The Archer Arms in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We visited the Archers Arms for sunday lunch last Sunday, they were fully booked in the restaurant but we were able to eat in the bar, we are a family of 5 (11,10 and 6). We had a table right next to a roaring log burner which was lovely. The Sunday lunch is served as a carvery, the portions were very generous and the food was of a very high standard. All the staff are friendly, helpful and polite. Its a cracking village pub with great food and a lovely atmosphere, we will definitely be back again.

Wonderful food and great value. A little basic surroundings but wouldn't put us off going again

Food was 1st class as was service but a little basic surroundings. Still would go again as food was excellent!

Great family run pub. Traditional Sunday lunch with perfectly roasted veg and suet pudding. Plenty of parking and friendly staff.

Warm and friendly pub with a restaurant and great food.

A lovely local pub with a real friendly vibe. A short drive from Launceston this is a brilliant little local pub, they have a great selection of ciders and a lot of other drinks on offer too including some real ales. There’s always really nice buzz here so you’re bound to have a lovely time when we you stop by. Their food is where they really excel, with all of their food being delightful, a special mention for the mushrooms on toast! I have also heard very good things about their roast but am yet to try it myself. They also have a separate restaurant space so if you want to eat away from the main bustle on the bar you can escape there. Although a meal in front of their fire is the perfect place.

My wife and I moved to the village 7 months ago and had been told the pub did "great Sunday lunches". We've had lunches there during the week but this was our first Sunday experience! Book well in advance to get a table, and no need to dress smartly! The restaurant was full of happy customers, many of whom seemed to know each other. (This is a friendly, local pub). The food, from a carvery, was excellent: a choice of 3 meats and around 7 vegetables, all hot and well cooked! Overfilling your plate was just too tempting! The chef had time to come round and welcome us, and the service was faultless. The price, too, was half of what I'd expected. Will we go there again? Definitely!!

Food was hot and tasty, staff friendly and helpful

On holiday locally. Visited on Friday Lovel village pub. Staff all very nice waitress lovely. Made very welcome. Food was outstanding 😁 I had duck this was the best duck I have ever had. Also gammon, steak and monkfish was excellent. Also had Sunday lunch also excellent 👍 We look forward to returning before end of our holiday. Reasonably priced and good beer selection. Dog friendly so even better.

Very well run country pub,owners accomodate all,great food and atmosphere

Lovely food and reasonable prices 😄

A really delicious meal, all home made

To say it was rough is an understatement! First word we heard coming through the door was 'Dildo'! I'm not a prude but was with a 9 year old at 6pm!! Biggest mistake was that we should have left then but didn't as we were starving! Chose to stay and that was a mistake. Large hairy 'German Shepherd' type dog in the kitchen, food was ROUGH - eggs with the Gammon could have broken a window and had black flaky bottoms - Chips were soggy due to so much water on plate that hadn't been drained from the peas - stale Fudge Cake - the list goes on! Table next to us complained - they ordered Steak and Ale Pie and got some sort of chicken pie - without being told. Not to mention the Flies! Restaurant decor - train station waiting room at best - no atmosphere but at least we were away from the obviously underage groups in the bar swearing! Unfortunately phone lost battery before I could take pics of the 'food'. It was relatively cheap but avoid at all costs!

Fantastic food, with a relatively cheap price tag, good service

Food was absolutely incredible. Best pub grub we've ever had. We were a table of 8 and everyone one of us cleared our plate.

A proper pub with great food and beer. Very friendly staff and locals. Chanced across it as theJamaica Inn was rammed. Anyone going down that way go here not there. Great daily chefs specials, the lamb and mint pie is highly recommended as is the steaks and fish and chips.

Excellent food and staff well worth a visit

We only had a pint and half plus cheese sandwich and chips but it was all very pleasant . The lady behind the bar said that she had not been born when I last called in . I liked it and you may too . A bit off the beaten track .

