We visited on Saturday late afternoon after walking down from Gwelan Mor and having a walk on the…read morebeach. We grabbed some pints of the local beer and cider and sat outside on the trestle tables in the beer garden. I would recommend the Cornish Gold Cyder - soft, refreshing, deceptively easy to drink, just watch out when you stand up! Doombar and St Austell beers are also served, and good. We also ordered some food - just chips and some bread and olives to keep hunger pangs at bay. Chips were chunky hand cut chips and pretty good. Bread rolls were served warm with olive oil and balsamic, a dish of green pitted olives and a side salad. When we were there they were playing live music inside the pub and outside there were hordes of kids enjoying the play area. A great little family pub.

Delicious food. Lovely old world pub. Friendly staff…read more However 2nd visit and at both visits we felt hurried through our meal for other people walking in and wanting the table and staff blatantly telling new people our table would be free soon despite the fact we had not finished main meal or had dessert. No offer of coffee as they wanted the table and we were asked to move to the bar. The table had been booked in advance and was a way for 3 friends to meet and have a chat. I did not expect to be hurried or moved. All could have been solved by a sign put outside saying all tables for food were full. For thus reason I won't be going again despite the delicious food!

Came here for dinner once during our stay in town. Wanted to dine here the first night, but was…read morebooked out. So we booked for the next night. Looks very classy, comfy and with an interesting menu. Our Bulldog was welcome inside as well. Had two cocktails for a start: Frozen Watermelons and Better Than Blue Lagoon. Both visually very nice drinks. Colourful. But taste-wise a bit weak and a tad too sweet for our taste. Had some bread and makarel paté with that. Pretty strong flavour, but we enjoyed it. Might not be for everybody though. Seafood platter & Steak'n'fries as mains. Mussels, clams, shrimp, lobster legs and scallops in the platter. For the price it definitely could have been a bigger load. Was fresh enough, but we've had way better tasting seafood at other places. The steak was ok. Not a prime cut, but the flavour was fine. Fine. Not more. Fries were good though. Had a bottle of white wine with that. Nice, cold, crisp. The views with the sun shining in are pretty nice here. Not right at the beach, but nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. The chairs/benches were a bit tough and it got uncomfortable after a while. But it's a dog-friendly place. That's a plus. Paid in the end around 120£ for everything. Not exactly cheap. And way too much for what we got in return. Food was really average at best. An ok dinner, but not more. Once was ok to try. But we didn't go back the other nights. Looks more classy and upscale than it is in the end. Especially food-wise.

The food is fine, it's typical 'pub grub' with a few interesting items on the menu. One of the best things for families is that it has lots of outside seating and an attached play area - both local and visiting children love it and the parents get a break then. We really enjoy going to The Unicorn and visit once or twice a fortnight normally.

After a hard days work in a smelly, dusty, marquee with an amazing sea view I was taken out to this…read moredusty, old pub with an amazing sea view. What a treat! and I'm not even joking. It was a treat. This is an amazingly nice and comfy pub. The inside is dark and cool on a hot day, with low ceilings, oak furniture and model boats in glass cases everywhere. The outside seating has the typical wooden benches with umbrellas, but goes all the way down the pier, so you sit nearly in the water. Ok, at low tide it's more algae than anything else, but the view is still stunning. The menu is very nice and offers Cornish specialities of seafood, fish pie and lobster plus the usual of steak and burgers. All the things I tried - from starters to side to main to dessert - I was eating stuff off everyone's plate - were delicious and everyone loved it without a doubt. A real treat!

The batter was pretty much tasteless and the fish was ok. The beer and cider was great and I highly recommend the berry cider that I had.

The service was close to decent but we constantly saw waiters coming out looking confused and looking for people and tables that weren't there. Not bad.

Luckily we were sat right under the specials board from that I instantly chose the fried haggis and then a ox cheek dish to follow. I also decided to sample a fire side cocktail which packed a punch of tequila. The fried haggis was sublime with it poached egg and was the perfect amount for a starter. Cream spinach was ordered to accompany my ox cheeks which turned out to be so tender! However it was so rich with the red wine sauce and mash that i struggled to finish. To complete the meal I opened the gin menu which was extensive. My friend had one that changed colour where I got a sake based one. Each one was carefully presented with delicate fruits .. Overall a very lovely place and a must to attend to in St Ives
