New Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We were staying nearby and wanted dinner in a dog friendly pub so this ticked the box. From the outside, it looks like a fairly standard village pub. However, the menu was really good, far from pub grub but not gastropub either, just different things using local ingredients. For starters we chose the scallops and prawn bruschetta. I had the fish stew for main which was superb, partners fish pie was very good as well. Service was friendly, what’s not to like? We’ll definitely revisit when next in the area

This was one of our favourite meals when we were visiting last year so we made a point to visit again this year. We booked a table in the conservatory and arrived a little early but were able to be seated straight away. The waitress apologised immediately for any delay in service and let us know there would be a wait for food - no problem at all, and nice to be informed up front. We shared the surf n turf tapas for 2 to start, and had the crab and prawn salad (specials board) and black pudding pan fried scallops for mains - delicious and so filling! There was no room for dessert, but not only a good quantity of food - good quality as well. One minor issue with a piece of tomato in the salad, but hastily resolved and no impact on the meal itself - excellent service. Would definitely recommend a visit here!

The New Inn was recommended by our Airbnb host. It did not disappoint. It was hot and Sunny, so we sat outside. The staff were very helpful and warm. The food was terrific. My wife and I had a Thai red fish curry. Our friends had a fish stew and a Cajun fish burger respectively. The service was excellent. The food arrived in a timely way. The atmosphere was conducive to relaxed conversation and catching up. Honestly I can't fault it. We would all definitely go again if we find ourselves in Par.

Nice Sunday lunch apart from the Yorkshire pudding which was inedible! All 4 of us left it…..come on it’s so easy to make.

Ate here as the hotel we stayed at had a very uninspiring menu. It was so good we came back on the second night as well. Staff were lovely. Good extensive menu.

While staying close by and having had a very expensive, mediocre meal we really liked the look of The New Inn for our next evenings dinner. Everything was delicious, garlic prawns with lovely warm bread, fish pie, pork sausages and mash all with tasty fresh vegetables. While not cheap it was worth every penny !! Thoroughly recommend the New Inn !! On top of excellent customer service 🤩

A really really good Sunday lunch served by friendly and helpful staff. The beef was tender, there were plenty of vegetables, tasty gravy, and it was appreciated that we could choose a small or a large meal. We ate in the sunny conservatory and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We will be back!

On holiday in Loswithial someone recommended this pub and restaurant. I’m so glad they did. We went twice and on both nights the food was so good. Menu is amazing , so much to choose from and all at very good prices I had fish and chips first night and the Belly Pork second night. Chef is clearly excellent. The pork was amazing. All served with fresh vegetables! Nice bright environment and the staff were fabulous. A young crew who were so friendly and ran the service excellently! What a nice change to find a place that is 100% perfect. Well done

Unfortunately for us we only visited on our last night. Lovely pub. Good selection of drinks. Dog friendly. The food was just perfect. Everyone's meal was delicious and as it was half term there was a deal on the kids dinners and they were great value and a generous size. The staff were brilliant and friendly and should we return to the area we will be back here for sure. Please use this pub if you are staying local. You won't be disappointed.

Popped in for an evening meal during a weekend away, booking advised, great atmosphere & very welcoming, there was live music during our visit. We opted for two meals from the main menu, surf n turf and pork belly. Excellent food & good service totalling just over £50 including drinks and a coffee, there is a fair amount of parking nearby. Definitely worth a visit.

the New Inn was close to where we were staying, other reviews were positive so we booked a table online. We originally booked for Friday eve, not knowing there was a band on that evening. The Inn called to let us know (which is really great proactive customer service!!) so we moved our booking to Saturday eve instead. Staff were lovely, food was good, with really generous portions. if we were local we'd definitely eat there again.

We found this pub by chance while staying nearby and had an enjoyable time with the friendly locals. The food was good and the gas fire kept us warm on a wet November day.

Wow! We were a family of 6 and every one had an amazing meal. I highly recommend the Pepper Steak - one of the best I have had!

Nice traditional pub at the front with light and airy restaurant area at the rear. Staff friendly, polite and efficient. The food was very good quality, cooked well. The most delicious onion rings I've ever had, definitely not out of the freezer. Reasonably priced too. No car park but on street parking was easy enough in October, may not be so easy in the height of summer.

