The Crows Nest Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Really nice food and lovely atmosphere. We managed to book a table last minute to see Black Friday perform and they were happy to accommodate. Lovely bar staff and compliments to the chef for the care and service provided. Nothing negative to say!

Perfect winter pub with fire and nice locals. Excellent cider and chips. Great homemade hot sauce. After 1 pint I wanted to relocate to this superb part of the world. It's as good as it can get. What a pocket of paradise. Very welcoming ye olde 17th century inn.

Poor service over cooked food very slow 1 1/2 hours for just a meal fed up waiting to order a desert so paid and walked out on holiday visiting family will not be going back there the Yorkshire pudding was black were it was over cooked roast potatoes were just boiled with gravy colour best part of meal was cauliflower cheese

Food over cooked service very poor and slow we were there for 11/2 hours all we had was a meal walked out fed up with waiting to order a desert so they lost out on £48

Great night out, band were really good.

The young gentleman who served us at the bar and table was very personable and friendly. The fish and chips meals were delicious and the pheasant pie is recommended. The best surprise for my husband was that they sold a good pint of Hicks........other brews are available.😄

Loved it food was superb , only point could use a little more staff . But then so could most businesses just to help speed things up but I could be a bit biased as I had a difficult kid . Great friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful place, with a lot of history.

We came here for Sunday lunch and it was the best roast I think I've ever had outside of home. Great selection of veg,all beautifully seasoned. Amongst the three of us we had pork, gammon and beef. All were delicious. Really friendly staff as well. Couldn't fault it.

Only live round the corner, and decided last minute to book a table for my wife and I - only gave 45 minutes notice and they managed to fit us in which was great as they were really busy. Great to see the baked camembert back on the menu - that's just too good to resist, which meant I was nearly full when the main came out and the mains were huge - very nice roast. Good company as always, cracking service and once again, the quality of entertainment was top notch. What's not to like ? .

Wish I lived closer so I could regularly attend this lovely pub, the food is absolutely gorgeous. Best steak I've ever had. If anyone is ever in the area I highly recommend visiting! 10/10

Amazing fish & chips, lovely touch to have the Samphire added. Staff found us a table despite not booking. Polite and efficient service and lovely country pub atmosphere 👌 will ho back again for sure.

Super fresh cooked food, atmosphere in bar friendly and welcoming definitely will visit again when back down in the area

Lovely food, great staff,friendly atmosphere. Very nice Sunday lunch with our dog.

Unbelievable food and friendly staff with fantastic service. Seriously beautiful food. Never had fish and peas that tasted so good. Dog friendly with a decent car park and a lovely beer garden.

Amazing food, chef was passionate about his food and gave recommendations. Loved the way the chef came to the table and asked how the food was. Barman very friendly and helpful and polite. The whole evening has been lovely thankyou very much. We are on holiday and will definitely be back next time we visit. Great menu with it being first day of it.

Idealistic old cosy pub ...friendly service & amazing food the wine was quality aswell...can't fault anything 👌

Awesome spot, couldnt be more impressed with the brilliant service. Well worth a detour off the main road if your sightseeing around Bodmin Moore

A warm and welcoming atmosphere, a really good Sunday roast all washed down with a great pint. What more could you ask for. Dog friendly as well

First visit here. A warm welcome and a pub with real character. Even on a Monday night we were glad we booked as the was a constant stream of diners. Our group enjoyed Fish & Chips, Cornish Seafood Linguine Prawn Salad and Pie of the Day (Steak). Generous portions well cooked. Local beers available. Shame we don't live closer. Highly recommended

Brilliant little hidden gem. Stopped for a quick lunch. The young barman was friendly, welcoming and highly professional. Food was fresh, fried whitebait and crusty filled baguettes. Good choice of ales at reasonable prices. Lovely sheltered beer garden.

Exploring the area today and happened to find this lovely traditional pub. From the moment we walked in, too the time we left the staff were really welcoming and friendly. The barman was very polite and brought our drinks to the table, and the waiter was really helpful and friendly. The roast was excellent, absolutely faultless and great beer! Lovely atmosphere, and great way to spend a rainy afternoon! Thank you.

