The Central Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited today and was served by the lovely Emma, she truly is a credit to the team. She goes above and beyond and is a very bubbly chatty person. We had the most pleasant experience whilst having a few drinks here. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future!

There was a good selection on the menu. The food was great. The service was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely lively spot enjoyed myself. Staff where excellent !food was good and atmosphere was super.live music added to the experience.

Excellent Steak on the stone - delicious - Amy was a fantastic host Ribs were awesome perfectly cooked We will be back for definite

Ate here 3 times on our family break,all the food was amazing quality and value.

Great place, nice people. It's has a great selection of beers. The food was good but not really to my taste, but the kids loved it.

We’ve been visiting the Central for many years now and have always enjoyed our time here as a family. We called in for a couple of drinks on Halloween and decided to order the chicken burger for my daughter and starters for the wife and I as we weren’t hungry enough for a full meal. It disappoints me to say that the food served up was not good. The chicken burger was soaked in a spicy dressing which simply overpowered the dish and was inedible, The cheesy garlic bread and falafels were so bland we felt like we were chewing cardboard. St Austells should really reconsider their food suppliers because I believe this rubbish does not reflect the ability of your chefs! I will say that the staff we encountered on the night were fantastic and a real credit to themselves. We’ll continue to use the pub when in Newquay but only for drinks as there’s much better food on offer throughout the town.

The staff is very friendly and there was always Bear available. There is plenty of space to drink and (outside the weekend night) the music is not too loud.

Nice place and nice food, reasonable prices

We recommend the Mac n cheese bites and the chicken wings with Habanero sauce (only if you dare) (I’m Mexican can confirm it’s spicy)

My friend and I really liked it here. The food was excellent and the service was amazing. Staff were so friendly and welcoming

Party of 6 had the pleasure of eating here on Tuesday. We had booked a table and on entering were warmly welcomed and showed to our table. We were promptly asked for our drinks order, a very good wine was suggested and enjoyed by our group. Our food order was taken by a very informative staff member (sorry I didn’t take her name. However, all the staff we came across were very polite and helpful) We only ordered main course meals, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The fish and chips were delicious, not greasy at all. The fish, which was plentiful, was cooked perfectly. Greek Salad was fresh tasting with lots of Feta Cheese. Three Steaks plus Chicken Fajita were all very tasty, cooked and presented beautifully. Would certainly recommend to anyone who enjoys a warm welcome by very professional staff and great food.

They need to sack the DJ, 12 Oct 24. If you’re the DJ you need to be ashamed, might aswell have put heart radio on. Lazy DJ. Honestly it was terrible. I could say much more but won’t.

The food is great, I've never had a wait for a table and the staff are friendly, including the door staff. No child play area, dog friendly. A nice place to have a meal in Newquay.

What can I say ; great service and the staff were first class, food was superb, if you visit Newquay you have to go to this pub, you will not regret it. Top place.

What can I say; great service, excellent staff amazing food and great atmosphere, if you visit Newquay you have to go here.

Food was excellent staff very friendly and helpful makes a change to have table service with a lovely smile ☺ well done guys

Absolutely amazing service, food and atmosphere. Ordered the American wrap and fajitas with a sticky toffee pudding for dessert and couldn’t find any faults. Both waitresses Des and Tiff were very kind, and helpful!

Excellent quality service staff is definitely on top of there game

Lovely view and delicious food:) prices are on the higher side but I think the location makes up for it.

First time we had a steak served on a hot lava rock , which was pretty cool 😋

Staff friendly, neat & tidy, clean.Great atmosphere.

Great Staff, great atmosphere, thank you

One of my all time favorite pubs! Great selection of drinks and really good food. Perfect location to sit outside and watch the world go by or alternatively you can sit inside and watch the footie... Either way you'll have a great time.

