The Dock Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Another lovely pub in Penzance. Nice atmosphere.

Two excellent beers. Friendly staff. I didn't use the hotel

We were not expecting such great hospitality but it was all worth. Decent room and friendly staff staff. The location is very convenient 10 min. to the railway station, the main bus station and town centre. The breakfast served was nice. An overall good experience.

Old-style pub with a nautical theme, near the harbor, where one can have a peaceful drink without the noise of those who can't handle their beer.

Great 'local' and a couple of minutes walk from where I stay in Penzance. Nice cosy atmosphere and great beers on draft including Spingo's Middle (5%) from the Blue Anchor in Helston. Nectar! Have not stayed in any of the rooms nor eaten there.

Especially enjoyed breakfast in room at quaint bay window table. A true pub experience but missed the opportunity to enjoy their restaurant since it was not functioning at that time.

Perfection location if you are travelling on the Scillonian to the Isles of Scilly. Friendly staff, excellent value for money, and a hot breakfast served in your room. Cannot fault it!

Lovely bar staff, good ales, brilliant play list

Lovely pub - friendly, welcoming service, great atmosphere and fantastic Sunday Roast - they did not scrimp on the meat at all.

Lovely friendly and welcoming pub. Good prices. Great range of drinks. Nicely laid out outside area. Dog friendly. We will come here again.

£6.70 for a large house red wine. What a rip-off been popping in there for years never been ripped off like that before dearest price in Penzance

Just a brilliant pub, Potion no.9 is an outstanding beer, and it's always our first pit stop on our way to watch Pirates!!!! Really friendly welcome!

Had a lovely experience here. ☺️ Ended up here accidentally when looking for a place to eat without any success. They weren't doing food, but the bar staff and locals were super helpful in trying to guide us to places that might be able to feed us. Nethertheless, we decided to stay here and have a drink and some crisps while playing games (frustration and pop up pirate) that were available for us. It was a very homely feeling place, and the bar man offered to share his holiday chocolate gift with my girls as we were missing our late lunch. Felt very taken care of and welcomed here. Highly recommend if you are on the outskirts of Penzance, right on the coast, and looking for a local pub. Nice beer to top it off, too. I had the potion No.9. Lovely. Thank you.

One of the best pub in penzance

Decent pub with a lovely decorated interior. Several cask beers on and the two i had were well kept. Friendly staff and locals.

Absolutely loved this place. Really friendly staff and locals. The room was super comfortable and excellent value for money

Cornish pub selling top quality Cornish beer. Pool table and outdoor seating. Very tidy rooms available with hot breakfast served in the room.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room was spotless .staff were friendly. Attention to the smallest detail in room. Breakfast was amazing. No complaints at all. Reasonably priced..Well done guys . Would stay again

I've just had a takeaway Sunday lunch from The Dock. I'm in my 50's and have eaten many meals, but this was absolutely the best meal I have ever had. Very tasty, huge portions. One stuffed and very happy man. Many many thanks to Phil and Lynne.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Rooms lovely and clean and spacious . Breakfast served to room and was the nicest breakfast was full of choices and thewe have had for a very long time.

Great pub very welcoming n friendly,some great beers n lagers especially the spingo a must,foods great aswell will definitely be returning,keep up the great work!!

I arranged a retirement and birthday party for my niece. It was excellent. The staff and owner couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The buffet was plentiful and really well cooked and presented. We had a great evening. The locals were welcoming and good fun. Particular thanks for the lift home at the end. If you're thinking of a get together this is the place to go.

Lovely people and my son raves about there Hollumi wedges and homemade puddings

Enjoyed a classic burger and John had a steak. John's words - steak can be hit and miss when it comes to pub food but this is exceptional. My burger had flavour and trimmings and the most excellent onion rings to accompany.

Siamo stati in questo bel locale a penza c’è in occasione di un viaggio con la famiglia : 2 ragazzi e 2 adulti. Molto accogliente il pub , che appare assolutamente frequentato da persone del posto, molto cortesi ci hanno trovato subito un tavolo per la cena (2030 già tardi per la zona) . Abbiamo mangiato veramente bene oltre a piatti più normali per i ragazzi (Nuggets di pollo fatti a mano con contorni) abbiamo ordinato tapas miste ,garlic bread e bocconcini di rana pescatrice con patate e piselli. Birra scura per accompagnare la cena … tutto veramente ottimo. Prezzo estremamente ragionevole per tutto quanto descritto 46£ + mancia. Posto da frequentare , grazie In foto i piatti descritti

Came across this pub whilst staying in Penzance. It became our local for a few days. The staff were very friendly. We had the tapas one night which was very tasty and good sized portions. Great atmosphere, we were lucky to be in there, when an impromptu gathering of locals were singing sea shanties. Great experience. Dogs are welcomed. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Amazing service, great food! Good for the family and allow dogs to come in too. Nice interior and staff.

