St Michaels Mount Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

First time since reopening alovely lunch And really pleasant helpful staff highly recommend carvery was lovely had a great lunch time visit

Lovely to see the Pub back open . I can thoroughly recommend the food. Sunday Roast.. pink beef, cauliflower cheese and red cabbage , my favourite. Also had lovely lunch last week .

Had a lovely meal was better then expected I heard they had recently reopened the staff are great I can highly recommend the pork belly and brisket it was fab worth a visit

Amazing carvery, we wiil definitely be going again .

Arranged to meet local friends here. Looked unloved from the outside so wasn't expecting much. Wasn't wrong. So cold we had to keep our coats on, no locals in there at all, which is never a good sign. Staff downright grumpy. Beer tasted strange and not fresh. Didn't bother eating in the end, as just didn't look appetising. Such a shame, could be a lovely village pub.

First visit to this village pub, it will not be my last. Nice welcome from the staff who managed to fit us in for food on a busy Friday night. Good choice on the menu, our food was pretty good too. Would have been 5 stars if there had been a better choice of ales.

No toilet roll in either toilets, one of which was out of order and the other does not flush. Disgusting & filthy, clueless staff would not recommend

13 went for Christmas lunch. Being Christmas day, it was obviously expensive but I have no complaints about the food or service. The visible staff were all young and working on Christmas Day. They were polite and efficient. I would have no problem recommending this pub. They had a slight issue in that our table missed out on the pigs in blankets due to a dropped tray but that can happen to anybody and the staff were genuinely apologetic and appeared embarrassed. It could happen to any of us! Well done and thank you team - you made our Christmas Day

We visited a family of 4 and 3 dogs on New Year’s Eve. Food was good and staff were great. We were staying locally (penponds) so was lovely to have a great pub in walking distance. The live band was an added bonus. Would definitely come again if we’re in the area 😍

Brilliant friendly staff. Superb food and drink. Very reasonably priced. You cannot get a bad meal here.

We were staying locally and were lucky enough to walk to this wonderful restaurant. The four of us chose different starters all of which arrived quickly and were very generous in quantity. Staff were polite and friendly and our main courses were again very high quality indeed. This pub is described locally as a gastro restaurant and having experienced excellent tasty food at very decent prices, we fully recommend a visit!

Had a really beautiful dinner and drinks at the St Michael's Mount Inn whilst on a weekend getaway to Cornwall. Really great service and excellent food. =)

Lovely pub, very helpful staff. Limited wine choice but that is not a criticism, we had a really good malbec and individual glasses of sauv. Menu has lots of great choices, some pub classics and others like hake a bit different. Beware! They serve generous portions for starters and the sides really are for sharing. Main courses were good, only criticism was that the sauces on the chicken and hake were far too sweet and overpowered the other flavours. Finally, it was very good value, especially for this area of Cornwall. Well worth a visit.

Lovely food, great menu, caters well for allergys

Fantastic staff serving excellent food, best burger I have ever had. Well worth a visit.

Just got back from this pub, off the beaten track, Great choice of food, very friendly and welcoming staff, and absolutely delicious meals for the 3 of us, of a poached and roasted chicken course and the Tempura cod and chips, beautifully presented and really tasty, I would have taken a photo if I hadn’t dived straight in! Will definitely be back and a new favourite for our Cornish holiday. Thank you.

A lovely, relaxing venue that serves absolutely sublime food. Incredible.

Just had an amazing meal of Steamed and roasted chicken. The best chicken I have had in a long time. Great food and great service

Great meal and fantastic service 👏

Great food, nice relaxed pub, very pleasant staff

Really good food the pub is like TARDIS inside it's huge lovely family run country pub well worth a visit.good selection of beers

Not very good. No wine list (due to supply issues). No mussels on the menu, no cocktails, very small menu and rather overpriced. We came to this pub due to staying at an Airbnb round the corner. We had a meat board for a starter with olives. Olives & meat I am rather certain they came from Aldi which I would prefer not to have when spending money on a meal out. My steak arrived medium and not medium rare. The male waiter was rather inexperienced and lacked people skills. The girl behind the bar was nice but was dealt with a rubbish ran pub. I would not recommend, huge improvements needed.

Very good lovely place and frenley

As always, amazing freshly cooked food, remembered to take a photo before demolishing this time! Cannot rate highly enough, this customer (incl dog) friendly pub.

