The Fourways Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had dinner here last night with friends, a lovely village, locals pub with exceptional food. Between us we had the ducking, beef casserole and steak, all very good, plenty of flavour and well presented. Service was good, as made to feel very welcome and welcome from moment we stepped through the door. A great experience and great value for money.

Staying in the village for a few days so the 3 of us staggered up the hill early one cold January evening. Very warm welcome. Good selection of dishes on the menu. My steak was cooked blue to perfection. Beef Casserole with mash superb and the duck with orange sauce lovely and moist Very tasty. Local beers and ciders were very well kept. Will definitely be back.

A proper country pub in the heart of the quaint village of St Minver. The staff are friendly and the food is good and reasonably priced. A good range of ales and ciders. If I have a complaint it is that they don't open on Sundays.

Good Value, Well cooked and good sized portions, No complaints at all I think we have tried most of the meals between us and all delicious.

had steak and chips and pint of tribute, all ok and reasonably priced, family had fish and chips and salmon with salad and new potatoes.

If your staying in polzeath and want some tasty homemade grub rather than the overpriced and overrated establishments locally then this pub is well worth a visit

Had an evening meal here wilst staying in St Minver. The food was extremely basic and quite forgetable!

We always eat at the Fourways Inn when visiting the nearby St Minver holiday park This time reinforced my liking....a beautifully kept pint of Tribute, inexpensive and tasty food ( I agree with another Reviewer that the curry is great). All in all a lovely uncomplicated and enjoyable pub - long may it remain as it is. If walking up from the Holiday Park take a torch as the lane is very dark and puddly at the bottom !

Visited a couple of times for a drink as we were staying nearby for a week and 6 of us plus a dog ate there on the last night. Excellent food and beer and also friendly good service from the owners and our young lady server. The streak I had was one of the best for a while. Wished we’d had eaten there more than just the once. Straightforward good food and beer. Recommended.

Reservations are needed in this Covid 19 era to ensure you get a table. I would describe this Inn as a gastro pub, as the venue had plenty of tables full of diners and offered an excellent menu. Drinks and food are ordered at the bar counter and your food is delivered to your table. We had BBQ glazed pork ribs and a chicken tikka masala curry. Both were quickly served, hot and well presented. The pork meat fell off the bones and easily eaten by hand with the aid of a finger bowl. The curry was delicious and served with a crispy poppadom. My only disappointment was that the ice cream sundae was commercially produced and served within its plastic cone. Still, the staff were very friendly, engaging and we had a fun time.

Meal by the fire Our group popped in for evening meal as we where staying at St Minver holiday camp. Food was good, standard pub food. Atmosphere was great proper traditional pub, staff where really friendly drinks reasonably priced. We even popped back after midnight New Year’s Eve for couple more rounds before calling it a night.

An old fashioned cosy Cornish Inn, full of local characters. The owner Jamie is very welcoming. The food is standard pub fare, adequate but not outstanding, was of the impression the Cod fillet on the classic fish and chips was brought in pre-battered, and not freshly prepared on the premises as the menu states. The newly refurbished accommodation looks lovely but needs a bit of finishing. The bathroom door latch sticks, the locking mechanism into the room doesn't quite fit resulting in almost getting locked in the room twice. The cleaning staff need to be more thorough, the shower screen was not cleaned and covered in old soap suds and water marks, the drawers are not checked to see if previous guests have left anything behind ! A good port in a storm, literally in our case, but could be outstanding with a bit more work.

This pub serves really excellently cooked food, very reasonably priced and is very dog friendly. Super staff and very quick service. Best to book for a table, especially at weekends. Our only criticism is that the menu never seems to change.

We booked however it wasn't busy when we got there, they had a little veggie and vegan menu with 4 options, 2 of these vegan, I had the penang curry which had loads of veggies in, rice and a popoadum, which was nice, the food was out quickly. Great, friendly local, and so good to see the labelled vegan options, always a worry going to pubs like this as often left with chips and salad.

We had a warm and friendly welcome and the service was efficient. We chose from the specials board and our food was tasty and good value for money.

Great village pub. Mix of locals and tourists like us.Good draft beers and they serve a fine pint of Tribute.We had dinner here and the Chicken Tikka Masala was outstanding, simply the best that I had ever had anywhere! Comes with rice and a papadum with mango chutney. Unbeatable value at only £8.95, We came back the following evening. Had the Chicken Jalfrezi which was also good, but not as good as the Chicken Tikka Masala. The meals were good value, so something to bear in mind if on a tight budget. Worth driving 3 miles out of Rock for.

