The Fire Engine Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Please update your website! We checked this morning before walking from Penzance planning to have lunch with you . When we arrived the pub was closed despite checking again on the website! Still showed as open ! Please update your opening hours ! Disappointed 😞

Arrived without reservation but warm welcome and helpful service. Ordered Korean chicken and goats cheese starters - good. 2x fish finger sandwiches for mains - wow!

What a gem!!! Lovely Bar lady, all staff friendly and polite... Food amazing. A must to visit when staying in Marazion. We will definitely be frequenting this establishment again when next in area.

Nice looking pub with lovely views, but no food available (was advertised as having food on), only certain beers/lagers available.

We booked a table at the Fire Engine after seeing pictures of their food online. On arriving we bought a drink and settled down to peruse the menu, only to find that the only food on offer was either pizza or burger. We hadn’t expected or wanted to be eating either of those things for our dinner but ordered a couple of pizzas anyway. They were very uninspiring and bland and the prawn and garlic one had no garlic whatsoever and was piled high with undressed rocket. When I commented to staff that there was no garlic on the pizza as described they couldn’t care less ! We visited this pub under false pretences as the menus on their website bore no resemblance to what was on offer.

Great staff service brillant, fantastic food, good value good quality, great place with outstanding views... Just brillant

Amazing views. Great beers. Polite and engaging staff. Fabulous garden and newly renovated pub to spend a chilled afternoon or evening.

Went in a few times over the week whilst on holiday. Beer was good, food (pizza and burger) was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were made to feel very welcome on every visit and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely views of St Michaels Mount from both inside and from the beer garden too.

Disappointing meal.Lovely pub and decor , great beer but food was poor. Prawn salad was pack of prawns on top of a bag of rocket and some canned peppers,most of it was left. Daughter had kids chicken and chips which were poor quality frozen breaded chicken.. I had the teriaki chicken .. same breaded chicken from kids meal and some suprise dry chicken wings.. The pizza was ok but no nduja.. Its a shame as we had high hopes after an amazing meal in the Godolphin earlier in the week.

1x pint of BIRRA MORETTI and 1x pint of Rattler Total = £13.25 Nice feel/look about the pub. Comfy relaxing seats. Was shut at 10:30 (Friday night) as we were the only ones in so can't report on any vibe about the place. I'm a tight northerner so wasn't expecting these prices. But it is what it is.

Our first visit to the Fire Engine where we enjoyed a late lunch today with our little dogs. We were all made very welcome. We had lovely food and beer and the dogs were given treats which were much appreciated . We sat in their lovely garden with its friendly, informal ambiance, and spectacular views. The staff were all kind, pleasant and helpful. We even had the sun shining……a perfect afternoon thank you 🙏😁

A lovely pub with a superb garden overlooking the Castle on the Mount. Hey Jo Jo Kool is the manageress with a big smile and warm welcome who greets you to this lovely St Austell Brewery pub. We enjoyed some fine ales and lagers with our small plates for a lunchtime snack whilst we sat in the heavenly garden. Well done to Hey Jo Jo Kool and the team and we'll see you soon.

Had to write about the fire engine after two great meals so far this week. Lovely welcome with great pizza and drinks in their beer garden with fab view of the mount. Topped last night with the best slow cooked ribs ever compliments to the chef! Wishing you every success

Fantastic staff,Fantastic views of St Michaels Mount.very friendly, welcoming and a great experience. Will be back and try the food next time.

Very welcoming upon arrival, beautiful views, quirky delightful interior and delicious food. The new management are doing an amazing job and I had a wonderful evening.

This is not cordon bleu cooking but it is good pub grub served with a smile and joviality. If it is fish and chips, burgers or scampi then this is for you. Personally I recommend the seafood chowder. Good prices and priceless staff

We were staying in Marazion for a week, we eat here 5 out of 6 nights we loved it so much! We'd recommend the chicken goujons, pizzas and half chicken the most! They also do the most amazing chips, like a crinkle cut chip and a wedge combined! The staff are all so, so friendly and ensure that everyone feels welcome. The garden out the back has the most breath taking views of St Michael's Mount, so if you can the chance I would take a seat outside.

