Lanivet Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

A great lunch at the Lanivet Inn. Only my second 10 out of 10 given this year. Great quality food, great cooking, excellent service and fair prices. Many thanks.

Great kids Halloween party lots to do for kids great food. Kids enjoyed all the fun. Perfect party. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Our child was dairy free and they got stuff in special so he could enjoy the party food too which was great selection for all children.

We attended here for a 90th Birthday. The tables were well laid an set up for the large group. The food was good and brought out quickly,so it was still nice and hot. Everyone commented the food was good. We had a wonderful welcome staff wonderful,Thank you all.

Just had a wonderful meal at lanivet inn. The food is exceptional and well worth the money. I found Ryan who waited on us very attentive and when my daughter’s meal came out he recognised there was no cheese in her burger before we did and rectified this straight away. The staff are very friendly and the whole atmosphere was welcoming and we will be booking again this week. Have a disabled mother and when I rang them and spoke to Ryan he couldn’t be more helpful and placed us where it was easy for my mum to get around

Ell and team were fantastic . The lovely young waiter was professional and very pleasant ( sorry forgot your name ) Thank you for a wonderful meal after a small blip with menu .

Visiting from Windsor and not knowing the area at all we visited for drinks and food on Friday night. Very impressed with food and drinks with the added bonus of a Guitarist/singer called Josh. Our servers were great and looked after us well, didn’t get their names sorry but both young guys did a fantastic job thanks! Will come back in July when next in Cornwall. 😊

We visited here on our way back to Devon and we are so glad we did! The food was INCREDIBLE and both staff members were polite and friendly. We were also impressed with their lunchtime deals with drinks, making our food much more affordable than we expected for proper pub food. I only wish the weather was warmer as they had a gorgeous beer garden at the back that looked incredibly inviting! Thank you

Visited this place whilst holidaying at Bodmin holiday park and ended up eating here most nights, very good menu choice, excellent food, excellent and friendly staff, would highly recommend, it’s a must visit if your in the area.

Easy to find .ie: on main road. Easy access, ample car park and dog friendly. Lovely staff, brilliant large menu. Food wonderful. Good value for your money. We always make a point of taking our visitors to this venue as we know we won't be let down!

Excellent home cooked food with lively atmosphere. Homemade fish pie delicious, fabulous crumble! Service was really friendly. Lots of locals and families, always a good sign.

We came to bodmin holiday Park and booked the Saturday and Sunday evening here to eat. There was so many choices in the menu we didn't know what to choose. we all had something different and ended up jealous of each other's foods. We all really enjoy our meals and we were not disappointed with the roast on the Sunday either. Very filling portions. Staff are super friendly too, definitely need to book as people were getting turned away!!

We stayed in Bodmin overnight in readiness for a family event the next day and had a meal here the night before. It’s a really friendly pub with a vibrant atmosphere great service and good value food.

The pub is quite spacious inside and caters well for people with different diets (vegan, gluten free). The food was very good and service friendly. Good selection of drinks. They accommodated a large group of us at short notice which we really appreciated as the nearby Premier Inn where we were staying let us down for dnner service.

My husband and I stopped at the Lanivet Inn on the way to Bodmin. We had a cheese and coleslaw sandwich, with a side of fries and scampi and chips, as well as a couple of pints. It was all very tasty, no complaints.

Lovely roast lunch, cosy with log burner. Will return but I did find it difficult to track down, satnav didn’t tell me it’s in pedestrian area!

Fantastic Meal, staff very helpful especially Welsh Rob. We went for a Birthday treat, they accommodated our own Birthday Cake.

We had an excellent meal and our waiter Rob Welsh was friendly and welcoming. Amazing definitely coming back. Will recommend to friends.

Found this by accident as we don't know the area. The landlord? Was very helpful as all tables were reserved, seating is on a good table with Hou and half to eat meal!! Food excellent! Service good too, thank you guys! Would recommend.

A local pub for local people. We pooped by for lunch the food was nice, service satisfactory and the decor tired. After seeing this pub topping the review table we stopped by for lunch, the pub is more of a tired restaurant. Although it has a wood burning heater, there is no comfy seats yo retire to after your meal and chat. The feel is that of a canteen more than a delightful country pub. Don't expect great things and you won't be disappointed.