Friendly staff and popular. Food a bit ordinary but cheapish. The food came worryingly quickly, but I'm not sure that is a valid criticism! I don't want Gastro, but would probably try somewhere else next time.

Visited this pub on a Friday night in November whilst staying at nearby Parkresorts holiday park. It is possible to walk to pub from holiday park, but as this was a wet November night we drove to it. When we got inside there was a few locals there who were friendly. The food was good and plentiful, but such a lovely pub and with a log burner in the bar for some reason they only had one gas fire lit,we did not stay too long after eating our meal as it was a bit chilly. This is just a pub doing food and not a restaurant so no need to book a table.

The surprise for us that the standard was better than we expected. The service was quick and efficient and every one was cheerful. The food was exceptionally good, I had a fillet steak ordered Rare and it arrived perfectly cooked. My wife had Sea Bass caught that day and whicj she really liked.All in all a really nice meal and a venue that really should be tried.

Proper pub grub in a proper local pub Good old fashioned pub grub nice portions freshly cooked , don’t come here if your looking for gastro pub dinning but if you want a good honest plate of food at reasonable price this is for you

Lovely pub had a meal hear which l thought was avarage but still a nice pub to pop into for a drink.

We ate in this pub summer 2017 and the food we had was excellent, the bar was busy and the restaurant packed. Sadly that chef has moved on and the menu has reverted back to 'pub grub' which is fine if it's well executed, nothing wrong with a lovely plate of fresh fish and chips or if you just want to experience a retro 70's vibe (!) but if you are looking for something a bit more interesting then I would try elsewhere. They are praised for their 28 day matured steak, most of us chose this as the best option on offer and made it very clear we wanted either rare or blue cooked steaks. They do seem to cook a lot of steak and chips so one would have thought the cooking would be spot on. Sadly they were all medium rare and several steaks verging on being cooked well done...we didn't have the heart to send then back as that seemed such a waste. We left at about 9pm and the restaurant area was almost deserted. Pity, why go back to pub grub? and not even well executed pub grub!

We ate in the Fourways Inn the other night, Jamie has full control of the Kitchen with a new chef, new menu at very reasonable prices has been printed. The Steaks we had were B****Y fantastic 28 days matured and big enough for the heartiest appetite, chips cooked to perfection mushrooms, peas & salad. Saw the fish come out & may have to change the habit of a lifetime and try it!

Ordered farmers platter ! Was told we had to wait as fresh bread hadn’t been delivered (12pm) and the lady didn’t know what she had because she had been away! Lady ended up walking through with Tesco baguettes half hour after we ordered !

We ate here on 30th June 201i and were disappointed in every aspect. From service to food we found it uninspiring and only just scraped by as ok. Most disappointed.

100 meters from holiday park: excellent lovely : lovely friendly staff and locals offering good quality pub grub; very dog friendly: would definitely recommend

Warm pub, warm welcome, great food. What more could you want??? Recommended place to visit in North Cornwall

The Fourways has atmosphere, excellent food has not become a silly gastropub. The staff are friendly and welcoming even to your dog - wonderful!

The Fourways has been my eatery of choice for many years, The Food, Atmosphere & people just make me want to return again and again, Slight changes to the menu (curry back on) Just need the Salmon & Camembert. Steaks that are hard to beat anywhere (ask for chunky chips) & not forgetting the Warm welcome.

The food was always good here but with new kitchen staff it is now great! The steaks are really tasty, the fillet was so tender, definitely no steak knife required!! The pork fillet & belly was really tasty, especially with the dauphinoise potatoes! The desserts are really good too, so leave room!!

Friendly people, not a very big menu however nice food. Lasagne was homemade £11, fish & chips £12. Cosy pub and best of all dog friendly ☺

I have a confession to make - last time I had a pint here I was a year under legal drinking age...find out which year The Doors "Light my fire" was originally released and you'll know how long ago that was...anyway, we popped in just before 6pm on a weeknight to find just a handful of locals at the bar but a very warm welcome from the waitress, got comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed a good pub meal of fresh fish, along with a couple of pints of Cornish Best Bitter. Really relaxed, a pub with a restaurant which doesn't try to be anything else. Oh, and even if you're a non-smoker, it has possibly the nicest outdoor smoking area I've seen!

