New Inn at Veryan in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We stayed 2 nights above the pub. Pub - breakfast was nice, food and drinks was nice, card payment only, this wasn't nice B&B - by mistake we got the wrong room. This wasn't the biggest problem. That this so called double room was tiny, wasn't the biggest problem. The state the room was in, this was a problem!!!!! Bed broken, very dusty, blinds didn't work properly, so there was too much light in the morning, toilet seat lose, bathroom tatty. I was told, the Landlord is leaving soon. But even than, he needs to care for his guest, as long he's in charge!!!!

Lovely friendly pub with delicious and good range of dinner options. Gluten free fish and chips was perfect! Well-cooked fish and curry options were enjoyed. Great puds too! Highly recommended. We’ve eaten here many times over the past few years and never been disappointed in food or service. Top marks!

A lovely, friendly pub. Great service with a real atmosphere. Classic pub food where they went out of their way to create a special meal for our fussy son. Thank u. Top pub and love the 80s play list too

First bad point - we turned up to be greeted by a sign saying ‘CARD ONLY’ - had we had the time to go elsewhere, we would have, but we didn’t so had to stick with it. We won’t support a business that refuses to accept cash. Staff were pleasant enough but despite being an extremely quiet night, there was no effort to make any conversation - a proper village pub requires staff to make the effort to at least have a quick conversation, that makes the difference between a pub and a gastro pub/restaurant. Food was ok, nothing special. Didn’t seem very clean in the pub either, everything was sticky and no attention to detail with the cleaning (or lack of). Hopefully we just caught them on a bad night, but won’t be going back again.

Saturday night and despite no other diners the staff were very entertaining and did quite a few take away orders. Passed the pub on the Sunday and it was really busy. Early season so trade is variable but this was a lovely area and the New Inn well worth a visit.

We had a celebratory birthday dinner at the New Inn on Monday evening. All 11 of the party enjoyed our food, and every plate was cleared. The fresh fish and chips were awesome, and steak pie and rump steak were also highly praised. The friendly, helpful service added to make our evening so special. We are already looking forward to our summer holidays when we will be back to this great country pub

On an early evening walk, dropped in for a break, really welcoming, persuaded to stop for food, nice pub grub and the beer was excellent, locals friendly!

Very good pub food. I had a beef pie which was casserole and a puff pastry on top, rather than technically a pie, but it was so tasty I could overlook the culinary interpretation! Fish and chips were good, nice choice of drinks and pleasant atmosphere and service.

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely home cooked food which is good value. They go over and above to cater gluten free.

I telephoned the New Inn on Saturday evening to book a table and the bar manager went out of way to rearrange tables and fit us in for Sunday lunch. We received a warm welcome and a prompt service. The food was excellent. The meat in the Sunday roast was tender and the portions were generous. One of our family chose a vegetarian option of the sweetcorn fritters and they were crisp and tasty. The desserts were 'out of this world' - especially the homemade cheesecake. We have not visited the New Inn before- even though we live close by, but can strongly recommend it. It was excellent value for money and the Inn definitely had an 'old world' charm to it. We will certainly be returning and will be telling all our friends about it as well. Thank you to all the staff, a wonderful experience

Well run traditional country pub. Good food, prompt and friendly service. And a good choice of real ales. Close to the glorious Pendower beach.

Excellent and quick friendly service, nothing was to much trouble. As it was Friday night the pub was quite busy with locals and holidaymakers so there was a noisy but happy atmosphere. Food came promptly (fish, chips & peas) all good, followed by apple crumble with clotted cream which again was good.

Food was very nice but the service was poor. The meal was so stressful, we cut it short, paid the bill and left. Starter - ordered cheesy garlic bread….. came out, no cheese! Back to the kitchen that went. Mains - one adult meal forgotten and we had to chase numerous times. Turns out the waitress never out the order through properly. The food was home made and it was tasty. Dessert - after already being in the pub two hours, having asked to order desserts and no one coming to take our order, I gave up, went to the bar to pay the bill and left. Such a shame. We visited the same pub, this time last year and unfortunately, a meal was forgotten then too. As a result, we won’t be visiting again.

Excellent lunch here for 12 hungry walkers. We had reserved tables but not pre-ordered food as you have to in some places these days. However we didn’t have long to wait, they arrived piping hot and at the same time. Good choice, reasonably priced and the waitress was lovely. Thank you, we enjoyed it very much!

