The best restaurants in Lostwithiel Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

This hotel has no bar.. there is no alcohol available due to religious reasons.. if you fancy a drink with your meal then don’t come here..

4 of us turned up on the off chance of getting a table for food and drinks. We were greeted and told we’d be accommodated. A lovely table overlooking the estuary. We had a sharing board of chicken, pork and beef cauliflower cheese, veg and a mammoth Yorkshire pudding. I’m not sure I can find the words to describe how the meat just melted in my mouth and so full of taste. The cauliflower cheese tasted fresh and full of flavour. Nothing was too much trouble. When we asked for more gravy it came straight out. A lovely meal, friendly welcoming staff. We will be back.

A very pleasant afternoon coffee and cake, in a very relaxed environment, a nice end to our visit to the well stocked nursery and garden centre. We found a variety of Daphne we have long been looking for. Very helpful and friendky staff. We look forward to our next visit.

Such a warm inviting pub. The atmosphere here is incredible, such lovely attentive staff that go to extreme lengths to make your visit amazing. The Sunday roast is to die for delicious meat and a nice choice of veggies. Have been a handful of times and the entertainment is well enjoyed under their beautiful outside space. You will not be disappointed!

The food here is always spot on. Fresh, hot and extremely tasty! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Lostwithiel or close by.

Probably the worst pub food I’ve ever eaten in my life, and I’ve had a few! Apparently, the chef had to leave at short notice, which should have sounded alarm bells, but, being typically British, we didn’t want to get up and leave having already said we wanted food! The lady behind the bar was a customer, who had only popped in for a drink, but she had a streaming cold, literally dripping from her nose, and we didn’t see her washing her hands once! We ordered two lasagnas and two cottage pies, which were probably microwave heated Tesco value meals, with tinned peas and cold chips! The only positive being, that we ended up laughing at just how terrible this experience was! In comparison, we ate at The Globe on our first night in Lostwithiel, then at Sunny Spice (Indian) the following night, both being delicious in comparison…

Great little venue for light lunch and a beer! Mainly outdoor seating at present, but plenty of umbrellas and indoor area for shade or keeping dry. Easy access from water using hire boats, canoes etc for visitors - worth a visit, but don’t expect ‘fine dining’ choices - good basic stuff! Rob and Sue + staff very welcoming. Lots of boat activity from dinghies to small cargo ships to watch.

Great greeting, led to lovely seats to wait and wait and wait. No, they were not busy. The waitress who presumably was allocated to our area took three customers ahead of us who came in after. The last straw was when she looked at us then went and leaned on the counter before chatting to another customer. It was obvious we had not been attended to, our menus were clearly visible on the tables, they were removed when orders were taken. What should have been a lovely treat, prices were high, became a disappointing waste of time. We walked out. There are many tea shops around, better value and with fab friendly service

Had a lovely nights stay with breakfast & Sunday lunch. Really beautiful room comfortable bed, lovely coffee machine, views. Friendly staff. Food lovely too. Definitely be back !

Just got home from the best and the biggest pub Sunday roast ever!!! Everything was really well cooked, loads of gravy, great array of vegetables including cauli cheese. Brilliant value. Highly recommend! thanks all ! x

We only went for drinks but enjoyed the authentic atmosphere, friendly welcome and roaring log fire.

Stopped in the stores for a flat white and brownie and both very nice. Very helpful server who also gave us directions to Tivoli Fountain and gardens. Beautiful, peaceful waterside village with picnic table and FREE parking. That's a first for Cornwall.

Excellent home cooked Sunday lunch, very reasonably priced with a friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Thank you

Very disappointing. Ordered 2 meals both of which we had to complain about. The manager (who actually wasn’t the manager but the managers partner) was very argumentative and rude. He agreed to refund 1 meal as it was completely the wrong thing but argued about my meal and then proceeded to remind us that we were in a pub not a restaurant - said it all really. We left with very bad feeling and would never go back. Such a shame when they have a captive audience in the village. Zero customer service, maybe because we’re not locals but actually if things had been better we’d have eaten in there every night.

Flaky cod and crispy batter. Enjoyed by river with bottle of wine from next door - best summer day every year for 20 years!