We are staying at a hotel nearby for a week and decided to go out for an early dinner today. This was the closest pub and seemed very pleasant, welcoming with a lovely large beer garden to enjoy the late sunshine. The menu and daily specials board were appealing and not overwhelming like so many are. My husband and I shared a double tapas to start which was delicious. I ordered a carbonara from the specials board and my husband ordered the pork belly for mains. Half way through the starter I realised I would struggle to manage a main meal so asked if I could cancel my carbonara only if it wasn’t too late. The staff were attentive and polite and after checking with the kitchen, confirmed that it wasn’t a problem to cancel. My husbands pork belly main arrived which looked like a dish you’d expect from a Michelin Star restaurant and it didn’t disappoint… I can definitely say that it was the most delicious pork belly dish we’d ever tried. Absolutely perfect 👌 we’re definitely going back again a few times in the next week that we’re here and will be back in the future.

Friendly staff, amazing food, plenty of choice and a huge beer garden for sunny days - top pick! We booked as we weren't sure whether it would be busy or not - we could have got a table on spec as it turns out, but it did get busy and we were able to choose which room to be seated in (we chose dining room, but on seeing it we asked if there was space in the conservatory instead and they were happy to seat us there - so light and airy in there). Food was fantastic - really. A good range on the standard menu and a huge board of specials. We had the surf n turf tapas for 2 (main menu), followed by scallops and sausage & mash (both specials) and it was flawless. We visited here after a trip to the Eden Project - an easy commute from one to the other, maybe 15 or so minutes by car. On street parking was available.

The New Inn is welcoming, spacious with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It is spotlessly clean. The waitress, Christina I think I heard her say on the phone, was efficient and delightful. There was a wide ranging menu. We had Mediterranean vegetables with grilled halloumi and Vegetable stir-fry. They were excellent.

Great traditional British pub great ales and great food highly recommended. Staff have a very nice manner and offer great service we will definitely be visiting sgss as in thanks

We visited for a Father's Day Sundsy lunch. Completely stunning roast dinners were devoured by us all. The staff were amazing & couldn't do enough for you. Would advise booking. We will be back!

We had heard that this was one of the rare pubs in Cornwall that had Bass on tap. We had to make a 20 minute diversion to get there so to be sure I rang and was assured by a lady that Bass was indeed available. So we drove there and enthusiastically entered the bar with a big Bass sign- “Two pints of Bass please” Sorry we don’t have bass it ran out yesterday said the bar man. I said I had rung and confirmed just 20 mins ago that you had it on and we have come a long way. That cut no ice, ‘she should have checked with me’ he said. I’ve got Proper job. No apology, no have some nuts on us, no nothing- we walked out and retraced our steps. So the customer care is terrible. David

Nice menu with a great selection of food. Presented and tasting lovely. Proper village pub with a great beer garden. Steve and his team will take care of you and deliver great customer service.

We visited the New Inn for Sunday Lunch. The staff were friendly and attentative , nothing too much trouble. We had ordered the small Sunday lunch as we are older and not big eaters. The food was amazing and not stinted in amount on the plate. I would recommend this pub to anyone and would make it a regular place to eat if we lived nearby (a bit too far to come from Cambridge).

Pub was very quiet, staff seemed a little strange” food took a while to come out, but the food was absolutely delicious, no one came to ask if we needed a drink/if the food was ok, but overall it was good food and a decent dine out

Went for Father's Day. Roast was fantastic. Hot and tasty. Fab puddings. Great service and a relaxed atmosphere. Will be back soon

After a very disappointing Wednesday at a 'top class ' beachside restaurant came here hoping for something even marginally better. But The New Inn outshine all expectations. The surf n turf starter and scallops were superb. The sardines and steak pie were cooked to perfection....

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere with full attention from the fabulous waitresses Ally and Mattie. They are such an asset to The New Inn. Thank you ladies ❤️

We were directed here from Trenython Manor where we were staying for a few days. On the nights that we didn't wish to eat there, the hotel's reception staff generously steered us to this very good pub in Tywardreath, a mile or so down the...

