Princess Pavilion in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Tremendous food & service. An absolute credit to Falmouth town

Went to see hollow coves, lovely staff, great atmosphere, limited bar food, better than average selection of drinks, free water. Nice pre gig waiting area

A really lovely place with lots of things to do... Food very good

We watched Ugly Kid Joe and had a fantastic night! Great setting, well organised and fantastic energy!

Beautiful area with a really lovely cafe. Had a delicious cake and cuppa.

Went to an event tonight which was lovely. Went to the bar to buy 2xcans of coke zero and 2x cartoons of apple and mango which cost £10. Very expensive when I asked it was £3 for a can. Won't be going back as that's soo expensive!!

Lovely place to have an afternoon coffee and piece of cake as well as a great venue to see shows such as Fleetwood Mac tribute

One of my favourite places in Falmouth.

When for cma festival very enjoyable. Great accessibility for those in wheelchairs

Watch out for seagulls stealing your food

Nice lunch of quiche and salad. Order at the bar and food is brought to your table. Lovely gardens and atmosphere

Very nice place to visit. The food is good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone

Great little garden near the sea. The pavilion does refreshments. The dark pic is the pebbles in the grotto

Excellent spot great staff good food and often entertainment.

Fantastic venue with great facilities and beautiful gardens.

Lovely view from our holiday apartment, there was always someone tidying up and taking good care of the bandstand and its surroundings.

Great location near the sea and beach. Good street food event Nice music and atmosphere

only visited the gardens, a lovely walk around the grounds.

We visited the craft fair here & listened to a lovely French shanty band on the lawn.

Really excellent facilities and area.

First time to Falmouth and first time w loved the Sunday 2-6-24 band snd music lovely afternoon !!

I spent my long weekend in Falmouth as my little break from London. I have been in Falmouth few times and I found this town lovely place to visit. Last Sunday 26th May 2024 I and few friends went to visit this place which it was very lively with families, live music just by the sea. One moment I went to its bar to get a coffee. There wasn’t busy I stand on queue as it was only one lady being served by a staff named Sam. After 3 mins waiting he finished with this lady and he look at the queue and asked, who next?! I said me! There was a gentleman standing behind me and this staff SAM totally ignored me saying that man was there first and he started taking his order. I could not believe what that happening, I felt totally discriminated by this staff. His colleague apologised after but him didn’t and started being quite rude and arrogant. I work as bartender over 10 years in a busy places in London I never had kind of discrimination by staff, colleagues or costumers. I am not sure if they have proper training to deal with such things. No apologies, no compensation just nothing! I felt so bad being treated like that I was the only few not white person in that restaurant in that moment. I hope they will learn with those situations because it could go in that bad direction.

Went to see crywank and had a good time, good drink selection and nice sized event space.

I saw the band Focus here and the gig was great!

Lovely out of the way place, easily missed. Amazing garden. Quite special.

Interesting visit today! was walking through from gylly to stop here and get a coffee and return to my car in Falmouth and stopped outside to sit on a bench by the bandstand at the far end of the gardens have visited several times with my dog and inside the restaurant without issue (there was a dog loose around the bandstand area) Another unrelated dog came up to mine and the owner briefly dropped the lead so I let mine off the lead to greet they stayed on the grass and were probably 10 ft from me and 40 ft away from anyone in the restaurant, someone came over who didn’t identify themselves but clearly staff? With there badge turned round. So I couldn’t see, and asked me to put him on a lead so I did, I asked her why the unrelated dog (the groundsmans) was off the lead, she went very quiet for a few moments and proudly stated because he’s well behaved-😂 oh the irony. I’m not sure she really understood the whole situation so I chose to leave There are no signs to this effect and the dogs weren’t causing a nuisance her lack of understanding was really disappointing. Ps the last time I ate here a few months they got my order totally wrong and just said would I mind eating the wrongly provided food (which was also without the accompanying side)

Great coffee and cake at a great price!

Very nice cafe in a very nice historic garden

A busy community cafe. Plenty of room with outdoor seating overlooking the bandstand and attractive pavilion, with lots of grassy space for the kids to run about. I really like it. They could do more to meet the needs of people with alternative dietary needs/desires, but that's my only criticism.

Nice for the kids while you have a drink

Just sat in the garden. Very nice setting.

Friendly atmosphere, exceptionally clean with full bar, coffee and great food facilities. Recommend you keep an eye out for a variety of events, many of which are free to just walk in, I'm currently at the Flower Show.

Really clean and organised venue, we went for a gig and they got through the queue very efficiently, the bar queue moved well. It was clean and well thought out. Looking forward to the next time.

Great event space and loads of fun. There are some parking spaces, bit if not the local stresses have parking next to pavement.

Excellent coffee and a sandwich

Libertines gig. Small oldish style venue with cafe and garden. Made the event feel intimate.

Nice venue during the day but wouldn't give us water during or after a nighttime gig which doesn't seem very legal??

Great place to meet up with friends and enjoy a pot of tea and a Pastie for lunch. Love to sit outside when the weather is good.

