The Pearl and Trawl in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Lovely surprise when I entered the pub. Fantastic staff great food and special shout out to Chelsea for her great service and banter. Thank you.

Lovely place, apparently not long refurbished. Food was lovely, servers were friendly and attentive and it was a nice venue. Definitely will be back.

It was ok. Popped in for a quick drink. No-one behind the bar until we made noise. No coke, no zero % peroni, but they did offer alternatives (pepsi and bud blue amongst others).

We’ve had a couple of nights in The Travelodge next door. So on our first afternoon we went for tea. They have a three course option 12-17:00. We took full advantage of this. Expecting small portions given the offer we enjoyed three lovely courses. With a £2 supplement for steak £21 each for three courses, we enjoyed a lovely meal in a lovely atmos and the staff are very good too. The evening menu also looks great and for Cornwall the prices are what you’d expect. Drinks are pricey but good. Let’s face it it’s a treat you enjoy whilst away. We certainly did.

Nice decor and atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Good range of food and drinks.

Over priced pub grub. Weird menu. Had a burger was dripping and messy.

Absolutely brilliant service... great atmosphere...great decor and brilliant menu ... Stephanie was brilliant x

Great place to relax and chill out Good food and friendly staff Spot on well happy 😃

Great service , great table , the food was brought to the table quickly, good attention paid to our table

Lovely hot food served by friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

Wish I'd read the other reviews here before going. Bloody awful; 1hr 20mins for five meals, all had something wrong with them and all were cold. Partner has complained but two days later we're still waiting for a reply. Edit: it took them FOUR YEARS to respond to this feedback! Says it all really!

Chelsea was amazing and funny the Sunday roast was delicious and portion sizes were perfect

Food was amazing and came out quickly service was brilliant even checked in to see if everything was alright. overall brilliant thank you Jules And Chels

We’re local and haven’t been since a disappointing meal when it was the falcon. Totally different experience tonight. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, piping hot and tasty food. Becky Jules and Rosie were upbeat and friendly. We took advantage of the mid week set menu which made it an affordable half term treat. Would recommend for laid back, family friendly meal.

Good food lovely service will use again

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the chicken burger was really good especially after the recommendation to add a beefburger to it. All the family enjoy there chicken snitzles and deserts

Excellent all round . Spacious , friendly, clean, great food and drink , everything on hand

Went here as it was convenient that it was next to the hotel we were staying in. Food was nice but a bit pricey for what it was.

From the minute my husband,myself and our little boy walked in we were made to feel very welcome. The two staff working were very attentive and were absolutely fantastic with our little boy making the effort to chat to him which for us was a lovely thing to do as there's not many places that do that!! The food was delicious,the atmosphere was lovely and as I said the staff were just brilliant. We will be back

Asked fora vegan menue to be told I have to look it up on their website. No one in the place the whole time we were there no fire lit in February no atmosphere. Burger buns came with sauce and one bit of lettuce. We had 1 cup tea 1 coffee 1 coke which came to over £60.

I was told to look online if I want a vegan meal so I asked for salad and chips and was told I had to pay for the meat that goes with that meal. Three of us ended up with burger buns. Mine had a bit of lettuce in it, horrible. Extortionate price.

Lovely warm welcome and shown to a dog friendly seat. Very reasonably priced food, which was piping hot and served quickly. So impressed we have looked for Marston’s locally!

Nothing bad to say, very pleased to see the pearl and trawl being a lovely place to eat and drink with a lovely atmosphere

Very comfortable setting although food orders stopped at 7 due to a cook off (didnt establish if there was a competition in the kitchen or a cook was off), but ordered by 6.55 and so we were ok. Not busy at this time of year but it was light and warm in the restaurant. Tables clean and table service prompt. Food delivered as pictures below was quick and absolutely delicious. Plenty of it as well. All in all a good visit. Plenty of parking, easy access, toilets clean and tidy. It will be on my options list for future dining.

Pleasant not enough people to judge the atmosphere haven't tried the food smells good

Lovely meal. Accommodating with table. Happy to provide extra gravy. Brought crackling after asking. Forgot to ask for apple sauce which should have been included. Will definitely come again when visiting Cornwall.

