The Pickwick Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Everything exceeded our expectations! The room was beautiful, spacious & really well appointed. The view is stunning - we couldn't stop looking at the ever changing scenery. Dinner was great, generous portions & nicely cooked. Breakfast was equally good. The staff were all friendly & professional. We would have loved to have stayed for longer, & wouldn't hesitate to return.

We visited with family and had an absolutely lovely meal. Food was excellent and the service the best we have had in Cornwall for a long while. Special recognition to Jemma who was just great.

Lovely food, myself and my son had roast which were gorgeous and my husband had the burger which he said was the best he’s ever had!! Great service and a very warm welcome. Give it a go you will not be disappointed. Also dog friendly as well.

We ate here the last time we visited Cornwall 4 years ago so decided to book in again during our holiday this year. The restaurant has beautiful views over the Camel Estuary so it makes for a really great setting to eat. I chose the belly pork, my wife had the fish and chips and my 11 year old son had the adults burger. All 3 dishes were fantastic and the portion sizes were larger than expected. The prices may be a little more than other restaurants but I definitely think what we had was worth every penny to be honest. There was also a great drinks selection and the service was also excellent. We would definitely go back again in the future if we were in that area of Cornwall.

A great family meal with a party of 11 and children aged 6-9 who were really well looked after. Food was fantastic and service spot on. Thank you 👍

A beautiful view over the Camel Estuary in the Restaurant, made it a perfect place to eat. The food was really good. We would highly recommend The Pickwick Inn to anyone.

I've been going to The Pickwick every year for the last 20 years but this year will be the last. Our party was divided into two tables and one table had finished their main course before the other was served. The staff were indifferent when this was pointed out. The food was good but not the kind of experience we had come to expect. I felt we were treated quite shabbily.

Just popped in for lunch, a drink & a snack. Excellent food & wine - and a very decent cup of coffee as well. Stunning views.

Wasn’t the warmest of welcomes on arrival , but staff were ok . Sauvignon was on the warm side and had to ask for ice to cool it down which wasn’t great. Food was excellent, hot fresh and tasty. As we had our dog we had to eat in the bar which lacked atmosphere, apparently the restaurant which looked very nice has great views . For bar food it was pricey compared to other similar establishments

The portions has gone a lot smaller. The Duck breast was over cooked, presentation was shocking. This is the second time we have been very disappointed with the food here. Sorry eddy and jenny but your prices don’t match the value you get. We weren’t asked anything about the food at the end . Sorry.

We visit Padstow every year Each time we book a meal here as our preferred choice as we have always had good meals Unfortunately one simple burger meal had to be sent back 4 times. We are sorry to write this as we are not complainers.we have run business for 40 years but this lacked good management from the top. That’s all we are saying

Came for the night for their special deal and all I can say is what a fantastic time we had , warm welcome on arrival, room was amazing with a epic view even in the rain 😁 Had the fish and chip special which was the biggest piece of fish I've seen for a long time, lovely chips . Excellent value at only £10. Retired to our room for a drink and relax. Breakfast again was excellent plenty of choice and all local ingredients. Couldn't fault it at all. Great service and friendly staff.

Lovely views but sadly the food was disappointing and expensive. Not a great atmosphere either. Appreciate that it was early in the season but that shouldn't really make any difference.

We found a gem of a place at the head of the Camel Estuary. Quite simply perfect for a few days exploring this beautiful area. The Pickwick Inn is full of old world charm while having super modern rooms with fantastic views down the Camel estuary towards Padstow and Rock. We love this part of Cornwall and come here a lot from our base in Looe and although we can be home in 45mins we will be staying here again! As mentioned the rooms are brilliant. To add to this the food was also so good and the staff friendly and chatty all making for a great and memorable experience. We would recommend all day long!

We had a family meal. Wow the Goan chicken curry was lovely, Big chunks of chicken and just the right heat. I also had sticky toffee pudding, not a usual option as I am a coeliac with options usually limited to ice cream meringue or brownie. Wow the pudding was amazing,the best I have ever had. Thank you so much.

Just stayed here for the first time. Rooms are beautiful with wonderful views. We had dinner in the bar which was also very good. The bar & the rooms are dog friendly.

