The Shaft Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Booked for a family meal of 12 on Sat 2nd and not only did they open early for us they provided an outstanding service and food was exceptional. Been a few times before and always been amazing. Thanks to jess and the team for a 5 star service . Would highly recommend. Also the park for the kids just adds amazing experience and not to mention the dog walking field out back just tops it off . Credit to everyone involved. You'll be definitely be seeing us again x

Good food good beer 🍺 good service what is not to like

Great food, lovely staff, and a couple of good gluten-free options

Really nice place to eat! Went for an evening meal out with family! Very friendly staff and food was really good!

Checked out reviews and photos for the Best Sunday Roast in Redruth, and liked the look of The Shaft Inn. I was a bit wary with it being in a caravan park, but don't let that put you off. The service we received was very welcoming and friendly. And the roast, well it was just out of this world. Large portions, of outstanding quality, and with plenty of veg. There was no room for pudding! Definitely worth the money, and a return visit. We were seated on the terrace, which was very spacious and quiet. We ate there at the beginning of October, but I expect it is very busy during the summer season. Exceptional Sunday Roast!!

Absolutely delicious Sunday dinner, friendly fast service, loads to choices to sit, inside and out. Highly recommend

I just had the best roast dinner in my life. With actual flavour. These people use spices! Plus it’s served until 8pm. Not everyone fancies a roast for lunch. Compliments to the kitchen and bar staff. We will comeback soon!

Had a lovely roast lunch today Sunday 6th Oct 24. First time here and it's a very welcoming place, clean, friendly and the food is delicious. Will definitely be back. ❤️

Been a few times now. Staff always very polite and attentive. Food absolutely delicious!

Top notch roast dinner, piping hot with posh carrots, loads of veg, cauliflower cheese, tons of gravy, yorkshire... Delish. Great service, bit of a hidden gem as it's off the beaten track a tiny bit but well worth seeking out.

Incredible roast dinner - the belly pork was so tasty and a great selection of veg. Will be back for more! Everything was well presented and delicious!

Fabulous roast dinner this evening! So much to eat and everything delicious...we had extra gravy without asking , nothing was a problem . We all enjoyed our puddings too. Service was excellent too. Thank you !

Friendly service nice selection of food and drink. Pool table in one end, bit to sit outside. Perfect for if you are at the site and don't fancy cooking.

Delicious Sunday roast! Everything cooked & seasoned beautifully, well thought out trimmings to compliment your chosen meat. Cauli cheese, root veg mash & pork scratchings garnish were proper highlights 🙌

Fantastic food! Friendly staff. Perfect!

An awesome meal at the shaft well done to Bret the chef and the bar staff were fantastic and friendly

Taste food, decent size. Nice service. Recommend this place

Oh dear. Chef was being sacked on the day we arrived. Given cardboard with tomatoes on. However in their defence they didn't charge us for anything. I hope they get things sorted

Walked in, lots of free tables, we asked if we can order some food to be told that they are fully booked. Fine, we asked to order takeaway but again to be told they are fully booked for takeaway?? How does that work? Apparently they don't have enough food for us to order takeaway? Seems very backwards making people book tables to then have nothing to serve walk-ins, even with empty tables. Disappointed to say the least.

Very lovely people works in this place, the food quality was amazing. We had ribs and beef burger👌👌 Sheff knows what he's doing 💯

Just had a Sunday roast…it was the tastiest roast that I’ve had for a very long time. You could taste each individual item on the plate. I had 1 meat, choice of chicken, beef or lamb and it was a perfect! The staff were so lovely friendly and welcoming. The view from the Terrace across the valley is stunning on a beautiful sunny day.

Just had a superb roast again at the Shaft Inn - thank you to Jess and team for the attentive service and fabulous food. Always a great time had when we visit with an amazing atmosphere - once again thanks and see you soon xxxx

Lovely meal with friends. Table for 10 accommodated in peak holiday season. Meals were beautiful, some of the best mussels I've had.

I ordered the chicken it was horrid flimsy pieces of gross chicken should of complained instead of paying such a waste of money could of bought better from Tesco The chicken was horrid won’t be going their again

Had a great Sunday roast great family atmosphere.....we will return.

I come from Birmingham and was visiting my two daughters who live in the area. We got together for Sunday lunch, a party of ten of us. We had specified in advance what meats we wanted from a choice of three. What we got was beautifully cooked dishes, delightfully presented and bursting with flavour. I think that was probably the best Sunday roast I have ever had! Oh and the staff were brilliant too, friendly and accomodating. Thank you Shaft Inn!

Pub was really nice and the staff were helpful, we had the loaded fries, the beef strips were odd but still tasted good. Didn't realise this place was on a camp site only went because if adverts on Facebook.

