The Napoleon Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Please ensure you check your bill, as we were charged twice for some items. Also, please be aware that there is a rate for tourists, as locals are charged at a lower rate.

Such an atmospheric and friendly pub. Food was very good but quite a lot kept running out just before we ordered - could be a good sign and just our bad luck. We returned on Tuesday and thoroughly enjoyed the singing and banter of the Boscombe Buoys. Dog friendly and you need to book.

This is one of the best roasts we've had. The beef is delicious. Not the usual mediocre pub roast at all. The staff could not have been more attentive as well. It was wonderful.

We choose to eat here as the football was being shown . Food was okay , ( mussels and fish and chips) . The locals were very chatty and the staff very friendly . It’s not 5 star food but we were happy with what we had and it was reasonably priced. we spent a pleasant few hours at this pub .

We have just had a delicious meal and although it was obviously very busy the staff were so friendly & helpful, recommend booking and we are so pleased we visited.

Very disappointing. Went for evening meal. Very welcoming but unfortunately food not good. Both had burgers - burger basic, overcooked bacon, hardly any cheese and burnt chips. One piece of lettuce and tomato at bottom of burger which was warm and limp. No onion ring as stated on menu. For the price should have side salad/coleslaw. Knew it wasn't very good as husband left chips and quarter of burger (normally eats everything up). Did mention and took 10% off bill but would have preferred good meal. Quite pricey pub especially compared to Cobweb Inn in main part of Boscastle - usually touristy part more expensive.

Tried this on spec for a drink as a change to our usual pub in Boscastle and decided to stay for dinner. We both had the fish and chips and it was one of the best we have had.

What a fantastic find! Whilst on holiday we decided to pop somewhere for Sunday lunch. Having seen the great reviews on here, we opted to book a table. So glad we did! It’s a lovely, old pub, tucked away up the hill in Boscastle with a little handy car park to the side. The staff were welcoming & friendly. The food was delicious. 3 of us had the roast and it was quite honestly one of the nicest pub roasts we’ve ever had. Tasty, plenty of it, well cooked, hot & full of flavour. The fish & chips were also really nice. Fresh, light, crispy batter with the most delicious chips. We all really enjoyed the food & would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely traditional inn near Boscastle Harbour. Good food, lovely staff friendly and attentive and super doggy friendly!

Amazing roast dinner. Sat here now just finished one of the best roast dinners I have had in a very long time. Lovely pub, really friendly staff and glorious sunshine just to top it off. If you are in Boscastle the walk up the hill to the Napoleon Inn is definitely worth it.

Lovely pub with excellent atmosphere. Busy crowd of locals and visitors and a roaring fire. Only negative is the sparkly 'art' dotted around the pub - really not a good look in such a traditional place; way too 'GCSE Art Project' for such a nice venue (red lips and sea horses etc with glitter :-( )

Had a lovely curry here whilst on holiday absolutely delicious, my husband had a ploughman’s which he said was one of the best he has had. The staff here are so friendly and helpful just wish we lived closer as it’s a lovely pub.

Great pub after a long walk ! Friendly lively and excellent hospitality! Delicious food ! Burger not for the faint hearted !

A brilliant pub, with great atmosphere, exceptional food, welcoming owners and staff, very clean, great live music. Just excellent.

Enjoyed home made soup ( apple / celeriac). Catch of day at a very reasonable £17 was absolutely delicious - skate wings in a slightly piquant creamy sauce. Sticky toffee pudding not up to same high standard, but told new chef was due to upgrade. Very friendly service.

Visited with family for Sunday lunch. Lovely traditional pub with friendly service. I enjoyed roast gammon with lovely fresh vegetables, the cauliflower cheese puree made a nice change. My daughter had roast beef. The meat in both roasts was exceptionally nice. Roast lunches are my favourite meal and as a result I have had many! This one is amongst the best, if not, the best! Thank you.

We were not expecting such fabulous food! What a find. Lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Top notch Sunday lunch -lovely roaring fire and friendly atmosphere. New owners are turning the place around and the results speak for themselves - jumping with customers on Friday and Saturday - lots of locals - which is great!

