Crooked Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We normally eat at home on a Sunday as we think we cook better ourselves. My son has his driving test in 15 days so we thought that whould give him some experience and would have lunch out booking it on Saturday for the Sunday lunchtime half way round our route. We arrived and were shown to our booked table and then shown the menu after a drinks order was taken. My wife ordered a crab dish and my son and I had the charcuterie. My wifes meal arrived and she finished it but no shared meal. We asked what had happened and they forgot to put it on the order. We then got it 10 minutes later. Our main courses, which took some time to arrive, were a roast turkey, risotto and carbonara. Again my wifes arrived but ours arrived several minutes later and was tepid as though it had been waiting in the kitchen for some time. We returned it and it was returned warmer but the carbanara was dry and the risoto was bland and congealed. When asked at the end of the meal "how was it" we stated it was less than mediocre The waitress said "but you have eaten it all", cleared the dishes and walked away. When paying at the bar, again asked "how was it", we again stated it was less than satisfactory and the first waitress, who was standing near by, went into "but you eat it". I feel that the meal was not organised, from start to finish took 2.5 hours and our impressions wasn't helped by this. The starters were okay, the roast was average, the turkey was processed, the carrots over cooked and the gravy was like water. The carbanara was thick strips of pasta with no sauce so was dry, my risotto was by the time I ate it a stodgy mess. I can remember when the Inn had a good reputation but I am afraid they do not care enough for their food.

Came here last night for my son’s 18th Birthday. The staff were attentive and super nice. The atmosphere here is lovely, big open fire and a homely feel. The food was outstanding so whoever the chef is knows his stuff. Thank u so much for giving us a lovely night.

We have just eaten lunch at the Crooked Inn. Most disappointing. Did not feel at all welcome. Slow service and very little attention given. Basic food overpriced. £27.95 for 2 simple courses! What a shame, as it was a special get-together for us all.

We had a 4 night stay here with friends. My wife is in a wheelchair & we have a small dog so we stayed in an "Adapted Room" (No. 14 - Walk-In Shower etc.). It was just fantastic! The staff could not help us enough - they were really attentive, polite and so welcoming. I can't speak too highly of them. Food, accommodation and location was just perfect....so much so we've re-booked for 2025. A massive thank you to the Crooked Inn.

My partner and I stayed here overnight . We were given a room on the first floor, and I didn't realise that there were ground floor rooms. Otherwise, I would have requested one. The room was nicely decorated. It looked a little basic. There was, however, a king-size bed with an excellent mattress and bedding, a desk with one seat, a wall mounted tv, and a hospitality tray with tea , coffee granules, and a jar with filter coffee. There was a small coffee pot and a packet of biscuits. Sugar in the room, but you have to collect milk from the bar. This could be problematic in warmer weather. The power shower has three power settings, instructions are given, but they aren't really necessary. Bottles of shampoo and soap/bodywash are provided. The room has everything you need for a comfortable night , it's very quiet apart from the sound of doors opening. That isn't a problem, though. The one room bar has an added conservatory, and there is a fireplace, just one of the original features . The lighting is subdued, which adds a cosy feel. The bar had a couple of local beers and spirits, too. We had lunch , I think the food is seasonal and had some interesting choices, including risottos, game, crab whitebait, steaks , pies, fish & chips, and curry.. The food is a little.pricy, but the portions are generous and usually prepared to order. The staff are efficient but not particularly friendly. Food orders are taken at the table, with very little conversation, if any. There is a garden with children's play areas. Children aren't allowed in the bar. Dogs allowed but must be on a lead, I think thete is one pub dog and rather aloof cat , no other animals to be seen. We came down to breakfast last, I think, We wete dealt with briskly, and I got the feeling that we had to rush. The Eggs Royale was OK. The hollandaise was rather thin and a little too much lemon . Breakfast includes cereals, yoghurt , cereal bars , fresh fruit ( small portions),preserves, and cooked options. My partner chose the full English, thete was no hogs pudding by the looks of things .Generally presented well. We weren't offered toast, I didn't want any, but it's good to be asked. The breakfast room is above the bar. The inn is situated 2.5 miles outside Saltash on the Liskeard road and is signposted . You turn into what looks like a farm track and then down a drive. The inn is worth a visit in its own right , due to its age. Apparently, it can get busy, so if you plan to eat, then consider reserving a table. .

The staff at the Crooked Inn really went out of their way to make my mum’s birthday dinner a memorable occasion. Fantastic food (starters / sharing platters and mains) and unhurried, friendly service made this an evening to remember. Fantastic - thank you!

