Old Albion Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Fantastic pub, the food was delicious and they were fantastic at catering to a dairy allergy. Fish and chips was a big hit and we went back for more later in the same week! The Burger is also worth a mention, it was fully loaded and amazing! They have a great range for everyone including the kids. Our party also had the vegetable curry, panko chicken burger and vegetarian nachos. Dog friendly, lovely welcoming atmosphere, cute garden and lots of history all under one roof! A must if you’re in the area!

Quaint cornish pub. Didn't eat there though.

Well this is a real treat! Proper pub proper nice people, great food fabulous selection of beers gins wines . Well worth booking in advance to ensure a seat but drinks are great outside a d in!

The food and the atmosphere from the locals having a drink was great. Sadly the overall experience was not good. There was a very long wait for the food then one meal arrived 30mins before the others - no explanation was offered for this. Service was obviously stretched but it was the inability to keep us informed and accept responsibility for mistakes that was most upsetting . Our table was booked for 6.45pm, we had one course and left at 9.30pm. The wait was difficult for the children - if it had been communicated that there would be a long wait, I would have bought them some crisps at least to keep them going as they were so hungry and by that time food came also tired. There was a palpable lack of care or customer service. At one point the waitress walked past us and shouted "it's a nightmare". We tried to discuss our experience with the landlady but were told she was too busy to speak to us. We were a party of eleven and would have returned several times during our stay had we not felt unwelcome.

We didn't eat, we called in to book a table. What a great pub, busy on a Tuesday evening, and just a short walk from Crantock Bay holiday park. There is plenty of seating inside and out. The menu looks really good with plenty of choice. And a great selection of beers and ciders. Definitely a place to visit.

Managed to fit us in, 4 adults, 2 young children and a dog. Great atmosphere and service. Food was brilliant and served quickly. Will go there again as have visited before.

Upon arriving we all sat down and had our order for all eleven of us. It was expensive but there was 11 of us though. When one of us finally got some food (an hour later), the waitress said “nightmare” as going by, when the one of us that got our food before anyone else asked why they had it before anyone else the waitress started arguing with her. The food was ok but staff … That waitress didn’t even care to apologise to us, rude. Also the fact we pair £300 to just have all this happen to us is appalling. I wouldn’t recommend here.

Friendly and traditional village pub which is deceptively large. Lots of outdoor seating. Great food.

Had catch of the day fish stew on Friday 4th October, it was excellent, all the meal was absolutely to die for. I will be back 🥘 yum

Nice oldy worldly pub, stopped here for fish and chips which were delicious

Best boozer in Crantock and the wider area by far. Great food, friendly staff and locals. A gem of a place with a fantastic atmosphere.

We nipped in for a drink as we were staying local. This is a lovely pub with a good choice of real ales. Food is also available, however, we didn’t eat here.

Only stopped for a quick drink but was friendly and busy lots of people eating

Lovely atmosphere and even though the food was booking only we were squeezed in. An excellent lunch and well worth it! Return visit in May and exactly the same, a really great place to visit! Update: I really like this pub, it's lovely but there is a sign outside saying Sunday 'roast' lunch every Sunday, except even though it's only early September- you can't as they don't serve it? So, if not (which is fine, their choice) then take the blackboard in! Pretty simple. Closed Tuesdays which is fair enough if course. Update: Still excellent, lovely place!

I had the Chicken satay and they were kind enough to swap the noodles for fried rice. Absolutely delicious. Lots of chicken pieces and the rice and veg were beautiful and the satay sauce was both orangey and peanut flavoured. Food came super quick and the service was fab too. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food Met some really lovely people Female staff a bit miserable

Cracking place. Live music good beer and good food what more do you want

Really lovely little village pub. We really enjoyed our visit here as the food was so delicious. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend dining here.

Exellent pub. Great atmosphere, reale ale awesome food. Just great.

We were impressed with the spacious dining area and friendly staff. My husband said it was the best fish and chips. Dog friendly too.

