Radjel Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Called in for a drink. Disinterested landlord could barely make eye contact with us. No attempt to converse and mumbled thank you as we left. There was no one else in the pub, I’m not surprised. We won’t go back.

Lovely traditional pub with 5 of the St Austell ales available on cask. Other pub in village only had two. Bar staff were friendly and welcoming and we had a great time on the nights we visited. Also took covid seriously with sanitizer and notices to wear masks when not seated which was nice.

Good local korev and rattler. Outside seating and reasonable prices. The owners are very nice and good pub to chill.

Great Cornish drinks, fab historic interior largely preserved. Evening sun outside tables, lovely choice of crisps. Cannot understand what peeps are looking for when in Cornwall - something that feels like the Mediterranean or a Weatherspoon? Something trendy and corporate? This is the real deal go there before it vanishes. ❤️

What a lovely old Cornish pub, a must if your nearby , good food, good ales and a great atmosphere, visit.

A bit apprehensive on arrival as didn’t seem ready for service and a bit basic However the landlady was very friendly and helpful. We ordered chili with chips, the curry and a toasted sandwich. Wonderful tasty food. Very impressed and so glad we stopped Lost a star for ambience but we made our own. £28 for three meals and three drinks which is in line with most pubs

Staying local we thought supporting the local pub would be a good idea. Well the place was like a morgue and we was charged £9.10 for two pints of lager 😮 Shocking a rip off pub avoid

We cycled through Pendeen and stopped at every pub for a drink. All the pubs were lovely except this one! As I opened the door into the lounge area I was attacked by a large ferocious dog ... it’s bark was not worse than it’s bite as it nearly took my hand off! I felt it’s teeth in my skin and retreated quickly. Thank goodness this wasn’t a child coming in. There was no apology from the staff, they were more disgruntled that I had disturbed the dog and locked the door to the room. Meanwhile in the bar the landlady was busy arguing with one of the locals who wanted to go into the lounge area to watch the cricket. The dog obviously ruled this place! Aside from this, the pub was dirty and smelt damp and musty. It is not somewhere I would ever step into again.

After a hot day on the beach a welcome stop and great news Rattler on tap 😋 Friendly service, great location

My husband and I dropped in for a well deserved drink after a long walk. We received a lovely welcome from the owners. My husband had a pint of HSD and said it was the best beer of our holiday so far. I tried the berry Rattler for the first time too which was very refreshing. We soaked up the sunshine while stirring in the garden. Very chilled.

Staff very friendly had a lovely lunch beef was fantastic and my sister had chicken which she enjoyed vegetables where superb thank you

Lovely roast landlady and landlord lovely and easy to talk to. The Football was on and it was a great meal fit for a king

What else can I say... great local with a wonderful pint of Guinness, lovely landlord and lady who make you very welcome. Didn’t eat but lots of Sunday roasts being ordered, don’t think there was a vegan or veggie alternative but everyone was everyone enjoying the carnivorous option. Don’t expect any frills mind, that’s a good thing in my book

Friendly landlady with friendly Briard dog Nothing fancy to eat just a cheeseburger & a cheese & ham toastie but they were very cheap & blooming lovely Nice old fashioned pub, which we visited on the way back to Sennen having visited Pendeen & the lighthouse

I stayed here for a night and I was impressed Hosts very friendly, locals also friendly. Beer well kept. Food well cooked. Room and bathroom very clean. Can recommend. Bathroom is shared between three rooms but the very reasonable price reflects this.

Lovely quiet little pub, stinks of chip fat which really lets it down. Parking available though so that’s a bonus for those who drink drive.

The Radjel Inn is a family friendly pub that offers good quality food for very reasonable prices. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they made my family and me feel very welcome.

The reviews already on here sum it up. Nice people but it needs a really great of clean. There is years of dog hair on the stairs and the carpets all needed a good vacuuming. There is only one bathroom for all of the rooms upstairs (4) so if it was busy it could be tough. We did not eat here as the aroma of stale cooker oil was not great. The breakfast was really good. Full English with cereals and juice and good tea. Bed was comfy enough - it all just did not feel clean! Super cheap though for 2 it was 20 pounds. So not recommended but ok if there is nothing else which is where we landed!

We visited the Radjel after visiting the North inn down the road and being disappointed there. The Radjel was quiet, much like the North Inn but the staff were really great. Very friendly and personable. We ordered drinks and used the beer garden which always lovely.

Have popped into this pub a number of times over the years whilst visiting the area. Often it is for a beer - and they do have some nice ales. I've eaten there a couple of times and have to say the menu is a little limited and uninspiring. It's a good venue to catch a football match being screen live and it is a dog friendly pub.

It is a quite reasonable place to eat. Cheap and home cooked. Place is never busy! Ordinary and unpretentious

We went to this pub on the promise (via notes in our holiday cottage) of good pizzas. But the very short menu had none. Pub itself best described as 'tired' - in need of a good clean and renewal of upholstery. Smelled of stale cooking oil. Beer good, though, and food (we resorted to burger + chips and scampi + chips) was OK. But the place was very quiet. Manager seemed more interested in the TV in the lounge than the customers.