Overall, it was a pleasant stay. The bar and restaurant area is charming, with a lovely courtyard outside. Both the dinner and breakfast were good. I've attached some pictures. However, there was one issue that marred my experience. Upon check-in, the lady asked, "Do you want some fresh milk to take to your room?" This surprised me, as most hotels nowadays provide long-life milk cartons as standard. Unfortunately, this place only offers fresh milk on request. This was inconvenient because if you want a cup of tea or coffee in the morning, you would have to leave the bedroom block, trek across the courtyard, and into the pub in your pyjamas. Alternatively, taking a small jug to your room the night before means the milk would likely spoil by morning, especially since the rooms don't have fridges. It would be much better if they provided milk cartons with the tea and coffee tray. Additionally, I noticed on their website that they claim all their rooms have Vi-Spring mattresses. This was not the case for me. My mattress (Room 1) was just a standard one – nothing special, and suspect the other bedrooms might be same. There were a fair fe cobwebs in my room too and two spiders. But apart from these niggles overall a nice place and I do recommend it. But they do need to provide milk cartons.

Third time this week as on holiday. Fantastic food, had small plate option so we could have pudding. Recommended the cookie dough.

Met family at the Crooked inn for dinner last night. Went in the bar there was a guy stood in the corner of the bar I asked if food was being served and he handed me 4 very dirty and stained menus and told us to find a table. We picked a table the guy came took our drinks order tried to start a conversation but he didn't want to know, the drinks came and he took the food order. We ordered 2 fish and chips 1 ham egg and chips and duck breast from the specials board. The food arrived and at first glance did not look over apitizing, the fish was full of bones the chips were disgusting black and hard, the eggs on the ham egg and chips were hard. A young lady came and asked if all was OK with the the food before we could answer she had gone. I called the guy over and pointed out the state of the chips he said I will get some fresh ones he came back after a few minutes with a bowl of chips that were worse than what we already had. I said after a complaint I thought the chef might have made an effort. He never commented nor gave an apology he just couldn't care so I asked for the bill he said go to the bar if you want to pay, we paid he never said thanks or good night. A total lack of interest in his Job. One to avoid in future. With so many establishments in the hospitality sector closing you would think they would try a little harder a smile comes for free and so do manners.

Visited today for lunch but hadn’t booked. Called beforehand to check they were open and a very friendly lady advised that they were open until 3pm which was good (another pub we tried didn’t answer the phone and we tried twice ) We received a very friendly welcome. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere , lots of choice on the menu. In particular the risotto was really tasty ! We’ll have no hesitations about re visiting.

Visited for a family meal . Food and staff were absolutely fantastic. I will be visiting this restaurant every time we travel to this area, I cannot fault the food and great friendly service

Four of us had dinner here whilst visiting Plymouth. We ordered two Nachos starters between the four of us which were lovely, but they were so large we couldn’t finish them. I had Scallop Linguine to follow, which I only managed to eat half of. Others had a Burger, Chicken and Risotto. All were delicious but no one managed to finish their meals, which was a huge waste of food. The poor servers were carrying excess food from all the tables back to the kitchen. Obviously we didn’t order desserts …

Very disappointed. Stopped in for a nice meal. Ordered 2 lamb stews. Both plates arrived with one piece of lamb, size of a 5p piece. Chef must have know as he gave us one each. We pointed it out straight away and they reduced the £19 to £9 equivalent to a bowl of veg soup. Why did they not say that the lamb stew had finished instead of trying to fob us off. Won't be going there again. Shame as looked like a lovely pub.

This place was not easy to find but I'm glad we persevered. Two of us had the ribs which were absolutely gorgeous and so filling, we could not even consider a desert. The other had the steak and kidney pudding - it was massive but so nice it had to be eaten. Not cheap but certainly worth a visit.