We stayed on Marazion for a week, self catering, so looked to do a couple of meals out. There is the hotel, Cutty Sark and a pub in the centre. This place is up the road by about 5 mins in the car but was easy walking distance for us. We had read alot of positive reviews and our experience was the same. We were here in the 1st week of September and we booked, good job. You can dine inside or outside with fantastic view of St. Michael's If you want the view ask at booking stage I would suggest. The food was great, good range of beer on tap and wines too. Its notfine dining but its not processed either. Good value for money, would recommend.

We enjoyed a evening meal in the Fire Engine for seven days , it was good value for money, they were large portions and very tasty the staff were excellent and friendly, the Hicks on tap was excellent ,but you have to book a table at peck times. We highly recommend this pub so give it a try.

Yes the Fire Engine is on Fire. With good well presented Pub Grub. That's not to say that there are additional dishes on the menu you don't usually find, that are nice and interesting. The best part is the service provided, an all girl team whilst we were there who couldn't have been more switched on and delivered service with a capital S.there was nothing not to like so it makes refreshing change to write a review without a moan. One small bit of advice, you might sell more cocktails if you lost what ingredients go into each ons, the staff didn't really know and most cocktail menus lisy and the contents But if you want service, good food and good portions well presented call at the engine!

Pub situated on the outskirts of the town, great views from the beer garden, however beer prices extremely expensive £12-60 for 2 pints of ipa, we paid £2 cheaper for the same beer in a popular pub in polperro. Welcome was non existent and bar man was more interested in his friends at the bar.

Great pub & friendly. Lovely beer garden to enjoy your lunch/dinner with a fantastic view of St. Micheal’s mount. Dogs welcome to which is always a bonus for us. Excellent menu & well presented food cooked to perfection. (Thank you chef) Would definitely recommend this pub.

Given we were a large party, we were asked to pre-order our food. Fair enough, but on arrival we saw the Specials, which looked a lot more appetising than the standard menu. Once we were sat down, we were then advised that the menu we were sent had out-of-date prices and we would be charged more for what we had ordered - not a great start and very off putting for the sake of a pound or so. We went on to order drinks, but these didn’t arrive until our starters were almost eaten. Cutlery for the main course was then left at the end of the table and we were asked to pass them down the table. One of the mains for our party was then cooked for another table by mistake, so was brought to our table at least 10 minutes before the other meals were ready. This was becoming absurd. Once the other mains arrived, one of the burgers failed to arrive and a meat-free burger was brought to the table as a meat burger and given to the wrong person. Replacement meals were reordered, but by the time they arrived, others were waiting to leave and, so these had to be boxed up. Inconsistent service, poor organisation, arguments at the bar and lots of noise made this a far from perfect meal. At least the views were stunning.

Terrible experience, barking dogs every 10 seconds, owners and staff thinks it's ok to spoil others pub experience. Drunk up and left pronto.

Pretty views to St Michael’s Mount and friendly staff but v slow service and highly disappointing food (will teach me to order pizza in a pub …)

Lovely friendly staff, superb views (when the mist lifted). A menu for Gluten Free meals. The Fish and chips - both normal and gluten free - were delicious. Those chips are addictive. The only problem is the parking. The car park is small and Marazion car parks are not close by.

On holiday staying in Marazion and stumble across this lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere and a beautiful pub garden with fantastic views

A gem found by accident that had great food in a great location. We sat in the garden admiring the views of St Michaels Mount. My boys said they had the best burgers in Cornwall, whereas I had a special of BBQ pulled chicken burger which was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful, even when they had lots of steps to deal with to serve the food outside. Would defo recommend, but note it is quite a small pub so probably best to book.

Located a little way uphll from the very centre of this large village the Fire Engine is a strange building on 3, possibly 4 levels, and a very quiet, well maintained beer garden, which has some very special views. Managed for a local brewery, the "Fire engine" is a friendly place, and serves some excellent meals. It was a real pleasure to eat and drink here.

Through no fault of the pub, booking was cancelled on Saturday night owing to a technical fault. Rebooked for Monday and communication was brilliant. Food was superb (Hake perfect), care over dairy free and Chandler was a delight making everyone feel special. Can’t have been a better night. Great food, great drink and service. Thanks everso.

