The Cornishman in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had no food just a drink, staff seemed very friendly and welcoming

What a great pub. You wouldn't think it was a village pub or out of the way of Newquay. But it is a vibrant, busy pub. It has sport on the TV, a quiz sitting the week. The food on the menu is good. I was surprised from the moment I walked in, how good it was. It is a 5 minute walk downhill from the Park Dean Holiday Park. It really is worth a visit.

What an excellent find! Warm welcome by all the staff, loads of local cask ales, great freshly made food and it was no issues getting a table. Super atmosphere with areas for everyone, sport TV, outside sitting.

Dog friendly pub with great staff and excellent food. We had the 'Cornishman Burger'- the picture doesn't do the double Wagu burger and giant onion rings justice. Decent Ale at £4.50 a pint. Highly recommend 😃🐕🍔

Really nice local friendly pub . Often come here with work . Always friendly staff .

Fantastic food, we had the fish and chips, scampi, and a bacon cheese burger. All were cooked to perfection.

Rather soulless and the food was very basic.

Called in for a quick lunch and drink we were amazed at the quality of the food it was great with generous portions, we had a warm friendly welcome .. brilliant 👌 and it's dog friendly 👍

What a difference new owners have invested in the establishment happy smiling friendly staff plenty of them. Lots of superbly positioned large screen TV,s. An excellent array of beers and lagers including Stella Artois. All round great improvement will be back. Well done the Cornishman

Great bar good food reasonably priced,was there for a beer festival, was a very happy place, both bars were good ,live DJ, SHE was brilliant, need more like her around Newquay

We had a great night at the Cornishman, enjoying a great meal, some local beers and entertainment from the Old Time Sailors.

Excellent food both Sunday lunch on the 8th sept and tonight we had their burgers. If we don’t get chance to go again before heading home will definitely be back at Easter. Great pub fab food and lovely staff. Dog friendly too which is great for us. Love it here. Couldn’t ask for more.

Nicely refurbished and several large screen tvs showing sports. No chance of watching football unless you book a table for dining. Plenty of outside seating. Usual decent ales and food served but recommend booking. Dog friendly. Pleasant bar staff.

Beautiful friendly pub, they made us so welcome at the Cornishman , the staff were so friendly and helpful very doggie friendly we went in with our two large dogs Akitas Pixie and Dixie , the food is marvellous and so fresh . It’s the welcome you received from the staff so a big thank you to you all love from Michelle Alan and certainly Pixie & Dixie THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Awesome pub... Always end up here

First time coming here while we are on holiday have to say the food was delightful an light we had sourdough pizza with nachos with all the trimming an a kids nuggets an chips have to say it so so delicious an tasty will defo be back service was great also food was out within 10 mins from us ordering!! Two happy parents an one happy child thanks again!! 😊

Awesome pub with great beers and awesome food.

Great pub great service friendly staff, highly recommended.

We holiday most years in Crantock and always attend the Thursday night quiz. I booked a table well in advanced for our family via Facebook. We arrived 20 minutes early to find no table had been reserved for us and nothing could be done. All other tables were booked and some had been sat empty 40 minutes past their reservation time. Our family which included young children were all hungry by this point and after several phone calls we discovered all other pubs in the area were fully booked due to the school holidays so we were not only missing out on a fun quiz night we also didn’t have anywhere to eat. Very disappointing. I would suggest calling to double check your table is actually reserved.

The pizza was one of the best that I have ever had in UK. The waiting staff were helpful. They could have been friendlier. The price was reasonable. There is a hidden car park.

Very friendly staff and good selection of drinks. We had the burgers and mediterranean fish - both really good. Loads of seating outside, dog friendly.

Great food. Great grub. Great atmosphere and location

Had the fish pie, tastes amazing definitely will be back.

Great food.prices weren't to bad.good service and when they have live entertainment,the atmosphere is good too.parking is the only issue as thier small car park gets full fast and also lack of choice with non alcoholic drinks unless you want soft drinks.

We had a great visit to the Cornishman at the weekend. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was fab and the waiting staff were so friendly and welcoming.

Good pub food, nice people, friendly atmosphere.

We were at a campsite further up in the village and looked for a pub near the campsite. We had a delicious meal and it was not expensive at all. Pub is cozy and has a nice beer garden.