We had a lovely meal today, all the food was hot, extremely tasty and excellent value for money, my hubby was very impressed with his scallop linguine, I had the steak and kidney pudding, absolutely delicious, think it’s the best I’ve ever had, staff were very friendly and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, we will definitely be returning thank you

After shopping in Plymouth we fancied a meal but it was getting late. Phoned the pub and advised last orders for lunch were 3 o’clock. We just made that but weren’t made to feel rushed, given time to order drinks and look at the menu although I think the chef had to stay on. 2 of us had the steak pudding. Be warned, it’s huge! Very tender meat and nice pot of gravy to put on. Chips were excellent. One person had the scallop linguine and said it was rich and delicious. Decent prices and lovely ambiance, thank you

Food OK but… Slow drinks service. Food good, but we were forgotten after that! No clearing of plates, no offer of desserts -very tempting just to walk out without paying, & tbh they probably wouldn’t have noticed, & serve them right! 😡

Looking for a country pub for lunch after a long drive and happened across this by accident. A beautiful place, the staff were superb and an asset and the food was DELICIOUS! Dog friendly, huge garden and lots of outdoor space with kids play equipment. Loved the conservatory with the vines! A true gem - visit this place!

Came in last night for some dinner. The young blonde girl behind the bar which I assume is called Jazmin as many people said her name to her was taking photos and chatting to the other bar lady then actually serving customers we waited a while to be served. Also her and the other lady was shining torches into each others mouths saying they was checking each others teeth. I got a pint of Jail Ale which was a bit funny tasting and a Gammon Egg and chips which was okay but if you want to be served in a nice place avoid at all costs.

A unique private country pub and inn in an off the beaten track country side. We stayed in a Comfort King size bedroom for 5 nights during our Cornwall vacation. Accommodation: lovely sized room with shower and sofa. Comfortable bed. Food: We dined in the resturant with an extended conservatory in the evenings during our stays. There are many choices on the evening menu for both starters and nains. The food was good and we had no complaints. Breakfast: There is a breakfast menu where you can choose continental or cooked breakfast. Good choices of cooked breakfast. We had the Full English which was very good. Staff service: We found the staff are friendly and helpful, whether they are behind the bar or serving the tables. There are a few young staff serving the tables which is good to see from an employment perspective. Although young they may be, they are polite and hardworking. During our stay, there were a few glitches with our room, however they were quickly resolved with apologies. We were grateful for the immediate attention that were given to our concerns and how the owners were doing their best to accommodate. We had enjoyed our stay at the Crooked Inn and we will definitely return for our future visit to Cornwall. P.S. This is a dog friendly place and the owners three labradors are gorgeous. The Wise-Ones 22nd - 27th August 2023

Having not visited this pub for a couple of years we popped in on our way to Cornwall. It’s disappointing to see poor reviews as we had good service, a lovely meal and were very well looked after. This was our experience a few years ago, certainly we will return.

One of the most disappointing meals out for a long time. The unwelcoming staff and lack of customer service was just the start of an awful meal. Drinks slammed onto sticky tables, dirty / worn paper menus and it just got worse. After sending my first meal back, it was stone cold lasagna, I was given an over salted and quite revolting replacement slice of lasagna!! 3 out of the 5 meals we ordered were inedible. No one came to check our food was ok at any point. Staff showed little care that the food provided was revolting so we paid and left. Such a shame as we had enjoyed some lovely meals in the past. Avoid. So many better places to eat locally.

Poor service, average food. The barmaid spent about 15 minutes playing with her hair/ putting it up in the middle of the bar which is very unhygienic and also meant she was doing that rather than serving anyone. They ran out of lots of things we asked for. I ordered focaccia which turned out to be 2 slices of white toast! It wasn’t a awful experience just a bit disappointing.

We didn’t have a booking and they sat us easily as it wasn’t busy but the menus they gave us were dirty. We ordered quickly and the staff were friendly, the food and drinks came out quickly. After we had been given our mains we were completely ignored, no one came to check that our food was okay (it wasn’t great and was overpriced) and we were waiting at least 10 minutes for our plates to be taken after and then we counted another 10 minutes and got up to go to the bar to pay as no one had come over. The staff served other tables around us and avoided eye contact. I work in a restaurant and understand that it’s hard to serve everyone equally but we would have ordered desserts if we had been given the chance. We also weren’t given the bill when we asked to pay so had no way to check what we were paying for. No one ever apologised to us and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Driving down a long lovely lane to find this pub looked hopeful little lunch before grocery shopping in Waitrose. But as we entered into the pub my instincts wanted me to turn around and go out again ! But my partner forever hopeful encouraged me to give it a try . ( we should of carried on and bought a sandwich from Waitrose) What a pity this could be a total goldmine in the correct hands . How hard is it to give fresh food !!! I had crab salad it was 1 tablespoons of not fresh crab meat possibly the little plastic containers of white crab meat tasteless . Soggy salad on this apparently homemade bread really hard . My partner had seafood medley plastic potted shrimps or tin with a few strips of smoked salmon and soggy tired salad. We should have known as the conservatory was filthy dusty , cobwebs , sticky tables . Don’t bother stopping shocking food .

