Wilcove Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great home made food good choice of drinks really friendly helpful staff

Just back from a stay over .found this little pub serving great food .with a loverly view .prices very reasonable.

Lovely quiet location. Rooms clean. Breakfast could have been hotter

Good food and drink. Nice out of the way pub.

Three of us visited for lunch and made an online booking which was confirmed by email but when we called to say we were running late, no booking could be found. Plenty of space though so no problems. The food was good and reasonably priced. Weather was nice so we sat in the garden enjoying the view. The only reason for not giving The Wilcove Inn a full 5 stars is the staff behind the bar seemed more interested in chatting between themselves and looking at their phones than serving customers or clearing tables. It may have been a quiet Tues lunch but our visit didn't feel that welcoming.

Lovely day, my son and I decided to paddle to the pub - dragged the kayak out and pulled it along the road 50 meters or so to the pub - utterly minging stinking grey water run off just outside the pub. Might not be coming from the pub but you need to lead the way in Sorting it out, and if that’s a daily jet wash, then, get on with it. We wanted to eat outside in the sun but had to contend with the smell. Food and drink were fine.

Went there on 8th August with family and had a lovely meal. Highlights were fish and chips, steak and ale pie (homemade) and the pear and walnut salad. They also said that the mac and cheese was the best they have tasted (and they are from Texas!) Highly recommend this place. Staff friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.

Stayed here and they were faultless, even when I accidentally forgot my kindle. Food was excellent and plentiful. A tranquil slice of heaven when attending POP

Great outside space by the estuary

Excellent food, especially the desserts, there were 11 of us, and all the meals came together and nice and hot. Friendly service and a cosy pub,

We had the beautiful crab brûlée for starters. And then we all ordered the fish and chips with minted peas. This was fabulous. The staff were lovely and friendly. What a wonderful place to visit and enjoy a relaxing meal.

Wonderful service and food there were 10 in our group we pre ordered the food and it was all delivered hot and at the same time, cannot fault anything

Wednesday lunch time .can't fault anything. Staff and food was great .I had fish and chips perfect ,partner had the pie of the day very nice.

We went there for lunch, very welcoming, good choice of menu, I had a bit of problem with my meal but rectified instantly, very professional. I would definitely return there, didn't know they had rooms the location is so lovely I would love to stay.

Went for Sunday roast, beef was excellent veg and roast potatoes were good. Would return. Only downside was the weak gravy and horseradish was not the best.

Sunday Lunch on the front veranda under the awning. Three adults and a large puppy. Table booked online the Saturday evening with ease. Thankfully the tide was out and there was plenty of parking space at this rural location across the Tamar from Devonport dockyard. Local Ale was perfect, Fish n Chips was excellent. Beef Roast dinners were thick and wholesome. Everybody made a fuss of our friendly hound who enjoyed his own dinner too. Excellent customer experience. Quality staff team.

Staff are always brilliant, cod is always fresh, the portion is always big and tastes delicious! Love eating and or drinking here. The view is also brilliant at high tide

Fantastic food, good beers and lovely staff

Went there only for a snack lunch after visiting nearby Anthony House. After seeing the menu all 4 of us went for Sunday Roast which turned out to be a brilliant choice. Well worth the money. Definitely go again and definitely recommend. We were lucky at the time we visited but I would certainly book to avoid disappointment.

Lovely stay, great food, wonderful view. Shame more people don’t know about it.

Knew about this pub but never visited until yesterday. Called in on a chance visit just for a snack & coffee, we all ended up having a full Sunday roast which was excellent. Will definitely be putting this venue on our favourites list. Absolute brilliant setting too.

Nice pub great location....good selection of ales and ciders.... excellent food. 😁

Lovely meals in a lovely location. Friendly staff.

