Smugglers Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Excellent food and the service from Ruth Jay and Kia was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Had a lovely lunch celebrating Grandma's 93rd Birthday today. Thank you all.

Excellent food and service made to feel so welcome. Lovely atmosphere very friendly. Not over priced

Lovely Sunday carvery, value for money. Friendly staff at all times. See you next year.

Just had a great sunday lunch at there carvery. 3 different sizes plus childs portions available. Children and dog friendly Exellent service at a family run business great to see .

Attended tonight with friends and the Yorkshire puddings on the carvery were mouldy. When we told the waitress, she ran off to the kitchen to tell the chef, when she came back I asked if she wanted to take the plate to show the chef and she stated that they had checked the ones in in the kitchen and they were the same aka mouldy. There had been at least 10-15 served ahead of us at the carvery before us and I can only hope they didn't eat the Yorkshire puddings!

Very friendly staff. Great food. Will be back soon

Super welcoming and friendly staff, delicious carvery super good value too

Good food, good service, nicely decorated and friendly.

Been here a few times, amd it's never really impreased, however!! All seems to have changed fantastic food, even better carvery on Sundays, and wow what a meal, coupled with a great selection of local beers ciders too, excellent!

Beautiful food this is our go to for an amazing Sunday roast tasty food great prices my sons love coming here and always get the best welcome :) there’s a bouncy castle too when the weathers nice which is great

Whenever we visit Cornwall we always make sure to drop in for Sunday lunch at Smugglers Inn! We were down for two weeks recently and both Sundays enjoyed a delicious carvery with our family. The food was absolutely faultless! Meat cooked to perfection and the best roasties and stuffing! A really good selection of veggies including my ultimate favourite - swede mash! We particularly like that you can choose the size of the carvery you want and the prices are very reasonable. Not only is the food amazing but we also felt so welcomed by all of the staff! The chef is an absolute joy to talk to and gives plenty of attention to our young children. They both know her by name and enjoy a catch up when we visit. Also the younger staff that take the orders and serve drinks etc were a real pleasure to talk to making the whole experience a delight! We already can’t wait for our next visit! If you want a traditional style, friendly pub then Smugglers Inn is definitely worth a visit!

We regularly visit for Sunday Carvery, which is the best in the area. Friendly staff, excellent food and the landlady Lorraine and Lisa the Chef could not be more welcoming. It’s our go to place when family visit. We have not had a bad meal and go almost every week. Tonight we have been for a mid week meal, fantastic. We recommend to all our work colleagues. Excellent value and atmosphere. Thank you

When they get bad reviews they seem to remove them so don't be fooled I've left a bad review and it seems to keep disappearing not good at all like someone else has commented wonder why we could get a table here when every where else was fully booked

Great food and very friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble.

Great staff here, very friendly and helpful. Food was good and Lisa was amazing 👏. Lots of parking.

Family meal on Sunday. Food was excellent as was the desserts. Staff were very friendly. Definitely be back again.

Direkt an einer befahrenen Landstr. liegt das Smugglers Inn. Im Inneren ist es etwas schummerig, außer an zwei Tischen direkt beim Eingang. Wie in den meisten Pubs dominieren auch hier gegrillte und frittierte Speisen das Angebot. Aber man kann auch Alternativen finden. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war ganz okay.

First time here after passing on a numerous of occasions Tonight had our evening meal here was not disappointed food superb especially the pies so nice to be served with potatoes and veg the gravy was so good as well Whole experience was first rate

If you're in the area then a visit here is highly recommended, the pies are made onsite and are unbeaten in their excellence. The welcome you get is fantastic, a very good evening was spent here, will return again.

One off the best carvery we ever had lovely pub and amazing staff cant wait to go back thankyou all very much

Stopped in for a quick beer on my way home. Staff were friendly.

Fantastic food and the staff are wonderful. Would definitely recommend a meal here

Great food. Very friendly staff. Fabulous atmosphere for our ukulele jam

Our family got together for a carvery at this pub truly amazing Great food excellent customer service they even catered for gluten free highly recommend 👌

Lovely staff, great menu. Good range of gins, and other drinks available. Jazz on 1st and 3rd Sunday. Would definitely come back..

