Devonport Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

If you’re going around Kingsand or stay nearby, you must at least visit this historic pub. We had cornish pastries which were very lovely and massive as well as some drinks. The place was very beautiful as the pub is seafront. We went there when it was raining quite heavily and windy but i bet that it would be very nice when it’s summer or spring.

We had a lovely meal. Great coffee. Lovely friendly attentive service. Sea view and warm and welcoming.

A little gem of a pub Good beer and lovely food 😋

Menu looked good, but only went for a drink.

The Devonport Inn on the Cleave has a unique position in this historic, charming and traffic free Cornish village yards from the small beach that looks out across the Rame peninsular. On a sunny day one can sit out, eat well at great value from the pub restaurant or sample local real ales and fine wines from the bar. Try one of our light, hand baked Cornish pasties and a pint of local beer or fresh.Local Seafood is our speciality such as Lobster, potted crab, Moules Marinieres, or river Exe oysters accompanied with a glass of Cremant or chilled white wine. DOG FRIENDLY We are very dog friendly and our four legged friends are welcome (with an attached, well behaved human) throughout the pub. If our floors are too hard ask to borrow one of our doggie blankies, we also have treats on the bar that you can help yourself too. GLUTEN FREE With the owner being Coeliac we understand how hard it can be to eat out safely. Most of our menu is gluten free or can be adapted to suit.

Always nice to visit for a drink in the winter. The open fire makes it my place to pop in whilst walking in the area.

Had never heard of this place before, but we will definitely be returning. We were a party of ten that was difficult to squeeze in and had several different dietary requirements. The staff couldn’t have been nicer, very accommodating, polite and friendly. There was a very local, friendly vibe. Very cosy with cute twinkle lights. The food was absolutely delicious. The vegan risotto was the best Iv had, and the gluten free vegan nut roast was the best gran had ever tasted. Everyone was very happy

Food and drink 🍸 is a must here. Was so nice to be busy

Fabulous ... no more to say nor needed.

Visiting friends in Cawsand and we went here for a drink one night and some food & drink the second night. They have a fantastic Real Ale- Legend. One of the best that I've tasted, ever!. The second night I had the Stargazy Pie - I love fish and can't believe that I've never had this before. DELICIOUS. The staff are all amazing and the pub has a great atmosphere with the locals.

Great food,great service, lovely atmosphere,and very good prices,we would highly recommend The Devonport.

Had a drink here out in the sunshine stood outside with the entire population of the village it would appear! Staff were friendly and service was fast. Not the biggest range of cider available which was a shame.

We stayed for a week in Cawsand and while we tried several places during that time the two evenings we ate here were the best meals of the trip. Really welcoming people and lovely friendly staff. The fish was superb as well as the risotto and although we didn’t need dessert the crumble was too good to miss. Not a large number of tables so probably advisable to make reservations

I’ve been going to the Devonport for three or four years now and every time it just seems to get better. Their seafood is to die for and it’s all relatively reasonably priced. Good drink selection and helpful friendly staff. Can we just have some more tables please! Make sure you book or you will be disappointed!

Fabulous gf food, lovely stools on the front with a sea view. Well kept beer.

Great place to either have a drink overlooking the sea or have a bite to eat. The food here is excellent!

Great beer and what a fantastic location.

Amazing fish and chips! Lots of allergy friendly food. Can sit and look at the sea front outside or inside snug pub. Gets quite busy!

This is a great little pub with a stunning view, a lovely spot to have a drink and a chat with friends, which is what a pub is all about. With limited space both inside and out at the height of the season it gets extremely busy. So if you want a table for food definitely book. When we went for a drink we were lucky enough to get four metal stools to sit on to look out to sea and enjoy the balmy evening and the seaside atmosphere. It's the pubs position that makes this pub. I would recommend going any time out of season.

They were fully booked for food but agreed to accommodate us if we were happy to sit at the bar. The mirror behind the bar gives a lovely reflective view of the sea...We had good food and a lovely ale. Staff efficient and friendly.

I really like The Devonport Inn. Great place and ideally situated at the sea front. You can also sit out the front and contemplate life. I just wish the staff would smile a bit. I know they’re busy and deal with the public mainly on holiday. It seems as if they were told it’s their last shift! Other places manage to serve with a smile! I’d also say the food was a little pricey especially for melted cheese and bread, just saying😊

Great to meet up with my son and his family whilst they were holidaying her.

