The Royal Oak in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Stopped here on the way into deepest Cornwall. I'm so glad we did, as the service was superb. Warmly welcomed and sat at a table with the dog. Drinks arrived, and food was ordered. My wife had liver and bacon whilst I had a steak, smoked bacon with baby onions pie and chips. Both our meals arrived quickly. The chips were some of the best I have ever had, and the pie again was one of the best and most filling My wife was very happy with her meal too. All in all it was very satisfactory and a place we will certainly stop at again.

It's a very nice pub. Large car park with plenty of space inside and out. Dog friendly.

A welcoming village pub with good beer, wine and food. Quite a wide menu with local and seasonal produce. Good portions and reasonable prices. Would go back!

Came in for a roast on Sunday, it was pretty tasty but they didn't mention the beans would be covered in dairy. Other than that it was pretty good :)

Steak is good but is nothing special without peppercorn sauce. Banoffee Pie, on the other hand, is excellent. Yes, made to perfection.

Great food at a proper price .very friendly. Well organised with this covid business . Felt safe.

Slightly odd, bit of a cafe vibe going on but very pleasant

Best Sunday Roast ive had in a pub for years. Really friendly, welcomed us and our girls(dogs). I never review anything but felt this needed a mention. Tony, Deb, Lucy and Meg

Fabulous ! Lovely old traditional pub serving first class food and a very good selection of well kept real ales. Very friendly efficient staff and very pleasant local people. We ate twice in a week after finding it while on holiday.

Nice staff and atmosphere. Food was nice but expensive and portions were on the small side.

I would love to say I didn't like the food, or the atmosphere, but sadly I didn't get to. I walked in after someone acknowledged me I asked if they were dog friendly. The woman looked pissed off I had asked and said 'Well if they are well behaved', I replied my dog is and she said she could sit is in the middle table. She then asked the size and I said 'husky'. This prompted an actual sigh and 'Well if they sit under the table and out of the walkway that should be ok'. So I left. If your pub is SO busy (it wasn't) then you can say 'We can't accomodate dogs' and I would have been fine. Instead she seemed to want to find a reason not to have me in with a dog. My dog is quiet,trained and lies down and sleeps when I go to a pub, but for this woman it was clearly an issue. I ended up going elsewhere, with the staff smiling at my dog, finding us a suitable table and not making us a problem. I wonder if she was as annoyed at the kids running around the tables screaming...

The above grades says it all, going back there again on Friay

We visit for the monthly quiz (first Tuesday - highly recommended but must book) and the "quizzers curry" and occasionally drop in when on a walk. Lovely traditional pub with good food, a warm welcome and excellent wine list.

We had an amazing Sunday roast for a family birthday - one of the best we have had. Lovely friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.

A lovely pub with a warm and happy atmosphere. Not to mention the great food and service!! Highly recommend the Limoncello Tiramisu

Simple, it has great food, great service and at a reasonable price. 5 stars!!!!!

Just called in for a beer, good selection too. Friendly staff. Food looked very good.

Great for a lovely local pub drink and dinner. A good range of wine and beers, interesting menu selection with specials and a few long standing favourites. Relaxed ambiance and some very attentive service for both our food and drinks orders. Always a good evening out!

Food was fantastic and the service was great

We visited while on holiday, loved the whole village country pub. Good value

Loved it .good food lovely staff. Highly recommend but best to book

Absolutely the best meal I have had in a pub for a very long time. Even the wife enjoyed it! Wholeheartedly recommend!

Amazing homemade food with a classic old school cornish pub vibe.

A lovely pub! Food was fab! Staff were very efficient and friendly. Doggie friendly too! We didn't book and got the last table only 15 minutes before food service began so would advise booking. The Fig and Damson Gin Trifle was delicious!

Fantastic. Amazing food , drink and staff. Suitable for all. A lovely family meal.

Really good food high class attentive and friendly service great atmosphere easy to chat and be heard but not overheard

Great refreshment stop during a club bike ride 👍

We were looking for a place to have dinner and we were lucky enough to come across The Royal Oak, and although the restaurant was full, they seated us at a table super quickly. Delicious food, and unbeatable service. Special mention to the fish and chips and the desserts, especially the sticky toffee pudding, we thought it was incredible. Many thanks for everything.

We loved it - food excellent- atmosphere lovely - most staff wonderful and friendly but under pressure one particular staff member was a little off the mark sadly. But guess she had a bad day like most of us from time to time 😀

Cosy lovely little pub that we came across after visiting local panto

A great find. Top class food - not your usual pub 'same old' menu. With it's lovely atmosphere and great service, we will certainly recommend this place to our cottage guests and campers. 5 stars. 👏😀

I went to this pub on a Wednesday thinking it would be quite not so, it was packed which is always a good sign so pre-book. The food was great and there was plenty to choose from the menu and specials board. Definitely worth a visit.