Shocking customer service from the older lady waitress! Was one of our favourite pubs to visit but she has put us off now and won’t be returning

We booked and stayed, food was fabulous, home made nachos were the best! Unfortunately we had booked a garden view room but ended up in room 4 which overlooked a busy noisey carpark. Doors banging people shouting until closing time. Unfortunately the same the following morning with who we presume are staff. Banging car doors and talking. Bed was very uncomfortable all ripped stained and very old. Only one chair and tv too high on the wall to be able to watch without getting neck ache.

Lovely stay, excellent hospitality, very dif friendly, great staff and super food and beers. Pleased we found and stayed

What fabulous service. The lady (assume owner) was so welcoming. We arrived at 245pm after long trip from midlands looking for somewhere to eat. Despite kitchen closing at 3 we were told to have a seat and we can order. Food was lovely (perfect chips no grease ). Real good size portions. A little expensive but worth every penny for warm service and good quality food. Am hoping to squeeze another visit whilst we are here.Would recommend

I've lived in Saltash for 15 years and had never stopped in before - we were treated to one of the best meals i've ever had. The courtyard area to the front of the pub is gorgeous (especially when the festoon lights are on in the evening). Service was warm and welcoming and the staff we're clearly very busy but took the time to make us feel special. Food was excellent. Top notch steak, cooked perfectly with an outstanding port and stilton sauce. We'll be back, very soon!

We wanted to treat a friend to a special meal as she had done us a good turn. We booked this pub which we had been to several times 2 years ago. She had scallops and pasta, a dish I had had previously and enjoyed, I had sea bass and my husband had steak.He did not enjoy his chips which were cooked in old oil and were soft and overcooked. My husband did not feel well in the night and our friend also reported that she had been unwell. We will not be returning.

I was taken here for a treat by 2 friends. Walked through the lovely garden into the pub. Greeted by an indifferent waitress and shown to an indoor table in the main lub rather than the conservatory table we had booked. We were told that we could eat in the conservatory - the free tables hadn’t been cleaned and were sticky. We were asked what we would like to drink - there was no drink menu offered and the waitress seemed in a hurry so I ordered some wine, if I had realised they did rattler cider I would have had that instead.I ordered the scallop linguine - a huge portion of overcooked scallops on a bed of spaghetti in a rather cloying sauce.We weren’t offered a dessert menu.During the night I had a bad stomach and couldn’t stop going to the loo.So - nice place and setting, unfriendly waitress, indifferent food.

We walked to the Crooked Inn on a recommendation. Very disappointing light lunch & not what we would expect from a 4 Star AA rated Inn. Poor quality of the food & Wine. Over priced & poor quality.

On our way further South, and wanted to stop for lunch,Just after the Tamar Bridge, followed the signs and found the Crooked Inn.Did wonder where we were going, the driveway is a bit back of beyond, but what a gem at the end of it, really tucked away.Easy parking, lovely setting.Lunch menu with well cooked Fresh fish, nothing not to like.Will probably be back, and as they do accommodation as well could be stopping off there

We had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and the food was just lovely. When we had friends over this weekend we suggested this place for a roast based on our previous visit… I was very disappointed that they do not offer a children’s portion roast and the only options are fried stuff with chips… sausages, chicken goujons, beef burger, fish… nothing that’s a proper meal with veg… When our roasts came out they smelled amazing and the vegetables were really crisp and fresh and the Yorkshire’s were pretty huge, thats the only positives really… at £14 it’s not exactly cheap and the quality just wasn’t there, gravy was watery, potatoes hard, cabbage was way to heavily seasoned with pepper, meat was nice once I got through all the fat…

we went to the crooked inn for a 50th wedding anniversary meal with our daughter in law karen and her friend niki when we went to order our food a meal that i wanted was not available so asked for part of another meal and was told the chef wouldn't do it when we complained the manager was a total waiste of time and the food wasn't brilliant how ever we were going to arange our 50th anniversary party for about 25 how ever they will not be getting my business we will go to some body who puts the customer first it is the first and last time we will go there

Popped in for lunch 20/5. We ordered the Halloumi burger and a white bait ‘starter’, as two main meals. I’m told the Halloumi burger was excellent. My white bait was off-the-scale good. In fact, the best whitebait I’ve ever had. We shared some chips which were a delight in themselves. An absolutely top drawer meal in lovely surroundings.

