Fort Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

So we were encouraged by the great reviews and had been passed on several occasions and it looked a nice clean place with a stunning view. We went on a Tuesday and it was really quiet, place was clean and we had a great table, unfortunately the orange juice was out of a carton….not expected for the price we paid. We then ordered our food, my ceased salad was lovely. The chicken burger average and my partners mixed grill was inedible….the chicken was black and missing onion rings. We mentioned to the server who replaced it within 5 mins we felt this was quick for a fresh mixed grill…again all on the crispy side and the chicken heavily seasoned. Gutted as we had looked forward to this. We weren’t asked if we wanted desserts or to see a menu. So we left disappointed.

Excellent location, reasonable food selection- reasonable prices, very welcoming. Dog friendly so thankfully we could book here 👍

This was our first time visiting the Fort , after receiving a recommendation from a friend. We booked for Sunday Lunch and what a pleasure it was. Upon arrival, we had a warm greeting from a member of staff, and shown to our table, and luckily it was in the window, which gave us a great view of the coast. All the drinks and food are ordered at the bar, again, considering it was Sunday lunch the service was spot on with plenty of staff serving. We both decided on the standard size carvery, this was quite adequate for us both.But if you want a larger plate, you can upgrade for an extra £3.50 The choice of meats were(Beef, Turkey and Pork) all were well cooked, also a good selection of vegetables and of course served with a Yorkshire pudding. All in all, very good quality food and surroundings too.

Come to the Fort whenever we are in Newquay and it never disappoints. The Sunday carvery is absolutely first class, roast potatoes are perfect and the beef was so tender. Really enjoyed it as usual.

We have been to the fort Inn many times and the it’s for the soft play and the Fantastic Sunday carvery A Big Thanks to Rich for always being so welcoming and a friendly face, we will be returning. Rachel

Great food at a great price. Friendly staff and nice views over the beach - well worth a visit if staying in the area.

Lovely place, it is a little pricey due to its location, but you do get a good plate of food. Lovely staff, and quick service. The environment was a little loud, that said we visited during the Easter holidays. Beautiful view out to the ocean. All round good experience.

Visited for the first time today and was impressed by the atmosphere, service and plenty seating-especially outside which was lovely with the weather. Order hot and cold drinks as well as food. Only complaint would be how awful the fries were-especially with a burger you expect something a bit more (glad didn’t order the fish for this reason!) than skinny, thin fries. This did let the food down a bit but none the less overall was ok and would visit again when back in Newquay.

Light bite dinners great value...family enjoyed the scampi, fish was bit overcooked. Chips were really nice. The southern fried chicken wrap was a joke. Contained 2 scrawny.bits of chicken, half a slice of cheese, however plenty of Lettuce. As a light lunch, it lived up to its billing being literally lighter than air.

I can't comment on the food became we only had a drink but the food I saw being served it looked very good. Restaurant /bar overlooking the sea and set in an old building which retains some of it's original charm and features. Staff were very kind and helpful and extremely dog friendly

Very friendly staff. Food was extremely quick which was great for our hungry kids. Food itself was solid pub food. Nice view on the beach. Will visit again.

I get that it’s Easter holidays but 4 pieces of squid for £8.00 and 4 chicken strips for £8.00 and not homemade is a rip off only wanted a few snacks with drinks. We don’t mind spending money on good food but don’t like feeling ripped off. Service staff drinks as expected so just a heads up before you dine @ fort inn

Lovely place with a fabulous view! Lots of outdoor seating so when the sun is shining this is a great place to stop off. Good traditional type of menu and the food we had was very tasty. Would recommend a visit!

We visited on Sunday for a carvery and have to say it was very good. It is well priced and a good assortment of meat and vegetables. The weather was great, so we sat outside and enjoyed the amazing views. Dog friendly, too, which was a big bonus.

Enormous pub catering for families. Play area for the young ones, beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. The building itself is gorgeous. St Austell's Brewery fayre at the bar with a good range of ciders. Service was excellent. Dogs welcome. Recommended.

Fantastic food, welcoming, friendly service and great views over the beach. Very dog friendly too. Would highly recommend.

We were warmly welcomed and shown to the table. The food was delicious and therefore of and 👍. We would come again. Thanks!

Food was lovely. Really nice staff! The place was a little cold though!

Great place to take the kids. Went as a large family group with several small children. Was nice for the kids to be able to play and not have to sit with the adults.

the nicest thing is the position . it was great to sit overlooking the beach after our meal. not impressed with the menu. my pepper soup was far too hot for my liking. I couldn’t eat it and the piece of bread was spongy as if it had been heated in the microwave. the chicken and chips were ok just not inspiring. the staff were pleasant enough. I would go again for a beer/drink but not to eat.