Excellent food. Mussels were great and also the mackerel. There’s a great beer garden too. Lovely atmosphere. Steve and Christian were very nice and friendly too. A great evening. We’ll be back!!

Our lovely local pub! I often bring my son for dinner as he loves the jelly and ice cream dessert and it makes him happy every time! This evening we arrived for a drink and ended up having dinner without booking, nothing was a problem...

We didn't have a booking, just walked in for lunch. Staff were friendly, lovely room and conservatory out the back of the pub. Menu had something for everyone, ranging from kids meals and jacket potatoes to mussels and steak. All very reasonably priced. They were...

Great pub for dinner in Par Cornwall.Excellent value and delicious food. Great cheerful service. Huge lovely garden.

Great atmosphere, food and service, would definitely recommend. We went for a family Sunday lunch and it was perfect

Service was great friendly staff all round, food was good how ever chips were not the best but that's a minor thing as the rest of the meal was plenty to fill a person up

WOW - what great value. I ordered the small roast dinner which was plenty for me and so tasty. Staff friendly and a lovely pub. I will definitely return when I'm next in the area.

My family and grandchildren booked in for Sunday lunch today. The roast dinner was amazing, the veg was all a bit special, roasted and a huge dish of cauliflower cheese. I had the beef and it was delicious. My grandchildren had child portions which were...

A nice village pub with good food and live music, friendly service, and the food was presented well and tasted great. A very popular venue when there’s a band, advisable to book a table.

My wife and I called in for lunch whilst out cycling today. There was plenty of room in the garden for the bikes, the staff were friendly and the food came quickly and was great. Would definitely recommend.

Went for an evening meal with a group of friends and could not fault the service or the food. Very good portions, nothing worse than not feeling like your getting value for money. I had the beef burger that was very tasty with lovely homemade...

Went here for lunch today.last Minute booking. Nice polite staff.good food 2nd visit Will be back Had beef stew and special Sausage.bacon and leek casserole

These blokes think that putting their traditional bass beer up by 50p a pint and 30p on a half literally overnight is acceptable. Taking the pi@s and clearly trying to get rid of what is traditionally a must drink in this pub. SHAMEFUL!

A small village traditional pub with a top notch bistro hidden at the rear. We have eaten there twice this week and couldn’t fault it. The mussels and chips starter is nearly a main meal in itself. Plump Fowey mussels in a wine and cream...

Mussels... Utterly perfect in every way, fresh from the Fowey River, and cooked to perfection. Olives and oils... Divine, my wife had Calamari that was the best I've tasted outside Spain, and Cauliflower and brie soup that was 'just right'. For a pub in a...

Had lunch here and was absolutely delighted. We had the best pub food since we started touring the UK over 6 months ago. You will not be disappointed.

We booked for Sunday Lunch and found it to be one of the best we have ever had when eating out. The food was plentiful, tasty and well cooked and it was so good we went back the next day for lunch with friends and...

Always a nice pint and venue, with usual hardworking staff. Menus had a revamp if I’m not mistaken. Hopefully the rest is better than the veggie burger. Replaced with a beetroot & halloumi monstrosity. Have you tried it chef?! Dry, tasteless, mush. Not pleasant. And...

After following the pub’s Facebook page, we decided to suggest visiting for a family members birthday (due to the varied menu). We booked for 6.15 on a Friday and were sat in the conservatory. We ordered a few starters to share between the seven of...

My friend and I had an excellent Sunday Roast but of my what a shock to pay £4 for a mediocre weak cappuccino. It wasn't even Barista!! In future I'm going to ask the price of coffee!!

Wasn't really expecting much from this unassuming pub, but the food served in the evening was very good.

Had such a great evening here. The food was fantastic, I had pork belly and could have licked the plate, all our meals were amazing and the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. The outdoor beer garden has a huge covered area with a...

It has taken me 10 years to find a roast out that firstly is amazing!!!! And secondly that is good value!!! I can’t rate new inn enough and will definitely be coming back with my friends soon!!! Staff and owners are so friendly and make...

Great food, made all the better for being able to sit outside in the garden with the beautiful sunshine. Highly recommend.

Proper traditional English pub at the front of house with the most lovely locals. My husband and I went for dinner and got talking to the locals for 1.5 hrs before we to dinner 🙏🏽😊 The food was served in a beautiful conservatory over looking...

