk). It's a real shame but needless to say, unless the owner starts giving a toss on how his business is run we will not be staying again.

Nice clean room and staff were very friendly 👌

Went to visit as we were staying in the area and to have a meal but only certain days when food is available and yes you guessed it not on the day we visited, so walked in and walked out to go somewhere else, unfortunately.

We stayed here for 1 night when going to a gig at the Eden Project. It is a tradional pub with rooms. It was the ideal location with ample parking. Room was very comfy and quiet. Staff were very hospitable and the food (dinner and breakfast) was very good. Would stay here again!

A fantastic little pub stayed the night room great had a meal that evning food good at a great price bar staff great and a fantastic cooked breakfast the next morning all good

Saturday evening, quite a crowd, But food was good

A run down community pub, probably at its prime 40 years ago ! Staff delightful but couldn't compensate for the general malaise, lack of investment and pro rata excessive pricing of wet sales.

Amazing place the staff are amazing Very friendly 👏

Had an amazing meal, the beef was melt in the mouth, pork was also amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely advise giving it a try and I will be going there again, well done to all staff for making it a pleasant place to go.

This accomodation suitable for workmen? Would feel comfortable in work wear surroundings are rough however the rooms are clean & comfortable. Rowdy late at night & noisy if want a knees up. A cellar fan running loudly also late at night had to request it to be stopped to allow us to sleep. Contested to proprietor & received substantial refund!

The staff are rude and it's customer service is terrible I would walk through the door and there would be 10 or more customers waiting to be service and one of the staff would choose to serve me not them and that same member of staff while on a shift with another team member would decide last minute that he wasn't going to do his shift and make the other person do it alone when really busy

Thanks for the great Sunday Lunch John, and for dealing with my allergy.

Really good beer and food excellent. Friendly local pub and down to earth prices

We had the Sunday carvery, which was excellent! It was really well cooked and presented, great value for money. I've eaten similar locally in the last few months and payed twice, the price for half as much. Definitely on our revisit list.

Great value, there's a car park at the back and the menu offers a range of good pub food at sensible prices. It definitely more like a local pub than a tourist restaurant. We used this as a place to stay when visiting the Eden Project.

Took the teenage grandchildren out for tea, steaks done to perfection the wife's ocean pie also cooked to perfection. Will certainly go again. Really good value for money

Very clean room, awesome shower and very friendly staff.

Excellent pub great atmosphere. Food was excellent as was the service. Dined twice during our stay in Cornwall. The second time went out of our way to return.

We had a roast dinner there it was awful. The carrots and roast potatoes had a rather peculiar taste and the Yorkshire pudding was burnt. The whole place needed a make over and a game of pool was going on whilst we were eating about 6 to 8 feet away. The carpet was filthy.

Nowhere to park as carpark small, food was OK but would not recommend and service not the best sat a us at our table and then just left us until I has to ask how we order

The views are brilliant but didn't like that you had to go to a machine to order drinks.Not very friendly.

If you're looking for a 5star hotel and peace and quiet, don't bother. But if you are like me and don't mind somewhere that is not perfect look no further. This may not be a 5star hotel, nor do I expect it to be, but it is a 5star proper boozer with a 10star chef. The entertainment while we are here is a woman named Sophie, better than the majority on BGT. The staff are out of this world, so helpful and accomodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves a proper boozer with decent entertainment and appreciates fine food.if I'm ever down this way again I'd try and book here first.

This is a proper local pub. It's not a michelin star restaurant, but it's also not rubbish. Staff nice, food was good pub grub. Tribute Ale on hand pull was well kept. Go here, and enjoy it for what it is. It's real, not fancy. Honest. I'd go again.

Yummy food, friendly service and great atmosphere. A real find, thank you.

Fantastic room, immaculate condition. Comfortable and a lovely bathroom and shower. Breakfast was top notch too, and the people were courteous and friendly friendly. Strongly recommend.

Well after years of visiting the village to enjoy bugle band contest and always using the local pub I can most definitely say I won’t be again! The toilets are unusable I’ve never smelt anything so DISGUSTING! The staff were not confident and slow! There were youths in there drunk just not enjoyable evening!

Customer service from all staff we came across was woeful… it’s almost as though they don’t want tourists to stay. Nice room but at £100 per night for the family room I kinda expected that they might at least make the beds and change the towels. Staff all seem to be very inexperienced and not interested in what they are doing. Breakfast is good (when you get it) nut even when telling the manager we had to leave at a certain time and asking how long breakfast would be (he told us 10 mins), 30 mins later we were still waiting which made us late to where we were going. A young lad then came over and asked us what we wanted to order! All very haphazard which is a shame.