Beautiful view and delicious carvery

Great pub with plenty of seating and stunning views of the beach. We always look for dog friendly indoor places to eat but having a largebreed we still ask if hes ok coming in. There were lots of dog treats and dog bowls of water available for our dog and we felt table spacing was enough that he wasn't in the way of other customers. Service was quick, portions decent size and food overall delicious! The light bite fish and chips was surprisingly still a generous portion 🤭

Nice place with fabs views , play area for the kids, dog friendly with a station with biscuits and water bowls, good food an friendly staff , great vegetarian options

Very nice place, good and highly recommended.

Always recommend here for food, staff and the views!

Just had a drink, great pub to sit ams watch the waves crash in

I held an event here. Easy to deal with, the part of the pub that they cornered off for us was fantastic. Ultimately very happy.

I live local and use The Fort often. Sunday roasts here are epic, with the option for a doggy bag. Win. Staff are helpful. Not a bad word to say about the place.

Beautiful place, food and atmosphere. Kids Soft Play And niece Crew All the best and see u soon

Absolutely Lovley place,with Fantastic View Taste Food and Kids Soft Play also Pets Free F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S 👌 see You Next Time

We come every Thursday (grandad, mum, toddler and a baby) and we love it. Softplay for the toddler, chill atmosphere for the baby to sleep, grandad gets to run around after toddler and mum gets to sit and relax. Amazing views, great food and the staff are so friendly, helpful and do all they can do make it easier with 2 kids.

Great for the kids and really lovely views.

Views, staff, venue itself were all perfect. The food however was abysmal. Katsu chicken burger was like watery rubber in a 6 month old bun. Chips were nice though...

Came here while down for a holiday and had a couple of pints outside, staff were lovely and accommodating don't know the two girls behind the bar at the time but served my mate a perfect Guinness with a clover in it ggs well played 🙏🏻xx

Come in for Sunday lunch… what can I say. Food was incredible (best roast I’ve had in a very long time) Wide arrange of drinks to suit everyone Play area for the little ones Good attentive service and happy staff regardless how busy it is. And to top it all off the views from the beer garden are something else.

Decent food has sports on just stupid. You can order drink from one till and food from another speed up sales and production sell all at both...

Food was good and service was very quick

Friendly staff, amazing food and lovely views of the beaches

Brilliant place. Couldn’t fault it

Big pub, good selection of drinks, cider,real ale and craft ale

I took my family here after searching for a child friendly restaurant and this place was nothing short of amazing possibility the best place in the area. They had a great play area for the kids, the outdoor ocean view of the harbour was stunning, the staff were super friendly and service so quick!!! I ordered a steak and my wife the chicken....it was grilled to perfection. We managed to squeeze in some desert and we loved every bit of it. We'll definitely be returning here again on our next holiday!!!

Brilliant location. Fantastic selection of beers. Staff were very friendly, service was great but the food was very average. Chips were soaked in grease as though they had been hanging around for a while. Scampi was caked in bread crumbs making it hard to find the scampi. Great for a drink but give the food a miss.

Excellent carvery, with a good selection of succulent meats, all the usual trimmings and tasty vegetables. I opted for a turkey/pork mix, which were both melt-in-the-mouth delicious. The carvery counter was replenished regularly, so the potatoes stayed crunchy and the veg freshly cooked. Service was also friendly and attentive. Just one constructive comment: The Fort is very family friendly, but for those visiting/dining without children, the noise and traffic nearer to the play area can be a bit overpowering, so I would recommend asking for a table at the front of the restaurant area, which is what we would do next time. We'll definitely be returning soon, thank you!

Lovely staff extremely friendly very efficient

My husband popped into the Fort tonight as a treat to himself after a walk up the headland . He ordered a pint of Korev and was charged £5 by a lovely girl who had a conversation with him . A while later he decided to get another pint of the same lager and was served by a young man . He charged him £6 . Not wanting to cause a fuss my husband didn't say anything . But surely this isn't right . Thank you for your reply and explanation , apologies for my misunderstanding. I have changed my star rating accordingly

Five of us visited on 3st Jan for a meal and drinks Bar staff were nice, friendly and pleasant...... as were serving staff Pub was not busy but the atmosphere was pleasant However the food kept much to be desired. Sirloin steak was thin, very chewy and very small for the price. Grilled tomato was not grilled and refrigerator cold Mushroom was cold with no flavour Peas were hard and cold Some of the chips were old and must have been hanging around for a while....growing harder Ham and chips was spoilt by cheap and bland meat which appeared to be manufactured. This was never real ham and most of it on two meals was left on the plate. There was a lot of it but less of a better quality meat would be an improvement. Dipping curry sauce for onion rings was refrigerator cold. Onion rings were cold and unpleasant. This may have been a bad night for the cooking staff but surely somebody in the kitchen must be made responsible for checking it was "good to go" Between us we ordered two ham, eggs and chips one steak one scampi and one burger. We are not over critical people but nobody really enjoyed their meal and much of it was kept on the plate. I cannot recommend any of the food we purchased. We were in town to visit a 90 year old uncle and complaining on the spot would have spoiled the evening more.