Julienne treated our table with kindness and professionalism. The friendly guy who took us to our table and the young lady that served us drinks were both very good at their jobs too. Thankyou all, we'll see you soon. We were the rowdy lot by the window 🤣. (Camelford Up and Running)

Great service, lovely food and nice cocktail choice. Thanks

My sister niece and I, recently revisited , and were warmly greeted by Becky , Becky seemed to be the only member of staff , but she was very helpful, informative and generally a real asset to the pub , a people person , it makes a vast difference to your experience of a place if the person that serves you is as welcoming and helpful as Becky . Much appreciated .

Very nice food and reasonably priced, great service with friendly staff. Roasts very nice and the burgers.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here very dog friendly. Thanks

We’ve been here a few times for lunches and dinners and have always had great food and very nice staff. We visited again last Sunday and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. The restaurant was lovely and warm and nicely arranged. We were looked after very well by Chelsea and Julianne We’ll be back!

Didn't actually go in..we deliver to b&b Indian takeaway (SPICE GURU) from in town.

Having visited a few years ago and not been overly impressed my Partner and I thought we’d give it a try before doing the weekly shopping. Used the website to book which was really easy. Upon arrival we were greeted straight away and shown to our table. Drink orders taken pretty much straight away and once we’d decided on food our food order was taken. Didn’t have to wait long. Both decided on the two curry’s available which were absolutely delicious. Was going to have dessert but couldn’t fit it in. Overall a really lovely place with delicious food and very friendly helpful staff. Will be visiting again!

had a lovely meal the food was great staff very friendly and helpful can recommend and will be back plenty of parking and lovely views

It was a brilliant meal and loverly setting the only down side was all the rubbish in the car park and the none working lights so it was extremely dark once we left

Nice atmosphere and good service. Food all served quickly, with a smile and all in good order.

Great place to eat but why oh why do you not have Ploughman’s on your menu???

Excellent food and excellent service 👍

We had booked a table for eight people and although my meal was acceptable (steak & ale pie) the steaks that were served were not so nice and no one enjoyed them or the vegetables that accompanied. What ruined my enjoyment were the number of dogs in the restaurant. The two tables next to ours had three dogs between them and there were more on other tables. I do not eat at a restaurant to be surrounded by dirty, noisy, barking, unsanitary animals. The Food Hygiene Regulations 2013, under EU Regulation (EC) 852/2004, Annex II states that dogs are not allowed in areas where food is prepared, handled, or stored. In the definition of a Restaurant, it says that it is a place where food is prepared, so, of course they are not allowed in, by law. If a restaurant allows dogs into their establishments, then it says a lot about how the restaurant views its own hygiene. If it lowers, it’s standards by letting in animals where else does it fail to meet hygiene standards. Even the dog owner’s website “We Want Dogs” say “In general, dogs are not welcome in restaurants. People find it unsanitary or unhygienic”. Does anyone need a better reason to keep them out. I will not be eating here again.

Nice friendly welcome, all three of us had different meals which all came out nice and hot, very nice and affordable.

The staff here are friendly and professional. Always welcoming with a smile and great customer service. Julianne is always behind the bar and always helpful and making sure you are having a lovely experience with every visit.

Lovely food, really good portions. A great night out with friends.

Excellent food and amazing friendly staff, will definitely go again 😀

We ate here 2 months ago and were disappointed but thought we'd give it another try. Wish we hadn't! Prawn cocktails were tasteless with tough prawns. The mixed grills arrived within seconds of finishing our starters and had obviously been kept under the grill to keep warm as the fried eggs were solid! They never came to ask how our food was, or ask if we wanted further drinks (they lost out on 2 large gin and tonics and a pepsi). They did ask if we wanted dessert and my wife said yes but after waiting 20 minutes for the menu we gave up. When paying They asked if we enjoyed our meal, I replied "so so" and my wife said "no". The waitress didn't even ask why we weren't happy! They were not busy, only another 8 people in. We will not be returning. Also food served on unhygienic broken wooden boards!