First time visiting this pub. Travelled from Plymouth to meet the parents for a carvery. The staff are friendly and they always had a smile on their faces. Dining area is at the back of the pub in a separate room from the bar. Food was lovely and hot with fresh top ups coming out regularly plenty of veg choices. Desserts was amazing I had a strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake parents had lemon meringue pie. Food portion size was good. There is parking in a small carpark at the side of the pub which gets busy at times but plenty of street parking or a town hall carpark across the way. I recommend you book for the Sunday carvery as limited tables and proved popular by the older generation. Would definitely go back. Dog friendly.

We've just eaten in the Archers Arms, what a lovely local pub, terrific food and service, we will definitely return. A+ Atmosphere wasn't great great, but to be fair it was Thursday and early evening.

We have had a number of visits here. The Archers did not disappoint. The atmosphere and being made to feel welcome is lovely. The Specials board certainly tantalises the tastebuds. We had a number of different dishes and they did not disappoint. A lovely pub in a lovely village.

Excellent local pub serving great value pub food. Paid a couple of visits whilst staying in the village, lovely people. Fair range of drinks on the bar, all kept well. Well worth a visit.

Great local pub in a lovely little village. We called here most nights during our stay in the village. Nice local food surpassed by the great welcome we were given by the locals and the owner Rob. Good selection of drinks on the bar, kept well. Food looked great and reasonably priced, the one meal we had was excellent, you wont leave hungry. Service was personal friendly and helpful. Plenty of smiling faces, just what you want! Highly recommend.

Spent a really pleasant lunch time playing bingo. My friend and I usually go to a cafe for lunch once a month so thought we would try the lunch with bingo. It is well organised and very reasonably priced. The food was well presented and perfect portion. We enjoyed it so much it will be a regular venue now.

Visited whilst staying at Roosters retreat. Little local with lovely atmosphere. Excellent homecooked food, I had the turkey pie and oh had fish and chips. Best pie I have ever had, would definitely recommend!

Nice local, family friendly pub

Amazing place for a family with friends, lots of fun and laughs. It’s perfect for kids or a drink with friends

Fantastic meal we had tonight thanks

Very good atmosphere with top quality electrical installation

Mothers Day Carvery...Excellent. Choices of 3 meats,fresh veg,potatoes and Suet Crust pudding (yummy). Desserts selection so lovely. In fact booked for next Sunday to do the 2nd sitting of Mothers Day with the other part of the family. Forgot photos. Was too busy tucking in.

Lovely food and great staff, felt very welcome. Highly recommended

Staff are brilliant food is great well done

Very friendly (proper) pub with proper food. 👌 You won't leave hungry.. 😋

Good food ,great staff very friendly, nice well kept pub

We booked the Archer Arms as nothing was too much trouble. Gemma organised a mixture of food for 40+ people, which under the circumstances was so helpful. The whole family commented what a great local pub it is, i will be returning as often as possible.

A really friendly (dogs very welcome too) local pub with excellent good value menu. Basic bar area with cosy wood burner and a restaurant too.

The carvery was very nice. Lovely little pub.

Excellent food & service thanks again can't wait to eat again.

Popped in for lunch on the off chance good food and service. Thank you.

Nice welcome and lovely food. Would recommend.

We visited the pub whilst on holiday and we were not disappointed. It was lovely to see the good old fashioned basket meal on the menu, as well as a large selection of other food I called it proper pub grub and the staff were friendly and there is plenty of room to eat. Lovely pub!!!!

Lovely atmosphere. Polite and friendly staff, and excellent food

Good food and beer, Friendly, helpful staff.

Great carvery and fantastic beers.

Fantastic food!!! Great atmosphere and value for money!!! Highly recommend!!! The deserts are amazing and a must!!!

Called in on the journey home from Penzance. Great food & drink, friendly staff. Will be calling there again very soon.