Great food and drink. Service from staff very friendly and non obtrusive. Was cool so although ate out in garden when sun was out, moved inside

Been to this pub before a couple of times, always had a nice meal, however today 18th May 2024. The meal we had was awful, my husband and mother in law both had Haddock chips and mushy peas, I had chicken strips and cheesy chips. My chicken strips were like rubber the batter was hard and over cooked, chips were over cooked and soggy so obviously had been left to sit for ages, hubby’s fish was thin and over cooked as was mother in law’s who also said chips were over done and soggy, Very disappointed over all.

Stayed here over the weekend and had a fantastic time. The rooms are spacious and airy and also overlook the riverfront. The downstairs eating place/pub is quite cosy as well and the service there was prompt, courteous and professional.

Lovely pub near the beautiful river tamer

Amazing location and fantastic, good value food. If you haven't been, you should.

Sweet little spot on the Tamar. Great views from the garden area. Really nice staff who enjoy their roles.

Awful, not the usual service. Really horrible fish and chips x3. Not even an offer of money off. As locals will not be recommending at the mo!

Lovely inn with a nice view, helpful staff and quality food. A must visit for all...

Great location on a sunny Sunday and great staff with of course fantastic Sunday roast. 😋😋

Great cozy pub with friendly staff, wonderful food.

Really good stay, rooms and view great staff really friendly and food fresh and tasty.

Lovely pub looking over the water to Plymouth docks

What a lovely find. Off the beaten track, with a small parking area set in a very quiet cove. Great food, well cooked, and good-sized portions, too. The liver dish was wonderful. Fish and Chips looked great also. Shall be returning for sure.

Great little pub, with lovely staff. ☆☆☆☆☆

We had Sunday lunch here and it was delicious, I had the apricot and goats cheese nut roast which was amazing, someone else had the lamb, mint, pea and asparagus pie and the others had the brisket roast. None of us regretted getting what we ordered, the portions were very generous and they cater well to gf and veggie/vegan. Lovely atmosphere and very kind staff. Dogs allowed too which was great. Highly recommend

Don't know when the 'great food,'reviewers went to the wilcove, but I had dark, warmed up limp chips, which were luke warm. The fish was warm but l guessed had been twice fried, so it was like mush. Not impressed at all, won't go back.

Lovely village pub on the side of an estuary, prices are reasonable, staff are very friendly,

Had a lovely meal with my wife. The place is dog friendly too. Good range of well kept beers.

We stayed at the Wilcove Inn for our sons passing out parade from HMS Raleigh (5 mins away). The stay was excellent the room was cosy, the staff couldn't do enough for us, including putting an extra bed in our room at very little extra cost. We eat at the Inn both nights of our stay as the food was excellent both price and quality and breakfast was lovely. I'd like to say a massive thank you to Gemma and the team can't wait to return in July. Thank you.

Went for lunch today. Lovely food and very reasonable on price. The staff very friendly and attentive We will certainly be coming again

A great location with excellent food. Staff are very welcoming

Lovely welcoming staff, good food.

Fantastic food, amazing menu, everyone on the table could find much that they would have loved. Really nice people, amazing deserts. A proper gem.

Just popped in for a drink. Very reasonable prices. Too cold to sit outside,plenty of seating if you wanted too. Toilets very clean.

Lovely warm greeting by staff Xmas tree and decorations lovely xxlocation good too

Food and staff are great, just watch out when the tide comes in, you might get wet feet getting back into your car!!

Revisit after 41 years! Still a beautiful setting, warm welcome, good beer and food.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Right on the river, at high ride it's absolutely beautiful

Food was very good and so was service.

Lovely meal from the new autumn menu.

Having previously had a fantastic meal at Wilcove we thought we would return this evening for a special celebration. There was 3 couples so therefore not a busy evening, however the food was appalling served on cold plates, the fish pie was over baked in a small broth bowl the potato was glopped and only 2 small pieces of fish the size of a finger nail with limp frozen veg and anaemic garlic slice. The chips arrived in cold plates and the cheese couldn’t melt on top as the chips were cold. However the fish my husband had was tasty the chips were also cold. The macaroni cheese was basic but hot in temp. Unfortunately the back room where we sat had flies that were landing on the food before you had chance to have a mouthful. Not sure what has gone wrong with this place or/if we were just unlucky this evening 18/09/2023 and maybe the chef was having a bad day or day off? The young lady that served us was very pleasant and it’s a shame she was left to deal with the inconsistencies from the chef.