If you want a cool paced location, thats the best place to go, I went there with someone and it was a lovely session

This place is great! Met up with a bunch of other parents and their young children. They gave us a large table in a side area where the kids could play. The service staff is amazing. Always warm, helpful and friendly. The food, while limited in variety, is always well prepared and delicious. I would recommend this place for a bit of lunch or a group gathering!

The food was delicious! We had a steak and a cheese and onion pastie, with a slice of Cornish Hevva Cake (which was divine!). Apologies, we were ravished after our 4 mile walk and got stuck in before I took any photos! :( The gardens were beautiful! I absolutely adored the selection of Christmas trees, decorated by all the local nurseries and schools. If you're in the area, definitely pop in! You won't regret it :)

Went to see a band. Fabulous venue!

Avoid. Visited for a lunch from the Christmas menu - beef and mushroom pie, chips and red cabbage. Tinned peas, tough beef pieces and in what the red cabbage had been cooked I dread to think. Chips were salted but no mention on menu that they were to be seasoned. People with high blood pressure MUST be given the choice if they want their food seasoned. BUT - it was only £10. Drinks OK. Moved to Falmouth in 1965 so almost a local! Sorry - need to up your game.

Food is good, but limited menu.

The perfect size venue to see a band. Always had a great experience.

Lovely lunch at the Pavilion and some very nice carols played by the Carrick Consort (disclaimer: I was playing with them!! 😂)

No food available on our evening concert visit to see Lottery winners. Been here several times top rated venue. Very friendly and atmospheric venus

Handy place to grab a coffee if it's raining as there is seating inside and under the canopy.

Really good for a variety of events. Although a small venue, it's still great and I would be visiting again

Attended a wedding at this venue and it’s not only a lovely place the staff are very good. We had a wonderful experience

Went the craft fair, still on tomorrow Sunday 19th Nov. Well worth going, full of very skilled crafter's. High lights for me were Cat Haywards stall with her stunning self designed fabrics and bybettyblue with her beautiful swimming coats.Those were the stalls that took all my money. But if I'd had more there were a lot of stalls I'd have spent more .

Such a lovely team and very helpful and welcoming

Been here many times for various occasions, Great Place lots going on.

Attended a wedding reception here, as a maid of honour. The staff were all fantastic! Polite, helpful, friendly, and generally made the whole evening flow effortlessly. The buffet was very nice, with a kids buffet too, which meant everyone was well fed! Beautiful grounds for pictures and overall, a lovely venue.

Watched a wonderful show." Joseph,. Had a nice drink in the bar too. A really lovely venue.!

I visited with some friends last Sunday morning. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful best one I've had in a while. Lovely coffee. Nice clean toilets. Will def visit again

I went to watch Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat and it did not disappoint, the size of the room was just right for an intimate feel but still big enough for the atmosphere to be electric when we gave a standing ovation. Highly recommend.

Superb gardens views and affordable dining. Check out upcoming music events.

Home of Falmouth Reggae Festival. The view is amazing great food..(Caribbean). Great festival..Great people and staff were amazing. Definitely going back next year.💯💯💯🎵🎶🔥

Went to see Wheatus here..... Nice bar area, garden and great small atmosphere for music venue

We love this place! The gardens are very well tended and looked very pretty in the autumn sunshine. The tropical planting is lush and healthy, and the restored shell seats are so sweet. We sat outside with a sea view and ordered brunch from the cafe. The herby baked beans were delicious. Well worth a visit.

Have seen a band and more recently watched a stand up comedian at this venue, i've enjoyed it on both occasions. Lovely feel to the place, facilities all nice and clean and the venue seems well looked after also. Looking forward to returning.

A great place for food, drink. Coffees and lunches. And a fantastic venue for shows. A real local gem. The main garden, play area and gardens are fantastic. We need to support this place!!

Best venue in Cornwall, has a fantastic atmosphere, I've seen many great bands play here.

Beautiful tranquil and family friendly place to have a drink, lunch, meet up, there's a little bit of green for kids to play on, bands come to use the band stand in a the middle for practice and rehearsals. The food is good quality and reasonably priced, the staff are nice but have had issues with certain staff being forceful with their views on gluten free, vegan foods etc. There is an amazing garden next to it to explore and hidden cove of rare sea shells at the bottom of the garden. Cross the road at the bottom and you can go down further to the secret beach down the under the ground.

A lovely place just to chill out with friends or family. You can have a proper meal or just a coffee & a snack, there are plenty of options on the menu. You can sit inside or out in the open. Some of the outside area is under cover so no problem if it rains. There is a reasonable amount of parking right outside the building & also on street parking nearby. There is a small garden that you can have a look around with some lovely views out to the ocean. Whenever I have visited it has never been over busy, which is surprising as it's a lovely place.

Lovely place , scenic ,colourful friendly staff nice calm atmosphere

Really good location, atmosphere and ethical food and drink etc. Great gigs and events. Limited parking at venue though only 3 minutes walk from town railway station and large car park. Impressive, well kept gardens with exotic plant species.

