Earl of Chatham in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Such a warm inviting pub. The atmosphere here is incredible, such lovely attentive staff that go to extreme lengths to make your visit amazing. The Sunday roast is to die for delicious meat and a nice choice of veggies. Have been a handful of times and the entertainment is well enjoyed under their beautiful outside space. You will not be disappointed!

Had a fantastic Sunday Roast at this lovely pub which is full of character, friendly staff and great beer. There was even a great band playing in the covered beer garden after. Perfect 🥰

Came in for a birthday dinner treat and we was not disappointed. We both had the special Chicken bacon and macaroni cheese wrap and it was gorgeous! Total shoutout to the chef as that was definitely amazing. Great to catch up with Lisa and Ian. Great service great food and can’t wait to be back!!

Breakfast was amazing, well cooked and well presented, will definitely be back! Well done to Ian, Lisa and the team! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Lovely friendly staff make you feel really welcome,fantastic food,dog friendly great atmosphere would highly recommend 10/10

Amazing place to go with friends amazing staff and the owner was lovely to speak to. If you do come be ready to have a great time. They make you feel like you at home.

Went for Sunday lunch, turned up without booking, no fuss and no problems. Great food, great service and lovely staff. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. They prove that not all Sunday Lunches need to be a carvery.

As soon as we walked into the bar we were made to feel exceptionally welcome, with patrons chatting to us and the landlord "warning" us there was a band in that evening. That was actually the reason we were staying there! A lovely barmaid showed us to our room which was tastefully decorated and had a fridge, hairdryer and led onto a large en suite bathroom which had small bottles of shampoo etc. There was a towel in the landing to dry off any dogs that might have been staying which was a lovely touch. It is an old building so you could hear distant chatter from the bar below but it wasn't a problem for us at all. We went down and ordered dinner which was absolutely amazing. We had the medium veggie pizza, cheesy chips and garlic bread between us and just couldn’t finish it all. Their portions are enormous ... you've been warned! All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. There was a choice of Rattler cyder on tap and Cornish Tarquin gins as well as Korev Cornish lager. The band (The Claze) played out in the back courtyard which was under cover and had lots of seating, heaters and lighting. It was a great atmosphere and was the perfect setting for a gig in any weather. We preordered 2 veggie breakfasts and when we came downstairs in the morning we were delighted to see they had BT Sports on and were showing the MotoGP racing. Breakfast was again enormous and delicious and the landlord and landlady were chatty and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely pub and we will definitely be back. The room was very reasonably priced and so was the food, especially when taking into account the more than generous portions. Thank you to everyone for a truly enjoyable stay

Staying in nearby Lerryn and struggled to find a pub that could accommodate us without pre booking for a traditional Sunday roast. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions generous. Beautiful thick gravy and plentiful. I have to say I don’t think I’ve had a better Sunday lunch anywhere. Staff were very friendly.

Hi, just in Lostwithiel for a few nights, ate here on two evenings. The pizzas were delicious and huge, and I mean HUGE! The next visit we ordered a Hunter’s chicken and salmon, again very ample portions and beautifully presented. Staff couldn’t do enough for you, locals in the bar, all very friendly when entered and left, all in all, a ‘proper job’ definitely recommend 😃👍

Went here for Sunday dinner. Lovely ambiance, friendly staff, food great. Not so good the supposed to be chilled out after dinner drink in the garden. To our amazement there were drunk people all of whom knew each other shouting and swearing across the tables. The waitress came out and we thought she was going to shut them up. No. She sat down and joined in with them. Never ever again. We had our 11 year old granddaughter with us and that was truly out of order. We up and left.

Booked a last minute room and arrived to a ery friendly welcome.. the owners will do anything for you .. lunch and dinner was lovely , breakfast was lovely .. a lovely place to stay in a lovely quiet village..