Great food served by attentive staff. Superb Riverside location.

Excellent friendly service and great location 👍🏻

Beautiful pub. Lovely food. 😍 have been before will definitely go again .

Such a stunning little place. This place is a gem. Perfect setting for a relaxing drink or meal

Friendly and comfortable pub and the food was great the ribs are amazing worth a visit for sure

Only ate here delicious food beautiful location lovely staff well worth a visit my second but not my last!

This place is not to be missed. It is a beautiful quiet location and has a nice cosy feeling. The whole setting is breathtaking and the views from the pub and beer garden is amazing. Massive carpark. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Good selection of drinks and the food is top notch. Always impressed when we visit.

Great service, fantastic food very friendly welcoming staff. Will visit again

Delicious evening meal in a very pleasant location.

Great little pub tucked away close to the water. Pub food done well.

Very nice pub bedrooms very spacious location is the best would stay again

Very quite and lovely place to visit.

Pleasantly surprised. Had a drink outside and enjoyed looking across the river. Went for Sunday lunch and it was well cooked and tasty. I wish I'd had the children's portion of chicken dinner as my sister did. I had the pork and it was big. Pork, apple sauce, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, broccoli, red cabbage. My husband had the veg curry and was impressed. The raspberry chocolate cheesecake went down well too, as did apple crumble and custard. Good staff, nice atmosphere, and our favourite Picpoul wine.

Visited recently, had Tribute Battered Haddock, Chips, Mushy Peas, Tartar Sauce & Lemon Wedge. All very delicious & well presented. (Peas had gone cold which chose not to say, as relative & I were hungry. Know venue well enough that this would've been satisfactorily remedied had I mentioned it.) Relative had Hake fillet on a salad of warm new potatoes, tomatoes, peppers & red pesto, which thoroughly enjoyed. Had sticky toffee pudding & custard served with raspberry on top. Very light pudding, served piping hot with both toffee sauce & custard; a truly indulgent yet pleasurable end to a super lunch, during one of Summer's many heavy showers. Finished with Americano served with hot milk. Highly recommend as always, although should book if going for evening meal, as venue often busy. Visited Wilcove Inn for evening meal, having reserved table. (Before entering Inn, took a little time to take in breathtaking view of water as tide was in & quite high. Noticed a small boat had partially capsized & was sinking into the sea.) Had king prawn korma curry, served with nann bread, fragrant rice & poppadom, truly delicious. Had to wait a little while for food as venue was busy. Unfortunately another table in front of us, who's pet dog was sick all over floor, conveniently ignored incident, leaving without any attempt to clean up mess or alert staff, knowing other customers were eating their meals. Disgraceful group of male customers who should be ashamed of themselves for total lack of responsibility!! Really great pub /restaurant set in beautiful area on rivers edge in Wilcove. Indoor & outdoor seating available (advisable to book if eating in). Eaten here many times & never been disappointed. Staff lovely & interior rustically tasteful. (The recent Halloween theme was wonderfully adopted & much effort taken - well done all 🎃👻🍬🎃). If sitting outside in pretty beer garden overlooking water's edge, one can benefit from all nature's gems, both for it's many birds & surrounding trees. Equally pleasant are the variable boats & sometimes ships which can be spotted far ahead on the Tamar, it's truly picturesque. Parking available although country lane leading down to pub narrow so should be prepared to reverse if needed; both courtesy /respect should be shown to others, as frequent walkers use this route too. (Will take photo on next visit & add to post).

We love this place. Perfect location and great delicious menu.

Really nice little pub, good range of beers and serves really good food. Efficient polite staff, gets very busy so would recommend booking. There is a very pleasant garden especially when the tide is in. They have a reasonable size car park opposite the pub . It is well worth seeking out this place it is in the back end of nowhere which is what makes it so charming. It hasn’t been over commercialised yet, please don’t change a thing.