Nice and clean, friendly, helpful staff, good selection of fresh food and drinks. Lots of seating inside and outside, with gardens to sit in and wonder around.

We visited while the Pavilions had their ‘Street eats and beats’ evening on a Thursday and have to say it was brilliant! Lovely variety of street food vendors and beer from the bar while the kids played in a contained space. Background music was great, not intrusive at all. Defo recommend an evening I’m their beer garden!!!

Absolutely stunning place, great for phot shoots

Nicecold building well kept with modern outfitting and all your round events. The gardens are a must if you visit.

We went there to see a concert and it is a great venue for an intimate music experience - except, between bands the doors to the outside are opened and the venue is filled with smoke as all the smokers stand directly outside the doors. This almost completely ruined the evening for us. Smokers should be made to go to a separate area which doesn't impact everybody else's enjoyment of the event. Very, very poorly planned.

Loads going for it as a place - nice grounds, playground for the kids and live music, but the food, oh my, is absolutely incredible.

Wonderful experience, venue, food and drinks. A must if in Falmouth. Live music in evenings really good. Keep an eye out for quality acts at the onsite theatre.

Such a great family friendly spot, always things going on, beautiful cakes and drinks, lovely play area and dog friendly. Perfect little hub by the beach, we visit often.

Nice pleasant place to sit and listen to free performances in the bandstand.. and there's a bar!

We only had coffee the day we went.

We were here for a concert. So no food being served. Lovely building and surroundings. Only downside is that it is located a bit outside the town centre.

Lovely rooms. Bar service. Beautiful grounds.

Beautiful location with historic gardens and great venue and helpful security and staff🥸Well worth a visit to this place so don’t miss out if nearby Richard

Historic, entertainment centre, theatre, bar and restaurant with gardens, band stand. Regular summer concerts, new management but the bar is still functioning

Resturant Review - Poor This place has been going downhill for awhile. Ordered some Steak sandwiches and they took ages even though there was only 3 tables of 2 people. Sandwich was quite tasty but didn’t have much steak in them. Chips were poor. All the condiments on all the tables were empty. Fill your vinegar bottles up! Yeah probably won’t be back. 18th June 23 Update: Just been back with family ordered a Ciabatta roll sandwich and got a normal white bap lol.

This is a beautiful setting. The gardens are well maintained. Stunning plants and flowers. The rooms and theater are well presented and with ample space.

Looks the gala performance but no air conditioning and it was too hot

Beautiful gardens, with a bandstand which local bands play concerts throughout the summer. Cafe was a little expensive with a limited menu.

Awesome venue and lovely gardens. Sound is very good. Nice to have indoor and outdoor venue spaces

This is a little oasis that takes you back in time while having the modern facilities. The theatre is well maintained supporting bands, comedy and performing arts. The delightful gardens have a Mediterranean feel. In the summer, brass bands play in the band stand on Sundays.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thoroughly enjoyed my jacket potato. Best one I have ever had out. Great place to take children aswell. Thankyou so much will definitely be back!

Disgusting prices, £10 for a bacon sandwich! Bread was so small too. 3 slices of streaky bacon, dripping in margarine. Won't be rushing back here!

Casual calm lunch in a wonderful location. A nice place to relax and enjoy brunch or lunch with the family. Gardens are amazing and so well looked after. The staff were friendly and happy. I can imagine it’s a good place for little ones as well because they can run around on the lawn.

Great venue with excellent acoustics and atmosphere.

Such a lovely place to visit. Lovely garden to look out on. Great staff.

The pavilion gardens are lovely and well maintained, with a play area for small children. We ordered two lots of chips and drinks. The chips were £4.50 per portion and were served with a sause. We had to wait quite a while for the chips. Well, when they came out we were horrified by the portion sizes. There were two small, what seemed to be saucers with about a dozen or so chips on each. I know they were served with a sauce but talk about over priced. £2.50-£3.00 would have been more like it. We certainly won't be going back there.

It is great for wheelchair users as good access from the carpark into the building Toilet bit of a squeeze for a wheelchair and 2 people as the baby changing facilities are in there as well Lovely garden to walk around and beautiful when it's all in bloom You can walk down to Cliff Road towards the beach from there, through gillydune gardens. But it is steep, so be prepared for coming back up!! We had hot drinks sat outside, as I was with a disabled person, and unable to leave them unattended. I asked the staff to bring our drinks out to us, and they were happy to oblige Only disappointment was no cakes, maybe we were there too late in the afternoon They did serve an afternoon cream tea for £5.50, but we only wanted a light cake. Maybe we'll try again a bit earlier The band stand used to have brass bands playing, I hope they do this year! Well worth a visit, and even better when everything is in bloom

Lovely place, great coffee and even better cakes

Saw tickets for £11 pound for booked and paid for tickets through see tickets. at no time did anything flash up to warn me that tickets were for wheelchair users and accompanying adult. Pavilions staff accused me of lying saying messages do ping up. only realised when tickets in inbox. Can not get refund from see tickets and insurance I paid extra for will not pay out either. Look elsewhere for an evening out.

Nice place to visit and have a lovely time.