Good value for money. Would recommend 👌

Great selection of steaks which we really enjoyed last night. Interesting place to find but worth while. Easy to get to from the A30 in mid Cornwall. The food was lovely & staff very helpful. Quit family & dog friendly! Separate dining areas giving different experiences. Also a pool room away from the dining room. Has its own car park. Highly recommend!

Great food, great staff and a lovely location for a family or just the two of you meal.

Rarely review but felt had to in instance. In the main poor quality food, poorly presented with no atmosphere, like sitting in a nearly empty cabin, albeit newly built with new furniture. A group of 30 were booked in a short while after us in a different part of the restaurant so perhaps our food was rushed? Loaded sweet potatoes were covered with a tasteless cheap cheddar that looked like melted plastic and shredded crispy beef was awful and resembled and tasted like hard pellets with a stock cube like flavour. The seafood spaghetti dish was laden in a heavy creamy barely flavoured sauce with little seafood and some unopened muscles. The starter salt & pepper squid was not rated highly by those that had it either. An average burger, not gourmet as advertised. An uninspired looking hake and pea risotto that should have been garnished with tomatoes according to the photos looked at online later, but they were omitted. The 2 childrens mains appeared acceptable to them. All in all a sad experience thankfully not to be repeated by us. Am sure there must be other food on the menu that is better considering the 4.7 rating on trip adviser so dont let our poor experience put you off.

Always visit the Shaft Inn when staying at Globe Vale. The staff are so friendly and always happy to help, the food is amazing and it is fab I can take my 4 legged friend with me! They have often got live music up there and do bingo and a quiz each week! I definitely recommend you stopping in and by the way the roast dinners are amazing!

Started badly and carried on. Prawn starter - 4 very small Prawns and more salad than one could eat. Asked for Chicken burger -came out with cheese on. Fish in batter!! More soggy than batter. Curry -had 3 very small pieces of chicken in it and the dish looked really badly plated. Asked for a coffee - came out stone cold and with cold milk when hot milk was asked for.

We love this place! You walk into an extremely warm welcome from Ty and his amazing staff! Food is excellent as well as the entertainment (especially the bingo). Relaxed fun setting. Well done :)

Very nice service and super delicious food.

What can I say, absolutely beautiful. From the service right through to the food. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, that would do anything to make your visit pleasant. And a nice well maintained park to keep the children entertained. Food was spectacular, it was definitely up there! Chef should be proud. 5 ⭐also the quiz night on a Friday gets people up and going. Thank you very much.

We stayed on site at Globe Vale and during our two week holiday visited The Shaft Inn four times to eat, and a couple of other times for a drink and some games of pool. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and makes you instantly feel welcome and at home. The food is well presented, hot and extremely tasty. We had a variety of meals and all were tasty and value for money. Tye and his team work exceptionally hard to ensure that everyone feels welcome and relaxed. The bingo night and Tanks quiz were also great fun. Highly recommend.

Well, we were impressed from the start. Friendly staff, especially the Boss. The food was so tasty, went for something a bit different, loaded fries with BBQ pulled pork and quesadillas chicken fajita, a big WOW from us, by the presentation to the taste. The Boss went out of his way for us. Will be taking some friends with us next time for an evening meal. You will not be disappointed 😁👍

First time at The Shaft Inn tonight for my brother in laws birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, food and atmosphere amazing. Staff were amazing will definitely be returning. Thank you

What a, sadly, hidden gem. Deserved to be much busier. Great dinner for the 6 of us. Portion sizes were more than adequate, with even the big eaters of the group pushing in the last few morsels. Well worth going to find.

Great place, friendly staff, the roast was exceptional and presented really nice, service was quick, I would definitely go again

Had a great Sunday roast, well worth the money. Very friendly staff and great service. Very tidy. Large dining area. A highly recommended.

First time here . Must say what a fabulous Sunday lunch . Fresh veggies all cooked beautifully , had two meats which were again cooked so well and a huge Yorkshire pudding our lunch did not disappoint.Our daughter had the burger and fries again presented very well and tasted delicious .Our puddings were also really tasty . This is a gem of place and really is worth a try for families , couples for everyone ! Staff are very friendly and very helpful.Don’t judge a book by its cover we will definitely be back and will recommend .Thanks guys for a lovely couple of hours !

Absolutely well worth a visit, 1st time visit with our dog, very helpful and friendly staff made most welcome & food was Great & even got the chance to run the dog in there dog exercising area The atmosphere was very Quiet due to the time of year which suits me

Very clean and great food , service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Food on the whole good. Disappointed with "triple cooked' chips however. Usually chips cooked this way are crispy on the outside , fluffy inside and delicious. These were just chips and a bit dry!