We met up with Family at the charming St Michaels Mount Inn, Barriper. It’s a family run pub with a relaxed atmosphere. Off the beaten track a little, it’s nice to support a local pub which works hard to serve the community. We were well looked after by Poppy and the food was great! Nachos as a shared starter, mains and pudding. No complaints, The building is traditional and made from Cornish Stone, so if you feel the cold you may want to take a layer. That said we were all ok. Look forward to our next visit in the future.

Just wanted to thank the management for a lovely dinner, that we enjoyed enormously with the members of our family that we hadn't been able to meet up with for so long. The staff couldn't do enough for us, we had a couple of people in our company on special diets, the chef was happy to listen to their requests and provided lovely alternatives for them both. Thank you so much for that, it was much appreciated! I'm not a drinker, but I'm assured that the cocktail lovers enjoyed everything they tried! Our lovely starters and main courses were finished off with a lovely choice of homemade desserts. The chocolate brownie was exceptionally delicious. We'll be making a return visit in August and are looking forward to it.

The food here is lovely and the service very nice.

This little gem of a place we found whilst holidaying in Barripper, the decoration is typical of a village pub, but the food is absolutely top notch. We have eaten at top restaurant’s and found the food is often over rated, definitely not the case here. We had the sunday lunch of Roast pork and Roast beef, cooked to pure perfection, meat tender, stunning home cooked roasties that crunched when you bit into them, and the Yorkshire puddings were a perfect combination of big and beautiful. We also had The brownie and the sticky toffee pudding, once again absolutely delicious. We gave it 10/10. Whoever the chef is deserves a standing ovation, you have set a very high bench mark for us to judge any food we eat on our next holiday in Cornwall. Thankyou so much.

Very welcoming the food was delicious

Wouldn’t recommend this pub, was very cold had to sit with coats on, food was average and dessert was sent back was not how it was presented on menu. Not impressed with the staff, inexperienced and not pleasant.

Quaint place with wonderful staff and a very lovely owner 😊😊

We had read good reviews on here so we were looking forward to trying it . The tomato soup tasted of vinegar and was not edible . The pork belly was cold , the bubble and squeak tasted of vinegar the bread was dry and the chips tasted as if they had been reheated ..the pub was cold we had to wear our coats . Can not recommend

Very young staff trying their best but meal was not good. Only 4 dinners, one brought out wayyy after others and on all of them the meat was almost raw. Vegetarian options appears to be all the veg from meal mashed into a patty shape, quite unpleasant. Also place didn't seem very clean. After hearing mostly good reviews about the food, we were all sadly disappointed. Can't recommend and won't return.

Young girl behind bar was terrible, food and drink terrible. All in all awful experience, won’t be going back and will not recommend.

he is so racist and deserves to die as he is so racist and bad and probaly plays fortnite and stuff like that among us also. such bad employee bad at washing dishes plate dirty and stuff please fire him please

Lovely atmosphere lovely food! Was told about this pub before and never had the chance to go so when I got invited to a birthday meal was really looking forward to it! I wasn't disappointed! I had the risotto it was delicious and my friends had the burger and chips and it looked incredible! The locals were lovely too! Will recommend this place to everyone!

Nice quiet pub, lovely cooked to order food. Very tasty and good sized portions. Experienced waitress was very pleasant and very helpful.

A proper local village pub, a genuine centre of village life with a great atmosphere, made to feel welcome from the minute you step through the door. Great food and a really good selection of drinks. Highly recommend it.

Nice little place, great food, huge portions

Staying for a night locally, I booked this pub for a midweek evening meal after seeing the reviews on TA. We were not disappointed. We were greeted by a very friendly barman and shown to our table. After perusing the menu, we ordered for starters Tempura Prawns for my wife and Mixed Local Meats for me. Mains were Beef Bourguignon for my wife and Sole rolled in a Salmon Mousse both with a selection of fresh local vegetables. For dessert I had Sticky Toffee Pudding and my wife a Liqueur Coffee. All the food was of the highest quality and the portions very large. Service was excellent and just at the right pace. This was the best meal I’ve had in a Pub Restaurant for a very long time. They serve a good pint of ale too.

Fab food, and a welcoming friendly service.

This restaurant was recommended by my cousin, what a wonderful pub/restaurant. Great menu at reasonable prices.

Levely family run pub! Food was delicious!

Fantastic food and service have booked it gi back already.