Arrived too late for dinner but thy squeezed us in for dessert orders. The ultimate brownie and really kind people x

Stopped here after walking along the coast path. We had a delicious cream tea with warm scones, jam and cream. My son had a huge steak pasty which smelt amazing and he said was really good. Staff were friendly and the pub was busy and full of life.

Great pub perched right above the beach. Great Mussels and cold beer with a beautiful view of Plymouth sound.

This place provided quality food and great service. The atmosphere was great and the staff were both friendly and informative in respect of the menu and specials! The prices were reasonable as well.

Sat outside in the sunshine. Had a well poured pint of Guinness and opted for the fish and chips, which was the best I've had in ages. We didn't have to wait long for the meal and the service was great.

Cracking pub with great views... and with well looked after cask beer!

Great food and service thanks 👍

Fantastic food, gorgeous location too. Would definitely recommend booking (we did so a week in advance) as they were fully booked on the night we went. I had the bream, my partner had the lobster. Both delish, with beef dripping chips which were insane. Great service and would definitely go back.

Great food and wide selection of beers, ciders and wines. Unfortunately we were too hungry to photograph our food (mussels provencale with beef dripping chips and belly pork) so just some drinks, excellent rose peach sangria and cointreau coffee.

Good food and beer friendly service, fantastic veiws

Had an amazing tasty Sunday roast beef lunch here . Lemon meringue ice cream to die for ! Child and dog friendly .Lovely atmosphere and staff. Thank you all

Had a lovely day out. Court the ferry from Plymouth to Cawsand. Had a walk around the a light lunch at The Devonport Inn..service was great. Food excellent. We had the small fish and chips, one mush peas/ one garden peas. Only thing was we didn't read the blackboard correctly.. Small fish and chips. £8.50p But the peas was extra £2.50p. Each mushy and garden peas. We went inside to eat as The seagulls were flying down and taking The pasty's out of people 's hands. The day was perfect..The young man on the ferry was brilliant with everyone.

Great food and ale overlooking the sea

Great location, friendly service, nice to have a pint of cider, do a sea swim, then scoff a tasty pasty on the beach before a seagull mugs you! 👌

Great food selection, cooked beautifully and served with a good selection of wines.

Great spot, really good haddock and chips with a pint of Rattler. Nice friendly staff and prompt service.

Great location in a great village. Good selection of drinks, we stood outside looking out over the water, watching the boats. You can choose between glass or plastic cups, so you can take your drinks safely onto the beach. Friendly staff and locals, the food looked good but we didn't eat. Great atmosphere, mixture of adults and families, dog friendly.

We went here for dinner and came back the following day for lunch since we had such a lovely time. Nice local vibe and delicious food, with beautiful views of the water if you're sitting outside. Luckily they were serving food at around 8:30pm when we arrived (which can be late in some places!). Very dog friendly, as any place in the area.

We had two meals in the Devonport over a weekend in June….this is a wonderful location and both times we had great food and excellent service

It's a lovely pub on a sunny day. Very good food, nice place to walk to from Maker Church. Great views out to sea.

Great food and great location 👍

Great Gluten Free fish and chips.

We had coffee, and it was very good!! Staff were friendly. You can sit in or outside. Beautiful place, but today was sunny and nice, so we sat outside! The view is just breathtaking. Highly recommend.

First class in every respect - friendly staff - superb food and world class location right on the beach.👌

Had a lovely pint of Legend! Wasn't a great welcome and dog wasn't really welcomed? A lovely pub

If you like to sit outside,have a drink or eat with the sight of the Cornish coast just a few feet away,this is the place for you! Personally I love it.

Wonderful fish, chips and starter. Staff are very approachable and knowledgeable about the area. Recommended some great countryside walks. Spotless throughout, big fireplace in the corner. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Love this waterfront pub. I had the most delicious pasty I have ever tasted, beautifully moist inside, almost like a cross between a pasty and a pie. Views are wonderful and staff so friendly.

Stopped for a quick half. Really friendly service, it looked cosy, and I'd eat here in the future. The outside seating looked great for a summers day as it overlooked the lovely beach.

Love this pub. We visit 2-3 tines a year. Lovely pub with outside seating looking over the sea. Great choice of drinks. Valentine's menu was very nice.

Visited on a busy Saturday,we had the fish and chips,they were amazing! Compliments to the chef. The two gentlemen serving were amazing too,great service. We shall definitely be visiting again.