Our family wanted to order some food as advertised on the menus. This was at 7.45pm. The kitchens were open until 9. We were told that the kitchen were busy and that they would be unable to cook for us. We only wanted two pizzas. I asked if we could order a delivery from elsewhere, but was told we could only do that when the kitchen closed. Others trying to order were equally bemused, disappointed, and hungry. The Blondie tribute band were good, particularly in the instrumentals. I would go there again but I'd bring a packed lunch.

Real charm and great food, service and local atmosphere - friendly little place out of town and a happy place

Absolutely delicious roast beef meal and accompanying veg for our family of 4 and the waitress was so personable my daughter, who works in hospitality management, nearly offered her a job! This would have been a 5 star review except that the veg dishes which came were very likely designed to be shared by 2 people but we found ourselves having to take quite small helpings of each to make sure we all got some

We had two meals At the pub , the food was amazing and the staff were so lovely and helpful, such good value for money, will definitely be going bk in may

We were a bit sceptical about this place having read some of the reviews, but the young guy behind the bar was friendly and the food was swiftly delivered and tasty. Small selection of ales but overall, not bad at all for quick pub grub.

We always pay a visit here for a meal when we are in Lostwithiel and have never been disappointed before. Sadly, tonight was an exception. We booked for 7.30 and the lounge was empty. We ordered our food and drinks. The drinks arrived promptly but we waited over an hour for our food. We asked at the bar how much longer it would be and we were told they had a large party in the restaurant and the chef was cooking their food. Eventually, our food came out and my food was delicious. Unfortunately, my partners veggie burger was so awful he sent it back. Consequently when the second burger arrived I had eaten my meal. Plus the second burger was as bad as the first one. I felt so sorry for two lovely ladies serving and waitressing who took the brunt of the complaint, it wasn't their fault. No sign of the chef though. We weren't charged for the burger or a round of drinks. But, unfortunately our evening was spoiled. Plus, if we had been told there was going to be a long wait at 7.30 we could have eaten elsewhere.

Took four friends last Wednesday. AJ the chef, Lola the waitress & Chrissy? Greeted us warmly. Food was stunning, local homemade & proper, the steak and ale pie is to die for, the pizza was massive succulent and delicious… in fact we all loved it, one of our friends is in hospitality…she said it was one of the best pub dining experiences she has ever enjoyed. We live just up the road, we have stayed low due to Covid but this place took Covid safety seriously…. We will be back again and soon. Thanks guys xx

Lots of swearing when we walked in. Two very drunk loud men. People had left complaining about food - the waitress thought it was hilarious and told one of the drunk men! Waitress dressed inappropriately. Third visit - each time the same - this time the last. The clientele used to be good back in early 2020 (previous owners) now lots of the people who frequent it are drunk loud and it’s not nice to hear f_____ every second word.

walked down from perigrin hall where we are staying friendly staff they have said we, were welcome to park in there carpark if we decided to travel by train to the coast etc we thought that was, really kind of them we, have booked a table for a meal in a couple of days time highly recommended

Great welcome from Jess. Stayed for 4 nights with our dog. Room clean and comfortable. Bar staff really friendly. Food very good. We will see you next year.

Came here for some dinner. I had the veggie burger which was lovely but didn’t blow my mind. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Visited for my friends birthday, ignored upon entry obviously the lady behind the bar didn’t want to be at work ! No chat, no atmosphere, dull food, friendly young waitress though . Live locally but shan’t return unfortunately.

The food was totally bland, tasteless without any seasoning or care. The waitress kept making errors. The new management of the place is a total disappointment, I used to be a regular and won't ever set foot in the place again

Nice enough place and our kids loved the food, but the adults food was mediocre at best. The staff were all very nice so we would maybe give it a second chance.

This was without exaggeration the most unimaginative, utterly boring meal I have ever had. It seemed that they have no conception of the idea that their menu should be an expression of creative ability and a culinary celebration. If they consider this review from a...

Fantastic pub, amazing food and friendly owners who helped us by rocking our 8 Month old baby to sleep whilst we ate- we were very grateful! Highly recommend for a lovely evening.

Great meal and very attentive staff. It was the first time we’d eaten out since COVID but all felt safe in this pub and it was well worth the visit.