Was very disappointed with the quality and quantity of food, I had the small Sunday roast of turkey with stuffing and the person I was with had the medium turkey with stuffing, I got 1 small slice of turkey and other person got 3 small pieces, the roast potatoes were just like boiled potatoes that had spray light oil stuff on then then just browned off to make them look crunchy when in fact they were just like soft boiled potatoes, the cauliflower cheese was as hard as bullets and didn't taste nice at all, the brocoli (3 tiny bits) were like baby mushy food, the Yorkshire puds were not only hard but were flat like a pancake and the miniscule amount of stuffing was rock hard and burnt in places. We did have a pudding which was ok but the chocolate fudge cake was tad crunchy on edges. Over all was very disheartened with the cost of the meal, doubt we'll be back again sorry

This pub was very average apart from an excellent bar attendee called Welsh Rob. When we arrived Rob was excellent and took great care in making sure we got everything we needed. He was professional and brought class to this very average/below average pub. He also ensured we were happy with our meals (which was average pub food) but the service from Rob made up for this.

This pub is well worth a visit if you’re in the area! The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. The menu is extensive, we opted for a grazing starter (3 tapas style dishes) which was great, Belly Pork and Black Bream for mains, and a Baileys cheesecake for dessert. All were very tasty! The service from everyone was perfect, especially Welsh Rob! The pub was very busy, with it being a Saturday night, and with a couple of big parties, but the wait was worth it. Definitely a recommended restaurant!

Excellent food and service. Very friendly and service by Welsh Rob.. Very reasonable quality food. Well worth a visit.

Visited the Lanivet Inn today for family celebration. This place never fails to impress .The food is Delicious such great value for money .anthe staff are so friendly and make you feel so welcome especially Welsh Rob , Can't praise enough .

A lovely atmosphere with excellent friendly service by Welsh Rob. Large portions and delicious food for the whole family.

Had a lovely birthday/retirement meal at this lovely traditional pub. My wife and I had the liver. Daughter and grandsons , 7 and 3, had the Fish and chips, sausage and chips, nuggets respectively. Landlady took some photos for us. Thank you Recommend

Superb food, great atmosphere , good selection of ales & cider, food delivered piping hot & of quality ..thanks to rob for his excellent attentive service ...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great service and fabulous food. We were a party of 16 and all food came out the same time. A big thank you to Welsh Rob who served us throughout the night, he made our night extra special. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Went here for valentines day, we had a really good time staff,food and drink is really good. Definitely would recommend.

Great Winter Special Menu, love the mushroom starter. Proper food, proper portions. Lovely staff. Always cosy and warm. You can’t go wrong.

Friendly pub with great Sunday roast. Ideal for families, you can choose small medium or large portions and kids meals available too.

Was greated by a very obnoxious Welsh bar man , my friend went in from the garden to get another expensive drink to be told to bring her glasses in before getting another drink

What a fabulous evening we all had on Sunday 14th January 2024. Lanivet Inn hosted an evening with Johnny Cowling and ticket price included a roast and drink of your choice. Food was delicious and plentiful, a nicely presented G and T and lots of...

The Panda, aka Lanivet Inn, is as adorable as the name suggests! Plentiful, quality food, straight from the kitchen, served quickly, by excellent waiting staff! Quick and easy to pay, which always makes it easier. We love it!

Great country pub, generous portions, the apple and berry crumble was amazing. Thanks Welsh Rob for a great night!

The food, service and atmosphere at the Lanivet Inn were spectacular. Welsh Rob was fantastic in looking after us. Dietaries were no problem at all and in fact they found creative ways to create a potential dessert when they thought the standard dairy free option...

Excellent service from (WELSH ROB) 10/10 service from the guy, would recommend the place to anyone!x

We visited several times during our week in Lanivet. Each time, it was busy, mostly with locals, who were all very friendly towards us "emmits". The atmosphere was lively, the decor nicely seasonal and we soon wished we had a local pub like this one....

