The Commercial in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My family and I had a delicious meal at The Commercial, the Dressed Cornish Crab was to die for! Friendly locals and staff, cannot fault this establishment. We will be coming back next year, thank you.

I phoned at roundabout 10:30 this morning to ask if they did Sunday lunches on an evening I was told yes but when I got there it was just the main menu very disappointed

Took a dinner at St. Just. Chosen for The Commercial. Friendly atmosphere. Starter of various types of fish and main course sole fish with risotto. Good taste. Dessert was not very special.

Fish & chips-fish ok, chips tasted like they had been re-fried. Fish pie-too much potato & bland. Staff very nice & service quick.

A beautiful day so we sat in the garden it is absolutely beautiful what a hidden gem. The food was fantastic and very good size portions too.

Great garden, friendly staff and right in the middle of town. Local produce is well cooked and the beer is great. We will return

The garden of this establishment is really lovely and the perfect surroundings for lunch. The menu is extensive and the service is very good. The light bites were more than enough for a meal with my wife keeping half of her chicken and bacon baguette for later. The food is excellent and I recommend the crab and prawn salad from the light bite menu. A substantial meal served with half a hot baguette. We will be going back whilst we are on holiday.

Food was very nice. Staff were polite, though it was a bit disheartening to go past a group of them on the way out and for not one to acknowledge us saying thank you/good night. We were literally the last people in. Also, having worked in a pub kitchen before, hearing the kitchen grumble about someone ordering a sundae right at the end of service really made me feel awkward, as I know it's a pain, but if it's that awful, take it off the menu! All in all, a very good meal and would definitely recommend. Price was excellent and portions generous!

Slightly strange place but nice food and good service. I suppose the building itself is a bit dated. As in pretty 80s. But the food was nice. The service was good. Had a nice evening. Thank you.

We visited here whilst walking the Coast Path. We were unsure of where to go as lots of reviews were mixed for most places in St Just. We decided on the Commercial, and were so glad we did! The service was great. It quickly filled up with people despite being a Tuesday night. We ordered fish and chips - portion size was good, they were hot, fish was fresh and nothing was greasy. We’d definitely recommend this place for dinner!

We booked a stay at The Commercial as part of our anniversary celebrations. Being in the centre of St Just, we expected a little bit of noise from the road but not inside the hotel all through the night. Long after the bar closed, there was shouting and doors banging which meant for a disturbed night. The bed was pretty uncomfortable and (at 6ft 5) the bars at the end made it impossible to stretch out. When the noise of a hoover started at 7am on a Sunday morning, it was a stretch too far and we wouldn't recommend people stay if they want a relaxing break. Saying that, while we didn't eat an evening meal in the hotel the food looked fab, and the full English breakfast was good. The staff, as I said in the title, were very pleasant, welcoming and helpful.

We have stayed at the Commercial Hotel several times and always had a great time. Michelle make you feel like one of the family rather than a guest. The service is second to none. We own a restaurant ourselves and are frequently 'underwhelmed' on the rare occasions we manage to go out - but we can cheerfully 'announce' that the food is very good and recommend the Sunday Lunch. The breakfasts are cooked perfectly to order with good ingredients and presented beautifully by well trained staff.This hotel is the centre of the village and we can see why its very busy with very friendly locals. In fact we didn't go any where else as we were encouraged to stay and take part in the 'Feast' and we are glad we did - had a great time... and will be back !

Very friendly helpful staff, they accommodated us for food on what was a very busy night for them. It would’ve been easy to say they couldn’t help but they went out of their way to find us a table. The food was excellent, plentiful and very a reasonable price, couldn’t fault it at all. Great atmosphere in the pub as well. We went on recommendation from our B&B hosts so local knowledge is king!

good food and friendly service in a large and open pub/hotel. The atrium area was very pleasant and both pub and restaurant are clealry popular with locals and travellers alike

We ate here 3 times in 4 days. I have dietary issues and the chef went out of the way to ensure I could enjoy a meal safely. Great customer care and good food. All the staff were helpful and attentive.

Visited the commercial during a trip to Cornwall in early September. We were lucky enough to have good weather on the day and sat outside in the fantastic garden area for a few hours. The staff here are brilliantly friendly and had a lovely chat every time I went the bar. The food was also fantastic, we went for the fish and chips. It was served quickly and was very tasty. This is a little gem of a pub, definitely give it a visit if you're in the area

So sad we missed the roast dinners because they looked so good.We sat in the beer garden, it was super sunny, the beer & cider was lush, service was good. Seemed like a good mix of people age wise. Would recommend for a chilled one.

