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

What a great pub set in beautiful surroundings. We stayed locally and walked to the pub and we were able to find a table inside for food. The fresh fish dishes were delicious as was my potted pulled pork sandwich - although I would have liked more bread or even two decent slices of granary bread. There was a good selection of beers on tap and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The pub seemed really popular with locals and visitors alike which is always a great sign. Definitely recommend.

Average looking pub, taking advantage of the fact that it is the only pub in the village and charging rip off prices. Only had drinks, didn’t bother with the food. This is Cornwall, not London!

Ordered the Crab sandwich only to find it doesn’t contain crab. Fish and chips was shocking! Also the larger shandy was well I’m not to sure what it was. And far too expensive for what’s offered!

Very pleasant owner and staff they fitted us in super last minute and I really appreciate all the staff that sorted us out. thank you again I will be returning again for dinner and a pint :)

Have just returned from a very disappointing meal at this pub. We were pleased to get a table being a Saturday evening especially as we hadn't booked and were looking forward to a good dinner. However the menu was very limited and uninspiring. We decided to order the potted sandwiches which came with a small undressed salad garnish (no coleslaw), a sourdough roll (not rosemary foccacia) and a couple of butter packs. I had the pulled pork which was mushy and unappetising with apple sauce clearly from a jar and my friend had the crab which was heavily salted and lacking in flavour. We could tell from the presentation of the food that we'd made a mistake. For the price charged £18 and £20 it was very sub standard. I also ordered a glass of merlot which I then had to return due to the bad smell of the glass, think of a dirty tea towel! Our general impression was that the staff were inexperienced including in the kitchen. The standard of our food and the overall experience was not only disappointing but unacceptable! We live locally and would not recommend eating here! People should be able to expect higher standards than this from a nicely located country pub.

As the only pub in the village, I was expecting something really special. The best bit is the setting with views overlooking the river. Service was good, Guinness was cold, but the food so-so. I had a small portion of battered fish, chips & mushy peas for £10 (standard size was £20). The fish, advertised as fresh, not frozen, was hot and tasty, but the lukewarm chips were just frozen string fries which I ate as I was hungry. I opted to take dessert home, £8 for a very small lemon cheesecake (minus mango coulis) that matched the size of the accompanying scoop of raspberry ripple ice cream. The topping was flavourless, the biscuit base claggy, so I gave up halfway. Luckily the ice cream was the saving grace. I'm used to paying London prices; this was on par with them, but the quality just wasn't good enough.

Popped in for a drink, never been before and found it to be a lovely dog friendly quaint pub with a terraced beer garden. It serves meals and for me a must, a good selection of real ales. I would definitely return.

Best feature is the lovely location overlooking a river & surrounding countryside. Opted for small battered fish & chips with mushy peas for £10 (standard size was £20). Fish was lovely, served hot; chips were frozen stringy fries served barely warm. Took dessert home - lemon cheesecake with raspberry ripple ice cream (declined mango coulis) for £8. Flavourless with claggy biscuit base, so most went in the bin & just ate the ice-cream. Service was fine, but food a big let down. I won't be back.

We had a very comfortable, long lunch at the Old Quay Inn. Easy going and relaxed atmosphere. I had crab salad which was simple and generous. It is a lovely, old fashioned pub and we were lucky to find a parking space right outside. I liked this quiet, hidden away pub. A great place to catch up with old friends. Minimal staff and minimal fuss.

This is the second time we have been here while holidaying in Cornwall. The Old Quay Inn is comfortable, cosy and quaint with a really good atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu may not suit everyone as it is not your usual every day pub food which makes a change , but does include a select range of homemade burgers such as a lamb one and a hulumi one with all the trimmings making it unique. The food was excellent, well cooked, nicely presented and very tasty. The croissant filled with cookie dough and nutella served with ice cream is something I had not seen before. The service was very good with a decent waiting time between courses. We will certainly have this superb little inn on our list to revisit when we are hopefully in cornwall in 2 years time

Small village pub. Staff were friendly and food good. Staff were knowledgeable about ale selection. Sat outside watching the tide come in.

Beautiful location and friendly staff. Food not value for money sadly.

Our experience of the food in this pub was great. Cornish mussels were very good as was the fish & chips. We didn't think it was any more pricey than other pubs we visited in Cornwall. One disappointing thing was no local beers which was a shame.