Brilliant pub with lovely staff and great food. It would be my dream local. Will be missed when we go home.

Great pub, great food, great atmosphere, great for families, great landlord, very welcoming, was made to feel like a local not a tourist, again didn't book and was told it's very busy so may have to wait, no problem, 5 minutes later we had a table and could order, perfect all round

I've been visiting the pub forever and this June went for dinner, the chef has changed and the food is excellent, the steaks were always good but now the other dishes are just as good - well worth a visit.

Popped in for a couple of drinks and it was very busy, however we were served quickly and had a...

3 excellent meals here on separate occasions. Steaks very well cooked, curry OK for an English Pub, and Thai Kiev's...

we stayed for 3 nights (couple with small dog) in July. rooms are basic, but clean and everything you need. tea / coffee / biscuits replenished daily. We ate in the pub every night, and had something different each evening. Neither of us had a bad meal. We enjoyed taking with other holiday makers and the bar staff / locals, and enjoed playing pool and darts.

Bus stop outside, very pleasant modern conversion to a traditional village Pub, Beers good, restaurant looks good, very popular, rain prevented us from going back later for meal,

We didn't book a table here so were advised to wait at the bar which was fine, it seemed a little unorganised at times the man behind the bar was a bit vague about whether he would be able to give us a table or not,, then another couple came in asking for a table and the 3 staff hadn't been communicating very well about who was next in line for a table- we waited about 45 mins which is fine as we had not booked. I had a lovely cheeseburger which was very tasty, not sure what the cheese was but it was lovely!! Partner enjoyed his food too. This is a typical country pub environment and the food was nice.

We went past the Four Ways Inn and it looked interesting and sign said it was serving food. It was great the staff friendly, the atmosphere was just what we were looking for. An olde world pub in a quaint little village. A great pint of Cornish Best.The Pork was the best meal we have had in a pub for a long long time. Well worth the 30 min wait we were informed of - due to being cooked to order. It was cooked to perfection.

We booked a meal here after having a few pints the night before. The pub is a normal place for a small place. The staff were very friendly and attracted us back again.We ordered pork fillet and skate wing and were advised that a 30 minute wait was ahead of us because of the pork order. The meal arrived on time and both meals were delicious. Fiendly staff, great meal and only dropped a 'star' because of mediocre Merlot wine.We booked again for 2 nights ahead.

Called in after the Royal Cornwall Show. What a treat! A buzzing pub atmosphere with locals and visitors alike.Beer is as fresh as a daisy. Food is terrific!Three long serving gents behind the bar are great and the girls sorting the food are attentive and efficient.The place has fruit machine, pool table, darts and a juke box! What a pub should be!Pass this place by at your own risk but stop and be delighted!!

Cosy local with letting rooms, good food and beers. Have been here many years ago and basically it's not changed. Was made to feel welcome chose the steak and pork dishes for mains and they were both good.

This is a lovely country pub with friendly staff and wonderful food.A place we would eat at again. The steak was melt in your mouth and the sticky toffee pudding was very yummy. They do not open on a Sunday, which was a shame for us!

Can't speak highly enough about this place. Visited tonight and there is a high standard of food. There were five of us and we had pâté and moules for starters. The skate too was plentiful and delicious in a buttery sauce. The pork was good too and the vegetables really beautifully cooked. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Service too was good. Thank you.

I do not think the menu has changed in 20 years, we have been coming to the Fourways for longer than i care to remember, my wife always said same old same old. Now it has changed i miss some of the offerings (No ham n chips, Gammon, salmon n Camembert or the fab Curry) but what is now on the Menu is cooked to absolute perfection a credit to the New Chef. This is going to cause a problem though, I now have to check they are all as good as they look. Oh what a Chore!

My hubbie and our daughter and me went to the fourways inn for an evening meal as we had heard there was a new chef in situ. We weren't disappointed, we all had a beautiful meal. I had belly pork and pork fillet served with braised cabbage and dauphinois potato with a cider sauce, which was wonderful. My hubbie had a steak, cooked to perfection and extremely tender. Our daughters a vegetarian and there was an option which sounded lovely but she opted to have a double portion of a roasted beetroot and feta salad starter. That looked wonderful too. Later we had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream that perfectly finished off the meal. The service was excellent, very professional. All in all we had a lovely evening on a very busy quiz night at the fourways.

