Sailors Arms in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Good luck trying to call these, wow.

Fun pub (which converts into a nightclub). The music selection is very on point and the smoking/outside areas is also pretty nice. Overall a great spot for night out in Newquay. Would recommend some better aircon as the dance floor can become too hot.

A good little put which overlooks the harbour in Newquay, the food is not too bad

5 adults and 2 children (autism, ADHD with sensory issues). Having a family celebration lunch. The guy behind the Bar (7/04/2025) at approx 1.30pm was single handed yet took the time to listen and take on board the importance of getting the children's food order spot on and not as per the menu. He remained cheerful and checked with the kitchen regarding the variation in menu choices. What could of been a very challenging outing, was made thoroughly enjoyable for all of our party. Obviously big up for the kitchen staff also for making the effort to sort a complicated order.

amy was very kind, she helped me through a low blood sugar as a diabetic. she went above and beyond.

Discounts for locals. Lovely views from the beer garden. Mixr benefits.

Enjoyed my lunch and it was a friendly atmosphere

Large sports themed bar with screens throughout including in separate booths. Sat inside but there's a large terrace to the rear overlooking Newquay harbour.

Great nights out loyalty cards for locals

Nice Monday afternoon for a drink on the terrace overlooking the bay and harbour.

Huge pub and busy, particularly outside in beer garden. A couple of decent beers on tap. Just popped in for one with my wife. Seemed understaffed as waited a long time to be served, but service was quick when I got it. Not our sort of pub, but can see this being a favourite for others. Very odd decking arrangement in the beer garden where the upper section reduces the view over the beach below to other garden sitters. I'm a local resident. Who would have thought?! Just been to an over 30s 'disco' (5pm to 9pm) in the nightclub side of this pub. Big place, packed, but plenty of room for a bop, great music, reasonable prices for the drinks. Excellent staff and door staff. Couldn't fault the place. Will no doubt go to the place again if they hold a similar night.

Great pint food very good food at great price

Very good service and food if you're tall mind you're head

It was an okay pub for a drink. But for the most part staff were uninterested in talking to anyone other than their mates or work colleagues that were in on a day off having a drink. The DJ for karaoke stunk of weed and overall the place was unclean.

We have been to this pub a few times in the past and thought it was pretty average. We only go for the sport as they have multiple screens around the place. On arrival, the 'lady' behind the bar was frankly rude. Not the warm welcome people expect in Cornwall. I ordered food for two and some drinks. When I enquired if they had football on today she simply snapped 'no'! As I was asking why, she interrupted me, appearing to be frustrated, to say 'only rugby today'. I asked why no Premier League games and she said because it's rugby all day. (It was Ireland v Wales at 2:30pm and England only on later. Tables were mainly reserved from 2:30pm or 4:30pm for this reason. I suggested they could get the Man Utd game on at 12:30 and she begrudgingly agreed. I could go on about her attitude all day but she ended on a real high by switching the football off, 15 minutes before the game ended and just before Utd had scored. The rugby build up (to two non English teams) had started but the game not due for half an hour. People just got up and left. I doubt they'll return, we definitely won't!!

Great pub Great food Staff are very friendly I have to mention Sian who always goes above & beyond whenever we visit Highly recommended

While visiting Newquay a pint or two in the Sailors is a must. Large, spacious pub with plenty of seating & tables with Sky Sports news showing on numerous tv's. Friendly attentive staff serving behind the bar plus serving food. Nice pint & very reasonable priced food on menu with offers on various days. We opted for a toasted sandwich with fries to fill a gap before our evening meal. Large outdoor seating area which would be popular when weather is a little better.

Sara Best barmaid ever brilliant with everyone xx

Always get looked after , the staff are brilliant

The Sailors arms public house and restaurant is perfect for our visits to NewqJay...we live in Redruth so come to Newquay for the beautiful beaches and long walks... Food is really great value and priced to cater for all needs... We loved it...also they let our Jack Russell terrier join us.. Staff friendly and made us welcome

Sara on the bar in the club was amazing! So lovely and welcoming and just genuinely feel safe with staff like this in the club !

Was New Year's Eve. Very happy folks in there and meet up with friends

Amazing Wade, Ryan, Liv, Matt, Bailey, Dan and other Dan.

Liv is amazing always serves me with a smile, Bailey is always so kind and makes the best drinks, Wade always brings a great atmosphere behind the bar, Ryan always makes the best food and Dan B always keep the place in ship shape ❤️

Loved our food! Wade was so much fun with our drinks too, will absolutely be back for more cocktails, I had the all day breakfast and my friend had the chilli

Awesome meet up with family, great deals and Sara was a legend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1st time here in January it's so much better.😂🤣 looking forward to a week of peace and tranquility.

