Star and Garter in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The S&G is fabulous. If you stay here on a trip to Falmouth grab breakfast from Stones bakery on the same street and bring it back here to enjoy the views! The staff are helpful and communicative before check in and after. Importantly the space is clean and stylish! The amenities are great with fresh ground coffee etc - be sure to grab a coffee from the wonderful Beacon coffee shop on the same road too though. Perfectly placed to enjoy all Falmouth has to offer from the town to beaches.

One of the best Sunday roast dinners I’ve ever had. This was awesome!

We heard many great things about the restaurant and thought staying above would be fun for our one night in Falmouth. The Crows Nest room on the top floor was cost with amazing views. A self catering kitchen included, with a local market down the street. The location is right in town at the top of the main road, easy walk to all the shops and eateries. Our dinner was the Sunday roast and though menu options were limited, they were delicious. We had the roast beef and all the fixings (Yorkshire pudding for the win!) The potatoes were super tough - unable to cut but creamy on the inside. Space is small, but dog friendly!

What a great restaurant! We had the most delicious Sunday lunch with some very tasty alternatives to the traditional roast veg fare. And what a delight the vegetarian ricotta filled dumplings were! So nice to see genuine thought and consideration given to the vegetarian offering rather than the all too common afterthought that vegetarian choices can be. Missed the view but this didnt detract from the sumptuous food offering with great service too.

Amazing dinner here, and lovely service! Small menu but incredible food

We definitely recommend dinner at The Star and Garter which was delicious. We chose to have the sharing plates and they were all amazing but a special mention for the crispy squash with whipped feta, hot honey and crispy sage, the Somerset charcuterie salami and the shepherd's pie nuggets. It is a small restaurant with a friendly relaxed atmosphere and it's really lovely that the owner is doing the 'front of house'. We will definitely return when we are in Falmouth.

The most delicious roast, would even go as far as saying best roast I've ever eaten. Very good, would highly recommend. Big portions and all done with a twist. We had the roast lamb, followed by sticky toffee pudding. Only downside I would say, is that it no longer has the views of the sea and is now half the size.

RIP Harbour Views 1892-2024 You used to be able to enjoy a pint looking out over the harbour from this pub. Owners have redeveloped it so view can only be enjoyed from an AirBnB. Sign of the times. Now not worth visiting.

An absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch. Tender meat, as would be expected. But what we didn't expect were all the tasty sides. Massive Yorkshire puddings, really crunchy roast potatoes (but not in an overcooked way), cauliflower cheese with loads of cheese, swede mash, green veg with parmesan. I think it's the best I've ever tasted in over 50 years. It's a shame that there isn't a sea view from the restaurant any more, but get over it, people. The food is the thing. Will return. Many times.

We booked to return to the Star and Garter after a lovely meal there the previous year. We were a little shocked as we walked in (I thought we were in the wrong place), the whole back section of the restaurant was sectioned off and gone with only a very small section with 5 closely placed tables remaining. It has been majority converted into holiday letting accommodation. We listened repeatedly to the waitress having to explain to everyone who walked in and looked confused why the majority of the restaurant and views were gone (make more money with holiday accommodation). We had no idea this was the case, on the website where we booked you can still find a photo of the outside of the building looking through to the previously amazing spacious restaurant with ‘harbour views’ clearly written, so we did feel a bit misled. This should be updated. The small remaining restaurant means you sit very close to everyone and conversations are not therefore private. Despite the above the food was, as it had been before AMAZING but given the close proximity of other diners, the lack of space and views, we won’t be returning unfortunately.

The room was absolutely fantastic lovely views and we had a meal on the Saturday night it was lovely would highly recommend we will be back

So much love for the S&G. The new layout is a great, intimate vibe, the service is immaculate, the drinks are divine, and the food is out of this world. Honestly up there with the best Sunday Roasts I've ever had - and the small plates look sensational. So good. Massive thank you to Becca for being such a fantastic host.

We arrived in darkness. (Thank you convenient key box) and had no idea of the amazing view we would wake up to. Gorgeous decor.. well equipped..we will be back.

Absolutely amazing Sunday Roast definitely one of the best I ever had. They BBQ/smoke many of the elements (not only the meat) which makes it very unique and who ever operate that smoker deserves a medal. We had all 3 meat options between us and all of it were perfect. The cauliflower cheese was from another planet. The sticky toffee pudding was fresh, moist and the cooking timed perfectly. What an inspiration!