My friend and I went to The Crooked Inn for her birthday meal and were very extremely happy with the choice. The food was amazing, so tasty and large portions as nothing worse if you still feel hungry when you leave. Definitely not the case here. It was also excellent value for money. The staff were very polite and rushed off their feet yet service was quick. The settings were beautiful and rustic. I have told everyone to go there and will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing meal. 2 very happy people left that day.

Had read review and yes food did take a while but was perfect. We had the lamb the duck and the monkfish curry - flavours and seasoning all spot on. Would literally make an effort to come back. House Malbec was impressive too.

Food was amazing, big portions, welcome us and our dog would recommend it . Got a lovely position with the evening sun .

We booked a Table for lunchtime. When we arrived it was relatively quiet and we were offered drinks straight away it then took at lest 25 mins for anyone to come and take food orders and another 1/2 hour for food to arrive. I must say the food was excellent and we cannot complain I was also extremely impressed by the realistic sized portions so was not left feeling guilty for wasting food. We finished our meal but it took a long time for our plates to be cleared and for any additional drinks to be offered by this time we were not interested in a dessert. I would recommend highly for food but the awful service has meant we won’t be returning in a hurry.

We were here recently for a meal with friends and found it to be quite good. The setting is lovely with ducks and geese wandering around outside and it's dog friendly too which is always nice to see. The food was very nice but took quite a while to arrive. We would have had dessert but were never offered any even though we realised we'd sat chatting after our mains for over an hour.

Loved the Crooked Inn last time we visited. Great food and ate there most of our holiday. This time however was somewhat disappointing. Table booked for half 7, ordered food before 8 and was closer to 10pm before we ate. Food was a bit mediocre and cold but we stuck it out unlike some fellow diners at a nearby table. Must say I enjoyed my halloumi burger with the salsa that came with it.

iWent to this establishment for todays (12/8) lunchtime service. The pub is tucked away from the main road in a lovely rural.setting. Rhere is plenty of outside seating which you share with tje resident ducks and geese. There is a childrens play area if required and plenty of parking.The service a little bit slow but that is because the food is cooked fresh. Between my wife and myself we had two starters and two mains, two pints of cider and two soft drinks. Due to the government scheme this all came to less than £20. So full.payment would have.been less than.£40 for an excellent meal.This is a lovelyplace to spend an afternoon lunchtime.We have been here before an no doubt will come again.For evening service it is best to book

Arrived at 7pm, it was not busy. I had to ask for another drink after an hour. Food took 1.5hrs to arrive. Staff more interested in having a chat. Food was nice but this could be because I was extremely hungry when it arrived. A dog also come to join us at the table. I had to ask for salt and pepper and no offer of sauces. I've been here before and have been happy however the service (for the time any received) was poor and now I will not revisit.

We have stayed here before and it has always been really good but this time was exceptional. We had an evening meal on 31/7/20. I had the BBQ ribs with chips and coleslaw which were beautiful. My fiancée had the curry which had scallops and prawns in it. Presentation was great - it looked like something from Masterchef. Other half said the flavour was awesome. A comfy nights sleep followed by a great breakfast before we headed off. All provided within what felt like a safe environment, where Covid restrictions had been put in place. Thank you - we will see you again xxxx

We revisited on first day of our holiday. First pub we have been in since lock down eased, felt very safe, sat in conservatory and only every other table was booked. Great pub grub, huge portions, great service. will be back next month!

Wonderful food, a very good menu with something for every one. Service can not be faulted. Dog friendly. Out of town so far or taxi needed but so worth it.

The food here is really nice (we had carvery) although everyone in the party agreed it wasn't hot enough. We also hadn't realised that you had to go upstairs to choose it then carry back down the stairs and through the bar/restaurant, might be worth noting for anyone with mobility issues. I have to agree with previous reviewers that the overall feel is very tired. Many aspects of the venue feel promising but unfortunately don't quite meet the mark. The location is pleasant, the open fire pretty but yes, dusty. The conservatory should be much nicer but desperately needs a paint & a tidy-up. Small details do make a difference i.e not enough cutlery (restaurant only half full), dead flowers as table centrepiece and neglected vine hanging from ceiling. Not ideal first impressions. I suppose that sums it up. We had a nice enough time but the price just didnt match the details, ambience or service. It had the feel of a local pub but without the atmosphere and the menu/food of a restaurant but in a slightly grubby environment. We wouldn't go out of our way to return.

