The Pig at Harlyn Bay Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good in parts! We had lunch in the Lobster Shed on a sunny day in July. Service was excellent. My partner had the pork chop with gooseberries, which for inexplicable reasons had mint sauce all over it? (They offered a free desert which was a nice but unremarkable) The steak was tasty but over done. No vegetables served even as an extra? Our dining companions were "down from London" in their huge electric cars and Range Rovers!

The staff's rudeness and lack of hospitality set a negative tone for the entire evening. Despite our reservation for 8 pm, we were denied a pre-dinner drink due to "table timings," even though no one was scheduled to occupy our table afterwards. This unnecessary restriction left us feeling unwelcome and unappreciated right from the start. The steak, a dish you would expect a place like this to excel at, was a major disappointment. All the steaks were overcooked and made from poor quality meat, when we sent one back it came back uncooked - all this resulted in a lackluster dining experience that did not justify the prices on the menu. It was my partner's 40th birthday, a detail I had included in the reservation notes, yet there was no effort made to acknowledge this special occasion. The combination of rude staff, subpar food, lack of customer service, and high prices left us deeply disappointed. I would not recommend here to anyone seeking a pleasant dining experience.

Idyllic spot with views to the ocean. Friendly staff, food looked great but was a recce ahead of a visit to the Lobster Shed in a few weeks. Asked if it was ok for just coffee and it was fine. Good coffee, lovely setting. Main meal in the Lobster Shed, and light lunches, teas, snacks etc in the walled garden. This is the perfect spot for a lovely treat. Staff are very friendly and helpful, they clearly understand hospitality. Won over and will be back very soon for a meal.

Image over substance, lovely location - building, interior of house and amazing vegetable garden, however primarily you come for the food. Food, good in places but average in others and small portions. Really expected some fresh garden produce to be evident somewhere after all the strap line is all about food to plate. Cannot understand why when lots of seasonal veg are just ready for harvesting are not being used, very few herbs and veg used in the dishes. It was a Monday eve so maybe nothing is picked out of the veg garden on Mondays? We could see them all in the beautiful orderly veg garden. My daughter had a tasteless risotto served on a flat plate. The waitress staff were lovely.

We had dinner on the last night of our holiday, the food and the service were fabulous in the restaurant - we had pork and crab/lobster tagliatelle - but when we moved through to the lounge, it was a bit disappointing, my partner had to search for a waiter to bring sugar for the coffee, then we tried to pay the bill, which took forever - it was a bit disappointing considering how expensive it was.

How disappointing was the dining experience. Although the building and the decor is world class the food and kitchen service was well below standard. There was a rush with getting the appetisers out soon after the bread arrived and before we had chance to have a drink of wine. The most awful part of the meal was being able to see into the kitchen. One chef heavily tattooed and wear a scarf around his had spent a lot of time typing on his phone between plating food. As we know a mobile phone is one of the most unhygienic items we posses. Along with who appeared to be the head chef, they both picked up food with their fingers and ate it at the same time as preparing food and wiped their sweaty faces with bare hands . This is not what I would expect in a restaurant. Some dishes were oversalted also. Normally I would complain on the day but I didn’t want to spoil a special family meal.

Such a beautiful location, lovely friendly staff and very delicious food.

Amazing food and the staff are extremely tentative!

Stayed here twice now and service is amazing, kind and wonderful staff. Food is top notch. Recommended.

Little treat today whilst on holiday in Newquay - booked lunch at The Pig. Dined in the restaurant, in the outdoor area (shaded, so didn't singe in the hot sun). Absolutely loved the building....it's a history buff's dream. Even sitting with a quick drink in the garden is amazing - you can imagine being there 400 years ago! Seriously, definitely a place to visit. And the food was delicious. We had Pork Bites (in a silky, sticky sauce), Pork Crackling (you could hear another guest crunching theirs, from 15 feet away...CRUNCHY & fabulous). We also went for Organic Chicken Breast, and Middle White Pork Loin. Service was impeccable and staff were very attentive. The emphasis here is on pleasure, relaxation and enjoyment of the surroundings. Add it to your wish-list 😊

Amazing location and lovely room however it was spoilt when a dress of mine went missing following check out. Lost property procedure is not as robust as they say it is.