Good food, friendly staff and dogs are welcome too! Nice friendly atmosphere, just off the A30 and worth a visit. Good selection of drinks and food.

Famtastic staff, wonderful food and a very warm welcome. Loved it and will be back! Ell and the team are fantastic! Thank you for a super evening....

Thought we had booked a Christmas dinner but there evidently was a mix-up. Instead most of the group opted for roast dinners which were amazing. The starters were lovely and some of the group even managed a dessert. As a goodwill gesture we were given...

Despite booking the table and providing the friends and family choices for the Christmas Dinner on 17/12 when we arrived the Christmas Booking was 'lost' and the Christmas menu was not offered. Ended up staying and having the Sunday dinner menu - food was good...

We booked a table for two as a birthday meal, I recommended the Inn as been before and all good. However not on this visit. The restaurant was empty apart from one other table when we arrived. We were seated at the back away from...

Ell and the team were fab - really friendly and attentive. Perfect pub evening meal - atmosphere was super easy going and cosy, everything was really clean, and the food was delicious (very generous portion sizes). We frequent often. :D

Very good quality food in great village pub, wide menu starters were traditional but the half pint of prawns were unusual and I enjoyed a large well cut gammon steak, my wife an excellent steak. Most impressive were the Christmas decorations and involvement of the...

My wife is Celiac, so always difficult to find good food, however Lanivet Inn did us proud😋, great atmosphere with service to match. Welsh Rob is a credit to the premises, polite,attentive and mannerly. A fantastic team providing excellent meals. Oh and the desserts are...

Not sure I can see the appeal! OK so we were a little early for our booking at 5pm, but were greeted by 2 chefs outside looking scruffy and smoking - should of turned away at this point, but some people have been praising the...

A ‘spur of the moment’ visit today for lunch. After perusing the extensive menu we made our choices. Welsh Rob was our host, and nothing was too much trouble for him. When he delivered our food it was a very generous serving, it was hot...

We always come for lunch whenever we are in the area and are never disappointed. Amazing food, freshly prepared and a great stmospherw. "WelshRob" did a fabulous job of looking after us. See you next time!

Really friendly pub, with a lovely atmosphere. The service was excellent, Welsh Rob, the manager was a lovely host. The food was amazing. Make sure you are hungry if you go, the portion sizes are massive.

We parked our motorhome here and had a lovely meal and met some lovely people all washed down with good wine and and a few rattler ciders, served by a very pleasant bar man (Welsh Rob) Well priced and home cooked

The friendliness of the staff, from the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile. The menus had good choices and the food was really good Welsh Rob was chatty and made us feel really welcome. Would recommend this pub as every interaction...

Insufficient £ argumentative staff, food returned, when paying the over-charged bill, stating ‘well someone’s got to pay it’ when the food never arrived in the first place!

Met up with some relatives for a Sunday Roast here. I have been for meals with friends before but not their roast (although we did use their delivery during lock down) It was outstanding! There wasn't one part of the meal that I didn't like....

Absolutely lovely little place the staf are really welcoming helpful and friendly, this was the second time in a row we had been there . We didn't book a table but they managed to squeeze us in but to guarantee a table beat book... the...

Called in on the hop for some food on our way back from Lands End Made to feel very welcome We both had Belly Pork, Dauphinois Potatoes, French Beans , Cabbage….it was AMAZING…..best meal I’ve had in a long while

Very friendly atmosphere greeted us. Polite staff took our orders. The meals were excellent and value for money.

It’s not often I leave negative reviews, but I can’t believe that this pub has so many positive reviews, I can only think that I was unlucky. The quality of the food that I had was not what I expected. I ordered the Belly Pork,...

Excellent food in a traditional pub. Made very welcome on arrival by Welsh rob who served us through out our meal with good humour and very efficiently despite the pub being very busy.

Lovely pub, the food was absolutely amazing, dog friendly had a very big covered beer garden which was amazing and the people friendly they made us most welcome. Look forward to a return visit.