Friendly village pub. Booked the table about a seek prior to our holiday for Sunday. Delicious Sunday roast. My choice of vegetarian Cheddar & garlic parcel was so tasty. Plenty of veg on offer. Great value. Desserts popular, they all looked great. Thanks for a super dinner.

After a long drive we wanted a nice pub meal There were a lot of staff that didn’t seem to do much but the young lad that served us was polite! We ordered food - my partners was so hot straight out the frier he couldn’t eat it - it burnt his mouth. Half my meal didn’t turn up very disappointing left hungry. The room we sat in was full of flies buzzing round our table And to top it off after leaving we saw a dog in the kitchen I’m sure that health and safety states this is a massive no no

This goes against most of the reviews so feels a bit awkward... If it was just down to how nice members of staff were, I would have given a 5 (so I feel sorry about the overall score). If it was just about food I would have given a 3: my wife's and kid's choices were barely average, my pulled pork burger was partially burned (I had to remove parts of it) and was just bread and meet, nothing else in it. However, there was a dog in the kitchen! I walked more than ones in front of the kitchen, dog there with staff working next to it. And that, I'm afraid, can only be a 1.

We called in to The Archer Arms on Monday 16.08.2021. on the recommendation of our holiday accommodation owners. and found it to be a really lovely, traditional, pubWe were advised to book so called in about an hour before our intended reservation time and were greated by a very friendly and hospitable landlady who took our booking and greated us again when we arrived back for our meal.This is a charming pub serving good, wholesome, traditional fare to a high standard with very generous portions (and gorgeous chips !!), we both had the burgers (one with cheese) and they certainly filled us upThe landlord, landlady and their staff are all very charming but, be aware that they do have two large Alsatian dogs which were also very welcoming and not threatening at all but they can be intimidating wandering through the barA great find though and we would highly recommend

This is a hidden gem .It has no website we had to book through facebook . Lovely friendly staff . Great food all your usual pub grub , curry and lasagne and a good selection of puddings . Best place we ate at during our stay in cornwall . Well worth a visit if your in the area .

Discovered as a last minute place to eat, not far from our accommodation… and what a lovely pub! Staff were very friendly as seemed the locals at the bar. Good pub menu with enough choices for us and our children (who ate from the main menu). Hot food, great portion size and lovely desserts. Two beautiful big GSD that were lounging around and not bothered by all the coming and going. Can’t believe we haven’t found this place before, but it will definitely be on our list next year when we return on our holiday. Thank you.

Lovely pub in a very beautiful village. Food is outstanding and really good value for money. Staff are friendly and always willing to help. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Great pub with a good atmosphere and fab food. The staff are super welcoming and they are VERY dog friendly (the pub has their own two dogs which are just gorgeous). Will be visiting again during our Lewannick stay.

Stayed in the village so visited the local for food. Visited on a Monday evening. Booked earlier in the day, pub was busy so pleased we had. Very welcome reception. Rely dog friendly!! (Some places say they are but this is proper dog friendly) Food was fab! So tasty and very well priced. Healthy portions too. All in all really enjoyed our visit and are planning another trip before we go home.

Our second visit. This time for an Evening meal as welll as drinks. Both meals, steak and a chick pea curry were tasty and our garlic bread with cheese and creamed mushrooms starter likewise. The landlords, staff and locals were friendly and welcomíng. We are staying about a mile away. The barmaid gave us a lift back! We are returning for our evening meal later today as itisour last day here. We will defi itely be back on our next visit to Launceston.

Had a lovely lunchtime in The Archer. Gemma and Rob have done a brilliant job with the refurbishments. Had a delicious lunch. The Cod was great. So nice to sit in the pub and socialise after all this time.

Great pub, lovely food and friendly staff. Our young waiter was so helpful with menu choices. Nice outdoor seating area.