Sheer delight. If your idea of heaven is beautiful views, kind and welcoming service and exquisite food wrapped in a place where there is peace, this is it.

We can’t praise The Pig at Harlyn Bay enough! We have just spent an amazing night there with dinner and breakfast. Thank you so much to Megan and all the fantastic staff who helped to make our double birthday celebration such a special treat. The room was out of this world, the food utterly delicious and the whole experience one we’ll remember for a very long time indeed. We can’t wait to return one day!

Fantastic! Amazing quirky hotel and restaurant. The staff were lovely and the food incredible 😍 ❤️

WE were Not staying in the Hotel, so I can't comment on the rooms. We went for an evening meal. An absolutely delightful place. The food was delicious, lovingly presented, and very good service. We very much enjoyed the evening. We will certainly return! I can really recommend The Pig.

I went for a meal for my 21st Birthday. Service was amazing and food. Made my evening feel special!

Excellent hospitality and delicious farm-to-table food & beverage program in a serene, rustic setting by the ocean. We booked last minute on the day of for dinner and stay for a birthday celebration, which was available during off season in March. The team accommodated us with care and thoughtfully in all aspects. The estate is perfect for strolls and filled with cozy corners for a sit down or drink any time of the day. The breakfast and dinner were both delicious, well curated, with great ambiance of the dining room. We had a wonderful, magical time and will definitely return for longer stays in summer!

Such a lovely location, ethics, amazing food, incredible service, just a beauttiful experience. Ate from the Wholesome and Hearty lunch menu.

Enjoyed a no rush lunch on a dull and windy day. Service and food were excellent. The a la carte menu is interesting… but in the end, so was the set menu that we opted for. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours

A pleasant experience overall, very good food using local ingredients, excellent homemade bread, staff could be friendlier on arrival and throughout.

Love this place. Beautiful Location, amazing food and great service

I had an absolutely wonderful lunch today in The Pig. The service was incredible the food delicious & the setting fantastic. The dining room, furniture & all of the decor was stunning. I would definitely want to return again & recommend to family friends & colleagues.

We had a wonderful evening at the Pig. Whilst the restaurant was very busy (it was the Christmas holidays) the staff were friendly and attentive. It's a superb building, stylish decor, cosy corners, antique and period furniture give this grand house a homely and welcoming vibe. We love the ethos of the 25 mile menu, all the produce for the hotel is sourced locally and some grown on site at other times of the year. The menu has a map of where all the items are sourced so the menu is heavy on really fresh produce and seasonal with a good inclusion of vegetarian dishes. We enjoyed Sardines, cerviche of mackerel and fresh crab toast for starter and for mains hake, pork chop and butternut squash with italian beans all delicious. The wine menu is daunting and suits the wine buffs! We look forward to our next visit and can't wait to try other Pigs!

Visited The Pig in April with 3 friends for dinner. We couldn't believe the cost for two courses and two good bottles of wine came to £400. Admittedly food quality was good -as we would expect for £100 a head. However the wine was served very unprofessionly. We were served by a pleasant young lady who was sporting two sommelier badges. We were therefore surprised when the second bottle of wine was delivered already opened before bringing it to the table and then poured into our existing glasses with no offer to try the new bottle. What if it had been corked? We were told by the sommelier that she had sniffed it before bringing it out. At £59 a bottle, this was just not good enough. The pig is certainly far below the standard we would have expected at a £100 a head restaurant.

