Pandora Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely location - you can sit and eat on the pontoon. I thought a bit pricey but good food.

Nice spot to sit and watch the world go by

Stunning location,great food And service will be back!

Lovely place, food was mega, veiws to die for

What a place, a real little jem. A magnet to those who want a real pub. Great ales and the food even better. I would travel 100 miles to go here. Then you have the views on the water. Such a real golden nugget.

Amazing pub! The renovations have been done so nicely. best bear garden in Cornwall! The staff are friendly and helpful! I was slightly disappointed with the fish pie this time round though. Its my go too on the menu but this time the pie only had one type of white fish, when it usually has prawns in it too. The garlic bread wasn't garlic butter anymore, it was a bright lime green garlic paste thing that was so strong it was spicy and i couldnt finish it! and the salad was just dry leaves, no dressing or seasoning. A bit of a shame.

Down on the river near falmouth, good service and good food. A good range of beers etc and lots of tables. Quiet area but the inn was busy.

Parking can be an issue but otherwise a lovely spot for a drink

This place is fabulous. Decent food, outstanding views and happy staff

We stopped for a Sunday Lunch. Meal really good. Plenty of vegetables etc for the table and the beef was cooked really well.

Twenty five years ago at the Pandora a son of mine then aged 7 hrs was served his first pint ... of prawns. Looking forward to repeating the experience this year (2025)...

Amazing food quite possibly the best I've had in years. Highly recommended

Great place in a picturesque location right on the water. Watch you head inside if you are tall (I'm 6 foot 1). Great old feel and look with friendly staff. Tasty food! There is also seating outside and also on the jetty which is rather novel.

First outing since Tom & John took over. Had a decent spread of dishes - Ploughman’s, Burger & Club sandwiches. Food was exceptional, good portions, tasted fantastic. Good selection of ales/beers. The staff were engaging and owners visible. They’ve taken something which was good and are making it better. Thank you 👍

One of two of my favourite "go to" pubs in the area if friends or family are visiting. Food is good. Bar snacks excellent. Location is FAB. We often get a bowl of mussels to share. Don't forget to check out the model ship near the gents and the history relating to the Mutiny on the Bounty. Recommended. Have been coming here since 1989.

Possibly me favourite pub In the UK, my wife had the Mussels in white wine which was beautiful. The location us amazing. Simply stunning.

We were thrilled to get in to this restaurant for lunch. It was great to eat outside on the floating jetty but it was a tad cold. The food was great and the service(particularly considering the distances travelled) was efficient and friendly. Inside the pub is cosy and warm and has been renovated beautifully with period pieces and lovely fabrics.

£7.50 for a pint of rattler.... Says it all

Lovely please and atmosphere fantastic. Very popular both inside and out

My partner and I came to the Pandora for our anniversary. We had a wonderful evening, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The garlic lemon scallops were delicious. My partner had the Sri Lankan chilli mussels with coconut curry. For mains, we had both had the steak burger which was one of the best I've ever tasted. The meat was Cooked perfectly. Overall we had a fabulous evening and will definitely be coming back again soon.

We’ve been to Pandora on a few occasions previously for food/drinks. On this occasion the service was efficient. The portion size for our food however was significantly smaller and lower quality than previous visits which was a bit of a shame - considering the cost has increased. We had the baked Camembert & chips in November, so were able to directly compare it on this most recent visit. The pub is still a great place to have a peaceful pint in the sun though. Hoping to try again in a few months time - to see if any quality issues have worked themselves out.

Disappointing We have been regular customers of the Pandora for many years and took our visitors for our first experience since the refurbishment, which was a complete embarrassment. So disorganised , mediocre food. Felt sorry for the waitress who was not given the correct information. They have been reopened for a month, they should have a better grip on things by now. When we left a bunch of young guys in chefs outfits in the car park throwing things at each other didn’t give a good impression

Went along on Sunday 27th after Visiting a few times over the years however 14.70 for a larger and a cider. Rude bar staff no thank you.