My visit to Central Inn was a very good experience. Lunchtime, and even though there was an influx of customers, the staff were friendly and organised. Each customer was seen too in a prompt manner, but still with a smile. Inside, the building seems to go on forever, with I believe, an upstairs too for during peak season. Dogs are welcome and are catered for with water and treats to help yourself to. I would very much recommend a visit, whether for food or just a drink.

Great place for an afternoon stop ..best outdoor seating on a sunny day .the staff were very welcoming and helpful can't go wrong. The food did look amazing alas we did not stay long enough to sample it ,next visit we sure will.

Just wandered down the high St and found the Central. As my wife is celiac food can be an issue but not here. The staff are professional and fully aware of any requirements. The food was fantastic and well cooked, the Gluten free fish and chips..well we couldn't fault it. Staff were great so friendly you're a credit to the business.

Great food and gin served here and other spirits too. Seated inside or outside you should enjoy being here. Would come back again if in Newquay!

Great steaks and great service from Des and Holly!

It was ok for a drink. I won't be rushing back, though. The atmosphere was lacking.

Loved it nice food had a very good solo singer all.good

Very very dog friendly. Love this place xx

Popped in for lunch. Great service and the food was nice. Large portions

Had a pint in here a few times on this trip but had our evening meal there and was really nice food. Absolutely fabulous service from Tiff. Thank you

We had a brilliant time at Central. The staff were friendly and attentive and were very accommodating of our three year old son. The food was delicious, well cooked and came in good time even on a busy Saturday lunchtime.

Beautiful atmosphere,all tables nice and private,service was fantastic as was the food,fish and chips,fish was cooked perfectly and the meatballs and arribiata sauce was yummy,spicy but I loved it,would definitely visit again,also asked regarding any allergies which I have never been asked before so another plus for sure

It is a pub, I visited around lunch time, but didn't order any food, just a drink. I was there for little less than an hour and observed the several members of staff serving food and drinks to a good standard. the cleanliness of the facilities and the pool table side of the pub needed some attention (sticky floors and smelly toilets) in my opinion, but these are not a reason not to visit

When suffering low blood sugar and had no meds I was assisted by the amazing staff especially Amy, who made sure I was feeling better.

Friendly stop for breakfast, menu was a nice change from the other options, very fresh and reasonable, service good too.

Ok experience. Dirty toilets, slow bar service and outdated accommodation. But it's full of people.

My experience at this place took a terrible turn when the staff became extremely rude and hostile as they were closing for the night. I understand the need to close, but the way they handled it was completely unacceptable. One particular staff member was incredibly arrogant and disrespectful towards my brother. After enduring repeated rudeness, I confronted him, as his behavior was simply out of line. No customer should ever be treated in such a manner. Their approach to customer service needs serious improvement—treating people with hostility is never okay, no matter the circumstances.

The food here is exactly what you think it will be pub grub and decent for the money. The staff however are appalling 1 young gent walking around petting dogs whilst carrying food not to mention the obvious personal hygiene issues. I never comment on an individual but the smell of body odour when he took our plates was disgusting. I l9ve coming here for a drink but would never return for food after seeing what I saw

Gorgeous food and great service from Tiff. My greek feta salad was 100 times better than when we went to actual Greece earlier in the summer holidays. We will definitely be back next year x

We had travelled over to newquay and found ourselves 1 hour early for our booking. We asked if we were OK to eat at 5 instead of 6. The girls couldn't have been anymore accommodating. The food was good, we only ordered basic stuff and I'm no Gordon Ramsey mind. The live music outside is loud so if you want a quiet meal sit inside. It's a really friendly atmosphere, we've been here a couple of times for drinks and food and it's never let us down.