Atmosphere is always cozy, the staff welcoming, and the food great.

Had terrible meals here in past but gave in only had a sandwich waiter was very nice but can only say it was average nothing special

Truly dreadful; awful, appalling. Dependant upon the Travelodge next door they take every advantage - the price are out of this world. Staff? Didn't care.

Update December 10th 2024. Had a pint of Hawkstone lager at the Pearl and Trawl last night, frankly disappointing and not in the same league as San Miguel, each to their own. We had dinner which was very nice indeed, with excellent service. Update May 9th 2024, had San Miguel tonight, lovely. Scamp and fries with mushy peas hit the spot. Great pint of Pedigree, attentive service and food good but deep fried too long. Update April 30 2024, no Pedigree this time but enjoyed the San Miguel. Baked Camembert and fish and chips lovely and really friendly and attentive service from Maggie.

Arrived at Travelodge at 2140 and pub was shut. A group of 9 people all wanting a drink. Website said open until 2300. Spoke to staff who refused to open for us. Great British service.

Julianne and Georgia were absolutely lovely. Very professional and warm.

The best restaurant with best staff members :)

This is the third and best time we have visited this restaurant and have found it absolutely brilliant. Special thanks goes to Georgina, Julianne, Becky and of course Zak the Manager, who have made the excellent changes within such a short space of time, to make it such a great customer experience. They were all exceptionally welcoming, friendly and took the time to all and listen, nothing was a problem. Special thanks also to the chef. Food was fabulous. Thank you all for a great mini break, we will be back again, very soon.

called in on the off chance wanting a Sunday carvery, they offer a plated roast. Opted for the roast beef, delicious, albeit I like my beef cooked for a little longer, the yorkshire was amazing! pricey enough. The staff were all very attentive, quick service & the place was very clean.Would go again 👍

Lovely ambiance, excellent food and first class service from the lady serving us

It was fantastic. I was there on my own with my 3 children (5yo and 2yo twins) and the staff were absolutely brilliant. They talked to the children and listened when my 5yo asked politely for a milk. They were extremely accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. They even kindly kept an eye on the twins when I took the 5yo to the toilet and I felt safe enough in the environment to be able to do that. So thank you. They made what could’ve been a very stressful Sunday lunch outing in to a very easy, welcoming and happy time. My 5yo has asked to go there again next Sunday!

So glad we have given this little golden nugget another go as haven't been here for sometime due to previous management and crap food x3 and out . But has now changed hands and oh my goodness so pleasantly surprised the food was amazing staff and georgie were attentive accommodating in every way most definitely will be frequenting again like we used to 💗 already booked in for a festive dinner in December courtesy of georgie sorting this . All staff and management you have turned it around brilliantly you will.go from strength to strength and wish you all the best 👍🏻 keep.smashing it team xxx

Staff were very helpful and accommodating, the steaks we ordered wasn't right so they very quickly changed them, such wonderful food and served on hot plates.

Always very friendly staff. You feel at home from the minute you arrive. The menu has lots of choices at good prices and I like to charge my electric car whilst we eat. Win win.

Lovely restaurant. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Great hospitality, clean and good food.

My only gripe would be the lighting. Its quite dark over some of the tables which makes reading the menu difficult but hey ho, Its the food that's important. If you eat here you'd better be hungry. Had a potato, cheese & leek pie and mash and could only just finish it, there was so much food. All good quality too with lovely pastry. Later in the week we had fish and chips. The lady said the fish were large. She wasn't joking. Again I only just managed to finish mine and couldn't fault the quality. Delicious mushy peas too, must have been made by the chef. If they were bought in I want to know your source. I can't understand why it wasn't buzzing with more customers. Not expensive either. Extremely handy if you are staying in the Travelodge next door. Everywhere else we had food was more expensive for smaller portions. Service was excellent too. Overall a great experience and wouldn't hesitate to eat there again.

Arrived a little early but that was no problem for our greeter who was well presented and friendly. The restaurant was quiet so there were a lot of seating options. Our drinks order was taken and quickly arrived. The food order was also prompt. We found the food to be very nice and enjoyed the whole experience.