Came to St Just & about the only place that could fit us in for dinner that night. Not a huge menu but all good options. Well cooked & served by great team led by Danielle. Lots of dinner envy looking at other tables we will definitely return

Our 11th visit to St Just so getting to know the town well. Had four meals here during a seven day stay in the town. They are a good example of Covid awareand put dome orher establishments nearby at shame. Good service, good food and probably the best pub garden in West Cornwall. Thankyou for making our stay in St Just so good!

We ate here on Wednesday 21 July 2021 whilst looking for somewhere relatively local to Sennen Cove at last minute.When we first walked in, we were slightly apprehensive. The room to the right-hand side as you walk in gives an institutional feel and resembles a social club in our eyes. Front of house greeted us and we asked if there was any availability for dinner. Once this was checked, we were shown to our table. The dining area has a slightly odd feel to it, but it was not an unpleasant atmosphere. The menu did not inspire confidence after getting a generally impression of the restaurant. We ordered chicken and lasagne options, with drinks also.Quite simply, the food is average at best, but it came out swiftly enough. The service from the young adults working here was superb. This was the best service we had during an entire mini break in Cornwall from 19-23 July 2021. We were looked after by multiple individuals who asked if we wanted drinks, a dessert menu and were generally all-around friendly and efficient. When not dealing with customers, they were cleaning down tables and keeping busy. Generous three for food and value for money associated with that, but five for service. Overall, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience.

Did not have our booking despite having an email confirmation. Unfriendly bar staff, average menu, no crab dishes available , strange atmosphere. Disappointing, will not be returning.

Outdoor meal with dogWe enjoyed sitting outside in the lovely courtyard, a very relaxed , friendly environment.Staff were attentive, brought our dog some water.My husband had a burger with pulled brisket which he found tasty to begin with but found the beef patty bkand and watery as though it had been frozen .I had the tagliatelle with crab which unfortunately was rather bland

We ate twice in the conservatory area and the food was excellent. Service was swift and polite. The high light for me was the steak and ale pie, the best pie I can ever remember eating. Flaky pastry and really lean meat. Compliments to the chef. :)

Great good, fish pie was the best we’d ever tasted, sticky toffee pudding to die for. Great service from some very hard working, young , friendly staff. Thank you

We walked in and asked to see the menu, then booked a table for the same night. The six of us agreed that the food was good and the chocolate tart with clotted cream and Raspberry sorbet was delicious. The young staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming and the dining room was very pleasant, a very enjoyable evening all round.

The sign outside said “no walk-ins”, but we tried anyway. Turns out it wasn’t a problem - and we were happily and quickly seated in the lovely garden, in dappled shade, with menus. Service was excellent. We ordered gluten free fish & chips - which was OK, except for the minimal size of the fillet of fish. Small, thin - and completely lost in the batter.Just about a “very good” experience …

We booked a table for 6pm and initially the service was good with prompt attendance to take a drinks and then food order. The food was good, mains of fish and chips and crab linguine, we were then waiting a while for the table to be cleared. We requested the desert menu and intended to order more drinks. There was then a brief interruption with the fire alarm but that wasn’t long or a problem. What then became irritating was a total lack of service. We waited at least 10 minutes with numerous waiting staff passing by to serve other people. We could understand if there was a priority to get hot food out but for no one to even acknowledge that we were waiting with no drinks was very poor. After 15-20 minutes we requested the bill, paid and left. We did comment to the waitress that the service was poor and her response was to blame the fire alarm. The impression we had was that they wanted the table and so didn’t want us to order anything else. We wouldn’t eat here again.

We have caled in numerous times during the week we have been visiting St Just and just had drinks but booked a meal for Friday the last evening of our holiday. The beer garden is a sun trap and so pleasant to sit in with deck chairs and lovely plants and surroundings. All Covid measures adhered to with track and trace and wearing of masks. We ordered a fish bait starter which was tasty but the best bit was our individually baked steak and ale pie. The portion was huge and I had mash whilst my hubby had chips both equally as good as each other. The steak in the pie was tender and the pastry was divine wish we lived closer but will definitely visit again just for this if in the area. Staff all pleasant and polite....a great little gem for St Just.

