Peterville Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Saw a write up somewhere at the end of the summer saying this pub had been voted Pub Of The Year by Visit England so I thought it would be nice to give it a try. What better an opportunity than for my birthday? Nice simple online booking which is always a bonus for me. It was just under an hours drive from us along the lovely new A30, half term was finished so it was quieter than usual thankfully. Staff were really friendly and the pub is beautiful inside, laid out nicely, plenty of tables but without being cheek by jowl to anyone else. We both ordered roast beef, there was a bit of a wait for the food to come but you don’t mind when you know it’s all fresh and comes out looking and tasting like it did. Portion size was absolutely spot on and came with extra gravy in a jug which is a nice touch. Highly recommend and will definitely be back before the start of the next summer season. Thanks Peterville Inn 😀

What a brilliant pub in a beautiful setting. Lots of strong use of local produce across the menu. As you would expect for Cornwall, some delicious seafood too. The Skate Wing was a favourite as well as the St Austell Mussels. I’m not sure what the vegetarian choice is like because I only eat meat and fish, that’s why I’m happy with my life. Highly recommend this gaff, not surprised it was voted Pub of the Year.

Came across the Peterville Inn online a few weeks ago. Noticed they were voted ‘Pub of the Year 2024’. Decided to look at their menu. It was noted there were several vegetarian dishes but not anything other than the usual pub variety. Emailed them to ask if they could perhaps do something a little more inventive on a date we were to visit for a special occasion. Of course we would pay accordingly. The pub replied saying they thought the vegetarian dishes were adequate and changed daily. Anyway, we decided to make a booking for lunch. First and foremost, it is essential to make it clear, this review is an observation not a complaint. Having been seated, we were served by a bubbly apologetic food server (informing us that they were short staffed and bear with us). The pub was very busy. The vegetarian choice was limited, as is normal in most pubs. Carrot and Corriander soup, Gnocchi, Mushroom on Toast, Breaded Brie Bites!, were on the menu. Unfortunately the Gnocchi was not made on site, so that reduced the choice to three items or so. Ordered the soup and Brie bites. Asked for soup plate and the soup to be HOT! It’s not sure whether most chefs know the classification of soups these days. However, the soup was more like a postage than a normal soup, thick and sludgy and barely hot. Most of it left. The Brie bites, of which there were 4, had a taste of being deep fried in oil that may have been used for other items. Having read other reviews on the Peterville Inn, I agree with the comments the food is a little overpriced but that’s the nature of the beast these days. However, it is hoped that on a less busy day the dishes would not be held as long. There is no mention of the other dishes ordered as not to lessen the observation further. It seems that these days we are to expect much higher prices and less food on the plate. Why didn’t we complain. It was a Birthday celebration, no need to upset the day for the sake of £60.00! The long delay for both food and the bill was disappointing.

A great pub with well priced, good quality, delicious food ... the 'simple' steak burger on our first night was probably the best burger we have ever had!! Definitely not the typical overpriced pub food which has become all too common. We visited several times during out stay In St. Agnes for both food and sometimes just a couple of beers. Staff and manager / owner were always friendly and accommodating, even bringing some treats and water for our dog on each occasion. A proper pub and has to be a 5 star review from us.

The Best Sunday Roast. The food was amazing, I totally recommend adding the cauliflower cheese, it’s so worth it. The Bailey’s cheesecake was an absolute winner. Amazing food, lovely people, a perfect Sunday. Thank You The Peterville.

This is a lovely pub/restraunt the food was amazing we both had chicken supreme which was cooked perfectly ,we arrived there without having booked but was found a table .staff were super friendly definitely worth a visit 😊

Our second time back to this wonderful place . lovely that they remembered us all too… Great food and wonderful staff. Can’t wait to come back again guys keep up the amazing work you all do. Can’t believe you still had our padlock ❤️

Arrived on a Sunday when I had actually booked the week after but still managed to squeeze us in. From the moment we arrived the whole experience was fab down to the staff, setting food etc. They deserve Britains best pub and i will be returning on my annual vist to beautiful Cornwall 🍾😎

Excellent lunch. The fish platter was enough for 2 people Lovely fresh fish pate, salad, smoked salmon, big prawns. Also very nice pulledpork burger. Very friendly staff & good selection of local beers etc. Thank you, will visit again.

