The 15 best spots for fried chicken in St Ives

We stumbled across this place during our stay in st Ives and we were so glad we did. The food was amazing, the biggest burgers we'd ever seen! Everything we ordered was delicious and well presented, the staff were all super friendly and gave great service. Would definitely go back.

Great pub-restaurant with a good selection of food and beers. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming. We had a small communication issue with our waitress, but she mentioned she was new, so it’s understandable. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Not eaten here in a couple years but it’s a favourite of ours and we looked forward to returning! Food was fantastic! Be prepared to get messy, Hickory Squealer is impossible to eat and keep clean but it’s definitely worth it! Wednesdays offer of extra wings was also fantastic and delicious!! Staff couldn’t have been better! Savannah in particular was extremely polite and friendly and offered advice on the menu, noticing that my daughter was (mistakenly) looking at the plant based side of the menu and checking whether it was plant based she was after, or the chicken. She also offered for us to taste a couple of the lagers, with us not being familiar with what was on offer! We look forward to our next visit!

Visited last night for dinner they do beer and chicken and also have a beer and plant menu! Catering for all. They also have a kids menu too. Some other reviews have suggested this isn’t kid friendly, its St Ives every restaurant caters for families. Steep stairs to enter but had a warm welcome. Recommend booking in advance you need to enter card details which are held but no money taken. Food arrived quick within 15 mins. We ordered x2 burgers, fries and a mac and cheese. Kids portion was big and tasty and comes with a drink. It had a rusty feel but I think it felt really cheap inside and grubby. The walls are really dirty if you noticed them. Toilets are cheap and could go with a scrub. I left wanting more for the prices they are charging if I'm honest. £20 for a burger and fries. I had the jerk burger and was expecting a home made mango chutney but I think it was bought from a jar. 10% service charge automatically added to the bill. All in all a nice meal, good service and food was good just nothing amazing.

We had a lovely meal we took our dog with us she was happy not too noisy Super friendly staff. Amazing food just spot on cooked and flavours are bang on. Oh and the cocktails are well worth a try. 👌

Lovely girls serving us. Didn’t book but still got seated. Lush food and drinks and good location

The place is upstairs, a rather steep set of stairs. We were seated almost immediately, tables were cleaned for us and drinks ordered promptly. Local craft beers and some strong ones, I like that. I didnt check the menu before arrival, reasoning Beer N Bird is chicken and beer, however its simply burgers really. They are great burgers, portion sizes are extremely fair. The flavours are good, ingredients fair quality. The staff were young but good, chatty and have a laugh but don't pester you too much. There was a girl singing the other end of the room.. not that great to be fair, however, was not too loud to ruin stuff. Overall a decent enough dinner.

I had a late lunch here and was seated without any difficulty. The restaurant wasn't crowded for a weekend winter afternoon. The food was decent; the burger was cooked well, and the garlic parmesan chips were average. The staff were wonderful throughout our visit. Most noteworthy was the relaxing ambiance and the amazing view. I would happily dine here again.

Thank you so much, highlight of my stay in St Ives! I was around for a bit longer and came back a few times as I loved the burgers (dirty disco was the favourite), and the staff were super nice ☺️ so why go elsewhere? they recognised me already my second time, and were very accommodating despite me travelling alone (which is not welcome everywhere in the busy summer season) and never booking ahead. Picture doesn't do the burger justice, got to try!

After visiting St Ives we thought we would give the Hub a try. We are so glad we did as it was so good. It was that good we had to visit for a second time. The staff were so friendly and looked like they actually enjoyed working there. It may have had something to do with the great atmosphere the place had. The food was spot on. Burgers were one of the best we've had, and the giant onion rings were so tasty too. We also loved the choice of the £5 cocktails. The Pina colada was lovely and strong. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

We stopped by here on a Sunday evening after walking a section of the South West Coast path. We hadn’t booked but were lucky to get a sea view table. The restaurant was busy but the staff created a relaxed atmosphere. Food was good and the service excellent!