Food was amazing staff was very friendly and nice, highly recommended

First visit bit disappointed in beef quite a lot of grizzle Roast potatoes hard

First time visiting and won’t be the last. The staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing. Can’t wait to come back.

Hidden gem! Food mouth watering! Service outstanding! Atmosphere very relaxing. 💯 worth a visit. Gorgeous country view from decking.

Great place to eat or grab a drink especially in the sun decking area! Drinks are a bit pricey though

Great food and fantastic service

What a gem! Throughly enjoyed our evening here. Great atmosphere staff were brilliant. The food was incredible would definitely recommend, looking forward to returning.

Great pub with a local feel. Not easy to find but well worth the search. Service was good. Food was good. We will return.

I took my parents for mother's day. We all had the roast which was fantastic. We also had the Berry crumble and custard. It was all delicious. Well worth a visit. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

Undoubtedly, one of the best gluten-free fish and chips I've tasted in Cornwall - beautifully cooked fish with delicious triple-cooked chips and homemade tartare sauce.

Wow what an amazing roast - sooooo tasty , the staff were so friendly and the service was brilliant - thoroughly recommend

What can I say this place is amazing, we went as table of 24 not an easy task but they were brilliant the Staff were all so friendly and attentive! The food was beautiful!! Will definitely be returning!! Thanks

Although we live locally we didn't know this place existed, but what a discovery. Attentive and friendly staff and food second to none, plenty of it and to a very high standard. My wife and myself had the sharing platter for two that would easily feed 4!! Will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Can only highly recommend Globe Vale and The Shaft Inn 100 percent . The food in the Shaft Inn is top drawer and the Sunday roasts just get better and better and the reason for our return visit today . The bar is up with the best and draught keg beer dispensed spot on served correctly in branded glasses with the branding faced towards the customer . My wife had perfectly presented Gin and Tonic twice and in large bowl stemmed glasses to maximise presentation again . We can only say “thankyou to all” here as always . You’ve cracked it !!

I was with a group of friends and we went on a curry night. I had a lovely tikka masala it was just hot enough for me. Good portions.

Absolutely brilliant service throughout and the food was exceptional. 4 starters, 4 mains, drinks and desert with no fault at all. The food is of a very high standard and cooked to perfection. This is a hidden gem and one not to be missed. We have dined at many expensive places in cornwall and none of them compare to the experience we had on Thursday 4th Jan. We will definitely be returning more than once. Thank you to the chef and thank you team. All the very best Gary, Jo and the twins.

Despite living fairly locally we had never heard of The Shaft Inn before reviews starting popping up on my social media feeds. When my father in law came to stay we decided to pop in for dinner and were very impressed. The Shaft Inn is spotlessly clean, nicely refurbed and the welcome was warm. Our food was plentiful, well presented but most important, delicious! Ideally located on the coast to coast cycle path, I suspect we may be summer regulars! We will certainly be back before then though.

Booked a table for our family all fine, got a call the day after saying we cannot have our table at the time slot which we agreed and had booked in, to be given a ridiculous time at night to be moved too, bloke was extremely rude on the phone, would stay well clear if you want to book in advance

Christmas lunch at The shaft inn and i have to say thank you to the team working today on Christmas day. It was absolutely amazing. Everything from the service to the delicious food we ate. Could not fault it. It was 1st class and an absolute feast. 1st of many I hope. You should all be proud of yourselves. Thank you so so much .

Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff

The food was superb, the staff very friendly and attentive, and a great music selection on the jukebox

Excellent, tasty Sunday roast. Tasty, plated roast pork and all the trimmings. Friendly service as well.

Booked for gin tasting and decided to have a meal first. I liked the menu and chose a seafood sharing board for two with my husband. Food was well cooked, delicious and enough for 3. The surroundings were extremely clean and being an ex pub landlady I notice those kind of things. Great choice of drinks, something to suit every one. The gin tasting was well organised and the distillers were very knowledgeable. Good luck to them, only young and I hope it all works out for them. Now … the manager Tye!! If I still had my public house, I’d be poaching him at any cost!! He was polite, courteous and a whole lot of fun!! Definitely an asset to the place. We live about 2 miles from this place and absolutely delighted that we found it. We will most definitely be back!

A great little find, off the beaten track in the middle of a caravan park. Really welcoming staff. Fantastic, tasty food. Plenty of choices on the menu, great service. Will be coming back.

Just come back from Sunday roast and it was delicious - cooked to perfection nothing too much trouble - will definitely be going back. Tye you absolutely make this place and are the perfect host. Food simply stunning

First visit, for their quiz night. Food served til quite late to those present, both resident and non residents. Good selection, friendly staff with quick service.