We visited the New Inn by invitation as they were organising and hosting a sea shanty day to raise funds for the RNLI. The pub employed an excellent sound engineer and provided hospitality for all performers. Communication with the pub prior to the event was...

As a Coeliac I often get a choice of two, or none. Here they brought me the gluten free menu which had most of the same meals as the main menu which was so refreshing. Food was very good we all had different meals. Enjoyed...

We found The New Inn whilst searching for somewhere to have lunch after visiting Readymoney cove. We were greeted by really welcoming, attentive staff and a fantastic menu selection. The staff were very accommodating of our toddler, even offering to make separate items from the...

Had the pulled pork baked potatoes, and my partner had the tuna, with the homemade coleslaw and salad absolutely delighted with the range of flavours we enjoyed. Also excellent real ales served in the bar. 👍

Absolutely top notch, thank you. A fab evening, from the very friendly welcome, cosy atmosphere, to the wonderful food. I had the best gnocchi I have ever tasted. Everything was delicious and perfect. We were offered a table near the fireplace in the lounge, as...

After reading good comments I suggested to family that we book. We turned up on time looking forward to a drink and nice meal together. On entering the pub there was no one behind the bar! 2 others had apparently already been waiting 10 mins....

We popped in for dinner on Valentines night while staying at the Trenython Manor Hotel a couple of miles up the road, mainly because the hotel wasn’t serving food and the New Inn was the closest pub. We phoned in the afternoon to book a...

Booked for Valentine’s Day hoping for a special evening. Inexperienced eating staff. Had to wait 15 mins to be offered a drink. Another 35 mins for a starter then 35 mins for a main. All tables the the restaurant had similar wait times. Starter was...

A couple of our chums work near here, so we all popped in for dinner. What a grand pub, well kept beer, the chap at the bar who was on top form. We ate in the conservatory, food splendid, they were able to accommodate gluten...

Amazing Sunday lunch, all the food was very hot and very tasty, one of the best Sunday lunches we have had, we will certainly be back!.

We were looking for a warm friendly pub to have lunch at on a cold wintery day. We were not disappointed. My mum had the small modules, which were a really good portion, and the sauce was delicious. I had a ciabatta that cam with...

Sunday roast lunch for four: three pork, one nut roast, served at table. Generous portions, all excellent, with accompanying vegetables beautifully cooked. Nut roast deliciously moist, and a far cry from the bland overcooked dish too often on offer elsewhere. Smooth, efficient and friendly service....

Featured in the Good Beer and Good Pub guides. We were brought here by an article in the Daily Telegraph about local celebrity chef James Strawbridge who praises this pub. A locals' village pub. Unpretentious, great food and range of real ales. Log fires and...

We were staying in the village for 2 nights and ended up having dinner here one night and stopping in for some wine and dessert on our second night. The staff are very polite & friendly, the pub is charming and has a wonderful open...

We were recommended The new Inn and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff, Lots of choice on the menu, the fish pie was to die for, we will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to Cornwall.

I thought the mussels were great on a previous visit….this time I tried the belly pork. Oh my…. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! It was cooked to perfection, with a gorgeous sweet sauce. Would definitely have this again and again.

We had several meals at the Inn. They were excellent and th staff were very helpful and efficient. No extra service charge included onto the bills unlike most restaurant which was excellent. We would recommend it.

Being a group of 11 + dog limited our options, on a wet and windy night, and we ended up plumping for the New Inn as we have eaten there a few times and been impressed. We sat in the covered outside, Intent, area and...

Went to pub at 2.17pm last Wednesday. Gentleman at bar waiting. No staff. After several minutes I asked gentleman if he had been served. He said no. After waiting several more minutes the the gentleman went walkabout. He came back saying someone would be there...

The food was amazing, we would highly recommend. Parking is a slight issue and it is advisable to book, especially in busy times because the restaurant is quite small. Would highly recommend.

Lovely food, great friendly service what more could you want? Great menu with lots of choice. Only just over the road from where we stayed and was a real find.

We have eaten here twice in the last few months and the food has been delicious both times, clearly fresh and good size portions. A slight wait both times but they were very busy and we can see why. not only great food but good...