The food here is excellent and the service was spot on with very friendly and helpful staff. Good choices on the menu and reasonably priced. My wife had the crab which she loved and I had a very tasty burger. The portions are very generous...

We loved this place on our holiday in Marazion. 50 yards up the road, food was exceptional, the fish and chips on the last night was the best I've ever had. The Sunday roast was good too. The staff were all lovely, we enjoyed the...

Excellent food and great views at this delightful cosy pub. A good varied menu and all freshly cooked. The quality of the food is very good indeed cocktails are priced at £7 ! I love my Martini Expresso and they did me a fabulous decaff...

The food here was magnificent, whoever works in the kitchen must be passionate about food because it showed when our meals arrived. Service was disappointing, the staff were lovely but I think were spread a bit thin despite it appearing quiet inside the pub. The...

After finding the engine inn on a walk through Marazion decided to book and didn't regret,the food was delicious and a great selection of beers and ales, to top it all off the views in the beer garden are amazing, can't recommend enough, will be...

I booked a table through their website but never received a confirmation. Tried to ring twice but always on ansaphone. I’m not sure this entitles me to a review but, judging by recents posts, perhaps we had a lucky escape.

Having had this restaurant recommended, we decided to spend our last evening on holiday here. It started well, as we had a nice table with a view of St Michael's Mount. I ordered Spanish chicken and my husband chose the arancini, which was stodgy and...

We popped in on the off chance of having a roast despite not booking and they managed to squeeze us in between other bookings. Good selection of lagers and ales, and quite possibly the biggest Sunday roast we've seen in a while - I couldn't...

Well as a local, who likes to support our smaller pubs we thought we would take a trip to the pub. Walked in and stood at the bar at the top for 5 minutes as no one serving, was only two small tables eating so...

Quite frankly I am appalled by this pub. First of all, we were sat down at a wet table that hadn’t even been cleaned properly. We had to ask for our order to be taken as they took so long. We then received our starter...

We arrived at our accommodation and our host mentioned it was only a 20 minute walk into town and the restaurants in the town were very good. The first one we came to was the Fire Engine Inn. We had no booking but they managed...

Everything was spot on! Food and service was lovely. Benjaminge on the bar did a cracking job too. Will definitely be back.

We visited here back in 2021 & it was incredible however we didn’t realise there had been a change of ownership when booking for our anniversary this year (2023) & it was evident as soon as we walked in. I asked for their ‘best’ table...

Great food, great service, good price, unfortunately car was ‘keyed’ in the car park…will not return for this reason.

Having seen good reviews I had high hopes for lunch here. The beer garden has lovely views of St Michael's Mount and is relatively sheltered. I ordered a starter of Salt & Pepper Squid £9.50 and a side of chips £3.50. My husband ordered the...

An excellent meal, well prepared and served promptly. I had the sweet chilli chicken and my friend had the engine burger - both were very nice. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend this picturesque pub restaurant.

This was a evening meal that we we’re supposed to have , however the food was terrible . It has to be the worst meal I have ever had . Myself and my partner ordered the seafood linguine it had no sauce about 3 shrimps...

Met up with friends for Sunday Roast. Having not been since 2021 it was much anticipated.. The staff were very helpful, friendly & efficient but the food was not as good as previous visit. Portion size was good but it didn't taste freshly prepared and...

Lovely place to sit and admire the stunning views over to St Michael's Mount, we were lucky to get a low-season good weatherday. Good welcome, well-kept beer and the food was filling and tasty (if not a little too much pesto in the goat's cheese...

We ate here last week as we had walked past & looked nice. Cosy Inn with fantastic views. Emma & staff were so welcoming. Food is delicious, nice menu variety and generous portions. Felt so at home and all the group enjoyed everything they ordered....

Fantastic location, beautiful views, unfortunately let down by service of & quality of food. 4 of us dining, we were sat near the window, which was really cold as next to the door, which we asked if we could close but couldn’t as this was...

Having being regular visitors to The Fire Engine under its previous management and thoroughly enjoyed the food, we revisited just after the changeover. On that occasion things did not run smoothly in several areas and we put this down to teething problems. Fast forward to...