Excellent dog friendly pub in a quaint village only a few miles from Rock . We booked accommodation for three nights at a very reasonable budget cost. The room was warm and cosy with electric kettle, coffee, tea and biscuits provided . We had a room with a shower but others have a bath so you need to check when booking. My favourite meal was chicken tikka which was very tasty and I ordered a side of chips to go with it. There is a pool table in the bar and a large TV screen and a juke box and quiz machine and a log burner which keeps it nice and warm , There is a separate restaurant area where dogs are not allowed . The pub can be accessed from Parkdean caravan site and is only about 100 metres walking distance .The staff and locals are very friendly and I would recommend this pub to anyone.

we stopped here after a long walk when the rain became a down pour .they served a very nice coffee in a very quite room.very friendly and polite .they do meals here but we did not stop for that .

Some of the most recent reviews have painted The Fourways as an "unfriendly locals pub" I have to say the opposite, whenever we visit the locals sat at the bar always say "hello" just think without the locals this place would be very quiet over the winter. A couple of times over the summer the steaks were slightly smaller than we remembered, this has reverted back to normal had one last week that made even me smile. The Curry, Tasty as ever and my daughters favourite Smoked Salmon & Camembert, a feast, all cooked as we like it. cannot wait to come back again.

We was staying at the local holiday park so one day my daughter and I walked to this village pub in St Minver to have a drink. On entering the greeting by the guy behind the bar was not particularly friendly or welcoming and all the tables were reserved so there was no where to sit. Eventually we sat down at one of these reserved tables and was told quite bluntly by this barman after a few minutes that we would have to move as it was reserved. We finished our drink but decided that food must be good as all the tables were reserved we would book a table for the following evening for my wife, daughter and myself. I said I would like a table for 7.30pm if possible to which the barman replied 'we start at 7pm and would expect you here by 7.30' I was little taken aback but just said fine and left. On arrival for our meal the next day this barman again unfortunately served us and once I advised him I had booked he said your table is round the corner and left us to our own devices. After the family sat down I went back to the bar again and ordered some drinks and asked for a menu from the owner, I think, who was much more pleasant. My daughter and I each ordered the curry and my wife the trout. Well the curry was served in a bowl of stodgy rice with the curry slopped on the top and my wife's trout was still pink and undercooked and had to be sent back. Neither dishes looked very appealing to say the least. My daughter did not eat her curry at all and I left half of mine and when a young guy asked about the meal I just said it was Ok rather than start an argument and we left the pub never to return again. I would recommend this pub for a quick drink but there are certainly better places to eat in the area based upon our experience

Stayed at nearby St Minver Holiday Park. Visited with my wife for a meal. Nice friendly pub with decent pub food. Would definately recommend a visit.

Friday and Saturday night busy but not uncomfortably so, with visitors and locals alike. Bar staff and locals very welcoming and willingly to share knowledge if needed ( i.e. not invasive just good old fashioned friendly)Friday night had live music played at a level you could enjoy listening to and still chat to friends and family. Differnt ales on offer and all tastes catered for. If you want food on a Saturday night you need to book as very popular. Sunday, pub is closed between 3 & 7, quieter but not dead by a long shot. Food was plentiful, decent portions and cooked well, was difficult to chose when seeing plates going past. Would thoroughly recommend, we didn't stay here however accommodation is on offer, gets booked up and I'm sure the welcome and service is equal to that of the pub.

Went to this pub lots of times whilst holidaying in nearby holiday park, recently, its a great pub, staff very friendly, internet connection, which we couldn't get in the holiday park, we went here a few years ago and they had a massive log fire, brilliant.

Very popular and friendly pub (used by the camp site nearby), good choice of food on the menu, although the menu is a bit dated. Good local beers on tap.

this pub was a saviour for when we stayed at parkdean. the food is excellent, and some great local beers too

We went on a Saturday evening and had not booked, mistake! We waited and it cleared by about 8.30 pm. Great selection of beers and a lovely atmosphere so waiting was enjoyable. The food was very good and well priced. We had a great night out.We returned on a Tuesday evening, which was quieter. The atmosphere was good again but the food not so good. We explained to the very friendly waiting staff who said "no problem!" with a smile. I suppose it's down to the cuts of meat and who is cooking.

We visited The Fourways again this year, after visiting every year. The quality and greatness does not change!Great selection of food- pub food.Examples are cod/ chips, plaice, ribs, butterfly chicken, chilli, curry, ham egg and chips, salads, baguettes, etc- the list is endless! Good service too, and the pub allows dogs. Tends to be busy so booking is advisable to avoid disappointment.Can't wait to visit again next year!