Great little pub with a host who really cares. Booking is essential to avoid disappointment as the place is very popular. The team catered excellently for myself and my wife. She has to eat gluten free as she has coeliac disease. A range of starters and main courses were available to her with GF bread. All the puddings (if we’d had the space) were also GF. I had nachos and lasagne, she had prawn cocktail and (battered) fish and chips. Compared to the only other time she’s had fish and chips in Cornwall at a well known chefs place these were far superior. Just be warned the village is tiny and parking can be difficult. Don’t let that put you off.

Four of us (and Toby the Labrador) had a lovely meal here. The service was excellent, friendly and welcoming. Food was really lovely, generous sized servings and of a high standard. The ambience was both traditional and totally relaxing. Many thanks to Jo and Finley for making our evening so enjoyable.

Excellent meal and service, host Jo was very busy working solo, nothing was too much trouble. Boodiful

No cash payments ,bar staff rude with attitude and very bad hearing. I had to repeat drinks order and get tuts . Waitress loves looking at herself in the mirror. Bar man belittled local for not being Cornish very loudly ,we didn’t feel comfortable to order or stay any longer than necessary . Would never go back . Yet a few miles to Plume of Feathers at Portscatho ,you get an amazing welcome .

We had eatn at The New Inn when on holiday in October 22. When we visited this time the meal was even better. We both had the rump steak which was on the specials board. The steak was both succulent and cooked to perfection, the chips were sublime and the peppercorn sauce was excellent. We followed this with the beer, butter and marmalade with custard and ice cream. This was probably the best steak meal we had in a long time. Also the meal and drinks were excellent value and the service was good too. Thoroughly recommend this venue if you are in the area.

Stopped off at the New Inn part way through our circular walk around Nare Head and were given a warm welcome and enjoyed good beer Didn’t eat but the menu looked interesting and reasonably priced Next time we will definitely eat

Great food!!! Had probably the best steak pie I’ve ever had! Really tasty, lots of quality meat, great chips. Excellent. Partner had fish and chips which also very very good. Staff excellent, faultless. Good beers. Good wine list. All round a great destination for a meal out and highly recommend.

We turned up just as they were starting to serve food, but hadn’t booked (we could see all tables had reserved signs on them). Despite this, we got a friendly welcome, and we accommodated as one of the booking wasn’t until later. We had the Vegetable Chilli and fish and chips. Both were really nice, the fish especially had a lovely light batter. I opted for a Lemon posset dessert which was just amazing, so creamy! Thank you. We will call again!

We’ve ate here two or three times now and every time it’s been outstanding friendly staff get atmosphere very welcoming and just a lovely feeling has you walk in will definitely be back ❤️ and a big thank you to Finnley and Lou Lou for...

What more can be said. This was our first visit to the pub, although we regularly visit the area from Northampton. Locals were also very warm and friendly. Recomnended for a warm and hearty evening.

Very poor experience, I certainly wouldn't recommend a visit. You will be very disappointed. The service was awful, the landlord and landlady are extremely rude. And made us feel very uncomfortable. As a local person I would like to try and support local pubs but...

Absolutely shocking food. Deep fried, mushy vegetables and on plates too hot to handle. I would not recommend at this time.

Set a little off the beaten track, this pub is well worth a visit. We went for lunch. Sat outside in the shade and feasted on the great food created by their chef. Pickled and then cooked pilchards were amazing. Been here before and will...

The vegetables were over cooked consisting of mainly soggy carrots and one floret of broccoli. The mash potatoes were bland and the whole dish lacked presentation. The portion of haddock was small and lacked flavour..... overall both meals we had were disappointing!

We stayed in Veryan for a week and had a meal and a couple of drinks every day at the dog-friendly New Inn. The staff are welcoming and efficient, the menu is varied and the food is tasty and reasonably priced (be sure to book...

The New Inn was absolutely fabulous when we visited. It is a dog friendly pub, which was very good for us. We ordered the Sunday roast approx 12:30pm and it came out piping hot. The food itself was delicious; the beef was tender and the...

The food is ok and vegetarian options are very limited. The staff and friendly and efficient. Food came quickly. The pub is dog friendly, which I helpful for camping family Holidays. Payment is card only, cash is refused.

We booked a table for 2 on a Sunday night. On arrival, my sister was left standing unacknowledged at the bar - ignored by barman who was tidying behind the bar, landlord who was busy behind the bar, and the waitress who had greeted the...

