Quarryman in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Stayed in one of the adjacent Quarryman's Cottages over Christmas and the New Year and had quite a few meals in the pub. Always got a friendly welcome. Not a bad choice on the menu and sampled quite a few dishes during our visits, all of them well cooked and presented and very tasty. Guest cask ales were also very nice. Couldn't fault the service. Traditional Sunday lunch was also very good, with lots of veg and a choice of roast beef or pork.

Charming pub just off the main road. Had a lovely Christmas meal with the family. Staff were friendly, and they had made the place nice and welcoming.

Stopped by here last night for a last minute dinner. Pub was very welcoming, friendly staff. Food...best meal we have had our in the last 2 years down here. Great food. Thank you.

Meal for four. Some elements of each meal were cold or tepid. It was also cold in the Pub. Obviously we should have complained but ideally you shouldn’t serve poor food.

As always, had an excellent dinner at the Quarryman. Hot food that was quick to come out and was delicious! Good range of food on their Christmas menu. Also had wonderful service, the waitresses and barmen were very welcoming and attentive

Great food and atmosphere! Service was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming. The food came out very fast and was of excellent quality.

The Quarryman is a true hidden gem in north Cornwall! From the moment we arrived, we were met with a welcoming atmosphere and a lovely ambience that made us feel instantly at home. The food was outstanding - authentic, fresh and bursting with flavour. We enjoyed perfectly cooked local mussels, a yummy steak ciabatta and fish and chips that were all served beautifully. What also sets The Quarryman apart was the level of service. The staff and landlord went above and beyond to make us feel special, including making extra effort with our 3-year-old daughter. She was made to feel just as important as the adults, which made our visit all the more enjoyable as I do always worry about people not wanting children around. This cosy pub is a wonderful find and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough for anyone visiting the area. We will be back very soon and have already told our various friends who come down to Cornwall as much as we do that they must head to The Quarryman.

An unexpected delight. Popped in for an impromptu late lunch, lovely food and even better service. Many thanks, please don't change!

Lovely food in a cosy atmosphere

Popped in for Sunday lunch, really not the best. Veg not drained properly and beef tough, gravy bland. Staff were excellent, and the service was good.

Friendly staff attentive to your needs.

Another fantastic stay at The wonderful Quarryman. Always the warmest of welcomes, fine ales, delicious meals and excellent service! Once again, thank you to Guy and all the staff for making our trip so comfortable and memorable. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Had dinner here recently and have to say that this is hands down the best place to eat in the area. Great traditional pub food and a really good selection of draft beers. Service was also spot on and the team super welcoming. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area !

Lovely food great service atmosphere very good when in Cornwall again definitely go back

We went for lunch today. Lovely well cooked food. Excellent friendly service.

The meals here are awesome recommend anytime

Warm welcome and the food was amazing, would highly recommend

We’ve been coming to the Quarryman each year on the first night of our hols for a while now. Always a pleasant experience. The Steak and Ale pie is fab together with chips and buttered greens, and ham, egg and chips a welcome pub favourite. Onion rings to be very proud of. The bar area is dog friendly. Ample parking and outside seating if preferred.

I've had nice evening meals there but the Sunday lunch was very disappointing. Tough lamb, overcooked veg and tough potatoes, not nice at all.

Great busy pub, awesome food and service. We liked it so much we went back the next night again while staying at Chapel Farm campsite about 200yards away

Great pub find, just off main Wadebridge road. Great service and excellent beer and food. Will be back!

I would always contact the management first which I did via email but no reply before posting here to give them an opportunityto respond. This is what I said. . Good morning,  We came to you a couple of weeks ago. First time, even though we have been coming to Wadebridge for over 50 years as children and adults. We were really impressed that visit and I decided to bring my wife back last night for a final meal before going home.  2 comments I couldn't see or taste any bacon in my chicken, leek and bacon pie. Was it there? Also the portion of gravy was a bit small so we asked for some extra. The waitress never said it was chargeable but it cost another £1.50. I checked your menu online and it's not on the sides menu that I can see. I have never been charged extra for gravy before! I did question this with the person who I paid but he went from being really polite on arrival to a only pone word yes in quite a forceful manner. I decided not to challenge any further and left still giving a tip for the waitress.  We were both surprised and disappointed. It's not the money but more that we should have been told although I do think charging for gravy after two full meals is ridiculous. I hope this feedback is helpful and delivered politely. 