The crooked in is a must if your looking for a lovely meal with a playground for the children. It has lovely views and is just off the main A38

Rubbish. 3 deep in beer swilling blokes to order food or to settle bill....I know these people pay the bills but a food service point is needed. The menu hasn’t been updated in the 5 years we have been visiting. Specials are double the price and really.... NOT WORTH THE EXTRA Pennies!!!However having said that if after 5 years of loyal usage we aren’t coming back, where the hell do we go??? No local alternatives. Food quality and service in east Cornwall is really really awful.PS ffs dust up the corners and around the window frames!!!!!!!!! Hygiene isn’t that hard folks. There’s a cobweb in the conservatory that could now be declared a conservation area. Be warned.

I used to love visiting this pub many years ago, so when my daughter in law booked us all a table here I was really looking forward to a carvery.. Very reasonably priced but very very disappointed with the meal which was cold, tasteless, beef undercooked and very fatty.. I gave my meat to my dogs so they were happy.. Most of the staff were very friendly but when my husband talked to the guy serving at the carvery to say the meal was not good he said it was because we were late (2.30 - carvery shuts at 3) and then called him argumentative not the response you'd expect

Was recommended this little gem by a family member who lives local.Have to say one of the best bar meals we’ve had in a long time.Seven of us went and everyone said how delicious their meal was.We were sat in the conservatory part. If there was one thing on a negative Was that the chimney must need sweeping because the smell was quite intense coming from the log fire.Wouldn’t put us off returning!

We sat in the conservatory area which was beautiful with grape vines covering the ceiling. We had 3 courses, all of which were amazing and we were all very impressed. The inside area is lovely and cosy too with a fire and lots of comfy seating. I will definitely be coming again and would fully recommend.

Called in on Friday evening with no reservation, very warm welcome and seated straight away.Great friendly atmosphere and very clean surroundings.Drinks order taken , we looked at the menu and there was plenty on offer , plus there was a great specials list on too. Drinks arrived and food order taken, 12 minutes later it arrived piping hot and plenty of it , the food was excellent .We will be back very soon , and have already recommended this to many people .

This has now become my local when I am down this way in business. Lovely and quiet with pleasant views and quirky surroundings. The rooms are great and the service and food fantastic. You are always created with a smile, shown to your room and given nice fresh milk. The locals are all friendly as well. Service is superb and food matches with my favourites being the garlic mushrooms, Fajitas or burger.Everything is so well priced as well. I will keep coming back to this hidden gem.

Ate here with my boyfriend, we literally stumbled upon the place after a quick google search of what restaurants were in the area, so thought we’d give it a go. It was lovely! Friendly service, excellent food, that was reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Although they don’t do good between 4-5pm.

Ate there last night, one of our party had allergies and the staff were very careful to check ingredients for her. Atmosphere was clean, warm, welcoming, there was plenty of room too, not at all crowded. The food was first rate, especially the fish dishes, an ample amount on each plate and nicely hot. Didn’t take too long to arrive either.

Just about the best pasta I've eaten. They have a specials menu and occasionally they have a seafood linguine and this time it was scallop and prawn in a lobster sauce. Exceptional. Even Jeff liked it.

My husband and I were traveling around south west England and lucked upon this wonderful B&B;.

Ci siamo stati a cena una sera in queste vacanze.

excellent accommodation and the food was also excellent. Will definitely go again. Easy to drive around Devon and Cornwall from the Crooked Inn

Thirteen of us went for an evening meal, the meals ranged from fish to steak to vegetarian etc. Though there was a delay, all the meals were freshly cooked and we had no complaints. Can definitely recommend eating here. Nice food, freshly cooked.

Beautiful setting, you have to drive in woods for a bit to get to this place. Large car park available. The place is dog friendly inside and outside the restaurant. The restaurant/pub is actually a hotel however there were lots of locals enjoying great food as well as holiday makers.

Have visited this pub a few times over the years. Always been good quality food. It is handily situated a few miles into Cornwall down a narrow drive off the main road.

I came to the Crooked Inn with my family on a sunday afternoon. We booked a table but decided we wanted to sit outside & the staff were more than fine with it. The park is lovely for children to run around in, with geese/ducks running around. Prices were a little more than your average pub grub but the food itself & service was fantastic. Massive portions though, we had starters as well as mains but think next time we’d just go for the main as we couldnt manage it all. Amazing fish & chips. Good value for money. Cant wait to visit again soon.