A couple of pints in the newly renovated garden. It was lovely and the service was great. Had lunch the previous day which was also good.

Went to book got told was busy after 8 fine I say then said that’s ok what time can I come il be about an hour, such an attitude towards the customer ended up with me saying don’t bother, I’m a local and will now not recommend anyone to go here, think who you talk too, as I could have been any one

Best crab sandwich I’ve ever had. Service was lovely and beer garden was very nice. I would strongly recommend the Commercial!

I'd booked a table earlier in the day as the noticeboard outside the hotel advised. Having donned our masks and sanitized our hands we made our way to the bar where we were met by a friendly staff member who showed us to our table in their dining room. A sterile looking room at the front overlooking the road. Having been given the menus the waitress disappeared back to the cozy looking busy bar at the back. I don't blame her as that's where the atmosphere was to be found. Anyway she returned took our orders. We both went for the curry special. Curry and a pint £9.95 each. I chose the beef, Jude chose the Chicken tikka washed down with a pint of Doombar. When the food arrived it looked good, nicely presented with a naan bread on the side. My beef curry was hot and had some spice to it, which was fine but the meat cubes were a little tough, maybe needing to be left in the sauce longer whilst cooking to take on the flavour and to break up a bit. Judes chicken tikka looked better, the meat being more tender. Apart from that the dishes looked identical - the sauce tasting the same. But as it was the special and at £9.95 we overlooked that and we both enjoyed the meals. We would return and probably have the same again. But having finished the meal we paid and headed to the pub across the street.

We were prepared to take current circumstances into consideration, however, this was not good, the waiting staff were friendly, but the service was very slow even though not busy - the food was poor, shall not return.

We visited The Commercial whilst on holiday in the area. We visit every time we’re in St Just. The food, as always, was fresh, delicious and plentiful! I had the fish and chips which were so fresh and home made chips too! My son had the burger which looked incredible, again all homemade, and my husband had the lamb shank which he said was delicious too!We had a lovely evening and the staff were great too! See you again next year!

The dining room (basic) is shared with the reception desk which is not ideal from a C19 perspective. They do have a conservatory area in which you can eat but this can be crowded. The food though wad very good with reasonable choice on the menu and everything (including wine) was reasonably priced. Most staff were efficient and friendly (but sadly with the exception of 1 co-manager - NOT Damon who was excellent!) This review could have been a '4 '*(St Just is an excellent area to explore from & The Commercial is the best hotel in town), however i also hovered over '2'due to their lack of attention to C19 safety measures on 1 particular occasion plus 'that member of staff'... In balance a '3'.

We ate ate the Commercial twice during our time in Cornwall and both times it was excellent. Dog friendly in the bright and spacious conservatory, staff very friendly and attentive.

I stayed at the Commercial hotel for 3 nights with my sister, this Inn/Hotel is extremely well run, very clean , and very accommodating, the staff work really hard in these very difficult times, and the Cornish Breakfast is superb.This Family run hotel and Michelle the owner/landlady made us very welcome,I would not hesitate to Recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in the area, and the town of St Just is incredibly Charming and interesting, with routes to many other beautiful places in Cornwall, Thank you Commercial ,

This being the second review I have put on TP i have to say i was disappointed. The place looked clean and friendly staff. I had the seafood salad, being a fish eater I was looking forward to my local catch. I have to say the seafood lacked taste, infact it was bland. My wife chicken pie was something you might buy in Iceland. I have to say I've never had their food but I suspect it must be the same. I have travelled all around Spain and have eaten lots of seafood which all of it comes from the British Islands, so to be served a bland meal is not acceptable. I mentioned it to the lady I paid and she was disi

We booked as our B and B owners told us they normally send their guests here.. very disappointing.. hubby had the seafood salad.. I've seen more seafood in my local swimming pool.. very expensive for a miniscule piece of salmon, some dried up old whitebait and some prawns that looked like they had been tipped out of an Iceland bag... My chicken and bacon pie was cheaply made, the mash was frozen and the veg were hilarious.. honestly people, do not waste your money. We had one drink each and the bill was nearly 40 quid.. the staff were indifferent when we told them we were disappointed..All I can really say is don't eat here.. I watched the other meals come out and they all looked like the same poor quality we had just eaten. Tired from walking around Lands End all day and so really couldn't give this review my all.. we ate.. that's about as good as it got.

