Pityme Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We were on holiday and ended up eating here 3 times. We had our dog who typically was nervous in eating places so we never bothered eating out, we were given a table in the corner and asked for the same one every time which they obliged as she was settled, it helped that the staff were all so helpful and the food was so nice, would highly recommend the Pityme Inn and we will visit again, it made our holiday

Always tricky to know where to go for a good Sunday roast. Looked all over and settled on Pityme Inn, we weren’t disappointed. A great roast, fantastic gravy and great service. 5* well deserved, thanks.

Disappointing, the food was very standard and the chip potions are very small. Also, I’m not sure what was burnt in the kitchen but the whole place stank of burnt fat

Stayed in 2 rooms prior to a wedding, rooms are clean and comfortable, bar is welcoming, with plenty of choice, didn't eat but the food looked good. Ideal place to stay for a few nights

The food a steak was fabulous and staff friendly with good choice BUT if you are not a dog lover avoid. They welcome dogs and owners but no respect for those that do not want slobering pouches by their table when they eat No seperation . So spoiled an otherwise nice meal

On holiday for a week and we visited 3 times. First time was for a drink only, second for an evening meal and thenthirdnfir Sunday lunch. On all occasions, service was friendly, attentive (without being in your face or false) and courteous. Our evening meal was a beautiful piece of grilled haddock in a very tasty sauce with vegetables and potatoes. We also ordered a side of truffled mac n cheese. It was absolutely amazing. Sunday lunch was probably the best I've ever eaten as a pub dining experience and I've eaten a fair few in my 59 years. We opted for the 3 meat version of beef, pork and turkey. The vegetable selection was interesting and perfectly cooked. The giant yorkshire pudding was delicious but for me, the roast potatoes and gravy were the jewels in the very large crown. There was no room for pudding but on our evening visit, we did share the amaretto chocolate torte, which was fantastic 😀. For the quality and portion sizes, I would say The Pityme Inn is excellent value for money.

Ein sehr netter Pub mit typischem, sehr gutem Essen, guter Getränkeauswahl und nettem Service. Bei gutem Wetter kann man schön draußen sitzen. Wenn wir in der Gegend sind, kommen wir sicher wieder.

Stayed here for a few nights over the summer!!! Fantastic place to stay! Great service! Excellent full english breakfast, the manager I think his name was Robby was great! Will stay again!! The Chicken Burger - Best I've tasted!!!

Beautiful meals, could not fault a thing. I had the sausages and mash, very tasty. Lovely staff Well worth a visit. There was a lovely outdoor area as well as indoor

Dinner for 4 adults in a ‘pod’ which is, in reality, a shed. Note to management: please, please could you treat the floors of the pods in the same way as you must attend to floors inside your pub, ie as clean as you can make them? Our pod was not clean. Not even one out of ten clean. The rectangular, glass table would work so much better with the heavy crockery if you could only provide a table MAT for each customer. The unavoidable loud and unwanted music inside our pod put a cloud over the evening. A silly situation which you could easily rectify. We asked if it could please be turned off in our pod (apparent Not possible) and for a while the volume was reduced. Then it was suddenly turned up again and normal conversation stopped. Front of house staff need basic training in how to make clients feel valued and welcomed. The cheerful member of staff looking after us, however (Emily) was delightful, attentive and polite. I was not a big fan of the plant based burger. Looked like leather and tasted like cardboard. The chips were great, though. The Car park is too small. Not a lot you can do about that. The staff were seen to be doing their best but, as we left, we passed five uncleared tables right by the entrance, which would have given a bad impression to anyone coming in. I would urge whoever is in charge of this pub to ‘be a customer’: see how you are welcomed: sit inside a pod and check out the cleanliness. Order a meal and see how much better table mats could improve the crockery/glass table issue, when food is brought in: close the door to the pod and see if you could converse against the noise emanating from the speaker: try the vegan burger, I dare you. Not the best experience, I’m afraid.