Came for our first Sunday roast at the Earl of Chatham and I would definitely recommend to everyone, the food was the best Sunday roast we’ve tasted eating out, lots of flavours!The atmosphere was lovely and the staff are wonderful.Please definitely go and try out the food you will not be disappointed..

Sorry to say, was disappointed with Sunday lunch today at the Earl of Chatham. Usually it’s very much like a home cooked roast. But today was not good. 1. It was cold, the cauliflower cheese was cold and the general gravy and meat was cold. 2. The pork was tough, or the knife was not sharp?!3. No crackling4. Usually the roast potatoes are perfect. But sadly, not great today. 5. Gravy was thin and tasteless. It’s a shame as we could always ensure a good roast at the Chattham!

We enjoyed a very good meal in a warm and cosy pub atmosphere, served by pleasant staff, who weren't at all pushy. The main meals were of an excellent standard and we shared a rather large dessert!

Great evening with friends. Great food and service. Would recommend this pub to anyone. Friendly atmosphere your always welcome.

This was not our first visit to the Earl of Chatham we visited a few years ago and visited again last night for a couple of drinks and dinner. We were not disappointed the fish and chips were huge and delicious. The pub was busy but the staff were very friendly and helpful. A genuine proper pub.

We visited the Earl of Chatham whilst staying the other side of Lostwithiel. We had tried a couple of other places that were fine but underwhelming. This was a breath of fresh air. Lovely lady behind the bar who was extremely welcoming. We liked it so much we came back the next night. French onion soup was lovely. The sea bass that we both had was the nicest either of us have had. Really impressed with the quality of the food. It isn't super quick, as some have commented on, but that is clearly because it's all cooked freshly and very well. It's well worth the wait. This is the best place to eat, its cosy and welcoming, with really lovely well cooked food. Highly recommended.

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was brill , breakfast was really nice and the people were really lovely , we left on the saturday morning early so we could miss the traffic and because we missed the breakfast I'd paid for the owner said she'd make us some sandwiches for the road and they were lovely too , just a really nice gesture that not many places would of done. My lad loved it too !!

Visited the Earl of Chatham last minute decision, really glad we did. Food was excellent and such great value for money. All the starters were very good. Three had duck and dauphinois potatoes which were really super. Fish and Chips really good well cooked and Veg curry was excellent. Great find this pub. Service was very good and also very friendly. Nice to go into a pub with good service and great food. Recommend this pub to eat.

We visited the Earl of Chatham 12 days ago on a very stormy Friday night. The place was already busy, but when we rang to see if they had room, they said to come along and they'd fit us in. We are so glad they did! The food was tasty and one of the nicest meals of our holidays. It was reasonably priced and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. I had the chicken curry and I can still remember now how tasty it was. We would definitely recommend.

we were recommended the earl of chatham by a local and we weren't disappointed! we'd had lunch the day before at Rick Steins and to be honest the food was just as good (if not better) here. We both had Cod & chips and it was divine. With home made tartare sauce too! Fish was fresh, flaky and with crispy batter and the chips just as good. They make a mean G&T here as well. We were really pleased to have been recommended this lovely spot for lunch.

The Earl of Chatham (named after the late 17th century politican William Pitt the Younger) lies up from the medieval bridge on the hill at the east end of Lostwithiel, on what was once the old road to Plymouth. I've visited on numerous occasions as it has never failed to leave me with anything but a favourable impression.

We popped in for a spot of lunch I chose the homemade curry and I cant praise the chef enough, it was the best curry I have ever eaten. The service was perfect the wine delicious.

We had the pleasure of staying for 1 night on a business trip. From the outside it would be easy to drive past without noticing the hotel/pub and the ample sized car park but once you've visited you'll want to go back. The bar and dining area are spotless with low level lighting from tasteful wall lights in addition to the candle lit tables and shelves, it really is a picture, if you add that to clean, quality standard of the furnishings it must be a great local. The staircase to the rooms has new carpet and looking in general I think it's all had a refurb recently, room 3 is a fair size with comfortable twin beds and the bathroom is adequate. There's plenty of drawer space and a small flat screen TV but no wardrobe only 3 coat hangers secured to the wall, an opening window (onto the road) allows for ventilation. Staff and food here are all extremely good. Well worth a visit.