Come across this place back in December as we wanted to visit on New Year’s Eve but unfortunately it was fully booked. While being on holiday I thought it’s a great time to visit as I’ve had to wait a long 8 months to come back. I can tell you now it was definitely worth the wait! Food was incredible, definitely took us by surprise. The smashed cheeseburger was delicious, the classy chick was decent, the mutha clucka dirty fries were great. Sauces were decent, drinks were refreshing. Unfortunately the chicken tenders were a let down but other than that, food was spot on. Service was quite good, open and honest about the 45 minute wait time for food before being seated which I appreciated and respected. Definitely worth the 45 minute wait tho, we were well looked after and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I noticed they must be short staffed so we didn’t mind. Would highly recommend to those who love burgers. Definitely worth a shout, the cheeseburger is a go to.

Went after 7pm, was partly empty but took a long time for drinks and food to come out. Masala chips weren't that great and the plant burger was average, like every other burger I had. Loved the milkshake and the servers were very nice to us. Music was playing and doors open to let in a breeze so enjoyable experience overall.

Given a table sticky and dirty. Food was okay although paid £14 for a burger on it’s own without chips, absolute liberty! The manager was rude and abrupt- told a family member who has a unique dieting requirement (eating disorder) that she couldn’t eat there with us-We were a party of 8 and couldn’t enjoy our experience afterwards.

I enjoyed my first burger (peppercorn sauce & blue cheese special) so much that I had to go back on my final evening in St Ives to have the chorizo and feta! The deserts were amazing too - best cookie dough and bannna split. Very cool place!

we were lucky to find one of the few tables at dinner time. one of the best burgers i’ve had, juicy and with a tasty bun. i also liked the chips and special salt flakes. they have kids options and the staff was helpful in choosing from the menu. i had the burger with chili aioli and liked!!!

Amazing burgers, one of the best ones I had and very creative flavours. Also, their onion rings are gigantic and crispy! Lots of gluten free and vegan options, we had to go back twice in our short trip to St Ives, too good!

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the food Blas offers is "just" a burger. They are about as far away from a burger-joint burger as is possible to get; The food here is in a class of it's own. I think it's good value given the quality of the food - not cheap but worth every penny. The best burger I've ever had.

AMAZING. That sums it up really, no complaints at all about this banging burger joint. Went here two weeks in a row on our holiday to St Ives, my partner had the special with beef both times and said they were some of the best burgers he's had. I was impressed that all of their burgers could be made vegetarian and vegan. The beef / bean / chicken way of doing things is great, makes for a less stressful ordering experience. It's also nice to be able to eat the same things as everyone else as a vegetarian, instead of sitting there with your sad salad or the dreaded falafel wrap when your mates dig into their gourmet burgers. Also that cookie dough dessert you're not sure you should get? Get it. You won't regret it. Love their commitment to being green as well, karma drinks are a personal fave anyway and always happy to see them on a menu. The GuacaNOle was awesome and I'll be experimenting with making something like that myself! Highly recommend, don't miss out on this gem when you visit St Ives.

The burgers were quite good, but a little overpriced for what they are. Even the most basic option is nearly £20, with cheese (admittedly very tasty) an extra £2, and only a small portion of chips on the side. Similarly, the signature GuacaNOle was a fun idea, but nothing too distinctive in flavor, and the tortillas were a bit ordinary and far too few for the price.

Ambience and service is great but their burgers are way overpriced for what they serve. And they also don’t have beers on tap :(

Great food at a good price considering the area and placement of the restaurant. We really enjoyed our food and thought it was good bang for the buck. I thought the fish was lovely, decent size and the chips were good. Steak was also really good given a £12.99 steak and chips deal. Staff were friendly and attentive. Had a lovely sea view but had a street performer singing through the windows 😂

Tasty chowder, great creamy sauce for chip dipping. Nice seats. It was very busy when we visited, the place felt slightly understaffed as the few staff that worked there were rushed off their feet. However, saying that, the staff kept on checking up on us and always seemed friendly. Drinks and food came reasonably quickly. Wasn’t overly pricey. Nice place with good views.

I wanted quality fish and chips by the sea and unfortunately that’s not what I got. The chips seem to be fried oven chips rather than fresh potato and I was given haddock when I ordered cod. The fish itself was nice but wasn’t the cod I was expecting. Just serving proper chips would improve things massively.

