St. Tudy Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Extremely expensive for what it was. Nothing special. Over £200 for 2 diners. My son had beef which was on the specials menu. Three tiny slices of beef, two pools of puree and half a grilled tomato. £45. I had duck breast. Soggy fat layer. Tiny decorative salsify and two small odd dried out potato dauphine but not enough to constitute a main course. We had to order extra sides. Strange. Out of the 6 tables in the part of the pub we sat in, 3 complained about food (we didn't complain). One about quality of another steak dish, one about the same duck dish I had and another about something she insisted was taken off the bill. Whilst our waitress was utterly charming and clearly doing her best (hence why we didn't complain) the delay between courses was very long indeed. We were second to last out of the pub restaurant (only 9.20pm....) and whilst they could have waited a few minutes while we finished our meal, the other tables were being noisily cleaned with spray cleaner which didn't help the taste of the desserts. Awful experience, expensive mistake.

We have eaten here a few times now and cannot fault the Inn. The food is excellent. Good choice on the menu. Great value for money. Very friendly staff who seem to enjoy what they are doing. We always leave with a smile on our face and look forward to returning.

My wife and I visited, and yeah, it was okay: I enjoyed it. VERY expensive for what it is, we're reasonably local and there's a plethora of very similar Michelin aspirational gastro-pubs just off the A30 offering an equivalent but at a lower price. My fish and chips was good. More than enough, tasty and reasonably priced. My wife's crab concoction however? Comically tiny (maybe half a cup, if that) not helped as it wasn't suggested sides were ordered to beef it up to snack size. At thirty quid, forty-two with sides, the quality (far too much fennel, far too little crab), ambience and service just didn't match. To be honest, I think the place is hoping, rather than delivering, but good luck anyway.. It's okay. Maybe if your visiting from London a significant mark up on the competition is wholly incidental, but there was just this feeling of 'all fur coat and no knickers' and that you're patronage was to enhance their reputation and business model rather than make your week. Good fish and chips though. Cornwall in August is a lottery.

Very poor service at the St Tudy inn on. Friday Tapas evening . We were not told about the wine tasting and were excluded from it . Plonked in a corner and ignored . I don’t write reviews without complaining privately to the business concerned but they don’t answer emails or tweets

First class Sunday Lunch , really enjoyed our time at St Tudy inn. The staff was very friendly and food was amazing. Thank you team St Tudy Inn

I booked a table at the St Tudy Inn on the back of a recommendation from someone who knew the pub (and (of course) scanning the reviews on Trip Advisor). We weren’t disappointed. In short, the food was excellent. For starters my OH and I shared plates of padron peppers, garlic prawns and scallops which were well seasoned, super juicy and cooked perfectly. (It’s worth noting the scallops were not like the weeny ones we had a couple of nights previously in St Ives for the same price. These tasted much better). Likewise, our mains of seabass and crab ravioli were fantastic; the sea bass was well seasoned with lovely crispy skin accompanied by a creamy crab mash and the crab ravioli were full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Portions were generous too!! For dessert we had sticky toffee pudding and summer fruit crumble which again were delicious. Service was prompt but not rushed. At a whisker under £127 for 2 it didn’t feel too expensive and I would definitely come again. In the round, I can’t see why the St Tudy isn’t at least mentioned on the Michelin web site when compared to one of its neighbouring pubs; it’s just as good.

Went for lunch on a Friday. Good food, well-presented. We had monkfish scampi but with new potatoes instead of fries, and the cheesecake and summer fruits desserts. All were excellent, as were the seasonal veg. Well worth a visit.

We enjoyed a superb meal here with excellent service. There was a lovely atmosphere and it was very busy. The beer, wine and gin we tried were great. We tried the cauliflower cheese soup, zucchini, sea bass, seafood linguini, sirloin and ice cream. Everything was delicious. The staff couldn’t have been any more attentive and friendly. What a lovely village pub.