Walked in off the street and greated by a gentleman whom we didn't learn his name. Asked if they could accommodate us and indeed they did. I loved it here. It felt homely. We felt at home. The people working there were friendly and very sweet natured. The food was delicious, had roast beef and chicken. Followed by a huge portion of sticky toffee pudding and brownie. What more could we want. Very relaxed atmosphere although you could see the people were working very hard and were so attentive. Homely and friendly ..... Thank you for a lovely meal. We really appreciate it. Xx

This was the worst birthday present for my sister! Because we booked a table for 10 people it was to much work for the chef. The meals all came at different times, some 20 minutes later than others, some hot but after the wait for vegetables my dinner had to go in the microwave and I ended up eating alone as everyone else had finished. When we complained we were told not to come back if we didn't like it. Our bill was over £300

We found by chance, wow what a treat we had, my wife had a pork Sunday lunch of such high quality it was amazing, we could not fault anything, I had the pan fried hake in a vanilla sauce, a great combination, a real treat to find somewhere that has such a caring team as this, warm, friendly, terrace place, a credit to everyone

Lovely welcome at this impressive pub. Carefully chosen menu and helpful staff. My wife is gluten free and upon asking for gf menu, the owner promptly told us that most items on the main menu could be tweaked for gf diets. Very helpful. The food? Delicious and sensible portion sizes - not too big. Amazing value for money too. We will be coming back.

Another fantastic meal. A party of 18 and we were well attended and the food was amazing. The staff are a great asset to the business.

What a Wonderful Pub!!! The staff were super welcoming and the drinks were great. Didn't eat but the menu looked mouthwatering! Would definitely be back if we're ever in the area

We were staying in the same village as St Michaels Mount Inn at a holiday rental. The owner recommend the Inn as a place to eat. We visited most night and had a family meal for 10 on the quiz night. The food was absolutely amazing and restaurant quality. All ingredients and dishes made fresh unlike most pubs! The staff were super friendly everyday we visited. We also ate a second evening and the same fantastic standards met. I would highly recommend eating here. The staff are brilliant and friendly and gave us loads of advice on Cornwall. Nothing was too much trouble and the Thursday night quiz was very entertaining and we were made to feel very welcome by all the locals and had a great night. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Cornwall.

First visit, food excellent, lovely friendly staff, we will return. Thank you for a perfect evening

Went to this pub in Barripper last evening,for a meal with friends. The food was fabulous. Quite a select menu,not your average 'pub grub',but was delicious. We live locally :) and will definitely be going again,pronto!

Good food. ..be prepared for a large bill...

This is a pleasant pub with a really nice atmosphere. It has a lovely little beer garden out the back, away from the roadside. We live locally and often pop here for an evening drink in the beer garden. We booked two family meals here recently. The Inn have several veggie/vegan options for both starters and mains and accommodated some of my dietary needs for pudding too.The food was very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly, we were really very impressed. They were lovely with the children and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening.This is an absolute gem of a place and I highly recommended it.

Lovely friendly bar staff. Great food. We will be back again

Just stopped for a quick drink and bite to eat out on Motorbike 🏍 Its a Monday they don't usually do food however they accommodated with a snack menu which was perfect and so were the drinks. 2 young staff and landlord made us welcome, will definitely be back.

We visited on Sunday for a roast and certainly weren’t disappointed. Beautifully decorated, light and airy pub with staff who make you feel welcome and no request is too much to ask. We sat next to a table with a dog and the owner brought out a bowl of roast meat for him. We were also charged less for our roast with no meat, which was incredibly kind. When we’re back in Cornwall we will definitely visit again! Thank you for making our Sunday

This place is like your typical local pub but better. Really great food served on warmed plates, not too expensive and locally sourced. The staff are friendly and funny. Really lovely interior and design. Glad it's just down the road!

Great afternoon/evening I would recomend food

Fab freshly cooked food, excellent service, safe covid measures, dog friendly, top notch :)

Perfect pub grub! We visited twice during our stay in Cornwall. We would really recommend the Sunday roast menu, the beef was amazing! They are also dog friendly and made a real fuss of our dog, who also had a bit of roast made up for him. Absolutely brilliant.

We had struggled to get in anywhere for a Sunday roast so tried this restaurant as a back up and we were blown away. It was quiet, great atmosphere, very clean, friendly attentive staff, affordable and the food was absolutely delicious. My only criticism is that I wish there was mash on the Sunday roast too. The beef was really good quality and so tender!

So, firstly the pub genuinely feels nice and cosy, looks welcoming from the outside and the beer garden is well kept, the decor isn't too shabby and the prices was alright, nothing too crazy. However, my complete visit was ruined by the single staff member who from the outset seems determined to not be welcoming. Her complete demeanour was frankly rude, now I'm not asking to roll the red carpet out, however being militant in every action you carry out, even when you're being polite in return frankly made us leave after one single drink. Maybe she was having a bad day but simple things like saying please and thank you, or even Hello within the hospitality trade go a long way. It could be a thing against not being deemed a local but having lived in Cornwall my complete life and even thought I live within walking distance of it, it sadly isn't an experience I will be repeating.