Only one word faboulous will definately return exellent atmosphere good food good hospitalitywe stayed for the wekend as we had a wedding to attend also central to eden project heligan BRILLIANT LITTLE PUB

We recently called in at The Bugle Inn for a quick bite and we were so impressed with our lunch. Not only was it beautifully presented, it had obviously been prepared using very fresh ingredients and with care. It was delicious and substantial and great value. We thoroughly enjoyed our ploughman's lunch and chicken and stuffing sandwiches. The real ale went down well too. Would highly recommend. Massive thanks to the staff, especially to the wonderful person who prepared this tasty feast for us. Best lunch in ages!

This is one of a dying breed of pubs that still operate as pubs. There are tables for food service but it is also still well used a local pub. The beer was well kept and the food was standard pub fare, with a good selection, well cooked and plenty of it. I never really expect to see salad on a pub menu, as it won't go in the fryer, but the salad here was fresh, varied and plentiful. Just don't tell my mates that I ate the salad - just stick to the beer story.

We were staying nearby for a few days, and after day trips I called in a couple of times for a pint. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the pub was warm and cosy with a log burner in use. I did not eat here during this holiday. The Bugle Inn is primarily a locals pub (though it does have rooms), and got quite lively early on Friday and Saturday evening, so if we were planning to eat here we would avoid those nights,

This village pub in the Cornish village of Bugle was probably originally two rooms but is now one open plan area with a lounge area set to tables to the left of the central bar and a more public area to the right with pool table and dart board. Interestingly the pub takes its name from the bugles used in the days of horse drawn stagecoaches and came first as as coach stop, with the village forming later around and taking its name from the former coaching inn. Three St Austell ales were on for our visit in the shape of Tribute , Cornish Best and Hicks and the couple we tried were well kept. We came here to eat and there is a fairly standard pub reasonably priced food menu available and what we had was good for the price. This is a friendly locals pub with good service levels. The only real issue we found is that it’s not the biggest of pubs and it’s difficult to escape the conversation of the locals engaged in vertical drinking around the bar.

Arrived last night as was watching a band at the Eden project (10 min drive away) went to the bar and then shown to our room (family room) it was bright, clean and well stocked with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk etc. After arriving back from concert we had a couple of drinks in the bar felt comfortable with the "locals" it felt like a real country pub atmosphere. After sleeping in the comfiest bed ever, we went down to have one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, you could have anything on the menu cooked how ever you liked. Yes, it's not the plaza and a bit "lived in" but it was clean, warm and i would have no problem staying here again, in fact I will book it if we ever go to Eden project again.

Did not dine here due to late arrival, but 4 of us stopped for a night in the family room. Staff were excellent: friendly and helpful. Covid safe bar area with games available (pool, board games etc). Good choice of drinks and let us eat food from elsewhere there as their kitchen had closed. Would definitely recommend.

Just as good as ever we had a very nice meal & there were new owners which were very friendly too Very nice pub very nice atmosphere

We visited The Bugle Inn after a walk around Helman Tor. There were 6 of us and 2 dogs. We all had a roast of varying sizes and different meats and we were all really happy with the meal. The veg was lovely, there were green beans, cauli cheese, carrot and swede mash, leeks and creamy mashed potato, we also had extra gravy. We had dessert as well and we would definitely come again, good selection of beers and very reasonable prices.

We booked into the Bugle Inn a day in advance for a group of 4. The lady on the phone was very polite, so we were looking forward to our visit. We each had three courses, all cooked very well and generous portions. The Pizzas were very nice and there were a variety of different choices. Our server Brandon was very attentive, friendly and efficient. Despite living only 4 miles down the road, this was our first visit, but it won’t be our last.

Popped into here for a drink whilst we were staying nearby at Carbis Wharf. We weren’t in here long but it did the job. The staff seemed friendly and I don’t really have anything negative to say. A traditional pub which seemed popular with the locals

The food was excellent and the lady who served us was fantastic, but we left before having desserts and more drinks because the pub was get very busy with locals that didn’t seem to understand social distancing and was crowing the bar.

The Bugle Inn is a traditional style property, which was reasonably priced and offered great value. We stayed for two nights in their family room. The ensuite room was very clean and tidy & provided complimentary tea and coffee making facilities and toiletries. Their breakfast menu also offered an extensive and satisfying range from a ‘Full English’ to cereals & toast. We never encountered a problem parking, in the free public car found at its rear but there may be a problem if trying to park during the evening as The Bugles patrons also park there. Staff were friendly & welcoming & did not unnecessarily disturb or hassle you. We stayed here because we were visiting The Eden Project, which was only a short drive away & we were not disappointed for the price paid. Overall pleasant experience and would recommend for a couple of days stay.