First class service and great food.. You'll love it. Lovely open fire place and a fantastic atmosphere...

We were made very welcome and noticed how clean this place was too. Great service thank you.

Fantastic place out of the way country pub plenty of parking reasonably priced food and drink friendly staff friendly atmosphere . The food looked really nice even though I didn't try it . Didn't get to see the refurbished rooms

We love it here, great food, great owners. Always very welcoming and attentive. Can't wait to pop back for Chinese New year.

The best way to start 2023! We arrived here after a cold winters walk along the coast. We got a lovely warm welcome and they accepted our dogs to which was a bonus. After our delicious carvarys we all felt fulfilled with food but also kindness. We wish we had room for dessert. We will come back when we visit Cornwall again!

Lovely carvery , well worth a visit

Cracking Sunday carvery, really good price. Friendly staff! Nice relaxed atmosphere!

Absolutely amazing food and service extremely friendly and the pie was the best I've ever tasted and the log fire was an added bonus , my dog even had a treat

Great old pub good food great bar

Hot tasty dinners. Loved the experience. Could improve with their desserts.

Always great food, lovely people

Great service and value. Very welcoming

Great large carpark with beer garden and kids play area to the rear of the pub with a luring olde country pub charm about the building, once inside its a very pleasant smugglars charm to the decor with a restaurant to the back. A well stocked bar of ales spirits and cocktails and very pleasant bar staff and manager. We enjoyed a good priced 2 course meal, well filling and well presented, no niff naff parafanalier I would gladly recommend this pub and we hope to call again before we leave, thankyou

We came to this pub expecting high quality service , since we had seen such good reviews on the website. However we were greatly disappointed. To begin with the car park looked run down and messy which was probably a sign to turn back right there but we decided to give the place a go. When we were seated it took almost a century for the staff to take our drinks orders and even longer for our drinks to be served. Next, the food was just plain awful. Chips were frozen and undercooked, sausage were shades of pink and purple and had the texture of rubber. Burger was lumpy and dry, looked as if it had been chewed up and spat out on our plate, it could have easily been just a little bit better if they added sauce, which they didn’t. Went through 3 packets of brown sauce just to be able to eat the thing. And dogs were barking constantly and nobody around the table wanted to be there. None of us will be coming back. Thank you.

Just had a beautiful Sunday lunch at the smugglers. Everything was extremely tasty and most importantly, real gravy. Carvery style lunch so you pick what you enjoy with 3 selections of meat. The staff are very attentive and extremely polite. Nothing to dislike, if your looking for a good Sunday lunch make this a must go to place, reasonably priced and value for money. Thank you

We popped in on way back from hayle. Staff lovely. Beers nice. Food was OK not the best. Fish was greasy and plate swimming in oil. Cheesy chips ok better they could be home made chips and not frozen. Garlic bread would be nice if you could taste the garlic and extra garlic is charged for if I wanted to have a butter warm baguette I would of order just that. Other than that was OK. We did notice none of the waiting on staff in any uniform which I did find informal. One girl had lovebites on neck which didn't look very professional.

New play equipment is brilliant! We live in Hayle so popped up to check it out on a spur of the moment decision to go out for a family meal. Our two boys 6&4, gave it a good testing and really enjoyed themselves. Think this is one of the only pubs in the area with such facilities. The food was great, served hot and in big portions. Our dog was provided with a water bowl and nothing was too much to ask. We sat outside, the waitress appeared to be relatively new, she forgot the cutlery and gravy but was flawlessly polite and apologetic and bought it all out in seconds. Really not much of a complaint. We’ve all been new at a job once! Great meal at a great local pub. Will definitely be back!

What a great pub. Bar staff were excellent, the landlady was amazing, and the locals extremely friendly. Food looked and tasted amazing. Beer and food were the best we'd had all week and probably cheapest. Weather wasn't great, not their fault, but the beer garden looked massive. Probably spend a sunny day there next time were down!