The steak was perfect. Service was amazing. Couldn't recommended more, go there. Excellent prices, fantastic food and wonderfully accomodating staff. 5 star, A+++

An idyllic pub next to the working docks. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The ale is well maintained and any problem is dealt with swiftly without issue. I'd definitely recommend a good few nights spent in The Dock.

From arriving to leaving (although only an overnight stay) the welcome was great, service and food fab. Room generous, clean and everything you need. Even breakfast brought to your room in the morning. Thankyou so much

It has become a tradition to have Sunday Dinner at the Dock Inn during our annual holiday to Cornwall. It is absolutely superb, but recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Beautifully cooked local vegetables and succulent meat, at an excellent price. The beer is also excellent. What’s not to love?

A couple of pints on the Tuesday and another on Wednesday, all good. We were even treated to being entertained by the local male voice choir on the Tuesday.

Lovely pub . Second time we have stayed here and it is just as good . Friendly service with good honest pub food . Breakfast in the morning served in your room is excellent . The beds are very comfortable and the rooms newly painted . The ensuites are well equiped and the large white fluffy bath towels are honestly the best i have had at any hotel i have stayed in . Really recommend the Dock in for a transit point to the Scilly isles . It is an excellent way to start or end a holiday . Parking on site is also very handy as its not always offered in Penzance.

Friendly local Pub, with interesting Characters.

Lots of places shut still post covid so found it a bit difficult to find a pub. The Dock was recommended to us by a couple of othe pubs in Penzance and we were not disappointed. Choice of meats or a mix with lots of different veg. Quite a large meal . Don't think we would have got through the large roast. I did try a couple of locally brewed real ales but think they are an acquired taste. Thoroughly recommend a visit here

Spent the night here, nice pub, good accommodation and food. Ideal location right by the harbour and parking too. We had a lovely meal in the evening and breakfast was served in the room in front of the huge bay window which was great as it meant I could have breakfast in my pj's! Staff were all friendly and welcoming and our dog was made a fuss of too. Will definitely return when we are in this area again.

Visited for a couple of beers and was pleased to see very local guest ales on tap. Great chatty staff behind the bar and generally a very pleasant atmosphere in the pub. Was really made to feel very welcome. I'll certainly be back!

Lovely place , great pint what more can I say.

Stayed 2 nights staff hardworking and friendly. Room nice breakfast in room, novel. Would recommend to anyone convenient for a trip the Isle of Scilleys

Stayed 2 nights either side of Scillonian sailing. Very comfortable stay and very good evening meals. Superb choice of breakfasts served in your room. Very well looked after and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend, especially if using the ferry as check in a 2 minute walk away.

Never book a table at the only remaining restaurant with tables left. There’s a good reason for it. Seriously how hard is it to cook fish, chips and peas. It took 45 minutes to arrive. The peas had been kept warm so long they were grey. The fish was watery and tasteless and the chips where cold and shrivelled. Never again

Well kept local ales, good choice of pub food cooked well, tasty and good value. The Sunday lunch is said to be the best in Penzance choice of meats, veggie, large or small. The small I couldn't eat all of!

Very tasty lemon meringue sundae, also really sound waiter called luke 👌

Came in for unplanned Sunday lunch and received a warm welcome and good service. Beer and cider good, roast lunches excellent and great value, with good selection of vegetables too. Didn't have room for the tempting sounding desserts. The only thing which lets this pub...

A very nice friendly pub. Good service and really nice food. We had the Homemade Fish Cakes and Homemade Lasagna. I’d recommend both washed down with a Rattler.. Would definitely go again.

Great pub with great cider and fab food!

Wow amazing Sunday lunch, they do two plate sizes which is really good. Good selection of veg and no boring peas. I can’t fault any part of the meal, dessert was excellent too. Highly recommended

We stayed here for one night before a walk along coastal path. The location was perfect for us to explore the town for a couple of hours and to set out from the next day. Room was clean and comfortable. We both had a good...

The outside appearance at the time was in contrast to the homely and welcoming inside – wow! A real find. We arrived as pre-booked to eat early with excellent home cooked mains and desserts. Service was great ensuring we could make the local Acorn theatre...

The food was really good and the atmosphere had a local, friendly charm. They're busy - particularly during peak season - so make sure you book ahead if you're going to eat.

We booked for Sunday lunch based on other reviews and were not disappointed. The pub was welcoming and clean. We had the 'small' lunch which was a perfect size. There were plenty of good quality, well cooked vegetables, and tender meat, we had pork and...