Firstly, I’d like to say the location, decor and ambience of the hotel was fantastic. We stayed in a snug with terrace for just one night and although the room was quite tight to manoeuvre around, the bed was comfortable, the monsoon shower was amazing and the tea and coffee making facilities were very good. We ate in the restaurant at 8.30pm and that’s when things became quite disappointing. Our food came out extremely quickly after ordering and was seriously lacking flavour and seasoning. My wife had mullet and I had the pigeon breasts. When we got back to our room the aircon was making a gurgling noise like it had a babbling brook running through it. It stopped after a few minutes and we went to bed, but it re-occurred a number of times during the night waking us up each time. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were friendly and attentive it was just a shame the very bland food and the problem with the aircon spoiled our stay.

Staff and food excellent. They couldn’t do enough for us both. My husband is coeliac and the chef was attentive kind and most helpful

The staff were kind and helpful, and even though tables were fully booked, they adapted and managed to make our visit very enjoyable - would definitely recommend.

Delicious food, lovely waiting staff and beautiful location. It is a big country pile home delivering excellent food and excellent puddings. We did think the poached pear should have been warm but that aside food was on point. Really recommend

Nothing special - nice atmosphere and setting, pleasant staff but food was a bit basic, well cooked but not interesting or inspiring. Overpriced for level of food, will not be rushing back.

Wonderful lunch! Food was delicious, cocktails lovely and service was fantastic, our waitress Cleo looked after us so well. It was our first visit and already looking forward to returning, 5/5!

Absolutely unreal. Definitely worth a write up & definitely worth coming again. Beautiful building & grounds - loved seeing the pigs ! Laid back approach to service but still efficient & attentive. Hearty real good food & an outrageous wine list. Couldn’t recommend enough !

Set in a lovely old property, when we finally found the hotel from the car park (a few signs would have been useful). We were welcomed and had pre dinner drinks in one of the lounges. The dining room was busy. On booking I requested the Autumn lunch menu but we were never given the menu for this option, even though my booking said we had. We were offered the full menu, which was much mor expensive. There was a good variety of dishes to suit all requirements. I had the roast onion squash which was lovely, although it was a large amount of squash and not a lot else. The pork chop was beautifully cooked and the jus and veg lovely, but I had to order a side of fires or that was all that would have been on the plate. Dessert was a chocolate mousse with boozy berries and was lovely. The others had a variety of dishes all very nice but not exceptional for the price. The wines were very pricey too. Overall we enjoyed the meal, but we weren't blown away. The staff were lovely and we weren't rushed at all.

Mundane, flavourless cocktails. Food okay. Service awful. Would not return or recommend to anyone wanting a "special evening"

Once you have found the Lobster Shed, as the signage down to it is pretty poor, it’s certainly different. It resembles ‘glamping’ fine dining! Not sure if it was just our menu, the primal paper or in trying to stay carbon neutral they are saving on printing ink, but you could hardly read it, so assistance was required. However it is quite innovative and ok as long as you like crab or lobster, there are other options but not many. We both chose the Rarebit which was very good. For dessert we shared a Knickerbocker Glory which again was splendid. It was nice to see wine being offered by 0.5 litre carafe and we thoroughly enjoyed the Tinta Roriz/Rufete red. The toilets have been designed to look like your grandparents privy at the end of the garden albeit with modern sanitary ware. The Lobster Shack is not open all 12 months of the year.

Went as family of 10 to celebrate my birthday. Food great we were in the Lobster Shed can recommend

Wonderfully cosy hotel - we came for dinner but wished we were staying the night! The food and service was faultless - fresh & locally sourced and all delicious. If I had one criticism it would be to suggest that families were sat in one area, as couples don't necessarily want to be surrounded by kids (especially when they have left theirs at hime for the night!) Thoroughly enjoyable meal & now looking forward to trying the one closer to home.

We are Pig fans and have been to most of the hotels/restaurants. We had wanted to visit the Harlyn Bay one for a while and were glad to be able to have dinner here. It is nice to be able to wander around the garden...

The food and service are excellent. What I love is their 25 mile menu, where they source their food local up to 25 miles supporting local trade. The staff are amazing and make sure everyone feels looked after. It’s also in a very pretty setting.