We came in as a party of 8 having eaten here before. Friendly efficient service. The place is clean and well cared for inside and out and is dog friendly. Having ordered 2 steaks- one sirloin, the other a rib eye, my Dad’s ribeye was very gristly and he barely ate any of it leaving the cut up remnants on his plate. The waiting staff took it away having asked how the meal was and having been informed that the steak was tough said absolutely nothing and offered no apology despite the amount of “meat” left behind. I would have thought that a refund of this meal or some gesture of goodwill might have been offered as my Dad barely ate a mouthful of the £25 steak. When we enquired about this meal being knocked off the bill the waiter said “what you need to realise is that ribeye IS fatty” Please don’t patronise us, we know the difference between gristle and fat. Had we known they would not offer is a reduced bill, we wouldn’t have stayed longer and ordered dessert.. All restaurants can have issues with some of the food they serve but this problem could have been resolved professionally and fairly and the resulting review here would have been glowing. Poor customer service costs restaurants repeat business - not to mention the all Important loss of word of mouth recommendations. Such a shame as all other meals were lovely and no complaints, but we won’t be back on the basis that we left feeling ripped off.

We searched on here to find a decent pub for a Sunday dinner and it was lovely. A lovely little pub with friendly staff and amazing food and decently priced.

Pizza was really nice and my partner had a burger that was really nice as well

Sat outside the front door on a windy day. Great real ale

Very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, we had cheesy chips and a lovely pint, we will be back!

Couldn't fault anything, the service was excellent, the food was even more impressive... I had the special crab salad... completely blown away.......

What a find this place was. A proper pub. The staff were great and gave our daft dog treats. The vegetable lasagne was the nicest I've had eating out, very tasty with a good selection of veg. Chips hand cut and delicious not your normal same old... Soup and whitebait starter were great. Will definitely be back

Popped in for dinner and a pint after cycling the Camel trail. Stayed at the nearby Laurels campsite. Staff were friendly and attentive, food was reasonably priced and decent sized portions. Steak was well cooked as I asked it to be. Local cider was very nice. Nicely decorated to match the Quarryman style and period with photos and relevant artwork. Would recommend if you're in the area.

Great food & service .Had the steak & wife had lasagne .My steak was cooked to perfection.Desert was lovely.Look forward to a return visit

Great pub food had the steak which was cooked lovely &rare.Wife had the veggie lasagne which she enjoyed .Dessert was fab .Pleasant staff & reasonable prices too.Our friends enjoyed it too

Food and service were excellent. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent off the beaten track pub. Good selection of beers, but ultimately the food shone out. Excellent tasting food at reasonable prices. Plenty of parking available opposite

Very tasty food for a reasonable price

Met family, friendly, hospitable and good food and drink

Very tasty vegetable lasagne salad garlic bread.chicken bacon pie and new potatoes and vegetables. Sea bass special board we all enjoyed the food

After recent disappointment in the midlands at various pubs I went here with somewhat low expectations. However, we were absolutely overwhelmed with the service and standard of food. The menu is basic and typical English pub main meal fare. Nothing wrong with that, any food whether traditional, modern or fusion etc just needs to be done properly. The fish and chips and steak were of the highest standards and it’s a shame we couldn’t stay to try the Sunday menu. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food. Friendly staff and quick service

Devo dire piacevolissima sorpresa, posto tranquillo, ottima birra, ottimo cibo e...il titolare parla italiano meglio di me! per questo lascio la recensione in italiano. Davvero un bel posto, non so se tornerò mai nella splendida Cornwall, ma dovesse capitare, tornerò anche al Quarryman di Wadebridge!

Very nice home make chips and the steak was cook the way I like it and good stuff if am back here again I hope to eat in it again its five star food

Excellent Gastro pub, super friendly despite the exceptionally busy time over the Royal Cornwall Show. Stacey was an absolute star! Great services, the Bass was excellent. Highly recommend.