Great village pub, lovely food and friendly staff.

Good meal and service very. welcomimg.

I have 2 very fussy autistic teenagers and I couldn’t praise the staff enough for their help with the menu and more than a few adaptations! So Sorry.. The food was beautiful Im sorry I didn’t take pictures I must remember for our next holiday. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and in a safe environment. Dog friendly and they sell doggy ice cream :) would highly recommend, we have been before and would definitely go again. Thank you to all the staff...

Had a lovely meal whilst on holiday in Cornwall. We were two families with small children and found the service swift and friendly and the food was exceptional.

This beautiful village pub is so friendly and welcoming for the whole family. (Babies and dogs included) The food is spectacular and the menu offers something for everyone! Vegetarians, vegans and meat lovers! All locally sourced and lovingly prepared. Look out for themed days as there Italian and Pan Asian days are phenomenal! They are very popular so booking is essential if you want to guarantee a table. Saying that, it is worth a drop in, especially at quieter times.Allow time for parking in the surrounding streets as parking is limited. Better still park out of the village and enjoy a lovely walk to get there.There is a beautiful little garden with great cottage style planting where you can relax in the sun. The outside bar is a great feature and the kids can enjoy an ice cream from the outside ice cream stall. This is a genuine family run pub with the kindest family at the heart! They have kept the community together during the hardest of times and always go above and beyond. A small village pub with a big Heart!

Lovely beer garden. Landlord was a character, very funny and friendly 😆

Great family run pub. Love eating here with our family. Excellent service and amazing food and drinks. Highly recommended !

Great menu, generous portions and good choice for children.Food amazing and accommodated my dietary needs( celiac and dairy free). Staff really friendly. Lovely atmosphere, cosy setting. Highly recommended. Will definitely visit again.

very friendly staff and excellent service.

Wow, on my doorstep, monk tempura sweet chille sauce n chips, meat platter and great friendly service. Nuf said!

Top chef, good food, good beer. What's not to like...

Really top nosh the staff friendly.landlord took time to tell all about his ingredients and how much freshness meant to him and his menu. Worth a visit.

Went there for a meal with family after getting married. Staff were wonderful and food was great. Definitely would recommend and would certainly go back for another visit.

This local pub has recently re-opened in line with Covid guidelines. My wife and I were delighted to visit it again for Sunday lunch, which was served in the pretty and spacious beer-garden. The food was excellent and, for the discerning, there is a decent wine menu to accompany your meal. The service was first-rate, despite a busy sitting, yet we never felt either rushed or delayed. It is very popular, especially at weekends, so booking is essential, but you will not be disappointed.

Friendly pub with a great atmosphere

The quality of food and drinks is excellent

They say a pub can be the heart of the village, well this place is special as it has it ALL! It ooozes love throughout the village and behond! Not only does it have the best selection of gins for miles around, you will struggle to make a choice from the menu, everything makes your mouth water. I can confirm this because I have pretty much had everything on the menu!Everyone is made to feel welcome by the staff and the locals.The garden is a great addition with plenty of seating front and back. The perfect place for friends, family or just for 2.

Many public houses claim to be 'the village pub', then fail to live up to expectations! Not so, with this little gem hidden away in Barripper Village. St Michaels Mount Inn, is the genuine village pub and it's a knockout! It really is the beating heart of the village that surrounds it. The stories of the Inn's support of the village, particularly during the pandemic, are heart warming.But, now to the important stuff...The minute you step through the door ( or garden entrance, as we ease out of lockdown), the welcome is warm, and you feel as if you are amongst friends. There is a wide variety available on the menu and it caters from the normal dietary requirements, through to vegetarian and vegan. And if you are a bit of a fussy eater...no problem. They are happy to accommodate your requests where possible and the food tastes amazing (and it's locally sourced, as far as possible, which is a huge plus)!There is a wide selection of wines and spirits, but if you love gin....my oh my....what a selection. I have never seen so many different types in one pub!This is the sort of village pub that everyone wishes they had near their home. It has everything . It's family run, welcoming and a delight to visit. Highly recommended!

This is an incredible, independent family run pub. Their food is exquisite, the menu is regularly refreshed and nothing is too much trouble. A great selection of drinks with a gin menu to die for! They’re the heart of the village community - always a friendly face to greet you and a genuine interest in getting to know you. We moved to the area 4 years ago and got to know most of our neighbours through the pub! It’s one of the main reasons we love where we live. The family looked after everybody throughout lockdown with free home-cooked meals at their own expense. This is a warm, friendly, genuine place to be, you won’t be disappointed.