Nice stop on a cycling club event social ride 🙂

Had a super pub lunch, served by super-friendly bar staff, whose input became the inspiration for a very decadent, croissant stuffed with cookie dough and other wonderful things. We couldn't finish it but....🥰

Wow, ordered two crab sandwiches for just over £20 each. What arrived was a plate containing a pile of salad, a bowl of coleslaw, a toasted bun and a small Kilner jar containing what looked like mayonnaise with chopped spring onion. This I was informed was the "CRAB MEAT". Honestly we both searched our respective Kilner jars and we could not find any crab, in fact you could not even smell crab, just mayonnaise and onion. Then it dawned on us, the crab had run off, just as fast as 3 other customers we had witnessed had. I was given a full refund, but the "chef" was too busy to speak to me. I think they were too embarrassed to hear some constructive criticism...a Crab Meat sandwich needs to contain crab... Be authentic and stop trying to dupe your customers, offer real and quality food, not a facsimile that you are trying to pass off as "trendy".

Nice place to relax and good beer

Went on a Monday which is never a good day, (chefs tend to have Mondays off). But the food was overpriced and barely adequate, fish cakes were unlike any previously experienced, not in a good way. Fish and chips were okay, but cold plate equals cold skinny fries. Desserts were best part of the meal, and tbf we had one free to compensate for the fishcakes. Asked for coke and got diet Pepsi from the tap, such a shame for a pub in such a good location.

Lovely pub, staff polite food nice, but the small portions are small had small fish n chips seen biger fish fingers...

Great place to sit and enjoy a pint, gin in a very relaxing location

Only popped in for a beer but it’s very well kept. I have eaten there before and it’s very good.

Popped in hoping to enjoy a few pints of ale and maybe a bit of lunch. Unfortunately the 'real ale' was a choice of 2 equally horrible citrusy, fruity, gassy (and very expensive) beers. I get that these modern 'craft beers' are the trendy thing but we were hoping a Cornish village pub might offer some decent best bitter. Can't comment on the food as we drank up and left to search for a decent pint elsewhere.

Excellent food and service, very nice real ales too

Enjoyed a pint & cheesy chips after kayaking from Deveron Quay for many months. The landlord is most unfriendly. Reminds me of a Mancunian who cannot move on from the 80's. Met him @ the quay this morning where he verbally assaulted me & barred me. I suffer from mental health (PTSD) & am the easiest of people to get on with.

A really nice pub but, unfortunately, seems to think that anyone wanting a glass of wine earns multiple millions. Made the mistake if ordering one....£12.20!!!!!!! It's not London for goodness sake, total rip off for locals.

Great village pub and atmosphere

Lovely pub and friendly service.

Quaint.... but expensive... prices for an Amstel at £6.30... ! Food was good

Love this pub, lots of character, yet modern and clean. Lovely food and location too. Highly recommend 👌

Lovely place full of character and everyone was so polite and kind.

Pub de village,l'accueil est sympathique !

What a lovely pub. Excellent service and location. A hidden gem. Recommend the roast. Staff are so friendly a must visit

Great food, super friendly staff.

Didn't live up to expectations based on other reviews. Bar service lacked any sort of a welcome as the staff were more interested in chatting between themselves than their customers. Beer garden looked very tired and not a pleasant place to enjoy a drink in the late summer sun. We intended to eat here but decided to move on to another pub after two very expensive drinks. Won't be returning.

The best, biggest, and tastiest mussles I've ever eaten. My friends all had something different and said their meals were amazing. Friendly staff. Lovely inside and out the front with a lovely view of the estuary.

Great beer and they have Verdant beer on draught 🍻🍻

Great setting. Terrible, overpriced lager.

The Old Quay Inn was a very pleasant stop on our walk along the Coast to-Coast path. Excellent service, food and beer. A proper-job old style pub. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Highly recommended.

Terraced garden is a good location to stop for a pint after cycling/walking through the local nature reserve, but best to plan another lunch/dinner option if you possibly can, as the food is not great.