Really disappointed with our experience at the Pig, where we went to round off our group trip to Cornwall. Wine and cocktails were great but the food was very disappointing. Fish starter was dry, mozzarella tasteless and the £33 lobsters were minuscule and also very...

I went for lunch with my aunt. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I had pigeon breast with kale. The first plate was barely even lukewarm so I asked for it to be heated up. It came back after a few minutes piping hot...

This was our first visit to a Pig and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The service was excellent from start to finish and the food was exceptional - the perfect antidote to all of the overpriced Michelin fluff around these days. Thoughtful, interesting,...

This s going to sound strange, the food was excellent, the decoration full of character and the service attentive but we won’t be back, why on earth??? Well, it’s because the service is far (and I mean far) too attentive. The organisation is such that...

Superb! I went with my 3 children & we were welcomed & treated wonderfully… one has allergies & the staff & kitchen were highly attentive & customised the menu got her! Food was locally sourced & delicious with special mention to the sorbets! Wonderful setting...

A fabulous location and the food and service was first class, I have one gripe though, there were no steaks on the menu (which I have no problem with at all) as I very rarely have steak when eating out, so when the waitress suggested...

Lovely meal as always. We happened to be in the area and we’re really pleased to be offered a table even though we hadn’t booked and it was a busy evening service . We’ve been to a few pigs and the food is always consistent...

We've just left this gorgeous place after a long and leisurely lunch and we absolutely loved every second. From the second we got there we were looked after by a lovely blonde girl (slightly northern accent) who made us feel very welcome and the lovely...

Delicious food in a super setting in the restaurant in the hotel. We went for lunch and the staff were so welcoming, attentive and helpful. Food choice so impressive and all sourced locally. Will definitely be back…next time probably for dinner. Thank you.

This is a lovely quirky setting and worth a visit just for that. The was tasty but really expensive. We paid £75 per head - sharing a pudding between 4 and with only 2 of the 4 of us drinking alcohol. Really over-priced. In addition...

My second visit in 3 days. This time to the Lobster Shed, the ‘outside’ restaurant in the grounds of the The Pig Hotel. I can’t quite believe it was the same place, chalk and cheese. I’m not going to drone on about the frazzled squid,...

Great ambience and setting. A varied menu.....it said 25 mile menu but the tomatoes were from the Isle of Wight. The food was good and the portions were far bigger than we anticipated. Only disappointment was the dessert- too dry. Service and staff were excellent.

We have been regular visitors to The Pig at Harlyn since it opened and my only complaint is that we can’t go more often as we have to go back home to work. The service is sublime with an attention to detail that unrivalled anywhere...

Wonderful lunch in a beautifully-restored former manor house. The food is locally sourced including produce from the hotel's own walled gardens. The staff were very well informed and helpful ,and able to advise on a good wine pairing too. After lunch we walked around the...

It was a disappointing visit to the Pig. The menu in the outside area, the Lobster Shed was limited and the lobster, priced at £65 plus 12.5% service was very small with no claws! It is overpriced for what it is.

This is called the pig because this place is ran by greedy pigs. Disgustingly over priced. Mediocre food. Terrible vegetarian options. Bad selection of beers. So disappointed would not go back at all. Laughable, in fact. Staff were not attentive and cant even Remember them...

A great little spot out by the coast with fantastic food! I had the pork loin which was great although the rhubarbs dressing was a little tart. My friends had gurnard and sole and allwas enjoyed. Down side was the service, we waited in the...

The building and ambience are wonderful as are the attentive staff, however, the food was a let down. Underwhelming in flavour, and imagination. Local breads were delicious as was the wine - but all drinks were expensive. Desert was a particular let down with dry...

This was my first visit to A pig restaurant and I was so looking forward to the experience, my three other diners having experienced other Pigs. The venue looked splendid and after having to walk quite a way from the car park arrived a few...

The pig is a charming hotel and restaurant in a beautiful location near Padstow. The reception room was stunning as well as the restaurant itself. Myself and my partner felt extremely relaxed whilst dining and the service we received was excellent- staff were extremely attentive....

