The First and Last Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had a quick drink there on the way to lands end friendly staff.

Best pub from lands end to hayle

Glad to visit the pub and have a meal at a place that has a 400+ year history. Great food, great service and atmosphere. Loved it!

There's a reason.its called the first and last inn. Your first time in will be your last. Disappointing, sad looking, overpriced slop that gave two of our table upset stomachs (one violently so) and some of the side dishes appeared to be half eaten already. Ruined a nice weekend break to see friends, if I'm down there again I'm going to slap the "chef"

Wonderful location and customer service! Stop by!

Nice pint of their own larger 'first and last', nice pub and garden with play equipment. Went at Halloween and they had great events on for children.

The roast dinner is the best roast dinner I have had in my life. Complements to the Cheff!

You can't come this far down the country and not visit good pint lovely pub

Friendly stop on a walk around Lands End

Cozy place in a beautiful pub.. evening food was certainly tastefully served and delicious too

MENU BORING AN NOTHING SPECIAL PLUS FOR WHAT WAS ON IT EXPENSIVE AND YOU WOULD THINK A PROPER POT OF TEA AN MUG OF COFFEE WOULD BE FORTH COMING, SO HAD COFFEE & TEA AN LEFT VERY POOR AN SUBSTANDARD

Had a good crab soup, and a great locally brewed ale. Update: another visit, excellent fish and chips and a fun pub quiz. Lovely pub, proper traditional

Lovely pub, was very busy when we went but the food was above and beyond what we expected for a roast, It was incredible although I ordered a side of cauliflower cheese and I got enough for four! Haha but I'll never complain about over feeding At £15 for a huge roast I'd say it's ideal

We were here this afternoon. It's a lovely old pub. The young man behind the bar gave us a very friendly welcome. We had two ales and ordered something to eat. My wife had jacket potato with chicken and bacon, I had fish and chips. The food was very good, in fact it was the best fish and chips so far on the trip. Fresh fish fillet (no bones!) and crispy chips. The fish came with a tartar sauce, very flavourful. My compliments to the chef. It was a very pleasant stay.

We seen this inn on the way to lands end, decided to stop off on the way back for some lunch. Absolutely fantastic place with loads of character and an interesting story about its history. Food was gorgeous, all home cooked. Really enjoyed my visit thanks.

The roast beef was fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

I'm not surprised the place was pretty empty given the prices. They have gone up a lot since my last visit earlier this year. £6.50 for a pint of Guinness (a 12% increase on the price in January). £18 for a burger. I'd expect to see these prices in London, not a pub in a small village in rural England. I probably wouldn't return while the prices are overinflated.

£18 for a burger! Otherwise it was very cozy and friendly.

What a little gem!! We went here after quite a trudge along the coast path from Lands End after spotting it on the journey in!! We did rock up a little late but they were more than happy to provide us with some very delicious fare, I had ham, egg & chips and it wasn't so much ham, more like gammon because it was sliced so thickly!! So typically Cornish portions combined with a typically Cornish welcome. Overall very impressive, I can thoroughly recommend!!

Sunday evening, pub quiz going on. They had ran out of most things on the menu but what we had was good grub. Made most welcome.

Very nice inside. Food is good quality and well priced

Very nice pub for a drink, didn’t get to dine, but would

It's alright for a pint. I can't comment on the quality of the food, but the menu doesn't look up to much, and it seems very expensive for what it is

Lovely atmosphere, food was great

Nice little pub just outside of lands end, dog friendly too.

Friendly staff , welcoming but food was a disappointment . Quite pricey and was microwaved ! Had jacket potato and couldn’t eat the skin it was so overdone ☹️

Nice pub but disappointed that only four dishes on the mains menu and one out of stock at 6 o clock Food was good and lots of beers to choose from , fairly expensive for what you get

The food was not good. I had mushroom pasta which did but tasted of anything. Also had the vegetarian wrap 🌯 also not so good. Quite costly. But it is a tourist location so tourist prices, so would not recommend it unfortunately.

