The Tywarnhayle Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Myself and wife went here for Sunday carvery it was £15 each and we was disappointed with the quality and the service, we paid for our meals via the on line system and the waitress bought us our drinks and our tickets to take up to the carvery counter, while we was waiting we noticed the chef who was cutting the meat was sweating profusely and wiping brow with his arm, when I got to the counter I asked him for beef and pork and he cut them about 3 inches thick! Far too thick to cut with a regular knife easily, and the pork had so much white fat around it, the yorkshires were disgustingly awful, the road potatoes were very hard and tasted stale, the squares of stuffing were very nice tho as was the buttered carrots and the cabbage, unfortunately the Swede was a bit tasteless and we had to scrape the gravy barrel to try to get some gravy out!! Overall a disappointment to be honest, even the table we was on was wobbly, also to point out as well it was very very warm in there. Unfortunately we won’t be returning, we might of just been unlucky because the pub was busy and is in a loverly location, so it might of just been a bad day.

Friendly staff and very welcoming. Unfortunately, we found there was too much butter,too much garlic, and too much cream, which tainted the taste of the food.

Had a brilliant lunch experience at the Tywarnhayle Inn on Saturday. Started with a lovely walk on the beach and pop in to Tywarnhayle Inn to grab a spot of lunch and quench our thirst and we were not disappointed. The staff were extremely polite, welcoming and helpful and the food and beverages were excellent and really great value for money. We will definitely be returning to try the Sunday Lunch and the other meals on the menu.

We can't fault the carvery but the manager was rude and unwelcoming. We popped in at 11.30 asking to book a table but told you couldn't do that.when we arrived at 15.30 it was very busy and at least six tables were booked out to Sarah Wood for 6pm.When I questioned this he couldn't give an answer. I understand loyality to the locals but just be honest.

My wife and I stopped at Tywarnhayle inn for a light lunch and refreshments. For the money we paid I was surprised at what we got. I had the cheese and apple pickle baguette with chips and salad with pint of Korev. My wife had the honey roast ham baguette with chips and side salad with pot of tea. Both meals were tasty and filling. Staff was very friendly and curtiouse. I would recommend this pub to anyone and if we are in the area again we will certainly pop in for food and refreshments

We booked a table for 6 people, the service and food was perfect. Not over priced and the staff were lovely, particularly a lady with pink in her hair was so helpful and friendly.

Really lovely meals, easy to order on the app and delivered in good time. Would highly recommend the mojo verde chargrilled salmon from the specials, truly the tastiest I've eaten in years.

My daughter,my grandson and me went there for a carvery. I must say it was absolutely amazing. The best one I have had. Even my fussy grandson ate most of his. I would definitely recommend it

BEST! STEAK! EVER! Highly recommend to all.

Staff great but food needs work 17 quid for a crap burger is not good basic bap refried chips oil definitely needs a change .. not impressed very basic fair enough charging 17 quid for a good burger but you have a long way to go before you even think about that price range ..

Interior rather jaded, menu uninspiring with long delays. Not recommended. The staff at the bar were welcoming and they coped well with numbers but the main reason for our visit was to enjoy a meal and in that respect it was disappointing.

First time eating at The Tywarnhayle today and the food was absolutely fantastic. It's a lovely pub. We highly recommend and will definitely be coming back. Thank you very much to all the team.

Great location, and a clean tidy place with a pleasant ambience. However, let down by the food. I ordered fish and chips, and a dry, almost dessicated fish with very thick breadcrumbs (not batter) served with mediocre thin fries left me disappointed. A long way from the fish-and-chips pub grub I had anticipated.

We have just eaten at The Tywarnhayle. Lovely pub. My Wife really enjoyed her fish pie. I had the rump steak. Ordered medium rare. The quality was fantastic and cooked to perfection with great chips and onion rings, mushrooms and peas. Beautiful. Many thanks, Ian Parry. Prestatyn, North Wales.

Came here 2 days ago, I had the fish and chips and my wife had the pie, my chips were basically skinny fries with skin on and the fish was over cooked, the pie had nice pieces of meat in but the pastry was pretty much inedible due to it being almost burnt black, had the staff bothered to clear our plates away we would have expressed our disappointment but that didn't happen, won't be going back.