We stayed close to the pub for a week and went in for a few pints every night, we also had dinner one of those evenings. Staff was always very friendly and both the food and the Guinness was delicious. Looking forward to coming back again. Extra thanks to John for taking extra good care of us.

Staff are amazing, super friendly, and can’t do enough to help. Jonny a great host and now knows me as Robert. The food…….. OMG…. Best mussels I’ve ever had, and I’ve had them throughout Europe, big and plump. Prawns divine. Pork burger….. perfect. Thanks guys...

An excellent lunch, thoroughly enjoyed by us all. Best tomato soup, delicious (and stunning) cocktail, local mussels, slow cooked pork burgers, wholesome kids’ menu and if you can manage dessert, treats await. Service is warm and friendly - a memorable meal to end our holiday....

Enjoyed a delicious meal in this lovely pub during a recent holiday in St Agnes. Food and cocktails were delicious. A young, friendly and efficient team made us feel welcome and looked after us. A special shout out to the lovely waitress who served us....

We enjoyed our first meal here that we rebooked for later in the week. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is amazing, would definitely recommend booking

Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. Menu varied but not as on website.Highly recommended if in the area.

The Peterville Inn is an incredible restaurant in St Agnes. The service is impeccable, the food was incredible. The manager went above and beyond for my partners birthday. Highly recommend for any occasion!

Such a wonderful cosy dining experience for our anniversary. The Inn has zones for all from cosy evening meal to brunch in a modern bar and large decking to grab a quick pint whilst on the go. Staff were so friendly and welcoming making you...

We visited here based on reviews and photos of the sharer “steak night”. I appreciate that the online menus state they are sample menus, however the “Friday steak night” listed on the website doesn’t seem to exist anymore? We were told on booking that they...

Not the first time we’ve eaten out here, but probably the last for the time being. Cheerful staff, welcoming friendly and helpful. However good the cuisine may be though, neither of us has any great interest in eating surrounded by dogs. Or having to pause...

Every time we go to the Peterville, I’m astounded at how brilliant your waiters are. Always professional, always friendly and service you’d expect from 5* hotels. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. An absolute asset to...

Great service. Starters and mains were superb. I would definitely come back to experience the food, wind and atmosphere again. There are no specials. The menu is special.

Drinks and Food different times. Amazing welcome from all staff and owners . Food lovely as are the cocktails. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere every time thanks to Ash & Johnny & staff all brilliant absolutely amazing place and ambiance.

Sunday lunch amazing! We went a few weeks ago but the roast was outstanding, probably the best potatoes we have ever had! We asked the waiter who had made it and I believe it was a sous chef absolutely brilliant thank you

One of the best steaks I have ever had. The chef spoke with us about our allergies (one gluten free celiac and one dairy free) and he made sure there were options for us on the menu. We stayed for a few cocktails after and...

Very Friendly staff, Amazing food. Would highly recommend steak 😋 busy place, which speaks volumes..

I don’t normally write reviews, but tonight’s meal deserves it. Absolutely superb Cote de Bouef. It was just perfect. Also do try the anchovies starter. Better than Barcelona tapas bars, and I’ve been to many. Thoroughly recommended.

Brilliant food and service. Steak is fabulous. We went once and had to go again twice on our holiday it was that good and we can thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic food, well beyond good pub grub. Service and welcome was fantastic. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Log fire. Very dog friendly.

What a fantastic place. The staff were lovely and great with our dogs. The food was AMAZING, gorgeous pub in a great spot. We will definitely be going back again.

Had an incredible evening meal at the peterville. We both commented it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had (and we’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants.) Great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic meal with the family. Ate here on an evening. The pub was very busy and clearly managing the bookings very well. Attentive hosts. Lovely selection of food on the menu which we ordered quite a selection from. All of the food was absolutely fantastic....

We booked for Saturday night - Mothers Day treat for 8 of us including children. When ordering drinks I asked for a glass of champagne, only to be told there is no champagne' which I thought was a joke. So I said ok we'll have...

Popped into the inn on the spur of the moment one Sunday afternoon and had a great Sunday lunch! Really good food. Friendly staff and a warm cosy place to eat on a wet and windy day.

We were recommended by a family friend to try the roast beef and it certainly didn’t disappoint last Sunday. I tend to order Chicken/Turkey whenever we go out as most places don’t cook their beef long enough so it’s tender, but this place certainly does!...

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My friend had a burger which he thoroughly enjoyed. We were served by Johnny who was friendly, helpful and attentive. Dog friendly with a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will be going...