The staff looked after my whole family (7 of us) with drinks and food effortlessly with smiles and laughter. Fantastic pub will 100% be going back. 10/10 👌🏽

Very friendly and helpful staff, sorted my daughter with her allergy to milk and soya. Food was delicious,

My wife and grandkids ate here several times whilst on holiday and the food was amazing especially the fish chowder 😋and the staff were brilliant,we will definitely be coming back soon for a few more pints of Atlantic as well.🍺🍺🍺👍

We visited on a very hot Sunday lunch time for a drink and some food. We sat outside in the sunshine and decided on the Sunday lunch. The staff were welcoming and helpful. When our lunch arrived it looked amazing, the icing on the cake being a separate bowl of the best cauliflower cheese and a jug of gravy. The meat was tender and plentiful and all the food piping hot. We were asked if everything was ok, the answer could only be, yes, perfect thank you.

Amazing food and great the service. I ordered the halloumi burger and it was the best I've ever had. Fully recommend to anyone living locally or tourists.

Group of 8 of us with a mix of adults and children. All enjoyed their meals of pies, pizza and burgers. Also enjoyed the quiz night which was fun. Thanks to all the staff ❤️

Had fish pie its not a fish pie i recognise staff were lovely but please maybe try a new recipe potato on top was watery not sure what the sauce was or the fish sorry not impressed

Six of us ate here in July 2024 Really welcoming bar staff even though it was very busy Food was very good. Quick to arrive and fresh. They were having a quiz on the night we were there which we took part in. That was very entertaining and engaging Would definitely go back and have some more food at this fantastically located pub

Fantastic. Food was great. Atmosphere was electric with the football and the old time sailors

Lovely pub directly opposite another popular pub sonparking can be tight, although it was well managed when we arrived. Attended on quiz night with our extended family whilst on hols so added some extra fun. Good selection of ales... staff were lovely. Dog friendly.

During one of our first trips to the cliffs, we ate a delicious and hearty dinner here.

Very friendly staff, good service and food was very nice

Their roast was absolutely lovely and usually I'm hard to please when it comes to a Sunday Lunch 🤣. The children's meals were also a great size and the chicken nuggets were proper chicken breast chunks, not the usual cheap reformed junk. The service was also excellent, very helpful and attentive staff. A large beer garden and plenty of parking.

Can recommend the halloumi burger!

Excellent food, at a fair price, clean and welcoming

A very welcoming, busy pub. Called on a Thursday evening to book a table for 10 of us, as food was so disappointing on the holiday park we were staying at, they said they would squeeze us in! We arrived, table all set up lovely, staff were friendly. We ordered our food and a short time later all our meals came out together. Food was amazing!! It didn't touch the sides! Prices were more than reasonable and portions were massive!!

Really friendly doggie greeting pub with a massive car park in a village where parking space is in short supply. We called in one afternoon having been caught up in the A30 diversions. We were met with friendly faces, helpful staff and good quality food. The menu is not the largest but my chowder was excellent although burger was a little overcooked. Good value and would certainly revisit when we next drive across to Crantock

What a fantastic place. Loved it 5*

The menu you get isn’t the menu online. Food was awful sorry but it’s true. Frozen food cooked chicken watery and straight from freezer to microwave I’d say. Don’t like giving bad reviews as it’s people’s livelihoods but just go go a drink food is terrible it makes me laugh they ask what food we had yet none of that was on the menu

Went for a meal 24/06/24 looked at the reviews and menu and all seemed lovely until I got there menu was basic not what was advertised hardly any choice had the scampi just basic frozen scampi husband had the chicken which he spat out so disaster of a meal thought reviews we're there to help

Lovely place and staff are very friendly

Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere, staff were so friendly and happy to help.

Lovely village pub. Excellent Sunday roast. I had the lamb. Gorgeous!

What a delicious breakfast, such good value for money

Tonight, local people got together in the pub and played fantastic music.... thank you to them all. There's a good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices and the staff are fantastic.... if you go to Crantock, then visit this pub 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Well worth a visit, staff friendly, great location, small car park though. If you are lucky enough to be there when The Old Sailors are performing, you are in for a treat. We had chilli nachos and chicken burger

Lovely Sunday roast. The cauliflower cheese is amazing 👏

Don't know wether the guy didn't like me but tried to ignore me twice. After waiting for 25 minutes before was allowed to order, the food never showed. Everyone ordered after me had their meals. When I asked the waitress why my meal hadn't turned up she said would check. 5 minutes later the guy who took my order showed up and said there was a miscommunication with the kitchen. You give them the ticket they make the meal. Not sure how that could happen. Waitress was fine so not blaming her. Any how never got the food and left.