We didn't enjoy our visit. We sat outside, were told a big group were coming. We ordered and ate well before and still quite busy. Me & my mum had the same but were just luke warm. We are manly vegetarian, my mum ended up with a whitebait on her plate but wasn't bothered in a way. But somebody is a fully vegetarian or has allergy's, isn't very good. My mum informed barman but he didn't seem very bothered / interested. We have been many of times in the past but hadn't been for a while, but we remember why now. We won't be back. Small car park, inside & outside seating

Great food, lovely staff, will definitely be visiting again

We met up with some family and friends whom we had not seen for many years. The Crow's Nest was a convenient choice half-way between their homes and where we were staying. What an excellent choice! Excellent food, first class service and congenial surroundings. All the dishes were good and my daughter said that her fish and chips were the best she had had in years. It all added up to a very happy and successful occasion and we can thoroughly recommend the Crow's Nest

Great staff but they were completely overwhelmed by the numbers to be served on the day of our visit, the pub was basically taken over by film crews working in the area on a TV. Series. Service was therefore slower than normal and a bit chaotic but the staff worked so hard to cope with things and were just so pleasant in the face of adversity. Main course was very nice but our 'cold' desert was a little warmer than maybe ideal. Overall it was a great visit and would highly recommend this pub, my friends and I will visit again soon when hopefully the place will not be suddenly overwhelmed by a huge amount of people all wanting their lunch at the same time.

We stopped for some lunch. Certainly not disappointed. Excellent service and delicious food. Dog friendly too! Would definitely recommend

Really good service, spontaneous visit and they slot us in for an hour on a busy Sunday. Good atmosphere and the Prawn Marie Baguette was delicious, will be returning!

Nice old pub, nice host and service, good food. Gladly again

We recently visited this pub for a quick drink whilst out walking. We were was thoroughly impressed. It's a great, friendly spot with a lovely garden that adds to the charm. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're looking to relax in a beautiful setting or enjoy some warm hospitality, this pub is definitely worth a visit!

Went for Sunday lunch - roasts were poor, drinks were flat. Worst bit is it’s ‘locals only’ feel, both prioritised by staff and entitled. If you’re arrogant and looking for rubbish food, this is the place for you!

Food great, service great. Cute pub, what’s not to love. Whilst I use to run the pub, I am delighted that it’s better than when we did. So happy for landlady, all the team and the locals.

Waited an hour for a drink and an hour and a half for food. Totally unacceptable.

A quaint old pub in the village of the same name. We liked it a lot. Very friendly and fast service. The food was really good. I had the best fish pizza in a long time. There were also good desserts. Unfortunately we were full. Parking space available.

We had a Sunday lunch here and the food was absolutely amazing, and very filling, the pub had a very traditional warm friendly atmosphere, with proper pub grub and wonderfully polite friendly staff who were very approachable! Shame we are not locals as we would eat here all the time! We will be back. Good busy happy friendly pub

Fast becoming my local of choice. Well kept beer, excellent menu with veggie and vegan options. Fantastic onion rings! Engaging staff and oodles of atmosphere. Plenty of room outside to eat and drink. Large carpark and outside loos. What more could you want?

Great place to visit. Well worth it.

A nice charming old pub off the beaten path. Nice assortment of craft beers on tap and very reasonable prices. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly fast service, not very busy and plenty of seating.

Lovely little pub tucked away in the country roads of Bodmin Moor. Excellent food, great selection of drinks, very friendly and helpful staff. Worth driving the extra bit to find i

An amazing find with great beer, homemade food and perfect service!

there was one lovely,cheerful lady working,it was quite busy, i counted 20 customers eating.2 empty tables,and 1 customer in the garden(eating)she served at the bar,took food orders and served the food,which incidently was mediocre,and then after clearing tables she was washing up,we know that recruitment and retention of hospitality staff is a major problem but in high summer a one man band doesnt work,it gives the pub a poor name.i wont be rushing back,hats off to sarah who kept smiling as she juggled jobs

Fantastic service and food. Our first visit and will certainly be back. Atmosphere was great and a very friendly atmosphere

Great atmosphere and really delicious food. The staff were very friendly and the drinks and food were served promptly despite it being a fairly busy evening. Wouldn’t hesitate to eat at this pub again.