I’ll keep it short…. Booked for Sunday Roast around 1.15, £20 per roast, I chose chicken and partner chose pork. Ordered and paid at the bar so £50ish quid with drinks. Food arrived promptly, well presented but was honestly the most disappointing meal I’ve had in a long time! Chicken was dry, roast potatoes had a weird tang, the yorkshire looked great but had a weird texture, gravy was watery, the veg which was served separately was boiled to death and floppy and to top it off, no stuffing?!? We both struggled to eat it, partner was getting embarrassed because it was quiet in the bar and she thought staff could see I wasn’t eating, tried to palm some off to the dog but he wouldn’t eat it either?!? Anyway in short, staff were nice but we left gutted that we paid £50 and still hungry. They did check to see if we were okay but there was no way we were eating anything else there and I’m not the person to demand cash back! Shame but probably won’t go back…..

On entering the pub we thought what lovely cosy setting , very old world with beams , and busy ,we then went through to a very modern restaurant, which didn't seem to match the quaintness of the pub , we were welcomed by a waitress and seated and given menus , my 1st thought was it was cold in there yes there were only 3 tables dining in the huge space , but you should still feel warm. The wine menu was extremly limited if you didn't want a bottle, and just wanted a glass I ordered a dry pino grigio rose , when it arrived it was very sweet I asked had a mistake been made, and I'd been given a zinfandel instead , but the waitress returned saying no it was correct, I asked could I swap it as it was way too sweet , and most definitely not dry as a pino should be ,which they allowed but there was no other rose options by the glass so had to opt for a white pino instead. We then placed our order my husband ordered the pate and at £12.00 we thought quite expensive for a starter, but thought it must be something special I ordered the prawn and crayfish cocktail, again £14.00 for a starter which I've never paid in a pub restaurant, These prices are more high end restaurant, which this place is certainly not.my husband ordered the shepards pie off the special board to be told sorry i don't think there's any left , it sold out at lunchtime ( so why wasn't it removed from the board ), it wasn't exactly busy in the restaurant. It still wasn't removed after our order as a couple who came in 20 mins after us ordered it again to be told again no sorry it sold out . Our starters arrived and quite frankly we're nothing special for the money my husband had a small pot of pate a couple of small pieces of French toast and some beetroot pickle mine was a dish with iceberg lettuce with very cheap small prawns thrown inside covered in a spicy sauce no sign of any crayfish , for the price it was downright disgraceful I'd of expected a beautiful glass dish featuring what was advertised and maybe a longastine for decoration, but it was a cheap prawn cocktail aka 1970"s style. No service check was done throughout our starters, even though 4 waitresses were stood around by the kitchen doing nothing much , when the dishes were collected by a young girl I mentioned the lake of crayfish for her to say I will go speak to the chef , so I expected her to do so and return with an explanation, but no nothing , when the mains came it was a different waitress she was new that evening as she told us she was training earlier ,I again mentioned my disappointment at the starter , and she said she would speak to the manager . She actually did and returned saying the crayfish wasn't up to standard so they chose not to include it ,they did rake it off the bill, but sorry if you cannot provide the ingredients that's on the menu then you apologise and offer an alternative, or say are you happy to receive it without one of the main ingredients and don't just serve it and say nothing, thinking the customer will pay for something that's missing the main ingredient. We chose the pork belly main it was nice but we expected separate dishes of vegetables not it just all thrown on one plate with no care really taken apart from a pice of crackling stuck upright in the mash. Sorry but This meal was well below average for the prices the place is charging . We never leave a restaurant without leaving a tip but sorry the whole experience left of feeling one wasn't deserved last night . I would definitely not recommend this place nor would I return . Its over priced cheap quality food, The one waitress that was okay and doing her job was the new lady , but all the others seemed like they just couldn't be bothered.

Such lovely staff and wonderful food. Came here with a group of friends and got a bit stuck with needing cash for taxi back and the staff were so kind sorting out cash for us and making sure we wee ok. The food was really tasty and great and really lovely service. Would definitely recommend to friends and family if in the area.

We have stayed in Padstow for many years on holiday however , somehow we have missed the Pickwick Inn until now. We stayed for just one night and will be sure to return for longer next time. From the moment we arrived and welcomed by the very friendly staff we knew we had made a good decision. The bedrooms are spacious and have amazing views over the estuary. The rooms are comfortable, well furnished and the local soaps in the bathroom are a great touch. We had an evening meal in the restaurant where the staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was first class. Likewise the breakfast was excellent and the views over the estuary makes it a good start to the day. A great mix of hotel, local pub and nice restaurant. Fantastic !

Delicious food & attentive service. We booked our reservation easily online. Staff were friendly yet professional. Food was absolutely delicious. We had 3 of the specials that were on offer and one meal off the main menu. Desserts - what can I say the best chocolate brownie with home made honeycomb, and the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream was also fantastic We arrived whilst it was still light so we had the gorgeous view out over to Rock. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be visiting again.

