Kingswood Bar & Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The food is so good and the waitress is great too but there is no vegetarian option and also the restaurant time is always good

A lovely restaurant, which has experienced a terrible fire recently and is sadly now closed until further notice.

We were here for an early evening meal Thurs April 25th and also to assess to see if it was suitable for 70th birthday celebrations in May. The food is really good, we had the Sirloin, Rib eye and Fish pie and all were well presented and cooked exactly as ordered and were enjoyed, the only let down really is the lackluster service, bit hit and miss, slightly on the slow side , no check back to see if all was ok and young waiting staff standing chatting where they cannot see the whole restaurant, resulting in me having to get up and go round the corner where they were to get a refill of wine. This kind of service has always resulted in me not tipping. I have lived in the local area for 35 yrs and this was my 4th visit here during that time, it always used to be a bit unimpressive and haphazard service. The food has vastly improved but alas the service hasn't. There was a large party of about 30 people coming in whilst we were eating and I was watching to see if this was affecting the service but I don't think it was. The couple of staff who were chatting were still there when we left. Sorry to hear of the disaster that happened to Restaurant the next day as although we had decided not to do the birthday celebrations there we would have visited again at a later date.

We had a fantastic time here. The location of the hotel is excellent and the rooms are spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated. The entire hotel has been refurbished to a high standard. We had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant which was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented (see photos). Thank you to the chefs and the staff for providing excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this hotel and the restaurant and would definitely visit again.

Very sad news of the devastating fire which has ripped through The Kingswood early this morning, hopefully the rooms and restaurant can be saved, I'm sure it can rise from the ashes again.

Fantastic restaurant, great food and dedicated staff come together to give you a great dining experience! Visited with friends for a birthday meal and everyone had a great time.

Absolute gem of a hotel and restaurant. Great size rooms, modern and stylish. Very clean and cozy. Restaurant was perfect. Great cocktails and food menu. Great chefs and staff. Will definitely be back. 100% recommend.

Lovely restaurant and hotel. Perfect stay. Great cocktails and food. Clean and tidy. Great staff. Would recommend 100%. Will definitely stay and eat there again.

Very nicely appointed rooms, quiet, clean and comfortable. Don’t think of this place as a hotel with a restaurant, it’s a restaurant with a hotel.

Just spent two nights there. Exceptional rooms high in comfort. Very quiet. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. Recommend highly if you are visiting The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

A wonderful stay at The kingwood. The room is large which are beautifully furnished. The bed and pillows are very comfy and i slept so well. I had my two dogs with me who were very happy too. My partner and i ate dinner in the restaurant which was so delicious. The menu was varied with some lovely choices, we went for the steak for two and it was very testy and certainly did not disappoint and we had steak left over for the dogs, who were very happy too. We finished off with treats for two and this was just perfect for a desert after a filling meal. Breakfast in the morning was one of the best Full English I’ve ever had so lovely and beautifully presented. We will definitely return we loved our stay at The Kingswood.

We stayed at the Kingswood and had Dinner and breakfast. What a lovely place, the rooms were lovely with lots of space and very comfy bed and pillows. The bathroom was lovely and loved the light that comes on at night if you need to go to the toilet. My two dogs felt very at home apart from older dog not being able to walk on the wood floor but that’s my silly dogs phobia. We went to dinner at 7pm and this was exceptional in every way. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance and lovely table setting. The menu is varied and with lots of lovely options. We had the Steak for two and it was delicious. We then had the sweet treats for two which was a lovely option and just perfect after a large dinner. The staff are very professional and very friendly. Breakfast in the morning, we ordered a full English breakfast and I can say it’s one of best I have tested it was so delicious too and with wonderful presentation. I would highly recommend every thing about the Kingswood, we loved it and will definitely return again.

Fabulous hotel/restaurant. Rooms clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. Food scrumptious. Staff very friendly and polite.

The best hotel so far. Everything is new! The food is amazing. My wife and my dog love it so much. Will come back again.