When a restaurant has a small menu concerntrated on one theme it has to do it really well. Here they do it really really well, elevating a roast chicken to another level with the Jus, Alioli and salsa verde. We had ours with the roasted beetroot salad and the bread and chicken butter and everything was superb, cant fault the food or the service. If you are in Falmouth put this place at the top of your eating out list. Well done the team at the Star and Garter

Me and my partner came here last night to celebrate his upcoming birthday and parenthood. We loved our small plates, all amazing and filled with flavour. Especially their squash fritters. Drinks were equally impeccable. The service was unmatched, it was our waiters first night working there. He was incredibly attentive, informative with a friendly presence. The other man there was equally as lovely, lost his voice but persevered through the night . The ambience was absolutely perfect, i couldn’t imagine a better place to have spent our first night out together in an extremely long time. overall it was an incredible dining experience, the evening was everything we hoped it would be. highly recommend. we will be back and hopefully be able to enjoy a stay when our little ones are older.

It was a v mid experience for me personally

Having seen the S&G reviewed in a travel magazine years ago, I’ve wanted to stay here ever since. The room view is spectacular, a panoramic look across Falmouth. However the room is in need of some care with lots of obvious marks on the walls, some broken bits here and there and really unclean windows which do diminish the view slightly. Additionally, the room was not fully clean when we arrived with key areas having been missed in the turn around. We emailed the owner to mention this and she was helpful in saying someone would come up to re-clean but we’d cleaned it ourselves instead and we were only there for 1 more night. I’m sure the accommodation would have been top notch at one point but it has seen better days.

Amazing Sunday roast lunch followed up with a superb sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely be back.

Went with friends for evening meal Its a lovely place with great food and lovely staff will defo be returning

Lovely place, food was really good, the atmosphere perfect and the staff were friendly. Will be returning!

Several visits have been made to this establishment and I can honestly say that the food is absolutely fantastic. I've always turned up to collect my food and every time I'm greeted with a warm welcome. The tables have always been laid very professionaly. The atmosphere is very upbeat and relaxing. Since they have changed the layout due to extremely important circumstances which don't concern anyone else, they have made a tremendous effort to ensure business can run as efficiently as possible. I will continue to you visit this restaurant (Yes small but very cosy) not just for really tasty food but even for a drink and a bit of banter. Well done to the team, family, staff, everyone involved for making it the best it can be. A massive hats off to the chef because he is extremely good at his job and certainly DOES know what he's doing in the kitchen. See you all very soon.

So disappointed with cocorico which was formerly the star and garter an amazing pub/restaurant. We were unaware that this had changed and is now a poky dining room. Its identity was lost, no more sea views, the tables were not laid and the whole restaurant had to share a salt and pepper! We ordered the roast beef and chicken. The Yorkshire puddings and potatoes were excellent, the beef was tough and the other vegetables were ok. The drinks selection was average and they didn’t have a corkscrew! We were not asked if we’d like any more drinks after the initial drink. It all just felt very amateurish. We wouldn’t return, which is a shame as it was previously our favourite restaurant in Falmouth.

We booked for the star and garter and when we arrived it was clear something had changed. Instead of the old superb restaurant we now had something totally different. The main dining room had I think been converted to more accommodation and it almost felt like as part of that deal they had to keep a restaurant open. What was left was a half hearted excuse of a place. No salt/pepper on the tables and available on request only (1 set per restaurant), no corkscrew (wtf), cans of cocktails from Waitrose, no draft beers. The person serving and fixing drinks, clearly had not the experience or training to do it. £18 a head for the food which to be honest was a pleasant surprise but was totally ruined by the amateurish everything. I would not return until they decide to do it properly or close - so disappointing.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LET DOWN this time, a pokey dining room of barely 6 tables. Converted the bar into rooms so no more stunning views or atmosphere. Cramped, tables were bare despite us booking in advance, limited drinks menu (Two cocktails one was out of stock) nothing on draft and no spirits or soft drinks detailed. Couldn’t read the menu on the mirror as written in pen that blended in. The waitress was terrible, ordered drinks including fizz which she didn’t offer to pour and neglected to put it in a wine cooler. Cutlery was thrown at us, condiments had to be asked for which were passed around the tiny room - did they really only have one set of salt and pepper? Food arrived and it was luke warm despite them ringing the bell downstairs for service several times (at that point we were the only ones in there). Beef was tough, potatoes overcooked and green veg was undercooked and hardly any. We normally have a starter and dessert - no dessert was offered and they couldn’t get us out of there quick enough because a table of four walked in and there was nowhere for them to sit. Having visited here on a number of occasions over the years (atleast 2-3 times a year) and always on my birthday as the food, service and atmosphere has been amazing. Panoramic views of the sea, woodburner, cocktails and fantastic selection of food/drink. We were really looking forward to it. MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT AND WILL NOT BE VISITING AGAIN. So very sad that they felt they had to ruin what was always a busy premises when previously visited.