Plenty of food but was not hot and we were one of the first dinner was tepid ladies toilet disgusting sink dirty last nights dirty tissue in bin cobwebs in toilet cubicle needs a repaint and a good clean

Stopped for lunch dog friendly had a steak and stilton baguette lovely food

Visited the crows nest twice during our stay, on both occasion’s the food and beer were excellent, will definitely return in the future, recommend Pie of the day and fish and chips.

Very busy when we visited, even though it was raining quite heavily but they still managed to find us a table. Waited about 20 minutes for food, but it was worth the wait. Excellent spot in a small village just at the edge of Bodmin Moor. Lots to see and do in the area.

Great food & service at a friendly pub, it's small in area but huge in personality. Thoroughly recommend

Sadly leaving a bad review, food was substandard- food appeared re heated, very poor presentation, vegetables looked like they had been scraped off someone else’s plate. Definitely not return , a real shame as reviews read before visiting

Went on a busy bank holiday sunday- was sat in to eat our food next to band playing which music was sensationally loud. Asked to move got moved to dingy dark side room no atmosphere nor no one there to serve. Ordered two sunday lunches, for the price you’d expect everything to be spot on. We got served our food after an hour of waiting, Stone cold like it had been sat on the side for 15 mins before coming out. Hardly any of the things that was stated on menu was on plate. One carrot, a scrape of sweed it was like for decoration & 3 potatoes. Meat was good size but again for the price you'd expect to leave full. Any how, sent back as im not going to be eating stone cold food ? Even cauliflower cheese was cold which was sent separate. We wated another 20 minutes for it to come back out and it had just been microwaved. It was such bother, felt unwelcomed & felt like a hassle asking for things to be changed. Staff are over worked but their attitude shows because of this. I defo wont be returning/ recommending.

My Wife and I were extremely lucky to be able to eat at this fabulous Pub recently. We attended on the 19th of May a Sunday, having heard glowing reports of the roast dinners. However in fairness we have heard many good reports about this place with regards all the food that they serve. My wife chose Roast Pork and I chose the Roast Beef. It was beyond superb. Everything was really nicely cooked. The meat extremely tender and the vegetables crisp. The Landlady (Amanda), has a great team who are courteous, extremely friendly and have brought this great pub back to what it was years ago. It really is worth a visit. Debbie (Chefess), adds her own touch to everything. Whilst I haven't had the chance to try all of the dishes, I am aware that she is one for using local seasonal dishes, such as Venison, Pheasant, Duck, pigeon amongst all the traditional dishes. My only complaint is that we couldn't quite clear our plates, I then spent three sleepless nights worrying about the vegetables and lovely roast potatoes that we both had to leave. Great place and we can't wait to return. Thank you Debbie, Amanda and your great team.

Had a lovely meal with family here, everyone enjoyed their food, nothing to complain about regarding food, service or price.

Friendly staff, only had a couple of drinks but would recommend and return

The steak and Guinness pie was the best i have ever eaten the steak was excellent quality and melted in your mouth. Presentation was mouth watering we called in again the next night. 100 per cent recommended well done all service was great lovely youngsters serving and we did compliment the chef top marks from us welsh

Good pub fare, fish and chips - nice chunky chips , crisp batter what appears to be homemade mushy peas and sharp tartar sauce. We also had gammon from the specials board, thick real gammon and two eggs ... All in all well priced and quality food. Good selection of local ales .... Would recommend

Visited after my mum’s funeral at Pentiddy. Lovely pub, welcoming staff and good food. Guinness Zero - bonus.

