Victory Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's a great all rounded pub fantastic friendly staff with a great sense of humour The food is fantastic and plentyfull a lot to choose from. You certainly won't be disappointed, There's plenty of room to park with a great beer garden to a pub that's worth going back to for more highly recommend

We had two meals here while on holiday in the area. Great food and friendly service. Highly recommended.

We booked a table for Sunday roast and it was absolutely amazing. Fantastic service, the staff were all really lovely. The roast was delicious. We will be visiting again very soon.

Really impressed with this pub, mainly thanks to the wonderful service we received from the young blonde waitress on a Saturday evening. Nothing was too much trouble, she was honest and friendly; it was really refreshing to receive such service and we appreciated it a lot. The food was also great, generous portions and tasty. Really great value for money too. We didn’t want anything fancy after a long day exploring the area, just good local pub food, and we were not disappointed. I would definitely recommend.

Great food , good service , lovely people. The BEST garlic bread and cheesey garlic bread. Good prices and good selection with a large fresh specials board. Very comfortable new outdoor seating great for a pre meal drink

Wow. So good. Everything about this pub was wonderful. Staff so friendly. Busy pub so recommend booking a table for food. Food was just beautiful and plenty of it too. Thankyou for making our last night in Cornwall perfect

Booked in for Sunday lunch, four adults and a dog. Really great lunch with great choices, and presented really well. Traditional roast done properly, and lots of alternatives on offer. The staff were friendly and attentive with genuine smiles. We will definitely visit again, many thanks

Don't judge a pub by it's architecture! This is lovely pub, friendly staff and a great selection of very tasty, generously portioned food. Nice garden to the rear too, catching the evening sun.

I don't normally favour Sunday roasts not done at home, never seem to be better than home-cooked. The Victory roast was definitely an excellent substitute. Well cooked and presented it was delicious. Great service as well. 👏

Most enjoyable, good food, well-kept beer, very friendly, and stunning sunset.

On the day we went, a Saturday, the Victory seemed quietly busy. We were sat in an area containing three tables. Which provided enough space for each table to have a private conversation. Service was friendly and efficient from the minute we entered and throughout our visit. The food was plentiful and and delicious. The menu was well placed, a good variety of dishes including several options for v, vg and gluten free. We would happily return here. Our only complaint was that the side salad was too big and more of a main 🤣

Didn't have food of, had some ales and really good!! Very friendly and noticed the menu board has improved since visiting I'm last time.

Been twice this week and both times meals and drinks were great. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Will visit again next week.

A lovely pub/resteraunt and just a 5 minute drive from Porthtowan Tourist Park where we are staying with our caravan. The food is delicious and the portions generous. We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here today and will certainly be visiting the place again during our stay here.

Cozy restaurant with a pub feel. In addition to the actual menu, there is also a board with temporary specials that have a regional connection. Very tasty selection. We were there a total of 4 times and were able to eat a lot of variety (especially seafood).

what a lovely find. we have driven past here many times.and not stopped. we decided to call and see if they did food which to our delight they did. service was amazing and couldn't do more, prompt efficient service. food was fresh and very tasty, plus quick service. definitely a good find and would return especially for the katsu and creme brulee!

Lovely, friendly pub to have a cosy pint or two after walking the coast path from St.Agnes to Porthtowan. Food looks great too though I've not eaten there. Have even bought a painting from the cubist artist who exhibits his work in the conservatory at the back. Well worth a visit if you are in the area and we always return when nearby.

We eat here often and always fantastic. Great food and atmosphere. Recommended.

Great local , serving good food and a welcoming atmosphere

kind chef, lovely landlords and staff, and absolutely delectable vegan and gluten free food - really recommend the grilled courgette ! 🥰 DELICIOUS

Fantastic little pub with all the expected charm. Food was amazing and the service matched. Also very dog friendly!

One of the best roasts I’ve had. Ample meat, piping hot, fresh veg, lush gravy and crispy spuds. Great atmosphere too ! Thankyou 🌻

Very friendly owner,great place for family gatherings. Also great for a few quiet pints while watching the rugby.

Great little pub down the road from are air BnB. Stopped a few times for drinks and food and made welcome each time. Food is great value for money and a good selection of ales.

Thank you so much to all the staff at The Victory Inn for such a fabulous evening last night. The Christmas menu we had booked for our girls night out was absolutely delicious, everyone loved their food so much and we all highly recommend booking this. The food was presented beautifully, cooked to perfection and huge portion’s. 10 out of 10 for the chef 😍 The pub had a lovely Christmas atmosphere and it was warm and cosy. 🌲🧑‍🎄❤️

Landed in the night before the Ireland and New Zealand played in the world cup. What a welcome. Great community involvement especially in rugby. They had the busiest night ever and sold out of Guinness. Great craic altogether. Much nourishment was gaining from the roast beef which can only be described as a banquet. Great staff who can go the distance. Cosy fire , can't wait to go back . Met some lovely people there in Cornwall, me ' ansome . Go raibh a míle maith agaibh.