We went to this inn, at the end of a long day walking the Coast Path. The building is attractive, with lots of rooms, bringing to mind the kind of place smugglers might have used. The menu was imaginative with lots of choice without being overwhelming.We chose the lamb shank, the trout, and the fish and chips, all of which were delicious. A good selection of beers (Tribute being our choice) and wine were available. Service was efficient and friendly, and the the whole experience was rather enhanced by the dog-friendliness of the place.Skip the snooty places that abound in this part of corner of Cornwall and have a great evening here, instead.

Het is een typische plattelands pub met lekker bier, goed eten, prima sfeer, kortom zeer aan te bevelen.

A good local pub / restaurant to St Minver. Good Food and service - traditional opening and closing hours. Good to see they now have a payment card machine.

We ate here whilst staying at nearby st minver caravan park.Good food and a friendly welcome what more could you ask for.Served good pub basics well.

Had ANOTHER fabulous meal at the Fourways, all staff and regulars welcoming as normal, we ordered (my) steak and a chicken Balti from the specials blackboard over the fire. when the cutlery was brought it was by a young guy who was extremely pleasant and a breath of fresh air(not saying the previous were not) It was so good we eat again before having to return home a few days later, we ordered the steak and a gammon this time both were excellent and i am sure the steak was bigger than the first, people were gawping as they passed :) thanks again Jamie, Richard&Dave.

When arrived to book in, be gentleman behind bar was not welcoming and felt like we were intruding on his time (sat lunchtime). Said he was own his own and seemed very vague as to procedure of booking in. Rooms in separate section next to you pub and we were given keys to let ourselves in and locate room. When we asked what time breakfast was the next morn we were told breakfast not served on a Sun! This was not mentioned on the website. Sun morning we had to drive into rock to find somewhere to eat breakfast, could only find a sandwich bar. Room was very basic and dusty, light in shower did not work and had trouble opening windows. All in all not a very good experience, thankfully this was for one night only. Would not recommend to anyone.

Out of the way pub away from the crowded coastal pubs. Good beer and decent food. Just beware you're a visitor and the locals like it the way it is.

Excellent pub with lovely home made food at good prices, friendly atmosphere and a short walk from the Parkdean where we were stopping.

Great little pub the food was lovely ,we ate there 3 nights , I recommend the lasagne , lamb shank and the steak, Staff are friendly service was very good and this pub is DOG FRIENDLY

We went to the Fourways as it was the closest pub to our campsite (Dinham Farm... WARNING Do not walk from campsite to pub, V.dangerous!!). It was a sunny Sunday evening. The pub doesn't open until 7 on Sundays, but is a joy once you get in! Friendly, helpful barmen (one of whom I believe was the landlord), well kept ales, lagers and ciders (a range of each) and the food we ordered was delicious, home cooked grub! Food was around £10 each for main courses, highly recommend the casserole! We will be back!

Went in on holiday with my family. They accommodated us easily. The food was well cooked pub grub. The atmosphere was friendly and kids/dogs welcomed. They had a snooker table and seemed quite busy which is always a good sign.

We spent our last night of our holiday in the pub and our only regret was that we hadn't visited the pub earlier in the week. Our booking for 12 was accommodated without fuss and we were made to feel very welcome on arrival. We ate good home cooked food and listened to two very talented musicians in the early part of the evening. The children were welcome to use the pool table and as the evening progressed we joined the band as they sang a wide rendition of songs that everyone knew. This is a gem of a local pub and others could learn from it. Warm welcome, great food, buzzing atmosphere, excellent musicians, what a Friday night. Thank you to everyone at The Fourways.

We were staying in a lovely holiday cottage from Helpful Holidays - The Grooms Cottage down by the church and we decided to walk to the pub for a meal. Very traditional pub, full of character and the food was very good. There were five of us and we each had something different and all enjoyed our meal. Extra plus, dogs welcome

