The Thirsty Scholar in Cornwall

Parking isn't straight forward in Penryn but the meal was worth the effort. All the meals were made on the premises and all the dishes we tried were delicious. Staff were efficient and friendly and there was a good atmosphere in the place. Will return when we are next in the neighbourhood.

Nice place, good beers and very comfy rooms. Didn't have breakfast but it smelled good. Large beer garden at the rear and very close to transport. Quite a hilly area so possibly not good for disabled.

What a great pub with rooms. We came for valentines night and WOW! The food was amazing, especially the Fillet Steak Rossini.Really friendly and knowledgable staff. We even had an old fashioned each made for us, our favourite night cap, which wasn’t on their drinks menu. Nice way to finish the evening.The room we stayed in was lovely. Really clean, spacious and lovely decor.We had such a good time and we will be back again for sure. If you are ever in the area go and check this place out. It’s no surprise that they have just been voted the best pub in Penryn. Keep up the good work guys. See you again soon

The staff and food were amazing. Duck cakes with ho sin noodles has to be a must to eat! Wow is all we can say. Steak cooked to perfect standard! Hat's off to the chef! Surprised to see how young she was ...... all we can say is your going to have an amazing career , your wasted yet a credit in a lovely pub .. sorry but this chef has potential. Would love the duck cake recipe . Staff friendly happy , a real enjoyable evening for our visit with family. Will defo return. We had the most enjoyable evening thanks to all involved. Thanks to you Both. Both young females and deserve huge appreciation. Much appreciated and an amazing meal. See you soon!

Lovely food and drink, nice atmosphere. A little pricey but you're paying for quality.

Staff were pleasant. Food was normal pub fayre but quite acceptable. Looks like a recent refurb and done tastefully. Not sure about the view of the estuary, you'd need to be on tiptoes and straining I think!

Price for the weekend that we have just returned home from was excellent. Compared to many other B&B's in the Cornwall region. Free breakfast was a bonus also. Wonderful couple who run a great family establishment with great passion. They look after there guests, from the kitchen to the bathroom hand wash. And, the pork pie in the menu was the best I've eaten. We'll be returning there again and again....😁

Ate at the pub Sunday lunchtime. Staff were great, very friendly, chef came personally to check meal was okay. I had the seafood chowder and garlic bread, which was excellent. Wife had the homemade pork pie with stilton salad, also very good. Would have no hesitation returning here. No onsite parking, but there's a free car park about 100 yards down the road. Well worth a visit

Clean and comfortable room, nicely decorated; very friendly and helpful staff, who really will try their best to help and make you feel at home! The food is ok, other Falmouth restaurants do better, but it's reasonable bar food. The wifi is practically non existent and be warned that there is no parking! At the end of the day though, it does offer great value for money.

I just wanted to say how amazing the staff are we went there for a meal last night YES it took a little longer than normal , I really believe a few more staff could help a lot but the 2 ladies and the guy working last night did an incredible job they was rushed off there feet they didn't stop for a minute honestly fantastic job without these 3 literally running it all on there own you would have had the shut the place down. These guys need either a little pay rise or something they deserve it on last night proformace alone !! The food was good but the staff was better