The Pityme Inn never fails! We were a walk-in group, fairly early in the evening - just as well as by seven the place was filling up. The team and food cannot be faulted. The service was swift and attentive, our friendly server checked back to make sure we were happy with our drinks and meal - which we were. The restaurant is so clean and fresh, decor hits exactly the right note for a family friendly venue just off the coast. Lots of light flooding thru the windows, we could see outside dining areas which we can't wait to try on warmer evenings. Roll on summer, we'll be back! 5*+

Perfection - great food, lovely outdoor spots for groups to enjoy hearty food in private little huts. Good non alcoholic options, too! Neighbouring shop offers high quality produce. Really added to our holiday experience and was worth the drive from where we stayed.

We’ve had some really good meals at The Pityme over the last few years but inconsistency in preparation and presentation often seem to spoil the experience. Sadly, last night’s visit was no exception. My wife ordered the Greek Salad as a main course (£15) but was seriously underwhelmed and disappointed with what was put in front of her. It smacked of a total lack of knowledge and imagination in the kitchen. A large bowl of iceberg lettuce with large (quartered) tomatoes, some onions and cucumber (not enough) and what looked like mashed feta cheese on the top. Salad, it might have been - Greek, it certainly wasn’t. No herbs like Oregano, no dressing, just bland and very ordinary. Come on Pityme, you can do better than that! Our great waitress was very understanding and took the “Greek Salad” away to presumably put it out of it’s misery. My Fish and Chips was lovely. Good value, well cooked and plenty of it, as I remembered from previous visits to this lovely Pub Restaurant. Wine and beer are good quality and well presented, the staff are friendly and welcoming. I write this review simply to prompt the Pityme to up their game by a notch or two. We look forward to returning in the future.

This is my first time being here but my colleague has been here before, we do deep cleans on kitchens and instantly just fell in love with the ambiance of the place. Staff soo friendly, and especially sitting by the fire , class place , I loved it wonderful

This is a busy, but friendly pub in St Minver, Cornwall. We came today for a late Sunday lunch, following a long beach walk, and we were not disappointed. Friendly service and the food was excellent value for money. We're very fussy about Sunday Roasts, and there was not one single aspect of the meal, or experience, that we could fault. It was a lovely meal with roast meats, roast potatoes, roast parsnips and a wide offering of different vegetables. Everything on the plate was very well cooked and the gravy was delicious. The only comment that we could perhaps make was that we were all so completely stuffed that none of us were able to manage dessert which was a shame as the menu looked lovely. We will definitely be visiting again.

Popped in for some food and a coffee after a drizzly walk to the local church. Rob was very polite and courteous, nothing was too much trouble. Loved the fresh interior and traditional feel of the pub. Would highly recommend as a pit stop either to or from Rock. Found out that the owners have a few others too including the London Inn at Padstow! Another firm favourite. Can’t wait to come back!

Really lovely pub. Quirky and unique from the outside, clean, modern and minimal inside, while retaining it’s charm. The gentleman who greeted and served us couldn’t have been more accommodating, even lighting the fire for us, which was perfect after a brisk February walk on Rock beach. Great selection of beers, really pleased to see a Beavertown on tap! Lots of local stuff too, (the old man can’t stand a Cornish pub that doesn’t serve rattler, luckily they did) We had a quick bite to eat, lovely pizza, clearly handmade and really hit the spot. Overall a really nice experience. We’ll be back regularly. We’ll definitely be there for the live music nights. I’ve lived in the Wadebridge area for 5 years, kicking myself that I haven’t visited before. It’s a bit of a trek but we’ll be making it out new local. Thanks Pityme Inn! Thanks Pityme I’m.

We had a one night stay booked as we were visiting family who live near by. We checked in to our room which initially appeared quite pleasant (although quite small and chilly) but instantly saw dirty windows covered in cobwebs. Once we had a little look around the room we realised it hadn’t had a proper clean in a very long time and there was thick dust and general grubiness all round. Shower was particularly grimy and the bathroom was complete with a half used toilet roll and half empty soap/shower gel dispensers! We assumed there had been a mistake and we had been put in the wrong room but the lovely lady on reception we spoke to went and checked another room for us to move to but it was ‘cleaned’ to the same standard. She gave us a drink in the bar whilst she went and cleaned another room for us as best she could.