We’ve been coming the the Napoleon for years whenever we visit Boscastle. My wife and I were staying around the corner for Christmas this year and popped into the Nap a couple of times during our visit. I heard that it recently changed hands but I have to say, the food was incredible (as always) and the atmosphere was just as warm and welcoming as before. Seriously , did I say the food was incredible ! Sunday roast was amazing and the second night I had a stake. Damn , those chips were good. I can’t wait to return.

The Nap is now under new management and I was worried that meant the standards might slip. I am pleased to report that the food is still excellent! The same menu as before, which is great! My wife is also coeliac and they were fantastic at catering for her. They have gluten free versions of almost everything on the menu. The burger was sensational. Others had fish and chips and were also very pleased. The new land lady was very welcoming and looked after us well. Highly recommend. One of North Cornwall’s hidden gems.

Went in at 9.30 and told only allowed one drink as she wanted to finish.Had a good chat with another party of 4 Then we got refused another drink at 10.00.

We were made very welcome as we slopped in after walking in a rainstorm. Food was excellent in a lovely old pub.

We had dinner at The Nap last evening. The food was amazing. Really well cooked, good range of choice, brilliantly presented. We had their fish and chips and pork belly dishes. Best we have eaten so locally. Both dishes were beautifully cooked and tasted fabulous. Staff are very friendly, professional and helpful. Will definitely be returning soon and would definitely recommend.

Quirky pub very nice staff l must admit was disappointed with the meal my pork belly was very soggy and the fat not cooked off it was quite unpleasant not a crispy bit of crackling in sight l was asked if my meal was okay and l never say anything not wanting to ruin the night the chef would have known it wasn’t very good l would hope but still sent it out anyway

From Paul and Sam (hiking the SWCP) A very welcoming atmosphere on a stormy night, lovely staff, fabulous food and even sea shanties from the Boscastle Buoys - what more could you ask?

So we had been to all the local places to eat whilst staying in Boscastle but this without doubt was “Simply the best , better than all the rest” amazing Sunday toast 3 x meats ( that simply melted in your mouth ) giant Yorkshire...

Amazing little find .Sunday lunch was superb , choice of Pork Beef and Gammon you can have all three if you should wish too .Nut roast was also on the menu .The Yorkshire pudding was perfect and the vegetables were lovely and tasty , lashings...

Stopped here for a drink whilst visiting Bostcastle. Wonderful little pub, full of character, friendly staff, excellent service.

Was staying literally opposite and the pub was highly recommended, and our experience was definitely really great across two different visits. Best visit was the second when there was a folk band on and was amazing to sit with live music, drinks etc and the...

Great Sunday lunch , would highly recommend. Great service , roast beef was excellent and the pudding was very good . Best pub in Boscastle without a doubt .

Such a great service, very attentive and helpful despite a very long and busy day. Delicious for from all 9 in our group including gluten free fish and chips! Perfect steak and amazing veggie pasta option. Would highly recommend.

Ate here while staying locally. I can honestly say it was the best Sunday dinner I have had from a pub/restaurant. Loved it so much we came a second time and thoroughly enjoyed the fish and chips, steak, muscles and friendly atmosphere. 10/10!

Service was fabulous and staff were really accommodating and friendly… Food was tasty fresh and good value for money. Highly recommend for food and drinks lovely evening all round…thanks to all at the Napoleon Inn 😁

What a great find this was....staff were so friendly especially Steve who found us a table even though they were fully booked...took time to chat to us and made us feel so welcome as did the other staff. Food was absolutely delicious couldn't fault anything,...

Friday evening visit when holidaying in the area. Hadn’t booked but they managed to fit us in. Food was excellent as was the service. Dog friendly which was great. Well worth a visit.

The landlord and staff, and other customers made us feel very welcome. We went several nights for the music jam, and sea shanties plus midsummer Morris dancing.

Food was amazing and the staff were really friendly. The two husbands had the pork, my wife had the sea bass and my daughter had the salad. All of us loved it. Good selection of alcohol and alcohol free behind the bar as well.