We stayed at the Bugle in for 2 nights and I must admit it is one of the nicest places I've ever stayed. The staff are warm and friendly. The room was immaculate and beautifully laid out.I would highly recommend this venue. Thank you for a lovely stay

Four different meals beautifully presented, and served in a timely manner. Delicious beef tagine, seafood chowder, ham egg and chips, and a chicken tikka massala. All cooked to perfection.

The pub is just a local place for the people in the neighbourhood. The place is tiny, hardly any decent seats to sit. Not very welcoming Food was nice. Spacious Carpark.

We stayed overnight at the Bugle and had fabulous food, the best fish & chips I've tasted in a very long time, and a fabulous price, 2 for £10 as it was Tuesday.

We ate here every evening of our stay in Bugle. There is a board of weekly specials in addition to the menu from which you can choose. The leek and potato and macaroni cheese were great. I enjoyed the Hunter's chicken. Orders seem to be done in order so it can sometimes involve a wait but the food is always freshly prepared and the portions are a good size. We found the staff to be friendly, which is why we kept going back...the beer and cider was good too!

In the past couple of weeks we have eaten in and ordered take-away pizza twice. On every occasion the food was delicious. It was presented beautifully and the portion sizes were very generous, even the small roasts. The service is friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend eating here and we will definitely eat here again.

Truth be told we didn't intend to end up at this pub but thankfully the place we were heading weren't serving food (despite advertising so) So we headed to the Bugle inn as it was on our way back to where we were staying at Carbis Wharf.The pub was quiet but friendly and welcoming.We sat and viewed the menu which was standard pub fare. I had the fish and chips as did my other half who is a major Connoisseur of the dish, my dad at the pie and peas, my sister had the medium pizza. I cant recall what the others had but we were all happy with the fresh quality and full from the generous portions :) my sister who is a pizza addict was worried she chose the medium pizza until it came and it was huge! hahaas we had ordered our food on three separate bills there were a slight and i mean slight wait between our meals but the server noticed we were sat together and apologized for the almost unnoticeable wait as he said had he known he would have brought them out together!we enjoyed the food that much we took advantage on their takeaway pizzas at the end of our week and again the food was spot on!The only thing that was even remotely 'negative' was that the car park is on the small side but that is how it is these days.Would recommend, will be back! Thank you!

Stopped at this lovely pub for something to eat after visit to Eden Project. Friendly atmosphere and lovely staff. We had fish pie which was enormous and absolutely delicious. My partner had homemade steak pie which was also amazing. Tuesdays is fish and chip night with 2 for £10 which quite a few other locals seemed to have. Portions huge and all wonderfully presented. We also sampled the homemade apple pie. Again amazing. Highly recommend this establishment. Parking not easy but don’t be put off. Would definitely visit again.

Friendly staff.Good pub grub.Comfortable ensuite room.Great breakfast.Easy parking.Many thanks,hope to see you again.

Our new Hosts presented us with a splendid perfectly cooked meal for our Sunday lunch. We ate roast beef with all the trimmings including five different veg. servings. We'll certainly be returning to enjoy the experience again soon.

We recently called here at Sunday lunchtime after booking ahead the evening before. When we got there we found it relatively quiet with spare tables. There was a special board and a main menu which together give a reasonable variety of good, wholesome pub grub. The meals when they arrived were piping, plentiful and very tasty. The staff on duty were very pleasant and approachable meaning that we all had a very enjoyable experience.

Rang here last minute to book a table and am very pleased they were able to fit us in. The menu offers something for everyone and there is a specials board too. We both ordered burgers with blue cheese topping which came with home made chips, coleslaw and sauce of choice. The meal was delicious and freshly prepared I am only sorry we were too full to eat a dessert!

Came on way to st Austell with children 11,14 and dog...made very welcome, lovely food for a lunch including fish 2 for £10 that day which was delicious. Game of pool, chew for the dog, a lovely time was had by all and all made most welcome, especially dog and children. Car park small but we got a space :) thanks, we will come again I’m sure!

We were staying at a local holiday cottage and had read reviews before booking the cottage so were feeling positive when we walked in.

We stayed here for 2 nights in January when we needed to be near to Truro and St Austell. We chose this local pub because the price was lower than nearby Travelodges/Premier Inns and included breakfast. We weren't disappointed. Our room was a good size with a king-size bed and large en-suite bathroom. Tea/coffee making in room included hot chocolate and bottled water which I thought was a nice touch.

Staff so friendly very helpful good old style pub locals nice. Food was tasty thanks chef and choice of gin wow. Thanks to all the staff.