Great food lovely staff, Ell was very friendly and helpful. Also dog friendly. Would certainly recommend to anyone visiting the area

Always stop at this pub when visiting Cornwall and have never been disappointed .Service is always good . Fish and chips were lovely as was the loaded fry’s . It’s worth stopping here if you are visiting Cornwall .

Hubby and I had prebooked for lunch. He had fish and chips I had southern fried chicken burger, neither of were disappointed. Quite a relaxed atmosphere plenty of options and space. I drank rattler hus had proper job both fine.

My partner and I came here for dinner as we were staying in Dunmere. We received a friendly welcome as soon as we entered the pub. The restaurant was fully booked, however the lady behind the bar let us sit in the bar area and...

My dad is lactose intolerant and asked the lady ( I think Ell) if the peppercorn sauce was made with cream which it was, so he said he wouldn’t have it, when the meal was served the chef had made a separate peppercorn sauce without...

Half way meet with a friend. Very friendly pub. Three of us had lunch and all enjoyed our choices. Ell and her team looked after us very well. Ell kindly took a photo of us all outside the pub with the Panda sign and explained...

Absolutely amazing service, friendly staff, food was amazing, pay for what you get, and decent portions worth the money! Would definitely go back, and highly recommend!!

We visit the lanivet in every September and have done so for quite a few years. The food is aways excellent and the service we receive is good and very helpful.

Booked a table for 13 of us and we had no complaints whatsoever. The food was fantastic, portion size was brilliant and the options on the menu were perfect. We all visited this pub twice for our evening meal during our week in Cornwall and...

Service appalling. Booked a table arrived and waiting to be seated. And waited. And waited. And left !!! No Acknowledgement from any of the staff. Fortunately there is a fish and chip shop over the road who had a table available. The food was fantastic...

Just brilliant. We turned up Sunday afternoon, no booking and the place was jam packed. They still found us a great table and served up a gorgeous roast quickly, all with a smile. Perfect find.

We found this pub after searching for a local pub with good food and it didn’t disappoint! Lovely pub with good food and a special mention to Welsh Rob for finding us a table and his great hospitality.

Staying at a Holiday Inn for a few nights and the Lanivet Inn was recommended by the receptionist...it didn't disappoint. A lovely covered outside eating area was available if you wanted to sit outside. A good menu selection to suit everyone, our food was delicious...

Went on a Sunday evening, had roast lamb which was excellent, younger members had Mac n cheese, both fussy eaters but all disappeared. It was busy, service took a while but our waiter Welsh Bob was constantly checking on us making sure we were ok....

We booked a week i advance for ten, this was Sunday Roast and our first visit although living in Cornwall all our lives.Lovely staff with several times being asked if things were fine. I was the only one to ask for a large beef and...

Excellent service, perfect meal, added bonus…choir singing, and Welsh Bob, was an excellent barman , we are in a motorhome touring Cornwall, perfect stopover .

Amazing food with lovely friendly staff. Served by Welsh Rob who was great and entertained the kids. Great all round experience and far more than just a village pub. Would highly recommend.

The food was ok, but our server completely ruined the experience. We were never told her name but our young blonde waitress was terrible. She was blunt, unfriendly and will likely cost the owners of this lovely little place alot of repeat business due to...

Very friendly staff (Ell & the team). Food excellent. Came out freshly cooked & well presented. Dogs welcome. Would highly recommend 👍

I cannot think how many meals we have had at Rob's establishment in the past 15years. last nghts fish & chips was not good the fish was dry I thought it had been previously cooked. I will take a lot of convincing to order that...

Despite booking a table, ordering took 1hr 2 mins from when we sat down to delivery of main course with no starters. 1 of 8 meals was cold. One was delayed as they had to re-do it. No offer of compensation even when requested as...

Absolutely fantastic meal and great atmosphere. Thank you so much Ell & her hard working team! 5 stars all the way.

We really enjoyed our meal - mixed grill, a rack of ribs and a cheeseburger. Lovely starters and a delicious pina colada :) great service

Make sure you book!! Fantastic Sunday lunch!! Best I've had since I can't remember. Staff efficient friendly and the food delicious 😋
