Copley Arms in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Staying at a local cottage, pub was recommended to us. Wish we hadn’t bothered, veggie burger and bun dry, skinny fries had salt on them. They need to ask customers if they want salt, I don’t like it, gave my fries to partner, onion ring was nice. Partner had fish n chips, fish nice but chips were hard, mushy peas were crushed garden peas, partner doesn’t like garden peas. Won’t be going back

My family and I had the pleasure of wating at the Copley Arms this evening. The food was so tasty and plentiful. I had the steak and Stilton pie and my wife had the seafood linguini. Even the children's cheese pasta was delicious.

The fish and chips was absolutely delicious. Beautiful scenery right near a stream, lovely staff. Plenty of car parking Many thanks

Staying local so we thought we would try the local village pub for a Sunday roast Wow what a mistake that was The service was rubbish the staff spent most of the time on there phones The starter was very nice thank god we had it We both had roast pork it came out to us cold unappetising everything just piled on top of everything we had to wait for cutlery and when we was finally asked if everything was ok I clearly said NO it’s the worst roast dinner Ive ever had £17 well thank fully our dog hadn’t eaten so he had it for his tea Will not be going back and certainly not be recommending it Roast dinners are meant to be the best meal of the week Thank god we are in Cornwall and can’t go wrong with a pastie

We’ve been visiting the Copley Arms for several years now & it’s always been a place for good food. However since the management changed, the quality of the meals is on a downhill slope. We visited on Sunday 2nd June for lunch. My wife has turkey, I had lamb. The meals were well presented but barely warm. The plates were cold. The turkey was dry, vegetables were nice. However just the cabbage, it was virtually raw and cold! The lamb was plentiful but dried out. It was tough and tasteless. Just meat without flavour. I did get an apology after complaining!

Such a lovely pub to stumble upon, we returned several times during our week in Cornwall and it seems to be popular with tourists and locals alike which is always a good sign. The beer garden is very pretty sitting by the river with a small play area for any younger guests, although the place was always peaceful and relaxing. Menu looked great but only had drinks here. Staff were always very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately our meal was very disappointing -the hamburger was full of gristle…very few mushrooms in the linguine-sauce was vinegary …

The food standard was poor, coffee was terrible and atmosphere very noisy. Not a good experience. Have been to Copley Arms several times and had good food with a great atmosphere, could not work out what has changed. Is there a new owner?

We stopped here on our way back to our campsite. Turned out to be the best food we had in a very long time...friendly welcome and atmosphere. Dog was welcomed in which is really helpful. Food was incredible (steak was perfect and the pie of the day was mouth watering). Price was more than we would usually pay but worth every penny! Young chef answered our questions about ingredients and was humble about our compliments. Overall a great dining experience.

Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The food came out well decorated and hot and it was nicely seasoned. My only one tiny little ‘issue’ if you can call it that, was the service bell was loud where we were sitting (more towards the end of the restaurant) but I understand it’s for staff to hear when food is ready. It was a little bit of a conversation interruption!

Walked in for an early evening meal with our dog. Very nice greeting. The pub is nicely decorated inside ( the outside area would be amazing in the Summer I’m sure) The pub area was very busy. Not a massive menu but quite varied. My BBQ pork was good and my wife’s lamb mint pie was excellent. Good choice of beer too. Quite a reasonable price

Visited the copley as we had one a 2 course meal for two in the xmas raffle at the halfway in polbathic met to a warm welcome taken to our table few drinks and 2 cauliflower soup starters lovely then had pork tenderloin and cajun chicken burger for mains wow absolutely lovely and so much ! Thank you the copley lovely food and atmosphere

Really lovely food, perfectly done. all very delicious and service was really friendly…. I couldn’t complain about anything

My Dad and Stepmum took myself and my partner for lunch today,we were all very impressed with the service and how quick our food arrived,and the food was excellent,would definitely recommend

Lovely pub, beautifully done up inside with characterful decorations & lots of twinkly lights!! The staff are lovely & I have enjoyed popping in for a drink as it’s a large pub but seems to usually be busy! I have only eaten here for a Sunday roast but was quite disappointed, particularly as it’s quite costly for what it is. I did end up leaving everything accept the meat & cauliflower cheese, which for £18 is a shame. We would come back to maybe try the normal pub menu & we would happily return for a drink.