Sunday lunch was very nice, but never worth £20, veg was only like warm, cauliflower cheese inedible it was very undercooked, nasty stain on the seat, not sure what it was but it had been there some time, I had to put my napkin on the seat to sit on it, sticky table my wine glass got stuck to it, it was very busy so I suppose its a popular place, there were a lot of celebrations going on, so, £52 for 2 Sunday lunches and 2 glasses of wine, if you want a desert, it's £9, I consider that to be a rip off. The staff were very nice though.

A very good hotel with parking. The food is of excellent quality. We booked a deal through Travelzoo which was excellent value.

Stayed for two nights bed & breakfast, we also had evening meals both nights. The accommodation is first class, modern, spacious, spotlessly clean rooms. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. both the breakfast and evening meals were delicious, plenty of choice and good sized portions. Will definitely visit again.

We are down from Kent for a break and after a Google search, booked for dinner at the Kingswood. What a find, a shame we are moving on as we would definitely return. Excellent service and delicious food - personally, quite probably the best fish pie I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Stuffed with fish and prawns and topped with a lovely creamy, herby mash. My partners fish & chips were hot and crispy and the portions so generous, there was no room for a desert unfortunately (maybe if we'd skipped having a starter but they all looked so tempting and delicious too!)

We enjoyed a birthday lunch at the Kingswood last Saturday, which was a very pleasant experience, each of our party went for very different meal choices, but all the food was served to the table, quickly, piping hot, and was quite quite delicious. We booked a late lunch and at the time there were few people in the restaurant but this didn't affect the atmosphere of the dining experience, we didn't feel hurried in anyway, and the serving staff were delightful. How lucky are we to live locally and have the Kingswood as our restaurant of choice.

We stayed for three nights and so had two dinners/three breakfasts here. On arrival I felt a little concerned at the main road location, but rooms were very quiet, well designed and furnished and very comfortable indeed. Then to the restaurant - what a treat! Food was excellent at every meal and, while at times staff were clearly busy, all service was extremely friendly and efficient! A really attractive venue with a comfortable atmosphere too. Even if not staying at the Kingswood I would be very happy to come back to eat there again!!

What a find! High quality food, comfortable stylish accommodation. Only stayed for one night. Wished it was longer!

My husband and I spent a couple of nights at the Kingswood on a travelzoo deal. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The bedroom was large, clean and very well equipped. The bed was huge, very comfortable and the pillows were lovely and soft. The room was very quiet, no sounds from neighbours. The food was wonderful, locally sourced and so tasty. Can't fault anything we ate for breakfast or dinner. Would highly recommend the Kingswood and would be very happy to stay there if in the area again.

Great service rooms and food. Can not fault anything. I stay in lots of hotels and this is one of the best. P.s food fantastic

A wonderful outing for mother's day. Staff very courteous and all meals very tasty, enjoyable and full plates. And very good value This has to be one of the most enjoyable restaurants here in mid-Cornwall.

We had a fabulous stay at the Kingswood. The staff were very friendly & welcoming, always happy to help & very efficient. The food was excellent & plentiful with a varied menu. The staff in the restaurant was very hardworking & provided a great & prompt service. The room was clean & beautifully decorated & the bed was extremely comfortable. Good location for The Lost Gardens of Heligan, well worth a visit, as well as local beaches & Mevagissey. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Visited for a Family birthday meal. Nice atmosphere. Not to loud! Food was fantastic. Service spot on. Very nice wine 😀 Highly recommended.

Large room and bathroom, quiet (our room was at the back and it was March). Decent food.

Absolutely love coming here for dinner, it’s one of my favourite restaurants! The food is always delicious and waitresses are lovely, the steaks and blue cheese sauce are incredible!

Have to say the breakfast is up there with the best I've had in a hotel. Coffee was great, the yogurt, compote and granola is as good as I do at home and the cooked breakfast was just amazing, perfect eggs. The only reason not to give 5* was that service was a bit slow, probably understaffed for a busy mother's day weekend, but really good food 👌

Visited the Kingswood, St Austell, Cornwall. Near to the Eden Project & Lost Gardens of Heligan. Really nice restaurant. Very high finish. Great drinks selection. Bar and lounge space.

