We popped in for a drink one night, as we were planning on coming back there for a meal at some point. I had been there before, but never really taken a proper look at the menu. I love this little pub, the atmosphere is good, real cosy, and has a lovely garden out the back (shame we came when... More

Quiz Night was fun on Monday night but our favourite was Acoustic Night on Tuesday - So much talent in that pub - it was fantastic... More

We chose to stay at The Engine Inn over two nights to visit Cornwall, and to celebrate my partner's birthday (30/31 August). Ample parking is across the road, but the owner said we could park at the side of the inn if we wanted to "make it easier" for us, which was the first sign that this was a really... More

What a welcome we received on arrival from both staff and 'regulars'!! There was a buzz to this place and clearly it is a very popular venue in which to eat and drink. Our twin room in the 2 bedroom stone outhouse, was on the ground floor. Whilst thoughtfully equipped for disabled guests, this certainly did not detract from our... More

My husband and I stayed at the Engine Inn for three days during August 2012 and found our stay very enjoyable. It’s rare to find a,” unique “, pub and accommodation during peak times at such a reasonable price. In terms of distance the Inn is near to Penzance and St Ives’s brilliant for us! The room we stayed in... More

My boyfriend and I needed a B and B within reasonable distance to Carbis Bay as we were attending a wedding there. We found a lot of the accommodation in St. Ives to be very expensive so we looked further afield and found what turned out to be a gem! Extremely friendly owners, very spacious accommodation in converted barns, beautiful... More

We had dinner in The Engine Inn twice during our stay in Cornwall. We absolutely loved the food: great value for money. The owners were also very friendly. We will definitely be going there again.

We went to the engine inn twice on a recent holiday to Cornwall. This is a true locals pub. Excellent food, local selections, great beers! everything you'd want. The service is very, very friendly... we felt almost like a local. We also visited for Sunday Lunch on a rainy Sunday and didn't want to leave. There's darts and a pool... More