Best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a long time ! Super friendly staff, very dog friendly and such a great atmosphere. Really good selection of drinks

Not been here since it's had a make over but last night we visited and had a great time.. cocktails made by a dedicated barmen good atmosphere and lovely staff..will definitely be back.

A lovely pub with open fires, great service of the attentive and friendly staff and good pub food and Sunday roast. There is a nice atmosphere in this pub it has a modern touch in an old building with easy to listen to music and...

Fifty trip this summer to the Peterville, since it’s been under new management. The food, service and atmosphere have been good every time whether they were super busy or quieter. Great to hear that Sunday Roasts will be coming to get us through the colder months!

We only stopped for a beer whilst waiting in Churchtown for our bus to Newquay. However the half an hour we spent here was most enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and the interior of the building very warm and welcoming. Outside tables in the sunshine an added advantage.

The New Yorker was great same they were so mean with the wedges. Good value on a Thursday, won’t bother again now till autumn.

While staying in St Agnes called in for drinks, the young bar manager was brilliant. Made us feel so at home, called back and ate a lovely evening meal.Then free entertainment from a local band and an open mic night. What more could you wish for, oh and the bar manager even made me a hot chocolate quite late when most pubs would have refused top marks!

Went out for a drive. Popped in for a drink and ended up having lunch. Friendly and welcoming and excellent service, and the traditional roast was very good. The portions were generous and of very good quality. The food suffered from not being hot enough and being served on warm rather than really hot plates. The result was that the last of meal was quite cold. This is a simple thing to remedy and does not stop me recommending the Peterville Inn or from visiting it again in the future.

We tried this little place, last night. They easily accommodated a party of 6 after we had booked. Great atmosphere. The serving staff were really friendly and couldn't have done more for us. We ordered the steaks and posh kebabs. Gotta say the food was excellent. Came all together and we were not left wanting for anything. Would highly recommend. Thanx

Decided on the Peterville as had been before and couldn’t fault it and the same could be said for this visit. Staff were really attentive, food wa amazing and will definitely be back. Thank you Peterville Inn, we will see you soon.

Fabulous atmosphere and delicious food. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating, fitted in a party of 7 and our dog without any issues. We will definitely be back!

We came here for a family meal on a Friday night. The staff were friendly and accommodating to us dining with a toddler and baby. The menu was varied and interesting with generous portions. I'd definitely recommend the posh kebab!

What a place! Lovely staff, nice choice of drinks and absolutely delicious food!I had a Marcel with lovely wages, great salsa and fantastic, very unusual slow!My partner had cheeseburger with chips and slow-he even ate a bap which he usually don’t eat!Food was served quickly and disappeared quickly as well.Good job guys!

The barman at the pub wasn’t very attentive to me and I think staff who can’t have eye contact with customers aren’t supposed to be working in a customer service field. My friend’s meal was served with full politeness: “Here’s your eggs ham and chips”And he just put my food right in front of me and not saying a word and walked off? What a contrast in attitude?If you want to be discriminative in certain way just say it out loud but not treating your customer who is paying your wages in such despicably disgusting way.Thought it would be more welcoming in a smaller Cornish town but I think I am wrong.Well done and keep up the good work!

Nice varied menu at the Bear bar and grill. The vegan kebab was really good and I can recommend the espresso martini.

What a difference. Friendly cheerful staff, a well stocked bar, a great menu. So much better than it used to be.

We went as a family of nine - glad we prebooked table as it was very busy!

Arrived here after calling at other places and decided to stay here to eat. On arrival barman said take a seat anywhere and a waitress will come and take all orders. They gave us perfect amount of time to make our choices - we ordered and it didn’t take too long for the food to arrive. The staff were friendly and knew exactly what to do and say. And when food came it was spot on, right quantity and right price.

We were staying nearby and gave this place a go. Turned out to be dog friendly (hadn’t seen that online so worth noting).

Stopped here on the off chance of getting a spot of lunch. Had their version of ham egg and chips which was very tasty. Very welcoming pub with attentive staff and great food.

Hubby & i frequented the bear bar during our stay to saint agnes. We drank here many times & ate once. All of the staff are so welcoming & friendly (including rose the pub cat!) & attentive to you without being overbearing (service like this is a rare find in our country now sadly!). The wine is fab, great choice of gin too, including my favourite silent pool! I thoroughly enjoyed the vegan budda bowl which was clean food & so tasty! Decent vegan / veggie options are hard to find! Hubby had the nachos which he also enjoyed very much. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, hopefully we will visit again in the future!

