The Witchball in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Back open again! Only serving seafood in conjunction with the adjoining shack. Great Mine Host!

Fantastic. Quaint place full of fun and full of life... From all around the world. From walking in and being a part of a family to leaving and reminded to come back.. Fabulous thank you x

A warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Popped in for a pint on Saturday - got chatting to some others (not necessarily locals but a couple were) and ended up spending most of the afternoon here. Loved it and the dog was happy too after his long walk.

Very nice pub in The Lizard. The staff is welcoming and very nice. Very friendly atmosphere and people around here. Cornish hospitality at its best.

Was told they don't do food from the pub anymore. Only mostly fish dishes from the tiny cafe . Outside space looks a bit rundown Nice friendly staff though.

Returned back to this pub again this week after coming last year and it’s the still very warm and friendly vibe pub, the owner and his son are such lovely guys. The pub is so cosy if it’s cold with a fantastic fire in the back room. We even got the board games out!!! Highly recommend this place, if you’ve not been here, you need to go!!! Best pub on the Lizard by a mile! Keep up the great work, we ll be back again soon x

Had a great lunch stop whilst walking the coastal path. Crab sarnies from the seafood cafe next door washed down with a pint of tribute 👌

Great place, great food, friendly service: warmly recommended !

Had a great fun time in this pub whilst on holiday . Locals made us feel very welcome & we thoroughly enjoyed the football . Drinks reasonable & very fresh fish dishes available from the nearby fish place .

Came to lizard for two weeks from london and didn’t see any point in going to any other pub the whole time. The Witch Ball has it all. VERY friendly staff. GREAT food. very friendly customers. very nice beers. If you don’t go to this pub whilst in Lizard you are very silly. it’s so lovely to sit outside in the sun with a GREAT fish and chips and a pint. it is DOG friendly and has a pool table and darts to play inside. good selection of beers on tap, great options on the menu, especially shellfish. they have crab, haddock, lobster, prawns. it all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Loved this pub! So much so, we ended up here every evening while camping down on the Lizard. The owner is super friendly, as our the locals. The Lizard Shellfish does all the food and it’s fresh, highly recommend! My parents came down here two weeks prior and also had a great experience.

Always pop in, locals are very friendly, and enjoy their self's. Would definitely recommend you go and see for yourself. Did not have food, but they are doing a good selection of sea food from a cafe next to them. We will be back.

Great little , good food , good beer , defo a nice call in on the way back from a coast path walk

Nice atmosphere, dog friendly, no longer sell food, decent draft drinks

Fantastic, minus the low beams. Tom is a fantastic barman. Wonderful hospitality and warmth. Couldn't ask for anything more. A credit to the business.

Very friendly and welcoming. Large family party accommodated including 2 toddlers and 4 dogs. Good menu selection for all palates. Food tasty, good and well presented. Good selection of local ales & gins too. Returning customers.

Called into this 15th century pub after a lovely walk around Lizard Point.The Witchball is situated in the heart of Lizard village. It was Boxing Day afternoon and the place was heaving. Good range of drinks ,but on this particularly busy day there was no food or hot drinks available . Perfectly understandable. Service was good and we managed to get a seat at a table before it got even busier. Great post -Xmas atmosphere. Seating available outside too. Dogs welcome. Very well worth a visit

Welcoming, wrm, chaotic, friendly. Like a hug in pub form. Very dog friendly, good food and drink. Very friendly and welcoming publican.

Stayed locally for the week visited this pub 3 times and ate twice,dirty fries with steak and mushroom sauce,mussels with coconut and chilli sauce,onion bhaji burger,and Caribbean fish curry all superb whatever this pub does do not loose the chef,what a find,far better than other more expensive places.Great beers good company.

Great local pub, cheap local drinks, lots of fun!

9 of us went in for lunch for my Sons birthday. We sat in the little side room, which was lovely. Great good, great value. Highly recommended 👌

The right side of this pub is 16th Century. I just called in for a pint but it was so good I had to have another. The beers/ales available change regularly to give more choice, on my visit one beer was on promotion at £2.90 a pint. Lots of seating outside and inside.

Very busy pub because of the rugby World Cup. Dinner menu is small, but is accompanied by a much larger selection of specials, which are Caribbean themed and delightful. I had the Caribbean fish curry which was wonderful and full of flavour. My wife had jerk pork with a spice salad, and my son had an e ormous voodoo burger! Throughly recommended.

Absalute fabulous meal. Hot ,fresh and delicious certainly recommend it. Friendly staff .

Called in for beer because the beer at a nearby pub was served flat. The beer like the staff was perfect. The was a "pub" like vibe to the place.

Great friendly pub with great food.

Cracking food and great service. Love this pub.

Lovely lunch and friendly staff. The monster burger was delicious & so was the fish & chips.

Great to see this old pub coming back to life. Four of us had surf and turf very it was nice. My son and I called back a couple of days later just as good as the first time. The last owner let it go down hill. I wish the new owners all the best and I hope they keep the good work up. The staff are friendly and happy in there work. Desie Wilson.