The pub is olde world and extremely quaint and authentic. The kind of place tourists should and do love. The menu was very inventive, the food was outstanding and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. There is a vast array of drinks on offer and even large displays of local artisan jewellery and paintings and drawings. Wonderful 😊

Sandwich and Guinness were delicious👍😎

Seems they were having a bit of a nightmare with food during our visit - we overheard many complaints from different tables so we were a little apprehensive. Have to say though our food was fine - not brilliant but definitely good enough. Food aside our waitress was absolutely fantastic - super friendly despite how stressed she must have been with the issues caused by the kitchen - 5+/5 for service, will definitely visit again.

Wow wow wow the food was just amazing! The staff were lovely and so friendly and helpful absolutely recommended. The port and stilton musrooms were just👌

Didn't have food but lovely place

Whole family of 8 went out last night. Everyone was really happy with their food and two people said it was the best burger/ curry they had ever had. Nice beers on. Attentive waitresses. Good quality background music. Great evening. Far better than 4.3 average.

The service was rude, the food took over an hour to be delivered to the table also the order was incomplete we had to wait another 10 minutes for the last meal.( no apology) Would have gone there everyday of the holiday for drinks and snacks but because of the rudeness I stopped going basically loosing them about £500.. The Albion has stopped me going to crantock.

Fantastic food, staff couldn't have been more accommodating last week. Really looked after us all week. Look forward to going back next year

Only stopped for a drink but service was good. Good selection. Menu looked nice and decor was cool, takes you back in time. Lovely place.

Amazing vibe great service and so friendly our dog was greeted with a dog treat by Barry. The outside tables are well shaded and the brisket chilli is the best chilli I’ve eaten in years - lovely place.

Great village pub & outdoor seating. Good selection of drinks, outdoor entertainment and dog friendly 👌

Very nice village pub. I couldn't see any parking for customers but given the size of the village that's to be expected. Outside seating and dog friendly. I didn't eat here but their sandwiches looked nice.

Nice atmosphere, live music every Sunday

Went for a couple of Sunday afternoon beers.

Stunning pub, really friendly, food was lovely, sat outside in the sun, perfect.

Great pub in Crantock. Lovely setting just a walk away from the beach. Live music on Saturday.

Great pub with a great atmosphere and very nice service.

Really friendly staff, food is tasty as hell, but prices are a tiny bit steep

A bit pricey and an hour wait for the food. Good ales and food

Nice food, huge portions ,great value for money .good atmosphere, well worth a visit

A cosy, friendly, traditional pub with friendly staff, excellent food and a lovely atmosphere. The menu is not extensive but is thoughtfully put together and interesting. The food we had was all beautifully cooked and presented and the portions were generous. There was a good range of beers and ciders with several local breweries featured.

They have a quiet area nice selection of drinks Parking is full of tables and chairs

Came here for a few drinks on a Sunday whilst on holiday. Cahooty were playing and were fantastic. Drinks prices average. Lots of outdoor seating.

Great suntrap, friendly staff, recommend the ploughmans

Nice old pub...in centre of Crantock...just had a quick pint (cold river cider) ...no food.

Absolutely delicious breakfast such good value for money

We ate here several times during our stay in Crantock. Each meal was great. It's made fresh and you can tell the difference. The prices are very reasonable - a Guinness and Double Vodka and diet coke was just over £10 which I found was at least £4 less than other licensed premises in the area. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant and pub area and there's plenty of seating outside too.

We come here quite often for meals, we even came on Christmas day. And we can't fault it. From the moment you walk in the door to when you leave, its perfect. The staff are lovely and so friendly and the meals are absolutely delicious. We love this pub with its old beams and roaring fires in the winter, perfect.

Great staff, great service, great cask ale and cider

Amazing place, great burgers, and plenty of outside seating. Can get busy, a great place for a drink on the way back from the beach.

2024 Had a really nice time. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming. Drinks were average.

I love this pub! It’s got a lovely sunny outside area split across the road. Food is also very good. Didn’t spend much time inside as we had lovely weather during our stay in Crantock but could imagine it being very cosy on colder days.