Perfect for a short break. The room and restaurant meals were extremely high quality and the staff were very welcoming. Ideal if you have a car and enjoy walking or visiting Gardens in the area.

Lovely place , the rooms were very clean and stylish and the heating was lovely. The staff were really helpful and very attentive , nothing seemed a problem. The food was gorgeous from the breakfast to the dinner , definitely be back.

Very good food and service. Cocktails very enjoyable and we weren’t hurried. Fish and crab dishes were amazing and steaks very good quality. Loved the Eccles cake pudding the best! Good quality meal. Felt individual and not just more of the same.

Kingswood was a real delight for us, staff super friendly and the room was very comfortable, it has just been refurbished and looks amazing. Food was excellent on both the nights we ate in, lovely choice for breakfast just a shame that the weather was not good enough to eat in the outside courtyard which looked wonderful, perhaps, next time!

Excellent place to stay. Such helpful & friendly staff ☺️ Lovely large, comfortable rooms & great restaurant. Ideally situated for Eden Project & Lost Gardens of Heligan. Been twice & would love to come back. Highly recommended.

Stayed for 3 nights, therefore had 3 breakfasts, 2 evening meals & 1 evening snack plus drinks. The food was exceptional, fish pie & monkfish curry were outstanding....the staff were first class, polite, efficient & always on hand to help........Highly recommened

Restaurant used fir dinner and breakfasts during our short holiday break. Fascinating range of menu choices with generous portions.

Spent two nights last weekend and everything was excellent from the moment we arrived. Welcoming staff, lovely large room and delicious food. What's not to like! Would highly recommend it.

Highly recommended, rooms are spotlessly clean, staff are amazing & so helpful, the food is luvverly...👍🤙

Really great food and lovely atmosphere..

We stayed for two nights on a package and felt it ticked every box for a fulfilling, enjoyable short visit. The overall ambiance is pleasant, with a good lounge and dining areas. Our room was a good size, and included everything we needed. Meals were a very high standard - good quality ingredients, well cooked. It’s a pleasant walk 40 min walk down through Kings Wood to Pentewan harbour and beach, with pub & cafes, from where you could join the coast path in either direction. The Gardens of Heligan are walkable, or more likely a short drive away.

Excellent stay at the Kingswood. Great welcome, superb bedroom, brilliant restaurant with a wide choice of interesting dishes, breakfast was very good. All the staff were friendly and happy to help. Dog friendly . Also a great location for local attractions including the Eden project...

Stayed here for three night. Lovely rooms, great food, very friendly staff and good location. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Menu claims to be locally sourced asked the waitress where the meat comes from they said Trevarthens which I happen to know from being in the industry. I spoke to Trevarthens about my meal that it didn't taste like the quality I know and they...

I visited on a Saturday evening with my partner... service was pretty good but prices high.... on the menu it says localy sorced meat and rear breed pork... I asked where the meat was supplied from and they told me trevarthens working in the butcher industry I know them well and after speaking to some one who works there was informed they do not supply there so disappointing that they would lie and makes me worry where it really comes from isit even local and beware of other menu items probably cheap sourced and very high prices...shame

My wife and I have had a fantastic mini break at The Kingswood. Having read the previous reports, I have to say that they are absolutely spot on. Great set up and location. Staff are amazing. Amanda and the team work so hard and nothing...

Excellent service, lovely room and great food. All the staff are very welcoming and very helpful.

Fantastic hotel/restuarant. Amazing food and great staff. The rooms are lovely, bright and well appointed. Loved our stay. Would recommend.

The food and service were first class. Highly recommended. Lovely dining room and ambience. Plenty of choice on the menu and well worth the money.

Two night stay at The Kingswood which was fantastic. The room was large and very nicely decorated and furnished. Bed was huge and so comfortable. The bathroom was great and the shower was amazing. Staff were all very friendly, great service and the food was...