Love it here.. Great friendly staff and a nice welcoming atmosphere, food was impeccable as usual ... Will be back very soon.

Came here last night. We come to Cornwall in this area a lot but have never been to this pub. It’s really lovely and quite contemporary on the inside. We had booked a table and were promptly seated and given menus and drinks order taken. There were 5 of us and had starters and mains - whitebait, chicken wings, chorizo sausages and 2 soups- all delicious. Then prawn pizza, scampi, fish and chips and 2 seafood curries (the curry was delicious) everyone really enjoyed their food and the serving staff were lovely. I couldn’t fault the place and can’t wait to return.

Most delicious relaxed supper with a great team making sure our family reunion on this special evening was perfect. All food choices were well presented and nothing disappointed. We appreciated the bubbly to mark our anniversary and just had a wonderful evening.

Went here last year and was mediocre so we gave it another chance again this year.We were very disappointed as service took over an hour and food was much below expected.The choices were very limited and similar. The chicken curry was tough and plain and the sauce was bland and tasted like it had been there for a while.We were disappointed as nothing was fresh and wasn't that cheap either.

We were a party of 10 on a Sunday evening our food was poor the roast was microwaved and mine even had a tue sticker in it ! It wasn’t that hot either. The chicken burger my son had he said had like a lump of gristle in it . The staff were like we were an inconvenience for them my husband had the fish curry and found hair in it . We had puddings and they were not that much better either . Our meals came out slow they were not all brought out together it was a real shame as we are local but won’t be going again .

Disappointed with the mussels after reading great reviews, many of mine were gritty, making eating them difficult. Three other mains came out with the fourth a short time later. All other means were enjoyed. Service wasn't great, slow, and we had to ask for drinks, even had to remind staff that we had ordered extra drinks when we saw it waiting on the bar. We had to ask for extra cutlery after we had eaten our starters. Not sure if would return, lots of other excellent resturant in the area serving great food with impeccable service.

We booked for Sunday lunch last weekend and found the Pitme Inn to be a fabulous experience. The food was piping hot and very tasty (stuffing balls are a must ) the service was friendly and we plan to return later this week , also very dog friendly which for us is a bonus .

On the first night of our holiday we enjoyed a meal at the Pityme Inn - fish Thai curry and the prawn and smoked salmon pizza. Both lovely! Our final act before we left for home was to have breakfast here. The cappuccinos were lovely and we both really enjoyed our smashed avocado and poached eggs, and Eggs Benedict. We also used the shop several times - buying the frozen dinners. We enjoyed the fish pie, lasagne and chicken korma. The shop stocks a good range of produce. We found the service friendly. We’ll definitely be back when we return to the area next year!

So you order from the menu and are given something else, Dover sole replaced by haddock, no announcement that your meal is not available, just replaced with some dried up fish. Apparently I am aggressive for calling this out. Nice try! Your food is shocking and pityme has been dying for years now and now you have hit the bottom!

The Pityme Inn is a great pub with a warm ambience and excellent service. We ate outside in one of the Pods which we really liked. The food was very good. We enjoyed the fish and chips and burger, which my husband said was one of the best he had eaten. The staff were efficient and friendly, continually checking we were ok for drinks etc. We would definitely return when visiting next year!

We booked a table but didn’t actually eat there. Unfortunately the place didn’t feel clean the tables were sticky and glasses were cloudy. It was a shame as we had been recommended by a friend.

Very clean accommodation and very friendly helpful staff. The pub and restaurant was excellent. Possibly the best steak I have had in a long time.

We went for Sunday lunch. Wow we really had a lovely meal. The stuffing balls are a must Staff were really lovely and very helpful Its also dog friendly Its a must. We enjoyed it so much we returned later in the week. Again not disappointed

Service and food was good. Although it did feel like we were eating at the dogs home. There were dogs at every table. We do not feel dogs should be in restaurants, but at the very least let’s have more people than dogs.

