Visited st Ives for a week in May and paid a visit to the Union Inn a place we always like to revisit . The staff are the same as last year and just as friendly and obliging. The pub is quite spacious with one medium sized bar. Low beams and loads of tirn of the century and before pictures... More

Our two children were given free ice by the barman, and we all felt we were treated well on each occasion. The steak meal with free wine and desserts... More

Just had a week in the area, so had lunch on two occasions here. The first time we had sandwiches which were very good; the second time we had cooked meals which were also very good. The Doom Bar beer was well kept and the barman polite and pleasant. We will return the next time we are in St Ives,... More

Often pop into St Ives for a night out and sometimes drop into the Union for something to eat and drink. They do my favourite Kronenbourg (difficult to get as lots of pubs are now stocking that crap San Miguel as its cheaper for them to buy...) The Union do a value 'special' menu and I had the steak. Expected... More

Went to St Ives for the day. We had no recommendations of where to eat so we just took pot luck and went into the Union Inn. We chose from the 'Today's Specials' on the board; Local Sole, New Potatoes, Peas and Salad. We didn't have to wait long to be served and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was... More

Had no cash, so they agreed to set up a 'tab' on receipt of my credit card. After I paid the bill, I realised an error had been made by them, and questioned the total. The error was not explained, I was refunded the money overpaid, and no apology was given. I was made to feel as though it was... More

After 30 minutes of waiting for our garlic bread to come out we asked the girl who took our order how long it would take. After 50 minutes of waiting my husband... More