We booked this place on the off chance and wasnt disappointed. Staff are very friendly and the food was brilliant. A real gem of a place

Stopped off on way home 🏡 what a gem Good food, tasty beer & welcoming banter even if politically incorrect! Highly recommended Do the raffle too 😅

We came here on a Saturday lunch with family. The pub were very understanding of the young kids with us and put us in a corner so the kids could run about without annoying anyone else. The food was delicious, so we came back again on the way back home. Will be our stop off going forward on the journey to and from the end of Cornwall.Husband had the burger, it was like a burger van burger and the best he'd had in a long time. I had scampi. Also amazing. Only disappointment was that the meal was so big we couldn't fit in any pudding!

On holiday and found this gem of a pub, food was good on all 3 visits, staff were friendly and a great atmosphere, highly recommend a visit if your in the area. We will definitely return.

We wanted some pub food on the way down to Cornwall and decided to stop at Archer Arms for a couple of pints and some traditional pub food as it was just 5 mins off the A30 and this place didn’t disappoint. The three of us had liver & onions and steak & kidney pies washed down with Doom Bar - perfect!

We moved to the neighbouring village of Polyphant a couple of years ago and The Archers Arms has been a regular for a quick meal out and a pint during this time, dog friendly and great food and great hospitality what more do you need, During lockdown takeaways were added and all ways not and tasty, looking forward to the restaurant being finished and more nights out with friends.

I had my birthday meal here with my family on September 8th and it couldn't have gone any better. It was a big group but the service was fantastic as always and I could not fault the food once single bit. It was perfect, every steak was amazing.Drinks were flowing and lot of fun had. Thank you everyone who helped.

The food was very good, I had a chicken burger. The pub was not covid safe, there was a hand sanister at the door, but the menus were dirty, there seemed to be no social distancing, and possibly a popular ‘locals’ pub.. However I’d definitely go back once the pandemic has passed.

I absolutely love the Archers Arms and will definitely be making it my local even though its about 10miles away! The family that run it are friendly, chatty and up for a laugh any day of the week. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The food turn around is good and the chips are just delish! Puddings do tend to disappear quickly so make sure you get your order in asap so you dont miss out on the good ones! The Archers Stack burger and Chocolate Torte is to die for!

Great atmosphere, excellent service and the food is outstanding. Cooked to perfection, all produce sourced locally and portion size leaves you too full for a pudding! Would recommend the T-bone or Rump steak - delicious! We’ll be regular visitors now during our annual visits to Cornwall. We also loved the additional company from Duke the dog, our kids are already asking when we can go visit him again. See you next year.

We visited the Archers Arms while on staycation, we had booked a table and was shown to a room which still hadn’t been finished (bit of a building site) but was told we could be moved into the main pub area to eat. The food was delicious, the steak melted in the mouth and the kids inhaled their food. The portions were big but we finished them. We were lucky to have visited while the eat out to help our scheme was on so our bill was amazing for the quality of food. This is a dog friendly pub so expect lots of canine friends around, especially a rather large German Shepard who must live there but was super chilled! Definitely worth a visit

We went to The Archer Arms on spec having just moved to Launceston and needing a break from unpacking. The food was freshly cooked, down to earth classic pub meals - Covid-19 precaustions in place, appeared family-freindly, there was a background of local chatter and they were taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. A really good experience and we'll be back in due course.

What more could you ask for, lovely pub in a village setting with great landlord and welcoming staff. The addition of the new restaurant (work in progress) will be an excellent addition when complete. It’s great that they have been able to use the space to enable the social distancing and meet the popularity of the government 50% scheme. This has really pushed a lot of places to their limits and the Archers have risen to the challenge. We ate here every night for a week whilst staying in the village and we cannot fault any of the meals, drinks or desserts that we consumed, the steaks are always cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Duke and Luna - the four legged Landlord and Landlady welcomed our 4 legged friend and are a great part of this country pub.

We enjoyed a great holiday last week with the Archers Arms our local. We were in there every night of our stay and the food was always excellent. Great atmosphere and lovely staff, landlord extremely welcoming. Thank you.