The staff are welcoming, the food is lovely with great variety. Prices do range from £8- £22 for a main. Great selection and nice specials. Beautiful looking pub, lovely inside and outside dinning. They do also have rooms for the night. Plenty of parking. Just a little hard to find the first time as it is down a long driveway which looks like a private road. Certainly worth the venture!

I always think under new management signs are hardly a recommendation. They usually mean a business isn’t doing too well and someone new, who isn’t doing too well where they are, has been brought in to “try something else”.

I stayed overnight for business, and was warmly welcomed. My room was large and cosy, with tea/coffee/fresh milk available and lots of storage space. Bathroom a little on the small side but perfectly acceptable and very clean.

Stopped here on the way home from a long day out. Been here many times before and it never disappoints. The service is always excellent, food served quickly and reasonably priced.

Very nice location, spacious and friendly. Food was tasty, but felt the bar drinks were overpriced (perhaps I’m out of touch!) One large glass wine, one small wine and soda, one large coke - £15.

We were lucky enough to come here on a gorgeous afternoon, we sat outside in the courtyard for lunch which was lovely. Food came very quickly after ordering at the bar, good value for money but be aware they are massive portions (couldn’t finish all of it). Food was really nice and would definitely return here. Loads of vegetarian options also.

The worst carvery I’ve ever had. The beef was so fatty and the potatoes were deep fried and not roasted. Very poor choice of veg. Very expensive !!

Took my mother (85) for a lunchtime treat. Very clean,nicely decorated establishment. Open log fire, ideal, damp cold outside, spacious seating areas. A large conservatory area, light and bright,with plants, with views across countryside. There are ducks, geese and other natural wildlife around the outside areas, a good children's area, when dry, outside. Plenty of outdoor seating aswell. We ordered a homemade lasagne , which my mother thoroughly enjoyed and a gammon with all the trimmings. It was served fairly quickly, hot and fresh. A nice touch with the gammon was the slice of fresh pineapple and real potato chips, see pics. There is an upstairs area also for eating, a comprehensive menu at lunchtime, we arrived early and by the time we left I would say half full or more, a good sign. Staff very pleasant, will definitely return soon to try the other delights on the specials board.

We stayed for two nights just before last Christmas (apologies for late review) and with my wife and daughter shared the family room. This was very clean, spacious and comfortable and a very reasonable price with superb breakfasts. We ate there both evenings and every item we tried was excellent. Staff (and the owners' dogs) couldn't have been more friendly or welcoming. This was our third stay here and it will be our regular annual pre-Christmas treat. Cannot recommend the pub and its warm atmosphere too highly. PS if you like plastic pubs this is not for you - this is a taste of English service as it used to be!

We had a lovely meal this evening. My husband and I both enjoyed our meals. I chose from the specials board and had a beautifully cooked roast duck with roast veg and sauté potatoes. My husband chose the full rack of ribs. Don’t know how he finished it. The plate was huge! We both had sweets, me the chocolate fudge cake and him, the apple crumble. Both were gorgeous. Highly recommend and will definitely go again. Lovely open fire blazing away on a really cold night

Had a very nice lunch here on New Year's Eve with my wife and two boys (12 and 14). It's a warm and welcoming pub with very friendly staff. Food was good, especially the mackerel which was very well cooked. Dog friendly and caters for those who are gluten intolerant.

Good menu variety and good quality food. Cosy pub with an open fire and child friendly. Can leave a card with the bar and run a tab as well whch was nice. Will return soon as the sandwich today was very good and the prawn filling was very generous.

Set in lovely countryside with geese and ducks wondering freely. The pub is lovely inside. The menu has a good choice of meals and there is specials board and a carvery on Sundays. The food was very good and well presented. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. All in all a very good experience

Very unprofecional. If you are looking to get a job there.think twice. Time waisters. And you will probably be a free hand for them for a few hours. You have been warned. They should learn to communicate.

Two of us had the stew which was very poor value .....little or no meat and small portion served in a soup bowl. In fact we both agreed that there would have been much more content in a can of soup! On reflection we should have complained and reordered something different. Overall, very disappointing experience given the picturesque setting and good real ale.

Suggest getting a calculator for by the till. We paid thought we were overcharged. Came back for a receipt or itemized bill did not have one. Although the same lady charging us as the one who had made our drinks. She was unaware of what we had ordered. Saying we had double the drinks we had actually received. Although this did not tally up with the amount we were overcharged. Food was not hot either. What a shame. Good thing was the fire

We live not far from the pub but my parents stay there whilst visiting us. Always very friendly, helpful staff. Since their last visit my mom's health has deteriorated and she is now registered disabled, one of staff this weekend has gone out of his way to help her and be more accommodating (Thanks Frank)

2 visits in 5 weeks and the service is no better.