This place regularly attracts locals for its warm welcome, good pub grub. Table bookings are not timed, and could have stayed until closing if we wished. Three of us had fish from the specials board, and one had the steak pie. Most of the menu...

Perfect location to stay overnight from the ferry crossing from the isles of Scilly. The room was big and very comfortable .The noise from the pub below could be heard but didn't bother us and the breakfast was on time and well cooked. We arrived...

Great pub, friendly and efficient staff, good food. Near the harbour with a good beer garden at the rear. Certainly will visit again!👍

Had a lovely fish and salad dish plus dessert. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Landlady and land lord was absolutely lovely very friendly and welcoming. But toilets upstairs so it's not disabled friendly. But a yes for a good laugh, thoroughly had a fantastic time.

Nice old pub. Secluded beer garden, with some of it covered.Good beer and friendly staff. Reasonably priced.

Great staff, dog friendly too. Good food, good beer, good company. Would I recommend a visit ? Without a doubt

We popped in here for a quick drink and stayed for a few! Lovely staff, very welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our couple of hours here on a wet Penzance evening!

Excellent hosts, lovely large room with a bath, beautiful sea view, very clean and excellent food, would definitely recommend.

Visited for Sunday lunch today and can honestly say it's one of the best vegetarian roasts we've ever had in a pub. The nut roast is homemade and delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

my wife and i popped in for a pint. beet was great and landlord was very friendly and informative. pub very characterful.

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Lots of vegetarian choices.

Invited by friends who had experienced a lovely lunch a week ago. We weren't disappointed. Roast beef(small) was ample. 2 huge slices of beef, Roast potatoes, carrots, Swede, cabbage, parsnip, creamed leeks and cauliflower cheese. Husband had large pork. Lovely tender meat and crackling to die for. Desserts included. Small + pud=£10.95. Lge +pud £13.95. All veg fresh and meals served steaming hot. Will definitely return. Great staff, good wine and value for money.

This was absolutely delicious, we had tried earlier in the week to book a table and was so pleased in the end. The service and atmosphere was really lovely, relaxing and friendly feel about the place. Ordered one of the specials, haddock and plaice and it was amazing. The food was just so delicious, we most certainly plan being back.

Absolutely loved this place. Fantastic hosts, and all staff so friendly and accommodating Would return

Wonderful home cooked food served by friendly and attentive staff at a leisurely pace. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Very friendly proper Sunday roast, garden where you can smoke.

On voulait tester le crabe et avons opté pour ce pub. Comme le disent les commentaires plus bas, ce sont des pâtes avec des miettes de crabes mais nous avons beaucoup aimé l'assaisonnement épicé. Accueil sympa, service rapide. Ambiance pub et marin en même temps.

As a Father’s Day treat we wanted a lovely takeaway roast and the Dock Inn cooked us an amazing meal.The vegetables were superbly cooked and the potatoes were perfect. Often I recommend a specific dish but in this case we recommend all of them because the chicken, beef, pork and nut roast were all delicious Thank you for making our Father’s Day complete

Great traditional Cornish pub with a strong nautical feel. Wounderful friendly staff and locals. Dog friendly (fell in love with the pub Westie) All the staff are very friendly and helpful, because we were out for a concert early in the evening dinner was cooked for us dead on six so we did not have to rush (would recommend the fresh Newlyn battered Cod) The room we had was spacious and clean with a giant bed. plenty of little things like bottled water and tea and cooffee. Breakfast is served in your room at the time you request and was very nice.Looking forward to staying again

As we were staying in Penzance overnight, we drove into Penzance for dinner. The restaurant where we'd intended to eat was booked out, so we went to the nearby Dock Inn. What a pleasant surprise this was! Good food, friendly service and reasonably priced.

We got a takeaway roast today would recommend on every level brill value for money and high quality food .every element was stunning and we were shocked at the variety of veg . Just beautiful we will be back regularly

This pub has had a nice overhaul since we last visited the town and we were really pleased with what we found. The locals were a little unwelcoming at first but the staff were helpful and the alcohol was good and there was an excellent range.There is a pool table and a nice array of places to sit and enjoy a social drink or three.Like what they have done with the place we will pop in again next time we are in the town.

Lovely friendly pub,Sunday lunch was lovely ,as always.Toilets are always very clean +sweet smelling.

This was a lovely friendly place ! Bar staff were excellent and knowledgeable! !

Visited on a Saturday Night. Though looked busy staff found us a table. Both of us had Chicken Curry. This was extremely tasty. The bar serves 3 cask beers from Cornwall including Spingo Medium from the Blue Anchor at Helston. In the Camra Good Beer Guide. Well worth a visit.