100% would recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing. We had the small plates, but each was cooked beautifully and the mains coming to other tables looked great too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location. Huge building with lots of seats and booths. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you for hosting us in the evening of Friday 23 August. Our group of Beach Rugby referees were very grateful and appreciative of your hospitality and generous sponsorship of our referees shirts. Excellent service, great food, keeping some very hungry refs very happy after the first day of the annual Beach Rugby tournament. Thank you so much again, for absolutely everything Benn, Amy and all the staff The Central Inn at Newquay 🍻😁

Really disappointed with our visit today, one member of staff in particular made us feel so uncomfortable she was extremely rude and looked as if she didn’t want to be there! A friendly welcoming face goes a long way in my opinion We also had to wait an hour for food with 3 children which wasn’t ideal I will say we couldn’t fault the food and thought it was lovely.

This is truly one of my favourite pubs in Newquay. Great food (Steak on the stones! So good!) and great service from a girl named Tiff, who was polite and very helpful as my date was late and helped me with the ordering of the food. Will absolutely come back, cannot complain Thank you Central

We frequent central and have never had a bad service or meal. It’s a lovey atmosphere always, and our lovely server Tiff made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back :)

Live locally and have come here loadd for food or just drinks, never lets us down. Great place to just people watch from the beer garden too

Fantastic meal, friendly enthusiastic staff. Definitely recommend

Nice pub, bar staff not over friendly.

Great food and vibrant place to eat with live music. Disabled look after and cared about also.

We recently met up with some friends visiting us for Lunch in The Central. They remarked how much very really enjoyed their food (as we did) and the wonderful service from all the friendly staff. This is why we have no worries about recommending the Central. They especially wanted to thank Benn the Manager for stopping by to make them so welcome.

Waited 120 minutes for food! Other diners got their food before us even though arriving after us! When our food order did come out it was wrong so had to wait another 15 mins! Waitress was very rude

Great place to grab a quick pint!

Excellent pub, great staff, great atmosphere, great food - plenty of seating and truly dog friendly with a dog station to help yourself to a bowl, water and treats. Online menus were excellent for deciphering what was suitable for allergies. We all finished our meals, full, happy and it wasn't over priced

Nice day food and service great thanks 😊

Quick service, good grub Thanks Lilian and Annai.

Nice Pub in the middle of Newquay

Superb food and a great clean place with stunning views outside.

Outside seating is a must on a hot day. Great choice of drinks. Located in town centre. Near the beach.

It looks great from the outside. Inside, it's a bit worse and it's not about the decor, but a lot of dust, sticky tables and mess in the toilet. The food is quite tasty, the staff is very nice.

It's a busy pub, with plenty of room to watch football, and loads of outside seating right in the heart of Newquay town

Visted a few times now but popped in for lunch. Daughter had Nachos, partner had a burger and I had a wrap. Daughter was impressed that nachos were spread out so the topping was evenly spread over all nachos, and what a topping, the guacamole and sour cream were just light and lovely tasting (can tell its all fresh ingredients and it does make a difference). Burger was beautiful, cooked to perfection again lovely hand made burgers and lovely fresh ingredients to match. The wrap was filled with chicken and crispy lettuce and again all fresh. Burger and wrap both came with fries (crispy and tasty) and we ordered an additional portion to go with the nachos (although you really didn't need to as the nachos are an ample portion size) £37 for the 3 of us. Staff lovely and friendly and organised! Will keep returning everytime we have the chance too. It never disappoints us.

Great food, excellent service from both Hollie and Lilian!

Had drinks here outside then food inside later... no complaints.. the staff who served us were great and the redefine vegan burger was perfect. The entertainment was fun.. 'Mr House' who managed to sing Erasure's A Little Respect perfectly. ( Very difficult song lol)

Great food and great service. Thank You Hollie and Lilian.

Great place great staff good food lots of tv for sport

Went 2 evenings in a row, really good atmosphere and friendly staff

Had a meal with family. Had to ask to be served drinks and order food. Food was OK. Standard for a pub. Gents toilets were disgusting. Urine on toilet seats and over the floor. Footprints left on floor when walking out of the toilets. Ladies toilets were a bit better but cleanliness could be improved. The Central really need to up their game to ensure clean and hygienic toilets. My 23 year old son was asked for his ID for proof of age 4 times (each time his drink was brought to the table / ordered at the table). I understand the necessity for proof of age, but a joined up approach to determine age has been proven, would be useful.