I must admit that when I saw that the Star and Garter only really has roast chicken as an option I was a little concerned. However, it was really, really amazing roast chicken with really lovely side dishes. I would definitely return and totally recommend.

This used to be a nice pub but now it’s a poky dining room seating about 14 covers in total. The waitress was flakey and looked surprised at being asked for wine glasses to go with the wine we ordered. We had to ask for water, water glasses and salt. Re wine, there is only house red or house white. Likewise, there were only 2 menu choices: chicken or beef. The food was good - 4 of us had roast beef - but there was only one pepper pot for the whole restaurant (we know because the waitress took it away from us when another table asked for pepper). The service was terrible and this feels like a lazy cafe. I cannot recommend. Avoid.

Firstly I have to say that we booked a table at the restaurant because of the reviews stating the great views of the Falmouth harbour from here. Unfortunately this part of the restaurant has been converted to accommodation. All that is left are four tables at the front with a view of the road. We had Sunday roast which was ok, but pricey at £18. Wine is limited to house red/white/rose with a limited choice of ales. One hour into our visit I was asked if the waitress could take one of the two small tables we were using for another booking. So the three of us bunched around a single table. We were not even asked if we would like desert. Overall not the best experience. The accommodation side of the business is excellent and definitely recommended.

This place was once the best restaurant I Falmouth. We used to visit at least 3 times a month for either a Sunday roast or a casual dinner bring friends and family from out of town etc... Now, a shadow of its former self! I have no idea what the new owners where thinking, but blocking out those lovely views and the offering of the expensive Nando’s is such a shame. We certainly will never be back. 😔

Shocking. Had a table booking for 7:45. Running late, so rang and left a message saying we would arrive at 8:15. Arrived at 8:18. incredibly patronising lady said " sorry my lovelies, your table has gone. " Genius hospitality. Don't be late folks, or looking for good service.

Really cool find, I read about this place in local press and it did not disappoint, assuming you love chicken of course.. Enjoyed a delicious family chicken dinner here, the whole chicken was delivered to the table cooked to perfection, perfectly roasted and seasoned, with a selection of incredibly tasty hot and cold accompaniments. The banquet was generous but we still managed to eat almost everything, we couldn’t leave it alone! What a great idea, a different way to eat out, sharing a common meal, whilst having the feel of an intimate family dinner. Recommend booking well in advance as tables are limited and I’m guessing this is a popular place that people would visit again and again. The service was exceptional, highly recommend giving this a try.

Nothing could have prepared me for my stay. There was not one thing I would want to change. Everything was utterly perfect. The apartment contained everything you could need for an overnight stay or longer. I was lucky enough to stay for business and I was completely bowled over with the high standard of the entire apartment. Have recommended to all of my friends and colleagues and will be returning next time I am in the area. If you are contemplating a stay here…book!! Exceptional, you won’t be disappointed.

First night of serving food- to take out only. We ordered the whole chicken with sides and sauces . It was delicious.The chicken was lovely and succulent. The butternut squash, veg and potatoes were all to die for. Delicious home made mayos and a very tasty red pepper sauce. Was such a lovely meal. Would highly recommend.

We stayed for one night in the Penthouse (a set of three rooms above the Star and Garter). Superbly decorated and equipped throughout from the very capable kitchen to the most comfortable bed with en-suite jacuzzi bathroom. And the view over the river - wonderful....

This was mine and my partner's first time visiting The Star & Garter, and it was perfect! We requested a window seat and we got one even though Sunday is their busiest day, the view was stunning. Our waiter and waitresses were so friendly, and...

A brilliant Sunday Lunch with family and 2 small children who were typically children. The food was delicious and included several roasts, a couple of fish dishes and also a roasted carrot vegetarian option , much better than it sounds. The Yorkshire puddings were massive,...

Sunday roast overall was disappointing for all three of us but for different reasons. The lamb was tough and inedible. The food wasn’t very warm. The Yorkshires are an impressive size but dry and over-cooked. There is no veggie roast option which is ridiculous. Service...

Lamb was delicious- very tender. While not shown on the menu they do smaller portions at half price which avoids food wastage and is a great value. Views over the harbor are excellent as was the service. I had the fish special (hake) which was...

The best roast dinner I’ve ever had! We booked here for lunch and was seated in the doggy-friendly bar area. The atmosphere and views are great from inside and the Sunday Roast was wonderful. We had the beef and slow cooked lamb. Service was friendly...

The Star & Garter is a restaurant with a great deal of relaxed charm. I was dining alone, which can often result in being overlooked by staff. However, in this case, they were attentive and friendly. They clearly knew the menu very well and were...