We visited here today on holiday, food was absolutely amazing, a very friendly pub & dogs are really welcome. Would definitely recommend

My mussels were lovely however the chicken burgers were chargrilled. There’s no mention of ‘chargrill’ on the menu however it leave a very big Smokey taste inside your mouth. If it was mentioned on the menu or at the till when ordering my family would have ordered something different. Really unfortunate as we were looking forward to our tea.

Really lovely pub. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu. Much more relaxed in June though compared to August.

We visited this pub on a Wednesday evening (wasn’t that busy). We had to wait 1hr 10 for our food - we chased it with the waiter and he kept fobbing us off telling us ‘we’ll bring it out when it’s done alright’. When it finally arrived the food was dry and bland. Will definitely not recommend. Such a poor experience which cost us £42 for 2x mains and 2x drinks!

Meal was Ty brunch. Sorry to say Bacon was cardboard sausage was solid and the rest was just passable. I am not a fussy eater but, even my dog, had problems eating the above.

Love this pub, great food and beer...nice beer garden and good prices

We was served this evening by carys, she was so attentive, 3 of us had seafood linguine which is a absolutely must. 1 had the special spaghetti, that wasn't so great. However Carys sorted it out straight away. She is credit to you.

Busy pub right next to the beach, day time it's manic book a table for the evening, great place to go and take your dogs too..

Carvery and service were absolutely gorgeous and brilliant! Very very busy but the staff were on the ball especially the lad serving the 3 meats! Went also on an evening, and the steaks were cooked to perfection.

Ordered PUDDING which stupidly came before main meal by the time I ate my dinner pudding was called and ruined service was awful do not recommend l

Very accommodating and friendly. Lovely food

To be told an hour and a half wait for food at peak season in the year at half 7 really ain't great.if you've got time to kill fill ya boots here. Thanks for the reply owner but you weren't rammed,we watched how little came out the kitchen the time we sat there finishing our drinks,one lot of food in nearly half hour(I know how a kitchen works),so I'm guessing lack of staff or other was the problem not peak season.we haven't had to wait anywhere as near as long here for food anywhere else this week.👍🏻

Great food, great staff they were very polite and the food was fantastic

Ate here 5 times in May 2024. Super food and service. The Sunday carvery was fantastic. Super dog friendly as well.

Called in for a drink on our visit to Perranporth beach

Popped in for dinner, food was lovely, thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Best of all is that it is very dog friendly.

Good food good prices great friendly staff and dog friendly too !

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the best Sunday carvery I can honestly say I have ever had. Thanks everyone 👌

We’ve come here many, many times over the years. We love their homemade pie, the great carvery and the staff are always helpful.

We where walking along the beach with the dog and thought we would stop for a drink, found this place which appeared dog friendly. We sat in a beach hut in the pub garden and ended up staying for a quick lunch of fish & chips. Food was good and staff where friendly - we would return 👍

Lovely, friendly staff and food was beautiful. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be going there again

Nice local pub atmosphere but food disappointing. Basically….from cash n carry to freezer to fryer to plate! Nothing fancy, nothing tasty, imo.

Had a lovely pint of rattler with squid. The squid was superb. Highly recommend

Went to Twarnhayle again and it didn’t disappoint once again it was excellent . Delicious food ,very friendly staff ,dog friendly fab prosecco i love it here it was my birthday and they made a very kind gesture to us . Many thanks for a lovely time . Avril

Went for a Sunday carvery, vegetables and roast potatoes were cold, we did get a new plate of food, but roasted parsnips were replaced just topped up withsome more. Knives were blunt and pork very chewy. Won't be going back

Took over 50 minutes for two burger meals to be served whilst the pub was quiet with plenty of empty tables. Nothing particularly special about the 'special' burger; the blue cheese sauce was just a congealed blob on the plate.

You have to take it for what it is. What I will say is the portions are large. And the burger was an absolute surprise; the patty was from the butchers over the road. Taste was lovely. Although, bacon was dry and not crisp. And it required building yourself; they put all the salad for the burger on the side. Staff were excellent, absolutely down to earth and chatty. The burger was very tasty but required building yourself, skip the bacon.

Went for a carvery with the husband, the carvery was lovely. Not badly priced and dogs are welcome in the pub too. Will visit again

Had a great Sunday roast here. Loads of well cooked food at a very reasonable price - and the beer was excellent

Nice choices on the menu. Friendly staff, peaceful atmosphere.....late afternoon when not too busy.