Seeing some mixed reviews my expectations about the food were pretty average, but to my pleasant surprise the food, and the service far exceeded them. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful in giving recommendations. Since this was lunch time, I ordered their tomato soup, monkfish and Panna Cotta for dessert. Every dish was very nicely presented, well cooked, and tasted great. Their chef definitely has talent. I can absolutely recommend this place based on my experience.

As we entered with dog one of the staff said “ oh we have prince walking through the door” I felt so welcoming… and the FOOD omg! I didn’t expect everything to be so delicious specially VEG PASTA WITH PRAWNs love it❤️

Probably the best seafood we’ve had in a while. Prawns were tender with delicious garlic butter, very generous portion sizes. Mussels soft and cooked well in moorish white wine creamy sauce. Gorgeous view too!

Very nice restaurant on 1st floor, entrance from behind the building. Great food. Very nice service people. Food was excellent, we'll be back.

The most amazing breakfast we have ever had! The service was great and the food came out quickly too. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. We had a double English, the smoker and an eggs Benedict and all were divine. Added benefit is that dogs are allowed in, and they have a doggy menu. Thank you.

Our second visit this week. And even better than the first. The service was superb again, it’s a nice place, brilliant location. She had Avo and Eggs again - loved it. I had Welsh Rarebit. Wow. It was simply amazing. The best Welsh Rarebit I have ever had. The little fella had some toast. Brilliant cafe. On our previous visit I had a Croque Madam, and it was delicious.

Popped in to the cafe this morning for breakfast. Lovely staff and interior is funky. Had the double full English which was superb, the waffle stack one had looked amazing and the poached eggs and avocado also looked really good. The pot of tea was great All in all a great place to visit and would recommend it. Ignore the moaners, I doubt they've ever cracked a smile since birth.

A good place for families to grab a quick brunch. Crab sandwich was really good. Flatbread brisket was on the dryer side, but was quite flavourful. Atmosphere was lively, decor was interesting and seating was comfortable/spacious.

Visited twice and had very yummy coffee, a really nice breakfast on the first visit and a delish scone on the second, with cornish jam and everything! Very cute atmosphere too ☺️ Great vegan options for my partner too.

We stumbled upon this café when we were looking to get a quick lunch before leaving St Ives and it was such a lovely find. Generous portions, good coffee, lots of options for vegetarians and very friendly service.

We went in here to get out of the rain and decided to try our first Cornish Cream Tea. Got sat immediately and staff were attentive and food arrived quickly. Warm and cosy atmosphere and a good experience.

Not a very good experience. Drink came room temperature and the chips were very soggy and pale. The way our food was put in the bag wasn’t good either. Most boxes on its side and curry sauce was leaking. Shame as this used to be one of my favourite chip shops in town.

Popped in as walking by and not expecting the amazing food and service we received. Very good price too for the middle of St Ives. Definitely recommend the seafood sharing platter which is more than enough for 2 adults and was incredible! Thank you.

Popped in for take away, the reateraunt is up stairs. I was served by a young girl behind the counter who clearly didn't want to serve me or be at work, the guy with shades on seemed a bit more attentive Food: didn't think much of it at all, and the seven other people that were with me wouldn't visit again or rate the food. The owner needs to take a look at his team running the show.

Chips £3.35 and pea fritter £2.75 were OK. I was a bit disappointed with the very mushy peas as it was puréed like baby food. Staff seemed bored, leaning on the counter yawning away looking down the steps like she didn’t want to be there.

First time coming in here today with my mom on holiday and it was great friendly welcoming staff and prawn cocktail was beautiful and the fish and chips were also really nice well worth the money

This establishment seems tiny, but they actually have a comfortable and stylish upstairs seating area. Our waitresses were lovely, friendly and very attentive. Our food came quickly despite the place being very busy with both takeaways and the restaurant orders! It was piping hot, and the price was reasonable for what we got.

Excellent fish and chip shop. All made fresh as we were waiting. Fantastic scampi and a generous portion. Chips were superb, and lots of salt & vinegar. Pleasant staff. Would highly recommend

Great little restaurant for the meat lovers. The food was delicious, good sized portions and it’s reasonably priced for the area. Only downside was service was quite slow (and it wasn’t busy) and they got a couple of things wrong with the order. But overall would definitely recommend.