Went there for a carvery with couple of my mates as we had been recommended to try it by some other friends, the carvery looked well presented but the only good thing about it was the spuds and the gravy, very bland vegetables! Parsnips was like chewing sticks. Yorkshire puddings was like the tongue of me work boots! Meat wasn't cooked to how I would of preferred... we got bad vibes from the chef,he wasnt veey polite at all! We will not be returning again too eat, disappointment really we left feeling mugged off! Shame as it could be a decent diner....

Booked to have a meal and a catch up with friends , first time for me at the pub even though I work and keep my horses in the area , very busy so best to book a table , food was lovely , desert choice was limited so went without though I was full so wasn’t too bothered about this , they forgot our tea and coffee but apologised and I’m guessing a manager came over with them and apologised again and deducted it from our bill, would happily go back , friendly staff , this is a country pub if you go there and look for faults like cob webs etc then yes you will probably find some , but if you want a nice pub , food and good view then this is perfect

Spent the afternoon looking for a decent dog friendly restaurant, after visiting two others in the area came across this one. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, the meals were of a good standard and we did not have to wait too long. Went back a couple of times during our stay in Notterbridge and have to say on each visit the food was consistently good.

The service here is poor, you can only order exactly what is on the menu as the meals are prepared with exact measures, so don't go being awkward asking for a different type of potatoes! 'Your choice of potatoes ' on the menu only only extends to chips or new. The food was just satisfactory and the feeling I got from the staff was that they didn't really care.

Met up with family on Saturday evening at the Crooked Inn as the location was good as some of us live in Plymouth and others in Saltash and St Austell.

Having spent the day at mount Edgcumbe country house and estate and having to look for the nearest supermarket we travelled to Waitrose in Saltash. From there we wanted to have our evening meal and the app directed is to the Crooked Inn. The Inn seed to be well hidden and quite off the beaten track but we found a very warm welcome there an an excellent dinner. I enjoyed duck leg with plum sauce.

Came here with a friend and her baby, we sat outside as it was a nice day. Plenty of play equipment for children and benches outside to enjoy the sunshine. Also a really nice conservatory area if you prefer to be indoors. The lunch menu was a bit restricted and they had run out of most of it, but the food we ordered was well presented and delicious.

Four of us went for a meal. We were greeted by a man with a face like a kite! Two people ordered risotto, when it came the middle was hot, around the edges were warm! One had scampi tails, 6 tiny finger sized tails, a few chips in a tiny metal basket and a tiny bit of lettuce and tomato all served on a dirty board.The other meal was steak, it was served with a few chips in the metal basket, half a mushroom, the smallest portion of peas and a tiny bit of lettuce and tomato. Again served on a dirty board! We told the waiter our issues.....no response what so ever! We left feeling hungry and ripped off! We will never return again, there are far better places around.

Unfortunately the food was not to our liking, dry and looked unappetising. Staff very friendly and most concerned that we didn't eat our meals. Perhaps it was just us, but eating off wooden boards should be outlawed.

A group of us stopped by whilst on a sponsored walk from Saltash to Liskeard, we emailed a couple of times to check it would be ok as we were a large group and they emailed back they would love us to stop by, but when we arrived the bar lady was rude and treated us like we were a hindrance!! everyone in our group (25 of us) all had at least 1 drink and some sort of food - most pubs would have been glad of the extra revenue

Venue is in the countryside, and beautiful out look.

Another lovely Sunday Lunch at The Crooked Inn. The restaurant was very busy but service wasnt a problem. Very good choice of veg with the 3 carved meats on offer. The portions are very generous and all the food is very tasty and well cooked.

Whether you order scallops , pork chop or a tandoori chicken salad the meals are well presented and very tasty. This must account for its popularity even on a Monday evening.

Called in for evening meal and wow, were we surprised. The chef recommended scallops which were served with pasta. It was absolutely delicious.

Barman was very polite amd friendly...food well if you like the burnt crispy bits from the bottom of a fryer as your "chips" and a wooden chopping board that has seen better days then "ok" is far as it goes.

Has always been a favourite place to eat, however on the last few occasions have found the meals to be decidedly average. Another place that a pile of leaves and 2 small wedges of tomato = salad, have had a better garnish.Despite this am loath to not carry on visiting as the staff and surroundings are lovely.