We stayed for 1 night in the Crows Nest room. I have to say the room was gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay. Really cosy, romantic room with amazing views. There were a few little things that could have been better but not worth...

We love this place. Lovely atmosphere, great location with estuary views and excellent service. The food is amazing and it never disappoints. Cannot fault it.

Absolutely gorgeous apartment with stunning views. We wishes we could have stayed longer & cant wait to come back! Lovely restaurant downstairs which we will try next time. The apartment was decorated beautifully & amazingly comfy bed. Thank you!

Lovely food on NYE, the monkfish scampi was amazing, beautiful batter and pickled onion rings. Between us we had the duck, steak, pollock and chicken schnitzel dishes. They were all so delicious. The only reason for 4/5 was because the drinks were slow to come...

We visit the Star & Garter every time we come to Falmouth. The food is always 10/10 with a menu that is always seasonal. The cocktails & wine were reasonable at a 10/10. Thank you for another wonderful dinner with the most beautiful view out...

Great service, beautiful views, festive and cosy! My friends and I came here for a girly Xmas roast dinner and it was absolutely delicious! Generous portions and excellent quality. Will definitely return

Superb food, excellent hosting, fantastic views and a casual chic atmosphere make this THE place to eat in Falmouth. Can’t wait to return

Visited for a belated birthday roast with the family. We were greeted warmly but happy smiley and friendly staff. We were shown to a small table to wait as the previous customers were still enjoying their after dinner drinks which was absolutely no problem at...

Fantastic find up a side street near the St Mawes Ferry terminal. Cosy and friendly place with fantastic views of St Mawes and the Falmouth waterfront. Great selection of unusual drinks and an excellent food menu. We arrived at 4.30 just as the light was...

We came for a roast and it was the best roast we ever had! The beef was perfectly cooked, the crackling was amazing and even the veg was so tasteful and amazing. Literally cannot rave about this roast enough!! Will definitely be back again and...

We came for our last night of the holidays meal and sat in a window table. Steaks were among the best I’ve had and the wine so good that we’ve tracked it down to buy

We popped in on the off chance as in passing it looked nice. We were in for a treat. Lovely surroundings, great views at the back, and great tunes. The food? Wonderful. I had steak which was cooked to perfection. The good lady had monk...

We were told steak did not have any bone marrow and that we would get more steak to make it up. We got 4 slices of steak each, with a bit of green on the side. Then the chips were inedible having been salted 5...

We went there for dinner on Sunday, not knowing that Sunday is a special menu. Would really recommend the lamb shoulder for main, and sticky toffee pudding with banana for dessert. If you're lucky, you may also get the corner table by the window, which...

We stayed in the Penthouse room, and were very impressed! From the moment you walk in your eye is immediately drawn to the three large windows which look out over the harbour. The combined kitchen/diner/ living room is very light and spacious with everything you...

I am a bit of a foodie and rarely surprised in UK restaurants, but the food here is off the scale GOOD ! The Star and Garter is a lovely old pub overlooking the harbour and full of antiques and memoribilia that add to it's...

We ate in a booth, overlooking the most beautiful River Fal estuary as the sun set offer a day on the water, the service, care & food were delightful. We ordered a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu which they made with pleasure & no...

Brilliant food but please check your bill before you pay as you can be charged for items you did not order

The food was all excellent( burger, monkfish and roasted courgette) and flavoursome, including my son's vegan option. The stick toffee pudding with vanana was a delightful twist on the classic. The service was friendly, helpful and speedy, while the location provides great views of the...

Fantastic Friday night drinks and a delicious Sunday roast with a wonderful view from a prime spot in Falmouth with lovely service!

We are food snobs .. finding the perfect Sunday roast anywhere can be a challenge .. but of all the places we have been the star and garter roast is just awesome… never had a smoked cooked roast before .. the beef and pork were...

Not up to their usual standards. The veggie option was tasteless and uninspired. My chicken was dry and over cooked and the monkfish was under cooked. A couple of mistakes front of house and the wouldn’t take cash. It’s not cheap and the food and...

A window seat overlooking Falmouth harbour made even this rainy evening seem great. Service and food all very good. Has quite a unique vibe, looks like an old pub but feels like a classy restaurant.

Accomodating for a last minute booking! Food was beyond amazing! Staff were friendly! 10/10 would recommend!

We chose this restaurant to celebrate my partner’s birthday and we were not disappointed. Every dish was good - ox rib cooked to perfection; monkfish tail really tasty if a little salty; delicious desserts, the only possible criticism of which could be that they were...

