Duke of Cornwall in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Very friendly staff that made us feel very welcome. Food was lovely and served quickly. Great menu choices

This was my first and last visit! Ashtrays floating with rain water full of fag butts. Not a large garden as stated on the sign outside. No atmosphere. Only reason we went was because it was in walking distance.

My partner and I stayed over night here as we were with the county darts team. Lovely friendly staff, good food, massive room (7) with an enormous en-suite which was very clean and tidy. Allowed us to leave our car in the car park before and after checking in/out. Good location and good value for money. If you’re looking for a quiet night away try not to book when they have live music but that didn’t bother us. Definitely stay again

Absolutely terrible. Visited to listen to live band . Trouble with one of the locals went to fight with my partner staff allowed the person back in the pub. Bar staff sided with the local as they would. If your face fits fine if it doesn't my gosh! !! And drinks overly priced as pub us dismal

No flexibility with breakfast times being earlier. Told that 8.30 am was the earliest time for breakfast which didn't help as we needed to be working at 08.00 am.

As titled. Good beer on tap, great crowd of locals. It's gotta a decent pool table if thats for you. Hopefully the nice barmaid will still be working on my return ;-)

Judge mental from the look off u called me a smack head and kicked me out for no reason because ov the way I look don't judge a book by its cover I'll never go there again thay r so wrong and out ov order

A very friendly place to stay was made to feel welcome not just by owners but the locals was very friendly the twin bedroom was purfect cooked breakfast extremely worth having will definitely be going back good value for money per night I am disabled the staff was fantastic with helping me can't find any negative think about the hotel

For a small pub the food was very good. Selection of Turkey or Beef with a good selection of vegetables and plenty of it. The service was fast and the food was hot. Several puddings available also. We paid just under £10 each but would have been quite happy to pay more.

We were given a warm welcome and we had the option of sitting wherever we liked. The Ales were first class and the food we ordered was delivered in a reaonable time. The this was as good as the ales and the bill was sensible and reasonable. We will revisit.

We were driving through St Austell looking for somewhere for a quick lunch, we decided to stop at the Duke of Cornwall. Staff were very welcoming, the pub and a lovely friendly feel to it. We ordered the Sunday lunch which arrived quickly. The chicken and beef were cooked lovely, fresh veg etc. Bar, facilities etc clean and comfy. If you want a value fir money Sunday lunch then try out the D of C

We wanted to eat out on Christmas Eve, and, as I'm gluten free, choices in St Austell are limited. However, our first choice, the Duke of Cornwall, was able to accommodate us. We were a group of 12, and the Christmas menu was wonderful! Huge portions, well cooked, and great tasting, and nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait to go back!

New chef, great food. We now come regular when we can. Does a great gluten free range if you ask. We eat out a lot and this has been our favourite since the new chef. The food has been excellent and the service great. We always look forward to the next meal.

Well done to the Duke of Cornwall and to the wonderful chef and staff. On visiting for our Sunday lunch on the 9th of October 2016 we were greeted by the chef never before anywhere have we had such a warm welcome. Talking to some of the locals who come often their they say "Your in for a great treat". I must say nothing wasn't to much trouble for the chef and it was a very busy Sunday carvery 1 of us opted out of having a carvery. This was no trouble for the chef he came up with another option which was delicious and he put himself out to do this. I call this exceptional. The Sunday carvery was a truly cooked to pefection there were plenty on the plates. It was just like how we cook at home. I'm so pleased that we came to visit the Duke of Cornwall our return visit we shall sure to have another visit.

You don't have to pay 5* hotel prices to enjoy a welcome at reception, a comfortable smart LARGE room and good pub fare to make your overnight stop memorable. Try the Duke of Cornwall and you will see what I mean !

Really nice pub, friendly welcome from the landlords, good service and get fish and chips for lunch - bargain at 2 for £10. Pub split into different areas with eating area and beer garden. Good parking.

A lovely pub with a good selection of beers and great food served in a separate restaurant seating area. Beer garden too.

Este es un gran lugar para beber y comer, la comida es excelente y a un precio razonable. La camarera es genial y puede recordar lo que disfrutar de beber incluso después de una ausencia de seis meses. Un ambiente acogedor.

Stayed at the Duke over Easter period with my wife Gill and found the stay very enjoyable, staff friendly and food nice.Breakfast for me was a full English which kept me going for the rest of the day.Room 4 was just right for me and Gill only problem was the windows rattling (old wooden frames) due to strong winds but sorted that with some leaflets put in between the windows.Over all enjoyed are stay.Karaoke on Friday and live bands some Saturdays didn't bother us to much but if you go to bed early could keep you awake.