No packet ham here for the ham, egg and chips. Proper off the bone ham. Real chips too, which is becoming a rarity and a surprise 2 eggs. Well cooked and tasty. I was told steak and chips was good too. Friendly landlord and lady. If you want gastro pub food then don't go here, if you want down to earth, honest food it's the place to go.

Popped in here whilst out and about and had delicious lunchtime snacks and nice chat with the landlord and landlady who were very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. Worth a stop off.

Very ordinary pub meal, chips etc fried in stale oil. We did not enjoy the meal at all.Service was very slow.

We booked a table but need not of bothered. We were two of four customers and the only ones eating. Surprised by the food though. They do real chips and they were delicious. Maybe on a busier night the atmosphere might have been better.

Great for pizzas and Beer, and occasional Lock nns. thre si only two pubs in Pendeen so why not try them all.

I regularly pop along to the Radjel for a pint and a catch up with friends and colleagues I've always had friendly service and staff are alway chattt they also do the best homemade burger and chips I've had

B and B booked by telephone from Canada, as we were last minute walking the SW Coast Path- got lost and George came in her own van and rescued us about 8pm.- Rooms were large and clean, shared washroom also large and clean-

Los visitantes de esta semana, decidimos pendeen ir a cenar en el pub... Así que tienes que probar estas cosas, el propietario era desgraciado, desagradable y no pedir contraseña wifi ya no lo harán. El lugar necesita un bloody limpio. Basándose en comida muy sencilla. Mi mejor consejo es ir al norte INN at pendeen... Todo lo que el no es... la Radjel esposa terratenientes es el cocinero y tengo que decir que por lo menos ella habla!!!

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in cornwall. The staff are very friendly and they do a wicked madras.

The turning point on our walks from Nancherrow to Pendeen, either via the coast or Trewellard Hill, the small snug bar is a great spot for a swift reviver. I always stick with the Tribute which is excellent.

found this a very comfortable establishment very friendly staff food of a good quality and well presented

All I can say is terrible! Definitely won't be going there again. Cleanliness was awful dog barking most of the time. Bits of paint coming off the ceiling at night.

We went as the guest book at the Cottage we were renting said they do real chips. Shallow but true...... The pub was empty other than a local and a family of residents. The menu was simple but very reasonable the food was home cooked so plain, simple and nothing to complain about.

Friendly local pub with bags of history. Quiet mid week in May when we visited but a good stop off for hungry tourists on their way to Geevor Mine , Cape Cornwall or Landsend. Decent pint of beer.

Set amongst real tin mining countryside this friendly Inn offers really good ale and a wide range of good home cooked food at affordable prices.

We visited on a Sunday. The only food available was a roast which we had but was very poor. Lumps in the mash, stodgy Yorkshire pudding. All in all appeared to be a microwaved meal. Beer was good but, would not return nor recommend

The chicken curry was great, made by their chef and not too hot but with a bite. The Radjel is a typical cornish miners/country pub , with great cornish ales.

Enjoyed a pint of Rattler in this pleasant pub, while on holiday in West Cornwall. Staff and regulars very friendly. Hope to be back soon!

An unpretentious village pub with good food and good beer. The lamb was melt in the mouth, the steak was rare as ordered and a good size, the veg were fresh and the plates were hot.

Wir haben diesen pub gewählt, weil er uns besser vorkam. rein optisch ... die Bedienung bestätigte uns diese Annahme....Bier wie überall gut, am besten war das kalte Guiness....ABEr ich persönlich hatte mein Alptraum....ich hatte Lust auf Steak....sirloin medium...mit chips, yummmiiee, ich bakam mein Essen zuletzt, und das Steak sah aus wie ein Stück Lummakotlett , grau wie bierdeckel.... ich hab es mir angeschaut, ein Stück abgeschnitten, sorry, abgesägt, und es war durch und schmeckte typisch aufgetaut........die anderen assen ihre leckeren Curries.. und waren zufrieden...ich reklamierte und sollte ein neues bekommen, sollte aber 20 minuten dauern... ok, die anderen waren fertig als ich meins bekam......es sah genau so aus wie vorher, allerdings war es medium und schmeckte halbwegs....also so ein steak hab ich mein lebtag nicht gehabt....auf die Frage hin , ob der Koch Inder wäre, (die Curries waren super, und der pub name las sich so) hieß es neee sie ist von hier....und der Name war einfach cornish.....

A very quiet, quaint, 'olde worlde' family-run pub with sea views from the outside tables.In winter there is always a log fire in the small bar, which has memorabilia from the local tin mining industry hanging from the beams.The main bar has many photographs of local shipwrecks which are most interesting.The bar menu is not extensive, but what there is is very good, locally sourced wholesome food. When available, mother's home-made green tomato chutney is absolutely superb, it goes very nicely with a ploughman's lunch and is highly recommended, as are their beef burgers with chips and moules mariniere which we have had on previous visits.