Pre-booked a table for Friday evening which is probably necessary for peak season as it's a very popular restaurant. Staff were very friendly, and very attentive to those with nut and gluten allergies - providing separate menus with the items highlighted to avoid or to choose from. Food arrived promptly and was presented really well - good portion sizes too. We had the flat iron steak, sea bass and a brisket burger. All of which were delicious and cooked really well. Definitely a restaurant for a bit of a treat as it is a little pricey for some items, like £5 for a side of sweet potato fries. We'd happily come back again when visiting St Ives.

We ate here last night and we hadn't booked and thankfully were able to get a table. Plenty of gluten free options,I had half a rotisserie chicken, fries and a side of green vegetables. The chicken was perfect, tasty & moist, the greens were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fries were lovely,(actually could have done with sharing fries). My husband had a double burger with fries and coleslaw,also very tasty and daughter had Mac & Cheese with brisket which she reported as been very delicious. We had one Coke and one beer and the bill came to £77 including service. Very reasonable,food outstanding and service good. Definitely recommend and would return.

Great place, food excellent, staff friendly and efficient. Place was full so there was a nice buzz about the place. I had the double burger with bacon & cheese and a side of fries (main meal didn’t come with fries). Also managed to get a table upstairs by the window with a nice view of the ocean which was an added bonus!

Great menu choice, drinks and food. Busy restaurant and good music creating a great atmosphere. Food was superb would highly recommend. Sophie our server was so attentive and efficient. Thank you for a lovely experience.

From the advertised board outside we liked the sound of what they were offering, im glad not many places these days are missing vital parts to your meal and then expecting you to add them as 'sides' which is what we have here, i liked the idea of the rotisserie chicken but that was literally just the meal, if you wanted chips you have to order those separately, luckily I ordered the fish and chips from the lunch menu and im please to say included chips, well, a few toothpicks, my wife ordered garlic bread and as she was eating it she couldn't taste any garlic so i had a try and we were definitely served toast, most of the staff we saw had a face on them and wasn't very helpful or welcoming, but they did remove the garlic bread from the bill so i cant really say wasnt helpful, they were dog friendly so that's a good thing I guess, so yeah, thanks guys

AWFUL FOOD AND SERVICE!! We visit The Firehouse every year and every year it gets worse!! I had booked well in advance of our holiday and disappointed would be the understatement of the century. My husband and I both ordered the mixed grill…..we were asked how we would like the steak cooked, both medium rare! Well the most underwhelming looking dish arrived. The meat was so overcooked salty and just awful. The so called rump steak was more like a minute steak on my plate and my husband couldnt even cut into his let alone chew it. We called the waiter over, who then came back and said I don’t really know what we can do for you, it’s how it comes from the butcher and there’s nothing we can do!! And that was it we were left……… My husband then went over to ask for the manager who then told us the same thing about the butcher and that they didn’t have extras. Just shocking service. We will not return to this place again.

I had a nice experience here. The quality of the food is very good, and there’s a nice atmosphere. We didn’t have to wait long for the food either. I would definitely recommend the Rajpoot!

Really lovely Indian food. Lots to choose from and very generous portion sizes. Me and my boyfriend got a curry, rice and naan each but could have easily shared one of each between the two of us. Really good vegetarian selection. Especially recommend the tawa.

Bad hospitality, we went to eat husband and wife, ordered few stuffs, but they were like rude, asked for their policy which is some mandatory dishes or takeaway. They only accept cash for takeaway which is really bad. Shish kabab is not possible for takeaway but eat in possible. Food was horrible. Burned Nan bread. No waiting sofa or anything, Asked us and some other takeaway client to wait out side after order. Waiting time was near about 30min. Overall very bad experience as a tourist.

Lovely busy restaurant. Service was good and food really tasty. Not sure why there are so many poor reviews, they almost put me off but glad we went. They serve soft drinks, so if you want alcohol take your own, or get them from the co-op opposite, as we did.