Very disappointed! I understand that the Pandora reopened a month ago with new staff, following refurbishment and we liked the decor. We were shown upstairs to a round table with great views of the river. However, the restaurant was cold. There was only one other table occupied all evening. Menu was OK but, incredibly no wine list available. (An A4 sheet or blackboard would have been an easy fix.) The waitress suggested some wines and we chose a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc, not knowing the price, (£35 for a screw top seemed excessive). Chips were good but otherwise the food was very average. Incredibly they had run out of vanilla ice cream, which they had replaced with Caramel, which they had also then run out of. If I had known I could have supplied them with ice cream which I had bought earlier that day from local shops! On leaving the restaurant we passed,who we presume,was the manager. No "good evening, we hope you enjoyed your meal". No acknowledgement of us at all. The waitress did her best against the odds but we won't be rushing back.

Stopped here for a refreshment during my journey. The seating on the river is worth the drive. The staff are great and the drinks cold, can't ask for more in my opinion.

Really nice, old fashioned pub with loads of outdoor seating. Good food (can recommend the Asian mussels and the club sandwich).

Nice ambience and really big portions for the price! Outside terrace is beautiful.

Get the moules mariniere, we’ve never had better! Lovely kayak from loe beach for lunch.

“I had dinner at this very charming and historic place. The menu was interesting and the food was good. The service was at times a bit inefficient, but always kind and courteous. It’s definitely a beautiful spot in a lovely bay, where you can eat outside on the pier or inside in a well-kept environment.”

My partner and I recently had a delightful experience at The Pandora Inn in Falmouth, and I wanted to specifically commend them on their exceptional handling of my partner's coeliac disease and gluten-free dietary requirements. From the moment we enquired about gluten-free options, the staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and reassuring. They didn't just offer a cursory "yes, we have gluten-free options," but instead took the time to understand the severity of coeliac disease and the importance of avoiding cross-contamination.

Thank you so much to the new Pandora team. Just had the best Morher's day in years. Fabulous food, perfect service, literally the best atmosphere , couldn't have asked for better. Long may it continue😍

Rambling olde worlde style pub, rebuilt after a fire. Low ceilings, exposed wood, model ship. The main feature outside is a wide pontoon with tables, where boating visitors can stop when the tide is in.

Love it next to the river...shame that as of 6 Jan 2025 it has just shut down for 3 months !

It's always good, but just out of common courtesy, now they are closed for the foreseeable future, could you put a notice at the cross roads saying pub closed?

Food was delicious especially the fish pie .

Popped into to the Pandora for an end of the Christmas period drink at 5.40pm on Sunday 5th January, the pub was averagely busy. Was met by a stoney faced unfriendly gentleman working behind the bar who advised that the pub was now closed (and would be for the next 2 months). No niceties, no friendliness just blunt and to the point. After having spent 20 mins travelling to the Pandora (not lovely roads), I feel that this experience should be shared as a kindly reminder that it is NOT ok to treat customers with such little respect when it suits, and be smiley and polite when you want our custom. I would politely point out that neither your job nor the Pandora would exist without the support of customers like ourselves. It is also worthy of note that the Pandora website confirmed the pub to be open til 11.00 on that night and also made no mention of the pending closure. May I also suggest that as an additional mark of respect for the customer’s who keep you in business that you update your website to reflect your current opening hours. That easy!!!

After visiting a year ago we eagerly returned. Unfortunately they did not have us booked in despite our email and their phone call 2 weeks ago to confirm. To be fair they responded positively. The wait for service was long .During our wait a large group of 15 people arrived to be seated next to us. They stood up chatting loudly with their backs withing inches of us .No consideration to us eating when our meal came.They were stood waiting for rest of party to arrive. At no time were they asked to sit down in restaurant. We could not hold a conversation our selves as they were so loud. Meal was about 50 mins until served and drinks forgotten. Total bill was 170 pounds ,food was spoilt by ambience in restaurant with noise and bumping into us. When paying for meal I said food was OK but experience was spoilt by noise and no control in restaurant. I was greeted by "Thats out of our control".Not an apology. The 4 of us won't return.

Sets a very high bench mark in how pub food should be. Plenty on the plate deliciously cooked, great selection of beers and wine and and the decor has the feel of an old ship. Wonder place to dine and relax

Beautiful old pub on the river restronguet creek. Super cosy feel. Staff were super friendly and the food was exceptional. Great size portions. Would love to arrive by boat next time. Plenty of parking which is always a bonus.