Lovely little village pub that's very dog friendly. Food was excellent,and the service was quick and friendly

It was the perfect place after a long long day of tintagel in the morning and Bodmin moor in the afternoon. Food and service were great + as Americans it was our first time doing pub trivia 👍

Whilst on holiday in the area I had pre-booked a table for Sunday lunch. We arrived 15 mins early but were shown to our table nonetheless. First the positive, the roast dinner we had was beautiful, however the overall experience was spoilt by the following. Once seated the waitress said she’d send someone over to take our drink order - 20 mins later we were still waiting. Just before we were about to go up to the bar she realised we’d been forgotten and sent the waiter to our table. Once our food was brought to us we were asked if we wanted any sauces and I requested some horseradish - 10 mins later I was still waiting, watching the waitress attend to other diners, obviously having forgotten about it. We approached the bar and the waiter brought some over. Finally, and this really was the biggest insult, when we’d finished our main course the waitress came to collect the plates and instead of the expected “would you like to see the dessert menu”, she said “ we have some people at the bar and we need your table”. We had been sat down at our table for a grand total of 55 mins and that included the first 20 mins we were forgotten! All in all a real shame and all down in my opinion to the one waitress and her lack of customer service.

This is a lovely cosy looking pub, but unfortunately we didn't get to eat in there as we were taken to a little room outside the main building - known as the stable bar - for our meal. It was pouring with rain and really cold and that really didn't help. The people at the other table in there had their meals brought in under a single sheet of silver foil which was almost blowing away in the wind as it came across the yard exposing their lunches to the elements! Also the staff kept leaving the door open and my husband had to keep getting up to shut it! Luckily it stopped raining before our meals came but they still had to come across the yard which is far from ideal on a cold wet March day! The meal itself was acceptable and I did actually it except perhaps for the limp soft roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese with hardly any cheese. If you book to come here just make sure to ask not to be given the stable bar. It'll be fine on a warm summers day, but totally unsuitable for winter!!

Lunch with friends at The Crows Nest today. An excellent choice of roasts. The venison was tasty and tender. The service was so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was the epitome of a country pub. Dogs are welcome and all the pooches there today were impeccably behaved.

We found this place by chance in the afternoon. As soon as we walked in we felt a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress and the bar staff were very kind and friendly to us. Without asking for it they brought over treats for our dog and a bowl of water for him. The food itself was amazing and the portion sizes were huge. So glad we stumbled across this place! Thank you!

We got our food OK but our friends had an hour to wait for their cold chicken and mash. No sincere apology.

Lovely old fashioned pub, good beers and food was excellent.

Friendly village pub, large amount of free parking. Good choice of beer and wine, cosy inside seating or tables outside for good weather. Food is amazing & the hosts are very welcoming too. Highly recommend.

Went in on a whim Food is spectacular .. young chef definitely worth his weight on gold Atmosphere is brilliant ..proper local pub still as it would've been many years ago any remodelling it's every had has kept with it's era Service is brilliant guys are all very helpful talkative and just genuinely nice people Willd efintly be coming back for a Sunday roast

Great food and excellent atmosphere

We went to this pub just before Christmas for there Christmas menu 10 of us and wow wow wow the food was the best bye a million miles can't wait to go back down keep up the good work

Great pub, open lit fire, friendly staff, great walks nearby, food fantastic, live music, outdoor seating, a proper pub.

Absolutely stunning place, very warm and welcoming, had a fantastic meal that was so delicious! Great tasting wine and very very lovely people who work there! Can’t say enough good things!

Had a very good lunch here with family. The menu is varied with daily specials and the pub has a lovely traditional and cosy atmosphere. The food was excellent and the range of ales on offer extensive. The young staff were very good being polite, informative, professional, friendly and efficient.

Turned up no notice on a wet December day with a toddler and coeliac in tow. Served promptly, courteously, and most importantly some of the tastiest pub food we have eaten in a long while. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly. 6 stars

Disappointing ... We’ve had some very good lunches at The Crows Nest, but today we ordered some of the same dishes and the food was very disappointing. Presumably there was a different person in the kitchen ... certainly the experience was altogether different. A shame as this is generally a very nice pub, and the front-of-house staff have always been very welcoming.