We stopped for lunch here on a bike ride and this is a place not too miss if you are anywhere nearby. We would make a special trip to eat here again!! The staff are very friendly and will do anything to make sure you have everything you need. The menu has a great selection and includes a Vegan option which is worth trying even if you are not Vegan. Looking at the food other customers ordered everything on the menu looked amazing.

We dined here on our first night of a 3 night stay in St Agnes.

We came upon the Peterville by sheer chance and I'm very glad we stayed.

The Peterville Inn is a lovely, friendly old-style pub in the St. Agnes that features a very good selection of hand-pumped real ales and offers good, solid pub food. The building itself and the nice décor exude a warm, welcoming atmosphere - and indeed the bar staff were extremely welcoming upon my visit and gave me some advice which other places in Cornwall would be worth a visit (St. Agnes itself is rather tiny and very quiet, its main attraction being the small, enclosed beach about a half a mile from The Peterville Inn). It's truly the perfect village pub for locals and tourists alike.

Tried because it’s newhaving been taken over by a new company - and Wow!!! Food and service were really excellent - there is no doubt at all that we will be returning here.

Tried for the first time since new landlord, really impressed, it’s welcoming, the food is very good

Newly refurbished we were told, this is a large, friendly pub with very personable waiting staff and a menu which veers well away from your average pub grub. We ordered the Posh Steak Kebab and the Posh Vegan Kebab, not really knowing what to expect. (we like to live dangerously!) Both were absolutely delicious and well presented. A great night out.

This is a nicely refurbished pub in the heart of St Agnes. Good priced drinks and nice obliging staff. Didn't eat here, but that was more about timing. Would recommend going, certainly for a quiet night.....

Welcoming and friendly staff. The food was delicious and had multiple vegan options, which is rare in a pub with a relatively small menu. I had the “Posh Vegan Kebab” which was amazing. Looking forward to my next visit!

Outstanding Staff Food good Deg friendly Very clean Service first CLASS Food awsom Wine selection first CLASS

We wasn’t sure what to expect from this quiet looking pub but we were very pleased we did go in. Lovely warm welcome from the landlord and the log fire. So much so we went back for Sunday lunch. Hand pump beers and homemade food. We had a 2 year old and a dog with us and the landlord couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating supplying a colouring book and crayon to keep our grandson entertained while he waited for his lunch and fresh water for the pouch. The food was delicious and plentiful. We would definitely recommend.

We called in here for a meal whilst on holiday in St Agnes. It’s a traditional pub rather than a restaurant and was fairly quiet whilst everywhere else was very busy so we weren’t sure what to expect. There was a lovely open fire and the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We both ordered steak and at £11 one of the cheapest we’ve seen for many years. The steak was cooked to perfection exactly as we ordered it and absolutely melted in the mouth it was so tender. We both said this was probably the best steak we had ever had. The chips and onion rings were homemade and it also came with tomatoes and mushrooms. Highly recommended. We couldn’t fault it. Great value excellent food.

Run for the hills, this place had virtually none of the drinks we ordered at all and the barmaid was really pleasant but unfortunately not well trained. Landlord lovely but frankly running out of the beers they should have had and having little range of bottled beers looks like this place is on the skids. Shame as it is in a great position and could be lovely with a nice interior and parking,

Went there twice during our holiday, nice friendly pub ate there second visit, food was good.Steak cooked to perfection as asked for and risotto very nice.

Excellent tasty locally sourced food beautifully presented and plentiful. Variety of traditional home made dishes and reasonably priced. Comfortable surroundings Landlord and staff very welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

Been a couple of times recently now.

We came here for Sunday lunch and only roast beef available plus normal a la carte menu. We all had the roast beef which was OK and the vegetables and potatoes were cooked very well. However the layout and atmosphere could be better. It never...

This bar has just been refurbished. It's clean, cared for and the food is really good. We live in Cornwall...

We've eaten very well this week, not had a bad meal yet... we came to said place full of cheer,...

We had lunch here earlier this week and were very pleased with the service and especially the food. We had...

