The Union Inn

We visited the Union Inn as a family of four in January 24. We all had a meal and drinks. The food was typically British, simple, plenty of it and really enjoyable. I had fish and chips and at £12.95 it represented tremendous value for money in what can be a pricey town. The hostess was really friendly and helpful. A surprising gem that we really enjoyed.

Be careful as soft drink prices are ridiculous. £4.50 for an appletizer!! We visited twice for meals and as usual the liver and bacon was outstanding. Also had beef dinners which were good too. Food wise we feel this pub offers good value, and staff are friendly and helpful. Our issue is the soft drink prices are crazy. £4.50 for a fizzy apple is crazy. Next time I'll have tap water rather than pay that. It doesn't encourage sensible drinking and penalises the driver!

Properly dog friendly, honest boozer. Decent beer and you will never leave this place hungry. Great value compared to many rip off pubs in St. Ives.

We called in for lunch on a day out in St Ives. The food was excellent the fish of the day was delicious and plentiful served with a large portion of tasty chips and salad. Great value for money. The only downside for me was the fact that there were several dogs in the pub and I struggle being close to dogs). I’m sure that would not be a problem for most people as dogs seem to be welcomed in practically all restaurants now.

We find the two ladies who seem to run the bar not very welcoming. However, once you are sat at a table they are happy for you to have, the rest of the experience is worth it. The food is superb. Sunday lunch was a particular highlight and the lady clearing and waiting tables on her own in a packed pub was amazing. She makes up for the indifferent attitude of other staff members.