We have been to this pub many times, sometimes we walk from Mount Edgecombe and sometimes we drive. The food is great and there are a lot of Gluten Free Options and they are listed on the menu which for me is brilliant as most of the time you tend to feel like an after thought, as in most places they can’t be bothered to put it on the menu and you have to ask. We have no hesitation in returning to this pub.

What a treat! When you walk in you see the Chalk Board with a fantastic array of the pub's food offerings including the specials for the day. Taste buds alerted you move to the bar with a selection of real ale and ciders along with other options if the first two drink categories don't float your boat. We had booked a table inside but we couldn't get over how many people and dogs were sitting outside on wood stools overlooking the beach drinking a pint accompanied by a DA Cornish Pasty! The food was fantastic! For starters, my son and I did a deal to share a DA Pasty and the most fantastic Moules "Tom Yum" (lemongrass, chilli, galangal, lime) with homemade sourdough bread! The mains were fantastic too. The butcher’s pork sausages, mashed potatoes, onion gravy, and beer-battered Cornish haddock with ‘proper’ triple-cooked beef dripping chips went down well with the younger members of the party. Myy wife and I had different fish specials - Skate Wings with the triple-cooked chips and Hake with Coconut Rice respectively. I sampled all 3 types of fish but the orientla-inspired Hake was superb! As usual, I still found enough room for their melt-in-the-middle chocolate desert with homemade white chocolate ice cream. The rest of the party ate different combinations of the ice-cream. The day before visiting the local dog walkers had all created the Devonshire Arms as the best eaterie in the area. I'm sure I'd find it hard to find better!

Probably top 10 pub in the country

Lovely little pub, sea views, friendly staff, great food , definitely recommend a visit

Returned to the Devonport on a winter visit to Kingsand. Staff and customers were as friendly as ever and the food was great. I had braised beef and Mrs D had a soup of the day to start before having an afternoon tea with Prosecco. All was top quality; the beef was ‘melt in the mouth ‘ and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. Loved it.

Have Ryan make you a gin martini. We had great fun.

Absolutely delicious! Enjoyed a Sunday lunch here - beautifully cooked local fish, lush fish and chips and delicious pigeon. Fab deserts too. Super friendly staff, and a beautiful sea view. Highly recommended and we’ll be back for sure!

Great place for food.and very friendly staff

The best mussels outside Brussels. Cannot fault the food, service or atmosphere. Special thanks to Ethan, Ryan and Azure who made our lunch such a special occasion.

I'm wondering whether we just caught this place on an off night based on the other reviews! We attended as a couple on a Sunday in October for an early dinner sitting. The good, the atmosphere of the pub is nice. The food we found to be fairly basic, whilst perhaps better than the other pubs directly in Kingsand we didn't find it to be anything special. The prices charged suggested that it'd be a nicer meal than what we received which was a real shame. There were only two servers on, they seemed rushed and didn't have time to put any care into what they were doing, we ate and left as quickly as we could. Three stars from us, as it is just that, fine, or at least it was on a Sunday evening in October.

Food lovely and friendly staff!!!

I took my little girl here on Saturday, the staff are very friendly and will always try to help. Their mackerel sashimi is the best I've had and I always look forward to it when visiting Kingsand. The children's menu has a great selection of homemade options. The pub is lovely and has a great atmosphere.

Delicious food and very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely worth visiting.

Had a great meal at The Devonport Inn on their reopening night after their annual break. Food was way above your normal pub grub and will definitely be back soon. The only slight downside to the evening was watching the young waiter brush back his floppy hair every 30 seconds which is probably a trait to which he is probably not aware of but really not acceptable when serving food and drink. Apart from that we had a very memorable evening and enjoyed having some banter with some locals

A hidden treasure. Lovely food, great service , very attentive staff and great views of the estuary. Recommended

The restaurant is packed during lunchtime, so make sure you call them first to book a table. The food was great. No complaints at all. We had some wine, a dover sole, moules, and ice cream. The only downside is there’s no wi-fi signal inside.

A lovely gorgeous spot to eat. Book early for inside though. We didn't and its first come first serve with the out side seats. We managed to grab one and I have to say eating outside was better. Just see the pictures

Lovely pint of Korev after a lovely long walk..

A truly awesome pub. Great food and fantastic service. Outside seating, looking over the beach and the bay. Fantastic. Doesn't get much better!