Excellent food all round. Family had variety of dishes from fish and chips, vegetable Thai curry to sea bass to name a few. All perfectly cooked. Catered for the little ones too. Beer well kept. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely go back when visiting again.

Always welcoming. Awesome home style pub.

1st ever visit to his pub me and the wife were very very impressed.Will definitely call in again when down this way...

It was extremely busy that night due to a Live Band playing. Didn't eat there, so can't comment on the Food. Atmosphere was ok as the Theme was Halloween and Staff were dressed accordingly. Service wasn't too bad, as already said it was very busy.

Plesently surprised. Service food and comfort. 10/10

We stopped by on the off chance on the way back to our Air BnB, and although they weren’t serving food at the time, we we welcomed and told we could come back at 5.30/6ish. The service was great, the staff were super friendly and made us feel very relaxed and valued. The food was delicious. I had steak which was locally sourced. It was the nicest steak I have ever had, so tender and lean. The portion was huge too. My husband had fish and chips which he said was also delicious. I wasn’t blown away by the chocolate brownie, but it was still ok. The cheese cake was lovely though! Superb value for money - we will definitely visit again if ever we are passing. Thank you for a lovely evening Victory Inn!!

Very disappointed, ordered two steaks. The blue came out medium and the medium to rare came out well done. Was never asked if everything was okay. Was made to feel very unwelcome. Definitely won't be returning ever again

Great food and really dog friendly. After a walk around St Agnes Beacon a very enjoyable lunch was had.

Nice beer, nice food, nice staff. Went there twice on our stay nearby.

Watching C.B. Strike on television in California and noticed the pub in the background. After reading the reviews, comments, and responses, we can’t wait to stop by on our next visit to Cornwall. A Victory Inn can be seen in “Troubled Blood” (possibly Series 5 in the UK) of CB Strike. However, it might be another “Victory Inn” in Cornwall, perhaps in St. Mawes. I’m assuming that you are located in Truro. Please forgive any confusion. We spent a week of hiking in Cornwall and stayed in St. Ives.

We popped in here as a family of 6 plus a toddler. Didn't get to even sit down as we were told they were fully booked. Many empty tables and didn't feel welcome to stop for a drink. We left unable to try the food as other reviews looked really good. We won't try again while we are here.

We dropped in for our Sunday lunch while on holiday. The staff were most welcoming and friendly and our roast dinners were excellent and very good value. It was nice to be able to sit outside in the rear garden as it was a warm day. Overall it was a most enjoyable experience and I can heartily recommend the Victory Inn.

Good food at a fair price, friendly pub and friendly efficient service. Been twice and enjoyed both visits

We picked this place based on the reviews and it didn’t disappoint! Awesome location, friendly customers and the staff were very nice and warm! Held our baby as well!

Good Sunday roast with all the trimmings and nice beer garden.

Really cute, old pub. Great food, big portions. Staff is friendly. Really happy and recommend this place. Lovely beer garden, for those Sunny afternoon drinks!

Traditional pub with excellent beer garden serving a good variety of reasonably priced, well cooked food. The pie and the teriyaki chicken were great.

Sunday dinner THE BEST ! an excellent team,pub and even thier main menu is quality!! The chef is a quality one and their team too! Thank you Victory In

Good pub ,lovely food ,very freindly staff well worth a visit and a plus Porthtowan beach is 5 mins away

On our holiday to Porthtowen we were given the recommendation of going to the Victory Inn for a meal. We booked a table by calling them. On arrival we found the place was very busy, lots of locals and families on holiday. We were welcomed at the bar and taken to a side extension which was less busy and nice for us to eat. The lady went through the specials and menu, was so polite and friendly. We ordered amd the food came a short while later. Clearly home cooked, great taste, great portions and good value for money. Would definitely go back again. Recommended to all who visit and want to take their family for a nice quality pub meal.

Thanks for fitting out party in at very short notice as we are traveling back to Yorkshire this evening. This is the second time we dined here in the two weeks of holidaying in the area… both times the meals were well cooked and delicious… would definitely recommend this lovely country inn for a pint and meal.. see you next year

Friendly pub with great menu and specials. Good variety of drinks and nice beer garden. A stroll up sandy road from porthtowan and downhill on the way back!

Lovely pub with amazing food. We needed gluten free and there was a large selection to choose from. Food came quickly with huge portions. Staff very friendly. Dog friendly too. Nothing to not like . Get here if you can !!!

