Great as always and great staff

Came in as a family to have curry and beer for £15 and was brilliant. Quite spicy but very tasty and the quiz was great fun. The manager was also brilliant. The staff here are brilliant, we always come to The Lifeboat and even stayed here once which I’d highly recommend.

Delicious Thai curry!

We had a wonderful meal at the Lifeboat Inn. We were very well looked after by Sam, Emily and Zach. We’ll come again, definitely! Many thanks!

Amazing pub!

Went in expecting typical pub grub! We all came out saying it was one of the nicest meals we have had in St Ives. The 3 for £20 deal on small dishes were all amazing! There was also plenty of Gluten Free options which is great. The service was amazing, we had a couple of female waiters, a young girl and another called Pam/Sam both gave amazing service. Gorgeous views! All over lovely experience.

Good value in the centre of St Ives.

I have stayed at the Lifeboat Inn on one previous occasion. My experience was very good and I was not disappointed on my return visit. I was only staying for one night. I was given the same room as before which I found comfortable,and spacious. The staff were very attentive and friendly.You are in the centre of St Ives which is a good location. The food was good and I watched the world go by from my table.