We stayed at St Tudy Inn for one night with our dog. The rooms were lovely, the bed is super comfy. Very clean and tidy. The restaurant was superb, lovely atmosphere, the bar was filled with friendly locals and a 3 piece string band playing, our dinner was amazing, breakfast also. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Alex especially. Thank you for a lovely time. We both needed it after weeks of working hard. We will definitely be back again. Xx

What a fantastic place to eat the service was second to none the food was great will be coming again very soon we went to a restaurant in Rock last week and this was far far better thank you for a wonderful evening

Had a terrible meal here tonight. Wasn’t busy when we arrived but wait for starters was around 15-20 mins and when they did arrive they were incredibly underwhelming. My partner had the salmon which was under-seasoned and was missing elements listed on the menu. He also found a crab shell within it which was sharp, fed this back but nothing was done about this. I had the beetroot and goats cheese tart which was incredibly sweet, under seasoned and very small for the £10 price. For mains, my partner order venison which was well cooked but the vegetable sides were under-seasoned and not even fully peeled. I ordered the special Beef Wellington and had to send it back. It was not a wellington - it was a piece of beef wrapped in pastry. No crepe, no mushrooms, no spinach. The beef itself was not a fillet as described, was over cooked and chewy. The vegetables alongside it were again unpeeled and under-seasoned and the crushed potatoes was just butter and mushy potatoes. Waited for a waiter which took about ten minutes and by then my partner had already finished his meal so sent the meal back without reordering. Wellington was taken off the bill and swiftly left after declining desserts. Was still charged £61 for two starters, one main and one round of drinks, only one in which was alcoholic - a beer. Pretty upset by the entire experience. Staff were lovely but were obviously understaffed and the food was a massive let down. Will not be returning.

Lovely pub , very welcoming, staff were excellent, the food was awesome, it was well worth travelling down narrow lanes to this gem of a pub

Came for lunch today. Busy with diners. We were seated in a quiet area as requested. Great service. Lovely food and good choice on menu. Went to the 2 meals for £20 offer. Good size portions. Will definitely go again Thanks

Haven’t been for a while but so glad we returned. Love the atmosphere, the food is perfect, staff totally professional and the manager Paulo is brilliant. Fabulous Sunday lunch. Faultless.

Fantastic ambience, lovely staff, great location, excellent beer and wine choice and delicious starters. However main courses decidedly average left feeling slightly deflated after such a build up

Wonderful roast lunch, gravy was beautiful, meat very tender and lovely range of veg. Totally recommend a trip to explore

Popped in for dinner after driving down for a break. Busy pub offering good selection of menu choices. The hake was delicious and make sure you leave room for the sticky toffee pudding. Service was good, young Tom the waiter was bright and smiley.

This is such a wonderful place to spend some time. The staff are unbelievably wonderful. The restaurant is run impeccably by the manager the very efficient Paulo and his fantastic team. We had the Christmas menu and it was amazing. All beautiful cooked and so well presented. Thank you all so very much. A merry Christmas to you all. XX

I’ve given this place two chances recently and the food has been really poor. Today I had ‘home made scampi’,which turned out to be 6 tiny squares of monkfish deep fried in very greasy batter. Scampi is made from shellfish not monkfish. For the cost the portion size was pathetic. The chips, tartare sauce and pureed peas were all fine but it was a very average meal. The staff are lovely and efficient but the food is very disappointing. I will not be back.

Beautiful village. Had a Sunday roast celebrated a 76th birthday. Great food very tasty , highly recommended!

Really lovely pub with great food and very pleasant staff. We liked it so much we went twice in one week. The roaring fire provides a fantastic backdrop to a very enjoyable evening. Looking forward to popping in for lunch next time!

Stayed two nights. Food excellent. Fresh, hot, good portions. Interesting menu. Hake with risotto perfect, though risotto perhaps could have had a minute more in the pan. Sirloin steak juicy and thick. Venison burger unctuous, chips good. Calamari enormous and soft with a very crisp herbed batter. Half a loaf of fresh sourdough with buttery mackerel pate and salted butter…great. Salmon and crab roulade good. Perfect, friendly service. Decor throughout clean, modern, comfortable. Although at first seeming remote, the place was busy even mid week in a wet November. Clearly a very popular and busy pub, and a good part of the clientele were local. We were the only ones staying overnight. Breakfast excellent. Full Cooked breakfast not overwhelming in quantity but attractively plated and with wonderful sausages.. Our smallish room had been converted a couple of years ago in part of a granite barn. Modern, spare, grey. Coffee pod machine, mop lime tray spring water and cans of beer. Clean, efficient. Biggish shower, hot. Water perfect. Heating easily controlled. Lighting a trifle dark. King bed, very comfortable. Lots of sockets including USB ports. WiFi storing throughout. Oddly, our room was not serviced during our time away on the second day. Not sure why. A criticism that might stop us staying again other than late spring or summer. The village is pretty, but apart from that there is of course nothing to do in the evenings outside the pub and guests are likely to want to watch tv for an hour or two. The tv is 20 inch diagonal (just as advertised). About the size of A3 paper. Rigidly, not swivel, mounted high on wall in the corner. The only place to watch from is sitting or lying on the bed. If latter, you are either 10 or 13 feet from the screen, depending on which side of the bed you are lying on. To read any text, for example, you need to stand up near the screen. It’s far too small. The other side of the door is a blank wall big enough for a 37 inch screen, roughly centred on the bed. Secondly, although a Smart Tv, it requires a set top satellite box and the interfaces are very fiddly to use. We could not, after an hour or so, manage t9 watch live BB1 or BBC2. At the very least, this needs a simple set of instructions.

