Helen Iwanczuk A tourist trap | ||
| Port Issac as everyone knows, is the filming location of the TV series Doc Martin. The pub is known as The Crab and Lobster in the show. I have never really seen the series, so I hadn't any expectations. The interior is compact at ground floor level, but I believe there is more seating upstairs. The pub has character, but in an understated way. As one would expect, there are a number of St Austall ales available, my partner had the Hicks which was fine. The Golden Lion has some of the best views of Port Issac harbour. We sat and admired the view, and were given a birds eye view of some feeding seagulls! | ||

| Quite possible the most rancid place on earth. Filthy and full of underage drinkers. The landlady allows people on the pub watch list to continue to drink in there. Avoid this place at all costs | ||

One of the staff were very rude to a gentleman on the next table slamming down his food. the portions have all been made smaller and prices have gone up , chips were anemic and raw in parts usually go there all the time but will never be going back tables are lower than the chairs came out with sore backs didn't have starter and left after our mains as we were so unhappy with the service and food | ||

| Seen it all .. yesterday afternoon two locals started an argument over who was first in the food que started pushing each over eventually it calmed down and the bigger guy let the smaller one go first. But when he took the last pasty the bigger guy pinched his pasty andcthen sparked him out and just walked out calm as you like. one rough pub one rough town one shit hole. | ||

Brian fantastic beer! Great bands | ||
| As a regular, i was suprised to see the comment from Sedrick? It does not sound like the pub I know. Until i found out it was a nom de plume for a dismissed member of staff. (that also explains the mis-spelling of cedric) The hilarious thing is that there was only ever any shortages when she was in charge and they still use the decent bands she booked. The Queens has always had great bands! The poor landlord (and the new bar manager) would be devastated if he read that review and I have never found him to be anything other than a charming and amiable man. The beer quality has improved since the said bar managers dismissal and I believe it has cask mark accreditation. | ||

Laura Beesley & Martin Corr Absolutely disgusting | ||
| We booked in for one night and was put off the second we were lead upstairs to our room. The bathroom was the worst we had ever seen, mould around the bath, pure filth. The room initially smelt of fish, the window we did not want to touch, the curtains were black and hard and the bed was awful. We even slept in our clothes and didn't dare take our shoes off. We left an hour earlier than we planned so that we could have a wash in McDonalds as we could not bear to go in the bathroom. Woukd not recommend to ANYONE. We wouldn't even let our dog sleep in there. And to think we paid £50 for this... DISGUSTING. | ||

Debra Pilmer Gluten Free Sunday roast | ||
| A group of six of us had Sunday lunch on 25th April 2010. The staff were very professional and pleasant. The Inn is full of character and very clean. We ate delicious very reasonably priced meals. I requested gluten free and was served a delicious pear and stilton salad for starter and a lovely roast lamb main course with gluten free gravy. There was a Jazz band playing and the local people were extremely friendly. If i lived nearer i would go there every Sunday lunchtime. | ||

Elizabeth Williams Fantastic pub, atmosphere, really friendly | ||
| Very well run by landlord Jonathan and his attractive sister Jenny. Well trained staff, great food, lots of it locally sourced. A very traditiona pub with lots of note worthy artifacts. One of the oldest and under Jonathan's management, now one of the best in Falmouth. It's so easy to spend time enjoying the views from a seat on the quay, with a real ale or a cream tea! Just Brilliant! | ||

| We booked in for two nights and though the pub seemed very nice, my pregnant partner was leered at the moment we walked in the door. The room was draughty, the bathroom was disgusting, the matress was cheap and uncomfortable, the window was jammed open and the breakfast was greasy and horrible. This place does not come recommended by us. | ||

Paul Rodd Best Pub Food We've ever had | ||
| A hidden gem away from the town centre just over the river. Very traditional and by far the best pub food both me and my wife have ever had. We llive in Gloucester surrounded by some great establishments but this was something else. I don't usually write reviews but feel this pub definitely deserves a mention. When was the last time you went out and had real homemade chips and real roast potatoes with your sunday lunch? Well if you can't remember and your ever in Lostwithiel then you have to try the food here - you won't be dissappointed - Paul and Irene | ||

The bar staff are really entertaining, especially at weekends and there is music with Dj Samo, a renowned local talent. The food is awesome - in fact, its one of bude's best kept secrets. Go there for the home made burgers ! They are quite strict on ID so if you look young, take some ID with you, or you'll miss out on a great night. A fantastic place to go! | ||