I read a review saying that the chicken, leek and bacon pie had no chicken in it. I thought this can’t be true, so I ordered it. Literally not a single piece of chicken and just one tiny bit of bacon. Chef’s gravy was most definitely Bisto.tasting. Such a shame as this is a nice little pub, the staff are delightful too- food at best average. Don’t order the pie. They did bring me a a burger instead, but they really should not be selling chicken pie with no chicken in it.

The actual staff were really nice but the rest of this place was just really poor! Waited over an hour for our mains when it wasn’t even that busy. And it’s very pricey considering the standard of food, could probably cook better at home. Very disappointed! And the overall decor is like you are in some very very old rugby social club and has a stail smell. Do not recommend.

Never been before but will definitely be returning 😌

Were in a house next door. You can eat well there and have enough on your plate. You can also enjoy a beer in the pub.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and quick, friendly service too!

The place for a really good pint in fine surroundings.

Lovely pup with friendly and efficient staff, food was lovely will be visiting again.

The food on this establishment is very good indeed. I have not been disappointed. The staff are all very friendly too. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Maybe we caught them on an off day but we were not impressed. Chips were soggy and overcooked (fat not hot enough or reheated) chicken and leek pie had a lid which looked to be cooked separately, not much chicken and served with leek and broccoli. Already plenty of leek in the pie! Chefs gravy was uninspired. Very friendly and good service but the food was disappointing.

We visited on the off chance for our evening meal. The service and food were both excellent. A good selection of beers and local food were available . Attentive staff made us feel at home, no pressure to order. The dining area was busy with people of all ages. If I lived closer this would be my local pub.

Very nice and friendly. Service was about to end and they gave us plenty of warning, and took the order efficiently even though we went off menu a bit without making us feel like it was rushed. We were asked if we wanted more drinks half way through the food which is my personal green flag! I'm now asleep in the car, being driven home.

Large group of us descended on the pub (we had pre-booked) they handled us in there stride … food came out in a timely manner and was good, bar staff did a great job of keeping up with our orders, good selection of cider and beers….. happy to recommend it

Our first visit and definitely not our last. We all had roast beef which was cooked to perfection. The bar staff and waitresses were all excellent, attentive and friendly. Highly recommended….

The food is very good. Friendly staff and a good selection of drinks.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, good price and very friendly and helpful staff. Big thanks for Ben !

Always great service and food .

Always pleasant staff & food lovely

We booked and stopped here (family of 14) for sunday lunch after a weekend break at Retallack (less than 10 mins away). As well as being a very convenient stop, the staff were very welcoming and accommodating to our large party. The food and service was excellent and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend and would have no issue stopping here more often en route home from Newquay, the 7 bays or Wadebridge and Padstow.

Badminton Christmas dinner always very good there 😊

Always great service and good variety of food from the menu and specials board, there is a great selection of drinks at the bar, highly recommended.

Lovely people, food and atmosphere.

Great food and service from the staff . Steak was cooked to perfection. I struggle with noisy eateries, where sound bounces around, and it was a busy night. Other than that, I definitely recommend a visit.

Gentleman in the bar was extremely rude, drank up and left The barmaid was excellent polite and service excellent

One of the worst Sunday lunches I have ever eaten. Cold plates, pre sliced meat, un seasoned vegetables just slopped on plates, and the same watery gravy served with the Beef and Lamb options. The landlord informed of my disappointment and he confirmed the food was not up to the standard they expect and chef had since left… but not willing to make things right; hence we will not be returning nor recommending to visitors. As an aside - the outside of the pub is charming. Inside is really dated, tables crammed together with no personal space, uncomfortable pine chairs to sit on, and overpriced badly cooked food.

Three of us ate here with our son. The staff was super friendly, the food came very quickly and tasted like a dream! If you like cheese as a starter you should definitely try the goat cheese. The fireplace was on, what more could you want ;)

The three of us ate here today and can only recommend it. The waitress was very friendly and immediately brought us a children's menu for our son. She always tried to fulfill our every wish during the meal and afterwards. The food was first class. We have never tasted such good goat cheese. The T-bone steak was grilled to perfection. The scampis were so delicious and even our son (very special in taste) ate everything. Unfortunately we live too far away, otherwise we would like to come back.

A well hosted pub with great food and a fantastic selection of cask ales with a ever changing programme. Worth seeking out for lunch or dinner.