Traditional pub. Very good service. Great specials board and nice food overall. There wasn’t an option for outdoor dining. It had a few picnic tables at the front of the pub.

Extremely friendly pub. Good menu though didn’t sample any. Most friendly staff I’ve ever experienced. Very dog friendly, constant treats and attention! Only passing through but hope I can come back at some point. Ten star.

Lovely food and the young waitress and waiter are lovely people very well cooked homemade food definitely recommend

Beautiful old pub in a lovely, picturesque village. Slightly off the ‘beaten track’. We popped in as we were staying nearby and they were very accommodating, as we arrived just as they were about to stop serving lunch. The staff were incredibly welcoming and really...

Booked in for Sunday lunch at this typical old fashioned pub with its open fire (and open door for Covid ventilation!) Service was friendly and we all opted for the roast beef (£12 each). The food arrived very quickly and the plates were filled. Vegetables were varied and nicely cooked. However, the centrepiece - the beef - was very well done which made it a little tough. The roast potatoes were ok but the Yorkshire puddings were straight from the packet. Overall, this was just average - had it been cheaper it would have scored well for value but, at this price point, I think you’ll do better at the Rising Sun in St. Mawes for your roast lunch. Won’t be returning.

Went there for lunch today. Fire was lit and it was welcoming and cozy. Food was lovely (just the right amount and a good varied menu). Bar staff was friendly and attentive and service was excellent. We really enjoyed our meal there.

Arrived towards the end of a long walk starting at Pendower beach, via Portloe, only to find the barman has just closed for the afternoon. He must have taken pity on our forlorn faces and poured us a couple of excellent pints of Proper Job, allowing us to sit outside and finish at our leisure. What an hospitable and pleasant young man.

Safety is paramount in this COVID era and the set up here is very good. It was a wet Sunday and the fire was a welcome sight. We were served quickly and made to feel welcome. We had our dogs with us and this was no problem at all. They have a separate area where dogs are not allowed so suits everyone.On to the food. The Sunday lunch was really good. I had beef, my husband had pork and they were both nicely cooked and came with all the trimmings which included lots of different vegetables, which is a must in my book. I would definitely recommend the New Inn. Lovely village pub which welcomes visitors as well as locals.

My wife and I booked for a 12.30 lunch and were warmly greeted and shown to our table.The pub is extremely covid safe, and we felt well protected.My wife had fish and chips which she enjoyed very much.I had the sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection and wonderfully tender, no fatty or gristly bits, I ate the lot. My wife followed with sticky toffee pudding which again she really enjoyed. The chips were wonderful light and crisp.The two young staff members were very friendly and very efficient.Have no hesitation on giving five stars and highly recommended.Dog friendly.

We stayed here for 2 nights from 27/9/20. We were visiting family and needed somewhere close by, we weren’t disappointed. ALL staff were very friendly and efficient, rooms were comfortable and food amazing. Would definitely recommend.

This is lovely unspoilt old pub, full of character. The landlord and staff are doing an excellent job under the current difficult circumstances. Superb ales and very good food.

We enjoyed our meal, especially after driving that day from London! I'd recommend the fish n chips :) They also have a weekly quiz on a Sunday night

We stumbled across this little gem on our holiday. The staff were great, friendly and polite. We had scampi, chips and salad. The scampi was fantastic. 100% would recommend this place and will certainly be looking to go back on our next holiday

Feels like a popular place. Proper home cooked food. Friendly staff. We had haddock and steak and ale pie. All very good.

Can't fault this little gem,many thanks to Colin, Suzanne and all the staff for a warm welcome and great service! "Muy bien!"

We ate here three times during our week long stay in Veryan. The staff are really friendly and accommodating and the food is very tasty. We recommend the fish and chips!

Stayed in the Roseland area and visited this pub twice with the family. Made great steps to make customers feel relaxed depsite the current environment, staff so friendly and food fantastic. Highly recommend and will certainly return.

Lovely food, great value and friendly atmosphere. We visit here every year when we are on holiday and always have a great experience.

So glad the local fantastic pub is reopened. Went there today, Sunday, for a late breakfast. We’re able to sit inside due to the rain showers . Very warm welcome from Colin the Landlord as always . Very relaxing breakfast and service , especially under theses difficult times . Suzanne did us 2 fabulous full breakfasts, bacon and sausages eggs etc all top quality, fresh and perfectly cooked ! Lovey warm crunchy toast served with tiptree preserves and a large cafetière of good coffee . Great value and will be back soon !! They also do excellent evening meals to takeaway too !!