Paid a visit to this great, traditional style, proper village pub and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious,great value for money and the hospitality shown by all the staff was first class. Can't wait to visit again in the near future as great pubs like St Michaels Mount in Barripper are unfortunately a dying breed.

We were just passing and noticed this very smart welcoming pub. After months of craving a proper pump pint, we decided to stop. We sat outside, sheltered from the wind by a gazebo - great touch! the staff were very friendly, helpful & ensured we followed the correct covid measures, track and trace etc. We only stopped for a pint but as the food looked and smelt amazing, we decided to eat. We had a hand made beef burger and a veggie burger, both delicious and freshly cooked. We will certainly be back now we have found this little gem.

I cannot emphasise how good this pub is... A proper authentic, family run pub, oozing with fine beers and even finer food! The Monteray IPA has me detouring well out of my way on a weekly occurance. I've lived in West Cornwall for 8 years and I wish I stumbled across this pub sooner. A proper heart of the village pub serving better food than most 5 star restaurants... What more could you ask for?

Great meal on a Saturday night. Lovely pub. Bonus was the Camborne youth band playing carols. Our waiter joined them on his euphonium. Both young members of staff were great.

Excellent meal great service got covid covered

Staying locally for a few days and we couldn't stay away! Roast dinners, Beef Bourbignon, steak, mussels, massam curry and kids spaghetti & meatballs. Gluten free was not a problem for the chef and even a few GF beers. All staff are very welcoming and make you feel confident in the covid secure setting. The kids loved their meals and puddings and that is unusual. Look forward to returning again very soon.

Warm friendly staff, fantastic food and wondrous atmosphere!

Great food great service Will visit again

Excellent service, delicious food, great Covid workarounds. Highly recommended!!!

We were down on holiday and visited this pub with friends who live locally and highly recommended it, we were not disappointed. The vegan burgers were gorgeous and generous portions too, staff were very friendly.

Would recommend the pizza and the vegan burger, our party said it was the best they’d had. The pub was great, very friendly service and fantastic food. Good covid measures in place, we felt very safe and looked after.

Visited the Pub again this week for a meal and the Tuesday night quiz. Food was once again fabulous. Quiz was great too, a real laugh!!The landlord and his family have got it sorted with Covid. The negative review below is not worth reading.Keep up the great work!!

The St Michaels gets it right, friendly, superb food and great atmosphere. We've enjoyed the Tuesday quiz night and look forward to the Roast and wine tasting nights returning when is safe to do so. This is the safest venue I've been in during covid with sanitiser and disposable plates/cutlery plus spaced out tables. The food never disappoints and luckily there's still more to try on their interesting menu. Do not miss the cakes either but get in before they sell out. Thank you and keep up the great work. See you soon.

Wonderful, family run pub with your safety at its heart!We have been to this pub twice in a single week on holiday in Cornwall. To say they treat you wonderfully is an understatement.Every aspect of the pub has been well considered and no matter what you choose to eat, it is delicious.I have been to a number of places since Covid restrictions have been put in place and this one has got it absolutely right.Polite, courteous and friendly family run business, what more could anyone ask for.Thank you for making our holiday that extra bit special.

Have to say the welcome is warm and the food is delicious. I have concerns being out generally as I'm sure a lot do but have never felt anything but safe in your home. Thank you, keep up the good work in these difficult times.

We had our evening meal here with friends and could not have wished for more. The pub and staff operated brilliantly under very difficult circumstances, due to the covid restrictions, but produced a lovely meal in a very safe and clever way. Our used glasses were placed in a bowl that had a anti viral solution, which kept everyone super safe.The seating was very well worked out and the menu was inviting and delicious. They honestly could not have done more.The only downside was to witness bad mannered and rude customers/holiday makers harassibg the staff. It was horrid. The staff did their very best to make sure everyone had what they ordered as quickly and as safely as possible. With the 'Eat out to help out' scheme, bills took a little longer to make up, but not to the extent that people felt justified in being so vile to the staff. In conclusion, I would recommend this establishment and the wonderful service and food they provide and, given some of the horrid people, they have had to serve, I would dismiss any negative reviews as nothing more than sour grapes from people who should be ashamed of themselves and their behaviour!

Totally disagree with the poor review below! All food ordered was delicious and well presented. Following the COVID rules to a t. Thank you team O’Brien 😊 Keep up the good work! Xx