Still a great venue, loved my visit, the team were really friendly and they were busy but were all still smiling. Great to see the regular team there still and to have a laugh. Had a nose at the menu but didn’t eat this time. I’ll be back again to try something new, thank you

🌟 A Fantastic New Year’s Eve at Sailor’s Arms! 🌟 I hadn't been to Sailor’s Arms in years, but ringing in the New Year here was the perfect way to rediscover this gem. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was electric—great music, lively atmosphere, and a crowd that was just out to have a good time. The staff were brilliant too, keeping everything running smoothly despite how busy it was. I had so much fun catching up with friends and soaking up the energy of the place. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for waiting so long to come back. One thing’s for sure: I won’t let that happen again. See you soon, Sailor’s Arms! 🎉🍻

The perfect club for an unforgettable night out! Great atmosphere, fantastic music, and a vibrant crowd make it the ideal spot to let loose and have fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a lively evening.

I was at Sailors Arms for New Years, great atmosphere had fun... until the glass collector took my almost full glass of Corona. I asked the bar for a replacement and they refused. The drink cost me around £5 but would have cost them almost nothing to replace but they treated me, a 61yo man, like a liar. In this place you are a punter nothing more. I gave them a well deserved pair of fingers and the very professional and courteous security chaps invited me to leave. I guess the staff were following company policy in refusing me a replacement drink. It's just a cynical money grabbing business.

Great pub with a great selection of beers. If local ensure you have a locals card.

Got my order mixed up. Then asked if I’d like another plate to make up for it so I said yes but it never got brought out. My girlfriend asked for extra gravy they said they’ll ask but never got back to us. Never put my mates order through so we waited unnecessarily long before he had to go up and ask where his food was. Waiters were sound so it seemed like something on the kitchens end maybe they should change the layout of the way food gets put through

Terrible cold late food . The bacon looked like it was cooked with a hair dryer ! .. cold chips cold peas . My partner had nachos that clearly had some kind of cold squeezy cheese all over it ? That was also put on my chicken with barely any of the cranberry sauce!.... avoid ..

Lovely pub great views everyone is so friendly and helpful full. We be going back

Nice pub , cheap Rattler! Lots of seats inside too and friendly staff

We had our xmas meal here...8 of us ..the table was brilliant for our arrival Christmas hats 🎅 which was a lovely surprise... excellent welcome from staff...food menu was really good and we all enjoyed our food and drinks ...we had a brilliant time and the atmosphere and welcome was great!!! We love visiting the sailors and would definitely recommend!!! Thank you so much for a brilliant day the staff went above and beyond 🎄❤️

nicest staff especially sara lovely woman always making me feel welcome,lovely place

Haven't been in for years, popped in on the cowboy night for a couple drinks. Was good laugh, cheap drinks and all.. Will most definitely be coming back. Top job

Location amazing especially if you can get a table on their deck. Staff lovely. Food average.

I've been here for quiz nights, had pizza and late night drinks! Not tried the club yet, maybe new year Recently refurbished and looking great!! Staff are always helpful and friendly, food didn't take long to arrive Good sized pizzas easily shared between 2, very tasty The club is open til the early hours and right opposite the taxi tank so easy to get home!

We have absolutely no complaints about our Sunday roast, quality, or portion size. But the service at the bar was rather bizarre, as if everyone was on the first night of employment! Initially we couldn't sit anywhere but at THAT table but there were lots available, we sat at one away from the crowd, asked different member of staff who 'had to ask a manager'. Then we had to request cracking to go with 'pork with crackling', as it arrived without, then staff member struggled to find desert we wanted on the till even though it was advertised....it wasn't even busy so not like staff rushed. Food was lovely, just service a bit chaotic.

Great pub and fantastic staff - especially Sian who was super attentive and so polite and helpful - thank you

Well it hasn't changed in almost 30 years, not sure if that is good or bad 🤷🏼‍♂️ service was difficult even in October so expect summer to be difficult 🤙

Good place to eat in the sun . Don't set outside when it is raining. With all the money they make, they should replace the canopys Parki g to exsoensive.

Pardon My language but bloody brilliant 👏 👌

Unfortunately very dingy. Wouldn't have liked to eat anything. But we wanted to watch football and that went brilliantly. Beer was also good. O.

Ordered chicken tika masala very disappointed nan bread was tiny size of a tea cake bowl of chips as a extra was tiny £31 FEEL LIKE WE BEEN DONE will not eat here again

Top quality food & great music.

I’ve had many unhappy experiences at this establishment, but the latest is by far the most infuriating. Good luck trying to contact sailors in regard to stolen and lost property, or any other unhappy experience, for they simply leave you on read on social media and hang up when you get past the god awful automatic line. Every time I attempt to make contact, I never receive a call back or response. The staff are hostile, unapproachable and unprofessional. The security if you could call them that bar you if you defend yourself against a genuine threat. It’s disgraceful. Myself, family and friends can say the same. Absolutely shocking.