First night had 16 once rump steak and all the trimmings. Ate all the steak but couldn’t finish the wonderful chips, just too much.Second night, had starter and dessert as all the locals said got to have the cheesecake. Didn’t have main course so could fit it all in!!!Everything is made in house and had cadburys caramel cheesecake and wife had cherry cheesecake. Absolutely to die for, if you are anywhere close to this pub/restaurant, just go there, but book first because if you can’t get in you will be gutted!!

Visited as part of Eat Out 50%. Great atmosphere, Great food, we had burger, chicken and a 16oz steak Reasonable prices then reduced by 50% Can't wait for the building work to be complete so more tables....

We holidayed nearby for a week and visited on Tuesday night which happened to be steak night, steak and a pint for £10. This coincided with the eat out to help out initiative so worked out very well! Steaks were perfectly cooked and the chips were really good. We returned on Wednesday to try the pie and a pint offer, also very good. Large portions and very tasty. The cheesecake and the apple crumble were also delicious. Have to admit we also ate on Thursday and Friday to try more of the menu and were very happy with it. Lovely pub, very welcoming staff and pleasant clientele too. Dog friendly as well.

great service as always, have been using this for take aways ,now the pub open friendly, great service the Wednesday pie and chips , pie made on premises steak and ale pie very tender,tasty , other pie available . the lemon meringue pie hand made

Popped here on a bit of a whim, was nearby on our way back and by gosh are we glad we did! Very dog friendly, even greeted by the lovely pub dog Duke! We visited on a Tuesday night which happens to be ‘steak night’ which includes steak and a drink for £10, which seemed such a bargain that the expectations weren’t overly high, but to our surprise it was absolutely fantastic! The steak was so tender and delicious, I order steak blue and more often than not when it’s served it is overcooked, but my steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the Stilton sauce to go with was to die for! Molly was superb, welcoming and extremely hard working, 100% recommend a visit!

Me , partner and 2 teenage children went for a spare of the moment birthday meal for my Partners 50th as we were passing through and found this lovely little pub . Food was lovely and portions were absolutely huge . All of us enjoyed our meal . And Gemma made us feel extremely welcome and very friendly including customers who were also very welcoming . All in all a great experience with good food . Thank you x

Stumbled across this great pub online and wow it is worth a visit. Great, friendly owners and amazing home made food. My partner had the steak and a drink for £10 (amazing taste and value!) and I had the beef curry with home made poppadoms and chutney. The best curry I’ve ever had from a pub - really fresh and tasty. Good that they offered different currys to suit your pallet - I opted for the madras. The cheesecake was recommended by the owner and he wasn’t wrong about how good they were. We had 1 lemon and 1 mint aero. Huge portions and so tasty. Would definitely return. Exceptional value for everything we had - £35 for 2 mains, 2 desserts and 2 drinks! Thank you all.

Had a wonderful meal at the Archer's Arms. Enjoyed their £10 steak offer and some haddock fish cakes. Meals came super quick and were delicious! Staff very friendly and the pub has a very country feel. Dogs also welcome!

What a lovely (takeaway) meal cooked by Gemma and her staff - would definitely recommend to others and will be using ourselves again in the very near future - a big thank you guys - and #staysafe !!

What a find this place is! Fabulous home cooked food at a very good price and good sized portions. The pub itself is a proper village establishment with lovely staff who give you a really warm enthusiastic welcome, with an excellent range of drinks to choose from and a superb comprehensive menu this is the place to dine if you want great service and great food!

This was our second visit travelling several miles to get here. The food is excellent good value for money and the service superb. Will definitely return again and again. Cant recommend highly enough

Welcoming pub with friendly locals, small but cosy, food was delicious, served quickly and huge portions at a reasonable price. Would reccomened to anyone. Probably needed an extra staff member. 👍😊🙏🎉

Lovely steak night steak and drink for a tenner Great chef Tori cheeky waitress Leyla xx Great atmosphere

Had a really lovely family meal, good service, well priced, altogether very nice. Thank you very much.