Not good. Booked table for 11, given a table for 10 with an extra on the end to squash up and be cramped. No glasses with our cans of drink offered. Gravy thicker than I've ever seen gravy. Friendly waitress. They halved a pudding to offer 2 puddings when it should have been one to get 2 portions out of it! Nice salad but crazy dish/plate it was served in. Sticky toffee pudding completely burnt and dry, uneatable! Would never eat there again. Family of four asked for their money back rather than eat there. A disappointing meal out on such a special mothers day.

Probably one of the most under used pubs around. We visit quite often for Sunday lunch and free dessert. The food has always been excellent and would certainly recommend.

We stayed here for four nights and we enjoyed it. It has a homey feeling. The food was amazing and was cooked fresh. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis. It was just awkward for the shower to be inside the room. Overall, it was a good and nice hotel.

I hadn't visited the pub for a few years and as usual with pubs these days there had been a change of landlord. It was still a good locals pub with everyone having a good time and were friendly enough, though some of the language used was a bit choice from certain characters. The beer was well looked after and the same price as most pubs. I would visit again when in the area soon.

As local residents, we regularly use The Duke for eating out. Everything is homemade and most is cooked to order. They cater for families and is great for couples too, who want a nice relaxing evening. The atmosphere is relaxed, staff are friendly and it's definitely good value for money. ttoorders order. They cater for families

Couldn't fault the friendly staff but that's as far as it goes. The drinks are well over priced, (could have been the holiday maker effect) but worse the food is very poor. My daughter went for the "gourmet burger" and I the steak and ale pie. The burger was dry and the brioche bun was very dry. As for the steak and ale pie itvcertainly wasn't a decent piece of meat, very cheap cut probably braising steak. It was quite a while getting to the table as well. Very disappointing. Would avoid it especially if you have a party of four or more it will definitely lighten your wallet.

Sad to say that we were very much looking forward to having a romantic dinner out that night and a couple of drinks, having just moved back to Cornwall. This used to be such a great, friendly pub! We did'nt even get to order food, as we were both put off so quickly. Got to the bar, ordered drinks, and I almost immediately received unwanted remarks from some rude man at the bar (clearly a regular) - of which there were quite a few, along with a couple of women who clearly had some kind of problem. I don't expect to go into a pub that has been advertised and reviewed so positively to allow it's customers to behave in such a manner - particularly when we had our 6 year old daughter with us! Not to mention being accosted by something with heroin trackmarks, reeking of cheap white cider and trying to scrounge a drink either. The place has been decorated very nicely, but I did notice lacklustre hygiene behind the bar, and gdining area. Sadly the clientele and staff who did nothing when my husband made a quiet complaint. Used to be a great place many years ago, but has fallen short on these things. We left after half an hour, and shall not be returning.

Had a really nice stay here, the room is lovely & very clean. the food was lovely, the staff were lovely. We will come back & stay here again. The only down side for us was having to wake up Andy if we was late back. Made us feel guilty although Andy didn't seem to mind!

Really good tasty food, local produce. Excellent value, live music, we had a great time and we would thoroughly recommend it.

Menu limited for pub grub. Sat and shivered all eve. Food wasn't great, I think the oil in chip fryer needed changing !

Staff are very friendly, a real warm welcome. Menu has something to suit everyone's taste and the prices were very competitive - I was expecting an ordinary pub meal (for the price) but the food exceeded this. The meals that were ordered were clearly home made, very tasty and we left feeling full. The variety of meals available makes this a definite to visit again so that we can try some more of their stunning fare! Friends have said that the Sunday roast is to die for so we will certainly book to go there soon.

A great idea and the food was ok. If you're on a budget then this place is a your answer. The pub is split into a drinking area and the restaurant. Service was good but the one bar girl had quite a job serving the food and pulling the pints. Overall she did a great job.

I have stayed in this hotel previously and would recommend stopping again on business. The thing that stands out about this public house is the friendly welcoming owner, staff and the characters and personalities of 'the locals'. The welcome and friendliness of everyone made my visits most enjoyable the laughs and 'banter' was between everyone really made me feel at home. The restaurant was an added bonus with a large variety on the menu with special offers to tempt any hungry traveller. The food was well presented, did not have to wait ages for it to be served and cooked to perfection. I would really recommend trying this out and the almost full tables (especially on a Tuesday night support my review (I would recommend on booking before you visit) Special mention to the bar staff who verbally abused me and my business partner while we were sat in the bar before eating (in a very friendly, jokey way -you know who you are :-) )

Went to enjoy an evening meal, only to find I am lost my phone (still lost) but the staff were so helpfully in trying to sort everything out, it restore you faith in people. So a negative evening turned positive with great food and great music (every Friday night I think, check out their Facebook page) and really great customer service. I will certainly be going back.

We had arrived in st Austell, needing somewhere to eat, but not knowing the area.Found this at the end of the road from our b&b.We had 2 meals. Both pretty good, and cheesy garlic bread, which was scrummy!!It's a local boozer, but we enjoyed it!