Had an amazing meal for our Anniversary. Lovely staff. Highly recommend

Lovely people here, stayed nearby for a few nights at NYE. Very cosy and friendly pub.

Great pub off the beaten track serving good selection of beers and ciders and had a good menu of food on offer.

Fantastic pub, great food and awesome beer. Regularly go in when Padstow May Day ale is on tap.

Had Sunday roast here yesterday, food was very good and tasty. Went with 2 friends and had a pudding each and it came to just over £21 per head which I thought was good value, staff very friendly and welcoming. I would like to go again but live miles away but hope to when in Truro again.

This is an awesome pub, for locals and visitors alike. Proper pub with proper beer.

All 3 of us very much enjoyed our meal comprising of main course and pudding. I had the rice pudding which was delicious.

nice food , friendly staff.....very enjoyable

Gorgeous pub with friendly staff. Highly recommended a visit

Lovely pub, great food freshly cooked with quality produce and homemade deserts highly recommend thank you

3 course meal and drinks £37, a lot more than before brexit but about average now. Good value as good size portions and plenty of veg. Chairs are sadly uncomfortable.

A wonderful place, great food and some smaller meals which were just the right size for myself and my husband. Wide choice of menu and a delicious mixed fruit crumble which I shared, well not much of it! Our first visit but certainly not the last. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We visited this establishment to have an evening meal. There was a great choice, and this included a vegetarian option for my wife, which isn't usually the case. The children were catered for also, and even my to fuss pot children were happy with their dishes. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and polite, and they answered our many questions without hesitation and even offered their opinions regarding our questions. We actually left wishing we live nearer to this place as we would return without hesitation.

Small friendly village pub with outdoor tables. A range of local ales, and a varied menu with vegi and vegan options. A selection of seafood dishes looked enticing, but we enjoyed the steak pie and the chicken stroganoff, served with a variety of local vegetables. Treacle tart and baked cheesecake to finish. Indoor tables fill up early , so book in advance, or sit outside on warm evening.

We went twice while staying in the area. The food is fantastic and nicely presented. We can really recommend the steak and ale pie, crab salad and the fish and chips. Also very friendly staff.

Just what pub food ought to be - plenty of choice and not expensive - service with warmth and a smile - what more might one ask for!

Trevlig landspub med go atmosfär och bra personal, god öl är aldrig fel .

Fabulous food a great hidden gem x

Excellent, from the choice of local beers, to the quality of the food, to the friendly nature of all the staff. Visit here and you will not be disappointed.

Always a good pub to visit. Staff are exceptional.

Excellent Sunday carvery. Great value for money. So tasty.

Very nice place, good food, friendly staff. Very good selection of beers. What more can you want.

We are on holiday staying in the village of Perranwell Station for a week. We frequently visit local establishments when on holiday and have experienced good, honest, tasty food. Wow, this establishment exceeded our expectations, fantastic food, so tasty and spoilt for choice from the menu and the specials board with an excellent customer focussed service, even better when it’s a short walk home. We shall be visiting again. Well done Royal Oak keep up the good work.

Absolutely delicious crab bake and steak/kidney pie.

Friendly owners and regulars, made to feel very welcome.

Read this was one of the top puns in the UK, and had to try it. Not disappointed the food was amazing and great beer. We could take the dog in and the place had lots of locals (good sign)

Great little pub, delicious fish and chips! The service was lovely and the prices are just right! Great variety of gin selection

Nice pub good prices nice pint 👍

Fantastic food at a great little pub. First visit down there despite living in Cornwall all my life. Recommended to go back and try Sunday roast which we will definitely be doing. I had the cottage pie and my partner smoked haddock ,poached egg and dauphinoise potatoes both delicious.

I enjoyed every mouthful of every corse. It was a reunion of 30 yrs ago which made it even more special. Thank you

Good roast beef...nice vegs but not enough ..not good gravy ...baileys pudding had no baileys taste at al lwas an OK lunch

Great staff nice ambience and lovely food well priced.

Brilliant as usual.If you haven't yet experienced the food at The Royal Oak you need to go!

Great evening had by all, amazing food with excellent service from friendly staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

Called in for lunch yesterday, the staff were very welcoming and the food was very good.

It's a small friendly pub with great staff. It's advised that you book as the dining area is quite compact. The food is superbly cooked and well presented. There is also a decent range of drinks. Had a lovely sirloin, and the garlic bread comes highly recommended 👌

Quant and proper old pub, visited at lunch time and it was very busy, suggest you book if you're eating.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Missed the parsnip on the roast and a shame not mashed potatoes 😦 but all in all, nice meal.