Visiting the area and wanted to eat out Monday night in winter very happy to find the Pandora Inn. Ancient building with fans in at in history right on the waters edge. Friendly efficient team and piping hot delicious fish n chips. Very quiet night but still felt welcome and no rush to leave. Will return in the summer when we can sit outside on the jetty.

Service ok, lady at bar rude and grumpy. Food was ok but portion sizes ridiculous. So much waste as we couldn't eat it all so you did yourselves out of us ordering pudding. Vegan burger patties nice, but for £19 some cheese, burger relish and maybe a slice of tomato or gherkin would have been nice. Plates not cleared. If you are hungry and want a huge plate of carbs this is your place

Best pub in this whole green Google Maps bit

A couple of things I'd have preferred were different but I look forward to going back again one day. We had dinner for 4, the food was all very good. I didn't like ordering at the bar and paying first as when you want to order more you're paying all the time. We were also sat next to a very loud table, very loud but I don't believe this would be a regular thing. The pub is lovely, the food was lovely, the setting it's in is beautiful and I can't wait to go back.

Very pleasant and great location. Food looked and smelled excellent, although we contented ourselves with a cream tea. (Be aware, parking is fairly limited, so you may have to wait for a space.)

Love the Pandora, been going for years. Peak times parking can be an issue. This time we had the fish pie. YUM 😋

Beautiful old thatched pub that feels like it might have once harboured pirates. Downstairs is original, upstairs it's been beautifully rebuilt after an unfortunate fire a decade ago or so. Food looks great but we only had a pint and some chips (which were really good).

Beautiful at all times of the year. Dog friendly.

Excellent food, service is and a fantastic location

We decided to pop out for a relaxed drink and so glad we came here. A fabulous relaxed atmosphere in such a cosy romantic old style pub with eclectic seating flag floors and dark wood. The drinks were great, service was great and the food coming out looked delicious. Estuary views are a delight and during the day setting is also available on the pontoon/walk way reaching out into the estuary.

Lovely if the weather is nice to sit outside but if you have to sit inside its dark and dingy. Sadly don't have crab sandwiches on the menu any more. Quite expensive when you have to order at the bar. At those prices would expect waiter or waitress service

Amazing food. Brilliant Service. Atmosphere unbelievable. 100% recommended

Beautiful views if you have an outside table. Terrible for parking

Huge portions and good food - just what was needed after a long walk. Lovely old-world meets good food and vibe in this Inn. Plenty to enjoy!

Excellent service and food was delicious. Had a table upstairs with a fantastic view over the jetty and sea way. Highly recommended

It was a celebration as per questionnaire on their website but nothing on table or anything from owners to say congratulations or anything, so why ask?

Lovely setting by the river in a quaint little village. Ploughman’s was delicious and some of the best chips I’ve tasted. Look out for the Olympic gold postbox in the pub wall.

Nice to sit outside on the floating platoon. Good food and beer.

Absolutely beautiful views with sea, boats sunset going down 💕

Lovely pub right on the estuary.

What a wonderful place. A perfect way to start a mini break in Cornwall. Stunning setting to while away a few hours eating great food watching the world drift by. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back as often as possible.

Had dinner last night - excellent food ( gorgeous fish pie ) service and staff brilliant 👏

We sat and had a drink only.... what a setting !!!! And what amazing people.... we lovvvvveed it

Fabulous place. Great food, beautiful surroundings, lovely staff. A very special place. The Gluten Free fish & chips are superb, very crispy batter & chips like tempura batter and huge portions.

This is a fantastic location. Love everything about the quirkiness of the old pub pluse the floating jetty on sunny days. Love people rowing, canoeing or sailing up to the jetty. Parking up and climbing on bord for a pint. Then there where the kids crabbing off the side. Honestly the best atmosphere let alone the stunning views all around. One of the best pub locations and would definitely visit again. Staff where all nice and helpful. Now I rated 4 stars purely because I felt the food was just standard and maby a little over priced. I wouldn't eat hear agen but nibbles and drinks most definitely be back.

Shared a fish platter lunchtime, superb, fab location.

What a beautiful place to dine out! Filled with rustic energy, nautical history and delicious food; what more could you ask for. On a sunny day you can sit outside by the water or you can dine in style upstairs with table service. All staff were friendly, great atmosphere and happy to alter the menu for dietary restrictions. Would most definitely visit again!