After a lovely walk out with my partner, we decided to check out the old quay Inn. We looked on trip advisor and wasn't sure. But we carried on and got to the old quay Inn to be welcomed by the land lord John and the barman Ollie and Tom, where do I start fantastic people, reviews saying the landlord was rude bla bla bla I tell you now there's not many places where you get a warm welcome from a land lord who sounds like the one and only Alan Partridge 🤣 hilarious chap. We had a fish finger sandwich and mussels and a few ice cold beers again amazing and really enjoyed every bite. Again other reviews saying pricey, when you have beautiful view, amazing food and drinks you pay a little more and its cheaper then most places within a 30mile radius. If you only earn a pittance due to the financial dark hole we are all in, Weatherspoons do a pint for £3.50 and a burger that chef mic cooks (mircowave) if that's the kind of food you want go there. My partner would like to add that the builder who was there doing painting work had a beautiful singing voice and definitely needs not to give up his day job I highly recommend the old quay Inn and will be going back for sure to see the friendly staff and John who is a legend. Keep up the good work guys see you soon Brett & Flick

We had lunch at this pub today as a multi generational group and it was superb. The menu has something for everyone and the helpful staff were happy to adapt our choices to our dietary preferences too. We were very well looked after and our food was delicious - you really have to try the mango cheesecake as it's amazing! I really recommend booking a table as it seems popular with visitors and locals alike.

Staying in the campsite up the road we decided to come down for a meal, we were greeted by lovely inviting staff. They had a wide range of succulent dishes which complimented the vibrant atmosphere of the pub along with a variety of different ales, ciders and other beverages. Overall a really positive experience and would recommend. 5/5

I had the pleasure of The old Quay Inn being my local pub whilst working locally. The staff are fantastic and knowledgeable about the local beers and food plus recommendations for fishing hotspots. Made me feel very welcome and went out of their way to make sure everything was right. The selection of locally sourced beers and ciders is very good, the food is excellent and locally sourced ingredients where possible, my favorite was the small mussels which allowed room for a pudding! The chilli fries are a meal on their own. Wide selection of kids meals, soft drinks as well. I’ve seen some reviews about it being a bit ‘pricey’ but I believe you pay for quality, if you want a mixed grill for 15 quid then go to the beefeater up the road which overlooks a Premier Inn and the A39, the views from the Old Quay inn overlook the creek. All the food is very, very good I went through most of the menu on my frequent visits and everything is freshly cooked to order and tasty. The terraced garden at the back is quiet and tranquil, a good place to eat and unwind weather permitting. Inside is very relaxing, lots of wood, very pleasant although it was just undergoing a fresh coat of paint on the inside and out for the last 2 weeks I was there. A really big thank you to all the staff as you made my stay a lot more enjoyable.

The Old Quay Inn in Feock, Cornwall is a hidden gem that offers an incredible experience. From its cozy atmosphere, rustic charm, and friendly staff, to its wide selection of drinks and delicious food, this pub has it all. The prices are reasonable and competitively priced, making it a great value for your money. It's the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy a pint with friends, and indulge in a range of mouthwatering dishes and catering for all dietary needs. Don't miss out on this amazing place! Cheers to a memorable time at the Old Quay Inn!

Der Besuch um Lammburger zu testen hat sich gelohnt.

Excellent menu Excellent service Highly Recommended

Popped in for a drink while out on a walk - visiting the area

Expensive if you're from Shropshire.

This pub is situated at one end of the Bissoe cycle trail that takes you from coast to coast - Portreath to Devoran. We were on a family walk utilising the iWalk app & the pub advertised itself as serving food all day. When we arrived we were handed menus & not told there were any issues. We bought drinks & sat down to review the menu. The ONLY vegetarian option was plain chips or cheesy chips. When we enquired, we were met with a sullen uncommunicative & unhelpful response & told there was only the chip menu on offer which cost £10 each plate! We drank our drinks, used their terribly run down loos & left with hungry children! Such a shame given it’s elevated position but with no competition, why would they need to try? Our advice is to eat somewhere ends! If doing the cycle trail, plan to eat at Portreath where there are several choices or the lovely Bon Appetite at twelveheads for a far more friendlier Cornish welcome!

A disappointing family meal . The menu was very limited, basically chips with a type of burger for £15 a throw. The spicy chicken burgers were uninteresting, definately not spicy accompanied by poor quality frozen type fries, no salad trim on the side, generally very unappealing. I could have put this quality of meal together myself for under a fiver. The place was lacking in ambience and the staff were unattentive. I have wondered about visiting this pub for years, i wish we hadn't bothered!!

Having grown up in the village of Devoran and now living nearby, its sometimes nice to drop in for a drink when we go for a family walk in the area. On our last visit I was appalled at the price we were charged. Two pints of Amstel shandy and two half pints of blackcurrant squash came to £17.60! Absolute rip off. £2.50 per half pint of squash!!! The pub would do well to remember not all of its customers come from affluent backgrounds and in fact, the large majority of the County's population earn a pittance. £6.30 per pint of shandy is what you'd expect in a top notch establishment in London. Not a small village pub in Cornwall which can only muster a score of 3 on its Hygiene Rating. Customer service has always been pretty poor to be honest. On one particular visit I walked into the pub during opening hours and the member staff informed me she wasn't sure if they were open. I thought it was strange bearing in mind she worked there and was stood behind the bar. Anyway, we eventually established I could not buy a drink and I subsequently left. Lovely location but with prices like that it's almost become elitist towards the type of customer it's looking to attract. I saddens me to say I won't be going back.