We went for a family meal, 13 of us including grandchildren and a dog, there is not one element of the evening that did not exceed expectations. Fantastic friendly relaxed service, varied menu with very well cooked dishes (can recommend the fish stew), reasonably priced wine list and beers of a high standard. Great venue we will be back.

We were staying locally and decided to visit after seeing it recommended in The Times. Certainly lived up to the billing - really nice interior, superb great value food and top notch service. Its a little bit off the beaten track - but well worth the effort to get there - you won’t be disappointed! We had the seafood platter and fish and chips, and were tempted by the puddings- which were excellent. Can you open a pub in Kent please, Harbour Brewing Company!

The pub was busy, the landlord welcoming and the menu interesting. Our dog was allowed in if we went to a specified area. It was disconcerting to be required to pay for each drink and course individually, even though we were with a local. I suppose it is not fair to blame the proprietor for this if he has had tourists eating, drinking and running without paying which I presume is the reason for this off-putting practice. The beer was good as was the food, however our waitress was the rudest I have ever encountered! She had less charm than a prison guard. I thought of complaining but it was so extreme that we ended up laughing at what could have been a Monty Python sketch. We may well return, hoping that there has been a staff change.

We are locals and the last two weeks have seen Wednesday night specials menus. Wow. Fabulous curries last week (we had one of each from the menu), and this week we had Tomahawk steak … Andy (chef) and his team surpassed themselves. Best meal I have had in a very long time. And, as always the front of house team provided superb and friendly service. We are very lucky to have this gang in our doorstep. Thanks guys (and girls) 😊

Six of us locals had a fabulous Sunday Roast. The food and the service was exceptional. The atmosphere was excellent and it was good to other locals enjoying their food.

Fantastic food. Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Could not ask for anything better. Well worth a visit. A gem in a beautiful village.

Had a wonderful meal here whilst staying nearby. very friendly welcome, and beautiful decor. The meal was delicious and plentiful, the vegetarian option was also a hit. Will definitely return.

Brilliant staff and service from booking to settling up. Food was excellent and the staff great friendly, funny and helpful. No rushing even though the inn was busy. I would saying booking is a must, can't thank the staff enough for my birthday meal.

We have been several times and wanted to support Paulo. Sunday lunch was excellent. Great service (very pleasant professional staff and lots of them) and great food. Will try the non Sunday menu which we r hoping is more varied than previously eg before Paulo...

Once again the St Tudy Inn and it’s team have been amazing! Last minute booking but never for one minute felt overlooked. The welcome, the food, the drinks and most of all the service. I am so in awe of the quality of the set...

Very welcoming. Great choices on menu. Beautifully presented food and tastes amazing. Little hidden gem and well worth a visit.

We have visited the St Tudy inn whenever we have taken a break in Cornwall . Our experience last night was a break with our usual experience of having a great meal. Our reception was friendly and the ambience was as good as usual ....

4 of us had the roast beef and one the hake it was all delicious! Would also recommend the chocolate mousse for dessert very yummy! The staff were also very friendly and helpful!

We are regular customers at this wonderful venue. It gets better and better. Beautiful plaice with sauté potato’s olives as sun dried tomatoes and my friend had the mussels. Absolutely excellent. The staff are impeccable and Paulo the manager has trained the most wonderful team.

Simply fantastic, we ate here twice during our Cornwall holiday. Unfortunately we only discovered the St Tudy Inn on the penultimate day. Everything from the reception (service), the ambience, the cocktails and the food was fantastic. I have rarely eaten so well in England. If...

Fabulous old building - came across it by chance as staying nearby and wanted to see what was there! This is a Pub / Restaurant! Arranged to go one evening and wasn’t disappointed luckily they could fit us in as we hadn’t booked ! Would...

Stayed two nights with a friend on a short break, two lovely well fitted rooms, complimentary water and beers. Really hearty breakfast and dinner was so good we forgot the planned visit to the famous Padstow restaurants on the second night and ate in, the...