Central Inn offered a great viewing experience of the Euro 24 tournament. Great Atmosphere, no queues at the bar , good food . Attended several matches and enjoyed the whole tournament. Thanks to Millie , Jake and Hollie 😊

We called in for a drink and a look at the menu as we was looking for something to eat. Well the staff was really rude i was waiting at the bar to get served and all the did was just look at me as if i should not of been in there. Then the girl just shouted up come down this end of the bar if you want serving. I just could not believe how rude that was. We just had the drinks and went without ordering food. 4 of as as well. Shame as it does look a nice pub. So can not tell you what the food is like. They need to train the staff or lose more customers.

After a pleasant walk around Newquay, we wanted somewhere nice to have dinner. We decided to try the Central Inn which had good reviews on Tripadvisor. They weren't wrong! We were 4 adults and a 3 year old and the Central Inn did us proud. The food was lovely, the staff were pleasant and helpful, and the Inn had a good atmosphere.

Great place with fantastic views, come every year

Had chicken wrap today and I wasn’t happy with it as the was very little chicken more lettuce with one small piece of chicken won’t be back

Great service. We went 2 days in the row and been served by Jake who was really friendly with a quick service. During england match been served by Millie and Hollie who have been extremely pleaseant during this busy time

Great service from the bar staff, Millie, Jake and Hollie. Even during an extremely busy period watching the England Semi finals they were on top of things at the bar and didn't have to wait for service. They remembered my order when I returned and were very friendly. Thank you!

Nice pub food with indoor and outdoor seating. Small plates were very nice

really great and fast service ! the food was also very good so definitely would come again

Millie was great. Very welcoming and lovelt service :)

Loved our meal here, brilliant service and great food. We loved the burgers - especially recommend the katsu chicken burger. Big thanks to Millie!!

Good food, staff and music, we've been many times and would throughly recommend a visit, ideally placed in town with a vast array of drink options.

Stayed in Newquay for week, visited central 2 evenings for food and pub quiz with family good atmosphere, nice food and the service great.

Great atmosphere, very tasty food and lovely friendly, welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

Very nice pub food, friendly staff and overall a nice evening

Great place to watch the world drift by

Lovely place to eat with the family,including the doggies . We were well looked after ,food was really good and doggies were bought some treats too . Thanks again for looking after us .

Great service at the bar during a busy time with England in the Euros, dream relay team behind bar taking orders, getting drinks, taking payment. Understood the need to streamline their service, brilliant off the cuff thinking.

Amazing food, lovely staff, Lindsay was excellent, very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend

Stopped for a quick drink and snack here, fab place to sit and people watch, staff were lovely and certainly a good atmosphere in the sunshine

Great food, brilliant service and great atmosphere! Will definitely be back

Legendary staff, Amy and Lauren were lovely and hospitable amazing food and drink overall an amazing place to bring your family or a date 10/10 I will be returning

Staff friendly, Food was OK. Food in Newquay in general food was not good, with many of the PH's using the same menu. We would use again.

Had to ask where menu's where that was the only fault. Staff very helpful and food was good 👍

Just what it says on the tin, central, popular location

Delicious meals lovely size portions. Good priced drinks. If I ever went back to Newquay would definitely eat here again in this place.

Loved it nice atmosphere, didn't have any food to comment on

Great place to sit outside and people watch.

Food was okay... not particularly any thought gone into it and reminiscent to wetherspoons. The servers are soooo kind and great to speak with. Very helpful and got to us quickly. My Espresso Martini wasn't strong enough. Definitely watered down by either not strong enough coffee or hot espresso poured too quickly over the ice. The tables were very sticky and by nightfall this place must be a very busy club as the floors and tables were quite dirty. The staff were definitely a highlight to the evening and we're very helpful with children's food choice and there were highchairs available.