Fantastic place to unwind and relax

Excellent lunch at this pub. Staff were very welcoming and food (burger and chips) was really tasty. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed lunch and dinner here on different days. Nice small menu but something for everyone. Staff friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. Was lucky to get parked near it but can see it would be a struggle sometimes

Stopped by on a hot sunny day for lunch and refreshments. This Trevor just had to try a pint of Trevor! Burger for lunch was excellent. Great to just sit outside and enjoy.

Lovely food, set in the village of Devoran, near the old Quay, a pub with a lot of local history.

Nice drink and food. Good value

Nice for a snack or small meals

This is an attractive pub both inside and out. Over the years we have dropped in here occasionally when walking along the Old Tram Road. Its in a beautiful spot. Today we came for lunch with Australian family. I had rung in advance as it was half term week and Falmouth was heaving. The woman who answered sounded as if she had been woken up in bed, perhaps this should have alerted us to potential problems. As it was the pub was very quiet. When considering a burger I asked the female waitress what it came with. She pointed out that the menu said it came with all the usual garnishes. It was not specific though and I asked of it came with gherkin which I love. The waitress replied that it did, she was very abrupt and unfriendly in her replies. When the food actually arrived the burgers had no gherkin. I commented on this in a mild way and the waitress said "Well they must have run out then". This was said in way that implied I was being unreasonable and stupid. I said no more but a couple of minutes later she plonked a saucer with a chopped gherkin on it. Hurrah. The food was very mediocre. The person who had the halloumi burger said.the cheese was in a lump and had not been grilled properly. The other person who had the same classic burger as I thought it was mixed with sausage meat. I don 't know but it was not great. Afterwards coffees were ordered, I did not have one but the others said they were awful. My partner who has too much sugar with everything wanted another sachet with his. We were I think being served by the landlord by this point. He went to get more and plonked a big pile of sachets in front of him saying "That will be enough for the rest of your travels". It was the way he said it rather than what he said. Our Australian family commented on how rude he was, and compared his unfriendly manner with how friendly they had found the service in Ireland. My partner said he is "Snarky". So not a very successful lunch, which was a great pity and such a disappoinment when with guests. We felt quite embarrassed

Visited a couple of times recently with my elderly parents, and had the Sunday roast. Superb quality food, plenty of it and great customer service. Will be visiting regularly as it’s my local 😊

Having grown up in the village and now living away have not eaten at my village pub for many years visted tonight with my elderly mum and oldest son had a truly great meal of whitebait hake and creme brulee not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and this was far better than your average pub food John was a great host compliments to the chef and doombar on draught what more can you ask for.

It was a grey rainy day, this is a pub for walkers and sailors, so not their best. Service friendly but inexperienced, restaurant rather cold, food mostly disappointing — except the moules, which were excellent — fish overcooked, weird leeks, inedible red cabbage, sticky toffee pudding too big (never thought I would ever write that!) ……

Booked after recommendation from friends. Awesome pub, great service and care of my two spaniel dogs. Food was superb and fresh….

Staff couldn't care, too busy swotting flies. Greek salad had been lying around most of the day. Ploughmans was a joke.

Felt hassled by staff as soon as we walked in. Not given opportunity to see or make a choice of beer. Noisy - loud music. Lovely quiet beer garden - lots of steps. Unable to have lunch - 45 minute wait. Didn't feel they deserved...

Ate here for lunch. Food was fresh, excellent and well presented and pub was very clean and shiny. Landlord was welcoming and the view from the front benches was stunning.

We visited as part of our holiday and were really impressed. The food was superb, really good quality, well presented with highly attentive staff.

Absolutely delicious meal at this lovely old pub, we had fish of the day which was cod and dauphinois potatoes, and the lamb burger, staff very friendly too, we will be back

This place is really characterful and has a nice friendly vibe. Nine of us ate there and the food we had was mixed. Some dishes were lovely and others a little disappointing. The mussels were small and not meaty, roast potatoes had no crisp and...