Lovely pub, thanks so much for kindly hosting the runners in the car park.

Great pub, with a decent beer garden and outdoor covered space under gazebo. A great place to see intimate gigs but my faves of past 2 years have to be the Old Time Sailors! Always set the place off!

We visited when the Old Time Sailors were playing. What an atmosphere! The whole place was absolutely buzzing! Great food (and lots of it), friendly staff, and a great range of drinks. It's really stolen a march on the Albion across the road, which is now looking more and more in need of a thorough shake-up.

Bad, after queuing for ages they argued a number is on the table when trying to order food, they're wasn't. Staff member offered to take order as was clearing up outside. Asked for pulled pork pizza to be told don't do them even though it is on the menu? We live here so wouldn't be back again if i was a tourist.

Excellent pub grub and good quiz thur night

Friendly pub with a large outdoor area

Stopped off for coffee. Very pleasant.

Great vibe, lovely place situated in beautiful crantock

Awesome experience! The beer was really delicious and the atmosphere was great, there was a live concert too so we also had great music

Fantastic local pub. Staff are very friendly & efficient, beers heavenly, and food fantastic. And it’s dog-friendly too.

Great food and service just what you want on holiday, enjoyed pie night

Great atmosphere, service was extremely efficient and generous portions. Haven't visited in over 20 years and it is very child and dog friendly.

Absolutely great experience here (certainly when compared to the albion on the other side of the road!! - where they served us yesterdays rock hard re-heated desserts, which also looked like vomit, and the staff were arguing with each other whilst trying to serve us!). Thankfully, we decided to give the "other pub" in Crantock a go, and we're so happy we did. On arrival, the place was spotlessly clean and we we're greeted with a cherry smile. The owner, Dave, Was very friendly, letting us try various drinks before settling on a preferred choice then set up the woodburner for us to enjoy our meal... which was delicious (and very well priced (again, compared to the albion). My wagyu burger, with cheese and bacon was perfection, plus our other 3 meals were just as good (pesto/Mozzarella/tomato panini... full breakfast - £8 and £10 "double up" options available, chilli chips, and the breakfast bap). The drinks were fresh, layout was lovely, garden spacious, music delightful, big carpark at the back, sport on HD TVs... and the overall experience was just fantastic. Highly recommended 👌🏼

My friends and I visited the cornishman last september and had a roast dinner and returned again today and enjoyed another roast plenty of it I never have room for desert....also its dog friendly a big plus as we have two dogs with us.

I had lamb jalfrezi with rice (also a naan bread, poppadum, onion bhaji, mango chutney and mint raita). Absolutely fantastic and incredibly generous portions. Also superb Guinness and really great staff. All in all, a lovely night.

I’ve just had the BEST pie and mash ever!

Had some meals this week, Burger, Pizza and today I had the Katsu breaded chicken. It was absolutely brilliant. I thought the be previous were good but this on tonight has me doing something I don’t usually do and give a review.

We had a fabulous night here on Thursday. We ate the most amazing home made steak and ale pie with chips and veg, followed by a really enjoyable time doing the pub quiz. Staff very friendly, service very good. A real gem of a Cornish pub, where I will definitely go back to.

Awesome dog friendly pub with great food and beer

What a gem of a find, good food and portion sizes, will be back!

A warm welcome, great food, lovely staff and a good atmosphere with a log burner kept topped up all evening. Plenty of parking too. Would definitely recommend.

Can’t believe some of the reviews as in our experience this pub is friendly, welcoming with a great atmosphere, food and staff. This is not our first visit to the area and we love it , we feel like part of the community each time we visit in. We make an effort to integrate which isn’t difficult. You feel welcome if you’re local or not. We love the different themed food evenings and ate at the curry night that was excellent ( huge portions) good choice and a massive bhaji. We love the quiz night and always take part (and fail miserably) The pie night coincides with the quiz and the pies are home made , massive and very generously filled and included a drink. Pete who does the quiz is excellent at it and includes a raffle to take part in play your cards right for cash prizes. We were fortunate enough to win a £50 prize which made up for our poor performance on the quiz. Happy memories of this great pub.