Great place for Sunday lunch 😋 and services 100 percent 👌

We all were welcomed, including our dog, by very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. Good portions of very tasty, well cooked food at a reasonable price. Will definitely recommend this pub to friends and family. Will be back. Thank you very much

Lovely family atmosphere and fabulous staff and food

Staff welcomed us was brilliant and even shapes for our 🐕

Lovely meal here tonight. Friendly and welcoming lady behind the bar. We had phoned ahead and a table was reserved for us. We chose to eat out in the garden as it was a lovely evening and we had our dog who settles best away from busy areas. We both ordered steaks, they were very well presented and beautifully hot. All the trimmings were delicious. We had just about room for pudding and thet were also presented beautifully. Lovely place to eat and kick back for a while. We shall come again!!

Food was amazing, cooked fresh and very reasonably priced and very big portions. The pub was really clean, the staff were very welcoming and polite. We will definitely return again for food and drinks.

Very friendly people lovely food

Staff were really pleasant very nice place

Food was terrible, over cooked, prepackaged tasteless. Had a steak knife that had caps over the screws missing and the screws inside were rusty, rusty cutlery is very unhygienic! Food arrived on triangular and rectangular plates that meant there was no room on the plate and food spilt over the side when you tried to cut food. Food took ages to arrive even though pub was empty. We wondered why it was easy to book a table when lots of other places were fully booked ..... now know why. table was sticky and pub generally run down and tired.

Excellent food ( and I'm super fussy) and service was great. Very friendly and helpful.

Tasty food at reasonable prices, really friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend it, we will be back.

Cracking beers and proper home cooked food. Top notch 😉

We come here as a big group while on holiday for a week. Booked in for food no problems at all and accommodated us really well. Food was very nice all 11 of us didn't have a bad meal everyone really enjoyed it. Not overpriced and very good portion sizes. After the food the pub had a band on in the beer garden and the night was just brilliant from start to finish we stayed all night. The land lady couldn't do enough for us even arranged lifts back to our campsite at the end of the night. When we come back to Cornwall we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for being brilliant hosts for the night!!!!!!!

Lovely place to go for a meal and a drink, really nice and friendly staff and a good jam night too.

Fantastic food and service what more do you need 😊

Recommended, great services and friendly attendants. Food okay otherwise it would have been a 5 starts.

Staff we’re very attentive and helpful but the menu and the food was dated and not up to Standard , this one customer who won’t be returning.

Food OK staff tried best to make us welcome but waited far too long for food only to be let down by portion size! Would not go back

We didn't book but were given a warm welcome by the staff. We sat outside and had meals for four of us. Would definitely recommend.

Great staff friendly and accommodating food well cooked, delicious

Lovely pub. Very nice food. Plenty of space inside and out.Note to landlord, could do with some lighting in the garden please

Food excellent staff brilliant highly recommend to anyone

Stayed there with my campervan.ate in the pub.food was good and a good price.the staff were helpful and let my dog come in.will call again next time im in the area

We just happened to pass this pub on the way back to our holiday accommodation and decided to eat there the following night. We have since been back twice and the meals were equally delicious and tasty both times. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and the peppercorns sauce complimented the meal. It came with peas, onion rings, tomatoes on the vine, salad and chips. Absolutely mouth watering and outstanding value. My partner had the curry and was just as impressed with his meal. I had given the steak such a good write up to him that he tried the steak on our second visit. He said he'd never tasted such flavoursome steak. I had fish and it it certainly tickled the taste buds. The portions are ample and brilliant value for money. We managed dessert too. The Bailey's cheesecake is a creamy creation that melts in your mouth and the Eton Mess topped with clotted cream was beyond words. The chef definately knows how to create a masterpiece on a plate. The barmaid was lovely, polite and always smiling. I think her name was Gina. A place that may not look much from the outside but oh what a feast awaits you inside.

Great and welcoming pub. Lovely food and certainly don't scrimp on the portion size. Free puddings with every main meal Monday-Thursday. Loads of room for Brit stops !