We came for our fitness crew party, great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, great service

We stayed in the hotel next door. Learned that the pub was doing breakfasts so booked with Zak for the four of us. Breakfast was superb and we were looked after by all the staff. To top it all we had a 'Heroes' breakfast that supported servicemen with a donation in the price. Great pub, great staff, highly recommended!

We always ask our staff to provide feedback on their experience good or bad when on their travels and their review for the Pearl and Trawl... ' Very welcoming and friendly Staff consistent over 3 days. The restaurant and bar area appeared spotlessly clean and looks as if it has been recently refurbished. The bar area has a good range of beers and lagers on draught and bottles. Dinner was served very quickly with great portions and at a much better standard than most (and we get around the UK quite a bit). A lovely atmosphere and will definitely return next time we are in the area. The Manager and Team are a credit to the Marston chain'. Thank you for looking after us. WORKSAFEPAT Ltd

Just right. No rush and good service.

Lovely place with great staff. The place itself is well decorated and looked after

Absolutely excellent food and service at this marston restaurant. Food is so well priced, lovely decor. Would like to say a big thank you to our server Rosie, really made our visit great.

Absolute transformation, wonderful atmosphere and the Sunday lunch was superb , friendly staff make the visit worthwhile

We was quickly seated and the staff were highly attentive with their service. All the staff were professionally dressed, well kept and always had a smile and were all friendly and easy to talk to. The food was fantastic with creative unique choices and creations that I (we) hadn’t had before and thoroughly enjoyed everything we had. The food came out quickly and the atmosphere and decor were perfectly presented. When I am next in Newquay for my holidays we will be absolutely returning! Also as an added note we used the taste card which gave us a discount which got handled with zero issues :)

I went with my mum for dinner on the way home from being out all day. The staff were very pleasant and the service was in a good time frame. The food came out relatively quick and hot. The staff checked our satisfaction and seemed efficient. It wasn’t too noisy or busy but then it was a Monday. The prices are OK for wadebridge, probably a fiver less per meal than most other places. We liked in there because it feels open has friendly staff and you know what your getting and we had a nice dinner, thanks.

First visit ro rhe Pearl and Trawl and I was very impressed. Lovely atmosphere, everything very clean and well designed set up. Four of us had food which was all delicious, and served in a timely manner. The staff were brilliant, friendly, helpful and attentive. We enjoyed it so much we booked for the next day for the Sunday lunch.

Nice decor but still a ‘Travelodge pub’. ‘Cheapest’ single gin and tonic £8.30 !!! Gin - £5.15 Tonic - £3.15 (Fever Tree) Disgusting price for a basic spirit and mixer! Been in pubs in Padstow and Wadebridge today but this is the most expensive drink of day by a long way! Marstons you should be ashamed of yourselves!!

We hadn’t been here for a long time but it’s now fantastic , brilliant staff wonderful food . It seems a change of management has made a big difference, Our meal was so nice we booked for Sunday lunch

Great pub with brilliant, helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Food was delicious and service was perfect. Would recommend and will definitely be back again

the last time me and my wife came here in march 2024 the steak and ale pie with chips even though the was frozen style chips was nice and the pie was great the staff was fantastic .I dont know what happened .. both me and the wife went to the travelodge nextdoor for our 27th wedding anniversary and thought we would have the same as before the only thing different was my wife had the same pie as i had because she usually has chicken pie because beef and pork pies dont sit well with her . the pies and chips came out quickly which was great but the food was very poor . the pies my wife and i could eat but the chips was hot yes but smothered in salt ( i had requested nothing that has extra salt i cant eat anything with added salt) i could not even eat 1 chip because of this i did report it to the young female staff member who said that yes all the chips have salt and the walked away before i could say much more the i cant eat anything with added salt with a shrug of her shouldes the young blond girl was gone back into the kitchen .that night the pie came back with a vengence i was violently ill was a real bad 27th anniverary we wont and i cant return . when i say my doctor who has taken the name and address of the place said it was lucky i didnt go into hospital so we wont return

Such lovely staff, and brilliant service

Visited for a meal and drinks, served by Georgina who was extremely helpful and friendly, went out of her way to accommodate requests, the Chef also kindly made a blue cheese sauce for my wife even though it wasn't on the menu and added extra chillies on my kebab. Many thanks

Really nice pub, food very good, and reasonably priced. The service was excellent.