Had a very tasty evening meal in this quaint, village Inn. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but do persevere, as the staff are great, the food fab and overall great value for money. It is popular, so would advise you to book.

Delicious fresh seasonal food with friendly service. A wonderful cauliflower and Stilton soup with excellent bread. Followed by roasted kale with broccoli and boulangere potatoes. Very enjoyable

We had a very good Sunday lunch in this old fashioned, comfortable pub in a picturesque setting. Also good beer!

Spent a week in the area and revisited the Old Quay on several occasions. Beers, wine , food and local vibe all really good. Would love to take it home and set it up in my living room 👍👍👍

Visited the Old Quay Inn, as we were staying in Devoran for an evening meal. We was pleasantly surprised how clean, modern and friendly this pub was and dog friendly too. I can highly recommend the beer battered fish, it was so fresh, my daughter...

Visited for Sunday lunch. Really friendly staff, cosy but clean with a nice atmosphere. Charming decor. Will definitely revisit

Very pleasantly surprised by large terraced eating area at the rear of this delightful village pub. Excellent menu and service - hats off to the young man who willingly leapt up and down the steps to make sure our meal and drinks were delivered speedily....

Traditional old pub offering above average food, very friendly service with good food, veg curry was great. Dog friendly place, some outdoor seating out the front. It’s quite a small pub, down a narrow round, small car park.

Unfortunately had to eat outside on a rather chilly day but the beef was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were outstanding particularly the leeks. Service was friendly and efficient and would really love to go back when you can have a meal in the evening....

Dined here on an overcast day in August. Good covid measures in place. Despite a reduced menu there was still plenty of choice. Swift service from friendly staff. Food was very good as was the local ale. If you're looking for a proper Cornish pub,...

Popped in for lunch after following the signs off the main road. Superb welcome and service, lovely pint of Betty Stogs, and good food in a lovely location. What more do you need!

Delightful pub and staff. Were recommended it by a friend and glad we visited! Delicious battered fish and scampi. And one of the best sticky toffee puddings I’ve ever had! Nice outside area too - feels private.

Really friendly with home cooked food. Fish pie excellent and tasty. Quite a busy place popular. Indoors and outside seating areas

Was gasping for a drink by the time I staggered in here at the end of a coast-to-coast hike in the scorching heat. Sank 4 pints of Guinness in record time, which cured my thirst if not my stagger! They'd run out of other unbottled...

This was by far the best meal we had out during our staycation in Cornwall, even if we had a little difficulty finding somewhere to park!We were struggling to find a table for six in the area, but The Old Quay Inn came up trumps. Between us we dined on Mylor Mussels, Scampi,Steak, Fish Burgers and Chicken Curry. It was all delicious, but a special mention goes to the mussels....divine! It ended our holiday perfectly. We even got a recommendation to cure “mask-ne” which was much appreciated. Well done to you all.

The food was all homemade and incredible!! Not a mouthful left. Staff were super lovely. One way in one way out due to Covid. Sanitizer on arrival. Lovely safe and fabulous. Thankyou!

We visited for lunch in mid-July and this was my first trip out to eat. Staff couldn't have been friendlier - we arrived with four bikes and they were very welcoming, showed us where to put them to be safe and talked us through the new normal in a really positive way. Set up worked really well and service was great. Food was really nice, great choice and generous portions. We had such a lovely lunch, it couldn't have been a better introduction to going back to the pub!

A COVID lockdown Sunday lunch made very, very pleasant. Service was outstanding and food/drink excellent - highly recommended, lovely atmosphere from this traditional Inn. Really friendly from the moment I booked the table and we received a lovely Northern welcome from “Bez behind the bar” and other Manchester refugees on the staff. In fact everyone was great and regularly checked we were OK - including our dog! Recommend the mussels, fish pie and southern fried chicken. Also best selection of dirty fries I’ve ever seen. Well done to all at The Old Quay Inn. Thank you.

The Old Quay has done a fantastic job at serving the local community throughout lockdown with their fab take-away service. I'm pleased to say they are continuing to do so now things are slowly getting back to normal. I popped in for a drink a couple of days ago, was so nice to be back! I felt welcome, safe and appreciated. The new procedures put in place are comforting without being clinical. The beer was spot on as usual and our take-away lunch yesterday delicious. Thank you so much for all your hard work and smiling faces through thesescary times for you all.

Excellent lunch and super-friendly service. We had the fish finger sandwich and hallomi sandwich and they arrived quickly and were delicious. The staff were very accommodating and lovely with our toddler. A great experience!