Saturday night DJ was great :) good tunes and nice guy

I have popped in twice now for lunch and had the baked potato loaded with BBQ Chicken and cheese with a glass of orange and it is So delicious I am definitely going to make it the place to go every week to have my me time Thanks 😊

Nice atmosphere good music friendly staff if your in Newquay this is a good night out

After having a lovely meal in Newquay and visiting a few bars, we visited Sailors and requested a few pop tunes from the DJ that was so far up his own arse he wouldn’t acoomidate any request including hen party’s and stag parties in the venue. Wake up Sailors, he may be great in peak season but this is the guy you need to make a few thousands in low season. From a proper club manager !

Nice views, but the place looked a bit scruffy.

Great fun staff. Nice clean toilets. I hadn't been to Sailors for years but then a friend who I'd not seen for years, was coming for a visit. Living in a fishing town usually has two options for fun. The Sea and The Pub. (So, we went out of town. Night swimming is not really my thing) Sailors were hosting Bingo Lingo. If you've never heard of it snap, neither had I. I'm not a bingo player.(I Have only been twice in my life. ) This was fun. Chaotic good clean fun. I definitely recommend it when it next comes to town. The tunes were cheesy. The jokes and dancing were cheesy. It was perfect. If you like neon, dressing up and 90s/2000s music. if you want to make instant friends, if you love games and dancing on the benches from the start, you might just like this. Don't be put off by the scores of ladies in the queue. Plenty of guys go too. This is not just a review waxing lyrical about an event. This review is also for Sailors staff. Both the door staff and bar staff. They were all absolutely spot on. Even in the queue to get in the door staff were on hand for help and even had to sort out a little incident involving a young emotional lady with too much drink on board and they handled it in a very kind and tactful manner . She never got in that night and quite right the poor girl fell down straight after being told.

Love it at Sailors, hubby particularly happy with the John Smiths smooth as they have a really well kept cellar@

Was told not to expect much from the food. But I thought it was pretty decent actually. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Friendly staff Good food Large venue

Sara was really nice, had banter with me and gave me 2 of the best jager bombs ever🤘

My dog is chilling whilst we eat.😁

Good food. Not well priced. Good views and Sky Sports on all ovet

Very rude staff and mispriced drinks. Much better bars in Newquay!

Food was a let down. Really excited by the menu however main and dessert looked so much better than it tasted. Such a shame after spending all the money

Food was amazing. Service fantastic. Prices very reasonable and the staff were so friendly. Will be back there soon

Overpriced drinks for an average pub. Just paid £7.10 for a pint of lager. The same lager I paid £5.50 for with a sea view. Not sure why this pub feels they can charge so much more when it is nothing more than a very average pub

Lovely place to have some food and lovely views out back. Served by sian who was so lovely and helpful. Place was nice and clean and lovely atmosphere in there.

This place was decent, we came here after walkabout didn't have food on and so glad we did, got a meal and a pint for roughly £16 each which was good, chicken burger was amazing!! What made this better was we sat out on the top balcony overlooking the beach and sea, very chilled and a lovely place!

What a lovely pub? I'm usually a bit dubious about going out to pubs for a meal, as Hygiene and food preparation is important to me. We came to this pub today and the staff were brilliant and friendly, especially Reilly. He made us smile and feel welcome. The pub is fairly clean, the toilets may need some air fresheners but the main place itself is kept clean and tidy. The food today was delicious. I just had a bowl of Chips and beans, then a chocolate brownie for dessert. (I'm still a little iffy about meat in public places) So what I had definitely filled a gap. Thank you Reilly and the team! If we ever come back for another holiday here, we'll definitely consider this again. Keep up the good work guys. 😀

We stopped in here at the end of our day, last night of our holiday and it was fantastic. Reilly was great. Thank you for the enjoyable meals and atmosphere

Love the bar staff, so helpful and kind, always here because they make the so lovely especially Caz, Isaac, and Dan

Great pub with an awesome view, Caz was great, beer is good too with a good selection, would really recommend …………………..…

Sadly we didn't eat there But was a beautiful place and a view to die for

The food I ordered here wasn’t good at all. I ordered a jacket potato advertised on the menu as ‘pulled bbq chicken with bacon bits, spring onion and cheese’ which sounded great. When it arrived it was about 4-5 small squares of chicken drencheddddd and I mean drenched in bbq sauce (so not bbq pulled chicken) and no bacon bits:/ I don’t mind bbq sauce but I felt like I’d eaten 5 tablespoons of it and it was the only thing I could taste as well as not matching the description of the menu unfortunately. My boyfriend looked like he had a good full English and the coffee, service and atmosphere was good just a shame about my food. I would’ve shown it to the staff but it got eaten by the seagulls :0

Waited over 40mins for 3 coffees. Customer service terrible. Gave up in the end and got a refund. Never again.