Finally found the best pint of Guinness in the area by a mile! Not saying that lightly as I’ve had a fair few during my search. Great staff, dog friendly and plenty of tables outside with parking aswell!!! It’s a must visit if you are staying nearby on your hols

Very friendly and welcoming pub and staff. Dogs are welcome.

This place is magic. One of the best pubs in Crancock to drink, and enjoy music with your family

Amazing Sunday roast!! Lovely staff and beautiful pub 🙂

We visit The Cornishman regularly when In Crantock. Lovely pub with lovely staff and lots of events during the summer season and the quiz/play your cards right on a Thursday evening is great fun. Dog friendly day and night!

Busy loud lots of screaming kids running around

We only stopped in briefly, but the staff were friendly, the drinks were nice, and the pub itself had a really nice look about it. Never sampled the food, but didn't think it was fair to put a low star rate just because we didn't eat.

We stayed in the nearby parkdean holiday park and walked into Crantock Village. A great pub. Friendly service and good beer. Didn't eat here but the food smelt lovely

Beautiful panini's - huge portions and tasted lovely

We had a lovely meal at the Cornishman whilst staying in Crantock. The fish, chips & mushy peas were delicious as was the salmon. Staff are really friendly & the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Nice little country pub, didn't have food, so can't comment on that, but there was a good range of drinks for old and young, staffvwere friendly and there was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Nice for a drink if you're in the area.

Great pub in crantock. Plenty of gf options and dog friendly too.

Loved the pub, friendly staff and lovely food, try the steak, mushroom and Stilton sandwich, delicious. Also dog friendly our 2 felt at home.

Phenomenal pie. Without doubt the best steak and ale pie I've had. Staff very friendly too. Doom bar and pie. Awesome. I'd give it 6 start. Try the pie!!

Late lunch Sunday Roast. We booked earlier in the week and wanted the last time available. We were asked to choose from Beef, Lamb or Chicken to make sure our preferred meal would be available. A friendly welcome as always here, our roast arrived promptly. It was hot, visually pleasing, plentiful and more importantly very tasty. All vegetables cooked well, beef extremely succulent and tasty. Extra gravy and a bowl of delicious cauliflower cheese appeared soon after. All in the price £15. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous. I'm so pleased to say this pub has returned to its previous excellence!! Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the fish and chips, mushy peas were also included which were lovely and sweet, The chips were crispy and the succulent cod covered in crispy batter. Will definitely be returning!!

Lots of noisy kids running wild.

Another great stay . Very relaxed holiday amazing walks on beach with our dog whatever the weather . Caravans modern and all park staff very friendly and helpful.

Great pints and atmosphere as usual. Fantastic food last year (2022) but have you changed chef? On 'Old Time Sailors' Monday a very limited menu, we fully understand that but to serve up two Burnt Black pizzas😡, no self-respecting chef would send those out. Then on Thursday Pie night we waited for nearly an hour😡. Our meals were just ok but franky disappointing compared to our previous experiences.

Recently refurbished pub in the village center. Friendly staff who make you feel wanted as a customer, more than I can say for the Albion Inn. No food at the moment as kitchen has not been finished, but good selection of beers etc. Had a few great nights here while on holiday. Good to see the Cornishman doing well, all the best to the new owners. ONE YEAR UPDATE, sept22. Now doing great food, staff still great, best pub in the village. UPDATE sept23, Cornishman team still going from strength to strength, recommended 👍

We came here when most other places kitchens were closed. The Pizzas were fresh and tasted really good, nothing special but just a good base and toppings (although if you ask for Jalpenos you get a whole jar it seems...which is a good or bad thing depending how much you like them) There was a quiz on when we visited on a Thursday night, bar staff friendly and just an all round good atmosphere. It's gone through a bit of change over the years, so it was great to see it busy and buzzing.

Was going to eat hear,but was overlooked at the bar infaivour of Neanderthal barman serving locals.Had the one drink while listening to clientele farting and decided it wasn’t for us

Nice friendly pub, we had a Sunday dinner which was very good.