Stayed for 2 nites the room was fantastic very comfortable great views and furnished to a high standard throughout. Breakfast was fantastic staff very friendly and helpful and also ate there both nites great menu and food was fantastic would highly recommend a stay here thanks for a great weekend .

Stunning views with beautiful food. We were there over 2.5 hours, service was friendly but a little slow (there were a couple of larger parties in) but that wouldn’t put us off from going back to visit again.

Delicious food & excellent service. Booked easily online. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Food was absolutely delicious. Very ample portions. Reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere. Cannot recommend enough.

The best outside Padstow went twice for Sunday lunch and it just got better!!! We normally go the mariners at Rock but omg this is the best at a third of the price

Great big Sunday roast dinner and pudding - we ate the lot. Great location and views although we were in the bar as we had a dog. Lovely old pub and good service.

We stayed at the Inn and dined at Oliver's Restaurant. It was lovely from start to finish. We had two dogs, which the hotel welcomed. The room was huge, as was the bathroom. For an overnight stopover, we could not ask for more. Hand soap is the only request we could have possibly made.

The most accommodating pub/restaurant in the area. Landlord and Landlady warm and welcoming, overseeing a friendly and efficient team. We turned up without a reservation and with our dog and were welcomed in. The food was fantastic, absolutely faultless. I had the sea bass and my husband had roast pork. Portion size was generous and the flavours were exceptional. Great value for money and no words to describe the view. Can’t wait for the next visit!

Ate in the restaurant, view is amazing! My fiancé had the steak which was beautiful, I had the catch of the day ‘Dover Sole,’ which came with peeled boiled potatoes, green beans and I believe pak choi. For me, it was bland. I had the fish last time we ate here (sole) & it was divine - bearnaise sauce, green beans & baby new potatoes in their skins. Will try again when we’re down at Christmas.

What a fabulous spot! Beautiful place with the most amazing views over Padstow estuary. We came for Sunday dinner and took a late booking as it was all that was available. The service was excellent & despite the time everything was still available on the menu ( unlike other places who always seem to tell you that 3 or 4 things have sold out!) The food was delicious. I has roast beef, my husband roast chicken. We were regularly asked by waitresses if they could get us anything. Prices were also very reasonable. We have already booked to go again!

Starters were disappointing overall for the price but the chickpea fritters were excellent Mains were all good size and very tasty everyone enjoyed them Reason for the 3 stars is the overall service and experience was not on parr with the food and the surroundings...

The view out the window of the restaurant was stunning and it is definitely worth a trip just for the view! The food was absolutely gorgeous but I would say slightly over priced for what it was (me and my partner both opted for burgers-...

We booked at the last minute for dinner with our two young boys while staying nearby. It was a 4.30pm early booking (booked the restaurant) and we were a bit nervous about how our rowdy boys would be! The staff were really welcoming, the view...

We contacted via email at 13.20 as you cannot get through by phone, asking if food was being served, the reply was prompt,we were told that the kitchen would be closed from around 2.15 for an hour. We hoped to be able to be there...

On our way to Pickwick we asked ourselves: A room with sea view – can it be possible? We felt driving farther and farther from the sea. But we were wrong. Room #1 turned out to be luxurious, spacious and with a fantastic view (although...

I booked a bar table for an evening meal with my family - two adults and two teenagers plus our dog (which is why we had to have a bar table) We chose to sit outside as it was a nice evening. We were the...

Visited for Sunday lunch. I had beef, husband had lamb, kids had spaghetti bol and sausage and mash. Great food throughly enjoyed by all. My only complaint would be the size of table that we were allocated was tiny for 4 people. Would visit again...

Location, typical Cornwall stunning scenery. The attached pub had tired decoration desperately in need of renovation, very limited menu and poor quality food. Rooms again look tired and poor cleaning shedule with disinterested staff. Everything seems cooked thick in oil which makes the limiter menu...

Outstanding pub, restaurant and staff, who super friendly. The food is second to none, like the restaurant view. Will definitely return!

Having read the reviews I was expecting something more than bang average. We ate on a Sunday night so I can only assume we caught them on an “off” moment. You have to order at the bar (so straight away it’s not a restaurant )...

We have eaten here several times over the years and in the main it has always been very good. This visit was the same. It has without a doubt one of the best views from a restaurant without being right by the sea. The restaurant...