I’ll be honest and say we chose this place as pretty much all other options were fully booked at the short notice we needed to eat. Slightly apprehensive as we were the only customers mid afternoon on a Saturday, it took a little while for...

Me and my husband went for a rare kid free night on our holiday. The place itself was lovely, clean, modern, cosy. The food was amazing, my husband had scallop started and I had ham hock terrine, both beautiful. We both had lamb mains and...

A lovely pub/restaurant with a varied menu plus a board of specials, lovely decor and efficient friendly staff. The service was prompt and the food piping hot, it was deservedly busy. Lots of different areas to sit. We wish them every success and look forward...

Very nice pub/restaurant, very friendly helpful staff, food was good, but also quite expensive, especially for the starters!

Fantastic pud/ restaurant. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. The whole atmosphere is second to none.

Nice spot in the village but a pint of OJ and soda at £4.50 (a lot of which was ice) is a tourist rip off. Avoid.

Good food and service but poor selection for vegetarians and acoustics were poor. One of my friends is a vegetarian and there was only one main on the menu, so no choice. Whilst I am not a vegetarian I sometimes choose one of the options...

Very poor service only 3 items on the lunch menu,risotto was off ,table sticky,food unappetizing,service not really interested in us Won’t be going back any time soon

Family Sunday lunch. Food was plentiful and delicious. Good selection of meats with fish and vegetarian option, so perfect for our party. Nice selection of local ale and craft beers. 9.5/10

Absolutely beautiful food, wonderful service and a thoroughly enjoyable evening out. Very attentive waiting staff, one of the best meals we’ve had, plenty of onsite parking, lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. We will be back!

We visited after a wedding with family and friends for the first time in years. The decor was lovely and although the menu has nothing suitable for vegetarians . They looked after me and created the most delicious vegetarian meal. The staff were also very...

Really lovely pub, food was delicious and service from every member of staff we encountered was excellent. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

£20 for a disappointing roast - this was the second most expensive roast I’ve ever paid for, but probably the worst quality. I’m not sure what the cut of lamb was but it resembled a billy bear slice of ham surrounded in fat. The parsnips...

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch, we shared a duck rillet which was very tasty but for some reason you never get enough toast ! 3 small pieces of toasted sour dough between 2 people use some common sense give an even number...

Really delicious food, relaxed service. Some key things on menu not available which was a shame. Would definitely return.

Booked based on reviews as we couldn't get into our usual pub for our annual trip, there loss. Fantastic food and friendly staff. Chicken pie was a winner as were Rosemary chips. You also get the fun journey to it down rather narrow roads. Will...

Sunday lunch fabulous, light bites to start we had all different ones all absolutely delicious. Roast lunch also delicious with some lovely wines to accompany. Puddings were also a favourite. Thank you .

Just when we thought it could'nt get any better the new chef known as Rob took over the Kitchen. He has so many new and wonderful dishes for us to try. A whole new experience with him giving us samples to try for feed back....

Sweet pub in the middle of nowhere, cosy and nice decor. If you are vegan then this is not the place for you, NOTHING on the starters or mains menu! We emailed in advance requesting vegan catering but the staff were not helpful and the...

In laws wedding anniversary surprise lunch. Excellent food all round . Great service from the young lady on watch. Highly recommend.

This is such a lovely pub. The building is old, full of character and sympathetically updated. The food is delicious and tells the story of a team that really knows what they’re doing in the kitchen. Big flavours, interesting dishes, cooked really well. We enjoyed...

Just the very best of places. A group of us have been visiting this beautiful restaurant every week for the last year. We are people that lunch in various parts of the county regularly. The food has been wonderful and the staff exemplary. We are...

Excellent restaurant with four new rooms on site. Had two really good dinners; the highlight was the Cornish mussels. Menu changed daily. Rooms are close/clean though small and breakfast is extra.

New owners taken this place for a joyride and turned it into an absolute car crash! Waiter was rude and unsavoury with his choice of humour. Food was of equally poor taste. Avoid!

Quite exceptional food and a very welcoming experience. On the recommendation of our hosts at Trewornan Manor we visited this evening and what a treat. Having eaten at many fine restaurants around the country including some of the best in London have to see this...

We stayed over night. On arrival were greeted like old friends. We sat in the bar with a few of the locals whilst the six nations was on tv.made very welcome. Our room was perfect,spottless and comfortable. I didnt want to leave. The rain fall...