It's a fantastic little place. The service was above and beyond and the meal was first class. It was so good we have booked to go back for a Sunday carvery . Can not wait.

Lovely welcoming pub, beautiful old building. Good food and and beer with very attentive service. Staff clearly cared about the pub and engaged with customers to ensure they had a good evening.

Incredible meals! We have had some amazing times here, superb service, excellent musicians and made a lot of friends. The food is superb, something for everyone and every budget. This week I had what were probably the best mussels I have ever eaten, a huge...

My goodness, what an amazing little Pub. Its the kind of Pub you would remember from the 'good old days' when you wanted a warm welcome, good honest food, and ales drawn from the cask. We went for a Sunday roast on a cold wet May afternoon, roast beef, beautifully roasted potatoes, vegetables seasoned with garlic and herbs and such a lot of flavour so no need for the salt and pepper provided. Food was hot and plentiful. Don't get me started on the treacle sponge!Larissa runs a tight ship and is firm but polite with the social distancing. Throughly recommended.

I booked a table for my birthday this evening, we were shown to a lovely table undercover and I even had some banners put up which was a lovely touch. Very covid secure and staff are friendly. It has a good atmosphere with lots of locals. The food was delicious, recommend the cheese burger and the chicken and bacon linguine. We’re only on holiday but would definitely visit if in the area again.

We had a delicious evening meal here. Efficient & friendly service. By phoning beforehand the chef was able to accommodate my special dietry needs.

Stopped here for Sunday lunch, we hadn’t booked and staff managed to squeeze us in. Food was excellent and fair portions, my girls had chips and as an ex publican myself was very impressed to be have proper chips on the menu , unfortunately to many pubs opt for the frozen rubbish!! Staff were very nice and attentive. It’s a bit of a trek from the centre of village but so would need to drive up there, we were on a Sunday so were told we could park in the surgery car park as it was closed. Would highly recommend

Very traditional Cornish pub, with dining area at the back. Staff working hard to be welcoming in COVID times. Food was rather better than anticipated: well prepared, home style cooking. I had ribs which were great, tasted of roast pork with BBQ sauce not too OTT over them and nice mixed salad. Other half had the seafood linguine, also good . Interesting profiterole tart for dessert. Good VFM.

covid compliant well informed staff well distance seating, very professional. great food value for money nice atmoshpere even in these trying times, great staff

We popped in a roast here while spending the day at Tintagel and Boscastle. We hadn't booked and there was limited availability but the staff did the best they could to find us a table. We only had to wait about 10 mins for a table to clear and be disinfected for us. I had the nut roast and my other half the lamb and both were stunning. The nut roast was especially incredible. Roast spuds and veggies were a highlight and very nicely flavoured and roasted (not your usual boiled veg). We tried a local larger that was on tap which was very tasty.Highly recommend. Must book in advance. Good one way system in place. Only downside was having to park a few mins walk away and the pub was very noisy as there were a few families with young children but that did not take away from the great food and atmosphere.

Only stopped in for a pint initially but once inside this quaint traditional pub we then decided to eat and our group all enjoyed the food, I had the ribs which were really nice. Staff friendly and helpful too.

Starting with the positive, very disciplined with Covid regulations. Staff were quick to point out where ‘Joe Public’ were not following correct procedures. Staff were very polite and attentive throughout. The pub is old, traditional with no frills. The food equally was no frills and left me disappointed.

Clearly taking Covid seriously the arrangements were spot on. Our table was near enough to the open fire to make us glow and the food was good hearty pub fare. Service was friendly and welcoming, indeed we are going back tomorrow for our evening meal.

Had Sunday lunch which was lovely so good booked for Monday evening. Would highly recommend both meals. We were made welcome with our two westies. Staff are very friendly and the place is covid safe.

Wow one of my best ever Sunday Lunches. Staff great and they cover Covid well. Sunday dinner was a well stacked plate of excellent food. Recommend you book and get there before 3pm.

