Having eaten here a few months ago we decided to go back. Last time the food was nice and was priced reasonably. Situated right over the beach it was nice for a drink outside before moving indoors to eat. This time however we were too late to eat but was told we could get some chips. Pint of cider, bacardi and coke, 2 packets of pork scratchings and 2 small pots of chips ( and they were small ) this was over £24. !!! I felt like i had been robbed. Poor band playing with a lead singer who was monotone and didn’t start until 9pm. We won’t rush back.

Stunning cliff top location with the best views from a pub/restaurant ever. Good free car parking available. Very hot day so very busy. Service was very slow with what appeared to be just one member of front of house staff rushing all over the place. Food was good, but we expected better. £8 for 3 chicken tenders, wow ! Steak & ale pie with a concrete crust. Sadly the service & food did not match the location but glad we still visited.

We only came here after spending time on Seaton beach and then being told by the nearby pub that we’d wait nearly an hour for our food. We saw the IOTS from the beginning of Downderry beach and driving through the village we just spotted the sign and we’re then lucky to get a parking space. We walked down the side and out onto the sea facing wooden terrace which was sweltering but dogs were welcome inside and food was being served throughout the day. Amazing how big this place is especially on the western inside seafacing dining room. But the bar area which had an attractive feel was warming up. We went through to a near empty back space and readied to order only to be overwhelmed by the multistench from the gents loos. But we were rescued by one of the smart relaxed friendly young staff who cared us back into the main bar area, where remarkably a light refreshing breeze through the doors was doing its magic. We bought four options from the lunch menu and a pint or two of some palatable ale we’d never heard of but which was deftly and sincerely marketed by the bar staff because the Tribute barrel needed changing. Our dog settled, we relaxed and surprisingly quickly our four small plates arrived. All very tasty. Dog was peaceful, only barking when a laid back old lady told him how smart he looked. The pub was in a an affable mood. Chunks of the dining area were empty but this is the first week of the low season so things were still healthy. The mood and the food are good. We were treated well. We shall come back. Apparently the present management are comparatively new. If they carry on as they are, perhaps with some minor tweaking it will do very well.

We have been visiting this pub during our frequent holidays to the area for around 4/5 years. Whilst we have always enjoyed a drink here especially outside with the fantastic sea view, we have on occasion been disappointed by the food so more often than not have avoided eating here. However, since the new management team have been in place we have noticed a dramatic difference for the better and we couldn’t be more pleased! During our 16 day trip we have eaten here many times including a fantastic Sunday roast, took advantage of the Wednesday night supper club and many meals and snacks in between. The food is fantastic now and great value for money. The staff are really friendly and attentive and genuinely appear to be pleased that you are visiting. The management are visible and steering the ship in the right direction. It has a much better feel about the place for tourists and locals alike. We decided to extend our holiday and have a final two days staying at the pub. The room was very comfortable, clean and welcoming. The bed was really comfortable and the breakfast included was delicious. Finally this lovely pub is getting the love and attention it deserves. We can’t wait to return.

Absolutely loved this quirky Inn. Lovely decor throughout for a beach feel. We had an amazing Beach and Sea view. The old Inn is built on a cliff with plenty of outside seating to enjoy the sun and views. The food was amazing, having had an evening meal and breakfast. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The Inn on the Shore is also dog friendly, and they are allowed in the restaurant, which, if like us, you have a dog that sings when you leave him, was great. Would definitely love to return, but stay longer.

We ate dinner - two trout, one lamb. They were all excellent: beautifully cooked with lovely vegetables. Our guest said it was the best meal he'd had all year. That ws from interesting and diverse menu choices. Beautiful sea views from many tables. Excellent outdoor options - sea side, or out front depending on the breeze. Friendly staff and service.

1st time I went there and had fish and chips. Good portion, good service. the next day stopped by for brunch with a group of friends and by 10am they had no avocado. Then was served a shakshuka that looked nothing like what you'd expect, one egg, no bread/flatbread. Asked for a single slice of bread and was told to get up to go pay for it at the bar. Interesting approach to "good service". Won't be in a rush to get back

Wanted to come to the Inn for a couple of years, sadly very disappointed. Service very poor, ignored us, no choice given on ciders even though several stocked, no knowledge of menu, no warning of cooking time. Food took ages and then was lukewarm, saute potatoes burnt, chips dry and over cooked, trout undercooked, lamb chewy. Restaurant was not even that busy. No water brought to table as requested. Staff didn't even check if food was ok even after complaint about the wait. Manager was defensive but did reduce the bill by over half. Left hungry and didn't bother with deserts.