We were looking for some great fish and we found it here. We happened upon this place after coming down a very narrow road even for Cornish standards and were not really sure what we would find at the end but we were so glad...

Well, this was a find! We've holidayed in this area a lot recently and this was our first visit to the Pickwick Inn. How could we have missed it. A stunning location overlooking rolling hills down to the Camel estuary. The restaurant has floor to...

Amazing place this. With amazing staff, service and more importantly food with stunning scenery from its restaurant, highly recommend you dine or stay here! Burgers and fish dishes were spot on! We brought along our dog, so unfortunately we couldn’t eat in the restaurant area....

Second visit here but this time sat in the bar area. Arrived early and told we could not be served until 5 pm so had a thirty minute wait. Nobody told us it was order at the bar and we were not given menus. Nevertheless...

Lovely view and good food. The staff were pretty friendly and the service was efficient. Good for a quick lunch.

We were looking forward to returning to Pickwicks as we’ve been coming for several years on holiday. The prices have massively increased, the menu has shrunk as have the portions! Yes we’re aware of cost of living etc but 2 slices of chicken, 2 tender...

Will definitely return. Warm and friendly roaring fire. Nice bar. Outstanding food. Two very hungry sons agreed. Great !

This was our third visit, and the food certainly did not disappoint. The roast dinners, including a vegan option, were delicious. The burger was one of the best we’ve eaten - it was so juicy. The desserts were also very tasty - even to a...

We booked Oliver’s which is the restaurant attached to The Pickwick. It’s light and spacious with gorgeous views over the estuary. We had Sunday lunch, the staff were really lovely and very attentive. The food was excellent, especially the beef which melted in your mouth....

We visited this pub on Sunday afternoon after seeing a brown direction sign for it on the main road. We were greeted and seated without a booking at a chosen newly vacated table by a nice log fire. We ordered drinks and a roast beef...

A bit of a hidden gem in terms of its location, a traditional Cornish pub accompanied by a modern restaurant overlooking an absolutely beautiful view of the River Camel as pictured from our table. The food was extremely tasty and reasonably priced, with quick service...

Lovely roast. Quite pricey for poor service however. The food was fantastic and the chefs delivered their side. Really nice food and great range of veg and sides and perfectly cooked well portioned meat. I will say that the service was incredibly lacking. After being...

Visited on a quiet Sunday. Not many tables in but it's nice when there isn't loads of people. The views are stunning from the restaurant. We have been before previously and partner enjoyed the roast last time where as I had a burger. He convinced...

We arrived on a business Sunday afternoon with no reservation and could not have had a more wonderful and accommodating welcome. We were found a lovely table in the bar and enjoyed - literally - the best Sunday roast ever! £20 a roast is top...

A lovely welcome, a table in the window to watch the sunset, 1/2 bottle of champagne. Chose the scallops and duck breast from the specials menu. Two absolutely wonderful plates of food. Congratulations to chef and front of house staff. Regrettably no sunset to speak...

We recently visited Olivers Restaurant for Lunch and all I can say is that it was amazing from start to finish. When we arrived, we went to the bar for a drink as we were early for our reservation, this was not a problem for...

Very expensive poor quality food in grim bar area (because we had dogs), all four of us had different menu choices and all left food on the plate. We mentioned how disappointed we were to a totally disinterested waiter. You pay for the food in...

Well where do I start! What a fantastic place to stay, the room we had was amazing, wonderful views, the breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in a hotel. 5 star all round.

Booked a last minute table to celebrate my birthday, we were seated in the bar area as we had our dog with us. The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was out of this world! I opted for...

Had a solo meal as a recce for a future large family celebration. What a dissapointment. Because I had a dog had to book the bar. OK, but no welcome, service was diabolical, no one really noticed me even though I reported to the bar...

First of all I must comment on how beautiful the location is and how nice the restaurant looked. We went as a large group booking to which we arrived and tables were spilt into two smaller groups. We were first greeted by a lovely waitress...

Lovely view. Should have gone to Morrisons for my pie. Very salty gravy. I did complain but was told that this is how they make it and no one complained last night about the gravy and that it was the same. Great we had last...

We were stunned by the views and atmosphere the weather certainly helped but great all round ! Well done and see you soon, think we Will definitely book next time.

We booked for Sunday dinner, arrived early and were well accommodated. Service was a bit patchy and the food was average - food was not hot as plates were left on the side and veg had been reheated in microwave rather than freshly cooked. Duck...

Won’t rush back unfortunately. Looked a lovely place on first arriving but the lady with blonde hair who met us as we came in was quite rude that we didn’t have a booking. Wished we had walked back out at that point as the Sunday...