A lovely welcome and a seat in front of the fire with a glass of champagne accompanied by some Piggy Bits and Fishy Bits (you must try these yummy nibbles!). At no point was there any rush to go into lunch but upon doing so,...

An exceptional dining experience at a relatively affordable price. My daughter and her betrothed had arranged for an evening meal just before the end of the year. We all made our selections from the “25 mile” menu - meaning that it was all locally sourced....

Visited the Pig at Harlan Bay on a Sunday lunchtime. From the moment we entered we were made to feel so welcome. From drinks and a pre meal starter in the morning room by the fire to our main meal in the dining room we...

I was lucky enough to be taken for lunch in the restaurant by my cousin and her husband. The food here is really really lovely with a big focus on being local or from their kitchen garden. It's actually quite simple food but using excellent...

This was a special event, a tour of the kitchen garden and lunch. What an amazing place. Kitchen garden par excellence with an amazing range of vegetables, herbs and fruit which were then cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The staff were so attentive and...

The food here is fabulous, it is well presented, hot and tasty with local ingredients. The surroundings are magnificent with good views. The staff are very friendly and helpful, would recommend.

We live near The Pig in Brockenhurst and Limewood and have visited both. Also the Dorset and Sussex Pig and enjoyed all. We thought we would enjoy the Pig in Cornwall for our anniversary. The hotel is like the others and has bouji country chic...

Setting and decor is amazing, staff very friendly and helpful. Food was a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the starters were incredible, while others were bland and nondescript. The mains were again a bit of a mixed bag. Fish dish was ok but...

They have now extended the covered area and it is very cosy. Blankets provided if necessary! Well cooked food and good service. We'll be back.

Can’t praise the friendly, accommodating and professional staff highly enough. Beautiful location. First rate accommodation you’d expect from “a Pig” The food in the restaurant was absolutely fabulous. Fresh local ingredients off the charts good. We were booked for two nights but sadly had to...

We had a delicious dinner for my daughter’s birthday. The staff were charming and friendly as they always are. The food was delicious- my beetroot salad a highlight. This is such a great addition to the area.

Came here for our anniversary lunch and was not disappointed. We shared a monkfish starter which was exquisite. I had never had monkfish before and it was very tasty. Then I had the duck and my partner had the roast pork. Everything was presented really...

Our second time here and we were very disappointed this time around. Firstly we all had different menus given to us so, had to wait for the correct ones to be sorted out. Very average service, wrong food sent to the table twice. The food...

We were quite amused by some of the bizarre negative reviews describing this place and were looking forward to checking it out for ourselves. We weren’t disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few things that we experienced that may annoy some guests; it...

My husband, and I came here with our daughter and her husband for his 30th birthday. The hotel is absolutely amazing, the food fantastic and the staff were so attentive and personally, that’s what made it for us. Thank you all for a truly memorable...

Overpriced! If you want to pay exorbitant prices for ‘fine dining’ then this is it. Seriously would you put Hake on Black Pudding? This is just pictures on plates. After eating we then went to a local hostelry to assuage our hunger. Although the setting...

We started our evening with lovely cocktails in one of the cosy lounges. The bread we had whilst waiting for our food was very flavoursome. 3 course meal was delicious and portions plentiful. Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Beautiful surroundings. Definitely reccomended. Perfect date night thank...

Booked two weeks ago online to enjoy the lobster shack for our 30th wedding anniversary as we were camping nearby with two little dogs called just before to check only to find out we couldn’t take the dogs as it was the courtyard and very...

Booked for dinner on my birthday. Restaurant packed in like sardines. Mislead to over order on starters. Worried then about having ordered the 10oz steak but was more like 7oz even though I like it rare. Meal marred by very loud holiday toffs who insisted...

In 2021 when the world had tentatively started to open up, we had a wonderful lunch at The Pig. Excellent service, exceptional wine and excellent food. 14 months later it's all a bit different. Staff still try hard, but it's just not as good. Sat...