We were really looking forward to going here having driven past a couple of times during our stay in Cornwall. Our bill for 2 burgers (one meat and one vegan) and 2 soft drinks with a side of onion rings came to over £50. My...

We live nearby and had some friends visit, thought it would be quiet as kids back on school now but was pleasantly surprised to see the place full, the weather helped fill the outside area too... We had a great experience from being greeted by...

In a party of six - most enjoyed their food so I can only make a personal review. Was unhappy with the Madras Curry. But I must say that staff were extremely pleasant And atmosphere good

Disappointed, served a drink and it tasted of salt but the glass was at least clean. Two of our meals were delivered and given to another table. The waitress seemed unbothered and offered to take the lime and soda water off the bill. When challenged...

Awful experience. Staff shambolic. No manager in sight. Lots of young servers who didn’t care what went on. Dirty wine glasses took 20 mins to replace. Waited 30 mins for drinks, in spite of arriving before 7pm, so quiet time. Food was flavourless and very...

Disappointing. Dirty glasses, should have been a warning sign. My choice was King Prawn curry, should have been called soup, just 5 prawns and a bowl of very thin curry sauce. Hubby had Chicken Madras, ok but an extremely small portion. My sister chose the...

Second time in two days. Drinks the first night,food and drinks the Second night. Absolutely fantastic. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Food delicious a lovely warm welcome atmosphere on both occasions would highly recommend.

Whilst spending a week at a friends cottage in Rock we visited here on three occasions. The staff are hardworking and welcomed my family and two doggy friends, nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing each evening and I would especially recommend the...

main meals were great, DO NOT ORDER THE SORBET, appalling portion sizes, absolute RIPOFF!!! £6 for a single scoop🤬

Firstly; the setting, the quirkiness and atmosphere of the restaurant is a good 4.5 stars, it’s set nicely, the bar is cosy, there is ample outside seating and some little sheds you can book for a unique experience. There is a small shop attached too...

We went here twice whilst on holiday in the area. The first time was for Sunday lunch and the second time was for an evening meal. We had 2 very different experiences in terms of service but the food was delicious both times. On the...

Food was very poor, tasteless burgers and curry’s. Service was good however. Sadly we won’t be visiting again.

We had a shambolic visit to the Pityme Inn. What appears to have happened is that the pub booked way too many tables when they don’t have the staff to support their many guests. First, we turned up at our booked time and had to...

Off to a promising start as we were shown to a cute pod/shed outside in the beer garden. Nicely decorated & with music. Drinks order and food order taken quickly and first round of drinks served quickly too but we were then totally forgotten about...

Great staff, very knowledgeable and helpful. It took a while for someone to appear behind the bar to serve drinks but we were shown to our table promptly. The food was first class and piping hot. My only criticism was that the batter on my...

Starter ok, but don’t have so called meat feast pizza, definitely no meat. We respectfully provided feedback, but they did not even have decency to respond. Speaks volumes about the pityme inn! Definitely not recommend. All we want is a good local pub, not here...

We were looking forward to our meal at the Pityme Inn, as we had been before and the food was good, however when we got there we were met by a waitress who didn’t say hello just “have you got a booking?”we ordered only to...

Amazing food. Great value £18 for the triple meat selection. Plenty of it. Great quality of meat and an excellent selection of vegetables. Service was friendly and attentive, we were outside in one of the pods and weren’t forgotten even with a busy restaurant. Thank...

Overpriced and will give this pub a miss for a few years. The pub was not particularly busy which is unusual, but we were shown to a shed/ pod in the garden which was cold and no atmosphere - we had not booked a pod...

Stayed for one night. Room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was lovely . Had the belly pork and there was loads

Food was very nice, service and staff good but I did feel it was overpriced for the amount you get.

We booked in for a meal after staying locally for our holiday. Food was fantastic, beer was great and the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. Will definitely be returning on our next trip to Cornwall!

