The Swordfish Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Charming pub but the price of soft drinks was extortionate and I'm from London! The bar man was excellent but I don't like the practice of up selling side dishes. The manager handled a situation well but could have done so earlier. Beer was good and so we're the sandwiches.

Staff perfect, place amazing but the owner and the attitude he came into the pub with and the way he speaks to his staff is appalling, shame on him letting the place down.

Nice friendly atmosphere, good selection of beers

Priced out of staying there this weekend. Shame but not the same as april. So expensive. Polish girl wanting drink everytime she served. Not our style. We reward service; nothing else. Maggie excellent. Shame

Great place one of my favourite places. And have great live music

friendly pub, lovely staff, a massive bedroom and decent Breakfast

Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff

Not dog friendly Very rude landlady

Lovely well kept room and breakfast was lovely can't ask more on a one night stopover.

A good place, the area is split between a basic front bar, and a classic lounge, up to 4 ales available.

I was disappointed with this pub after reading some of the reviews. The beer wasn't even that good, I had two mediocre points of Doombar. I've had much better. The locals shout and swear a lot at the bar, and the landlady likes to blast loud rock & roll and heavy metal music. If that's your thing and you're not too fussed about the beer, this pub is perfect for you. If not, give it a miss.

Immediately liked it as soon as we walked in, good service good atmosphere, only had the one pint, but that's because we were on a bit of a crawl - looking forward to going back on Monday

Always a great welcome by Helen , old fashioned style pub with lots of character .

Great pub. People very friendly

Good traditional pub in the heart of Newlyn

Always come here when in Ne wlyn or Penzance. Love it

Excellent. A traditional Cornish Fisherman's pub . Lovely staff 👌 👍

Great accommodation good beer served by brilliant staff

Great local atmosphere, unfortunately staff were not the most informative

Good atmosphere and excellent service. Good clean toilets. Outside wooden seating too. No premises parking noticed, bus top opposite with regular service. Cool inside on a hot day. Close to shops.

Locals pub with live music. We saw Marmalade Shed, good music, great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and service. Sat outside the back in the sunshine.

Proper Cornish boozer. Easy access by bus from Penzance. A local's local. I love it, but then I belong to that sadly declining few who go to the pub not to eat, but to socialise and listen to everyday life and have a few drinks and even a few more when the situation comes along.

Second time been in the swordfish brilliant friendly staff

Quiet the time I went but very friendly customers, inviting pub and so was Joe the barman( I believe was his name ) Beer from the handpumps in great condition , I tried the thatchers haze as well.

Decent traditional pub with sport on TV. Good staff and beer. I enjoyed

Not bad.. nice to see Joe again!

Bit quite this time of year in Newlyn but if you like well kept real ales and good service drop in here for a beer with a relaxed atmosphere. Also shows the rugby games which are well supported so need to get in early if you want a place to watch the action.

Nice local pub ,bit of a sports bar but everyone friendly ,nice location to

Bartenders were drunk and shouting at eachother. Horrible experience. Oh and no sky sports.

Amazing fish dishes and such good service in a stunning location

Great atmosphere for the rugby!

Great little pub. No food here but go down the road and pick up some fish and chips and bring it on over

Great beer nice atmosphere friendly staff

Fantastic pub with a wonderful atmosphere, friendly service and a great crowd. I felt very comfortable here!

Room was big which was good it gave us plenty of space as we had our two dogs with us. All the staff very friendly

Atmospheric pub. No food served at the moment but you can take your own food in. Top ale and very clean toilets. Small patio with tables and right in the heart of Newlyn.

Great Guinness. Beautiful bar maid.

Great friendly pub got some free homemade heeva cake, was lovely

Interesting pub, with a large outside area down the side of the street it's on not far from dock entrance. Three cask beers, when I visited but opinion of bar was that the Sea Fury had just gone as not clearing (always impressive) Proper job chosen & very drinkable. Good range on the bar for other drinks, The pub inside is Multi-roomed. Only called in for a drink on a sunny day (always a bonus) so took opportunity to sit outside which was clearly popular as many tables taken. Well worth a visit!

Nice friendly pub with a good vibe lovely outside area too

Great pub, friendly staff and good beer. Met the local drunk, very nice chap called Ash!

Very lovely place watched the womens football final great night

typical fisherman's pub very pleasant atmosphere

Not the most welcoming place. No food, grubby and surly staff.

Stayed there on 30 July, really friendly people, spotlessly clean room and a fantastic breakfast . Thank you swordfish!

Lively, friendly, harbourside bar. Well worth a visit. Can be very noisy; that's half the fun. Rugby (obviously) takes precedence on the TV.