We stopped here for lunch a couple of weeks back on a Sunday. The pub was empty which was actually nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar did have a damp, musty smell to it but that could have been down to being closed up for a while. We sat outside for our food. My husband enjoyed his steak, cooked as he likes it. My food was delicious too but it was made from stuff I could have bought myself, or ready cut chicken and a packet of stir fry veg. It tasted delicious but I was a bit disappointed in that it was something I could have done myself. Would go back again though and try something else next time 😊

A very nice place to stop enroute. They serve lovely tea. The fall special is a Baileys hot chocolate.

Found this place half way through our holiday and ate here for 3 nights. Good home cooked food and some good offers

Really good meals,great service

A really friendly pub with good food at reasonable prices, good real ales too worth a visit if you are in the area

Top food, lovely staff and great beer garden and are also dog friendly

My partner & I had a fabulous meal here, in fact we liked it so much that the following night we booked for our family of 13. The food was excellent, well cooked and presented. They had a varied menu to cater for everyone. Kirsty and all the staff were amazing and so friendly, nothing was too much trouble.They are child & dog friendly.We had such a brilliant night that my partner brought in his guitar and we sung some songs.Some of the children & adults played on the pool table. There was a great atmosphere, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Would thoroughly recommend this place. Roz Parry

Good food, large portions Friendly atmosphere

Ordered the ‘homemade chicken Goujons’ for my son and they were bird eyes best processed chicken dippers...in no way homemade or fresh. Ordered the main burger and again the burger patties were processed and deep fried, asked for bacon to be added but was not. Toilet facilities were disgraceful considering we are in an infection prevention pandemic, no clear sign if being cleaned recently and stank of wee in the men’s and ladies. Waitress was very friendly but really disappointed with the meal and state of the toilet facilities.

Had a lovely family meal here enjoyed by all. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Really good pub food but for me staff were so polite and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely food, welcoming staff, great atmosphere

AMAZING ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FOOD AND VERY WELCOMING STAFF THANKYOU

Very friendly lovely food good lough in the pub thoroughly enjoyed our selves

Had my first Sunday lunch here today and it was by far one of the best I've had in Cornwall. It was absolutely delicious and filling and probably wont be beat on price, we also got a free pudding. Can not say a bad word about this place and the food, it's a 10 from me

What a difference a few months have made. Always loved the warm welcome here and the fab food, how things have changed under new management. No food available, surly bar staff and not made to feel at all welcome. What a shame!

Had an awesome Sunday carvary here

Fantastic place great food and we were made very welcome

Bit dated inside and reeks of damp. However the bar staff were great, helpful and polite. The beer was great, bit the newer garden was disappointing.

Amazing food with fantastic service. Mixed grill was massive and cooked to perfection. Burger was brilliant and so big the plate couldn't be finished. The ribs were lovely and succulent and so big they struggled to be finish. There was also a steak and kidney pie which my father said was the best he had ever had and a fish pie my mother said she couldn't replicate at home. Will definitely come back again when we return to the area. Also has a pool table at 50p per play so easy to keep the family entertained. BEST MEAL OF THE HOLIDAY!

Great staff great food brilliant place

Beautiful food and very pleasant staff

Good pub. Value for money meals.

A party of 10 people visited for a meal. We found staff attentive and food excellent and served hot and all 10 served together

Loved it.. very welcoming and great service.. lovely atmosphere and would definitely go again .. excellent food and I would recommend smugglers inn to anyone 10 out of 10

A classic wayfarers Inn. Great food, amazing staff and good company!

Sehr, sehr lecker. Gute Fleischqualität. Bedienung aufmerksam und nett. Hundefreundlich!!!!!

Lovely place.. Really friendly people, great place to eat the food was fantastic.

Friendly Inn but food not served all day as stated on board outside pub.

It's what a pub should be like. Excellent food and staff, will be back.

Good food and staff and we could stay over night in our motor home would recommend😉😉😉

Called in on the last evening of our holiday, we weren’t disappointed in any way at all. The portions were generous and if there was any issue it would be frozen chips not quite cooked (edible but could’ve been in for a bit longer).The only thing I will say is if you visit on a Thursday evening please don’t be concerned if you are walking in from the car park and see the shooting club in the function room at the front of the building! Definitely would recommend here as the staff and customers were very welcoming and friendly and the open fire helped too!