Pub food. Drink is ok, food is ok only after you drink. Not the best to be honest. If you have one other choice, do not rush to dine at this pub.

Very grateful to be able to just turn up and get a table. Staff were friendly. Food (burgers, fish and chips, scampi) was reasonable but some items (peas/mushy peas) were tepid and although staff replaced, they were just as cold. Disappointed with the side of onion rings, which were similar to frozen ones you get from Tesco. Would I recommend?. Not sure… not great value for money but popular area so maybe this is normal.

Beautiful pub just before visiting lands end

We visited Land’s End and booked a table for a Sunday roast, which certainly didn’t disappoint. Claire and her fantastic team looked after us and filled us up before we undertook our very long drive home. The beef roast was absolutely delicious and inexpensive. Thank you for a lovely meal.

So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!

Best Fish and chips I have had, super fresh and tasty!

Lovely old pub with very good food and very friendly staff.

Fantastic pub with excellent choice of beverage and tasty food

Staff somewhat inattentive. Would only serve drinks for the beer garden in plastic receptacles. My Wife’s lemonade was presented in what looked something used by babies. Food - dirty fries - a long way from the best I’ve had.

Lovely pub fish and chips were excellent staff were very polite and service was quick

Great inn with a lovely atmosphere

Our dining experience was deeply disappointing from the start. We were handed glasses that were appallingly unhygienic—one was smeared with oily fingerprints and had some kind of hair on the rim, while the other had red lipstick stains that were impossible to miss. It’s baffling how the staff overlooked such glaring hygiene issues. When the food finally arrived, it was barely edible. We ordered the seafood linguine and chicken wings, both of which were shockingly subpar. The linguine was overcooked to a mushy consistency, devoid of any flavor whatsoever. We had to add salt ourselves just to coax out some semblance of taste. The seafood was clearly frozen and poorly prepared—the fish was so dry it resembled soggy cardboard, and the mussels were utterly flavorless, reduced to rubbery, chewy bits. The chicken wings were equally disappointing—the most dismal I’ve ever encountered. We resorted to using the Heinz barbecue sauce from the table just to make them palatable. This experience was a complete letdown, marred by careless hygiene practices and utterly tasteless food. I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a decent meal.

Friendly staff, with a great choice of food and drink.

A lovely pub that allows dogs, but they had run out of two mains on their short menu. And the service was pleasant but very slow.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit after going to lands end. friendly staff, definitely recommend visiting

Great fish and chips Love it here. The fish in the well are cool

For the bunless First and Last Burger, I will say the portions are too small for a hiker and the Potato fries may be suitable for mass patrons but not for me, However, the Halloumi Chips were given a great kick aas aftermeal which is slightly on low carb diet friendly but not keto friendly.It is still worth for a try in once on a lifetime. I also will suggest replacing house salad or Halloumi Chips instead of Chips instead.

My boyfriend and I visited here before going to Lands End Plastic cups (£1 deposit). Great idea, for garden useage. I had a half a peach Rattler. Delicious. Not very busy at all. Sat outside in sun.

You would eat well here. Since the kitchen is apparently overwhelmed, only guests who have reserved in advance are served. This is very strange because there were still free places. The staff didn't make any effort and we were turned away quite unfriendly. There weren't even any drinks to drink outside in the sunshine. That's a no go for such a really great company! The staff simply didn't care.

Great historic and unique pub .

They are dog friendly pub, with a fair variety of food and drinks. We had the calamari rings, with jalapeno poppers a d cheesy chips, and they were all delicious ( the chips were the best I ever had ). The atmosphere is cozy, with sofa and stools seating. Also they have seating outside, bowls of water for our furry friends, and treats inside. Lovely!