Been looking forward to visiting here for a while, but left a bit underwhelmed. It is definitely a lovely setting , but the food was a bit disappointing. The bread and butters were delicious, the starters were also very nice, but mains and deserts were...

First time visitors to the Pig at Harlyn, excited as its walkable from our house in Trevose. First impressions were awesome, great property, very 'Poldark' in look and feel, a warm friendly welcome. Our table was delayed but happy sitting in the reception with drinks...

Nice starter although small for price, main meal roast pork tenderloin nicely cooked. ( gravy and veg very over seasoned, ) as it was pre poured over the meal had to leave most of due to being too salty.

Fabulous welcoming, knowledgeable staff who couldn’t have made our evening any better. The decor and ambiance are enviable and perfect for the location.

Enjoyed an absolutely fabulous dinner at The Pig! Food was outstanding and service fantastic! Also enjoyed a lovely cocktail on the beautiful patio before dinner! Definitely an evening to remember!

My husband and I came here for dinner a few days ago and WOW! We 100% would love to stay here and come back. The service was amazing, all the staff were really helpful especially as I am coeliac (gluten free). The drinks team helped...

Lovely setting as you would expect at the Pig but the staff was pretentious despite the restaurant being very quiet and the food was massively overpriced for what was a very average meal. Book the Journeyman and Old Mill Bistro instead!

Oh dear! We have visited and stayed at many of The Pigs , the locations are always great ,the buildings are lovely and the food is mostly good. HOWEVER , how much for granted do those at Harlyn Bay take their clients , a shockingly...

Having arrived at The Pig and sat down for drinks, it emerged I’d muddled my dates and reservations arriving a day early and missing a reservation at another local restaurant. The staff were fantastic finding us a table , contacting the restaurant I should have...

We live locally and have been once before and didn’t particularly like the wood panelled dining room and the food was a bit disappointing On this occasion we sat in a small flag stoned space which was lovely The food was really good we had...

It was just ok. I had steak that wasn’t as good as I would have liked at £33 not 100% it was sirloin. Was more like a rump. The starters were nice. My wife enjoyed her main hake. The desserts were fine. Wine really £47...

terrific concept All food more or less comes from 25 miel radius. They are growing their own fruit and vegetables, raising their own eggs and lamb and pigs, making their own bread, picking their own stuff, smoking their own salmon, making their own pastry. Huge...

The location was lovely but we were not impressed with a few things. It took a long time to take our drink order before lunch and a long time to bring it out, it was just one drink. The food was pleasant but boring. Not...

Well, an iconic venue when we visited the lobster shed last week The lobster was fine, if a bit over cooked. The crab and sourdough bread fine very fresh, not actually much cooking needed. Too much salt in everything The baked mussels were awful, truly...

There are a few Pig restaurants around. They are all a bit different and those that I've visited have excellent food. It isn't cheap, but you'll find a really good experience here. 3 courses with a nice local wine was about £250 for two people....

Had whole lobster - it was amazing!! Helpful waitress also let us taste some wines before committing, when she saw us dithering!

We visited The Pig at Haryln just over a week ago for Lunch. This was my third visit here for the third year in a row as we booked to visit every year we visit Cornwall, after loving the first experience so much. This most...

Firstly, the food was fantastic quality, just very very small portions (and for the record I'm aware it's 'fine dining' but even so this was a tiddlybit ridiculous!) Service on the other hand was greatly lacking. We waited a long while for drinks in the...

Small portions extra cost for veg etc cocktail served in a very tiny glass way overpriced service was good but then there is a 12.5 service charge. Food was ok but not amazing for the money. Super setting.

Fantastic place to eat good food very nicely prepared and the young staff do an amazing job. All the fish is local ,as well as all the other food served is from a local source or grown at the hotel. Check out the Kitchen Garden...

Absolutely lovely meal (almost worthy of a 5* review). Loved the building and the way it was furnished. Not a fan of unisex toilets so to me that let it down. We sat in bar for drinks before being seated at our table. All the...