Lovely atmosphere eating out on the jetty. You can buy crabbing gear for the kids to catch crabs

The food was excellent good portions of food excellent staff excellent friendly

I do love the Pandora, have been coming for years. The food has gone down abit and prices up, don't change their menu much either but it is lovely on the pontoon with the tide up

Went for a cream tea, on a Wednesday afternoon, yes the place was busy, but not rammed and told there was a 1 hour wait for all food! How difficult is it to put a couple of scones, jam and cream on a plate! Walked out!

We kayaked to this pub from point and only stayed for drinks. But a nice looking pub. Big outdoor seating on the pontoon.

Location great, mediocre food. I'd recommend for a drink after a walk but not to eat. We ended up staying to eat as we'd booked online.

Beautiful location but let down by the food- it was OK but quite expensive for a standard pub offering

Wonderful pub full of character. Great food and drink. Kids enjoyed crabing on the pier. Top place to go

Lovely out of the way, but very popular, pub. Food was lovely, staff were friendly. I would recommend and I would go again 😀

Great place for a drink and watch the boats and wildlife from the pontoon. Crab fishing too.

Lovely service and great atmosphere

Good location. Added fun provided through crabbing activities. Fish and chips for £20 is a little too pricey I think. Even in the current climate. Some of the staff could be friendlier.

Lovely place to chill out and look down the harbour

Second time visiting and it didn’t disappoint. Top notch pub food in a wonderful setting.

Great place. Eat out on the pontoon you won't regret it!!

Excellent outside area including pontoon with fabulous views. Slowish service on busy days but well worth the wait.

Amazing place for a couple of beers and a bite to eat. If possible done on the Jetty and watch the world go by

A fantastic Pub. Full of character, and a lovely view across the river.

Great place, great service good food brilliant setting

What a beautiful place. Food was excellent. I had the seafood platter and my friend had the fish & chips. Great portion size, very generous. Will definitely visit again if only to eat my way through the menu. Very family & pet friendly.

Fantastic meal incl for the vegan!

Stunning historical pub with beautiful outdoor seating area on the water, we sat outdoors on a Summers day and spent most of our afternoon here. The food was fresh and local, served all afternoon (in the summer). Had a wonderful day out here and the staff were all very friendly 🙂 would recommend to anyone, lots of family's spending their day in and out of the water whilst having drinks and lunch 🌞

Pandora Inn is an absolutely amazing place food is excellent a great selection of beers all served with great service and the location is just beautiful sitting on the Pontoon on a hot summer's day life is amazing when you are where you want to be cheers Vince x 💜

Great setting, very busy when we visited - told 1.5 hour wait for food but arrived in 30 mins. Large portions for fish & chips, nicely presented and tasting. On pricey side but probably no worse than many other places!

This is one of the most idyllic locations in Cornwall. The sea is on its doorstep, there’s seating on a pontoon that juts into the bay and there’s a small beach to paddle up onto if you kayak or row. Because of all those things, the car parking is extremely stressful, it’s hard getting a table and the food, after a long queue, takes a while to turn up. It’s also worth the wait. And the staff, having to deal with a daily invasion, are excellent.

Wonderful pub, upstairs dining room was very peaceful whilst the bar area down stars was busy and vibrant, the outdoor seating area holds spectacular views which we enjoyed in the rain under an umbrella after our meal. The food was amazing, great portion size I had the chicken and chorizo gnocchi and my wife had the fish pie. 100% will return

Great local pub that I've been visiting for over 25 years

Fantastic place on tge waterfront. Great menu, but be prepared to wait for your food. Worth it when it comes ! If a nice day it is not hard to wait with such lovely surroundings !

Just a drink but the food looked amazing Staff all very friendly Recommend getting in early as car park fills up quick

Probably the best pub in the world, picture perfect, waterside, lovely food, great service, parking is tight ish so get there early, you won't be disappointed!

A brilliant place to dpend my birthday, lovely views ,only downside didnt do espresso martini's, but i.ll live 😉

Gorgeous pub right on the waterfront. Highly recommend a visit

We kayaked here from Loe Beach for a beer. Lovelly location. Did not eat on this occasionb ecausev food is served from noon, but previous meals here have always been great.