Excellent pub - very characterful with an interesting but if history to it. Decent amount of space inside, which is needed due to how popular it is. Food and staff are excellent and feels like a wonderful, relaxing place to enjoy a good meal after a bice walk or day on the beach

Had a well needed rest and food here after a long 19KM walk. The fish and chips and salted caramel tarte were delicious and well needed! Decent amount of space (managed to get a cosy table in the corner) and good, quick service and friendly staff. It started getting busy at 5.30pm and I can understand why. Overall brilliant pub. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Only stopped for a light lunch as visiting family in the area. The dirty fries were amazing, before a stroll down to Lands End and back along the cliff tops to Sennen Cove.

Good standard pub food and drink. Better than down at lands end

Didn't eat here. Just had a few drinks Staff were very welcoming However, we managed to leave a couple of jackets behind Calked r pub and they were able to put the jackets aside for us which was great. We picked them up a few days later The food that we saw being served looked very good

Too expensive to dine in with the family, limited menu, but lovely pub

I’m not up sure I was expecting much given this is literally the only pub (from what I could work out) near the very over rated tourist area of lands end. I fully expected it to be over run with tourists and us being rushed in and out. That was not the case on the two occasions we visited here. We had lunch both times and while on the first attempt they were out of a lot of menu items, the second time we went was for Sunday lunch and I have to say, it is one of the best pub Sunday lunches we’ve had in a long time. It was truly delicious.

Fantastic food. Really freadly staff.

Wow! For the pub food the quality and the appearance are quite impressive, nice play area for the children loved it! I would like to dine here again and enjoy a drink in the garden with my family ❤️

We were having some drinks here and didn't order any food as just popped in for watching football Euro2024, was amazing atmosphere especially the feeling that it was the last pub on this street and the very end of that road was only cliffs and the sea.🤩

Even bought a T-shirt to remember our visit

Lovely historic traditional pub, welcoming, comfortable, good menus, polite staff, food was amazing!! My teen daughter is Gluten & dairy free, there was plenty for her to choose from, she said her battered Fish was the best she'd ever had! Staff were great with knowledge of GF & DF and gave us a clear allery file without us asking. Portions were big food was fresh and very tasty. Dogs very welcome.

Lovely little pub, busy for a Monday, but fab, loved reading about it's history too after being to Lands End 🥰

Poped in for a drink after going to Lands End.

My fish and chips was very nice but a bit undercooked in the middle. The lasagne was very overcooked unfortunately. The Dog enjoyed it. The place is lovely and the staff are really nice but there was a man in (maybe a regular) who was having a very loud phone conversation about doing drugs so that spoiled the atmosphere a bit

Dinner was beautiful and enough to fill you up

We were seated, given menus and paid for drinks and then told five minutes later they weren't selling food due to being booked out by a big preordered booking. Confusing experience

Beautiful old pud stemmed in history.

One of the oldest and most famous pubs in the entirety of great Britain. Feels like a wetherspoons.

The menu on the Internet was totally different to the food available at the pub. The lasagne tasted very nice but sadly was a very small portion. The chips were not very nice, no taste to them. Would not visit again

Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Only stopped for a quick beer while on a day out but well worth the visit!!

Great Sunday roast 👍 we booked in advance. Great pub lovely staff

Sub-average pub and food. I cannot recommend. They fry even the patty of the veggie burger which then was an unrecognizable and untastable brick of not-meat. The fries were OK. The normal burger was OK but nothing special about it. They don't trust their guests because outside you don't get a glass for your pint. You have to drink it from a plastic cup which you have to pay a deposit of one pound.

Nice little pub full of atmosphere.

Just drinks in the beer garden, lovely little pub and the church next door is well worth a visit

Nice food , needed to be hotter. Friendly staff , service was slow but not they’re fault as you could see they were understaffed.

Cold coffees after 10 minutes of waiting and the Berry crumble were never served. Half an hour of waiting for nothing! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS INN!!! 😠😤😭😡

Had the Sunday roast. All good, no complaints.