Wonderful, just wonderful! Four of us plus a dog dined here last Saturday and everything was faultless. The food was terrific - good quality ingredients, seasoned and cooked well, good sized dishes and well presented. The service was great very welcoming for dogs, with their...

We enjoyed our food and the portions were good. The burger included delicious fries and my chowder was good too. It was raining so we couldn’t go outside, but they had lots of cute outdoor dining areas.

Didn’t have a booking but the excellent team there found us one. Good menu well presented, food and staff great,

This is a great place to eat - relaxed atmosphere, great choice of menu, lovely decor and friendly service. There is garden seating and also individual pods which seat 6. Highly recommended.

Ordered smoked Haddock chowder with king prawn's , muscles , bacon & Italian bread … costing £27 … came with no smoked haddock chunks at all , 2 prawns , muscles which i could have purchased vacuumed packed from Morrisons for a couple of quid...

We’ve eaten twice here in the last two weeks and also stopped off for a drink one afternoon. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and with generous portions. The mussels are very good in particular. The staff are simply great, all very friendly and helpful,...

It’s a lovely set up inside, the staff were friendly and I ordered the chicken burger, which was spot on and the best I’ve ever had. Desserts were tasty too.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff, fast service and great food, thank you for a great experience, went with my family, we were well looked after 10/10.

Accomodation was very good, clean comfortable and clean however the food left a lot to be desired, and overpriced.

Very poor, worse meal I’ve had for a long time. We both couldn’t finish our meals such a pity as it is a pleasant venue and service was fine. We have been in the past and found it ok but must have gone on an...

Great service even though the pub was busy. Staff were very helpful. We had a lovely meal as a couple, portions were generous and the food was good quality.

This Inn is wonderful. There has been a lot of thought put into this inn. The decor is very nice. The layout is really comfy and inviting. The food is excellent and so is the beer. Dog friendly too. Will definitely be visiting again.

We were looking forward to visiting Pityme again, last visit September 2022. Sorry to say this latest visit did not come up to expectations. Our food was fine, perhaps not as generous as last time though. Our main complaint is over the service. The wine...

Visited for Sunday dinner and immediately regretted supporting this business. Was very disappointed with the quality of the food and service. Obvious cost cutting at every opportunity. Poor food quality and terrible rushed service. They just want your money. It's obvious they don't care for...

A last minute decision to eat out for Sunday lunch rather than at home and I wish we hadn’t. Slow to non existent service, roast beef that was actually one over cooked lump of something that just about resembled beef. I got the feeling that...

Have been visiting the Pityme Inn for many years. Arrived to find the place had been refurbished, all very nice but for me it has lost its cosyiness. I found the menu unimaginative Burgers, fish and chips! Pork belly, all standard stuff. On a positive...

We waited 45 minutes for starters and it was half full. The food was greasy and catering-college quality.

Wonderful food and service, chowder was yummy! Also had a mackerel pate, wonderful stater. A good selection of wine & beer.

Attending a memorial get together for a dear friend. Given sole use of a large area and the food was very good indeed. Well organised staff. Parking was not a problem.

We were a group of hungry walkers, looking for a hearty lunch. This has the feel of a modern hotel, rather than a cosy pub. However, the staff were friendly and efficient, and it was one of the best pub Sunday roasts I've eaten. I...

Great stay. Friendly staff , lovely pub. Good food. Room basic but modern ,very clean and bright. Perfect location for us to surprise our friends in Polzeath and also travel out and about. We Definitely would stay again! Only down no breakfast included but is...

My wife and I went to the Pityme Inn for Valentines Day and we had a fantastic time. The pub looks fantastic in its new layout and decor. The staff were super friendly as always and the food was fantastic. We had the baked Camembert...

Found this pub online whilst staying in the local area the menu looked good and had a variety of dishes. Booked a table for 4, when we arrived we had a long wait to be seated and there did not seem to be any waiting...