We booked a table for my father in laws birthday and they couldn't have been more welcoming! My father in law cannot manage steps so they very kindly opened the fire exit for us to walk straight in. We were then greeted by friendly staff. We ordered starters and mains and my goodness it was fantastic! There is plenty of choice for everyone and the portions are huge! We all struggled to finish our mains! All in all, an excellent find and we will definitely be back!

AMAZING. Lovely friendly staff and a warm welcoming vibe. Food was delicious, best Steak I've had in months! Definitely recommend!

Loved it! Amazing food & great service.

Great food and excellent value for money. Can recommend the baguettes which come with salad and chips.

Dog friendly place is very important to me.

The Tywarnhayle is our first port of all whenever we holiday in Perranporth. This Friday when we visited late p.m. our excitement to be back quickly evaporated due to the the not-so-friendly male manager. Clearly, he is not suited to work in the hospitality business. We did return Saturday p.m. he was not working and we had a totally different experience, the young man who served us was very friendly and very polite.

Beautiful place, food amazing staff very friendly and helpful we have eaten here a few times now and the quality never alters

Excellent carvery served with a smile bar staff friendly and helpful would definitely visit again

Loverly food, and friendly, helpful staff. Even on a busy day, with restrictions still in place. The Tywamhayle, have food and a team to be proud of Just revisited The Tywarnhayle inn, as I have a couple of times and thought I'd do a two year update🙂 without covid restrictions I still stick by every word I'd said,, i'v just had a fantastic vegan lunch of chips , Salad and a sausage baguette. The service was friendly,, welcoming and helped with a wonderful experience.. Thank you very much, cant wait till next time 11/3/24

Amazing carvery lunch for mothers day. Staff are all lovely, thank you Martjin for your hospitality! Highly recommend the carvery, it was cooked to perfection & absolutely delicious - We will definitely be back...

Great food, pricier than we are used to.

Incredible Sunday carvery!! Definitely be back! Great value. All of our group enjoyed this amazing roast. Full of flavour. Great service too.

Lovely pub with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Dogs are welcome everywhere. Free WiFi. Games, kids colouring and books can be found in nooks and windowsills around the pub. The food is excellent. One of the best fish pies I've ever ordered. Excellent Sunday roasts too. A pub deserving of a visit!

Excellent Sunday Roast visited with my friend who is local she couldn't recommend you more I will definitely be back when I'm in town again

Great outdoor seating, booths provide shelter from the wind. Wide choice of reasonably priced meals with a good range of vegetarian and vegan options. Non alcoholic San Miguel on draught made a welcome change to usual non alcoholic choices. Delicious food, large portions and all served piping hot. Reasonably priced, great value for money. Friendly atmosphere.

The quality of the food was really nice. Had a few issues, Table booked for 6.30pm , apparently 200 people had a roast. Beef, Gammon, Turkey, what was on offer was beef and chicken. Instead of suggesting the carvery was low, we ordered, nothing was made aware the carvery was low, sign on on the way up was advertising Beef, Gammon, Turkey, unfortunately they just had beef and chicken to replace the turkey, the stuffing was burnt, dried up and been there a long time, chef said he could not do anything and offered me an extra few slices of beef. He said they could not take too much meat out, as this will cause wastage and the business will go under, specials for the day after, chef said specials was already planned. Lady bar staff said carvery stops at 7pm, but on website and big sign by main door clearly states to 8pm ? , 7.10 pm still serving carvery. Very disappointed. The chef should of beem in contact with staff to say low on meats. As it's a bit expensive, there's no offer of some money back, just a free pint pf coke.

I love this pub! The staff were helpful and friendly, the decor and atmosphere is always nice too. Our meals were great - good quality, tasty and the portions were huge. The garlic mushroom starter was amazing - the photo I've included shows the bowl that was FULL of delicious creamy mushrooms :) I will always recommend the Ty xx

Booked in for New years eve gala and had a fabulous night from start to finish, extremely well organised and a massive thanks to all the staff. Champagne and canopies on arrival, followed by a 4 course meal, the lamb was the biggest piece I have ever had and was so tasty. The only minor let down was the music which definitely didn't suit the age group attending. Nice touch was bringing all the kitchen staff out to meet the guest and they got a big round of applause which was definitely deserved. Would recommend

Huge portions of fantastic food, brilliant carvery dog and child friendly. Lovely to sit outside in the Summer, plus fun quizzes and often live music on too in the evenings. Can't wait to go back! Perfect for a cold one on the way back from the beach!