I’ve never left a review before but felt compelled to do so after my visit to the Earl of Chatham. Following local advertisements for a quiz, I called to confirm and was advised that it would start at 9.00 on Tuesday. My partner and I booked a table for food beforehand as it was most convenient and had read positive reviews. However, we arrived shortly before our booking time and we weren’t led to the table but told from the bar more or less where to sit. Our table was directly next to the ladies toilet, the door of which didn’t close so for the duration of the meal we were forced to deal with noises and smells from the toilet. We and other patrons therefore stepped up to close the toilet door throughout the evening. We waited 15 minutes to receive a menu and a table who arrived after us received theirs first. The food was average despite being fairly expensive - £15 for Chinese style sea bass and chips. Also, we were given wine glasses rather than champagne flutes for our Prosecco. This also arrived 5 minutes after our dinner. On finishing our meal, we went to sit outside and waited for the quiz to begin. We asked several times about a start time and, from being assured it would begin at 9.20, we were eventually told it wasn’t on. We are staying in Lostwithiel for a holiday and were looking forward to a good evening out. I would tell anyone to give this pub a miss and visit The Globe Inn down the road instead.

Very impressed, will recommend to anyone and everyone. Food was well priced, presented well and tasted lovely, staff very amenable

Stayed for a week with my husband and dog. Lovely place, friendly owners and staff. Freshly cooked breakfast every morning, poached eggs perfect Kate! Jackie even made us sandwiches on our last morning because we were leaving early. Will definitely return.

We stumbled across the pub whilst staying down the road. So pleased we did. A lovely homely and friendly feel with a solid local following. Enjoyed a superb Chilli one night and a delicious French onion soup on another occasion. So much better value and atmosphere than the gastro pubs in the town Recommended !! Don’t miss it!

I have to follow a gluten free, vegetarian diet and couldn't see anything suitable on the menu so I asked, at the bar, if they had any gluten free, vegetarian options. The response was 'sorry, no' and the lady turned away to serve someone else. This was, by far, the most disappointing and unhelpful experience I have had in a long, long time. It was such a shame. To all the other people, out there, who have to follow special diets, I strongly recommend The Globe and The Royal Oak pubs which are also in Lostwithiel and both served me wonderful gluten free, vegetarian meals throughout the time I spent in Lostwithiel.

Great place to eat. The menu was varied and there was a vegan menu too. Service was excellent and prices reasonable.

We have been staying in Lostwitiel for our Holiday. This is by far the best pub and has fantastic food. What a pleasure to eat here mist evening with our dog. Can't complain about anything. Staff lovely too.

This is a smashing pub, tucked away up the hill behind the railway station in Lostwithiel. We called in for a lunchtime drink and it was so welcoming and friendly we returned for an evening meal. The food was delicious and the ale was good too.

Popped in here after a dog walk & were not disappointed.

Best pub in lostwithiel by far! The locals are friendly the staff are great and very welcoming. The bar is clean warm with log fires and cosy. Will definitely return when in the area. We did not eat but the food look delicious.

Nice traditional pub which welcomes dogs. We had jacket potatoes for lunch. Good sized and good quantity of filling. Friendly staff

Lostwithiel is well worth visiting with a nice river walk but this place, which is hidden on the other side of the river and railway, is the best place to eat. An old pub well kept with a car park and beer garden. We had a ploughman's on a weekday, very generous portions with cheddar, brie and a blue cheese with warm, crusty bread, very filling. Returned for the Sunday lunch (£13 for 2 courses), good plateful of home cooked delicious food and a lovely, homemade crumble. The beer from St. Austel brewery is a bonus.

Regular visitors when on holiday in area.