A warm friendly pub with great ambience , staff , music and food. The owners deserve congratulations

A warm welcome from barman Chris which heralded a Sunday Roast par excellence . Lunch was served by very pleasant and attentive staff and arrived beautifully plated , featuring quality , plentiful , locally sourced produce . After lunch we were visited at our table by a very smartly dressed and pleasant head Chef , Richard who took the trouble to speak with us , making sure that all of our needs had been catered for .. which indeed they had . Highly recommended

We decided to try The Copley for lunch and was not disappointed. We had pie of the day which was delicious. Service was ok we were certainly made to feel welcome so a good experience. Some of these recent reviews I can't quite understand they must have gone to a different pub. As an ex publican and chef I happily recommend this pub.

We have just had a fabulous evening experience. The service was outstanding..I have never been to such a wonderful pub.The food was exceptional fresh fish beautiful sides hot .The staff were fantastic Judy particularly. The Landlady introduced herself gave a hug lovely lady. Brilliant music. It is now are place to go to.In a sad world this lovely place lifted our spirits massively. I highly recommend. Thanks so much Mike and Sue

We went to the Copley Arms for Sunday lunch. We had been there before and enjoyed it however our experience yesterday was very different. The girl showing us to our table looked thoroughly miserable and never broke a smile during our entire visit. Not the warm welcome they advertise. The roast dinners were barely warm and therefore not enjoyable. We did not indulge in dessert due to the atmosphere and also the increase in price from £7 to £10. Based on today’s experience I doubt we will return.

Was holidaying in looe. Called in on 17th Oct for lunch. Lunch menu. Very disappointed only had 4 items on main menu. Asked if they could do us a sirloin steak they refused. When meal came presentation was absolute terrible. When it was time to pay my bill they had items on my bill I hadn't had. As I had already paid I had to go back and get refund for what I hadn't had. Would never set foot there again. As I holiday in looe 3 times a year. I gave a 1 star think that was very generous.

We saw a sign advertising two Fish and Chip meals for £25 and live music and so decided to go there on the last night of our holiday. The fish and chips (including gluten free) was large tasty and well worth the money. Other dishes looked more expensive but the food looked good and was well presented. It is a dog friendly pub. And then to top it all Elvis was in the building. We did get the impression it was normally a bit more upmarket than it appeared on our visit but we enjoyed the evening as it was after a day exploring Cornwall.

We went for Sunday Roast. I ordered the lamb which was £7.00 more than the chicken £19.95 total. The food was barely luke warm and consisted of 3 under cooked roast potatoes a sliver of parsnip, one small carrot, red cabbage which was ok. 3 slices of non discript meat, a side dish of something shredded and green and brown cauliflower cheese. When we asked for extra gravy we had to ask twice because they forgot. Out of a table of 5 next to us 3 of them sent there food back for being cold. Shall not eating ther again. Its only roast how hard is that.

Stunning pub next to the stream. Food was amazing. Fish and chips were so fresh and crispy and light. New burger was outstanding! Highly recommended!

Amazing little pub, happened to land on an elvis night! Absolutely brilliant! Food to die for and campervan friendly so we stayed the night. Definitely coming back x

We happen to come across this lovely little gem of a pub when enjoying our time down in looe popped in to see if they were doing food and was met by a lovely lady who I believe was the manageress who was very accommodating to have us we ordered some drinks and she took our order for food of three burgers but with some things taken off it as we didn't eat it. And all I can say is that it was nothing was too much of a problem to be honest we all said that it was One of the best meals we have ever had even the chef come to check if everything was okay with our meal and that was a big difference that I have never experienced and what I seen with the rest of the food that It's a shame that our hoilday has come to a end but hopefully we will be back soon. So all I can say is if your passing by this lovely little gem of Cornwall's crown stop in you will never be disappointed the food is like heaven and the chef and the kitchen staff bar staff and owners 100% know what they are doing. Keep up the good work guys hopefully see you soon.

Lovely pub and lovely food. Very friendly staff and nice seating area's outside as well as inside. Very enjoyable experience.

Was the best chicken burger I’ve had in years and the portion sizes are massive well worth the money

Mussels were amazing. Staff so lovely and accommodating. Lovely friendly atmosphere will definitely come back very soon.

Had a Sunday roast which tasted OK but came out of the kitchen far too quickly to have been freshly prepared. But the reason this review is so low is the price. £47.50 for 2 drinks (1 non alcoholic) and 2 roasts. I thought I...

We stayed just down the road, and after popping here for a quick drink on arrival day, we made this our stop off nearly everyday on way back. Great food, great drinks great pub.

Kitchen closed, we arrived before 6pm. The advice of where to go was also shut. No breakfast but advised a place up the road opened at 8am. It was 9am which was too late. Pub shut at 9.30 so no drink. Shower was scalding hot...

There was no breakfast available, although it was advertised as a B&B. On arrival at 5pm Sunday was told there was no food available for an evening meal. It’s in the middle of nowhere so we had to get in the car again, was told...

