The best restaurants in St Germans Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Great local pub with cosy atmosphere. Excellent friendly staff and brilliant food at a good price. Good location. Pool table Dart board fantastic range of local ales

This isn’t my first visit to the wonderful Rod and Line, and it won’t be our last. The staff are beyond friendly, they were so kind and welcoming to our dog too. The pub is cosy and atmospheric. The fresh crab was exceptional, the food came quickly and we couldn’t fault our experience. They fitted us in last minute on a Sunday for lunch and I’m so happy they did. I don’t usually write reviews but felt compelled to on this occasion. Thank you Rod and Line :)

Having not visited for 15 or more years, we decided a visit was long overdue and it fitted in perfectly with our plans for the day. In fact it was a perfect ending to a great day out. We were greeted by the owner and staff in a friendly way and had the choice of tables. A cosy table adjacent the disused ornate waterwheel and associated mechanism was tucked away in the corner and was great for conversation. The staff were very attentive and the quality of the food was excellent. Portion sizes were great. A good choice of menu options. Had such a lovely meal, we booked again for three weeks time!

Beware the parking! We had Christmas dinner in December. Just received a parking fine of £25 for staying longer than 2 hours. How are you supposed to enjoy a 3 course Christmas meal in 2 hours. Very, very unfair. I will never come here again. The food was excellent but who is training the serving staff? The bar tender was throwing bottles in the bin from a distance which made you jump every time he did it. The tables were cleared before everyone had finished. This would never be done in a real restaurant. My friends saucer was whipped away while she was sipping her coffee. There was no sherry, no port, the Madeira was served as a tot in a tot glass. When we have been before there was a supervisor hovering and checking on the staff. I know this is a training restaurant and we all understand that the students are learning but these are basics that should be explained the first week.

1st time coming here staff were very helpful and polite. It's great that they have a separate gluten free &vegetarian/vegan menu .my son can't have gluten or dairy and the waitress sorted out something that was suitable for my son .the food was lovely. The atmosphere was nice chilled and relaxing. I'm also a crutches user and there was a ramp for me to go up to get in and a fully equipped disabled toilet on ground floor. Also tables spread out so if crutches user or wheelchair you can get around easily. Definitely come here again

Been staying at Port Elliot Estate for weekend so popped in for takeaway on Friday evening, between 6 of us we had the Cod , Chips & peas, chicken burger and the Scholars burger and all where fantastic. On the strength of the takeaway we booked for the Sunday Carvery, well what can I say ,Service was spot on the carvery was absolutely superb and chef Andy dished it beautifully and exp,aimed how he had cooked each the green and with what ingredients. All in all first class service, first class food but all at a price that surprised even us Cornishmen, fantastic value for money. Well done team Scholars.

What a lovely atmosphere, great menu at a good price and the staff were fabulous. Helpful from the moment I entered with my elderly Mum. We enjoyed a fab meal and dessert followed by a cuppa. Thank you for making our visit so memorable.

Booked a three course Christmas lunch for a group of twenty friends. The pub is welcoming and cosy and all the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s not always easy to serve larger groups in a timely manner but we could not fault the service or quality, everyone had a great time and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend The Weary Friar.

Great place.. good food. very attentive staff. busy restaurant, bright and noisy chatter,

Eight of us including children went for a birthday dinner yesterday, the day after Boxing Day, and had the absolutely best meal. The pub was busy with a great atmosphere which we weren't expecting straight after Christmas when things can be much quieter. The chef is to be recommended and we will definitely return. In a bit of a good food wilderness, this pub stands out!

Tasty breakfast just what the Dr ordered. Friendly staff and very welcoming. Definitely worth a try guys, won’t be disappointed.

Food was reasonably good when it finally arrived. Clearly at the time (half term), for some reason too few staff were on. Maybe just a one-off issue, even though it wasn't too busy, we waited most of an hour to be served. It was cold in there too. When fully staffed I'm sure it would be excellent. Great location overall, but with a very muddy sloping car park - one of our group had difficulty getting out. It feels as though it's a place in the early stages of development. I would certainly go back and I wish them well in the venture.

Nos dimos el capricho dos veces en noviembre para el almuerzo del domingo en el Sail Loft Suite y disfrutamos de ambas visitas muchísimo. una excelente comida de asado, homestyle fresca cocina sin el trabajo! Uno de los domingos, el chef siempre estaba enfermo y uno de sus colaboradores y produjo un super comida, así que mis felicitaciones a todo el equipo! Es estupendo tener un día de cocinar y todavía tienen una comida casera, con carne y vegetales frescos en un lugar muy agradable. Estamos teniendo una cena de cumpleaños para nuestro hijo un domingo en diciembre, así que esperamos que también.

Ordered a takeaway for delivery despite the poor reviews of late - came ahead of schedule and everything we had was hot and very tasty not one thing we could complain about - vey good food

We are locals and members of the golf and leisure club, we had not tried the restaurant for several years - for many reasons. We had a very enjoyable meal last night, I had an excellent steak and my wife had fish. We had three courses and coffee plus two rounds of drinks. The restaurant was very busy mostly with golfing groups and while they were not quiet they certainly helped create a good lively atmosphere. Despite being so busy the staff were very efficient and the service was quick. To be frank - one reason we had not been back for a while was because they food seemed ordinary at a high price, but this time it was much better. I believe they have a new chef. It is not cheap, but equally I don't think it was too expensive for good quality service and food at a higher end holiday resort. For those thinking of staying in the hotel, add in two excellent golf courses!