Disappointing. The food was pretty average at best. Salt and chilli squid was batter and not a lot of squid. Burger was dry and tired and linguine was swimming in cream. Plus points, nice service, well kept beer. Maybe we went on an off night but was not as per most reviews.

Well organised public house with alcohol Gel on arrival table service social distanced from other people, food yummy we had broccoli soup sounds disgusting but it was Home Made lasagne and salad with garlic bread all very tasty & sticky toffee pudding which was delicious as well... Staff very attentive & friendly asking if everything was Ok... A lovely evening was had.

Initially made to sit in smoking area because we were ten minutes early.The food was over priced and quite obviously microwaved.Dry lasagne and over cooked fish cakes.We both had stomach problems next day.Appalling attitude from one member of staff.

We were staying in the b&b 2 minute walk up the road. This was a lovely pub which we were recommended. It was all table service which we liked. The food was great pub food and if you're in the area then you should definitely book to come here.

Just want to give a shout out to this pub as they went out of their way to help us when my husband left his credit card behind the bar as we ate outside. On returning to the Midlands, he realised that he had left it, but they very kindly did as we requested and we are very grateful for the outcome. As for the meal, all 3 dishes we chose were delicious. My sea bream was excellent. Lovely to sit outside away from the busy crowds in the centre of Boscastle.

Visited here for dinner as part of our North Cornwall trip.Lovely quaint pub and setting, good service, great food and fair prices!More hand sanitizer would of been good, the only one we saw was empty, but we always have our own. COVID rules were clearly in place other than this, including a 1 way system.

Not the best evening, was ok but only ok would not rush back. Service was slow, did smell a bit and the staff where not that happy. Bit of a locals pub I think.Not sure many would walk to the top of the hill to have a meal here.

Have visited this pub before so know it’s a gemAs a fussy eater I always I look at the menu online before visiting and pick out what I want (pan seared chicken) followed by a back up (ribs) in case it’s sold outUpon arrival were given a much reduced menu and neither of my choices were on it, which was very disappointing but I did manage to find something to eat. The staff were very pleasant but I was slightly annoyed that my consent was not asked for the track and trace (as it’s optional) I was told my details had already been entered The one way system was ok but if the weather is bad you have to go outside to go to the loo - not ideal Also not suitable for really young families as no baby change facilities and the kids menu is aimed at 5+ I would say with only ice cream as a dessert choiceMy son had fish and we found a few bones in it which is not what you want for a 2 year oldDessert was small in comparison to what we have had already on our holiday but priced similarly. I really dislike it when chefs put icing sugar on as decoration as I’m allergic to dust so it makes me cough and sneeze- however as my son demolished my fudge cake before I got the chance it didn’t really matter Will come again when children are older and pandemic is over, it would be nice to see the staff’s smiles

Well done to the Nap Team. When you book you can take great delight and reassurance that their Covid preventative measures are in place. One way systems, track & trace and clear instructions are all apparent. The staff comply, some customers don’t - get a grip public, it’s for your safety. If you’re fed up with Covid and bored with following instructions don’t go to the Nap. If you want to the comfort of knowing you’re in safe hands in these difficult times - the Nap is the place to go.P&L

Well as a regular when we're down here it was a bit of a shock. List of so many rules in very small font I lost the will to live reading it. However, staff were very pleasant, friendly and attentive and although the menu was reduced the food was lovely. Plenty of outdoor seating, dog friendly. Worth a visit.

Lovely pub ate here on our first night some lovely food. Cornish tribute is a nice pint if you like a pale ale.

Visited here as a family of 4 (children age 8 and 3) for dinner after a day in Tintagel and a wander around Boscastle. Had pre booked and was the Eat Out to Help Out scheme when we visited. We were advised our table was only until 7pm but as we had young children this didn’t matter. Good COVId one way system and staff friendly. We just had the one course as the portions were pretty large and we were all tired after a busy day but all enjoyed the food. I had the lasagna which was delicious and my husband had the prawn linguine. The children had the veg pasta and the ham egg and chips. The later was a great size and wish I’d ordered two of those as the pasta was very chunky and not that suitable for my 3 year old as it was full of courgette which she doesn’t eat. She loved the garlic bread though as did we all! Lovely Cornish gin and beer too. Pretty setting, would recommend.