A lovely spot - wonderful sea views from the back windows, a wide ranging menu with generous portions at a reasonable price. Food was all delicious, especially the excellent chips. Really lovely service, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend booking - we went out of season...

We came here 3 times over the weekend and really enjoyed every visit. We were made welcome, the locals were friendly and our dogs were welcomed with us. Lovely meal and drinks. Will come back!

Staff welcoming and friendly. Excellent food with nice range of starters and mains. Dog friendly and cosy with the fire going.

As locals we often pop in for a drink or food. The food is always great and the staff are very friendly. Great to get a personal delivery home from Chandler with one of their pizzas on Friday night. Not feeling 100% I decided to...

Cosy pub with real fire and quirky decor, stunning views, great menu, and a warm welcome from accommodating staff. What more do you want from a pub!

great location, and great pub. So clean and decorated lovely, nice ambience with open fire. Couple of errors with the food order but overall value was good. The stuffing on the roast dinner was the worst stuffing i've ever had, stodgy with no flavour, but...

The Fire Engine Inn could easily be overlooked compared to other more prominent hostelries nearby but don’t pass it by! Firstly the views are stunning, we were there in January but I imagine the garden is a prime location for views of the Mount. Inside,...

Small cosy pub. Excellent customer service. Made to feel immediately welcome and comfortable. We were attracted initially by the menu and did not regret our choice upon receiving the food. Decent portions and good quality which is a rare combo these days. The pub was...

We had lunch-dinner on new year's afternoon. The restaurant was packed, friendly and polite waitresses and waiters, telling us straight away that there was a little waiting time. Good food, delicious salad served with the meatless burger.

We arrived in Marazion after a long drive and so did not fancy cooking. Luckily the Inn was a 2 minute walk away so was an easy choice. We arrived mid evening and the pub was very busy, even so we found a table (for...

Came in a couple of times just for a drink when walking in the area, very friendly staff and a good selection of beers, great views as well

Booked this place for Sunday lunch based solely on reviews and without having to ask, was assigned "the table with the best view" over the phone by the chap who we booked with. Arrived spot on midday and shown to our table which was indeed...

My family and I enjoyed a meal here the first night of our holiday. The service was excellent and the food fabulous. It was very busy, please don't go here i you are in a rush - is anyone in a rush on holiday? Ate...

We had Sunday lunch here both Sundays that we were in Marazion. Delicious Sunday lunch and very friendly happy staff, would highly recommend.

Awful food cold seafood served and poor staff attention, ruined what should have been a birthday meal, we are locals and will definitely not be recommending this to extended family or holiday makers in the future

A great little spot to savour the local brews and the amazing view. A traditional Inn with character and away from the crowds - well worth a stop.

We went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and sat out in the lovely sun trap beer garden overlooking the sea. I had the Arancini to start, which was fantastic, and HUGE! followed by the Chicken fire house pizza, which has to be the...

We really enjoyed our meal at the Fire Engine. It's not gastro, but not that far off and good value. Have every intention of going again. Don't change anything. We went (inside) in the evening, but I can imagine the garden as being a lovely...

Came for dinner last night and had a warm welcome. Relaxed and played cards drinking Tribute, then ordered the seafood chowder, salt and pepper squid and scampi basket. All quite reasonably priced, and the chowder was huge. The squid was a bit chewy for me...

Booked in for Sunday roast. First it arrived with no Yorkshire pudding without being informed prior to ordering. Veg was cold. Was taken back to be warmed up in microwave to come back cold again! Walked out in disgust!

Tolles authentisches Restaurant am Ortsausgang von Marazion. Sehr nette Bedienung und tolles Essen. Wir hatten einen Tisch mit Sicht auf...

Good food, attentive staff and great view from our table. Hake from the specials menu cooked perfectly and a very tasty fully loaded pizza came highly recommended. The fish chowder was very tasty too. Good value for money too.

Very accommodating, popped in this evening for supper and even though they were fully booked squeezed us in. Food and service good, price reasonable. Thank you.

Read the reviews & decided to visit whilst in marazion. Firstly the tables in the beautiful beer garden need looking at as they are unsteady to sit on . Myself& my son sat on one side& the table tipped up & drinks went everywere ....