Good value food. Nice friendly atmosphere. Attentive landlord made us as visitors feel welcome. Oh, and a great pint of Spingo Middle!

Found this little gem through trip advisor, looking for somewhere to stop for Sunday dinner. It was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Absolutely beautiful lunch.

Friendly owners, delicious well cooked and proper homemade Roast Dinner. For what you might pay elsewhere this is well worth a visit, freshly cooked, open fire, atmospheric and good Cornish hospitality. Extra portions of vegetables and gravy all made the meal great value and its not far from the town centre. Local pub, very near the Quayside too, we enjoyed a lovely home cooked Sunday Roast, with vegetarian options available. Many thanks!

Came here on Friday for a group meal, the menu , staff and setting was lovely !!! Will definitely be back ...... and especially as it was on my recommendation

Great little pub, but prefer the Dolphin next door.

Booked for Sunday lunch today and it was excellent, properly home cooked pub grub which was very tasty. The staff were all really friendly and helpful, pitty we are heading home tomorrow otherwise we would definitely be back, thank you it was most enjoyable.

Very welcoming and friendly staff and happy to help and help where possible. We were served breakfast in our room and was quite different. Room was very comfortable. The food was brilliant and we had a variety of meals in the evenings and all were very tasty, plentiful and well cooked. Good choice of foods for breakfast and as only 3 rooms to stay in we could understand why they served it in your room.

Me my wife and 14 year old son with autism popped in to The Dock Inn on Thursday 2nd May 2019 as we were hungry and the first pub we visited sadly the chef was off ill. What a find, a very warm welcome, Me and the wife had the steak meal whilst my son had the gammon. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Will def pop back here again in the future

A proper pub with proper beer. This was the first of 4 pub visits on Thursday last week and the Spingo was excellent as was the beer the wife had but I can't remember what that was. Cheap too.

We had lovely 3 course meals at the Dock Inn last night, including an excellent steak and ale pie and a great choc nut sundae! All courses were reasonably priced. The service from all of the staff was great, but a special mention for the waitress who was outstanding.

Ein sehr rustikal eingerichtetes Pub mit einfacher Deko. Ich bestellte mir das typische Fish&Chips;, dazu serviert wurden noch Erbsen. Leider schmeckte der Fisch nach gar nichts, und die Erbsen waren hart. Die Tische waren klebrig und nicht besonders sauber. Allerdings muss man sagen, dass das Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam war.

Really lovely food at dock inn last nite It comes highly recommended Pleasant staff nothing to much trouble starters main meals an deserts great 😊

We had the cajun cod which was delicious and trio of fish. The trio of ggish was nice but one of y hem was a bit dry. Overall it was a lovely evening

Excellent food and lovely friendly staff. Food was fast and hot we had fish and roast chicken both were delicious.

Comfortable, central. Clean and friendly staff.

I ate here as I was staying in a room upstairs for the night and I am very glad I did!

We were in Penzance for Mothers Day. The Dock Inn was just across the street from where our yacht was moored, so we decided to try the Sunday Roast. EXCELLENT! Also great value for money, with the "small" serve overflowing the plate, and providing numerous veggies with a delightful pork roast (choice of pork, chicken or beef). All cooked nicely even to my husband's discerning taste.

3 of us went this evening and we were originally going to eat somewhere else and then noticed the special boards outside; seafood mixed platter!! Two of the guests had this and I had the homemade lasagne. All mains were beautiful and could not fault it; I never order a lasagne as I just don't think they ever taste unxious enough but this was special and very tasty. We all had the prawn cocktail to start and you can tell that the chef cares alot about what is served as the quality was exceptional. If you are looking for a down to earth pud who serve tight quality fresh food then this is your pub. The waitress was so lovely and very helpful and polite and I thought her customer service was brilliant, I didn't take her name but nothing was to much and the food came quickly and you didn't need to add any seasoning. Thanks guys for a great evening!!

We stumbled across this place after looking up where to eat in Penzance, we originally planned to go somewhere else but thought we'd try here instead and I am very glad we did as the food in general was beautiful. I had the prawn cocktail to start and the seafood salad platter as my main and it was amazing. My father in law had the same as me and my partner had the prawn cocktail and lasagne and that tasted brilliant too. Would definitely go back to this place again. Staff were very friendly, nice atmosphere and the food was outstanding

We visited with two tired boys after a long day out and about. The fire was a welcome sight and the staff were very friendly. Good ale and decent pub grub. Reasonably priced too! Would definitely recommend.

Came in with my family for a meal at the Dock Inn and was pleasantly welcomed by the barman. Locals very approachable and food delicious. Will be coming again :)