Nice enough pub Some great characters and nice staff However, They ran out of most of the beer Quite important for a pub

Unfortunately we went for a quiet drink but had two men swearing in loud voices ... had a few too many..

Great pub. Friendly staff and customers. Apparently has a reputation for being rough. This is historic and it's fine now

Friendly pub - clean, well equipped bedroom with really comfortable bed - only downside noisy customers leaving pub late at night

Good choice of beer, friendly and fun

haven’t been but looks a bit sad

Was ok but the staff made us feel unwelcome like they didnt want us there.

Perfect local pub, had great ciders as well as good beers on tap. Good bathrooms too! No food served but snack available. Come for the outside seating area and stay for a pint of Rolling Apple Cider.

Great find and dog friendly ! Staff are lovely and the room is clean a bright. We will be back !

Went in yesterday for drinks . I'm from taunton and Exeter chiefs supporter. Was great atmosphere. Met Luke Cowen Dickie friend and Jack nowell friends. Didn't know that Jack nowell owns the pub

Good selection of ales changing often! Friendly staff and great music nights!!

Place very welcoming and very lively on Saturdays. There was no risk of drunken brawls obviously anyhow. Good variety of beers and ales.

Great pub great atmosphere. It is not quiet at night as people drink outside even in February.

Great, goid atmosphere and friendly staff and punters

Top boozer good beer great bar staff good sounds

Could not ask for a warmer welcome. Spotlessly clean. Bright room. Big fluffy towel and awesome Full English with thick cut bacon. Sadly I missed my train ... and my reservation. They let me use the bathroom and grab breakfast when I arrived. I cannot thank them enough. Pub is brilliant too. Great pics of old Newlyn. Fantastic beer garden and dog friendly - remember that from summer. Big HD screen for Rugby too. Thanks again. See you again.

Loved it loads of different spirits on offer proper pubs pub.

Nice to experience a local pub.

You just gotta dance to that music in there and wow what a change of tempo . Bar staff just spot on full marks Newlyn raw energy love it.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Good live music Fridays.

Lovely lively place. If in Newlyn we'll worth a visit

The Swordy never fails, the folk in there are a mix of all sorts, this makes the place charming.

Friendly patrons, good seating, clean, beer "garden" what's not to love.?!

Just got home, proper pub. Amazing.

Excellent pub. Friendly staff. Also live music at weekends.

Very pleasant and friendly staff. Very clean throughout. Nice beer garden at the back.

Beautiful setting. Great pint and a lovely cream tea

Such a welcome..... lovely atmos

Very friendly traditional pub in the heart of Newlyn well enjoyable great Juke Box.

No food available today, and awful Planet Rock radio station blaring out inside the pub. Both of the ladies toilets had toilet seats that skewed to one side and doors that wouldn't lock because the bolt was miss-aligned. The beer was excellent and the small garden is pleasant to sit in. The barmaid 'worked her socks off' restocking the bar and cleaning.

Lively, busy, fishing harbour pub

A small very traditional old public house on the quay side in Newlyn with a good selection of drinks and a few Sharps brewery ales on the bar

The temperature of coffee and 🍺 are similar;)

Liked it, nice friendly atmosphere

Popular pub serving a great pint of Guinness. Drop by as your most likely to drive by this little gem.

Lovely pub clean pleasant staff good range of beer

Great place for a few nights to stay in Cornwall

Good pub and b+b. What I call a traditional pub, good breakfast. Helpful staff

Cornish fisherman pub, the real deal, not family friendly which is fine.

Lovely evening spent with friends. A real locals pub...good job I'm local then!

Great beer prices & staff. V friendly locals

Lovely to have a 'normal' pub experience. Fab staff. They weren't serving food but happily let us bring in our take out grub.

Relaxing. Nice locals and clientele.

Great night the barmaid Abbey is delightful, I can highly recommend as a good night out

My Husband and I watched the lions game here last Saturday and had the best time ever! Lovely friendly local people. There was a lovely lady who served us, wish we noted her name because she honestly was the best, so funny and refreshing. As they weren't serving food she let us bring food in, such a treat! Couldn't recommend enough

Nice 'local' populated pub, helpful staff. But you have to expect a strong local flavour. We liked it and went there because of a rugby connect. Just saying, that it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The rooms are spotless and breakfast is more than adequate. We really enjoyed our stay

Lovely drink in the outdoor beer garden in the sun

Miserable staff, nice beer garden

A decent pub full of a really kind, good-humoured and accepting mix of locals and visitors

Fantastic local pub. Great atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you are in the area! Superb!

A proper old fashion local, just the way I like them.

Nice place, but drinks are expensive.

Nice friendly Inn, food brilliant and great value. Would definitely recommend.