We went here for an evening meal mid-September as we were staying in the area. The food was not good. We both had Whitebait for a starter and they were covered in a very thick crust (not a dusting) and were as hard as nails...

Had a lovely meal at The New Inn this evening. I had the sirloin, which was cooked to perfection. My husband had the bangers and mash. We both thoroughly enjoyed our main course sitting in the conservatory area where it was light and bright. The...

Unfortunately we waited 45 mins for a shared Bouillabaise which cost £33 for two. When it arrived it was a tiny portion, and looked like a portion for 1 person, it had very little soup and did not look particularly appealing. We did ask if...

Really good food and very generous portions. Don't bother ordering sides. Welcoming if you have a dog. Highly recommend

Booked for 7pm but arrived early and we were accommodated straight away. Nice atmosphere with background music. Very busy the night we were there but staff were friendly and helpful with our dietary questions. Food was really good, especially the sticky toffee pudding :)

Wonderful food, great vegetarian options, wonderful hospitality and a lovely garden with background music playing making for a brilliant afternoon. Thank you very much I will visit again soon

Much improvement under new management, fantastic beer garden with a marquee and bbq, came for food one Sunday and was not disappointed, one of the best roasts in a long time. Good prices too. 👌

Me and my partner live locally and have never seen this place run so well. The service is friendly, fast and very efficient. The menu is the perfect size with plenty of options, yet avoiding an hour of decision making for people like myself with...

I used to love the new inn and in the past have given rave reviews. It was my favourite place to eat because it was faultless. so I was very disappointed on this trip. I pre booked 4 evening meals as we were staying 6...

My SIster and I had a great meal on 19th August 2021. I had the Cornish Boullibaisse and sis had a seafood salad. They provided gluten free chips for her and we also both had meringue for dessert. Great food,. Meur ras!

The food and service in this pub has always been good and why we returned this week. However after arriving at a pre-booked table to be told there is already at least an hour wait for food with the reason that they’re just really busy (not a power or oven failure) just tells me they’re not managing their capacity for delivering service. In current seasonal busy times a 30 minute delay for a pre-booked table would have been tolerated, but to be told ‘at least an hour’ (with that uncertainty) is not acceptable and we left with our money. I have sympathy with establishments wanting to recoup losses during Covid-19 by optimising on high numbers of ‘staycationers’ but don’t take table bookings if you can’t or won’t manage volumes which result in unacceptable service times. I’m a local and will think twice about returning.

The food was excellent, couldn’t be faulted, and the young staff were polite and professional, and obviously well trained. Only disappointment was having an hours wait for our food. To be fair we’d been told there was a delay in the kitchen on arrival, but no ongoing updates about how long the delay would be. Would still highly recommend this place, just be patient!

You've got to give credit when it's due . Been twice previously and on both occasions good it would be over an hours wait for food once on arrival and after 40 minutes sat there.This time was undeniably better. I was not told to **** off by any member of staff ( last time by the indomitable rachel) when we complained and no threats of assault by local yokels (when I complained to the brewery I was told that customer was going to assault me ) . The woman in there who swears a lot also backed Rachel up ,well she should know.Anyway on with the positives went in the garden and was served promptly , food arrived , third time lucky and was pretty good. So moving up on the scale of 1 to 5 . No assaults,swearing at customers so a vast improvement. Well done all !

Friendly staff, nothing is to much trouble.Short wait on food, but we were informed about this on arrival. So kept well informed, and who doesn't like a good chat over drinks with friends or family.The food was fabulous, burger, Tuna, belly pork and fish and chips all very tasty and the tuna was cooked to perfection.Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the New Inn

Easy to get a table outside with no booking, pleasently surprised by the space in garden and looks lovely, order was taken very quickly an didn't have wait long before we had our drinks an food which was red hot an delicious, cooked an presented beautifully, staff were all very polite friendly an helpful, will definitely be returning, would pay this all day everyday, went home fat an full, also were both chefs so we know good food when we have it,the cauliflower cheese was bang on, thank you keep up the good work!