Polite staff and friendly and helpful and amazing staff and fantastic and fabourlous fro. The roasts are ace fro. From Neil

Food was good service was great. Small menu but sides available on request we asked for extra portion of chips and some gravy this was not a problem. Nice area at the back for having a drink outside as well

I am surprised to see the good reviews as I found this food very average. I was very disappointed by the obvious frozen-reheatedness of the food. The starter had a bit of salad with it and there were dark green slimy bits of past it lettuce/rocket/spinach in it, which I pointed out, then the main came which also had salad, and lo and behold loads more past it leaves, utterly foul and surprising to me as I'd already pointed it out. Call me fussy but that is not a high standard of food hygiene or deliciousness. Nah, not good, and the fish pie was very heavy and not to my taste at all. Thought it was a bit like a Wetherspoons actually (from what I've heard!).

We can’t recommend this place enough!! Despite being extremely busy, our waiter who could be and if not should be bar manager Damon was so attentive and friendly and whilst they were really busy during COVID 19 and trying to make the best of things, he was smily and happy at all times! Food fab all 6 of us fed and watered! we’d recommend for sure!!

We stopped here for an early evening meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Service was very good and staff were friendly. The food was excellent value and we were really happy that we had chosen The Commercial.

Nice place for dinner and drinks good value Monday - Wednesday.Gets busy so book.Nice restaurant area and pub area has a big TV playing the sports.

Ate on our last night of B&B, charcuterie starter good but small, ages wait for mains, arrived warm at best. Staff lovely and friendly. More hands on deck needed but doing a good job, generally. B&B breakfast top drawer.

We arrived on Wednesday 5th August looking for somewhere to eat. The Commercial was a real find. We were seated in a bright, modern conservatory and I ordered Fish Pie and my partner,Cajun Chicken. We both said the meals were outstandingly good and incredibly good value....fabulous food and great service.

We have been enjoying the food and friendly atmosphere of the Commercial for a good number of years now on our stay in St Just. They have pulled out the stops this year and are working very hard to keep us safe whilst enjoying the food and drink on offer. Well done to you all and thank you welcoming us back.

Don’t be fooled by the outside. An absolute gem. Garden and patio lovely, real sun trap. staff great. Food fine. 5star.

We had our wedding reception at the commercial Inn and we had a 3 course meal agreed with the chef. The meal was amazing prepared and delicious! All our guests loved it and we can't recommend their food enough. All the best, Chands.

The chef here is fantastic. I stayed for just under a week and had quite a few things on the menu all cooked beautifully

We was told to go to the commercial by a couple of local people, we are glad we did because the food was wonderful the service was great staff were friendly, helpful and polite. Would go back again

Cold but dry Winters morning in St Just.......it was Sunday so nothing was open for lunch except The Commercial Hotel....oh dear shall we try their lunch? Well we did and what a Gem it turned out to be! Our roast beef and roast pork with really well cooked vegetables was outstandingly well presented.The sweet selection was vast...we had apple crumble and cream....superb!.We look forward to eating there again.

We’ve been to The Commercial a few times now whilst on holiday in St Just. We’ve never been disappointed. Fantastic service with lovely staff and gorgeous food! Would absolutely recommend if you are in the area. Looks lovely from the outside but it’s even better inside! Beautiful conservatory and lovely bar area too!Reasonable prices, family friendly, lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to return!! Thank you all for another wonderful meal!

My friend and I just love fresh crab sandwiches when we're in Cornwall but the quality and price can vary wildly. Our favourite eatery for said crab sandwiches, which shall remain nameless, has recently changed hands and the new owners are now charging £16.00 for a crab sandwich and side salad. Granted it was nice but £16.00 was just too steep for us. So, we have been searching for somewhere else to fulfil our insatiable appetite for our crab sandwiches... and we've finally found it! The restaurant of The Commerical Inn in St Just came up trumps. A delicious crab and lime mayonnaise sandwich with side salad and all for £9.50. Now that's what I call value for money! We ate in the lovely conservatory though there are other places to eat within this lovely hotel including ouside seating but, as it was pouring with rain, we decided inside was the dryer option. The waiter was really helpful and pleasant and service was quite quick. We also ordered a side of chips between us and these were lovely and obviously fresh and home-made. We had a look at the rest of the menu for another occasion and I fancied the steak and ale pie but I have an acute dislike of onions. As we were leaving the chef was in the bar, so I took the opportunity to ask him if the steak and ale pie was very oniony. He said he had a batch of the filling currently cooking on the stove and kindly fetched me a small dish to sample. It was delicious and not too oniony for my taste. We fully intended to return that evening for an evening meal but torrential rain put us off leaving our caravan, but we will definitely return here again when on holiday next year.