If I’m honest I wouldn’t even give them a star! Absolutely appalling attitude from both manager and security alike! Come down on holiday to the area and decided to check out the local life .. on the other hand I really just wish we had stayed in the caravan! The evening started off lovely and was really enjoying MYSELF! And I highlight this because I was doing just that, keeping myself to myself. After about 2 hours of being at the venue, there was an incident where I had slipped on something that someone else in the venue had been throwing all over the floor. ( because of this I have a very severely bruised hip) which I had tried to report to a manager.. I then got taken outside the venue where I then got interrogated by both security and the manager about the whole incident! I then got thrown out of the venue for speaking up! I do believe this was to protect ‘locals’ when I had done nothing wrong! Disgusting behaviour!

Fantastic place to eat. Don't miss it

Lovely place for a drink, busy which meant long queues at bar and only 2 staff.

We came for a late tea having just arrived after a 6 hour journey. Unfortunately both Lasagne dishes that were ordered were not just undercooked but frozen in the middle. The peas on the gammon were stone cold and the curry’s were both cold. Management did acknowledge the error and refund the money including a complimentary round of drinks however with a tired and hungry family this was completely ridiculous to have such undercooked food on all dishes. Would not recommend based on our experiences.

Great venue, the pub and club were busy. Great for a night out with friends.

Abysmal service…. Close to two hours to get starters and mains for 2 adults and 2 children… manager was rude didn’t see a issue with it….

Wonderful view overlooking the sea

Visited on Friday for evening dinner, we received a warm welcome from the staff, the pub is nicely decorated and the views from the rear terrace is beautiful. we ordered food which arrived in good time. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our meal. The steak came out slightly undercooked for our liking and we asked if it could be cooked a little longer. The staff were excellent with our request and sorted this out with a smile and followed up to check everything was ok. Because we received such good service we decided to stay for puddings. Which were also very nice and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend eating here.

The only place to go in newquay. Always a good atmosphere.

Great for watching England game but food didn't half of what we wanted

Great pub, love it. Visited a number of times.

This was a nice place to get food, the food itself was made exactly as requested and tasted quite nice I personally had a chicken burger, chips and coke it was delicious. The staff themselves were polite and overall kind they are also quick in serving customers. Finally for the atmosphere it is an excellent place to relax as you eat your food with nice music playing in the background and multiple tv's to watch the latest game or whatever on in this case cricket, along with this the decor was quite fine providing a nice view. Reply: no problem I enjoyed eating at your restaurant ☺️ however I'm going back home soon so I unfortunately won't be able to enjoy your food again 😢.

Lovely view to Newquay beach. Had a coffee on the veranda. Reasonable prices to eat.

Lovely food lovely staff 10 out of 10 so dog friendly very nice touch giving dog treats very welcome

Amazing good food lovely staff very chill and nice atmosphere

Me and my friend ordered the same meal, I asked the bar tender if a drink was included, he said no and proceeded to charge me £15 only to then charge my friend £9.50 with a drink included for the same meal, not impressed.

Brill staff go the extra mile kind helpful always dressed well desrve a bonus for the way they work

You're only allowed to eat if you're an 'adult adult', even if you are above the age of 18.

Great bar, especially on a Sunday with music bingo on its a must go to, drinks, food and atmosphere is amazing 👏

I recently went for a hen night to do the bingo loco. It was a fantastic evening. There was a great atmosphere, pumping music and drinks were served quickly. Everyone had a brilliant night and the hen loved it

Staff were very helpful and friendly and helped us organise a table to watch the football through the app,bar staff were very friendly and helpful as well,food was good and had a really enjoyable time 😊

Sticky toffee pudding and ice cream/custard, sooo nice, sweet, sticky, soft, really tasty xx stunning views outside x

Watched the Euros Football The security fetched seats for us 100% impressed. That never happens. Also saw them helping others. We didn’t eat

Sara was ace, lovely bartender made the club feel safe

(Update, my mrs has been ill since with food poisoning from this place) Awful experience, after having great food all holiday in cornwall, we then made a massive mistake today in choosing here to eat. The place is visually nice and looks like a nice place for a few drinks. But the food we was served was the opposite and not what i expected. First we had to choose something else on the menu when ordering as we was told that the steak was still in freezer and was told they could defrost for me if i didnt mind a long wait! I went for a burger and chips instead and ordered food for my partner and children also. The food tasted and looked undercooked and had a microwaved look and taste to it. Chips still hard and almost still frozen! We walked out and left the deserts we paid for as we didnt want our children to suffer any more to be honest! Absoutely poor example for food establishment in such a beautiful place. What a waste of money and our poor luck choosing this place out of numerous great restraunts near by.