Stayed with friends on a Travel Zoo deal based on reviews on line and were not disappointed. Rooms large and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, large bed, desk, chairs, drawers plus a wardrobe plus hanging space. Great shower and anti mist mirror and lovely decoration everywhere. Staff were all very friendly and efficient and a special well deserved mention for Amanda the Restaurant Manager who seemed to wear many hats and must be a very valued employee. Food was excellent and plentiful with lots of choices and well presented and delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone thinking of staying in the area and the bonus was a sunny day. We will return.

We love the Kingswood! Stylish, quality decor, well designed, comfortable rooms and GREAT food and service in the restaurant. Can’t wait to visit again!

Another lovely stay, A great welcome on arrival, Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful rooms, spotlessly clean. Lovely breakfasts and evening meals.

We had dinner 2 nights running and therefore 4 different dishes between us, all of which were very good and beautifully presented.

Visited this establishment on Wednesday evening whilst staying in Cornwall. Noted on the web page that Wednesday evenings were a Turf and Surf evening (Steak and Fish). On arrival very impressed with the building, decor and cleanliness. We were then shown to our table, unfortunately,...

Charming efficient courteous staff, very well appointed spacious room that felt luxurious. An all round pleasurable experience.A visit is highly recommended

Bright modern restaurant and rooms . Food, rooms and staff all high standard . Location central for a lot of Cornwall

Perfect location for tranquility and beautiful walks, good location to visit local spots. Beautiful room, big and well equipped. Really nice restaurant and unbelievable food. It may sound expensive but really it's not for what you are getting for your money. Will definitely be returning

The rooms are extremely well presented with a tasteful relaxing modern decor. Even though there were others staying in rooms either side we heard no sound. The food excellent and of a high quality. Saturday night was very busy and our wait was a bit...

I don,t normally leave comments, however, today I felt very disappointed with our experience and felt upset by our family birthday lunch. We arrived for Sunday lunch, kept waiting a long time to place an order for food & drinks, then waited even longer to...

Had one night over for a suprise birthday treat for my partner, food was superb, room spotless and clean. Only thing I would change, is to see some traditional cocktails on the drinks menu, but that's a very small detail. I'd highly recommend The Kingswood 👌

I love the Kingswood but was very disappointed with my recent Christmas meal. I didnt have a starter and the main course was strangely deposited on one side of the plate with a pale gravy lake on the other side! My dessert had to be...

Lovely meal. Even better service. Nothing was too much trouble.

Went there for the wife's birthday. Food and service was first class and will definitely be back

We had a Travelzoo voucher for a three night stay, which was excellent value. Fabulous stay, extremely friendly staff, and outstanding food. Room was spacious and clean with quality bathroom products

Fantastic stay at The Kingswood, room was spotlessly clean, modern and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. Lovely touch having dog bowl and treats for us, great to find such a lovely dog friendly hotel. Will definitely return!

I cannot find fault with our 2 night stay at the Kingswood. The rooms were quiet, modern, spacious, clean and well furnished. The food is some of the tastiest food I have eaten. From main meals to breakfast to deserts it was all delicious. The...

Faultless stay at the Kingswood. Food was exceptional from dinner to breakfast to deserts, all round excellence. Rooms modern, quiet, spacious and well furnished. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Rooms are very comfortable,new and modern. Excellent food, tasty and a good choice

Absolutely beautiful hotel with stunning rooms. Everything was immaculately clean and the decor is gorgeous. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Superb hotel, have never had such good food at a hotel, rooms lovely, spotless and very comfortable bed

Visited as part of a family funeral. Pre-booked for a party of 36. The staff were excellent, very efficient, very attentive and had everything under control. They took care of our needs well. The pre-orderded food was all spot on and really nice. The 36 of us were served quickly and the food was hot and freshly cooked. Overall, very impressed and grateful for the way the event was handled. Thank you 😊

All round excellence from the Kingswood. Lovely spacious room, quiet, great shower, large and comfy bed - that’s for starters. Very dog-friendly with welcome biscuits and bowl, access to bar and restaurant for them as well as paw washing facilities. The food was fab -...

The food was fabulous. The room was spacious and quiet, the shower was excellent, the bed was large and comfy. Great set-up for dogs too.