I visited this restaurant with my family yesterday, and all I can say is that it was one of our worst experiences. The ‘King Prawn Biryani that my wife and I had was bland and not very nice. I then noticed that they had used small prawns instead of king prawns to make both dishes - false advertising and blatantly ripping customers off, as this was one of the most expensive dishes at £16, and they were using cheap prawns instead of king prawns as advertised. When I raised this with one of the staff members, he went to the kitchen, came back, apologised, and said he would remove it from the bill. His colleague then returned and started aggressively arguing that I had asked for prawn biryani - I was astonished, and I made the point that their menu does not even have prawn biryani. (see menu attached ) So why would I ask for it? It was the worst service we had, and the food was awful. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. See snippet of Biryani section in menu and full menu attached: “STIR FRIED BIRYANI> Basmati rice stir fried with special home made Biryani paste. Garnished with tomato & cucumber. Served with a vegetable curry side dish. Chicken Tikka Biryani D - £14:00 King Prawn Biryani D © £16.00”

Lovely meal and great service, would recommend if you’re visiting St Ives!

Though there was a decent atmosphere, service sucked. I asked the guy for a medium between sweet and spicy for an extra between a dish, he just said crap about "policy", thought he was cool. But yes, if you have some more picky eaters then this is a place to avoid.

Had a fantastic experience at Harbour Fish & Chips in St Ives! The location right on the harbour is perfect, and the food was absolutely delicious. You can really taste the freshness of the locally sourced fish and chips—they’re easily the best in town. Loved that everything is prepared on-site, and the chips were perfectly cooked. Great service and staff who make you feel very welcome. A lovely spot to eat in or grab a takeaway. Highly recommend!

A must visit for fish and chips and oysters. The mussels were good too! The sauce was not salty and was tick and full of flavour. Very generous portions. Quick service and friendly staff We didn't have to wait long and as a group of 9 we were very lucky to sit down together and have some great food and in good time too. No long wait and everyone's order came out pretty much at the same time and all hot and tasty The oysters came with lemon and Tabasco. I would have like the red onion vinaigrette but they were good even with just the lemon. Tables could do with more napkins and or wiping cloth for the finger wash bowls but overall, we loved this restaurant Everyone left full and happy.

Tasty food with a great view and nice decor. Fresh, hot meals and a good menu. Prices were fair (half a cider cheaper than soft drinks!). Service wasn’t great and a service charge was added without clear notice, hence 3 stars.

On a day out in St Ives this place completed my day with one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. They were very busy on Saturday and we had to wait outside to be seated which didn’t take very long. Staff were super nice and friendly and looked after us. Highly recommend if you are around its worth the wait.

Delicious fish and chips. If I was honest, I wasn't expecting much from this fish and chip shop, which sits on the seafront of a busy resort. However, from the moment we were greeted by the friendly staff to the arrival of our delicious fish and chips, I was so glad we'd chosen to visit. The fish was cooked to a turn, the batter deliciously crunchy, and the chips and peas a perfect accompaniment. Highly recommended!

One of the best fish and chips I have had in a long time. The staff were friendly, quick service to say how busy they were for a Saturday night and great atmosphere

Had the cod and chips with a pint of their lager. Fish and chips were decent but fairly average, especially compared to other spots around Cornwall and beyond. The lager was smooth and really enjoyable though. Prices were what you’d expect for St Ives so not cheap, but not surprising either. All in all, fine for a quick bite by the sea.

A lovely pub with a great atmosphere. A special shout out to Jamie and Casey who were so friendly and welcoming, they couldn't do enough for us. The food was excellent and well presented. We will be back soon!

Been going to this pub for years when visiting the caravan site. Always been inviting and great menu . Their Menu is boring . This is st Ives - fish finger sandwich🤣 We had a ‘special’ meal . I’m no cook myself but that was terrible . Wine in a little bottle - you having a laugh!!! We are so disappointed and this pub will be closed soon . Won’t be visiting again better meal on a transport cafe. Sorry

Stumbled on this quaint pub on our travels. Beautiful country pub, fabulous food (I had lamb shank and hubby had pie). Staff were very welcoming and service was very good. We had 2 small dogs and will definitely return if we are in the area again. Thank you.x

Back again after having the best Sunday roast here 6 years ago. Unfortunately the standard has dropped. Food was average, my beef was overcooked and tough, sliced on the grain so even more tough. Veggies are ok, green beans also tough and stringy. My husbands chicken breast was also overcooked and dry. The lamb was good. Pork belly had no crackling- was told this before ordering but such a shame. Service was good, friendly staff. Parking available opposite the pub.