Had a great seafood lunch with the children a few weeks ago. Some great fresh mackerel sashimi and a whole crab cracked and demolished by all of us. Great relaxed atmosphere, stunning view and excellent food at a good price. Highly recommend food and the rum old fashioned was a beast too!

Had the sea bream from the specials board and my husband had the sausages mash and onion gravy and we shared some of their triple cooked chips fried in beef dripping, which were amazing dipped in his gravy! The bream came with roasted new potatoes, runner beans and a sauce vierge. I really don't like olives but the sauce was amazing and I eat forkful after forkful of it on its own, it was absolutely stunning!!! The sausages were great too, from a local butchers who I can highly recommend. For around £40( which includes a pint each!) we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and are lucky to live just a few miles from here so are already planning to return next weekend for the bank holiday!!! Highly recommend trying here, oh, and the view is just as stunning as the food! ❣️

Excellent food and drinks with friendly, efficient service. A stylishly updated old pub that is still full of character.

Very tasty food, perfect drink selection, again at any time!

Food fantastic service brilliant will go again when down your way again

Charming restaurant by the ocean. Tasty cuisine and friendly atmosphere Magnificent view of the bay

Lovely beer and cider with a great view over the beach.

Amazing pub. I have been here numerous times throughout the seasons and never fails to disappoint. The food here is amazing you have to try the arancini, the muscles, the sticky toffee pudding and everything else🤣. Perfect setting for some great food and drinks.

Just stopped off for a drink ..food looked good though! Great views overlooking the beach...doggie friendly! Lovely pub x

What a fantastic setting! Dog friendly, child friendly, lovely food, and a friendly team. It's right above the beach, and a short walk from the pay & display car park. I recommend calling ahead to book a table.

Two of us had sea bass - the portions were very small - not a full meal. Earlier in our stay the portions were OK

Great pub, staff friendly & good beers

The Devonport Inn is a very popular harbourside pub with excellent food. It is also very dog friendly - a big plus! We both had sea bream for the main course, complemented by new potatoes, cherry tomatoes, broccoli and a tasty sauce. We both scored it a high 9 out of 10. For dessert I had the best tarte tartin I have ever had - a certain 10. My wife’s pavlova deserved a 7. Both young waiters were pleasant and helpful and contributed to a great meal. Bookings are essential. Full marks to all the staff at the Devonport for a great food experience - both front of house and in the kitchen.

Great restaurant overlooking the sea. Best fish and chips ever!! Pork chop was fabulous too!! Good service - highly recommend this restaurant

We had a really delicious lunch here, started with halloumi and roasted cauliflower tacos, followed by sirloin of beef and a very tasty Yorkshire pudding. The vegetables we cooked perfectly as was the gravy, we were so full but managed a couple of scoops of homemade ice cream. The pub was friendly and full, best make a reservation , you still outside enjoying the sunshine but can’t book a table outside. Would definitely recommend going to The Devonport Inn.

What a lovely pub! The food was outstanding and so tasty! I am gluten free and the options are endless which is always fantastic! Lots of local fresh options too! Lunch time is from 12-2:30pm and we arrived for lunch at 2:15pm and were still accommodated. Service was good and the atmosphere is great. Overall I really recommend a visit this lovely local pub for tasty food, coastal atonischere and friendly staff. Do be aware that food is served 12-2:30pm then 6pm-9pm so don’t get caught out!

Perfect spot for a pint by the water. They'll even do you take out chips to eat on the beach. Our favourite place in Kingsand.

Great place to have a drink or three 😃 inside or outside fantastically situated to soak up the beautiful views of the bay and friendly atmosphere of this beatiful cornish village. Well worth a visit.

Food is great, the beer is good and the view is hard to beat

Partner swears it was the best fish ever. Ever. Just book early, as the secret is out.

Amazing food served lunch time and evening. Barman Able to discuss wines, spirits and cocktails and prices are not expensive. Fresh seafood and more unusual dishes too. We wish we had discovered thus earlier as this was our last day.

Lovely little pub with masses of character ! Though I wouldn't like to be in there when the weather's really bad as the waves crash right up to the door 😄

Lovely place to just sit and enjoy overlooking the beach, lovely area to visit just loved the fibe

Really good food, nice selection of ales. Good view.

wonderfully cooked food ,stunning

Perfect location and friendly staff.

excellent all round. Very helpful staff.

Great place Friendly staff Delicious food What a view