We came across this pub by chance and really glad we did. Tiny place inside but adequate seating outside. Fabulous food and very reasonable prices. Staff really friendly and despite it being extremely busy, service was good. The loaded fries were delicious. Just perfect after a long trek across the coast.

This lovely pub is on the Lizard in Cornwall and is the most southerly pub on mainland UK. This was a great place, we had portabello mushroom burgers and sweet potato frys followed by a chocolate desert with ice cream. There was a great choice for non-meat eaters. The food was top notch at a great price. The service was excellent, the staff were very polite and helpful, we didn't want for anything. It's that good we have booked a table to go back there. Well done and thank you for making this a truly enjoyable relaxing meal.

Lovely pub. Food was fantastic and great portions too.

I like this pub , it's a locals pub and they are all friendly and inviting,we stop off here for a few beers every afternoon and watch the world go by .

Popped in for a pint and some food. Best pint of Guinness I'd had for a long time! We had the steak in creamy mushroom sauce on fries, absolutely delicious!

A very friendly pub to visit and eat and drink.

Walked up from the Lizard for a pint was pleased this pub was open as it was closed last time I was in the area sat outside in the sunshine.

Local pub with a good chef food was really nice very happy and will be back again

Fabulous friendly service from a very funny barman

Lovely food and good friendly staff.

Really nice family meal. Very friendly helpful staff. Simple menu so great food, well cooked and very tasty. Good value also. Only issue is its 10 hour drive from home!

The staff are really lovely and we felt really looked after. The atmosphere is really welcoming and apart from cigarette smoke wafting (that can't be helped) we had a lovely time .

A lovely drink in a lovely pub. Great place to spend an hour sat outside in the sun🤘. The Rattler is very good.

Le pub le plus au sud de l'Angleterre Allez y c'est très sympa ! Tarifs très corrects

Lovely old pub with a good choice of ales. Staff very welcoming and freindly. O ly had a few beers, did not try the food.

Perfect atmosphere from the staff and the landlord, a proper pub

Five stars for the atmosphere alone. Add good food and great ales - this is a really good pub.

Bad service, a little rude with not much information when you walk to the door

Lovely little pub, enjoyed a couple of pints of Rattlers here, dog friendly and friendly staff as well

Have placed this place so many times but never went in - won't make that mistake again! Delicious hot food and friendly staff, dog friendly and a fantastic venue.

Proper pud friendly didn't have food as they currently wasn't doing food but good ales

Beautiful food! Cute little pub. Need to book in advance for food. Its gets busy very quickly.

Gorgeous old pub. Freehouse, had some sea fury left over from a beer festival still on tap. Some of the nicest sharps beer I've had. Food looked stunning and dog friendly.

Reserviert um Fish & Chips zu essen. Zum Glück, denn es war total voll. Trotz des Stresses, waren alle Servicekräfte sehr freundlich. F&C waren super. Als Vorspeise hatten wir Garlic Mushrooms - die kamen allerdings fast zeitgleich mit der Hauptspeise. Ausreichende Auswahl an Bier (Ale und Lager) und Wein (extra Karte). Preise sind absolut okay. Haben zu zweit 50£ mit Tip bezahlt.

Absolutely loved this pub! We wish we had this closer to home, the staff are outstanding and went above and beyond on more than one occasion when it was late, in sorting us food and drinks whilst staying locally. Outstanding staff, food and drink. The sea food and pizzas we had were insane, the cocktails were lovely too! Definitely worth a visit! Very very reasonably priced and much nicer than the more expensive places we went! Not sure how anyone could fault this place! Thank you for making it so memorable for us, will definitely come back!

Great pub, reall nice food and the live music is spot on

Haben am Vortag reserviert um Muscheln zu essen, haben dies auch dazu gesagt und uns wurde gesagt es sind ausreichend Muscheln vorhanden. Am nächsten Tag sind wir hingekommen und wollten Muscheln bestellen, dies ging aber nicht, weil anscheinend alle Muscheln ausverkauft waren. Daher haben wir uns Steaks bestellt, da sowieso Steak Night war. Die Steaks waren eine volle Katastrophe, wir wollten Medium, bekamen aber ein völlig rohes (außen 1mm angebrasselt) und zwei völlig durchgegrillte Steaks. Außerdem waren die Steaks voller Fett und "Flachsen", was daraus schließen lässt, dass das Fleisch total billig war. Daher würde ich euch empfehlen dieses Lokal unbedingt zu meiden, um nicht auch noch diese schlechte Erfahrung zu erleben!

Had an excellent time great day and evening good cider , friendly staff and live music.glad I spent birthday there👍

Delicious food, dog friendly and warm service. Would come back again!

Stopped for a pint, very unique building, really old and quirky, nice atmosphere and staff were very friendly 😊

It a Lovely local pub, I have quite impressed actually the pizza and fish and chips are sooo delicious and fresh

Amazing food and very friendly staff,didn't have to wait long for our food,loved it

Good quality (and reasonably priced) food, quick service, friendly staff. Many thanks!