The experience was fine but a little workaday. The food was fine but it wasn’t outstanding. There isn’t much else in the area so just enjoy it for what it is.

This was our lunch stop after a coastal walk nearby. Expectations were high after reading TA, but unfortunately not quite met. The menu offers lots of choice, and the service was friendly but food took an age to arrive and it wasn't especially busy.

Very charming pub, didn’t see any parking when I arrived. Inside pub is beautifully presented with old pub style horse tack and cosy fire. Pub itself is quite small inside but has a lovely cosy feel.Decided to have dinner. I chose the vegetarian chilli and later sticky toffee pudding. Cannot give a higher rating for my food I was really really surprised at how nice it was. Great portion sizes, beautiful taste and hot. Dessert was fantastic too.Only thing that let the pub down in my opinion was the condition of the toilets, it was pretty horrendous, it’s not often you can see the urinals drain from the pipe in to a ground drain. This let down my experience but overall I was very satisfied with the pub, great atmosphere, good food and lovely setting.

Despite being out of season our lunch proved to be a very enjoyable experience. The food, Fish platter, was truly excellent, the atmosphere quiet and comfortable, and the staff very welcoming. Certainly will have a return visit.

Went for a take away and was stung both on the price at £10 and then when we got back the massive portion. Take away at your own peril 😢😤

Lovely little pub . Great service and good food. Dogs welcome. Car parking may be tight in summer but we’ll worth the walk if needed .

Greeted by a friendly landlord and shown to our reserved table. The waitress was helpful with local produced items on the menu. The food was first class. A good selection of wines was also available.

A busy traditional-looking pub, even on a midweek evening, shows how popular the New Inn is, and that is based on excellent cooking. Smaller portions available in some mains, e.g. lasagne (with chips), was a welcome innovation and left a little room for the beer and bread and marmalade pudding. Yum. Pork chunks in the pork and cider pie were cooked to perfection, with the meat pulling apart easily. Good to see locals enjoying a drink at the bar showing all-round appeal.

We had a delicious meal at the New Inn ...very olde worlde inside....very friendly landlord...there were quite a few locals inside which is always a good sign. I would suggest booking a table because even on a Tuesday it was busy! When I’m back in the area again I will definitely return

We stopped here with our e-bikes, they were very friendly and let us charge our bike batteries. A gluten free menu was produced for me (I am Coeliac) I had the smaller portion of mushroom risotto which was lovely, and plenty for me. My husband had a superb fish and chip meal. It was all good quality and value. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful 15th century pub in a beautiful village with many thatched cottages. Had the haddock in batter, tartare sauce, chips and mushy peas, delicious, cooked to perfection. nice quiet country pub, friendly people. Dog friendly too

While staying at a nearby B & B we ate our evening meals at the New Inn, Veryan. It was a good job that we had booked as the place was very busy on the Thursday evening, absolutely packed on the Friday although quieter on the Saturday. I don't know if this was usual or because it was August Bank Holiday.

we stayed at a local B@B and ate at inn on three nights, the food is good quality pub food served with a big smile, it was packed on the friday night so we were glad we booked but the service was great, so a big thanks to all members of the staff

Great Place, Fantastic Food, Lovely Village. Maggies says thanks for her sausage, All the best Spike & Pru & Maggie

Whilst staying three nights in a bed and breakfast we looked around the area for somewhere to eat each evening. We found the New Inn at Veryan but, as a vegan, I wasn't sure whether there would be anything for me to have or that I might feel a bit of a nuisance. That definitely wasn't the case! The New Inn had a separate vegan menu with several choices of mains as well as a vegan soup and desert. I had a different meal each night and they were all delicious. The bar and waiting staff were friendly and welcoming and we really enjoyed eating here. My husband (not vegan) also gives it five stars! Thank you!

Stayed at the pub and have eaten there quite a few times. Purely lovely pub with fantastic food and wonderful landlord/landlady. It is a village pub at its best !!!! I actually cannot fault this delightful pub and have the pleasure of being in Veryan regularly now so will have many visits whether for food or staying there.

Stayed at Gloweth B&B; recently, Karen our host recommended this place. Its a great village inn, good choice of beers, extensive food menu, all good value for money. Staff all friendly and very efficient, lovely way to round off a days exploring.