Tried out at lunch time, food was really good, large portions - excellent value. Very few customers, when we visited this dog friendly pub.

Duke of Cornwall, nice pub as a local. It has had it' ups & downs. At one time it was a really rough joint. Over the past few years there has been a run on tenants. The food has varied over time, some good some bad. What the food is like at the present I do not know. But it is under new management again. I will try it out and hen write another review.

Lunch time carvery was lovely. Only £8.99 for adults. £6.99 for children/small appetites and a free dessert! Perfectly cooked beef or pork. Stuffing balls, crackling, yorkshires. Roast and mashed potatoes. Cauliflower cheese and 3 other veg. As dessert was free, I was expecting a small portion, but they were all generous servings with a choice of 4 sundaes, crumble, fudge cake, cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. All served with a choice of ice cream, clotted cream or custard. Service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming.

for me the three young ladies that work there absolutely outstanding the food was to die for american diner theme the giant porky burger need a big appetite to get that one down but the flavour brilliant.throoms spacious clean warm full sky tv . only down side for me a little noisy from about 6 am because located by the roadside.

great pub, catered well for 21 of us on a busy December Saturday night, friendly and welcoming staff, excellent food menu to choose from.

Arrived at 5.30pm to find the restaurant meals started at 6pm, however we were told that it was not a problem as the staff were there anyway. We bought drinks and had a browse through the extensive menu. We decided on the Texan chicken burger and the New York chicken - both with French fries. When the meals arrived we found they were very large portions which we were delighted to work our way through. Sadly I couldn't finish mine despite the fact that it was fabulously tasty and the French fries tasted so fresh. Staff very helpful and friendly so would definitely recommend going there and will be returning ourselves in the near future. Hopefully we might manage a pudding next time especially as the whole meal was at a bargain price!!

I have not been here since I was a teenager many years ago.. but took up the offer of a free lunch from my daughter (yes that long ago). The pub itself is doing an American theme with various menus offering American style food. Prices seemed very reasonable and a good selection of beers. Staff were very friendly tooI chose a hot sandwich which was loaded with steak, onions, cheese and jalapenos. There were fries on the side and all for £4.95. I must say the sandwich was fantastic. Oozing with flavour and delicious to the last bite. Filled me up all day, did not even fancy supper at home... I would have rated this experience as excellent, but the pub just seemed a little dark and cold, maybe it was the gloomy weather? I really want to try the 26oz steak, but that might be just piggish

Ordered a drink and had a look at menu. In the meantime checked out the environment. Not the cleanest of places, bar staff looked unkempt. Made a hasty retreat.

We had a meal in their amazing beer garden one evening. This was full of every imaginable plant in a tiny space and looked fantastic. Imaginatively laid out and well lit. Worth going there just to see it! The food was good and excellent value for money. It has an American bar and grill theme, with, ribs, steaks, burgers, etc. The portions were huge so we just had a starters size meal and that was plenty. We each had a half rack of ribs, sweet corn and a portion of sweet potato chips between us and that was sufficient. Service was a bit slow but it was a Saturday night and they were busy. But it had a very friendly atmosphere.

I came here for a meal on a Saturday night, and it was lovely it wasn't that loud and we sat in the bar area. The staff were lovely, they makes sure we were are alright and nothing was a problem. I definitely recommend the Southern Fried Chicken, you get a huge piece of chicken covered in light batter, it was heaven. I asked for wedges instead of fries and that wasn't a problem. If you like ice cream sundaes this is the place to come, I had a milky bar sundae, it was lovely but I just couldn't finish it. Nicest chicken ever, beats KFC by far!!! Will return

Nice welcoming town pub with an American theme inside, all very pleasant with a good range of beers on tap.