Cracking pint of beer but zero welcome and zero atmosphere. Shame really because this could be a super pub. Didn't eat because we were too late so can't comment on food. Pub is tired and could do with a refurbishment!

Just came back from the Radjel I had fish chowder, disappointed taste was lovely very small portion for the price and only had halve a dozen small chunks of fish. My wife had the homemade soup excellent good value for money.

Based on the reviews I read on here, I chose this pub for a meal out with my friends. The atmosphere was ok, a bit more run down inside than it looked outside though. The staff were really welcoming and we couldn't fault the service. The barmaid was really chatty and attentive which made a real difference. Our only issue was the food. A couple of us ordered steak which should be pretty safe, but we got really fatty overcooked minute steaks and anaemic chips. The rest of the group who had different dishes were all pretty disappointed too. We're not a bunch of snobby Londoners, we were visiting from Devon and are used to decent country pub grub. Sadly we didn't get the chance to visit any other pubs in the village, so we can't recommend any others, but I'd try a different pub before you try the Radjel for food.

I have been meaning to write this review for sometime. The Radjel is a down to earth old fashioned pub, rub by a family. You are always made welcome by a lovely log fire in the winter and the locals. It is not a tourist pub and offers good home cooking. My husband I try to make at least one visit for lunch when we are in the area and have never had a negative visit. Give it a visit I say!

Unfreundlich, kalt, defekte Heizung, defekte Dusche.Es wurde nur im Notfall mit uns gesprochen und der Service war unterirdisch. Nicht zu empfehlen! Ein reiner Pubbesuch ist ok, wenn man seine Ruhe haben möchte. Essen war zu 50 Prozent ok.

Always enjoy our time at the Radjel. Careful of the Cornish cider, it is much stronger than you think!

Great pub that serves proper beer and proper food.What more could you ask for??.All the locals are very friendly and are always up for a laugh.Check out the HSD ale but dont plan anything to challenging afterwards!!!!

We have been visiting this pub for 12+ years now This is a real pub and the food is home cooked with real food. NOT the processed stuff. always freshly cooked. Always had more than enough to eat. There are kid size meals as well on requestThere is a good selection of real Cornish ale and Rattler cider The landlords Peter and George are friendly and know the area. The local people were really welcoming. it is a real pub in the heart of the community.The pub does B and B. We have stayed a couple of times over the years, with good clean rooms and a hearty breakfast in the morning.When ever we are in Cornwall this becomes my local.

Just about my favourite pub. Great beer and about the best pub food in the country. And the chips, well just try them. I know that George just loves peeling potatoes!

You can always be assured of excellent food, no frozen veg or chips, always homemade soup, not from a tin. Real food! One of my favourites is the Haddock Smokie, also homemade, it is delicious. They will also do a packed lunch, on request, if your going on a long walk, or off home. The Radjel Inn also do B&B, clean and comfortable rooms, it's the only place I stay when I visit Cornwall.The Radjel Inn is a friendly family run Pub, always inviting, everyone is made welcome by the staff and locals, be prepared to have a good time when visiting this Pub, there's always someone interesting to talk to.

We visited the Radjel at least 3 times in the week we stayed in Cornwall. All the staff were so friendly and knew the area well. The local people were really welcoming and the food was superb and very reasonably priced. We highly recommend it.

We love the Radjel. It is a down to earth, friendly, family run pub and it shows. They serve really tasty home-cooked food with the best handcut proper chips this side of the Tamar. When my Dad is asked what he wants to do when he comes to Cornwall he always says "have ham, egg and chips at the Radjel" My husband is a life member of CAMRA and he says the beer is always very well kept. He has to keep testing it to make sure (his excuse and he is sticking to it!) but he has had nothing but great beer there for 6 years. The Wednesday Quiz is a hoot, welcome to everyone, visitors and locals but be warned, the locals are good.Special mention also to a delicious and really good value Sunday roast at £7.50.If you want heritage paint colours and gastropub fancy meals and prices, stay away but if you like a traditional local pub with great value food and beer (and two dart boards and a snooker table!) then this is your kind of pub.Incidentally- a 'Radjel' is a Cornish word not in the dictionaries. The very fine pub sign by a gifted Cornish signwriter, Andrew Grundon who does many of the St Austell signs shows you what it means

We decided to try this pub for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the menu was varied and reasonably priced, my choice was a chicken curry, Naan bread and rice, but I preferred chips and the landlady was happy to accommodate my indulgence.Husband felt like fish and chips, it came with salad and homemade tartar sauce, the fish was very good, but could have been cooked a little longer as the batter had a 'soggy bottom' ! The meals were delicious apart from the 'soggy bottom' , the curry was just as I like it and the chips to our taste.I would not hesitate to recommend to eat here, the atmosphere friendly, the menu varied. It is a no nonsense pub, just what you need if you are a walker or just passing through this village to visit the Geevor Tin Mine, which is well worth a visit.
