When you visit the Pandora, it’s easy to forget you’re in the 21st century. Its spectacular setting on the edge of Restronguet Creek is timeless. Parts of the Inn date back to the 13th Century and, with its flagstone floors, low-beamed ceilings and thatched roof it’s not difficult to believe that little has changed since that time.
Cosy & traditionalWhile the Pandora’s wonderful setting remains unchanged, everything else in this cosy traditional inn is 21st century comfort and quality.
The Pandora Inn is in such a lovely setting, it’s a shame to only visit by car. Our car park is quite small and in the summer does get very crowded. So why not make a trip to the Pandora a real day out and leave your car at home and visit us by boat, bicycle or on foot! There’s lots of information here on our website, including details of a series of circular walks.
Publicans John Milan and Steve Bellman have been at the helm of the Pandora since 1999. Their attention to detail in everything – from the food and service to the décor and furniture – has established the Pandora as an award-winning pub that aims to give you an enjoyable and memorable experience whenever you visit.
Chef John Poole uses the freshest, local, seasonal produce. There’s an extensive wine list and traditional real ales from St Austell Brewery.
Combine this with a spectacular setting, roaring log fires and a warm welcome from your managers Catherine and Lester Croft and a trip to the Pandora is a must.

Visiting from the US, brought to the Pandora by our British friends who live nearby. Absolutely perfect! Beautiful setting, super friendly staff, a nice bar selection and great food. We will be back!
Had a short trip to Falmouth and stumbled across this place on the first night. Found it hard to beat so return on the last night as well. Great food and friendly staff at a good price. Highly recommended
This is going to be a succinct review. There are Crab Sandwiches and there are Pandora Crab Sandwiches. Nuff said- no contest !!!
In common with many hospitality venues, we are experiencing difficulties recruiting staff and especially so for our kitchen.
We have had to amend our food service times to ensure our remaining team are ok.
From Monday 7th June until further notice our food service times will be as follows and could still be subject to availability:
Monday – we will be open for drinks and will be serving Cornish pasties and cream teas only.
On all other days we will serve from a smaller main menu 12noon until 3.00pm and 5.30pm until 9.00pm (last food orders 8.30pm). We will serve pasties, cream teas and our full range of drinks only between 3.00pm and 5.30pm on these days.
We are busy… very busy and we will serve everyone as quickly and courteously as we can but there is likely to be a wait – to order, for drinks and for food – please only place an order if you are prepared to wait.