We visited during a very quiet Saturday afternoon and were were the only customers so can't comment on service and atmosphere but was very very disappointed with the quality of the food despite it being over priced for what it was! The £7 chicken goujons were tiny and skinny and only got three of them in a portion...essentially heated frozen supermarket ones! The £14.95 beef burgers were heated frozen quarter pounders, buns weren't even toasted and had to pay extra for a single slice of cheese! To top it all off the burger didn't sit well with me and made me puke out all the food!

Grateful for this delightful gastropub with England’s finest pub food. My family and I visited and arrived early lunch, were quickly seated and served. Service was great and food was delicious with generous portions. I highly recommend this place as not all restaurants/pubs in Cornwall do lunch (go figure). A parking lot just for this pub across the street was an added bonus plus clean toilets with a changing station in the ladies room. Awesome.

We went for Sunday lunch, and it was the worst roast we have ever had! The vegetables so over cooked that they had turned into a green gray slop, the beef was like cracked leather. My partner had the vegetarian option which was so bad one mouthful was enough, utterly revolting. The Halsetown Inn was a really lovely place to eat a few years ago but now it's sadly a definite place to avoid. There's a reason they made us pay before we ate.

Chose this bar as between myself, my wife and my son we all fancied different things. I had fish and chips, son had a burger and wife something else entirely. We were on a mini holiday in Cornwall at the time. Lovely staff, nice and clean decor with good food. Totally recommend and will be coming back on our next visit to beautiful Cornwall.

We stopped by for breakfast around 10:30 on Saturday. Busy but moved to a nice balcony table. Staff were very kind, smiley, and helpful. 🥗 Food & Drinks We all had vegan breakfast with adding/removing some things. They don't have veggie option hence we went with vegan making it not vegan with additions 😂 🍞 Fried bread – far too oily, couldn’t eat it. 🌽 Corn fritters – good texture, but turmeric overpowered the corn. 🌭 Vegan sausage – absolutely delicious! 🍳 Scrambled eggs – watery, uneven, and bland. ☕ Coffee – excellent, rich dark beans, worth coming for. 🌟 Atmosphere & Service 😊 Friendly, helpful staff. 🌿 Lovely balcony seating, relaxed vibe. Overall: Great service and atmosphere, some standout dishes (vegan sausage & coffee), but a few items need improvement.

We stopped as a group of 13 for drinks after a long mornings walk around St Ives. This is a fantastic place with stunning views of the harbour. Staff are very accommodating and super friendly. We were served very quickly and were sat in the corner at the back with the superb view. We stayed for about 2 hours chatting and taking pictures of our views and each other Good times !!

Previously we’ve only been in here for a drink, maybe a few years ago, however we’ve recently tried it for food. With so much choice in St. Ives you do need to be l picky! Our buyers were okay, but I wouldn’t have them again - if that makes sense. They lacked body, were a bit “squishy”, which is a shame as the flavours were fairly good. I’ve had a lot worse. Service was okay, the woman was a bit like she couldn’t really be bothered, the server guy was a bit more enthusiastic. It’s a great location and the restaurant/bar is done out really well, of course the views are stunning if you’re lucky enough to get a window seat. There is no parking, you will have to use a public car park in the area.

Nice spot with amazing views over the bay and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was just ok for the price, and there’s a hefty 10% service charge automatically added, which makes it even more expensive. I tried the tacos and was disappointed to find only a tiny sliver of chicken inside – definitely not worth it. Worth visiting for the views, but be prepared to pay a premium. 👌

We went here for a late dinner and they’ve got a good, talented singer which adds more entertainment while we enjoy our food. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fish & chips. They were tasty and good value for money. The restaurant also has a nice view of the bay.

Some say this place is friendly, Some say the food is ***** Others even say the views are succulent. I concur all 3. Lovely cocktail too....