Spacious, and welcoming, food not bad. Hits the spot.

Had the sausage and mash and hunters chicken both were absolutely amazing, lovely mustard flavor in the mash would definitely come again if in the area

Few holiday drinks this eve, enjoyed a Monday's "Curry night"! Food was excellent and the staff were super friendly! Chatted with the Manager a few times, general chit chat.. What a lovely guy! Would highly recommend.

Huge pub /restaurant with lots of tables and seating area over looking the beach. The food is what I would call Good pub grub ,staff are always friendly and tables are cleared quickly.

The family and friends went there on a saturaday in the new year approx 6 of us Service is excellent and a clean place but the main meals where terrible and the sweets just tasteless the mixed grill in particular was awfull The site was not busy and everybody was sat around in there coats and hats because it was so cold inside we normally go in there 6 or 7 times a year and I think next time we will look elsewhere

I had the fish and chips, and although the portion was an awesome size,.... the meal was very dry and a bit bland. I don't usually throw every condiment on a meal but with this one, I had to! Not a moan,..... just my honest view!!!👍 We are quite regular to The Fort as we're local and the grandkids are addicted to your soft play area! The rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed their meals!! The service was brilliant as usual!!

Went with my partner as booked for New Year's Eve for 2nd year in a row. Drinks are more on the expensive side but expected. The food was way too expensive for the quality provided and comparable to other venues on the cheaper side (not to name any names) - a mixed grill is over £20. Staff always pleasant and atmosphere okay.

I went for lunch at the Fort Inn today it was New Years Eve and expected it to be busy which is was. I ordered a burger and chips which arrived 30 min for ordering- not a bad wait. Unfortunately the chips and burger were cold and to honest really not worth the money I spent. Disappointed won't be returning again 😪

Lovely place, tho drinks are rather expensive. Edit, exactly the same 5 years on

Lovely place, very randomly discovered on our stroll in Newquay. Perfect with children, cosy and beautiful views. Great food. We will definitely come back

Great area for the children to play. Love the interior decor.And understand the relaxed atmosphere . We chose a carvery which would had been great if it was hotter. By the time we got to the table it was already cool. The children's meals off the menu was hot enough. Also seeing today's climate, the staff should could had been more helpful if they want to save their jobs. We are local and have eaten here before.

We have enjoyed many good family meals here, but today we called in to shelter from the wind. Attracted by ‘Mulled Wine’ we ordered two. It was tepid. We asked if it could be warmed up. Maybe in a saucepan or even a microwave. Apparently this was not possible so they issued a refund. No wonder the pub industry is struggling.

Always nice pub to visit when in Newquay. Great refurbishment. One of the male bar staff Chris we found not to friendly which is a shame as other members of staff were . Hope to be back soon .

The perfect place in Newquay to have a family lunch. Great views of the Bay, quality pub grub and plenty of space. Love the ham egg n chips.

Really nice place - we had three carverys and there was a problem with my vegetarian one (I suspect it was because of my own misunderstanding, so not even the staff's fault!) The error was very quickly rectified, and staff were very friendly about it - I didn't feel for an instant that I was being a nuisance. I reckon mistakes can always happen, but the important thing is how the mistake is dealt with, and this was exemplary customer service. If their manager can identify the staff member who was serving at the carvery counter at 17.00 on Sun 8th Dec, please say a massive thank you for being so amazingly brilliant about the Vegetarian Problem! Once we had our food it was lovely - even my nut roast was tasty, too often the vegetarian option is some bland afterthought reluctantly tacked on to the menu, but someone had put some thought into making sure this tasted nice. And THE SPROUTS WEREN'T SOGGY!! What more can I say! Love it, will definitely be back

Lovely weekend in Newquay Three lovely meals in the Fort .Staff from managers to staff to chef all brilliant 👏

I was charged £11.25 for a 250ml glass of Tamari Malbec red wine. When I queried the cost I was told it was a big glass and I should have checked the prices. Is it any wonder that pubs are dying out when we are charged over the odds for a bottle I can get for £8 online. Of course I should have checked the price but one thing I will do in the future is check out the competition and never visit this pub again.

Haven't eaten here so cannot comment but did see some super sized Sunday roasts. We were in Newquay for a weekend and made sure we visited here each day. Love sitting and watching the world go by outside. Wonderful position overlooking bay and beaches.