Kriss Westwood FANBLOODYTASTIC !!! | ||
| Despite being a Cornishman born around Pentire who now has to work in London, this place has been my local since I was about twenty after the Red Lion was modernised in Newquay. I always come here on my first evening back to my home county to soak out the smog & stress of the countries capital. The atmosphere is friendly with a relaxed vibe around the place which is always helped with live music at weekends and special days like Christmas Eve if they don't fall on a weekend. New Years Eve is another cracker. Food is superb, lots of it & your never kept waiting long after you've ordered. The bar has a large variety of drinks with spirts & larger but on the ale side they need more variety than Mr Skinners Heligans Honey and Cornish Knocker. I particularly miss Iced Blonde that they use to serve but all they need to do is add a few more of Mr Skinners range !!! Sunsets & views are just magical with a large outdoor area which is great for those hot summer evenings. The only downside are the groups of snobs or second home owners (often this is persons who come into both catagories !!!) who have a huge stick up their backsides as they view everyone else with contempt as they think this pub is for them & them alone !!! Aside from that, I've never seen a row or fight in the place & when I die this will be my heaven !!! | ||

Ian Spencer-Brown Some improvement required | ||
| Excellent view, fast service. Haddock with pesto:- limp and soggy: salad resonable, but not crisp,and unimaginative, no pesto detected. Bread was underdone and floppy. My wife was unwell for the rest of the afternoon. Fish and chips, I would have thought that it was hard to get this wrong but................. The fish in batter was utterly tasteless and soggy, there was so much food, that it was impossible to eat without spilling food from the plate, and I given the wrog peas after making a point the the waitress about mushy peas Altogether the meal was a disaster, and if this is the standard of food that cruise ships can expect your establishment will probably ruin their vist to Cornwall. Lasty, the cost was set for clients to expect a very much higher standard of food, and presentation than was evident | ||

Mr.Cheeseman One of the better pubs in camborne | ||
| Has two Bars which are separated by a corridor. One Bar tends to be favoured by the younger generation, the other by those looking for somewhere to eat. Food is good for the price. If you are a visitor to Camborne, a good pub to visit. | ||

Mr.Cheeseman Traditional village pub, still a free house | ||
| Some pubs have still not been touched by Brewey makeovers. This is one of them. If you like Darts,pool, Euchre and Quizzes come here. Although populated mainly by locals, visitors are made to feel welcome. At the moment, no food is served here. | ||

Katrina Lavelle-Counsell Great place to stay good atmosphere good location | ||
| We have stayed at the Galleon Inn a few times. Although a busy Inn it is very relaxing because of the location by the estuary. We also book the front facing room which is airey and spacious. Breakfasts are especially good. Meals are inexpensive. Recommend the Sunday Jazz-lunch place is really buzzing. Staff are very friendly. Great place just to chill out | ||

Will Brilliant Pub | ||
| While not a big pub the Rising Sun, has more charcacture than most of the pub chain inns put together. Great range of beers including local Skinner's. Wonderful selections of homecooked foods, with a special menu containing local products and fish dishes. The whole area of Kingsand is a place I would recommend anyone to visit, but especially The Rising Sun. | ||

Andrew Holland The world in a pub | ||
| Oh, hello. Welcome to the profile of The Cecil Arms, surely the finest watering hole this side of Cleethorpes. Visit this pub to enjoy a vast array of fun-filled activities, including darts, Dave-baiting, moustache-tickling, euchre, and Foss-Foss-sampling. Gaze upon 'The Grinch' - Dr Zeuss' vision alive in one regular. Or 'Best-loving Pete', recently voted No.#1 guy ever in a poll in Bunty. But look out for the 'Foss-suppers' sat at the bar, legend has it they are wild on creamy pint of Amber juice. Why don't you come along and join the party? P.S. Bring your darts. | ||

Colin Bull Best pint in Cornwall ? | ||
| This pub is tucked away in a lovely village, and in my mind , their Betty Stoggs is the best pint you can find in Cornwall, On the second visit they had the Morris men and we we had to pay £1 a pint while we listened to the music, Life is hard sometimes. Food is good, but opening hours are limited. Well worth finding. ( on the side road betwen Torpoint amd Millbrook) | ||

| A home when I needed one. Sit and lose yourself in thought or join in with the regulars. I joined the darts team after 15 minutes of walking through the door and got looked after by One and All for my three year stay in Cornwall. I know that even now I would get a welcome reserved for the prodigal son. | ||