Really great homemade food.They have a classic bar with a pool table and then a conservatory which is a little old fashioned. However once you see past the decor of the conservatory the food is amazing and has that home cooked feel. So much so we visited twice. They were also very helpful with allergies.

Fantastic salt n pepper squid and sticky toffee pud! Beautifully presented. Went for lunch next day as well and great grilled goats cheese with walnut and apple salad. Highly recommended. Customer on next table commented 'best curry ever had'.

A nice menu with some interesting dishes, easily providing us with options that appealed.Nice friendly staff, quick and attentive service,We will visit again.

Have been coming here for over 20 years for Sunday lunch with my family. Have happily given five star reviews before. The Sunday roast is usually awesome and excellent value for £8.50. In many ways it is a perfect venue with a public bar and , pool table, function room and smaller side room for additional eating.Last time we came was 4 months ago and it was fab. Today the general feeling from all of us was that things had let slip. Things didn’t get off to a good start: we had to send some cutlery back because it had food on it. The young lady who served us kept forgetting to bring things we had asked for. We had to ask for our drinks twice and we ended up going up to the counter for the condiments which we had requested. Minor points perhaps but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect your horseradish sauce with the beef. We chose to wait but risked the food going cold.With respect to the food, the Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and gravy were all great as usual. I felt the vegetable and meat portions were smaller and the beef was over cooked.This could have just been a blip: I gather there was a festival in St Just the previous day and one of the staff was as they described it was “hanging”.If I were to offer a constructive observation it would be this; the Commercial always benefitted from the presence of the old lady who played the “mine host” role well. She circulated amongst the customers checking that everything was alright. That way any niggles were addressed early and corrected. On the occasion we visited it didn’t feel like anyone was in charge. The staff didn’t feel on it.I can see that the manager reads the reviews and I hope he/she understands that these comments have been as objective as possible.

Had a lunch at the Commercial in St Just, the food was good and the service was polite and speedy. What stands out is the amazing outdoor space at the back of the hotel, full of hanging baskets and beds of flowers, really beautiful!

Very disappointing - although I’ve been coming down to Cornwall for over fifty years, I’ve never eaten at the Commercial before. Rather than cooking Sunday lunch, we decided to try Sunday lunch at the Commercial. Although the vegetables had been cooked fresh, the swede was watery, the roast potatoes weren’t crispy and we were presented with three tiny slices of beef and watery gravy. All in all, it all felt as though not a lot of effort had been put into preparing the meal.

I dined with my sister and a couple who were friends of hers on Saturday 22nd June. We all enjoyed what we had with my Homemade Steak Pie (which came with chips)especially good as it was so light, with succulent meat and nice gravy filling rather than being dry as can so often be the case elsewhere. The Fish and Chips and Hake Risotto were also well received by our table. Sweets were no less satisfying , these including Eton Mess and Lemon & Vanilla Cheesecake. Service was friendly and prompt in the bar area where we chose to sit although there is also an internal well-lit restaurant at the back. There is a totally separate drinking room so we were not aware of any "noises off" from those just there to imbibe alcohol.

My partner and I stopped by on a whim and found the best steak and ale pie we'd ever had. Very flavourful home style food with great ingredients. Nice atmosphere if you sit in the front reception room. Nice staff too.

We arrived without a reservation at the restaurant which was very full, but the staff managed to find us a seat in the bar. We ordered a sunday lunch at the bar and the food arrived in an acceptable amount of time. The food was freshly prepared and was very tasty. The portions were quite large.

Had friends over for a meal last Friday. Barman and waitress really good and nice restaurant. Food excellent and very much appreciated; I go to a lot of places and become fed up with indifferent staff and crap food ! Thank you very much; would recommend to anyone.

I shall not write a nasty review for somewhere I have not been fortunate enough to eat.

St Just may not be the most obvious place to visit but it's worth it just to experience the food at 'The Commercial' and also visit nearby Cape Cornwall, which is very beautiful. My wife had the 'Catch of the Day' (Haddock) with fresh vegetables. I had a crispy chicken curry. Both meals were absolutely delicious and reasonably priced.