Beautiful meal and very friendly atmosphere

Cosy pub. Stopped for a drink but we didn’t eat. Would have been nice to try out. Pubs as they should be.

The real ale is just so great & the food amazing, just a cracking pub

Good food, excellent unfussy service but very pleasant,attentive and efficient despite being very busy . So good to find a'proper pub' that also does very good fresh food

Wow this pub was full of happy people. Loved it

Fantastic menu and really friendly staff

Superb mushroom stroganoff and fish and chips, Sally the chef is fantastic, lovely time and a friendly team!

Absolutely outstanding food and the loveliest staff, a wonderful cosy country pub. Can’t wait to return.

We had a splendid meal in a village pub with plenty of pleasant atmosphere and very pleasant and affable staff. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a table for Friday evening

Small country pub. Easy parking. Penzance Brewery ales on handpump. Good food menu with choice of veg included. Extremely helpful and pleasant service. Good value for good quality. Recommended.

Always excellent 🍺 and food.The recent beer festival and music was brilliant.An excellent local with great owners and staff

This is a lovely pub in the centre of a lovely village. It is clearly very popular even at lunchtimes mid-week so booking is recommended. There is a car park adjacent to the pub but if full then there is roadside parking. The pub has lots of character and the staff are very welcoming. The menu on their website was up-to-date and there is also a 'specials' board with many other tempting options. I had the scallops with chorizo in a creamy sauce as a starter and it was amazing. My wife and I went for the medley of fillets of simply grilled fish for our mains. They were served with seasonal vegetables and a choice of potatoes. I had the Dauphinoise potatoes which which as also delicious. This pub is a little off the beaten track but the quality of food and service ensures that this pub will always be busy and I'm sure that it is also well serviced by the local village. Fantastic!! We shall be returning.

Grumpy staff. Village pub, local to me, with a nice garden. I pop in every few months hoping that things have improved, but always find the staff to be grumpy and unwelcoming, and I'm therefore reminded why I don't come here more often!

Visited a few the whilst on holiday. Great vegan food options, fantastic customer service - really helpful. An ever changing range of beer in lovely surroundings. 5*

Absolutely brilliant Sunday lunch in a super friendly pub. We loved it.

An excellent evening meal in a "great village pub come restaurant" the Cornish fish medley was great, and the deserts very good as well

Amazing place to eat ... Great food and friendly staff . Would highly recommend

I visited with a friend as the Ritzy Belles were singing here for Royal Oaks' Cider Festival.. Small olde worlde type pub with Beams. Friendly staff, nice meals, and pet friendly. But crisps were very pricey, £1.20 for a small bag of Walker's Crisps, which I refused to pay, only 4 Stars There is music there all weekend this weekend. Motown Pirates singing on Sunday.

Found this from the reviews on Google whilst driving back from Penzance to St Austell. Really glad we did! Food was lovely but the staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. We arrived at 5pm and food doesn’t start till 6pm so we got a drink and the bar staff sorted us a table (most tables had been reserved) and we settled down for a game of cards before ordering. It’s a tiny place but very warm and welcoming. Hubby ordered fish and chips and I had the stake and ale pie (based on others reviews) and both were really tasty and very filling! Excellent prices .. two Meals and two drinks £36. We only had card but asked how to include a tip as service was so good and we were advised to round it up to whatever we felt which we did! Not the best photos as I was starving and forgot to take them before we started! 100% recommend if your in Cornwall.

A proper pub, reasonable prices, Good beer, nice people

Really good hospitality. Excellent Venu. Very friendly.Good Ales.

Lovely little pub with lovely staff Good home cooked food and decent size portions, we were a party of 7 and all had something different and all enjoyed our meals Definitely recommend a visit You won't be disappointed

Wide selection of food which was well cooked and presented.

Great beer, great food, great service 👍👍👍

Found this place by accident, what a gem!

busy but friendly, ordered 2 steak and kidney pies but they hid the steak, was just 2 pies full of kidney, in fact one had just 3 pieces of beef, the other 4 , so for a steak and kidney pie incredibly misleading and did detract from the delicious food. had there been some beef it would have been outstanding

Nice local pub good honest food and local beers and best of all for us they are a dog lovers /freindly pub . Made us sausages for our dog.

Toller Pub, sehr gutes Essen, nur zu empfehlen🙂.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

We Came in on Sunday night as a group of 4 adults and 2 children and sat in the bar area as requested. Start to finish it was brilliant- food, drink and service top notch and lovely locals atmosphere. Not my first visit and definitely not my last! Great job guys