Good food good pub the only reason I gave three stars for atmosphere was the pub was full and we had to sit in the conservatory and we were the only two in there otherwise you have to try the food there

Had high hopes for a meal at this pub but very disappointed. A few things on the menu had run out so limited choice. Opted for the burger but after a few bites noticed it was rather pink. Spoke to the waitress and landlord who explained that the burger had some sort of tomato paste or flavouring which made it look reddish/pink but as I advised the landlord it looked undercooked and I couldn’t unsee that. He said that other customers had raised this too and that was how the chef prepared the burgers, but unfortunately not for me as it does look undercooked. To be fair, the landlord removed the charge from the bill and offered another meal or free pudding but by this time I just wanted to pay up and leave. I had booked another meal for next week but cancelled this immediately. Update : Following a response from owner regarding my review I would like to add that of the remaining menu available nothing took my fancy - I would have preferred to have the pie of the day but this was but unfortunately was sold out which is why I refused a replacement meal You also stated that the kitchen was due to close shortly, so not instilled with confidence that something would be rushed out. Also, it wasn’t 10 minutes after I was asked if everything was on that I came to see you. The first bite or two that I had taken didn’t seem as big a problem (although slightly pink) as the latter part when you had left. It was more pinkish at the point of reporting it to you and I had also asked my wife to look at it as she was sat closer to the window and in natural light. If that’s the way your chef prepares things then so be it but you also commented that other customers had raised this point as well. There was nothing else you could have done at the time as the dining experience was ruined for me, but removing the charge was appreciated. I’d like to think I give fair reviews but give us a chance to start to eat the meal. Just because someone nods their head or grunts with a mouth full of food doesn’t mean that things can’t deteriorate with a meal. As you’ll recall we also had another burger that my son had which was less pink/ better cooked than mine. He did however ask for no salad but was served the burger with a slice of beef tomato and he did mention this to you at the bar later, having disposed of the tomato in a side dish. Sometimes things don’t go to plan and you have to accept this. If your chef won’t change his preparations and you’re paying his wages and you’ve mentioned this to him previously then maybe time for a serious chat. Can’t see why tomato paste needs to be put into the burger pate anyway. It’s not as though these burgers are cheap. Please note that I’m not trying to do you a disservice, but this is based on my personal dining experience on the evening in question. I’m sure you’ve have many satisfied customers but the meal wasn’t up to standard for me, so much so, that I didn’t want to revisit for a previously book appointment. Thanks for taking the time to reply but maybe we’ll have to agree to disagree on the quality of this particular meal.

Disappointed after all the good reviews. Sunday evening and sold out of virtually everything so limited choice. Ordered burgers which were pink and were told they werent undercooked but had been made with tomato puree however didn’t want to take chance so didn’t eat it. To be fair they didn’t charge for meal but we just wanted to leave as felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. May be a great place for you but not for us

Friendly service, bit dark ,beautiful food ,good choice of food.

Had dinner here whilst on holiday with my family and my mum, all of us really enjoyed our meals and the whole experience. If you're in the area wholeheartedly recommend popping in for some food. Dog friendly too.

Really cute, old pub. Great food, big portions. Staff is friendly. Really happy and recommend this place!

Very nice pint of Tintagel beer. Very friendly staff and good food.

Great place to chill, eat, drink, be merry .... It looks quiet driving past a few times - but there was a good crowed of people in there. All friendly with space for all if us 👍

Quality staff great food. Dog friendly too🙂

'The best meal I've ever had in a pub' - Phil age 91 (he's eaten in a lot of pubs!) Took the family for Sunday lunch, vegetarian selection and the three meat option. A great variety of veg, loved the red cabbage and cauliflower cheese. Fabulous service from waiting staff and bar staff. Great selection of ales. Sat in the sunny garden for a while afterwards. Very pleasant and easy to park for Phil to access the level pub.

Great country pub, very accommodating. Food was really good and beer was kept exceptionally well. 👍

A proper character pub with a good selection of local ales and lovely home cooked food, the Sunday roast was delicious! We received a warm welcome from the staff and locals, and were able to stay overnight in our campervan at the field to the rear. Will definitely return.

An extremely popular place and you can tell why. The food was great. Decent selection and even allows small or large

A nice family and friendly place, everyone is made welcome

Lovely staff love all nice beer

Good Pub food, nicely cooked. Gluten free and Vegetarian and Vegan options available. Ample parking, flat level access to main indoor area.

Excellent Service for Food and Drinks, friendly atmosphere, Good choice for food.

Great food and service. Recommend.