Always great food & service from Sharky’s, that’s why we keep coming back!! First time ordering through the App which was very easy & a discount, Thank you 🙂

No ratings fort atmosphere as I've only ever known it as a take away. Best local chippy. Especially now the Balancing Eel has been sold. Real potatoes none of that reformed dehydrated nonsense you get at most places. The fish always tastes just that bit fresher than the others, even in the winter when business has got to be slower. They also use solid oil whether beef fat or vegetable I couldn't say. Either way they are cooked in the traditional way and you have to eat it while it's hot. The photo below is my left overs which I'm about to devour. They always give enough for two meals, as I don't believe in unnecessary waste, I always enjoy a Sharkey's treat twice in a week 😂

Absolutely the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time. Glad I preordered as not surprisingly there was a big queue. Delicious fish and crispy chips, will definitely come back next time we’re in St Ives.

On holiday in St Ives and always have F&C first night away. Found Sharkey’s was the closest to where we were staying and reviews did it justice. Absolutely amazing fish and chips. The chips were like nothing I’ve had before, fluffy and crispy. So good went back for 2nds. Top rank.

Really tasty fish and cheesy chips. Excellent batter on the fish. Curry sauce had a good tang. Ordered via the app and no delay in getting order. Highly recommended.

So stopped by here to pick up some food, we got cod, chips, curry sauce, chip butty, 2x battered sauces and scraps. We then had a 15 min journey back to penzance and the food stayed good until we got back. However I felt the chips were a let down and they were under cooked for my liking. Maybe this is a one off and will be back again when in the area.

Ordered on the app... Collection was fab and the food was the best we have had in a very long time. The chips were perfect and the batter on the fish was so crispy.

This little takeaway spot has both a collection and delivery option… the service was quick as we only waited 10 minutes. We always come here when we holiday in St Ives and have never had any issues! Really reasonable prices for some tasty takeaway. It is cash only but there is a cash point round the corner so not a problem. I recommend the salt and pepper chicken as well as the prawn toast. We will be returning here <3

Had dinner here last night, called up and only waited 10mins for collection. Perfect! Cash only on collection. Food was piping hot and nice. Squid was lovely and we were happy. I've noticed there is mixed reviews but this isn't the worst or best Chinese I've ever had. Dinner was nice would recommend!

Excellent customer service and delicious food. We accidentally had our order mixed up, they sent a driver very quickly with our missing food items. All piping hot and delicious. Thank you.

Not bad, have had a lot worse Chinese takeaway. The sweet and sour sauce was way too sweet, but the salt and pepper tofu was amazing as we're the salt and pepper chips. Crispy seaweed was also a bit sweet Cash only which we didn't see on the menu so had to collect instead of delivery. Not bad

Clearly asked for NO FISH as my father is allergic! When dishing up his no 87 it was found to have prawns in! Waste of money as had to be binned, couldnt take the risk of picking the prawns out! Restaurant closed at 1130. I called 1129, 1131 no amswer, called again 1145 voicemail of there opening hours. Absolute joke. Wont be returning on my next visit to Cornwall

Ordered a takeaway on the phone for delivery, food came on time (actually just early), all was hot and tasted fresh and well-made. Would use again.

2 fresh chillies cost £1.5 which I normally pay 1 pound for a pot or free. he said or I can go supermarket to get it.very rude.soup tasteless like water

Wow! If you’re visiting St.Ives then this place should definitely be on the top of your “to-do” list, it’s superb. You won’t find better views and the decor has a real feel of luxury and relaxation. We have been coming to the locality as a couple usually twice a year, for the last 5-years or so and somehow we’ve never been here before. I’ll tell you why actually…. the menu didn’t particularly appeal to us. We hadn’t realised it’s had a re-vamp but had decided to just finally try it - and my god we’re so glad we did!!! We managed to nab a table on the balcony just after midday with far reaching views over to the three mile beach and beyond to the lighthouse 👌🏼👌🏼Having checked out menu we ordered the Surf n Turf, potato salad, then Korean Chicken with Lobster fries. Unfortunately they brought out my wife’s food and my chips, but seemed to forget my Korean Chicken…. I waited patiently and cheekily started grazing on my wife’s the steak n prawns 🤣 but it didn’t arrive. I raised it with the team after 10 mins who apologised explaining there was a mix up with tables moving or something, another 5 mins and it arrived. Shame, as the food was very, very good/tasty. I know these things can happen so I’ll let it slide this time, especially as the girls were very friendly/apologetic. We almost went back for dinner this evening to order the same dishes 🤣🤣🤣, that’s how much we enjoyed it.