A lovely, lovely establishment with great beds, bathrooms, interiors, food and staff. Nothing to fault, just wishing it was closer so we could drop in when we feel like spoiling ourselves and taking a break from cooking and cleaning.😊 Five stars all over!

Fantastic stay in early January. The staff, the rooms and the food were incredible. Really chuffed we found Kingswood. From the moment we sent the enquiry, we had a wonderful experience, delivered by every single person. One of the best experiences in Cornwall.

Amazing place. The food is unreal and the staff are absolutely lovely. Cannot fault this place.

New Years Eve. Very busy but excellent food and excellent service. It would have been helpful for me to have known that the lobster on the menu needs to be pre-ordered.

One of my absolute favourites! Kingswood has always been a favourite of mine over the years since living in St. Austell and I would always highly recommend. Went for my partners birthday last night and the food was 5/5, as always! Atmosphere great and always...

Had a family Christmas lunch here today. Food was first rate as was the service... Can't recommend highly enough! Thank you!

Wow had an amazing Christmas dinner here with friends 🧡 The atmosphere is wonderful The staff are attentive and looked after us really well thanks 😊 Yes this is a bit above your normal dining out budget but you will not regret it if you do splash out ot treat a loved one. Great evening and fantastic food Oh and try a cocktail 🍸

Had Christmas menu. Very nice gravy but the roast potatoes were over cooked.

A wonderful experience. Lovely large and comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated. Great food served in the superb restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Nothing too much trouble. We’ll be back.

A really lovely hotel and restaurant to spend a few days over my birthday weekend. The staff were so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble and the service was always with a smile.

Here for a couple of nights short break. 3rd to 5th December. Not the place you'd pick for presence or views but boy it made up for that everywhere else. Rooms are new ( 13 months old), spotless and very comfortable, with a large superking bed and nice linen. Staff are lovely. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I'd name them but can't remember all of them...sorry, but you'll know yourselves from the dates above. The food was excellent, both at breakfast and in the evening. Portions were somewhat on the large side for us, but that might please others. Great fish curry, fish pie, tomahawk pork steak and ragu in the evening. Great avocado toast for breakfast. It's near Charlestown, Mevagissey, Eden and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.

My wife and I wanted a short break away to relax before an impending operation. My wife booked The Kingswood and we could not have been happier with the choice. The room was amazing, spotlessly clean, well equipped and spacious with all the modern touches. Its the first time that my wife has gone into a hotel room and not wanted to change. She described the room as 'Wow!' Tamsin welcomed us to our stay and after unpacking we went into the bar and was then served with the most beautiful and mouthwatering cream tea which set the standard for the rest of the stay. We ate in the restaurant on both evenings and the food was incredible, no wonder the restaurant was full. Breakfast was exceptional quality and plenty to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the portions were extremely generous both for dinner and breakfast. All the staff were friendly and helpful and everyone had a smile on their faces even though they were rushing around due to being so busy. The Kingswood deserve to be commended for their ethos of great value for money, brilliant customer service and warm friendliness. We cannot wait to book another stay in 2024.

Family mini break for two plus two four legged furries! What a gem, perfectly located for sand, sea and a cheeky wine or three! Ryan was a first class host and the food is sublime… just be prepared to loosen your belt! Dogs are so...

Millie and Tamsin were amazing, warm, friendly, welcoming and nothing too much trouble. The food was delicious and the room was warm, spotless and with very very comfy beds. We really enjoyed our 2 nights there, and Betty our mini jack Russell was made to feel very welcome 🤗

Good range of menu and hospitable staff

Had dinner here on Saturday and the place has a lot going for it. The restaurant is lovely, the food was very good, although it was just lacking the finishing touches in a few areas to make it outsanding. For instance, scallops with brown and not orange roe in the Roasted Shellfis, cold truffle fries!! The service was for the main part very accomodating and good but again just little things such as speed of service and again the final finishing touches let it down, especially considering the overall cost of a meal there. So very close to a 5 star review but just need to work on service and the little things if I am being honest which I hope will help the restaurant understand what it needs to focus on to be excellent. I will come back and enjoyed the restuarant.