Delicious food, so welcoming and reasonably priced.

Amazing food, very amenable and attentive staff. Lovely lunch

More than pleased with food and service price was good too would highly recommend

Brilliant food, a lovely family run establishment. Well worth a visit.

Popular pub that does great value Sunday Lunch (we haven’t been at other times) Great service, cosy atmosphere and great food.

Wonderful home cooked Sunday lunch, warm and friendly welcome

Just back from another enjoyable stay at The Quarryman. Comfortable, clean well-equipped cottages. Excellent breakfasts and evening meals and superb ales on tap. And the staff and service could not have been better-thank you to Guy and all the Team. Already looking forward to our next stay. Highly recommended.

Sunday lunch Pre plated on cold plates Tough meat and over cooked veg

Stumbled across this gem of a pub. Service was friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was local and lively while being welcoming to strangers. The food was outstanding. Best burger and homemade coleslaw we have ever had. Will definitely be back. Staff the perfect balance of attentive but not intrusive. Absolutely recommend you visit if nearby.

Sunday lunch Met with friends for Sunday lunch. Very disappointed as eaten here many times before. Won't be visiting or recommending. We all ordered the roast beef arrived pre plated on cold plates, swimming in gravy meat tough veg over cooked. Had to ask for condiments Would not recommend

The best ccrnish hake l had every had and chips and a nice drink of beer

This is the most beautiful pub in a lovely loction , plenty of parking , great beers , wines ,ETC , staff are great friendly and helpful , the food is second to none . it has a lovely out side eating or just drinking area ,

We’ve been before so decided to book again while on a stopover near Wadebridge. Consistent good food and nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Dogs welcome in the bar area and ample parking available.

As a local, I love this pub. Its got a real old Cornish pub feel to it but its not dated and its well looked after. Its cozy, staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is great. I organised large a surprise birthday party the staff went above and beyond for us, made it very special. Nearly everyone had steak and it was very well received. Highly recommended too all.

Absolutely fabulous hosting, food and an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and local patrons. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

We first visited the area as we booked a cottage nearby in 2020 and sadly the pub was closed due to COVID. When we returned this year I was happy that it was open and trading again. I have to say that the Quarryman exceeded my expectations, the food was superb (the crab is a must), the beer crisp snd the pub is immaculately clean. Having been in catering for 27yrs I can't express how impressed i ewas by the friendly and supremely efficient staff, they are a credit to the buisness.

Love this place and dog friendly

I really liked this pub - went for lunch - it is in a lovely quiet spot , it has tables outside for a sunny day. The food was good all round and the staff were friendly.

Crab sandwich was ok, but nothing special seeing it was £15 !

Great food lovely staff friendly landlord.

Lovely, very friendly and accommodating staff too and nice and relaxed atmosphere. Food was very nice and fab portion.

Excellent service lovely food Will definitely be going back .

We went to the pub for Sunday dinner as we had not long arrived in the area and then popped in a few times for a pint or two throughout our stay! Can’t complain at all, the sunday dinner was very tasty and the staff were lovely, it can be expensive with drinks but can’t think of anywhere that isn’t pricey nowadays really so this is no more so than anywhere else! It was always busy in the evening with food bookings so more like a restaurant than a pub as it’s not huge and tables were needed for diners so book if you want to eat and go before 5pm if you want to chill for a bit and have a drink! Would recommend a visit!

The best fish & chips and calamari by far!! We're are 100% coming back to try the rest if the menu

Lovely pub, great food. Friendly service and comfortable surroundings. Has rooms available too. Highly recommended

What an absolute find , having lived in Cornwall for twenty plus years it’s only when I leave I find this country pub , amazing food, service … see you soon …

Great food very welcoming and great services Would recommend to any one of

Great restaurant! A mix of pub and restaurant. The quality of the food is very good, everything is freshly prepared. The service is also top. It is advisable to make a reservation on the weekend, and you can also get a table during the week. If the weather is good you can also sit outside. We would love to come back on our next trip to Cornwall.

Food was lovely as we're the staff. We had fish and scampi Very good value and will definitely be back.

Had a great meal here, lovely food and staff very polite will definitely go back😄