In general, I want this review to be positive due to the huge effort the management and staff have gone to to make Corvid measures work in this small, quaint old pub. We pre-booked our table knowing that the "Eat out to Help Out" scheme would mean it would be busy and we arrived early to have a drink and a game of cards in the garden. The pub was busy and the "one-way" system was adhered to by the staff and "most" of the customers. However, you always get the one who thinks Corvid doesn't apply to him. Complete plonker, probably a local cider or lager waller who completely ignores the rules of engagement. Staff were apologetic when I got served.

As a group of 8, we have just had a wonderful meal at this pub. The seating was well spaced out, the waitresses were respectful and the food was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection, the linguine was lovely, the sea bass and noodles was yummy and the burger amazing. The puddings were equally as yummy - the cheesecake being the highlight. A lovely evening had by all.

Ate here as a family of 4 on our holidays. 3 has steaks and I had the sea bass. All the food was lovely and we would definitely recommend. Lovely old building

Absolutely gutted we wasted one of our evenings eating at this place, first thing that hit us was the strong smell of disinfectant and not in a nice way. They didn't really seem to know what they were doing with the covid situation, they wouldn't want to collect the dirty items from around our table but were then happy to lean all over us to deliver the food(other places we have been to have sides or little tables set up to minimise the risk). Now for the food menu very limited especially starters which I get in this climate, but then there's no place to hide with the cooking. The nachos were bland and not worth the money they expect for them but in fairness the whitebait was nice. The cornish pasty was awful just full of potato and no meat the linguine just look like it had a pot of cream tipped on it and little bits of shell on it and the steaks weren't cooked to how we asked. We were so disappointed we didn't want to stay for dessert, and to top it off was the state of the toilet it was horrendous. The one plus for the napoleon was the little young waitress who tried her best to get everything write and was very polite a real asset. Would never go back again!!!

Lovely meal, good beer, all very Covid-secure. Vegan friendly options, pleasant waiting staff made us very welcome

We found this pub by chance, and what a find! The atmosphere was lovely and everything was cleaned really well and Covid safe. Our food was lovely and the servers very friendly.

I can’t highly recommend this restaurant enough. They were fantastic, everywhere else was fully booked and the staff went out of their way to find us a table. I have 4 children with the youngest being 1 and was the staff were so welcoming for the children. They seated us outside and there was social distancing protocols in place and sanitising of tables before you sat down. The food was amazing, and the kids loved it. The restaurant was doing the eat out to help out, so the prices were reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if you are on Boscastle.

In these mad times the pub did everything to keep us safe whilst still providing a great service, fab food. First time went by chance for Sunday lunch - absolutely lovely followed by homemade pudding. Went back again as food was lovely - thoroughly recommend. It’s not a posh gastro pub but a traditional pub with fantastic tasting home cook food. Would highly recommend the roast, burgers, steak and kidney pie, lemon meringue pie and chocolate fudge cake. Bar staff really friendly and helpful.

The staff were really friendly and welcoming in these difficult times. We had great pub food- good quality and lots of it with proper puddings. A really great evening and we would definitely recommend.

We booked a table at the Napoleon for dinner on the night we arrived in Boscastle. When we arrived the waitress couldn’t find our booking, but found us somewhere to sit and eat anyway, with massive apologies for it not being in the diary. (It later transpired it was booked in my first name not my surname which I’d given when we arrived) Drinks were served promptly. The food order was also done without having to wait too long. The food arrived in good time and was all nice. We had some desserts which again were all done without any messing around. We had to ask for salt and vinegar with our mains, but it arrived straight away. All in all a very nice evening meal (although we probably ruined everyone else’s meal because the baby was tired and fed up by the end of it, so my husband took him home before desserts). The staff were all really good, efficient and friendly. The COVID process was explained to us when we sat down and we were politely reminded to sit the little one down when he was getting off his seat. This was done professionally and courteously. We would definitely recommend the Napoleon and will try and make it there again during our stay in Boscastle.