We recently returned from a Mon-Fri visit to Parkdean Caravan Site in St Minver - we visited the pub during our last visit 18 months ago and thought we would pop in again for a drink.This is 'my kind of pub' - full of character, very welcoming hosts, lots of regular locals come and go to (a good sign I think). It has traditional oak beams, slate floors, typical pub games (ie pool table, dart board and a few slot machines), with pleasant enough music playing in the background.We popped in for a drink the first night then returned to eat for two evenings during our stay. The food is absolutely top quality. The first evening I ate the rainbow trout with almonds and my husband had the steak - my meal was beautifully cooked and was served with a beautiful salad - my husband said the steak was one of the nicest he had tasted (this was served with chips and mushrooms and peas) - on the downside his portion size was so large he couldn't actually finish it!A few evenings later we returned and this time order the lamb shank - oh my goodness this is absolutely to die for - a very generous shank served with potatoes and crushed vegetables, absolutely swimming in a delicious mint gravy. We are still talking about this meal having returned home! On both occasions we drank a very pleasant Rose D'Anjou bottle of wine (reasonably priced) and my husband also sampled the draft Tribute ale.All in all, if you are looking for a traditional pub, you will not be disappointed - the atmosphere is incredibly relaxed and welcoming and I can't praise the food highly enough - definitely worth a visit!

A nice welcoming pub with good pub food and good size portions. Husband enjoyed the beer! A nice find for a meal.

this is a lovely family pub we had a meal there and the portions were huge too much for me but really tasty my husband was dissappionted with his fish as it was quite dry but I thought the staff were very nice

Read other reviews and decided "what the heck" - well, I was welcomed by a broad "hello" by the locals as I walked in. Kids had puddings and I stuck to the local ale which was the best I've had in Cornwall. Delighted with the visit and the walk back to our loggings under star lite skies was amazing. Wicked visit.

The steak here is the best I've ever had, cooked to perfection! Lovely big portion too! Great beer on tap too! A great old traditional Cornish pub! We will be back!

Well kept beer and good basic pub style food. Atmosphere a little lacking, though. Prices reasonable.

I did not want to let this secret out but.. if you like a great steak (not good GREAT) try this place we have eaten in some of the best places across the globe and keep coming back to the Fourways, winter, summer out of season we have tried all, and every time i love it. during the cooler months the log fire is going, its fabulous.

The night we went there food had finished for the night, which was a shame as we had all travelled a long distance. There was live music which seemed pretty good with lots of sing-along numbers. Good place to sit and have a chat and catch up with our friends. Parking is practically non existent. All in all we would return there when next in the area. Beer was very good.

Totally agree with previous review, its a pub with local customers, who are very friendly and welcoming. The food, especially the steak is very good. As is the service. Great value for money. The fourways is at the back of Parkdean holiday park, so maybe get more than their fair share of disgruntled holiday makers! Always polite, helpful and friendly.

Came across this pub whilst camping down in Polzeath. Let's get the one downside out of the way first, there is little parking, however, Pityme taxis (next village) do a cracking service.The pub itself is a locals pub and that should be respected by holidaymakers. Everyone was friendly and Richard runs a great bar. Plenty of choice for ale and cider drinkers. The real prize though is the food. We had the sirloin steaks and they were amazing. Beautifully cooked and huge. Incredible value for money. Looking at some of the other dishes leaving the kitchen this quality and quantity ran across the menu. They have a dessert menu but we were too full to sample it.This is a real gem of a pub, friendly, great service and incredible fayre and excellent value. Quite understandably you have to book well in advance for the weekend. What a great find.

Myself and the kids had a lovely evening, with outstanding food and value for money. The food was hot and tasty, the service was quick and friendly. I would highly recommend eating at the Fourways inn.

very good local,great food,friendly staff,good beer,enjoyed being in there,excellent pub.oh and pool 50p a game.

Just had a few days in and around padstow. Had two meals at the four ways and cannot recommended the place high enough for good food well priced. The beer is also well kept. If you are in the area please try this pub.

A proper pub doing proper food....!! If you want fine dining this is not the place for you...however quite possibly the best steak you will ever find at an extremely good price...

Stayed here for two nights with family , rooms were good and the breakfast was very nice and plentiful . Very busy in the evening with a mix of locals and holidaymakers , price was very reasonable compared to accom in nearby polzeath

We visited this pub whilst staying at the park dean site. The pub is in a lovely village and only 5 minutes walk from the park. We was hoping to eat at this pub but after walking in the pub we soon changed our minds we wasn't greeted with a warm welcome by the man behind the bar and was glared at by the locals. This is a very plan pub and very much a local pub for local people. Such a shame it's a lovely building it could b so much more than what it is.... So much potential for a lovely pub !!!