We where early arriving to get key to holiday cottage so popped in for lunch. Food was ok nothing special Staff where polite and service quick

We booked and arrived at 12.30, as asked because they were serving sunday lunch to all the Panto players.

Had a meal here food wasn't very nice had the curry rice was very bland and watery also got the order wrong a couple of times and had to ask where drinks was we was seated out the way in an almost empty room when there was another room nearby with guests eating we figured maybe that was for guests at the hotel?

Decent value and good portions of quality meals. Loved the crab linguine. Comfortable and good service. Will return!

We have eaten here several times in the past, this time exceeded our expectations.

We were very impressed with the standard of the food. My gammon steak came with a generous portion of tasty chips: burger and chips was very good, as well.

Ate here with friends. Had the scallops to start followed by the Pie. very tasty and good service. nice beer too

My husband and myself actually liked the look of the other two pubs in the square in St Just better, but on internal inspection opted for the Commercial as they have a lovely airy dining room to the rear. We shared the prawns and scallops starter, the scallops were excellent, my husband said the best he'd ever eaten. Husband had the enormous steak and ale pie and was very happy and ate the lot, I had a burger, which was fresh and hand made. Overall the food was very good pub food but the service was a bit poor mainly as the servers were very young and didn't seem to have anyone with more experience guiding them. Cost was just under £40 including a large glass of wine for me so about right for the food we had. Would go back.

We book a couple of hours in advance and were shown to the light airy conservatory dining room. Although just across the square from the Kings Arms, the ambience is quite different because of the glass roofed dining room. The food was not quite as good as the Kings Arms. I had quite a bland risotto dish and the desserts are not as impressive but the food is good all the same.

We ate here in the large light conservatory for three evenings during our week in St Just. There are a number of young waiters who worked hard and were welcoming. We tried the pies, fish in batter and fish pie which were all excellent.

Visited whilst staying in St Just and we weren’t disappointed service was excellent and the food very tasty scallops were delicious followed by a lovely piece of Hake crispy skin and soft and flakey to eat. Couldn’t manage a sweet but coffees were good thanks very much .

Whilst staying in st. just thought we try it was happy with service and quality of food. The pies are gigantic could serve 2 tbh lovely crispy but also soft pastry. The chicken and chorizo pie was delightful as was my daughters steak and ale pie. When served was thinking maybe gravy on side would have been nice, until we cut into them and the delicious filling spilled out. Hubby had the gammon which also was a good size. 3 delicious meals washed down with a bottle of Rose what more could top off a great day in sunny St just

Called in a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch ( advisable to book ) such a nice change to have more of a choice than a roast, I had the beef lasagne with fresh crusty bread, really enjoyed it washed down with a few pints of Doom bar, sandwiches were available if I just wanted a quick snack. Were back again this week.

We went for dinner on Sunday night the food was okay, I had the chicken and chorizo pie what was okay needs more seasoning but edible , my partner had the special hake what was served skin side down in the risotto what was strange and very young staff running around and nobody really in charge

Over all the years that we have been coming down with our friends for another Minack performance, St Just has been rising from the 'loss' of the mining industry, and the Commercial has been a leading light in the town. The restaurant is always a good place to head for, with good menu, plus specials board that offers Cornwall 'on a plate'. Lovely staff & an atmosphere to enjoy the meal. Another excellent meal, we look forward to the next time - thank you.

Ottima cena,piatti curati e abbondanti, molto buona la carne e i contorni di verdure,dessert degni di una pasticceria, servizio eccellente.

My partner and I went for an evening meal here this week. Really impressed. For starter my partner had white bait and I chose the bbq ribs- wasn’t quite expecting 9 ribs for a starter!! Glad I had a hungry assistant to help me polish them off!! For mains he ordered the steak and Ale pie.... pie was fabulous, the mash and veg also tasty and well seasoned but the mash over worked and a bit glupy and the whole dish had the appearance of a school dinner which let it down aesthetically. I had the Cajun chicken burger with lime mayo, coleslaw and chips, chicken well spiced and beautifully moist and complimented beautifully by the lime mayo.

I had a lovely meal at The Commercial Pub in St Just. They have two dining rooms, one at the reception are where we sat and a huge atrium lounge little further down the hallway. dogs were welcome too. I had a brilliant Beef pie which was encased in the most beautiful pastry. Made on the premises I was told. Well congrats to whoever makes them.