We absolutely love this place the staff are so friendly always try to accommodate your needs...the food is amazing all home cooked and well presented

We were booked here for a Christmas Party menu with friends last Wednesday, and had pre-booked our lovely sounding menu choices of the following: Starters - "Saffron Crab Bon Bons on a bed of leaves, pickled vegetables, herby dip", and for Mains - "Duo of Turkey Crown and Leg, sage and onion stuffing, pigs in blankets, bread sauce, roast potatoes, sprouts in bacon lardons, honey glazed parsnips, seasonal vegetables, in a red wine jus" We were really looking forward to the evening, until the starters turned up, and the three bon bons each turned out to be one nearly hot, one sort of warm and the other virtually cold, with a pickled piece of carrot, and no herby dip. We were still enjoying ourselves, and didn't really notice the dip was missing until afterwards - when we were presented with the Main course... For a meal, and I mean a run of the mill ordinary meal, it was kind of OK. We ate it mumbling, but still enjoying the company and wine, but enthusing less and less about what we had been presented with. There was no "duo of turkey", just a slab of turkey breast, with no turkey leg whatsoever. My stuffing was a miserable little piece of what was once, I presume, a stuffing ball. NO pigs in blankets, NO bread sauce, yes there were three roast potatoes (though admittedly not exactly the best we've ever had), NO sprouts in bacon lardons, one honey glazed parsnip, a miserable piece of cabbage for the seasonal vegetables (though two of our party reported a pea and a piece of carrot somewhere), and NO red wine jus. Just a bit of ordinary gravy. Awful. We did finally complain when the plates were taken away, and the very helpful barman Callum took note and took the comments back. He returned and said that £5 would be taken off each of our meals, which we accepted. Then came the desserts. Well actually they didn't. After about half an hour, two "Christmas Puddings served with Brandy Sauce" finally turned up. We waited for the other two desserts (another Christmas Pudding, and a Lemon and Fig Ricotta Tartlet), which took a while to come, and we asked Callum politely if there was a problem. He told us that the chef had walked out, and that he had been left on his own to run both the bar and kitchen with no help at all, and had had to figure out how to produce the desserts himself. When we found out this, he had our sympathy. The desserts that Callum produced were excellent, with brandy sauce, a sprinkle and a cape gooseberry on top for presentation. Thank you to Callum for taking on the roles of Barman, Chef, Waiter and Pub Manager all rolled into one to complete the evening. We had pulled the crackers on the table earlier just for the hell of it (with the jokes sadly matching the quality of the starters and main meals we'd had), said our 'thank you's to Callum for his efforts, and left him returning to the kitchen to do all the washing up. Merry Christmas Crow's Nest! It'll be a while.

What a fabulous pub, so friendly, warm and welcoming. We only popped in for a quick drink on Sunday as we were staying nearby and ended up having a couple. The staff were all lovely as were the locals. We will definitely come back again. The food that was being served looked lovely as well.

This shop was amazing! The staff were so nice, the apple pie was so tasty and I think they made the burger meat themselves so it was amazing. Definitely go to this restaurant!!!!

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Amazing choice of meats plus veggie options. Lovely atmosphere and super cozy with a gorgeous open fireplace. Great portions and very tasty.

Excellent pub! First time here today. We came on a cold, snowy day to find a big open fire, friendly service and delicious food! It's not surprising that the curried scotch egg is a favourite amongst others, it was full of flavour and quite substantial for a starter plate! The fish and chips were cooked so well, some of the best chips I've had in a pub, super crispy, as was the batter! And the samphire was a lovely addition. Highly recommend, we'll be back!

Dog friendly. Cute. Open fire. Home cooked food. Large wine portions. Amazing!

Great pub if you’re looking to eat or just sit in front of an open fire after a nice walk on Bodmin Moor.

Brilliant engaging staff, most excellent food!!

Beautiful Cornish Pub, lovely friendly staff and beautiful food. Great menu Looking forward to visiting again with the family.

Booked Sunday lunch, assured accessible for disability. Arrived to find small overcrowded pub. Couldn't get through door, ignored by staff. People on reserved table finishing pudding. Asked for assistance, instructed to be patient! No choice but to leave at 2.30pm. Very poor!!!