Went for lunch today at the Inn on The Shore. Superb setting and view. Staff were lovely....quite a long wait for food and they forgot one of only 3 drinks ordered and i had to go and ask for it.Cod and chips and ham egg and chips were quite nice although chips were quite dry. I had wild mushrooms on sourdough toast with mozerrella, spinach and poached egg. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. The mushrooms and spinach were so wet that the sourdough toast was just like mushy bread and the poached egg was overdone.....I also thought that £10.50 for one slice of bread with a mushy topping was completely overpriced....nice coffee though.

Booked a meal for 8 at 2pm. Week before booking, they told me they were overbooked and could we change our time. Yes. Then we had to pre order our meal. Done. When we turned up, ordered starters sold out. Substitutes. Ok. Starter a thin piece of bread, one mushroom chopped with a scrap of cheese. Then main course over 1 hour later. Roast pork really over peppery. Roast potatoes obviously cooked in the fryer. Then coffees and they could not even get that right. Forgot coffees and items not ordered delivered. Did not get a tip and would not go there for a big family meal or a Sunday roast again

The view from our room was fab , overlooking the ocean , there wasn't much else good about it though. With a room rate of £210 for 2 people and a small dog, we were expecting luxury but we got old, damaged, and dated fixtures and fittings . The food in the restaurant was ok, but overpriced for what was essentially warmed up pre prepared food. The whole building needs updating including the outside which is overgrown and untidy.

Party of 3 people, we all had our meals separately, about 20 minutes apart. My meal was luke warm but l ate it anyway as l couldn't be bothered to complain. We asked where are the other meals and they said the order on the screen didn't go to the kitchen and they would give it priority My brothers meal came 20 minutes after, l had finished eating mine, another 15 minutes went by and then my wife's meal arrived. It was cold so it went back to the kitchen to be reheate. That took another 15 minutes to get it back. My wife was so annoyed she lost the will to eat it and ate a little. The location is very nice but the service is very poor and will not be going for a meal their again.Not to be recommended .rate only 0/10.

Such wasted potential, with incredible sea views. Would love for this pub to become independent. They are owned by a large chain called Punch Taverns, which regularly changes management using exploitative contracts. They also hired both locals and Ukrainian refugees and then refused to pay the staff for an entire month’s wages when they changed management, which is illegal.

Whilst visiting a friend in Cornwall over the Easter weekend, we booked a table for Saturday night, for dinner. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The menu provided a good choice of starters, main courses and desserts, making it a tough decision, however the friendly waiters and waitress helped with recommendations. I started with the Pork Belly Bites with Red Chill and Apple Sauce, which were very nice, and just the right amount. For main I went with the Pan-fried Trout, Garlic Prawns, Buttered Greens and Suatéed Potatoes. It was cooked to perfection with large King Prawns and Tenderstem Broccoli, Carrott and Leeks. Then for dessert, I opted for the Morello Cherry Sundea, Coconut Ice cream and Belgium Waffle. This was delicious and despite the Belgium Waffle, it was a light dessert. The only negative comment I would make is it was a shame there was no external lighting so we could see the view of the sea whilst dining. However despite this I can't wait to visit again soon!

After an absolutely horrible Saturday we decided to go to Downderry for a walk and a Sunday lunch as the forecast was good Everywhere was really busy and obviously because of the good weather other people decided the same as us. The pub itself was very busy, but the restaurant did not seem overly so. We had booked a table, but we waited over an hour to receive our food, which I think is really unacceptable. On the plus side our waitress was lovely and very apologetic. To be fair, the lunch was very good and I could not fault it and I don't think the restaurant was ready for a busy day after the horrible weather the day before. All in all the food was great, but be prepared to wait, unless the weather changes!!

Went for lunch with the family on Saturday afternoon for an early Mother’s Day treat. Food was lovely but was overshadowed by really poor service. Having pre-booked the table and it not being particularly busy we maybe expected a lot more. The staff came to see us once throughout the whole afternoon to take our food order. We had to go to the bar to order our own drinks and we’re not asked through the meal if we wanted anything else (drinks, sauces etc). Once we’d finished our meal we waited for our plates to be cleared and ask for a desert menu. In the end I had to grab a menu and go to the bar again and order. Even when our deserts were finished with they weren’t cleared, I then had to go and get the bill from the bar as there was no waiting staff to be seen (all afternoon). Location and views are lovely, as is the food. Service just really let us down which is a shame.

Everything was perfect: crisp roasties, big fluffy yorkshire and good fresh veg. And it's such a relief to find a chef who treats vegetarian food seriously, instead of using processed meat alternatives. Service was great too!

Stopped serving food at 1440 on a Saturday. We had asked for a table for lunch, been seated by the waiter and handed lunch menus, only to then be told when ordering from the bar that they had stopped serving food, I was told this whilst food was being brought from the kitchen. Pretty ridiculous to be seated be a waiter, given a lunch menu and then refused service when the place advertises on the menu and online that food is served all afternoon.