I walked in place was empty, asked if I could eat, was told I needed to book, was about 80 tables empty ! So I booked for 30 mins. later, walked my dog round the village, and returned, sat outside, good service, lovely fish and...

We had a great lunch today - tho may have overstayed our welcome, being the last to leave. However, in our defence we enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere so much that we felty entirely relaxed and at home. The Davidstow Wotsits were brilliant and...

Fish and chips I thought would be a safe option but chips were overcooked, dark chestnut brown colour and fish was the same and minted mushy peas were cold. Certainly worth the near £20 price tag

Steve and I stopped off for lunch today on our way home. I thought I did the best french onion soup but I have to say the chef has beaten me again. It was amazing and Steve was very impressed with his bouillabaisse. Looking forward...

Excellent food and atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Owners are very attentive. Kid and dog friendly. Will recommend the Inn to family and friends

Definitely recommend! The food tasted amazing and really nice staff, the food came quickly as well (tasted amazing). Sat by the fireplace not to busy and nice people

The place is nice. But the service isn’t great.. we had 2 tables and rather than just having one waiter/waitress they flicked between a few and inevitably the orders were wrong. Even sending two meals to the wrong people saying they were beef but were...

Booked for Sunday lunch with friends . lovely roast , plenty of meat, veg and potatoes. Some of the group had 3 choices, No complaints. Absolutely delicious. Good service. Thank you .

Fantastic St Tudy. Love the service, Love the Food, always made welcome, please can you offer courses to other establishment like the Pityme Inn St Minver showing them how to run a successful hospitality business. I think I like to keep my reviews too my...

Fantastic food, great service, lovely ambience/atmosphere in a tastefully decorated pub. Lovely local beers too. What's not to love?

A spacious gastro pub in a pretty little village. An unfussy , attractively designed, grey and white interior, with plenty of space between the wooden tables (with wicker chairs.) Paper napkins, small vases of pink carnations on each table. Free guest wifi. Lunchtime mid January...

Great food, could not fault a single thing. Fantastic friendly staff, beautiful pub and amazing service. Definitely worth a visit.

Just enjoyed an absolutely delicious, beautifully presented meal at this delightful inn. The best food I have eaten in a very long time. Staff were lovely, attentive and fun. Can’t wait to visit again.

Booked a table for dinner on NYE after enjoying a fabulous Sunday Roast at this atmospheric vibrant Country Inn. It certainly did not disappoint. The food, wine and service were all excellent. It’s incredibly friendly with a well kept bar. Innovative use of local produce...

Wow , all four of us had a delicious meal and a lovely evening out . Service was excellent . Great menu , very hard to choose as all meals sounded great For starters we had bread and olives and Korean Chicken , so good...

Service was relaxed, highly competent, friendly yet professional and the food was well above gastropub verging indeed on fine dining.. Portions were adequate but not generous but I'd certainly revisit.

Had been wanting to give this place a try for a while and boy was it good. The baked scallops with Hazel and chive butter were cooked to perfection and were very rich although the chive was a strong element which cut through well. The...

My husband booked St Tudy Inn for lunch for my 40th birthday, we were not disappointed. The best parfait I have ever tasted with delicious candied walnuts. From arrival to finish, the staff were friendly and welcoming. I can recommend the steak, melted in my...

We visited the restaurant again on Sunday and enjoyed a fantastic Meal. We are non meat eaters but the vegetables are worth the visit on their own. Everything is top class and it is so nice to be served by such lovely people, all fab...

2nd visit to the St Tudy Inn. The first in January was disappointing for a variety of reasons, but this time..... wow, what a contrast! Great service, great food, great location! Will definately return. Thank you.

After calling in for a quick drink on Saturday we decided to book for Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. Food was excellent and service was great. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

My partner and I went for Sunday Lunch last week and the food was amazing. My partner had the lamb and I went for a roast without the meat. The vegetables and the amazing yorkshire pudding were delicious. We have booked to go again this...

Group of friends out for a meal. The front of house staff were amazing. Lovely welcome, immediate acknowledgment and a professional attentiveness throughout. The two young gentlemen on duty were an absolute credit to you. The food was sublime. The desserts exquisite.

Ate here in June, so had to return when back down this way. The rabbit Wellington was delicious and the poached pear terrific. Obviously popular, Friday night was buzzing, just need to turn down the music to be able to have a conversation. Less rock...

Restaurant fully booked but as a walk in we were happy to eat in the bar. We had a great meal, whipped roe starter, crab cakes. All excellent but the Venison dish was outstanding. So tender, perfectly seasoned and who knew sweetcorn puree could send...