Definitely a 5 star for this one. Fantastic greeting and service from Becky, very well looked after. Great cocktails and really nailed the long island ice tea. Food arrived in good time and was perfectly cooked with great flavour. Will definitely be coming again.

Food quality is excellent, the service was exceptional and the atmosphere was homely and welcoming. What’s not to love about this place! Massive shout out to all the staff I can’t fault anything. Thank you!

Staff good but maybe have OAP deals or smaller dishes.

We thought it was the best option for lunch in this horrible weather and we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent standard of service from Becky and Amy. I have to say that the Sunday lunch was one of the best ones I’ve had, we couldn’t decide on the meat so both of us went for the three meat option and it was delicious. Loads of perfectly cooked veg include gorgeous red cabbage, perfect turkey, pork and beef and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Unfortunately we were beaten by our dinners and couldn’t manage a pudding this time but our Baileys Lattes were the perfect meal ending. Sadly we don’t live nearby or we would make this our ‘go to’ place

We had a couple of bad experiences here last year but decided to give it another chance. Wow! What a difference! They had virtually everything on the menu. The Mixed Grill was amazing, a good selection of beautiful meats. We were served by Stephanie who was lovely. Friendly and attentive throughout and even offered a doggy bag for our 2 dogs! Definitely worth going back.

Really lovely family meal, staff friendly, venue clean and welcoming, recommend

What a lovely place to eat, very good choice on the menu clean tidy everywhere. Staff polite and helpful, didn’t have to wait long for the food, highly recommended. Georgina and Demi looked after us so well. Thank you 😊

Had a lovely evening here and me with friends couldn’t ask for any more

Geat food and atmosphere. Staff were very polite. Will come back again. Thankyou

We went for late lunch on a bank Holiday weekend, it was quiet that day but it Is a large dinner area

We came to the Pear and Trawl on the last day of our holiday with our family who live in Padstow. We had heard very good reports from the local people where we were staying. We were greeted warmly on arrival. Our server appeared very nervous and unsure, however, she managed well. She did need some help delivering our meals but no major issues. Our food was excellent, I had the signature burger which was huge and very filling and my husband had the steak. The only issue was the steaks all were rarer than most medium rare so something to be aware of, however, they were very tender and very tasty judging by the empty plates. The restaurant is dog friendly and has a dog station with cuddly blankets, treats and water, this is on par with the majority of places in Cornwall. We would definitely recommend and return when we come back to visit family again.

A slightly slow start but excellent service and food overall

Staying nearby so we decided to go for Sunday lunch. It was fairly quiet, which was fine. End of the summer season. Very pleasant and attentive staff. We all had carvery which were very nice. Decent portions and meat was very good.

Apart from the food being absolutely fabulous, the two girls who served us, were excellent and made it such a great evening. my only one small thing to comment on is the food came out so quickly, which is great, but a little more time would have been preferable. but this certainly didn't spoil the meal.

Very nice food, great atmosphere and lovely people especially maggie our server.

This was booked by a long-lost relative for a get together after 25-30 years. We read the reviews and to be honest we were a bit worried about what we’d be faced with, as many reviews were extremely bad. However, we have to say that we enjoyed a really good experience: from the warm welcome and excellent service to the delicious meals. We’d recommend it.

Lovely steak ! We were a bit unsure as to whether to try here as some reviews weren’t great but actually pleasantly surprised. 5 of us with two courses each soft drinks no alcohol bill was about £150. We all really enjoyed our meal and bonus able to charge the car while we dined

Microwaved food at £14.50 sausage and mash overpriced and under delivered.

Lovely service today, I’ll definitely return

I found the food to be ok. My daughter did not like the roast beef Sunday lunch. My Main was not to bad but small portion of fries with it. The garlic bread with cheese was a bit odd. It was a bun with cheese on top. I found it a bit expensive for what we got.