Don’t be fooled by the photos on the website / on this page. Not sure if these are out of date but they’re deeply misleading as to the quality of the food. This is Wetherspoons fare at twice the price. Our son had a greasy Mac and cheese that had been heated to volcanic temperature in the microwave. I had a lazy burger and ‘skin on chips’ which were fries out a bag. My wife had the Sunday roast which looked like the majority of it had come out the freezer. All for nearly £80. Avoided a one star cause the views are nice and the young servers did their best. Save your money and go elsewhere!

We’d read mixed reviews, but it was convenient to walk to & we could take the dog, so made sense….until the food arrived. My sausage & mash was ok…that’s about all I can say, no better than ok…the plate was watery, presumably from the tasteless veg, so no point in putting the gravy on. My husbands fish and chips…cold & more batter than fish. Dessert…again, ok, no more than that. profiteroles were dry, and cherry sundae…the waffles were also very dry, and the cherries had clearly just been bought out of the freezer. £10.65 for a large glass of Pinot Grigio seemed excessive, and there was no wine list to choose from. I had to remind the staff that I’d ordered wine, before it was bought to the table. I did receive an apology, and the staff were friendly, and seemed to be trying their best. Not sure I’d recommend a visit, and won’t be visiting again. We were trying to put something in to the local economy…but will stick to self catering next time! 😢

Tonight we had a meal here, I ordered the vegan wellington, which came with sautéed potatoes (on the menu as the vegan option) I even double checked with the waiting staff. The meal came with butter drizzled all over and buttery mash potato. I questioned this to be sure and I’m glad I did as this was dairy. The chef had gone rogue and off menu. Although the waiting staff who looked after our table compensated me with a free drink, it worries me about our previous meals here. I do have to the say the person who dealt with this was wonderful! Just be sure to check and double check if you have any dietary requirements.

Very disappointed with our Sunday roast yesterday. We called to book a few days ago and specifically asked if the vegan roast option would be available as two of us are vegan. We were told it would. When it came to ordering our food though we were informed that it wasn’t available! Very frustrating to be told something is unavailable when you’ve rung ahead to make sure it will be. We were offered one of the other vegan options from the regular menu, a mushroom pie, and we asked if this could be served as a roast instead to make up for not having the roast option. We were told no, it couldn’t because of the way stock is ordered by the kitchen which we accepted. However when our food arrived, we had actually been given the pie with roast potatoes and veg! No one had come to our table to explain that this could have been an option or even if that’s what we still wanted. In hindsight I would have much preferred the mash potato as the roasties were bland and not crispy, the veggies unseasoned and swimming in a pool of water, plus the gravy was gloopy and luke warm. The pie was the only saving grace. On top of this we were served Yorkshire puddings which we had to explain aren’t vegan, even though we had specifically made them aware multiple times that we were vegan. Service was lacklustre. Not once did someone check to see if we were enjoying our food or if we needed more drinks. One of our party asked for hot sauce which never arrived. All in all our experience was pretty dire. It’s a shame as the pub itself is in a great location with amazing views across the ocean. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done here, in terms of communication across the team and with customers, including knowledge about dietary requirements. This could have been disastrous if one of us had a severe allergy.

Long wait for drinks; long wait for food. Cokes were half Coke half ice. Had “pan fried trout with garlic prawns & buttered greens”. Trout was dry as a bone; 3 king prawns with no trace of garlic; no sauce of any description. Buttered greens didn’t show up - was told that the veg that came with the others’ roasts were to share! Waiter checked & greens were delivered, but definitely not buttered & swimming in water. Certainly won’t be going back.

We asked for the vegan suet pudding with the roast sides but asked specifically to make this vegan. When it arrived it had a Yorkshire pudding on the plate which wasn’t vegan.

Lovely pub in a great location overlooking the sea, they provide a great contemporary ambience with good music. We went for a roast which costs £18 for chicken or pork or £20.50 for the beef so not cheap (not if you live in Cornwall anyway)...

Lovely experience. Great service & good food. Sone plates off the menu but lots of choices nevertheless. But able to book a table in the restaurant online as a solo traveller - which smarts - but able to book in person. Worth a visit.

This used to be a good pub until taken over by outsiders who are vile !! Very rude and unfriendly, no one is allowed to have fun, not allowed to hold a drink unless seated, the landlord patrols around telling everyone off, this is more like a youth club for kids. I would avoid this at all costs unless you want your evening ruinied

At the prices they charge, you would expect the staff to be courteous and polite. A couple on an adjacent table left without ordering, we followed a few minutes later.