Despite normally being packed on a Sunday for the Roast the managed to squeeze us in. Beef,Chicken,Gammon..I tried them all..most excellent.Roast potatoes, Parsnip carrots,greens,red cabbage,cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pud. Fantastic..plenty of it and quick service.All washed down with a couple of pints of Hick's *(makes a great change from Tribute or Doom...We will return.

Great Sunday roast. I had a vegan nut roast and it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Super service, really friendly.

The place was oldie worldie very clean and very comfortable. The food was excellent recommended to everyone

Super cosy pub. The people were lovely and the food was the best locally.

Great pub. Great food. Not bad service (the one server on duty was doing everything as best she could). It’s our fourth visit. Delicious crab and steak sandwiches. Lovely skinny fries. But £4.40 for a pint of lemonade from the squirting device at the bar feels a complete rip-off.

Met up with some friends for dinner, shame about the other comments, our food was fine particularly the chicken carbonara, reasonably priced. Beer was good value particularly the Hicks at £4.50 a pint, what wasn't was a shot of gin at £4.90 and even worse which I felt was taking the p*** a push button pint of coke at £4.40

Very poor...booked for birthday lunch they had no record of it...Very ,very busy and noisy so glad in one way they didn't have booking...Won't be going back at anytime...A shame but there are other places that are a million times better and thankful for your custom..

We visited a few nights ago with a couple of our friends who had enjoyed good food and excellent deserts there around Bank Holiday weekend. As locals we decided to take a taxi too so that we could drink some good wine without worrying about the driving. We arrived at 6.45, sadly no specials left bar one so we reverted to the standard menu. We decided to skip the starter and go straight in to the main as we were all starving. Three meals of burgers and one of fish & chips were ordered. After WAITING AN HOUR we asked the waitress what was the delay, she apologised & the meals arrived five minutes after that. On our plates were a smallish burger in an untoasted bun, a scattering of McCain french fries , luke warm and scorched around the edges. There was no other garnish or pickle except a small, minute pot of coleslaw, and just some dried wilted rocket that had seen better days. What a let down ! Even the young boy / manager was speecless when he asked us how our food was, - as we didn't hold back. He went on to say that they had had many complaints that day but the owners weren't in situ so there was nothing he could do ??. In addition when it came to deserts there was hardly anything left available so we bi passed that course. I think if you're charging £19 for a burger and near on £5 a pint for a beer you must do better! Thank goodness we enjoyed the wine ! and lets hope you get a new chef soon !.An expensive night for very little return, lesson learned !

Booked a while ago for lunch, got there they had no record of booking, pub very, very busy. Decided not to bother as too crowded and noisy, shame as we used to go there a lot, thought we would give it a try again. Never again, we went to another venue close by which was 100% better and cheaper too...

A lovely little pub with amazing food. We enjoyed every bit of our meals. The mussels were so fresh and the flavour was on point. We left feeling full and content. The atmosphere was great and being a Wednesday lunch was pretty quiet, but a lovely setting.

Our second visit to this wonderful pub and it was as expected, absolutely lovely. Friendly and helpful staff, fantastic food and drink and a really traditional feel. Just what we needed! Can’t recommend highly enough. We were there on a Friday lunchtime (15th September) after the summer holidays so the kids are back in school but I would still advise booking, just in case. It’s dog friendly too.

Delicious homemade food, clear plates all around!

we are locals and came in for a family dinner, food was ok nothing to rave home about very expensive and overpriced. Would not recommend to go there again to eat

You can feel miles from the noise and bustle of modern life in this charming old pub in Darite, near, but also feeling remote from, Liskeard and the major roads. The staff were welcoming as was the sunny courtyard, the Tribute ale was excellent (but £4.70 in July). Sadly, like many Cornish pubs, they do not serve pasties and so the perfect combination of Cornish pub, pint and pasty cannot be enjoyed. There were other lunch snacks on offer and I was tempted by the sandwiches—but at £10 each I decided to drive up the road to Trevallicks Farm Shop where I got a large and delicious pasty for £7.95. Almost a perfect pub but not quite worth the detour.

Friendly local with lots of character

Dog friendly. Highly recommend homemade pizzas and the onion rings. Staff were so helpful. Very affordable.