We have stayed in the Daymer room before. Again it could not be faulted. We ate breakfast in the newly refurbished restaurant which I might add is stunning and a credit to the owners. The breakfast however was disappointing. It took 40 mins to arrive...

We tried the Pityme again after a break of some time……thought perhaps after the refurbishment the food and service would be looked at and improved, but sadly no. It is such a shame as we are locals and would love to have a good eatery...

…but the food was very ordinary. Poorly presented. Main meal took 40 mins to arrive. The green veg were lacking flavour. Chips came in small pieces. The sticky toffee pudding was poorly presented. I’m sure things will improve. We need a good alternative to the...

We visited on Sunday 11th and arrived to a quiet restaurant, on its reopening after the refurbishment and it’s looks lovely, great fire and comfy furniture. We were seated and orders taken pretty quickly, but we were only 1 of 3 tables.. I guess after...

Booked for a Sunday roast for 4 - we had a fussy eating child with us . After not being able to swap out enough of the options on the roast , he went for a kids sausage, mash and peas instead for £7. There...

Had dinner after driving down for four hours and it was just what was wanted. Great staff and the Sunday roast was still going strong in the evening. A tasty treat for a weary traveller

Quality food 5 star service had a great time cheesecake was to die for good choice on the menu good atmosphere and dog friendly

Had lunch at thr pityme Inn yesterday, my wife ordered ham egg and chips, I ordered fish and chips. The food was absolutely delicious the ham was thick cutt with two fried eggs and a pile of chips, my fish was massive and thick in...

You do not have to pity me. The place, food and staff beyond reproach and we will be returning many times Danny Rose 15-09-2022

We arrived travel weary on 2nd September and they managed to squeeze us in though we hadn't booked, nice pub grub and friendly service. So, we booked for our last night, 8th September, and were served by Leonie, she was terrific. Attentive without being overwhelming...

Great menu lots of interesting options . We chose king prawns, satay chicken and scallops followed by hake and a burger. Very tasty .

We found the Inn by a chance passing by whilst on holiday. We booked a table for the evening in one of the pods in the garden. We had a warm welcome and where shown to our table which was cosy and novel. Two of...

Nan's sausage and creamy mash was noticeably lacking in creamy mash, rather it was a coarse oversalted inedible stodge- the veg was undercooked, the sausages were unremarkable but adequate. The 3 burgers and chips were slightly undercooked and chips scant, but again adequate. The mushroom...

What a miserable, disappointing visit. A total waste of our money. A few years ago this pub had the most terrible reputation. Last year we decided to try it again and it actually wasn’t too bad. In the basis of that & all our preferred...

Extremely disappointed with the food no Yorkshire puddings with the roast beef and more fat on my plate than meat The vegetables were very charred and dominated the taste. However the staff were friendly and did reimburse my meal

Disappointed by Sunday roast. Soggy veg, processed turkey, no hassleback roasts and dry yorkie puds Nice staff tho

Pub looks great but the food was very disappointing for the price of the meal. We had a family meal this evening. The in-laws had the mushroom pasta which was extremely dry and tasteless and certainly not creamy in the slightest. My wife and I...

A nice spacious pub with a great beer selection along with a comprehensive menu. Accommodation is available to though not tested on this visit.

Had heard such great things about this place when we decided to go out with friends we decided to give this place a go. Upon arrival we waited at a busy bar with only one serving to get drinks whilst we waited for the other...

The service is friendly and in good time but I probably chose the wrong dish. I chose the chicken curry and the chicken was tough. Check your bill as we were overcharged.

Lovely time sat in the pods they were really nice, great background music too. The service was great, food was really nice, all fresh.

Visited here on recommendation from Rodney the fisherman! We tend to have low expectations coming from a tourist area ourselves, however we were not disappointed. The drinks and the food came promptly. The Sunday lunch was enjoyed by all. Pudding was something else the size...

We booked an outside pod for an early evening meal last Sunday. It was nice in the pods, although we could have done with more air circulation in the (very high) heat of the day. The cocktails were excellent - large and long, so very...