50 years ago this summer I spent several months of callow youthfulness working at a hotel near Pendower beach (now apartments), before going up to Uni. After our evening shift we'd totter across the beach and up the lanes to Veryan to sink few at the New Inn (then very much the local boozer).

We visited this little pub when we first arrived into veryan, very busy and we needed to book as it gets full quickly so the next night we booked and had a wonderful meal, lovely character pub and always busy. The food was great and we enjoyed it.

We ate here for 3 nights last weekend. The staff were really friendly and accommodating, the food choice was excellent and the meals themselves were really well presented hot and delicious. Beer was excellent and wine reasonably priced. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings.

We stopped off here while on holiday today, I have an allergy to dairy and they catered for it brilliantly and we're very helpful and attentive. My family and I enjoyed our meals which were perfectly portioned and well priced. The staff were really friendly and made the experience even better. We will be returning again and recommend a visit.

Great atmosphere, friendly jovial staff, very accomodating of food allergies. Food very good and well presented, good memu selections, value for money, would recommend to others and will definitely return

Really enjoyed our dinner of , fresh local fish , new potatoes and fresh vegetable and of goats cheese tart, tasty, well presented, friendly, warm , helpful staff. Felt very at home. Like most pubs if you’re a wine drinker, the selection is ‘pub wine’ quality. Ok but not great. The beers were good . We really felt at home. The chips could be better,

Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly accommodating staff. Delicious food. Plenty of choice. Some great local draught ales on tap. Quiet peaceful location and just opposite the Elerkey Guest House ( which we would also recommend!)

Veryan is a gorgeous village and the New Inn is at the heart of the community. We were lucky to come here at a perfect time of year just outside the hoards descending and on a sunny day. What struck me the moment I opened the door was the fire burning; it was keeping the pub warm which makes such a difference. A chilly pub early evening is just not very inviting whereas the New Inn is very inviting in every way especially being served and greeted by lovely Tam. Everyone is very friendly and the food is really good too. We loved our prawn cocktails and my lamb tajine was yummy. Portions are generous. We will definitely come here again. There is also a really good phone signal

We had a family evening meal for 7 and it was throughly enjoyed by everyone from a 6 year old to Grandparents. Amazing table service with pipping hot food. I would recommend the beef and ale pie !

The New Inn is all that a country pub should be. There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the beer is good. Old photographs and interesting artefacts decorate the walls. The generous helpings of fish and chips were delicious as was the beer, marmalade and bread pudding. Service was excellent. It was a very satisfying evening. We felt well fortified for the mile walk along the lane under the stars.

Having driven by a few times, we decided to book here for Sunday lunch. Its a lovely traditional pub. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The Sunday roast was very good. I tried the Beer, bread and marmalade pudding, a first for me, and it was very good. Would recommend. The only down-side is parking the car. We were lucky and got a space opposite.

A stop in Cornwall not far from a campsite I was staying you will find this Place, it does Bed & Breakfast or passing trade, in this very small village of about 400 or so, the Ale is kept well and the food is also good quality and a small or large potions depending on how much hunger you have. Nice locals to chat for any history and a Beach, Post office and Art Gallery all within 100 yards of this fine lovely new Inn.

We first visited this inn last year and were very impressed with the location, atmosphere and friendliness of the staff and locals and decided then and there that we would return in the future and stay. As we were visiting friends in Truro this week, it was the perfect opportunity to stay and sample the inn's hospitality and we booked in for a night. The whole experience was delightful, the room was comfortable and well-equipped and the evening meal was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable, This, in addition to an excellent breakfast and the thoughtful care from our hosts was the icing on the cake. We will certainly return in the future.

My wife and I stopped for lunch today and were not disappointed. We have visited before and had good meals so our revisit has just reinforced our praise.

Went for an evening meal. My husband had the sea bass special which he enjoyed and I ordered the fish pie. Unfortunately the pie had 3 very small prawns and 1 tiny piece of white fish. The flavour was okay but disappointed by the lack of fish.

We stopped at New Inn for lunch in the middle of what turned out to be a 10 mile walk around Nare Head and on to Portscatho. The fish and chip meal was just what we needed to sustain us. The fish was fresh and coated with a lovely, light beer batter and the chips were perfectly cooked. We requested salad instead of peas which were on the menu and we received a beautifully presented fresh salad. The staff were friendly, polite and welcoming. We will be going back.