Traditional pub that serves good food and drink and is very frendly and welcoming - dogs especially - with a beer garden

Wife and I called in because of reviews, but we were advised we would have to wait because they only had 8 menus and they had a party of eight booked! As only four people in restaurant suggested we could look at menu before others arrived, no this was not possible. We duly waited for menus to become available even jokes with party of eight about sneaking a quick look at menu. Food when it arrived was very good. First time we have had to queue for the menu!

We were visiting friends nearby, and booked in for an overnight stay. Large, comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast - good quality food perfectly cooked. Hope to visit again sometime.

Called in for lunch after a recommend from friends. Excellent food and enormous helpings !! Great service and very good beer ! Well worth a visit if in the area

Having frequented this lovely little pub on a number of occasions I have always found the food and service absolutely super. Unpretentious great British pub food at its best!

Have not been able to visit for a couple of months due to illness and the fact that this

Had 2 rump steaks one mixed grill and chicken breast with brandy sauce. Four of us to eat lovey pub but all off our meat was not cold but just about warm we did say and they took 20 off our bill but spoilt our meal also my steak had fat running though it and I left most of it. They did offer us a drink on the house also but the damage had been done and we cut our evening short and went home. Shame to say how can you go wrong with pub grub as it want busy.

The first of our many small town rustic stopovers. The room was nice with a few interesting innovations like the garden hose through the window to bring the water to the toilet. Hey, it works. Room and bed comfortable and a good shower. Dinner was average but adequate but breakfast was very good.

Nice and quiet pub tucked away in this little village. Very pleasant bar staff and nice selection of ales and spirits.

Rooms were really dirty and they played loud blasting music until 10.30pm on a Wednesday evening. Stayed in room which didn’t have an en suite bathroom. Staff were friendly enough and the breakfast was fine but the rooms was by far the dirtiest I have ever seen.

Served by Jess, who didn’t seem too friendly or helpful but was nonetheless efficient. No menus on a Sunday (and therefore no prices). Choices were roast lamb, roast chicken, roast beef or veg curry. Went to order but no roast chicken. Re ordered and then Jess came out of kitchen to state there was no lamb either. No apology, very matter of fact. However, the food that arrived was cooked perfectly and very tasty.

We came here last year and the place was just the same, just as good. The jumbo cod and chips was so nice I had it two nights running, pub fish and chips can be so variable but this was like straight out of a good fish and chip chop. There was a comment from one of my party about lack of things on the menu with fresh vegetables though.

We eat here quite often & the food is always excellent. We went there with a friend & as usual...

We stayed here in May and decided to return, we were not disappointed.

4 of us went for Sunday lunch and wow it was fantastic. Presented so well and tasted amazing. Recommend the Sunday roast any day.

We were part of a group which gradually expanded, but they still managed to fit us all in. The group ate a wide range of that offered on the menu, and everyone was happy with their food. Food and drinks are a reasonable price, and the service was friendly and prompt.

We called in today loads of locals around the bar I waited and waited and waited to be served then the lady came from behind the bar and disappeared with one of the before mentioned locals no hello excuse me I'll be a few minutes nothing !I felt about as welcome as a cat with flees. After a good 5 minutes I gave up my wife and I left and went to a different local to be greeted by a friendly lady who was only too happy to serve us. So if you don't want a drink and like to be ignored then visit if not go somewhere nice ! Enjoy.

We booked four nights at the Earl of Chatham and were not disappointed. Good breakfasts everything cooked freshly and there is a list in your room to tick which items you would like for breakfast each morning. The bed was very comfortable & lovely white linen.Owner & staff are very friendly, the locals are too!!A lovely little town to visit a little off the beaten track but not spoilt at all by modern living, railway station is handy if you fancy a trip out to Truro (saves the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park.)

Lovely afternoon drink with the family. Warm welcome with a great choice of drinks. Our family ranged from 4 to 61 years old.

We had a lovely meal while holidaying in Lostwitheil. Good food, good service and kids catered for. Only improvement would be better/more gluten free options for kids. Having said that, they were very flexible in creating a bespoke dish for us.All in all very happy with our meal and overall experience here!