Thought we would have a drive out to St. Agnes for food wanted to go to the other pub but could due to them having a fire, however ordered 2 fish and chips 1 rib of beef and Thai curry wasn't great to be honest the menu choice was poor due to staff issues

A curious smell pervaded the bar and throughout the bits of the pub we saw - possibly a cleaning product, but unpleasant enough to drive us outside.The barman was seemingly affronted by the fact that we only had a couple of 1/2s, but he didn't have a full range of pumps working either...The toilets were very clean and modern and clearly the place has had some serious renovation work done, which looks great. But there was zero atmosphere and it seems to be a self-perpetuating situation (people came in and left again while we were there). Very loud pop music was blaring, the back room was in darkness and the tables outside and out front offer nothing but road - some planting would be of real benefit.

We visited this establishment on Saturday evening as it re-opened on Friday after being closed for a month. We received a warm welcome from the Landlord. The surroundings were clean and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. We also decided to eat there, the food was very nice all cooked from stratch and because that was the case we were able to make changes from the menu. The young lad serving was very polite and keen to learn and do what he could to help, if he was my son I would be proud of him!Overall very enjoyable evening, highly recommended.

The pub has just be renovated, it is still quaint but with modern aspects. The landlord seemed very pleasant and said if I needed dairy free food, to phone in advance an they would very happily adapt to food to suit. Also they do a vegan day once a week, which would suit dairy free diets. I look forward to returning for a meal.

Visited st agnes on Monday a bank holiday, the staff was very rude and highly aggressive! would avoid at all cost!

Very disappointed, looked nice from the outside but it smelt stale inside, nice landlord but no atmosphere, in inviting and strange layout, not comfortable, finished off our drink outside, didn't go back.

The Peterville is now closed, the proprietors apparently cleared out one weekend very recently and have gone. That's putting it succinctly, but maybe someone else will take it over and return it to its former status in the village, a good pub serving good food and drink.

Had a few beers of an evening during our stay as this was the nearest to us (50 steps from our holiday accommodation) and can say it was a nice friendly pub with chatty locals to speak with and some good beers on tap served by friendly staff. I would recommend anybody to pop in and have a pint. Can't vouch for the meals but those we saw looked good and typical pub type food. You can have a good sit down and chat with your friends without any excessive noise. Thanks for the beers!

We ate here twice in a week-once of the main menu and once off the Sunday menu. Both were good, honest pub meals with decent portions and not too much unnecessary fancy touches. Good service and the staff were attentive. Dining room at the back and family friendly bar with pool table at the front. Worth a visit.

The food was good, let down by the service which was disjointed and amateur, first choice for both of us was not available but it took a good five minutes to find that out after ordering. The overall ambience was quite good although the language from the bar sometimes left a lot to be desired, especially as there were children on the premises.

Great place to stop, we were in early afternoon and only stopped for a drink, the landlord was great as were the few locals that were in. The place is very clean and the food sounded good, will eat next time.

We only had a drink here, but they were good value and the staff were very friendly, so would definitely eat here next time we are down in St Agnes.

Pop in for a breakfast after a night out in St Agnes with our son and nephew One of the tastiest fry ups we have had in a long time,cooked fresh to order with plenty of toast and great value for money.

We have been visiting the Peterville, with its frequent changes of staff over the years, for 30 years. It has never provided us with an inspiring dining experience, but we were told that, having changed hands yet again in the past year, it was well worth a visit for the food. Naively, we followed the advice and visited in the spring one evening.Apart from the two male members of staff at the bar (one serving, one drinking) and the female owner-chef we were the only two people there the whole time.Uninspiring and limited menu, we ordered French Onion Soup and Seafood Pie. We were told categorically that the Seafood Pie had run out (who had eaten it? No other customers present or signs that any had been there already) but several minutes later, after a visit to the kitchen, we were told that it was back own the menu so I ordered it.French Onion Soup arrived, a few pale onion strips drowning in a thin watery stock - not caramelised, buttery, sweet or containing a crouton or grated cheese on top. Not French Onion Soup as we all know it so give it a different, correct name on the menu.The Seafood Pie was a collection of mainly mini mussels and clams in a very runny white sauce, no taste of cheese or seasoning/herbs and some piped mashed potato round the edge. This pie had never seen an oven or a grill and was just seafood sauce with mashed potato. I realised then that that was why they had managed to put the dish back on the menu so speedily.We will not be going back.

A very friendly welcome awaits you at Peterville Inn, we had a good laugh with the bar man and there is a good selection of drinks too. We went on a Tuesday which was free pool night! Lovely place, recommend a visit!