We always go here for sunday lunch when we visit Crantock, it's such a lovely Cornish pub. Food is good and all the bottles of wine are reasonably priced. It's nice to have your meal and then sit outside for a drink afterwards. This time there was live music in the beer garden, a crazy, wonderful afternoon. The staff, as always are polite and accommodating. Sunday lunch was good, my only criticism would be that the vegetarian roast was more like a children's meal this time. Shame because it was so nice, just very sparse. All in all, still a good afternoon and we will be back again.

Really good food. Probably the best burger I've ever had!

Fantastic place reasonably priced food and beer. .. will be back.

Great food and atmosphere traditional pub

I had the katsu fish, it was not fresh as it was clearly under the heat lamps for a while as the sauce as a skin on it and the rice had a crust on the top and the fish was dry and not good, and please dont serve frozen pale chips, they was not good. We waited over an hour for this so we eat paid and left as if we moaned we would have to wait another half hour as I witnessed from another table. I use to love this place and it is a lovely pub and good for a drink but the food is overpriced and not great.

Great all-round pub, you will like it! Also dog friendly!

We ordered 2 fish and chips, chilli and a kids chicken nuggets. The food was over all ok but for the prices you expect very nice food. The main issue was the fish and chips at £17 each… £34 for 2 fish and chips. When it came one had the top half and other had the bottom. Would not recommend unless you want to pay a fortune for a minimal amount of OK food.

I've been coming to crantock for over 40 years never have i been treated to a rip off fish and chips advertised catch of the day 17 pounds for 4inch fish

Disappointing visit! Have been a regular visitor when we are in Crantock for a number of years, disappointed with our roast, looked lovely but not hot sadly

We are just back from a fabulous 9 days in Crantock and spent four very happy evenings at The Old Albion. The food is so good! Across our visits we had the fish and chip Friday special, halloumi burger, crispy tofu, and apple crumble with custard and they were all so delicious. The pub has a lovely, warm atmosphere and everyone, all the people who work there and the regulars, were so welcoming. Very dog friendly and an adorable pub cat too. Can't wait to go back in June!

Lovely atmosphere, very cosy and welcoming, food coming out looked very nice with good weekly deals. Excellent music with local drinks behind the bar and to top it all off they have cats!

Very friendly and lovely traditional pub

Exceptional staff! What a gem of a pub! We visited the Old Albion during the second week of January to celebrate my Mum’s 60th. The enthusiasm and kindness shown to us by all the staff, particularly Abigail and her manager (Hopkins?), were above and beyond anything we’d ever experienced in a pub before. From showing us how to make cocktails and mocktails to explaining the menu inside out with great humour made our night and even our whole year. My Mum and whole family were over the moon with the experience and we can’t thank you all enough. We will be back!

Popped in for a drink Christmas day and the whole place was busy and the menu looked fantastic.

Wonderful "oldy woldy" pub with a fantastically friendly atmosphere and great freshly cooked food.

Great food and reasonably priced.

First time stayed in village after a brisk walk on the beach, had a sandwich each and they was excellent would highly recomend. Called today Christmas Eve just had a snack very busy

A great pub to eat and drink if in the area. The sea food stew was amazing but would recommend the extra bread.

One of the cutest and best pubs I ever seen! We will 100% come back even its a 2 hour drive away from us.

This is an absolutely crackin little place, the food was great, the environment was lovely, but most of all, the staff were incredible! So welcoming and friendly towards us and our dogs, nothing was too much trouble. Loved it so much we booked in the following day for Sunday roast 😁👍

Fantastic location and atmosphere and the service was excellent. We had lunch and I was disappointed, but please give it a try. I will go back as really enjoyed the visit.

Anniversary meal and Carly and Abbie could not have been more welcoming. Lovely

Very nice old pub , good range of beer and food,very small car park and narrow roads

When at work , this is our local pub . Such a nice local pub with a friendly atmosphere . Dog friendly too .

