I can see that many other reviews are critical of the for and service. We have gone to the Tinners Arms over the years a few times and have not had a problem. We do love the old pub, the fireplace. We've had local fish entrees and always thought the food was excellent.

I was staying in St Ives last week and went out for supper on Thursday night at the Tinners Arms. It had been recommended by our B & B so we gave it a try. My wife had the Scallops which she said were divine, and I had the Smoked Haddock which i must say was one of the best... More

I agree with a few reviewers on here about the waiting time for food. We ordered our food and wasn't told there would be a wait, but ended up waiting around 1 hour for our meals- the place was very quiet and there were only 2 of us, so I do think this was unacceptable. Were told the chef was... More

Like the last review, we waited (in this case 45 mins) only for what looked like good menu options to be poorly executed. The duck stir fry had overcooked noodles, and a distinct lack of vegetables. The scallops were settled on cold, uncooked chorizo - idea good, execution disappointing. Staff had little idea, albeit did try to make amends by... More

One lady had no prawns in seafood linguine! Sent it back ! On leaving we saw one of the managers he took money off He said never to come... More

My partner and I stayed in the Tinners Arms for 1 night. Our room was lovely, no television, no horrible reminders of modern life. (However, if you are desperate, there is free wifi). We arrived late but were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. We had already eaten but had heard good things about the local ice cream so... More

The Tinners had been recommended to me by a friend and I have to say he didn't let me down. Even though my single room has no phone or TV and it is not ensuite, it is so comfortable and friendly. The food in the pub is good and an added bonus is that there is no phone reception so... More

We came to the Tinners Arms after a spectacular walk along the Zennor headland. The location is perfect and the choice of beers was good. A pint of Tinners Ale with a delicious freshly made Newlyn crab sandwich rounded off the morning and early afternoon perfectly. We hope to return soon as it's a very special place.

When calling into the Tinners Arms after a coastal walk in November, we noted "music" advertised for Thursday evenings. We arrived on Thursday 29th December to celebrate New Year in St. Ives. Our party booked a table and despite poor Trip Advisor reviews we were not disappointed. We found the menu imaginative and reasonably priced. My coeliac husband was catered... More

We love the TInner's. I've been going there since 1978, and I'm happy to say the bar hasn't changed a bit. The setting on the West Penwith coast, with the windswept little church and wonderful coastal scenery, is just perfect, and the Tinner's bar a cosy place to shelter from the weather. We've had varying experiences in the past -... More