Lovely as always. Really nice food at reasonable prices. Very dog friendly too! One of our favourite places to eat in Peranporth.

Absolutely amazing!!! my Dad ordered plain nachos for my mum, although she did not want jalapeños she did want the chicken and chorizo so the manager personally went above and beyond and the dish re appeared and I was left feeling jealous

I went here to get fish and chips. Haven't had proper fish and chips for nearly 5 years. Been out of the country. First impressions, nice inside, good selection of beers. Service was very good. Shame they don't do bar tabs but no big deal. Also the app to order the food wasn't on so had to go to the bar to order. Again no big deal. The meal. The fish was top notch. Crispy skin and lovely and hot. The chips were really fried but still tasty. I would have liked mushy peas instead of garden peas and the tartare sauce seemed to be mayo and pickle. A bit tasteless. But all in all I enjoyed it. Going to come back soon to try their nachos.

First time eating here, and we will definitely be returning.

We had the most amazing meal this evening from the specials board. A lovely fillet steak with gratin potatoes , fried mushrooms, parsnips and kale with a red wine jus. Melt in the mouth full of flavour compliments to the chef totally recommend 😊

Lovely carvery, We were a large family party with baby and kids, very helpful and caring staff. Will be going again.xx

Excellent food and efficient friendly service. Highly recommend... fantastic Sunday roastie!

Arrived on Saturday for the start of our week in Perranporth. Now I've been visiting for several years now and been here before (last meal was there Sunday carvery and that was bloody awesome) so the reason we chose to eat here and also dog friendly. I had the steak the wife had the burger. The chap behind the bar either needs to start smiling or find a job he likes because he wasn't very friendly. Food arrived and was very disappointed. Most sides were cold except the mushrooms they were red hot. Steak seemed like a very cheap cut, and the wife's burger was overcooked (dogs seemed to enjoy it though) certainly not worth the money. And not busy, so that can't be an excuse. Sorry, but we've avoided this all week now.

Food was really good, everyone on our table got different dishes and they were all lovely, reasonably priced as well. Only complaint would be that to use the disabled toilet you have to leave the pub and go around the building and it is in a shed in the beer garden, and when I say shed I mean a wooden garden shed. They obviously have to have disabled facilities, but it wasn't very fun having to help my family member around there in the rain between courses. Just an inconvenience to consider for anyone visiting who needs disabled facilities.

Fantastic meal in lovely dog friendly pub sheltering from the wind and rain. Excellent menu with food to suit all tastes, great choice of drinks, super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend, both the dogs loved all the food and treats too

Good dog friendly pub. Meals lovely. Service good. Booking on a Sunday is fairly essential. Gets busy in holiday times.

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere

Came in the summer just for drinks as we couldn’t get in, but managed to get a table tonight for Sunday carvery, 😋 gorgeous great chef, great food fab chilled vibes. Thank you 😊 I’m a tough one to please 🤪😊

Not massively impressed, my partner ordered additional items to his meal (which cost extra) which he didn’t receive, my meal unfortunately came out mostly cold so I ate half of it and left the remaining. For 2 meals and 2 drinks which came to over £50 I was very unsatisfied. I don’t like to complain as the staff may have been up against it and the fact it was raining may possibly have meant they waited to bring the food out which meant that’s why it was a bit cold? The staff themselves were lovely so couldn’t fault them but sadly we hoped for better and to receive what had been paid for.

Love this place, very friendly and helpful staff, food is excellent value for money and wheelchair friendly. Sunday roasts are amazing. Dog friendly in winter months, can’t speak for summer. Would highly recommend

Excellent food, a little pricy but very nice. Portion size was also good.

Lovely chilled atmosphere on a rainy day. Didn't mind our pooch on a cummfy chair. The best thick cut ham free range eggs and chips ever. Top shelf.

The safe are lovely,the food is unbelievable,compliments to the chef, we had steak and ale pie,mash and green beans, I had fish pie with green beans, if you going to look for a warm friendly pub this is the one to go to, 5⭐big thank you to the staff. Another fantastic meal, wow thank you to the chef and staff👍😁 if I lived here I would eat here everyday 😁

Come here every Sunday if we are in Cornwall without fail. Never had a bad roast! Anyone we've brought here always rates it 10/10. We travel up and down the country for work and this is still hands down the best carvery you can get. Staff are always run off there feet but always polite and willing to help you out anyway they can.