Went to celebrate a 60th birthday. We had a great meal, the staff greeted us like friends, got on first name basis with the birthday boy. Overall made the visit extra special. Would definitely recommend and will obviously be returning soon.

We popped in for lunch on Friday for lunch. Even though the restaurant was quiet, the food was very slow. We was not offered to see what was on the specials board and had to ask what the pie of the day was. After getting...

What a beautiful gem of a pub! Warm, friendly and full of character. And dog friendly too. We booked at the last minute to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with family whilst on holiday nearby and arrived to find bunting and confetti on the table!...

Excellent lunch,friendly welcoming staff, really lovely food and dog friendly. Really enjoyed the lamb shank and nice to have Korev on tap. Will certainly be back

Nice pub, extremely busy lunch service. Took a while for our order to be taken, but then lunch was served within 2 minutes, felt like it was almost already plated up ready. We didn’t receive the veg accompaniments, but these were brought to us when...

Very friendly staff and stunning setting. However, the food is as extremely disappointing. The monkfish scampi was burnt, the chips were dry. The steak and pizza were satisfactory. I wouldn’t eat there again

Bit of a mixed bag. Staff very friendly, nice setting and most of the food was good, especially the pie of the day. But the pizza was burnt and the chilli was a bit old. Brownie was hard, sticky toffee pudding ok but luke wam...

Lovely country pub, good food and drinks and great for dog owners as very welcoming. Our Sunday lunch was lovely and reasonably priced.

Excellent old pub with excellent food and lovely staff. Stopped here on the way home from looe and saw the sign outside for fish Friday. Great atmosphere and lovely fish and chips. Thanks

After a beach walk we came to this pub for some refreshment, what a little gem, great atmosphere, cozy traditional country pub with friendly staff. Plenty of room in the restaurant, bar, and also a function room at the back.

I keep expecting this place to let us down but it just never happens. Family meal tonight. When booking the table, we said we liked the live music so they placed us near the bar/music area. Again,the restaurant was very busy but the guys treated...

We booked a table the night before as we were visiting the area and not sure where to go for a Sunday roast. When we arrived the pub was bustling and full to the brim with people and atmosphere. Staff welcomed us warmly and their...

Hadn’t been for 2 years. What a wonderful surprise. You can feel the lift the Copley has had as soon as you walk in. Cosy and atmospheric. Really friendly staff and locals, combines a proper local pub/bar with a fantastic restaurant. For me, to be...

I have left a positive review for the Copley Arms before, but tonight they blew us away. We booked a table for 11 for Xmas eve. We knew they would be really busy and run off their feet and had agreed we would accept what...

My fiancé and I were staying in the area and looking for a nice country pub for a late lunch/early dinner. We found this one which was perfect and so Christmassy with all the lights and decor! We sat down and the chef asked if...

Our party of 4 arrived on time for our table booked for 7.30pm. The pub was busy. We were seated and drinks order taken and delivered promptly. We were left the menus for quite a while before anyone came to take our order and then...

Been past this establishment many many times, but never stopped. Always commented on how attractive it looks. We had a roast dinner here today, which was splendid. A good selection of vegetables and the meat was beautiful. We had to compliment the landlady on how...

This place was recommended in our holiday apartment handbook. We stayed in Looe but wanted something a little different to eat. We had the lamb shank and the chicken. Both was delicious. When we received the bill they asked us to check it so that...

We have had a wonderful evening with beautifully cooked food. Amazing service as there was 14 of us. All food piping hot . Puddings lovely. All dishes were home made. Totally amazing experience

Greeted with a smile, seated straightaway even though very busy. Advise to call ahead, however we were lucky! A little slow to start with service but to be fair the food was worth the wait! The roast was amazing the atmosphere is great. Well done...

This is a long established pub/restaurant in a fabulous setting and I haven’t been here for years, and that’s a shame but it will definitely be on my regular as possible go to from now on.. A lovely welcome, cosy and comfortable. Good service, excellent...

Having made the mistake of booking late for a sunday lunch, we were very lucky to be accommodated. The roast was fantastic, a number of choices and the veg served as it should be. Amanda (owner), Rich (Top Chef), have it very fine tuned ....

We stayed for one night on our way to a week in Cornwall. The room smelt damp, there was no hot water in the sink tap to have a wash or shave, it had no plug anyway. The shower was either boiling hot or freezing...

I liked it here...... Now I'm hard to please not liking crowds or to much hassle and bustle. When we arrived we were shown to table 13 😬 right by the bar in the walkway. I think the fear on my face must have shown...

