The Kings Head Hotel in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Queen’s Head in St Stephen, Cornwall, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The roast dinner was an absolute standout—perfectly cooked meat, tender and flavorful, paired with golden, crispy roast potatoes that were some of the best I’ve ever had. The homemade Yorkshire puddings were a delight, light and fluffy, and the generous helping of rich gravy tied it all together beautifully. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here, making it a proper Sunday treat. The atmosphere in the pub is just as impressive. It’s a charming, cozy spot with a warm, welcoming vibe—think crackling woodburners, friendly chatter from locals, and that quintessential Cornish village charm. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re a regular or just passing through. The beer garden and play area out back are lovely touches too, perfect for a sunny day. The staff truly elevate the whole experience. They’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel like valued guests. Service was spot-on—quick without feeling rushed—and they were happy to chat and offer recommendations. All in all, The Queen’s Head is a gem. The roast dinner alone is worth the visit, but the fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff make it a place I’ll be eager to return to. Highly recommend!

Very tasty for both lunch and dinner. The small dishes are for sharing, highly recommended!

Can absolute gem. So very nice. Actually ignore my previous comments...this place is too nice for you!!!

The most outstanding fish restaurant I have been too in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Wonderful and kind staff. The monk fish and the tacos are just incredible as was the wine of the month from scilly. A perfect match

Amazing service - my dad got drenched riding his motorbike and they took excellent care of him, even offering to dry his gloves! The food was good and well priced. The atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly.