We were on holiday on a farm in the village of Tywardreath., and booked for our meal.The food was brilliant, we had a shared platter of fish, which was huge and included two large macral, the meal was delicious and price very reasonable. Staff were really nice and helpful. We shall be going again when down that way again. My brother will be in St Austel in a little while and i have recommended this Inn to him.

Eaten at this venue many times and never been disappointed,in fact quite the opposite. Lovely ambience, our favourite is the conservatory but anywhere in the various locations is fab. The food is of the highest standard with a very varied menu. There pork belly is amazing and our family have decided that the sticky toffee pudding is the best EVER. Always a warm welcome and very attentive staff.

Lovely place. Friendly staff - service very efficient. We had booked a table in the conservatory which was really nice. Food was great. Highly recommended

This was at the end of a fortnight walking in Cornwall, during which we'd been frankly disappointed by too many similar menus that did not take advantage of the sea. Not so, The New Inn! The menu gave loads of choice and played to regional strengths. I had Fowey River Mussels for starters and they couldn't be fresher. Nice straightforward, clean decor. Good beer too.

We went to this Inn to avoid all the packed tourist places ,I had not been for many years and had a delicious lunch ,a really generous crab and prawn salad ,we returned and again a delicious lunch ,the menu is varied and quality of food very high ,apparently the Sunday roasts are very good .A really great place in a very pretty village .

Booked for a Monday evening to dine in conservatory. Arrived about 15 minutes early but not a problem and shown to our table quickly. Young staff very attentive and drinks ordered and arrived promptly. Usually pub style range on menu with daily specials. We both had steaks which were cooked to our requirements. Onion rings were lovely - not the usual frozen kind. We both had desserts which were big and filled us up. All in all we would eat there again and would recommend.

Tonight the service by the young members of staff was perfect, the timing was spot on (despite the restaurant being very busy) and every plate of food brought to our table of six was greatly appreciated. Our plates were sent back empty. Thank you to the staff at the New Inn - we had a very enjoyable evening out. Btw, my husband and I are also in the hospitality business in the area and understand the pressures that the sector currently faces. With limited or no affordable accommodation available to staff, many businesses are relying on local youngsters to fill job vacancies. They’re learning on their feet, under the considerable pressures of Covid restrictions as well as the unprecedented number of visitors to Cornwall. Given the situation, they’re doing a fantastic job, keeping our county’s cafes, restaurants and bars running. It saddens me to read people complaining about their efforts. Please consider the strains the sector is under just now in Cornwall, and PLEASE be kind.

Fantastic lunch in the sunshine. Food was well cooked and presented. We had a vegetarian platter and a seafood platter, plenty for two on each. Beautiful pint of Bass to complete a lovely visit.

We had a wonderful visit here on a busy Friday evening. We sat outside in the spacious beer garden which is great when visiting with children. The food was absolutely delicious and great big portions that left us all feeling extremely satisfied. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Will be returning soon.

First of all I`d like to comment on the food but unfortunately I can`t. We visited twice last week, both booked at 6.30 as a family of four, so no food after waiting an hour.You can see on the other reviews that this is a common problem even by the customers which were lucky enough to get any food at all! So on the Sunday we left no apology , nothing.A common approach in tripadvisor replies is to ask the customer to give the establishment a second chance so we duly did on Thursday night. Booked again for a family of four.Arrived initially table was wrong but the barperson sorted that out (more of her later !)Waited as last time this time for 40 minutes and then was told there was an hours more wait for food. When management say that they strive to sort out complaints that is the nub of the issue. They do not, instead of sorting the tickets out so the food arrived on time I was told by a junior member of staff that that they willing to do nothing. (Like previous reviews by others) I then saw the landlord who became abusive to me saying that I should get out , which then unbelievably culminated in the bar person shouting "if you don`t like it you can f k off" Which we did of our own accord. I don`t see why customers you raise legitimate complaints should be met with a landlord who is clearly abrogating his responsibilities by sending junior members of staff to sort out fundamental service problems and members of staff who shout "f k off" at customers who simply should not under any circumstances be employed in the hospitality industry.We are not the only customers who have once again be let down by you as not being able to serve food on time is a common issue and in 35 years of going to pubs have never been spoken to in such a disgusting way off by a member of staff . So to sum up over an hours wait on two occasions, no food, raised a complaint and told to "f off"!