Super food, lovely staff and service. Yummy cod in a light batter, the children had roasted vegetables linguini and garlic bread and liked it too. Plenty of choices and well worth a visit. We would recommend The Nap.

We have stayed 70 yards away from the Napoleon in Fairfield Cottage in March, July and August. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, very good customer service. We have tasted the excellent Sunday Roasts and enjoyed a very tasty steak...we have never been disappointed and they always have a good range of cornish beers and lager. The staff are all working extremely hard to ensure everything is safe for their customers during COVID-19. We look forward to visiting again in September!

We,ve been coming to this lovely old pub for many years when staying in Boscastle. For this year's trip and because of the covid situation I rang the Napoloean Inn to make a reservation for Sunday roast. I was told it was all fine and booked in for the following weekend.Arriving at the pub early for a drink I let the staff member know we had arrived and were booked in for Sunday roast. Again all was fine we were told. However when the meal time arrived we were handed a bar meal menu and told that all the roasts had been sold! We explained our disappointment and the staff member went off and spoke to the manageress who just shrugged and w walked off with not a word of explanation offered. Needless to say we said no thanks to the bar meal and went elsewhere. It has spoiled a perception of a place where we have had m any happy visits.

Having read all the nice reviews we were keen on having dinner here! Getting hold of the was really difficult for starters but we eventually managed to book a table! Friendly welcome, but the waitress ignored to help us with the wobbly table, which wasn't easy to fix given the uneven floor!Really not impressed by their food, the falafel burger tasted cumin, that's not a falafel!!! Hardly any crab or any other fish in the Crab linguine and our daughter fish was really undercooked!!!Oh and thank you for having to wash my clothes and rucksack after visiting your place, the white walls left serious stains on my clothes and rucksack!

Simply lovely - after a long challenging walk along the coastal path it was lovely to eat at this cosy pub. Beautiful setting and delicious food and very good service 👍

Family of five.Pre booked under the current climate which was very easy.Staff very friendly and welcoming.Food was lovely.3 had the Prawn and Crab linguine which certainly hit the spot.And there was a clear plate from my son with the burger.Pub taking social distancing seriously which was welcome.Nice relaxed eating environment.Will come again next time we're down this way.

Lovely pub at the top of Boscastle a way up from the harbour and unfortunately easily missed if you are not looking for it. We googled where to eat in Boscastle before our day trip there and found this pub had good reviews so booked a table. So glad we did! The waitress was so lovely, friendly and very professional despite having to enforce all the new social distancing rules etc. The waitress had blue hair and was a credit to the pub. We had the cod and salmon fish cakes which were delicious and the presentation was so appealing. Great pub experience and would certainly visit again.

We stayed at the Bottreaux guest house which is literally 20 yards away and we ate here four nights out of the seven that we stayed.The food is very good and they have a varied choice on the menu.The pub is "Book Only" due to Covid-19 and there is hand sanitiser on the way in and all the tables are socially distanced.The staff are great and they have the service is very good, plus they have strawberry Absolute vodka...A MUST TRY !!We loved this place and highly recommend it. 5 stars.

The lovely staff are doing a great job making the customers welcome whilst complying with measure for social distancing. The food was good so we’ve come back twice this week so far whilst on holiday in boscastle.

Me and my partner went for a Sunday roast and it was amazing. We sat in the sunny courtyard which was very nice. They had hand sanitiser available and a good system post lockdown. The best thing was the food, they gave you loads of yummy roasted veg and potatoes and plenty of gravy, along with a homemade Yorkshire. Also really nice stuffing with beef which you never get but you should! It was great and the best roast we’ve had in ages. Staff were very friendly too.

We had booked a six night break in Boscastle last October before the world changed. We visited the Napoleon Inn three times during our stay. The pub is 16th century but had been adapted well to meet Covid 19 guidance. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent particularly the rump steak and tomato pasta/roasted vegetable dish. Table service for drinks. Well done everyone on getting things up and running!

