The Mariners Public House in Rock

We recently had the pleasure of dining at The Mariners in Rock and were absolutely blown away. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with the warmest welcome from the lovely Italian manager. His kindness and genuine hospitality instantly made us feel at home. But the real star of the show was the food. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, cooked to perfection with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavours were incredible, and the presentation was beautiful. It's clear that the chef has a real passion for creating delicious food. Combined with the cosyy atmosphere and friendly service, The Mariners provided a truly memorable dining experience. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in Rock. A special thank you to the wonderful Italian manager for making our visit so special!

We had a weekend in Padstow and it was our friends birthday and decided to try The Mariners, which was booked months ago. We were not disappointed at all, the food was just delicious, the drinks were yum, the negroni was a big hit and the dessert certainly went down a treat. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere was good but probably even better in season. We will definitely come back again (well, whenever we next come back to Cornwall).. :0)

The food was exceptional , very well presented , extremely tasty and very good value for money. Service was first class , servers were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was easy going and relaxed. We were treating ourselves to our belated anniversary and the staff made us feel very welcome and even presented us with a card , which i thought was a very nice touch . We will be back.

Our third visit and it just doesn’t miss. Beautiful food, the mackerel special in particular was so delicious. Carrot cake pudding is exceptional too. Our waiter, macy/mazy (sorry we couldn’t quite hear!) was absolutely brilliant and really looked after us. Looking forward to a return trip on our holiday next year!!

Great gastropub in the perfect position. All food fantastic with great service. Perfect for a special occasion and after a walk along Rock beach. The best burger ever!

Wonderful lunch for my Mums birthday. A good value for money 3 course meal for £26. Beautiful crab cakes to start with an amazing Masala mayo, a warm and humble cottage pie with some hispi cabbage, wow! Then the ice cream to finish off which was lovely. Thanks a lot enjoyable experience overlooking the chilly waters of the estuary!

I am so happy The Mariners didn’t disappoint. I have been looking forward to visiting for a long time and it was fantastic. From the very warm welcome through to the great food and beautiful views. One highlight which I forgot to take a photo of was the jam sponge and custard for dessert. So much vanilla in the custard and a very generous splodge of jam on top of the sponge. Very kid friendly as well, a 5* review all round, throughly recommended.

This place always amazes us. We’d heard about how good the Sunday roast was but never managed to be able to book a table until this weekend (December 2024). It was worth the wait!