So I booked a table for 8pm on a Weds night. Steak night. On arrival, no steaks left! The rest of the menu is bang average. Then I’m told there’s a 45 minute wait for food. Shocking! I walked out in disgust with the whole family.

Visited The Witchball a couple of times during our stay at Lizard. Nice place to sit outside in the sun for a drink and we also visited to have dinner. Dinner was nice and I think reasonably priced for what you get. The mussel starter was good size and the mussels for main was significantly bigger and came with a lot more bread and chips. Could of had a few more scallops for the starter, but they were cooked nicely, not over done and the half lobster for main was also cooked well, not dry. We ate outside as wanted a laid back dinner so can't comment on the service inside the pub. Would eat there again if in the area.

Sat outside on a lovely sunny evening with a pint of rattler just great

Seafood at its best.. great barman...

Fun place to eat value for money and friendly staff

Steak was amazing and staff was great! Beautiful pub

Quite a busy evening in the restaurant, but after waiting half an hour after finishing our main course, and still with dirty plates and no drinks we decided not to wait for dessert menu. The food we had was fine, but with people waiting for tables it seemed ridiculous for them to ignore us. Disappointed.

Excellent food and service, definitely worth a visit

Had a delicious lunch there. Homely, fresh fish and nice size portion. Highly recommended

Had dinner at The Witchball whilst staying in lizard overnight while walking part of the Coastal Path. The food was great and excellent value, and the local ale was a great pint. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Very local pub, food was excellent, had catch of the day, hake, wife had linguini with prawns, excellent food, service was great. Even have room outside. Parking where u can, mainly on the street

really good fish and chips and cool building

Nice pet friendly pub with great food and friendly helpful staff 👍

Fabulous food. Excellent service. Friendly staff

Quaint old pub chatty staff nice old place worth a visit

Great beer and dog friendly. Food looked good but didn't eat there.

Really great pub the most southerly pub , the food and staff are great

Lovely fish and chips and teh biggest sausage I have seen in my life! Thank you for having us, food and drinks were amazing!

Nice pub..OK food... friendly staff..however the Gents Toilet is DISGUSTING!!! The Toilet seat is hanging off the door locks are broken and filty..looks like never been cleaned in Years !!

A lovely place to visit when in lizard, they serve fresh food, the customer service was really good and prompt. The fish and chips we had was caught in the local area, the kids menus are really well valued, the kids burger was nearly the size of an adults burger, I will say that this sort of location is primarily suitable for the elder generation and travelers. Over all I really enjoyed my stay and the food that was provided.

Fantastic food and friendly staff

Great vibe and amazing Sunday roast. Will come again. If you are veggie make sure to call ahead, their vegetarian roast was very nice but they don't stock it every week.

Friendly manager/owner. Small pub with a great choice of drinks at reasonable prices and a fantastic pool table.

Had the very best Sunday Lunch here. Huge recommend from me.

Really disappointing. Ignore the other five star reviews - this is no more than an ok pub which punches above its weight due to being in the food desert of the furthest end of Cornwall. The lobster was overcooked. The Thai curry was weirdly sweet and had a strange slightly globby consistency - I would have been embarrassed to serve it at home. We left very disappointed after having chosen it specifically for fresh seafood. It's fairly rundown inside too - it feels like it hasn't been decorated for 20 years, and had a slightly social club feel to it. It was friendly, though, and would recommend for a drink. But no more than than.

Lovely pub, great grub , wonderful atmosphere. Don't let the look put you off !

Always on our list to visit when on the lizard, great food , lovely sunday lunch, and very dog friendly.

Great little place full of history. Most Southerly pub in UK Food was delicious

Really enjoyable meal. Had the menu board specials tonight.. Salmon catch of the day, served with boiled potatoes and salad; and, halibut with cream sauce, mashed potatoes and mixed sauted vegetables. Perfect! Well done!

Lovely country pub with good cider and seafood.

Food perfectly cooked great portions staff very helpful nothing was a problem would defenatly go again and would recommend only five stars on this but would give 10 stars

Called in on a whim and was delighted to find an old English pub oozing with character. The low beamed ceiling and small rooms with tables were cozy and nostalgic. We shared a seafood green Thai curry which was delicious and huge! Great little place

"Excellent"..what more can I say. Stew and Wens from SA living in UK now for 3 years and love Cornwall and especially 🦎 X

Went with the hopes of some great seafood. Following pictures and suggestions. However was left disappointed. I had the 1/2 lobster, and I have to say it was the toughest piece of lobster ever! So overdone it was almost inedible. That coupled with a 45min wait, it left much to be desired. Shame really, as the vibe of the pub was really good. 😕

Good food and friendly helpful staff.

Drink and service was great but the food left more to be desired, wouldn't recommend for the food but a great time for drinks and socialising.

Called in for lunch on a day trip to The Lizzard . Amazing food. The Sunday roast will satisfy the largest appetite and the lobster was first class . Great atmosphere with friendly , helpful staff. Highly recommended 👌

It's was okay, the bread we couldn't eat them because it's scaled. Scallops was not fresh as day. Perhaps we came a little later than 5pm, maybe it's was fresh at lunch??