Three of us visited the pub on spec as they were not taking bookings for that evening, upon arrival they were very honest and advised that the waiting time was was around 45 minutes for food as they were busy, we didn’t have an issue...

I only came here because it was just a few doors from my B&B and being tired I couldn’t be bothered to walk down the hill into the village. But now having been here I would walk up to it from the village however tired...

We visited on spec and weren’t disappointed. The prices are very reasonable for where you are. We choose to sit in the garden as it was very warm still and the views from the garden are fab. I had a burger with salad & chips...

Went the the fire engine in Marazion and well the prices was Very expensive I am on holiday and the locals was treated very bad they do not cater for the locals when in the winter the local are going to be one that keep...

This pub is absolutely fantastic! Lovely homemade food. A great atmosphere, very family friendly. Excellent, friendly staff. Entertainment on Friday was great too. Views from the pub garden are outstanding too! You can't go wrong with this venue!

We’re local to the area and went here today for a light lunch and drinks. It has a beautiful view and is a sweet pub with very friendly, polite staff. Our problem was the food. Baguettes with smoked bacon and egg. No mention of type...

Sunday lunch experience. Service was good.. however having accepted the reservation for 6 for Sunday lunch they seemingly hadn’t got enough left, so only two of us out of the six had the lunch with potatoes. It was poor, dry veg and meagre portions., some...

Read the mixed reviews, but still went and I have to say the staff were very friendly, We sat outside to eat, so ordered everything at the bar. The service was in good time and the food was tasty.

A really first rate meal in this pub. Food was really well cooked and presented. Staff very friendly but like other pubs in this current climate under staffed. Really recommend but make sure you book first.

Two weeks since our visit and we're still gushing about the food. The vegan fish and chips (yes, you heard me correctly) was incredible, but plenty of other options for omnivores as well. Superb food, friendly staff, and some stunning views of the sea both...

We visited here last May it was so nice we visited several times during our holiday so was really looking forward to visiting again this holiday. We had requested a window seat which we got and it was lovely. Went down hill from there! We...

My wife and I chanced a walk in request for food at the fire engine and thought we were fortunate when the friendly barmaid, Erica, was able to accommodate us. We new what we wanted as we had eaten the fish and chips there on...

Went for a meal here this evening. Food was amazing. I had seafood chowder & my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly, very well presented & good size portions. The staff were very amiable & attentive but not overbearing. There was a very relaxed...

Beautiful views and amazing food! I had the chicken and chorizo hot pot, it was sooo good, would definitely recommend!! Excellent service, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Will be returning.

Every summer myself and family visit Marazion and always look forward to visiting the Fire Engine for lovely food and a good local pub vibe - NOT THIS TIME. Recently being under new management has unfortunately led to the Fire Engine serving food of poor...

We have used the fire engine every year for the last 13 years at the beginning and end of our weeks stay at the wonderful Wheal Rodney campsite. Our meals were just not good and every plate was returned with half of the food remaining....

I was visiting Cornwall with family, and we wanted to eat in late afternoon. The staff at The Fire engine were extremely helpful and got us a table very quickly at short notice. They were friendly and welcoming to us, particularly the manager (I’m guessing...

Very pleasant hard working staff but the delay on food was awful- we had booked as well! we were just finishing our main course after 2 hours seated and had had to send the meal back once as it was lukewarm initially. They did take...

We had dinner at the Fire Engine. Firstly, it’s dog friendly, always a plus for us. Their real ales are well stored and very tasty. There is also parking, which is unusual in this part of Cornwall, so another tick. To the food: brilliant. I...

A great pub with great food in a great location. Friendly staff and owners. Food choice improved since taken over in March 2022. They deal with awkward and demanding customers very well, we feel so sorry for them when those sort of customers turn up...

Stunning views from beer garden. Drinks prices aren’t cheap. Two cokes and bottle rattler nearly £13. We just had drinks. The grub didn’t look too bad though. But the reason why we visited was just to have drinks and admire the views. Well worth it!

After reading the good reviews of this place we went for dinner this evening. We both ordered fish and chips. When you’re 100 metres from the sea we figured it would be good. Alas, both were very overcooked, dry, all batter no fish with waffle...