We stayed in a beautiful cottage 200 yards away from The Napoleon Inn, early March 2020. We booked a table for Sunday Roast, it was absolutely delicious...so much so we all decided to order dessert. We will definitely be back as soon as we are allowed to visit Boscastle again!

A roaring fire, decent ales and wines,Live music and great food.....been coming here for years and years.. the owners come and go but the place obviously has all these qualities built in. Boscastle's best.

We stayed along the road from the Napoleon in a holiday cottage and had read good things about the food. We were not disappointed. Great food, large portions and good service. We were made to feel very welcome.

The nap is the original boscastle pub, up in the old part of boscastle, it can be a bit of a climb, but the reward is worth it, great atmosphere, food, ale. A must

We just popped in on the off-chance they were doing food - and they were. I had a great falafel burger and a couple of pints of cider and we were good to go. Cosy, comfortable pub.

This is one of the oldest pubs in Boscastle and the food is great. Some of the bar staff not so friendly but look past that and it is a pub to visit. All food is very good and their New Year’s Eve Party is definitely worth going to !!

We visited for lunch, completely unannounced, with our big herding dog and had the most fabulous time here. The lady behind the bar made us feel really welcome, took the time to talk to us and petted our dog- all very appreciated!What astonished us was how good the food was for the price. The chips and onion rings really were to die for. Little touches, such as the black pepper on the clearly homemade chips, and the lovely dressing on the salad, make such a difference. The onion rings were light and crispy and beautifully cooked and seasoned. The only improvement I could suggest would be to use thick-cut high quality bakery bread, as it was the only part of the meal that was less than superb.The building itself is gorgeous and has an interesting history, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. I could spend many happy hours here whiling away the time, and when I move to the area in the near future, I hope to do so. Many thanks for the lovely time we spent at your pub!

Very friendly staff and brilliant food and made very welcome, have been here many times and would highly recommend it.

This becomes our local when we visit boscastle this pub is a gem of a place and a must to visit if you go to boscastle, the food is always great and we have got to know the staff and they are always very pleasant and will always go out of there way to help if you need it, me and the wife have tried nearly everything on the menu and we can honestly say it’s always been amazing, they have plenty of live music on throughout the week and the boscastle bouys are always great on a Tuesday evening well worth a visit when they are there cannot fault this pub in any way.

This was a great find, as it was out of season evening restaurants were very limited, only found the pub on our last night in Boscastle. A warm welcome and a great open fire in the eating area. Good selection of food all at reasonable prices.

We always visit a few times when in Boscastle. Lovely open fire, excellent Tribute from the keg and the food is, as always, a cut above most pub food. We had the stonebass one evening and it was brilliant. Friendly staff. pity it wasn't open Thursday and Friday lunchtimes as we needed to escape the rain.

The Napoleon Inn was perfect for us - warm and friendly atmosphere, great food and a good drinks selection. We were in Boscastle for four nights and ate here three out of those. On one night we had a whitebait starter, followed by fishcakes (me) and slow cooked beef (he), and a cloudy cider and Cornish ale. All wonderful. On another night - pork belly, mash and red cabbage for me, a magnificent steak and kidney suet pudding for my partner - and again, the Thatcher's Haze cider. The food was delicious and of perfect serving size.

Great pub , Great food ,Beer from barrels behind the bar , Don't miss the Boscastle Bouys on a Tuesday night.

We chose The Napolean from the recent reviews and were not disappointed Food excellent service excellent. Would recommend.

The Napoleon Inn is a lovely Cornish pub which we have visited many times whilst in Boscastle. We particular love it due to it being dog friendly however, on our most recent visit we had to contend with a vicious German Shepherd guarding the only entrance/exit to the pub. The dog, who clearly had not been socialised with other dogs, tried to attack our dogs on leaving the pub. I resorted to asking the landlord to open the locked front door as I did not trust that the owner had control over his very angry dog. The owner seemed to think this was normal behaviour for a dog! It is great that the landlord accepts dogs on his property but he does need to be selective where a dog struggles socially being in the presence of other dogs. Therefore, I would recommend a visit to this pub on the understanding that the landlord only accepts well behaved dogs.