Stayed here 3 times now and each time we've tried different things on the menu and they've had different entertainment on on the sat night. Love the atmosphere, seems very popular with the locals. Staff friendly and food delicious. The accommodation above the pub is very handy after sampling so many different local ales. Would definately recommend this place to anyone whether you are just passing through or need a place to stay.

This seems principally a locals pub, there was a league pool match on during our monday evening visit.

Visited this last weekend and not only were the staff super friendly but so were the locals. Had great food the two nights we stayed and the breakfasts were delicious too. Felt at home here. Can't wait to go back.

This pub was in walking distance from where we were staying. No driving so could sample local brews! Pleasant local pub. We ate there twice. The specials were good as were dishes from the menu. The pies are very good. Pork belly was also well cooked. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. If you are in the area try it.

Certainly the place to drop into for a great meal and real Cornish cider. Prices just right, generous meals, nice cosy and inviting atmosphere. Recommended!

Perfect local pub, short walk from the Eden's Rest B&B; where we stayed. Friendly service with good menu choices.

Qué basura!! Fuimos por algo de comer y el lugar era como un funeral!! La señora de detrás de la barra era inútil y no muy amable, ¿por qué la gente escoge esta profesión cuando es evidente que no están muy buenos?????

Visitamos este pub dos veces para comer cuando estés localmente. En la primera ocasión mi marido tenía Tarta del día, que era una tarta casera de pollo y champiñones lasaña y tuve que venía con ensalada y pan de ajo. Mi marido disfrutó su tarta como era casero y mi lasaña estaba muy sabroso y la ensalada fresca. En la segunda ocasión mi marido tenía Filete con todos los acompañamientos y yo tuvimos pescado Tarta con guisantes. La carne estaba muy tierna y tenía gran sabor y el pescado Tarta que era casero fue muy buena. Mi única crítica y este está siendo muy ordenado recoger es que me hubiera gustado que algunas gambas en pero tenía muchos peces y no era pesado con puré, que es frecuentemente el caso. También terminamos en esa visita con un plato agradable de queso y galletas.

..basically we didn't care at this point - after 1000 miles cycling - but we ate a very hearty meal that was prepared for us "after time" and this was vital for us..well done The Bugle for that..basic pub menu but tasted nice and excellent value..

La comida comenzó a ser servidos desde las 18:00 horas. Nos dieron un menú y pedimos un poco antes de las 6 de la tarde, esperamos unos 20 minutos y fue de lo más agradable. No podía soportar un dulce aunque fueron tentados por un menú delicioso dulce. La camarera fue muy amable y agradable.

Great service, good food, friendly atmosphere. What's not to like? Glad we came. Will come again when we're in the area

Mi esposo, mi bebé y yo asistimos a un domingo el 17 de abril. Al entrar en el pequeño aparcamiento en la parte trasera, usted verá un pub tradicional. Entrar en el pub se ve lo que se puede esperar de una pequeña villa, tablero de dardos, mesa de billar, chimenea, mobiliario de madera oscura y adornos de bronce colgado con una alfombra. Nos trataron con una sonrisa de un joven barman amigable con un acento local. Nos sentamos junto al bar en una mesa con una vela, limpio cubiertos y salsas presentado en una madera en mal estado titular de estilo chic. La habitación olía a limpio, las mesas y silla alta estaban limpias y eran muy felices para mi 1 años para correr. La comida era comprada muy rápido - una preciosa carne asada para nosotros tres. La carne era tierna, las verduras era el equilibrio de crujiente y suave - digamos que no había nada a la izquierda por el final. Los precios eran razonables para lo que se puede esperar de Cornualles tan satisfecho también.

Compramos un bono de Groupon para una comida de hamburguesas para dos, ya que estábamos por unos días en St Austell.

Nos alojamos en la zona y compré un vale descuento de groupon por un par de hamburguesas gourmet y eran muy buenos y habría sido una buena relación calidad-precio sin el bono. El personal era muy amable y el ambiente era muy bueno.

Paramos aquí por casualidad cuando se viaja en Cornwall y el tiempo se estaba acabando para el almuerzo. Estoy muy contenta de haberlo hecho. El propietario fue de lo más acogedor, con nuestros dos perros. Este es un pueblo de tipo pub básico con una sensación del viejo mundo (anteriormente una posada, me imagino). El bar contaba con una mesa de billar y música tranquila de fondo. El servicio era rápido y amable. La comida era muy buena y precios asequibles. estaría encantado de volver.

Fantastic Food, Great Gourmet Burgers, friendly staff and warm inviting atmosphere... what more could you ask for in a local village pub? thankyou guys :-)

Home cooked chips all dishes cooked fresh to order and a great menu for children. A great village and pub with great service.

Este año he visitado el oeste de Inglaterra banda concurso organizado en Bugle, cerca de St Austell