This review is based on TWO visits within one week.Visit 1:I googled somewhere nice to eat which did Vegetarian food, this popped up, the menu looked good with a veggie hot dog (they have a vast burger and dog menu) and three veggie burgers of various descriptions.We asked for a table for two, got shown to our table which is in a little area off the side of the bar, it holds about 8 tables. Having a separate eating area always gains points with me, I like to be out of the bar area if possible.Our drink order was taken and delivered, then the food order taken, I ordered the hot dog.The waitress returned to say they were out of veggie hot dogs. Not to worry then, I will have a burger.The waitress returned to say they were out of veggie burgers too.Seriously? She then brought me a lunch snack menu which had a roasted veg wrap on it. I didn't fancy this at all, so we cancelled our order (for his food) and left half our drinks (which we got charged full price for) and went elsewhere.We decided to return though as the food going out looked amazing, and you know, these things happen.Visit 2:3 days later, I try to call to see if they have the veggie options on, but kept getting the fax machine, so we thought we would take a chance. It was a Wednesday evening and the bar area was packed so solidly that it was hard to make your way through to the restaurant area. We did, eventually, and got a table, But before we sat down I asked if the veggie options were available, the waitress went off to check.No hot dogs and no burgers! BUT, she said they could "make up a burger for me if I wanted" - well, yeah, but I did ask why they couldn't do that the other night when we were in, and explained what had happened. She apologized and said she didn't know why that was said.Ok then, I was happy with that. Sat down, ordered a "Mexican" burger, with BBQ sauce, jack cheese and onion rings, but I traded the onion rings for mushrooms and traded the fries for sweet potato fries. Hubby made some adaptations to his meal too and I worried as the order was not being written down, simply remembered.During the wait, the pub quiz from the bar had overgrown and a group of people took a table in the restaurant to do the quiz. This resulted in the compare standing between the two rooms and bellowing out the questions. It was so loud and disturbing to diners.When the food arrived it came with regular fries. I questioned it and the waitress said she had forgotten to put the order through. Never mind, it's not like I don't like regular fries so I would eat them. Mistakes happen and I didn't kick up a fuss about it. (write it down!!)Then I opened my burger, it had a lot of grilled peppers in it - urgh! Still, I hadn't asked for no peppers (even though there was none listed on the menu) so I picked them off. The next layer was mushrooms with melty jack cheese - yum. I put the lid back on and took a bite.Hubby then asked how my burger tasted.... hang on, burger? I opened the bun again to find NO BURGER. Just mushrooms and cheese. Where was my burger.There was no satisfaction check done and it was a complete nightmare to wade back through the pub quizzers to get to the bar, plus I actually enjoyed the food I was eating so I ate it.When the waitress returned I said, there was no burger in my bun, she said, I know, I told you we had no burgers but we could make one for you out of something else.Ok, so this could well be me misunderstanding what she said, but both myself and hubby thought when she said "we could make you one" meant that they could make me a BURGER, not just chuck the trimmings in a bun.When we came to pay I was charged full price for a veggie burger, until I said, actually I haven't had a burger, just trimmings. The bar girl then went to the kitchen and came back and knocked £2.00 off the price. Shame we had to ask!Now, if this was just a review from me it would have had one point, I gave it two because hubby had a wonderful meal, and actually the food that I ate was very very good, I would have loved to have had the whole meal as advertised though. Tips, check veggie options are available before you go, AND don't go on quiz night!

Ate as a family here. The dining room is off of the main bar and only seats around 25 people. It does feel a little as if someone has taken out the pool table and dart board and replaced them with a few tables and chairs.The portions are huge and the food is okay. We had a mixture of burgers, chicken and a steak which were all cooked well. The food is okay - not bad but not great - and it does provide good value for money if you want something cheap and cheerful.

Wow!!!! As the title says this is THE best burger I have ever had!! As well as that the staff were really really friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. We are so pleased we are going to book to come here again on Thursday!! Thank you xxx

I have visited Duke of Cornwall while visiting St. Austell. I have only tried the Nachos and the Beef Hotdog, and they were very good. Service was very good too. Recommended.

Das Easy Rider Decor ist ja nett:aber der Hammer sind die Steaks. Das Fleisch ist abgehangen, saftig, die Chips frisch und das lokale Ale ein Brüller. Wäre schön, wenn viele Pubs diese Essqualität bieten würden. Urteil: empfehlenswert!

the service and the food - pricewise it was good value- we eat like lords. everthing was freshly cooked and tasted great

I have now eaten here a number of times and must say that the burgers are the tasiest we have eaten in a long time,The variety of menus and food choices are great, and would recommend to others without a doubt.Looking forward to trying the Duke v Burger Challenge and the Stallion Steak.

We came here for tea as we were camping and the weather was bad! My boyfriend tried the Duke of Cornwall burger challenge in which he had to eat 2lb of burger chips and onion rings and he said that the burger was extremely tasty! I had honey and mustard chicken and chocolate brownie for dessert, both of which were delicious! The service was brilliant, the staff were so welcoming and chatty! The owner and chef I think was lovely, she came to speak to us and ensure that we were enjoying our meal and chatted to us about our stay! I would definitely recommend coming here for somewhere to eat, you will not be disappointed!

The Duke offers an exceptional Sunday lunch, choice of meats, proper roast potatoes, delicious gravy, tasty cauliflower cheese, and really fresh veg. The puddings are awesome- homemade and big portions. The wines are very good for a pub and there is a really good choice of draft beers. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. They have a lovely little garden area at the back.Overall the Duke is fantastic value with lovely friendly staff who can't do enough for you.

Ignore what you may have heard The Duke is lovely. you are greeted with a Warm welcome great drinks and fantastic food plenty of choice something for everyone!