This brilliant little pub in the lovely town of Lostwithiel is located in a handy position for the railway station. Our room wasn't glamorous, but everything was comfortable and quiet enough for a good nights sleep. Our train left early the following day, and so we couldn't sample breakfast, but the manager was very kind and got up early to make us tea, toast, and a bacon sandwich to take away. This was beyond the call of duty, and was very much appreciated.

Fresh crab salad, huge tastey battered cod and chips enjoyed in the bar section which welcomes well behaved dogs. The Tribute beer is very tasty too. Nice friendly and comfortable pub

we needed a B&B in Lostwithiel, and chose a smashing little pub called the Earl of Chatham. tucked away, a real old-fashioned place. warm welcome, lovely little room, lovely linen. we expected to miss breakfast as we had to catch an early train and Jackie the boss was kind enough to get up early to give us tea and toast and bacon sandwiches for the journey! WHAT A STAR! what superb service!

Lostwithiel is one of those magical little places that one hears about in Cornwall but rarely gets to visit. Its a town of antique shops, social cafes and all within walking distance of each other. The common theme of Cornwall , when it comes to food is always the fish as to whether you are on the east coast or west coast the fish is always fresh and served almost everywhere. The pub is also a lovely spot for a pint or a whiskey and the service is really lovely. The big advantage of the Earl is their own private parking where the rest of the town has limited parking for its residents and visitors.

Parking for electric vehicles a plusHad a steak and ale pie which was awesome.Wife had Thai fish cakes that were nice too.Proper country pub feel.

Lovely warm friendly pub with fantastic food & good service. A little off the beaten track away from the town centre but well worth a visit.

Room was clean and comfortable but had a separate bathroom across a hallway which was a little inconvenient in the dark not knowing where the switches are. It's very much a local drinkers pub and although staff were friendly enough it wasn't a warm welcome.It can get noisy in the pub and the sound easily travels into the upstairs rooms.Breakfast was tasty and there was plenty to fill me up.

My chilli was very good but friends had chicken in brandy sauce which was, they said, ok. We ate in the public bar as had dogs. Place could do with an overhaul. Old fashioned, which isn't a bad thing in itself, and staff friendly. Place felt tired. Nice log burner for winter days and I imagine Christmas with the locals here is a good laugh.

Deze typische Engelse pub kan ik iedereen aanraden. Prima bediening betaalbaar en uitstekend eten. Wanneer je de earl of Chatham binnenloopt voelt het meteen als warm en welkom.

Food excellent! Menu extensive and varied!Good location! Staff excellent really helpful recommending places to visit in area.

A good friendly pub with good beer. It also does good food and other drinks. It also has wifi. Just up the hill from the railway station.

Had a truly delicious roast beef lunch today. Friendly, efficient service, log fire burning - what more could you ask for?

The earl of Chatham is a friendly pub which does very good food. There is an extensive menu with wide selection of starters and mains, but if you fancy something different (we like to share garlic bread and olives before the main course) it is somehow conjured up. The food was excellent, as was the wine and beer, and represented good value for money too.

Friends visited this pub and suggested we go. I took my family.Why it is greatWe went in when there were only three people at the bar. I suspect regulars. They made us feel very welcome. The bar lady did not say much but that did not matter as I felt she made me feel welcome. I drank cider which is rare! We sat by the warming fire which was nice.I wanted to go back because I felt at home in the pub.I returned with my wife the next day. One of the men at the bar the previous day made us welcome again. He is an asset to the pub!We were encouraged to feed the fire which I again felt was welcoming. Other locals engaged us in conversation. We had a lovely evening. I have been in pubs in Cornwall that have put up barriers this one did not. I will go back again. My wife was planning to return on her own for a drink which says a lot about the kind welcome. I have not eaten here yet but my fiends say we should. I will give the food a try but if the welcome is as good as this all the time then I will return often.THANK YOU.

Very good food and customer service. A busy evening in the pub and restaurant, staff still managed to provide a very good service.