There were 10 of us and tables had been arranged so we could sit together. Very friendly staff, excellent range of food which was well prepared and good quality. The curry, fish and chips and the Victory pie were thought excellent by those who had them.

Nice homemade food. Good choice on the menu. We had the beef curry which we recommend.

Lovely food, a warm welcome and a nice atmosphere. Thank you.

Sunday Lunch was great. Huge portion and reasonable price. Thought had been given to the vegetable dishes. Loads of meat and the vegetarian with us enjoyed the veggie roast alternative. The staff were super, busy but still friendly and everything was super. Thank you.

A terrific Sunday roast, with excellent service so pleased us that a 5 star review was a no brainer.

Op zondag middag rond half vier gestopt bij dit typisch dorpscafé voor een drankje en een hapje eten. Lekker gezellig druk maar toch was er een tafel beschikbaar. Op zondag konden we alleen Sunday roast bestellen. We namen een Sunday roast beef en een Sunday chicken. We hoefden niet erg lang te wachten voordat het warm werd opgediend. Het was verrassend lekker en erg veel. Nette bediening.

Couldn't cook chips and the burgers were just off pink, they did in there defence give us a free drink each for the inconvenience

Great place for food and friendly atmosphere

Popped in on a Sunday evening, no reservation but hoped despite the amount of people in there we would be able to have food. Had a table in a couple of minutes and our food arrived within 15. My roast was huge with a great...

Really friendly staff and very welcoming, thank you! Had a quick drink after visiting my mum down the road and still a nice atmosphere here after all these years :-)

Lovely bar staff, friendly and welcoming pub. Thank you for being so accommodating :-) Happy New Year!

Seemed like a decent pub. Provided a good spread for the wake I was there for

Nice meal here, mainly classic pub grub with a few extras. Nice staff and cosy fire. Dog friendly too.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch, best around!! Excellent service, delicious food and they even do a roast for dogs that made our Hector’s day! We only live down the road and are now kicking ourselves for not coming before but will deffo be regulars from now on… happy days.

Had Sunday roast very nice, friendly atmosphere, real ale selection...

Proper pub, with friendly staff and great food, reasonably priced

Superb and excellent value, dog friendly, atmospheric pub grub 😋

Had two meals here whilst on our holiday. Nice and friendly staff and a nice atmosphere too. The menu is has a good selection and the food is good. Decent sized portions. There is parking at the back. No requirement to book, has a nice...

Excellent atmosphere and food. Great value tasty food 😋

Lovely pub with cosy atmosphere . We had a fantastic home cooked meal and fresh prepared vegetables. Staff very friendly and accommodating . Victory pie was absolutely delicious and definitely be back again . Highly Recommended 10/10 Fantastic Steak and Guinness Pie too. Update Had various meals since in last 5 years and always great range of food and great food and staff.

Lovely Sunday lunch, as always!

In August 2022 I visited at lunch time and had a thoroughly good meat and good experience, however tonight my hubby and myself visited and had a thoroughly bad experience. Food was great but the bad language we couldnt help but overhear by three guys...

Be aware, portions are large. Wife had sausage and mash, it would have fed two of us. Lovely gravy Really friendly staff and very welcoming, made a big fuss of our dog

Excellent food and service. Ate twice during our stay. No phone signal where we stayed so did all booking on Facebook and was really looked after. Proper pub.

Another excellent meal at the victory.

Writing this review having just returned from a very odd evening meal at the victory inn. Holidaying in porthtowan we decided to try here based on the good reviews. Wow, very disappointed. It felt like we had stumbled into someone’s front room almost. Place was...

Very enjoyable visit ,friendly staff ,food was suburb, freshly cooked no waiting ages and came to the table piping hot and reasonably priced

The service and food were fantastic. Be aware they serve large portions!!! Staff very bubbly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

I am ashamed to say we have been passing the Victory for more than 2 decade saying we must go in for a drink or something to eat. Well today we finally took the plunge. Firstly what super friendly staff they were amazing and helpful. Then the food was excellent it was like pubs used to be before all the tv chefs bought them all. Ham egg and chips who could argue with that for tea or large scampi and chips washed down with a few drinks. And its also nice to see a good old sunday roast on the menu and roast meat sandwiches to boot if you dont want a full roast. Im licking my lips already in anticipation of our return.

We had a delicious roast dinner, steak for my daughter and kids meals and it was delicious, a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. We look forward to visiting again when we are next in the area

Foos & service very impressive. Sunday roast was great, a must if you are in the area. Very friendly staff. The landlady is a personality on her, easy to talk to. Visit if you can.

Welcoming atmosphere and good country pub dining. I highly recommend trying the Sunday roast which is excellent.

Nice place to pop into, nice staff and large outside garden seating area.