Wonderfully crafted by time with an imposing range of real ales and locally fermented ciders. The food ain't half bad either with the added bonus of periodic local live music. A real gem in a sea of plasticated sameness, highly recommend.

Uninterested Staff, Shown a table then left without asking for drinks or food. Drinks you order from the bar, out of three meals one was served cold. The waitresses were nice, and the one was very chatty and friendly. No music or TV on to keep patrons occupied, customers arrived at the bar and ignored. Wouldn't recommend it if you're hungry. Parking is nonexistent, three car bays out the front. Gave a tip to one waitress who looked like she never had one before, staff are friendly and the setting is beautiful. The manager was seen leaving the premises and leaving staff to their own devices.

Lovely old pub, great food in picturesque Crantock.

Superb evening as always @the Albion in crantock. Great night Great muzik and great people

This is such a classic country pub - warm and cosy in winter and buzzing with friends outside in the sun in summer. The food is always awesome (best Nachos in the Newquay area I reckon) and there's a massive selection of local ciders. Even better, they serve a full menu on Sunday in summer, so you aren't stuck with the 'roast or nothing' problem ☺️

Great food... great old pub ... not fast fast service but perfectly acceptable... very enjoyable lunch :-)))) XXXXX

We arrived at 7.45pm in search of a drink and food . Choosing and getting served for a drink was no problem but when it came to getting food it was a very curt no. The waitress ridiculed herself by saying no service inside but possibly outside like we were a couple of dogs. No thanks we would rather spend our money elsewhere where we happily did at Watergate Bay . This small minded rude service does nothing to encourage tourists to support local pubs . This is frankly a lazy rude attitude that dogged the British tourist trade in the 70s . I’m

Grumpy staff, dry chicken and watery gravy. Won't be visiting again.

a typical old cornish pub absolutely beautiful people very friendly loved it.

Our dinner plans failed so went on the road to find somewhere new and what a find this was. High end food at reasonable prices. Think we were lucky to get a table at all let alone in the sunshine as when we arrived most were reserved. Food didn't take long to come out and there were empty plates all round at the end! Everyone seemed happy and relaxed. Will definitely be returning

Love this place, staff so friendly. Went there last year on holiday . Just lovely. Looking forward to going back in a few weeks and trying the food this time.

Lovely place if you haven't been, give a try, you won't be disappointed

Great service, good selection of real ales nice pint

Charming pub it a stunning village, certainly worth a stop here. Especially on a Monday night. The atmosphere is epic.

Genuinely one of the best pub experiences I've had in 'peak' times. The staff despite being stressed were lovely and accommodating. The pub atmosphere was so lovely, music and TV at a perfect volume. The food was reasonably priced and unreasonably amazing quality for said price! The fish and chips are the best I've had in a long while. Dogs are also allowed here making it an easy holiday outing.

Just had a smashing ploughman's in the beer garden and September sunshine! Awesome pub...love spending my days off here!!🙏😊

Lovely traditional old pub. Good food but book at weekends. It gets busy

Little gem, off the beaten track... what a find! Only stumbled upon it trying to find Crantock beach... quality!!!

Don't let the lack of a warm welcome put you off. The food is amazing. We've visited in the past and always been welcomed and shown to a table. This time we had to find someone to ask them if the food was still being served. No menus on the tables and no cutlery etc. However the food was gorgeous and we'd highly recommend it.

The food was amazing and the staff and owners so very welcoming and helpful

Called in for lunch. Excellent BLT sandwiches and a nice pint of Tribute. Friendly staff too.

Thoroughly good food. I Slightly slow service. Look forward to the opportunity of re,visiting

Had drinks here lovely place staff and locals was friendly welcoming

Really enjoyed our first visit to the Old Albion tonight, as we we're staying local. Great atmosphere, plenty of space inside or out. The food is very vibrant and tasty. Very much would be returning when can. Thanks to all the friendly staff.