Amazing food , the Sunday roast was our first meal . Choose between small medium or large . Very generous portions and really nice to see the meat to us was cooked just the way we like it slow melted in the mouth. We will certainly be going back during our holiday.

The only reason for 3 stars on atmosphere was because it was very quiet with only a couple of other customers. Shame because this place is well worth a visit. We had the Sunday lunch.

Can never fault on our food or the service here! We always look forward to coming and we are always greater with a smile. Thank you!

Very friendly people Great bar staff Great food Spotlessly clean

Due to the nature of my job I get to eat at many steakhouses throughout the UK & London. And I can say I have had some brilliant steaks over the years. But I never thought I would find the best steak I ever had and I mean this was a piece of meat (a 32oz Tomahawk) cooked to perfection who would of thought that a restaurant (The Shaft Inn) on a Holliday Park (Globe vale) in Cornwall could out shine all the steakhouse i'v been too. And the service from the staff was 150%. Can't Wait to have another one. One other thing you need to try their Curry night and Sunday roast and anything else that's on the menu. Keep up the great work Tye and team Shaft inn.

Food really great and customer service was really friendly

Amazing bar/restaurant located in globe vale holiday park, amazing friendly staff and a lovely warm welcoming upon entrance, excellent service during my and my family time eating food at the shaft inn, amazing food so delicious and the chefs are amazing aswell, would highly recommend anyone to go visit and have a meal at the the shaft inn. I Will definitely be going back to the shaft inn for a meal or a quiet drink more in the future.

The Shaft Inn is amazing, great friendly staff and the food is amazing! I had the Rack of Ribs, they were the best I have ever had! The menu has a great choice for everyone, and for me I had trouble deciding what i wanted as there was such a great choice.

What a fantastic find . We were recommend to go by a friend and it exceeded our expectations. We have had the best Sunday lunch in Cornwall as yet ! And we have tried many !! Thank you Tye for a lovely lunch .. we will definitely be back soon as we have heard your ribs are amazing

This is the onsite pub for the Globe Vale Holiday Park which we visited many times during our two week stay. The food and drinks are very good with super friendly staff. There is different entertainment each night. You can sit inside or outside and there is also an outside children's play area.

A really friendly welcome, spotless premises and an absolutely delicious Sunday lunch! The home made Yorkshire puddings would be hard to beat. A tip top experience in every way

Great food and drink, recomend to all who like quality food at reasonable prices

Good food and service . Quiz night, bingo and live music nights

We had family visiting over the last few weeks and found this place was our go-to for meals. Everyone enjoyed their meal at each of the 4/5 sittings that we went. The food is consistently delicious and such a wide range available. Drinks are cheap compared to most of our locals now. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The singer was very good, and Tank's quiz was ace. Definitely recommend and will be returning many, many more times.

Pleased to see Globe Vale campsite now has a decent place to eat on site! Really enjoyed our food and drinks here as did my husband and kids. Good portion sizes and choice. Lovely views of the country side and restaurant placed conveniently next to...

Had a couple of pints of offshore lager two adult meals and a chids meal. All were very nice. Service was friendly and professional at the same time. I would thoroughly recommend the shaft to anyone. Thanks for an enjoyable evening and will see you again.

Lovely little pub very friendly and welcoming. Amazing food and huge portions Would recommend Thank you

Lovely food, lovely staff, cant believe I didnt know about this little gem. Had a singer on, who had a beautiful voice. Had a lovely night out with family.

Great food and decent drinks selection on the globe vale holiday park site

Staying at Globe Vale Holiday Park last week we ate in the Shaft Inn several times. The menu has been updated since our last visit and I was very pleasantly surprised. I have a wheat intolerance and the staff were all very knowledgeable and able...

Had a very nice curry with a good cider to drink

The best pizza I've ever had. Reasonable prices as well. Friendly and fun.

Arrived onsite yesterday evening for our stay here and was glad to see the Inn still open for food. Lovely staff, great food, good prices. Will definitely be using this again later in the week 😀

Went for a Father’s Day roast with my girlfriend and her family on Sunday evening and the food absolutely gorgeous. Cooked perfectly and the service was great with friendly staff.

Great camp site pub. Fresh drinks. Tasty food. Really enjoyed the Offshore Pilsner

The Shaft Inn offers great value. All the staff are professional and welcoming. We were a party of six and all the meals were fantastic (we all had different things) Great range of beers and ciders as well.

The whole site is very good. The pitches the staff, the bar and restaurant, the food, cleanliness, everything. Thank you

Just had a meal at the newly refurbished Shaft Inn, looks amazing inside with great views from the terrace, staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Food was delicious and very well presented, I can highly recommend a visit.