Visited numerous times whilst on holiday. On each and every occasion we received 1st class service. Every meal we had was excellent from ordering off the specials board to the regular menu. Excellent portion size and value for money. Would recommend this pub for food or just for a drink.

We often take my elderly dad to The Archer Arms for Sunday Lunch and it is always delicious with generous portions and a real home cooked taste. No matter how busy they are, the service is always prompt and the staff very friendly. We look forward to the next visit. Thank you Gemma and Rob

The Archers Arms is a one of a kind pub. Delivering the local village with delicious, homemade meals for a very good price. The pub is very welcoming to everyone with open arms. Every Tuesday their is a meal deal for £10 including a delicious steak and a pint or other refreshments. If you are near this pub I would recommend you to visit.Everyone is the pub is chatty and friendly.

We had a Sunday roast here recently and loved the fact that the pub obviously hasn’t changed for years. It’s not part of a chain with all the fake beams etc that go with chain pubs but is still olde worlde in a genuine manner. The locals were friendly, it was quiet and the food was fresh and beautifully cooked. As it was a Sunday only the Sunday roast was on the menu but that felt right for the venue. We had a small roast turkey meal which came with all the trimmings and tasted as good as a Christmas dinner and was incredibly cheap for what we had. Absolutely recommend this place.

The food was great but why have pepper in paper sachets and if the girl had used a tray she could have brought everyone their coffee in one go instead of four trips. Milk in jugs please, a plastic four pinter is a bit crass. But the food was good and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Called in on a recommendation about the Tuesday deal.A steak and a pint for £10.The meal was very good value hot and well presented.Waitres was very pleasant lady behind the bar was chatty.Overall it was very good will go back very soon.

3 visits in 2 weeks with no negatives. Twice for Tuesday steak night £10 for steak and a pint and once for Sunday lunch. Meal prices are brilliant and food is even better. Some "gastro pubs," could learn some valuable lessons in this quaint homely pub. The staff are very welcoming. We own a caravan in Launceston and have to go home for a month and already looking forward to coming back to visit the Archer Arms again but not before one last meal, Sunday lunch.

We recently had a short holiday in Cornwall and went to the Archer Arms one evening as it was just a few minutes from our holiday home. The pub is clean and tidy, and has a fair menu with enough options to satisfy most.

Unassuming, unpretentious locals pub, welcoming and friendly, excellent quality, homey pub grub complete with chatty locals. Fab chips too. Dogs allowed in the bar, even big ones! Sadly we had no room for pud - what a shame! Maybe next time!

Excellent all round experience. Fantastic Steak, cooked to perfection. Great value for money, with the price and more than ample quantity. Also great service. Thoroughly recommend this lovely pub.

Never been disappointed with the food and service at this lovely pub. Best Sunday Roast ever and delicious fried breakfast the first Saturday in the month. Gemma, Rob and the staff are always welcoming. Highly recommend this pub

Been to the Archer Arms in Lewannick multiple times now, have never been disappointed by the service; bar staff and waitering staff are extremely polite and friendly. Pricing is very reasonable, and great value for money. Waitress, Molly, especially made the evening pleasant with her radiant smile and welcoming conversation.

Travelling home from Cornwall and took short drive off A30 to Archer Arms. We were welcomed by friendly landlord, staff and locals. Three of us enjoyed a very tasty rump steak, friend had chicken thighs in tarragon sauce. We were all really impressed by the quality and taste of the food which was very reasonably priced. Well worth the trip off the main road. Highly recommend.

Went for an evening meal with my wife. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent, hot and very good value. Went on a Monday when they have a £5 offer but the meals were very generous. We both had the steak and ale pie followed by lemon tart plus drinks and it came to about £22. Steak pie was very tasty and steak was 'melt in the mouth'. Would recommend and would visit again.