We recently visited Pedn Olva for a birthday meal. This was our first time in St Ives and our first time visiting Pedn Olva. We were made to feel extremely welcome, the service was fantastic, as well as the food which was delicious! We sat up on the top for some drinks before the meal and were offered blankets to help keep warm- which was lovely! We then went downstairs where the team had reserved a lovely sea view table. They had written a birthday note and provided a birthday drink of choice on the house, which was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated. The food came out promptly and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We would 100% recommend to anyone we know who would be visiting St Ives!

Been coming here for years usually just a drink in the bar but the last 3 years we’ve eaten. The refurb looks stunning, it was already a nice place to stop and have a drink on the roof terrace or in the bar but now it is a must stop! We had surf and turf, pork belly and red Thai curry. All were really good. Service excellent - professional but friendly. The best bit- dogs are allowed in most of the areas which makes it easy for us to dine out here. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

This was our first visit since refurbishment. We went, without booking, for a Sunday evening meal and were pleased to be found a table in a busy restaurant. The views are simply magnificent. They must be one of the best in the world…yes, that good. The staff, mainly youngsters, perhaps from a local school, tried hard and were attentive and polite. However, it was rather noisy with a child crying for at least some of the time. The muzac was too loud, which inevitably encourages loud conversation. My wife’s meal was changed without notification or consultation and appeared without one menued item. Some of mine was tepid, the rest cold. The beef was not pink. To their credit when they discovered it was my birthday they waived the charge for 2 glasses of wine, which was of course much appreciated. Would I go again? Everyone deserves at least a second chance.

Fantastic breakfast! We are local to St Ives and try get to the newly refurbished Pedn Olva for breakfast whenever we can. The breakfast rolls are great wonderful with a stunning view to match over St Ives bay. The food is always fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked & the coffee is great. Crystal and Louise are incredibly friendly and attentive, both are reals credits to the Pedn Olva and a great advert for the place. Their prescence always makes the experience extra special. Highly recommended to anybody whether you’re a couple, have children or dogs.

Wow! What a stay! The hotel was beautiful with the most amazing views and added little touches. We couldn’t get over the beautiful room and view from many locations. We will definitely be back. We had a lovely evening meal. Food was delicious. There was a small mix up with our starters but the servers couldn’t have done more to make sure everything was sorted. The sticky toffee pudding was the best I have ever had! Drinks menu extensive with some unique touches. Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be returning.

Had a beautiful meal for my birthday. Had a window seat which made it that little bit more special. Katy our waitress was brilliant. Very attentive and professional. Food was delicious! Would happily come back again 😁

Service is not friendly or welcoming stood at the counter waiting to order staff all around but not one approached us while waiting. Food is bland and overpriced, salad doesn't even taste like it's been washed! if you're after a snack and not worried about quality or service then try it!

Very nice service, good and cheap food. And so close to the harbor. 😊

Had an amazing pizza here... Plenty of topping, stringy cheese, and the waitresses were really nice

Been here 4 times in the past two weeks of visiting st Ives and loved every meal. Their pizzas were amazing plenty of topping, crispy dough and freshly made. Burgers both chicken and beef were very good, plenty of filling and good quality meat. Prices were very reasonable too. I would also recommend their crepes and pinnies too. We are looking forward to coming back here next year.

Chocolate brownie and clotted cream was just the best. Also had the Pancake, Maple Syrup and Clotted cream, excellent but eat it while it's hot.

Pels is one of the best restaurants in Saint Ives! I have had burgers, pizzas, chips, and paninis here and all of them have been of great quality and very tasty. The prices here are also decent for the area and compared to other food places in the vicinity. The staff here are polite and well mannered despite being very busy. You may have to wait for up to 20 minutes for your food but it is almost always definitely worth it!

We were in St Ives for a day trip yesterday and I was desperate to have a crab sandwich. Since it was on the menu, we chose the place and it was great! My mum was with me and had a chicken and avocado with feta wrap and says it is the best food she has ever had. Beyond this, the service was swift and friendly. I was most impressed with the way staff were interacting with each other. It was extremely busy and having worked in catering myself, it could have been an extremely stressful environment. However, the staff continued to work hard and speak to each other with respect even when under pressure to get food prepared or when running out of ingredients. They truly worked as a team and that was wonderful to see.