Went to a function at the Fort on Fri 15/11. Got to say food was Gyros and absolutely amazing. Hosted by someone called Rich. What a host. Good atmosphere and staff were amazing. Thank you. Liked it that much went back Sunday for the roast. Again, a stunning meal.

Excellent venue, excellent staff and amazing food

Amazing evening, the Fort hosted a private event!! Everything was absolutely perfect, the service the food the venue highly recommend!!

very nice view stopped for a drink

Had a great time, 5 of us on a table with beautiful views. I had pork and turkey for my carvery, the others had beef which was all lovely, gravy and toasties were very tasty too. Service with a smile to top it off. We will be back.

Came for our dinner as heard the curry menu was very good. Pub was clean with a nice atmosphere, music not too loud. Clean toilets. Lovely helpful staff. We all ordered food off the curry menu. It arrived very quickly and was piping hot. Came with plenty of condiments and was absolutely superb. Really tasty with loads of flavour. A very enjoyable evening, thank you.

Monday night is curry night.We were a party of four friends and all really were very impressed by the tasty plateful . Exceptional once again!

Met up with family for lunch, had a great time. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was great and lots of choices. Defo go there again.

Quiet with a cracking view looking out to sea. Also dog friendly

Carvery was ace here.. tons of food.. really nice. Lovely place to chill..play area for kids which was great. Definitely recommend this lovely pub over looking the sea.

Lovely family pub with a decent outside area and amazing views over Newquay harbour and beaches.

This is a lovely Pub great atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful views. Tables cleared as soon as finished. We have eaten here before off the normal menu which was very tasty this time we had Sunday Lunch. Unfortunately, would not have again. The meat was lovely but the vegetables were so tasteless and cauliflower cheese mushy. Will go back again but not for the Sunday Lunch

Nice meal. Good selection of drinks. Great location overlooking the harbour. Tables outside as well as inside.

Busy pub on a Friday evening serving locals and tourists. Quick service, decent food. Great views over the bay.

Meat a bit dry, but wine was ok.

Positives first: this pub has lovely decor and is super dog friendly. Negatives: Booked for dinner, 5 adults one child. 1 starter ordered. 50 minutes went by, enquired about the delay. Was met with a curt manager who snapped that the delay was due to the one starter ordered. Mains came out after an hour and 15 minutes. School dinners come to mind; cheap oven chips, bullet peas and a cremated steak. Both steak meals returned and refund issued. Best for a drink, avoid food, especially at peak times.

Great views on a sunny day, with a good pint of Tribute.

Sunday carvery was delicious and hot.

Beautiful spot overlooking the beach and harbour, didn't eat there so can't comment on the food

Well-kept real ale, friendly efficient service. Reasonably presented standard pub food.

Lovely pub with great views over the beach, food and drinks are very good too

Cracking view of Newquay beach. Ate outside and food was really delicious pub grub. Fish and chips recommended as well as the pasty ploughman's lunch. Couldn't fault the service.

Fantastic place, one of the best views in Newquay. Food Fantastic and tremendous staff.

Great food, great service, first time at this restaurant, but will definitely be back.

Poor service cafe type too many dogs, no service of any degree .Had to ask condiments, napkins and water, nothing offered or asked was meal ok.

Amazing place in Newquay for a tasty carvey! Couldn’t fault the place - very generous servings, always very busy so says a lot! Fantastic views over the beach as well 😍🌊✨

Very over priced food, but the atmosphere was good and the weather did help a lot.

I normally only write reviews to point out poor service food etc but.... the Fort Inn, the ketchup bottle was sticky and that was the only down side! Just amazing, thoroughly enjoyed everything, but special mention has to go to the sticky toffee pudding the real star of the show

A great location at Newquay Harbour, outside seating with great views. I only had a drink, but the menu looked fine.

Good pub with brilliant outdoor seating that overlooks the Newquay harbour and the entire bay with brilliant food dig friendly and sports on the tv(even outside) for those so inclined.

Great views, fish and chips were great! They have a kids indoor playground that was great for us to be able to enjoy our meal and our kid to play as there were many kids in there . * you order at the bar and then find your seat

Beautiful view ,good service, nice beer/lager/cider , food is a bit pricey but as a whole it is very worth it

Couple of pints sitting outside in the sun !

Great views from the patio area had to wait a while to be served person said I just need to go and swop the coke over only to be gone for at least five minutes even though people were waiting

Just had the most fantastic curry at the Fort Inn, Newquay. Friendly staff, service was great but the curry night was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend.

Just had a Sunday Roast, which was lovely. Could not fault the service. Very dog friendly and nothing was too much trouble for the staff