We visited the Copley Arms earlier this month and it was absolutely lovely! The food was amazing, the atmosphere is brilliant and the staff and owners (Shane and Amanda) couldn’t have been more welcoming! Thoroughly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed!

Attentive staff, lovely pub food, Good portion size, a gem of a pub, I’ve had lunch and dinner here now and both were great. A astounded by other reviews that differ from my findings….. game playing going on me thinks! Keep up the good work...

Let me start by saying I’ve just been to the Copley Arms for the third time this week. Once for lunch, once for an evening meal and today for Sunday roast. Each and every meal has been exceptional! The staff work their tails off here...

What a fantastic find. We only live 15 minutes away and have driven past so many times and never been in before tonight and I'm so glad we did. We had reserved a table for 6 and were seated immediately and served drinks. We were...

We visited the Copley Arms after visiting local village of Seaton. The outside is very quaint, looks pretty & well kept. When we first got there, we stood by the bar, waiting to be served & told where we should sit for our meal. There...

Was recommended this pub by a local. Wished I'd read some of the reviews first,.Food was awful, it was more like frozen supermarket value! very disappointed . For me its a nice pub just for a drink and the staff are lovely .

The food was lovely however we did question the bill, only to be told that half a ramekin of baked beans on three children’s meals were £3:50 each. Not sure how they justify such extortionate prices. Sadly wouldn’t go back again out of principle.

Lovely welcome, friendly and professional staff. Local feel with pride clear in all they were doing. I had the lamb shank and my partner had the pie of the day. All aspects were well cooked with quality produce used. Food was hot and well presented....

Nice setting, but the visit just kept getting worse! Ate out all week and not only was this the most expensive place it was the only place we had issues. Main issue being kids meal of chicken Goujons and chips, my kid wanted chicken burger...

We live fairly locally to the Copley and our last visit was a while ago. This was our first visit since the new owners took over and it most certainly won't be our last. From the time we walked through the door to the minute...

Our son recently ate here and said how good it was so we thought we’d try it. Why we’ve never been before I don’t know as we don’t live that far away. My husband had the pie and I had the prawn carbonara both full...

Rang to book a table and spoke to a lovely young lad who booked us in. Upon arrival we were met by smiling staff who couldn’t have been more accommodating. There are two veggies in our family and the choice was good. We have found...

We came here for an early dinner. The place was very busy: they have a play area for children and there was also a barbecue going when we arrived, which we could order food from. Service was friendly although a bit harried due to the...

Maybe came on a bad day but very disappointed. Two meals came out about 20 min before the rest. Sticky tables, flys buzzing around everywhere. Food was below average. Staff very friendly but definitely needed training on table etiquette ie don’t stating taking away the...

Beautiful setting, lovely surrounding. Unfortunately the service was a very frantic and disorganised on our first trip to the bar. On second visit to the bar(to order food) we were ignored whilst waiting for a while. The bar staff then said ‘be with you in...

Sat at a table outside the only one available in the shade. It was full of dirty crockery and glasses from the customers before. Staff were walking past the table empty handed ignoring the debris attracting wasps and flies. The lady on the table kindly...

Food was lovely, service was atrocious. Unfortunately the wrong food was delivered to the wrong person (burgers with different cheeses) and by the time we had realised it was too late to swap them as they had been started. The waiter was abrupt when asking...

Recently visited with some of my family for a birthday, and I don't usually feel compelled to write reviews but did so on this occasion. The plan was to have dinner here and then go to the beach with the dog afterwards, but we had...

I enjoyed a lovely cod and chips in this well ran pub after a day walking. Shane and Amanda made me very welcome, it was very relaxing and a good end to a day, I would visit again if I was in the area.

The setting, inside and out takes your mind to a different place, steeped in tradition whilst in the same sentence exactly why you visit such a fine (world class) established off the scale, super Gastro Pub. The customer service if possible takes you to an...

Having passed this restaurant many times we decided to try it. Having ordered 3 meals we received 2 and had to wait for the 3rd. When it came the fish was burnt and not very appealing at all. We were offered desserts complimentary but decided...

Phoned to book the evening before with no problem. We arrived and were greeted by lovely staff who showed us to our table and explained the specials whilst taking the drinks order, before taking food order when delivering the drinks. Food arrived quickly and was...

Phoned to ask about a table offered one 30 mins later. When we arrived greated by a very friendly waitress who showed us to the table and took our drink order. Brought the drinks and took the food orders. The food arrived very quickly and...

Very pretty setting, friendly, efficient service with both drink and food. Good selection of drinks including Rattler on tap! And Kernow larger. Relaxing and welcoming
