The Boot Inn - Cornwall,Isles of Scilly

Having dined at numerous restaurants around the world, I was truly impressed with my experience at this particular establishment. In a time where the quality of food and service can often be lacking due to the challenges of Covid, it was a pleasant surprise to find a restaurant that exceeded my expectations. The menu was extensive, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. The team, a lovely husband and wife, made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I had the sea bass, which was cooked to perfection and served with creamy potatoes and salad. My cousins opted for the steak, which was accompanied by tasty vegetables and perfectly cooked chips. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Cornwall and offers a dining experience that is unparalleled. You won't find better food anywhere else.

I visited the pub in search of a meal for the next evening. Two locals quietly recommended it as the best place to eat in the area. I had a drink and a chat with the owners, and made a reservation. I felt welcomed and was not disappointed the following evening. My starter of creamy scallops and homemade bread was excellent, and my main course, pork medallions, was a delight to both see and taste. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her homemade fishcakes. The meal was clearly made to order, so it took a while before we were served. We had a pleasant conversation with the female owner while sitting near a cozy log fire. It was a very relaxing evening, and I regret not being able to try their Sunday lunch. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stayed at the lovely Chapel at Harewood Farm for a few nights and dined at the Boot Inn twice. The first time was for Sunday roast, which I have to say was one of the best I've ever had. The portions were generous, the beef was tender, the Yorkshire puddings were perfect, and there was plenty of gravy. The meal came with all the trimmings, including a delicious leek and horseradish sauce. Despite being full, we couldn't resist trying the bread butter pudding and trifle. Kim and chef Sean, the hosts, entertained us with stories and made sure everyone was well-fed and happy. We returned a couple of nights later for the chateaubriand and to catch up with Kim and Sean. The meal was fantastic, with perfectly cooked meat, potato dauphinoise, asparagus, and great conversation. This dining experience was definitely a highlight of our holiday, and we can't wait to go back someday.

I came with my boyfriend for a Sunday roast and it was probably the best roast I've ever had! The food was amazing, really good value and we both loved it. I would recommend this pub to anyone wanting a traditional roast dinner, in a...cosy pub with a friendly atmosphere, will definitely be going back.

“They do terrific food!”, claimed my brother before we arrived at the inn and, indeed, we were not at all disappointed. I had chateaubriand and I can honestly say it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. My wife dined on...sea bass in a ginger lemon sauce, and she found it succulently tender and delicious. The pub is quirkily traditional and both the landlady and the landlord-cum-chef, are very personable and friendly. Given the quality of the cuisine, the prices are most reasonable, you could pay much more in an equivalent high-class restaurant and not have anything like such an enjoyable feast. Mind, this establishment has a mild whiff of Dickensian eccentricity about it. If you prefer modern, bland and boring, as served up by the major pub chains, don’t bother to come here. We, ourselves, shall certainly book a table again the next time we roam the West Country.