Stayed for 3 nights . What a great find! Loved everything about this place. The room was so spacious with an absolutely stunning view. The bathroom was of my dreams…. Huge freestanding bath and separate walk in shower … even a tv in there… Staff...

Can not speak highly enough of this place!! Wow wow wow!! Just had the most wonderful weekend away! Fully catered for my gluten free requirements!! Stunning accommodation, breathtaking views, perfectly situated, so much to do, great staff, great food!! Yes it’s pricey-but go on-treat yourself...

Amazing food and service! Vegan fish and chips were incredible!! Lovely staff!! Lovely pub! Beautiful views! Dog friendly! Worth paying a bit extra money for!

We turned up on the off chance that we, family of 5 and 2 dogs, could get a decent meal. We originally sat outside as one of our dogs is reactive, but it got cold so we moved inside and were given a table out...

Have eaten here many times over the years when in the area but sadly the quality has gone down and the prices very much up! Poor value for money, the quality of the food is average pub food, nothing special or flavoursome and the prices...

Slightly off the beaten track but we’ll worth a visit. We booked a table in the bar and it was lovely. Excellent helpful service and a well balanced menu reasonable prices, overall a really excellent pub meal. There are so many places to choose from...

We have just spent a fantastic week here and very sad to go home. The view when you enter your room is just wow, as is the room itself modern clean comfortable with great bed and shower. The pickwick inn itself is quaint with absolutely...

The best place we have been to in cornwall, from the rooms to the pub, the restaurant, the views and of course the staff. A special mention to Owner Nikki, to bar staff Sally and April and Chef Erik. They went above and beyond for...

Second time we paid a visit to this establishment, we hadnt booked our first visit, the landlord tried seating us in the noisy bar. It was noisy as he was hosting his friends and luckily enough his wife after a quiet word seated us in...

Visit here for a meal most years when we are in the Wadebridge area. Dined there on Sunday evening, what an absolute disaster. Places like this shouldn’t do Sunday roasts if they can’t do them properly. The roast potatoes, roast parsnips, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire...

Beautiful room lovely food great staff nice find I’m actually glad we were just outside Padstow not so manic very peaceful so a great nights sleep

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 3 nights, the room was lovely had a huge bathroom with a bath and shower even a tv! Also the view was amazing, the breakfast was great every morning and super easy, they even accommodated for us when...

Fantastic restaurant with a fantastic view, all made better by the fantastic food. We were a party of 8 adults and 4 children, all part of a 50th Birthday celebration, and had a fantastic time. Would strongly recommend.

I went here for my 30th, the staff were great over the phone and at the door who was also working at the bar. The views were also lovely. However the waitress that served us at the restaurant was quite rude and not hospitable. She...

What a find! Having lived in the area a number of years ago, I’d heard good things about the Inn. When we passed the sign heading back to our hotel, we decided to pop in. We stayed and had a drink and booked a table...

We accidentally found this place whilst lost.. but what a lucky find. OMG the roast dinners are amazing .. the nut roast and homity pie for veggies is so good .. we drove back again taking two hours. Worth the drive , we only ate...

It was our first visit to the Pickwick’s Inn as we were on holiday in Cornwall. We had dinner and what a view on the estuary in the evening. The food was delicious and we greatly enjoyed our meal. There was no rush to leave...

Okay food. Okay drinks. Mediocre service. No smiles from staff, and no management to be seen. Beer only upside.

Food not nearly as good as 2 years ago, but prices have gone up considerably. Riding the Padstow penny train until it kills them.

Sadly the Pickwick did not live up to expectations. No access to the pool or the garden, rooms dirty, food of poor quality and customer service non existent.

We’ve visited The Pickwick Inn many times and have always had amazing service, delicious meals and the most friendly staff. Jenny and Bob are wonderful hosts and always go the extra mile to ensure their customers are well looked after. Excellent value for money and...

We have just returned from dinner at Olivers restaurant and because we were the only diners thought we were in for a good meal. How wrong we were. My wife and I had the fish and chips and my son the seafood curry. Firstly the...

What a beautiful place and dinner there topped it. The service was exceptional too. We had the seafood curry. So crammed with seafood and beautifully cooked.

When we first walked in, The Pickwick Inn had a very welcoming atmosphere. Couple this with a pleasant restaurant and beautiful views, it makes for an ideal venue. But…the food is lacking in taste yet the prices are strong. The squid salad starter set the...