It was our 10th wedding anniversary and with all the pandemic rubbish the last few years we didn't want to chance abroad. So for our first child free celebration weekend in God knows how long we booked the crows nest apartment for the weekend at...

Lovely place with beautiful views over the Fal estuary. My wife and myself booked our Sunday lunch which I would recommend doing as it looked very busy. We both decided on the roast beef which came up totally pink, and nearly an inch thick like...

Popped in for a couple of pints, and was astonished to be charged £7.50 per pint of Verdant ‘guest’ beer. When queried why we were paying higher than London prices - in Cornwall - was met with a quizzical and somewhat uninterested stare. Probably a...

The food here is amazing- so tasty and a bit different from the norm. It was so good we rebooked for later in the week. The ox tail, monkfish, chicken schnitzel and pork were all gorgeous. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve ever...

One of the best eating out experiences I've had in a while. Interesting menu very well delivered, excellent service and an excellent setting will definitely visit again when I next come to Falmouth

We stayed four nights in one of the apartments above the restaurant. The apartment was well kitted out and spacious, and the views over the harbour were stunning - they even included binoculars! We ate in the restaurant twice and the food and service were...

Had a lovely Sunday dinner with family here. Haven't been here for a long time but won't leave as long next time. Full roast beef with all the trimmings, a lovely view, and nice draft beer!

Once every few months we go here for a Sunday lunch, the food is great and so are the drinks this place is in a great location.

We went for a drink after walking round Falmouth town centre.They ran out of a beer that a family member wanted

Can’t keep away from The Star and Garter. This is the second time that we have visited Falmouth this year and had to go back for their Sunday lunch. Service and location are second to none and the view over the water are amazing. Food...

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course dinner at the Star and Garter. One of the best meals we’ve had in a pub in a very long time. Particularly enjoyed the devilled crab starter and blackberry cheesecake sundae. Great beer on tap too. The pub was...

We had dinner and drinks in this gorgeous restaurant. The atmosphere was cosy and twinkly and Ben’s sound track hit the perfect background note. The menu was refreshingly different and there were several dishes we would have liked to try. Everything we did order was...

Has been a while since we were last down here but we made sure to book a table at the Star & Garter and we were not disappointed. £30 for three courses on “Happy Mondays” is a bargain and there were plenty of customers taking...

Excellent food. Staff were very professional but friendly. Lovely ambience with good choice of music. All in all a great experience, would thoroughly recommend.

We normally love this place and today it was so bad! It was a new menu and the food was really not good! Such a shame.

Wandering along Falmouth high street we came upon the Star and Garter on a Sunday evening. The welcome was efficient and very welcoming, the service was slick and knowledgeable. The warm glow of the fire matched the whole evening which could not have been better...

Found this place by chance when Googling ‘best Sunday roast in Falmouth’. I’m so pleased I did! Must have got the last table when I booked online late the night before as the place was buzzing with people being turned away. Great, friendly, fast service....

Lovely spot with nice views, good cocktails and great service. The food was all very tasty too and we left very happy. We will definitely be returning.

Best burger we've had in a while! Awesome cocktails and cold pints. Great service and child and dog friendly, what else could you ask for??

We liked: the dog friendlyness, the lovely wines, excellent cocktails, delightful service. We weren’t sure about: none of the staff wearing masks. We understand it’s not a legal requirement but it does feel strange. The batter on the hake overwhelmed the fish. We didn’t like:...

Returning to this highly rated pub with accommodation. Our 3rd stay and we have now sampled all 3 apartments. This time the spacious Penthouse. Decided to extend our stay from 3 to 4 nights as the Penthouse was available. For various reasons it was also...

Great food and drinks , very relaxed atmosphere, staff were amazing, would defo go back if in Falmouth again, dogs allows in and great views match the food !

Thankyou so much for a wonderful evening. The food was superb. So tasty - best meal I’ve had in ages The staff topped it off by being attentive and friendly and with an accurate knowledge of the food First class

Get the monkfish scampi. The homemade tartare sauce and pickled veg create a taste party. Get the burger. It’s the best burger probably ever. It’s messy, how burgers should be, no pretension, just rich flavour and melt in your mouth texture. On the side, the...

Another Sunday Lunch at the Star and Garter. We try and visit here when in Falmouth, what can I say amazing food, drinks and environment. The attention to detail is amazing and it has a fab atmosphere.

Amazing little gem, lovely setting with panoramic views across the harbour, staff really friendly and food was amazing! We loved it!

Fantastic delicious home cooked Sunday roast, never seen such huge Yorkshire puddings. Lovely friendly staff, amazing views overlooking the sea and harbour. Would highly recommend.