Casi por casualidad elegimos este restaurante para probar el marisco de cape Cornwall. La experiencia fue magnífica, entrada con vieiras y langostinos, fish cake de cangrejo, y de segundo langosta con ensalada de piña. El postre una tarta de queso con crema típica de Cornwall. Todo estupendo, con buen servicio y a precio razonable. Lastima no haber podido volver. Lo recomendamos sin duda.

After walking around trying to find a dog friendly place to eat this was our last chance. The place doesn't look much from the outside and the dining room we ate in was more like a cafe. However the service we received was exceptional and the food was presented and cooked to perfection.

My wife and I had breakfast here. We both ordered the Traditional Cornish Breakfast which was a standard Full English with a miniscule piece of hogs pudding in place of the usual black pudding. The portion was disappointing albeit tasty. The young man who took the orders looked rather unkempt but efficient enough.

Four of us visiting again, 13 years or so holidaying in West Cornwall and the Commercial is always one of our eat out nights. Crab starter for me, worth the price and a Hake main, I couldn’t think of a better main. The boys had home made chicken nuggets and Gammon and chips all polished off, Spanish chicken for Mrs Young and all that’s left was a super pint of Atlantic, well actually 2. Good service, location and prices very fair.

We turned up late on a Friday night (9 pm) after returning from the Isles of Scilly when other establishments refused us a table as they were finishing serving. Staff here had no hesitation in saying we could get something to eat. The menu was fine and we found something to suit us. The young waitress took our order, but came back two minutes later as she'd forgotten what we ordered. The food was good and service adequate. A small but welcome touch was that the sachets of sauce, etc. came with a pair of scissors - saved all that tearing with your teeth, then spraying the sauce all over! Why can't other restaurants do something as simple as this? As it was so late we were the only diners in the small to the right just inside the front door, so obviously little atmosphere, but we were grateful that they fed us!

We stopped off at The Commercial for lunch whilst visiting St Just and the Lands End peninsula. The menu looked like it offered a good range of food for all our tastes. The restaurant was a great find, the staff and customers really friendly. The seating in the beer garden was great in the sun and the food fantastic. The lobster the best I have eaten, the steak and the fish pie amazing. A lovely relaxing place to visit with fantastic food.

Food and table service good. Modernised dining room light and airy, set in an old inn in delightful St Just. Menu small but thoughtful. Food and wine moderately priced - about £23 each for starter, main, coffee, excluding wine.

Dining room, a basic bar at the back and a very pretty garden. Food is good and filling. Friends have stayed there and reported it as good too.

Staying in area so trying local hotels and inns for food had breakfast and an evening meal here start with breakfast paid £8.95 was good qaulity which Inc good coffee 1 sausage 2 bits of bacon toms and some mushrooms and 2 pieces of toast not a Harty breakfast but was just right for me was hungry by lunchtime though the evening meal was much the same had local catch of the day (fish & chips)was fantastic light batter lovely fish but if this was in my local chippy it would be a mini fish and chips but paid £11.00 each for this which is going rate around here but one bonus here they have a lovely beer garden bit of a walk from bar but well worth it if sun out came here few times just because of beer garden

This hotel has a restaurant as opposed to a few table in a bar. The menu is quite varied and the food very good I particularly enjoyed the pasta dish with crab.

Hotel and restaurant in the centre of St Just.

We had a larger party eating here but our experience was outstanding. The food was amazing and the pretty outside space was an unexpected surprise. When I’m in the area again I will especially pay a visit here. It was recommended by my sister who had been there the previous month.

We booked for dinner on a warm summer evening, the hotel was busy but the staff were friendly at all times. Food was good, particularly the risotto from the specials menu. Our waitress, Emily, was excellent; very friendly and composed.

We went here twice during a week's family holiday in Cornwall. We enjoyed our first meal so much that we booked to go back. The pub is frequented by locals, meaning it has a genuine atmosphere and wasn't just full of holiday-makers from out of town. The staff were very friendly, particularly the barman who went out of his way to help us out on more than one occasion.

We were staying at The Wellington but couldn't eat there as they were renewing their kitchen so came across to The Commercial. We had a lovely meal here, we both had steak and ale pie and it was the best I have tasted. The pastry was light and crispy and the pie was full of tender steak. There were only a few people eating so not much atmosphere but worth going for the pie!