Love this place!!.. great food, great atmosphere and lovely setting!.. I've known about it for years!.. and just discovered it again!!.. I can't comment on the rooms, as I haven't stayed, but I'm sure it's worth a stay with Fabulous views!!.X

It was our first visit and it will not be the last. Excellent location, friendly and efficient staff and very good food. Will definitely recommend to friends.

Fantastic room service, Great location

Really nice pub. Had a lovely tasty meal. Staff very good.

Old style pub/restaurant. Lovely views across the water.

Very warm welcome and great service.

A true locals treasure, off the beaten track but has really tasty food serviced up with a friendly smile 😃.

Lovely quiet stay at the Wilcove Inn. The rooms were so comfortable with lovely views. The service we received from the staff was fantastic. Thank you to all at the Wilcove Inn for making our stay so welcoming.

Really nice village pub in a stunning riverside location, food comes highly recommended. A real hidden gem

The meal was fantastic and tasty and staff was very polite will definitely be eating there again.

Stopped off for Sunday dinner we both had Slow Roasted Brisket of Beef it's probably THE best dinner we have had. Staff a lovely. Nice atmosphere. Outside the pub is a lovely seating area over looking the water. Highly recommended

Overnight accommodation - lovely clean room and en suite facilities.

After what was quite a challenging weekend we came down to stay at the Wilcove Inn for a two night stay. The hosts were amazing, we ended up eating there for all meals, breakfast lunch and dinner. Food was 5*+ although our performance in the Tuesday evening quiz was below par, the service was far from the opposite. They accommodated all our needs, the great thing was how they welcomed our dog to the venue, the bathroom and room was stunning, and we were given expert advice on local towns and spots to visit. You can also fish off the jetty next door with beautiful views. We will 100% come back and thanks again to the lovely team that looked after us.

Lovely pub grub all freshly cooked. Nice position on the Tamar estuary (best when tide is in). Very dog friendly. Staff super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Had a couple of drinks at the picturesque location pub by the water. Very nice great place food looks excellent

Lovely stay ,excellent food. Very friendly.

Fantastic pub with great food and really friendly staff even made friends with a cat! The garden overlooks the naval dockyard at Plymouth across the Tamar. Wonderful place to sit and enjoy the sun, view and hospitality!! We will definitely be back 🥰

Really enjoyable evening spent in this cosy pub with good beers and great food

Not been to the wilcove inn for 20 years. The food was amazing. Lovely weather for eating outside. Will definitely visit again

What a find this little pub is! They have two rooms, which are spacious and each has an ensuite bath \ shower. Such a delight to soak for a while in the bath after a day walking the coast path. Good food, too and the breakfast (extra) was great. A really romantic setting right by the water. Absolutely recommended.

Lovely place great food and good selection of drinks love going here.

Charming pub with friendly staff and great selection of food and drink. We were a large party for a wake, the pub laid on a decent buffet and looked after us really well.

Quick stop at this nice little village pub for a pint. Great views and good atmosphere. Will definitely be going again!

Super pub great service food fab great location 6 stars would be nice to give but can't..... 👍👍👍👍👍👍

A wonderful pub within a lovely setting overlooking the River Tamar. Friendly, helpful staff and gorgeous food, accompanied by a pint of Rattler! We came slightly out of season, but will definitely return to sit outside next to the river, during the summer months. Cosy Log burner and a slight vintage feel to the decor made this the perfect evening for us. A must visit if you are in the Millbrook/Antony/Torpoint areas!

Cracking little pub with great rooms great service 🙂 good rooms

Great pub with a good selection of ales. Great outside space with lovely views across the river. Food is available, but I didn't take advantage of it, I was just thirsty.

Very nice pub and restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, tasty food and great beer. Reasonable prices too. The staff and service were very good. I had fish and chips and it was excellent.

Wonderful food in a great location