Having enjoyed a walk on a perfect May evening, we struggled to find somewhere to eat. We knew this pub and had eaten there on several occasions over the years, but not recently, as on our last visit the food had been very disappointing. However, needs must. This is a very ordinary country pub offering ordinary food on menus which had seen better days, but the meals we had were hot, fresh and tasted good. It seems to be very much a 'locals' pub and the attitude of the bar staff was not particularly welcoming , but the waitress was very friendly and helpful.

We arrived after not being able to eat at the nearby pub. my expectations were low however my mind was blown by the lamb that I had as well as my friends steak that were cooked to perfection. incredibly impressed with the food that was produced. dessert choice bit of a let down. And it did feel like we were invading the local pub due to the other customers being a bit bolshy.

Arrived here for a very late lunch on friday 6th september after being turned away from the Oystercatcher as the kitchen was closed. When we arrived a little before 6 o'clock laughing as it we had gotten lost in the many winding roads and because had we stayed at the oystercatcher they'd be serving food soon. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately, if though somewhat informally. My wife and I soon discovered that we'd made a mistake as the kitchen here didn't open till 7 and were told they were fully booked. Luckily we stayed just long enough to be told that one of their reservations had cancelled and the we could eat at 7, so we did. Our order was taken at the table in a very rushed manner considering there was no one else yet in for meals. Just as we were beginning to think that we'd been lied to about being fully booked, every table was full and the staff were running all over the place. Our meals arrived promtly in around 20minutes and were cooked to perfection! The best steak i've had in years, must have come from a very good butcher and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the trout which was very small for the price but again perfectly cooked. The waiting staff checked a few too many times if we were enjoying our meals, this made us feel a little uneasy as though they were expecting something to be wrong, though I expect this was down to poor communication as the bar and floor staff seemed very inexperienced and seemed to be reciting the same script to every table. We shared a treacle tart for dessert and despite being a little too hot was exceptionally tasty. Possibly wouldn't come here again as though the food was great, customer service was appalling and food is served for a very short period making booking mandatory if you're looking to eat. However, it is definatly worth a visit just for the drive back to Wadebridge, the views are lovely!

Traditional Cornish local serving the residents of St Minver and the holiday-makers at Parkdean. There are no airs or graces here but the food is top notch. It's not arty farty fancy fayre, just wholesome grub cooked to perfection and in good proportion. They're missing a trick by only serving food for 2 hours (7-9pm).

We've ate here twice on our recent holiday in Polzeath. It's a traditional local pub with a good mix of locals and holidaymakers. The surroundings are homely rather than trendy with a pool table but the food makes this place a must visit if you're in the area. The menu is straightforward, traditional fare but portions are huge and the prices are great value for money compared to many others we tried in the area. Every dish our party of 6 chose was seriously delicious! The steaks are amazing, we also tried the chilli and the giant filled Yorkshire puddings which were similarly impressive and the treacle sponge was fantastic. All table bookings are for 7pm and you must be there by 7.30 latest. Service was excellent. If you want cordon bleu, innovative menus or a place to pose look elsewhere, but if home cooked, great traditional pub meals in a relaxed atmosphere are more your thing, book now!

Unfortunately we never got to taste the food at the Fourways Inn as a 'surly and unfriendly' manager turned us away on the phone. What sort of business turns away customers and potential business? The galling thing was we called in for a drink later onour way backto Padstow from Port Isaac there were tables free all the ime we were there. By then we had booked ourselves in at a much more welcoming spot. The food looked ok but sadly, through poor customer service we will never really know....

love the food!! great value next to parkdean holiday park. outside seating. kids welcome, pet friendly, great beer and local ones too.funny to see all park staff from holiday park meeting there, the drinks are cheaper too.

Good steaks, good beer, wine only by the bottle.This is a good size pub that could be so much better than it is - there is no atmosphere & the decor is very basic. With all those visitors close by they could do better.

we visited The Fourways Inn for lunch, and it was lovely home cooked food. Great friendly atmosphere, would definitely recommend it. Fantastic value as well.

This is a substantial pub which 'does food'. The menu is considerable but not particularly intriguing. However the piece de resistance which I would travel many a mile to enjoy is the plain straightforward steak. Quite simply the best in a long time. The bar on a Friday night is lively and resounds to the soft burr of Cornish accents. At the end of the week a fair number of folk reward themselves with a couple of drinks and a straight forward meal. The ales are well kept. The publican's labrador mingles with the drinkers ever on watch for a discarded crisp or pork scratching. Nothing pretentious but good value.