My wife and I visited the Tywarnhayle Inn for the Sunday carvery and honestly it was amazing! I called up during the day and asked to book, however they said they were fully booked, the staff member did say that there are sometimes tables around so we chanced it, and I’m so glad we did. We ordered the regular carvery but it was huge! The beef was cooked perfectly, the gammon was lovely and the selection of veg was amazing. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we rebooked for the monday Quiz Night. When we came back, we had the nachos each, as well as the garlic mushrooms to share. The nachos are probably the best we’ve ever had, they were epically big, honestly huge. The garlic mushrooms were to die for as well, the sauce was so moorish! Highly recommend visiting!

Great food served with a twist of "rip off". Ordered 3 large carveries but when I went for mine I was given a regular plate because they didn't have any large plates. Same amount of food as a regular, but for more money. Also kids carvery for £11 each, just seems a bit steep.

We called in for a family carvery meal, the food was good (remember that) but the experience could have been better. I was given a regular plate for my large carvery (they claimed they explained this to me at the time, but I didn't hear/understand). When others in my party returned with larger plates, I went and asked what the difference between a large and a regular carvery was and I was told, by the server, it was just the size of the plate; nothing about getting more meat or anything. So I left with the impression that the amount of meat was the same between regular and large, and this created the feeling of having paid more than I needed to to get the same amount of food. I also thought £11 for a childs carvery was a bit too much. Will not be visiting ever again and neither I nor the owners will care.

Book a table and it's a great pub. Superb beers and great food. Live music excellent.

Staff excellent. Extremely long wait for food. When finally arrived was cold . Poor quality for price. Won't be returning. Only table available was draughty near to door.

Always great service from excellent and clearly happy in their job staff, and fantastic food, well priced and good portion sizes. The Sunday carvery, even towards the end of the service on a very busy Sunday was one of the best carvery lunches I've had. Breakfast was very good too. Looking forward to visiting you again next year.

Picked this for it's Sunday carvery and wasn't disappointed. Place is inviting, clean and staff very helpful. Even though it was a birthday threat and asked for decoration on table, I was offered a discount as staff where very busy so it wasn't done. But meal and choice on carvery was excellent. Would definitely go again.

Had a drink in here one afternoon and decided to go back a couple of days later for evening meal. Lovely food, good service and atmosphere. Highly recommended

We were recommended and weren’t disappointed! Really nice food and beautiful pub inside, friendly staff and reasonably priced for the location and setting. Definitely book if you can as it was quite busy. However we paid for our food in cash with £30 and should’ve had a few pounds change, which wasn’t given. We asked for it (and got it back) but were met with bewilderment as if we shouldn’t ask for it back.

Food was shockingly bad. Was served the wrong pint and the staff member was adamant they didn't do it. Parking was impossible.

Female barmaid was very sullen and moody not a smile thank you nothing , pub was busy as a Sunday lunchtime couldn’t get a seat indoors so sat at the bar , ordered some snacky food off the menu cheesy chips were cold greasy poor quality and tasteless the cheapest cheese was used the onion rings were good just felt there was no atmosphere no friendliness from staff and food was poor

My niece and I had the Sunday carvery, we chose the small plate as neither of us are big eaters, it was hot and delicious, can’t fault it, the staff were very polite and helpful, would definitely recommend it.

Booked for 2 of us for 2pm on Sunday and we were not disappointed. Choice of 3 meats, turkey, beef and gammon and you can have all 3 if you want. The veg was just great and definitely not overcooked. All in all it was superb and really enjoyed it.

We had the home made steak and ale pie very nice and tasty would highly recommend 5

Always have lovely meals when we visit the area

Went here two days running for our weekend in Cornwall. Lovely beer garden seating area. Great food on the Saturday and phenomenal carvery on the Sunday.

We live locally and like to eat out but hadn’t been in to the Tye. We recently popped in on the off chance that we could get a Sunday roast. What we experienced was one of the best roasts we have had anywhere. Also, all the staff, from servery to bar staff, and especially the managers, (Tjin and Carys) were so professional. We could see that they were really busy but managing things effortlessly, and really looking after the visitors. 10 out of 10 for everything!