1/6/2024-Saturday. The name of this Inn caught our eyes. We decided to make a stopover to this Inn for a light meal. This Inn has a very unique history, and once inside the Inn. The atmosphere is cosy and peaceful. Excelent Service . The food portion is generous and delicious. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a great traditional pub with lovely food and great service. It’s got a lovely atmosphere, plenty of staff, outside seating, decent kids play park and lots of car parking which is free. Fish and chips was fresh and delightful. It’s only 5 min drive from Lands End.

Nice wee pub by lands end ...stopped here a while ago for a drink heading back from Lands end ...staff were friendly enough

We lucked out on a busy night with a great band on. It was really busy and friendly and fun. The food was good except one of us had pizza which was terrible (tasted like they used near tomato puree for the base). We did mention this to the waiter but he didn’t really say I’ll tell the chef or here’s a free pint or anything but it was a really busy night and the other 3 meals were great and these things happen. Staff were friendly and the booze was good. Overall we had a great night. Recommend.

We didn't have food, but they found us a table to come in out of the rain for a drink and a game of cards and the atmosphere was great.

The First And Last Inn pub in England was absolutely amazing I had a pint of Korev and the staff were extremely polite well worth the visit and yes we will be back.

This well located inn has an interesting history, nice atmosphere and character, quick food service, ample parking out back, and a kids play area. The fish and chips were quite nice (so I hear), and the margarita pizza was ok (nice size; just ok flavour). Toilets were decent, and prices about average for an English pub these days.

Good pizzas. Fair selection of beers

Nice pub, great atmosphere but my word, £11.85 for a glass of wine is just ridiculous. It wasn't even sparkling, just plain old sauvignon blanc!

Nice location, nice weather, Friday evening 8:00 p.m. - and then there is no food! Very disappointing. But with the sticky tables, it's probably better that way. Then go to the Success Inn in Sennen Cove - recommended!

Fantastic fish and chips, 5*****

It's a must when visiting lands end

What a find,all the tourists go up the road to lands end,very nice but overpriced. This place quaint and cosy,affordable,food great,service from Leilani. Met the owner a lovely lady. I'm from Oz but would definitely come here again and they have nice rooms to stay in if you desire, Better than Penzance.

Table very dirty sticky dogs on pub not every one like dogs and special wen you eat end very expensive for a pub compere with London price this one will cost between £30 and £40

Not a lot of choice for food but the fish and chips was very nice Staff very nice and helpful

Super cozy. Tasty burger with Guinnes

Trading on its location. Over-priced, sticky tables, barman more interested in his phone than serving and tried to over charge for a pint.

I don't know if it was because it was near the end of their service time, we arrived about 6:30, but the food was disappointing. The pub itself is interesting but staff not real welcoming.

Food to die for lovely inn definitely coming back before holiday ends

Stopped here unsure if this would be our ‘First and Last’ visit but pleasantly surprised! Friendly, attentive staff and a reasonably priced menu. Decent portion sizes. Didn’t have dessert but choices looked tasty. Soft drinks seem expensive but not something this pub is alone in.

The atmosphere wasn't bad, however I noticed that there was little care about customers. It was our first time in Cornwall and we had no idea that in many restaurants you have to place your order at the counter; so we waited for a long time at our table before realizing that we had to order at the counter. Food wasn't bad, I'd say average. The very good thing is that there were many gluten free options (bun included!!) and this was great for me, since I am celiac. I tried a vegetarian hamburger (it had a strong flavor), coleslaw (very yummy) and fried potatoes. I also tried gluten free garlic bread and this wasn't bad. This place is a comfortable place for a meal in the "middle of nowhere".

The food here is very good. We came for the Sunday roast in the evening, but they had run out of 2 of the 4 choices and apologised, and gave us free drinks. The service was a little slow but the atmosphere made up for it. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to give it a try.

We walked from lands end across the coastal path and had a lovely welcoming stop for lunch at the first and last pub. The bar staff were very friendly and helped with queries quickly, the food arrived within 20/25 minutes and was really tasty. The atmosphere was great, plenty of space for our children and dogs
