The 50 best cheap eats in Cornwall

Absolutely incredible food. We had heard wonderful things but it highly exceeded our expectations. We had the steak and the pork for mains and they were absolutely gorgeous, such a gem of an establishment, will be recommending to anyone in the vicinity!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. We hadn't booked and they were able to squeeze us in. I think if there were more than 2 of us it would have been tricky. So if you can, try and book for food in advance. While seated in the snug we spotted the board games and played connect 4. The food tasted great. Would go back.

My husband and I have just returned from a 2 night stay here - first time guests! We enjoyed a very relaxing experience. The annexe room was comfortable - good bed, well furnished with a roomy bathroom and it and the shower room and loo were clean , as was the bedroom and very well presented. The toiletries provided were gorgeous.The log burner was much appreciated. The menus excellent and last but not least, the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Easy parking. Hope to return.

So welcoming from the moment we stepped over the threshold. We were given a fabulous table by the window with amazing views. The front of house service was excellent and the dishes imaginative and beautifully seasoned. My belly pork was delicious. Surprising mid course entertainment as a herd of Fresian cows passed out window making their way back to the adjacent farm. Lovely experience!

Great lunch - excellent food at a great price. Toilets & restaurant really well presented, didn't see bedrooms, but sure they are the same. Fabulous location with bar, restaurant & garden.

We came for lunch when it was super busy, but the staff were so friendly (and miraculously unclustered) - we were seated and served quickly. It’s super dog-friendly with a cosy atmosphere. The fishcake was tasty, just the right size, and came with a really fresh salad. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful place, delicious food, friendly service. The decor is lovely and everything is maintained well. Our room and bathroom were a little small but we really enjoyed our stay!

A charming little seaside café, perfect for a quick grab-and-go treat. The food and drinks were pleasant, but the real highlight is the breathtaking ocean view right next to the café. There are a few small tables, creating a cozy, laid-back vibe, though seating is quite limited. It's an ideal spot if you plan to spend a lazy day by the sea, soaking up the breeze and perhaps enjoying a swim. However, if you're visiting with a tight schedule, especially on an Asian-style quick tour, it might not be the most convenient choice as the road can be tricky and parking is limited. Still, for those looking to unwind and embrace the beauty of the coast, it’s absolutely worth a visit!

This is now one of my favourite spots in Cornwall. The food was absolutely amazing. The Cornish steak pasty I had was filling and delicious, and the hazelnut hot chocolate was exactly what I needed that morning— it warmed me up in the seaside breeze and gave me the perfect boost of sweetness. The blueberry and banana muffin was moist and so tasty. I only wish I’d had the chance to try more from their menu! The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was just right, with families enjoying their holidays. You also get to enjoy a stunning beach view. It was quite windy when we visited, so I’d recommend bringing an extra layer. Overall, I loved this place and would definitely come back when I’m in the area!

Super tasty food. Small menu but it's means it's super fresh and you don't need to wait long to be served. We loved the soup with some flat breads from the pizza oven. Very quick service and such a fantastic location. It's not the cheapest but the quality of the food is great. Lovely walks along the coast and the beach is lovely.

Amazing little place set back from the beach. Note, did not sample the main menu just a slice of cake. An independent venue that serves up good looking food from what we saw. Prices looked very reasonable too. Would certainly return to try the food. Staff were very friendly and the setting was amazing

This place is a real treat. Only a few hot dishes on the menu which shows the quality of the place. Food is being cooked all the time, so after ordering you are looking at a couple of minutes wait. Excellent service and friendly people. My son had the pulled pork brioche and it was a flavour sensation.

Worth the long queue for food - had a delicious Cornish pasty. The soup and daal looked really tasty too. Get there early as the menu did have sold items by the time we arrived (about an hour until closing). Definitely worth travelling for and a highlight of our trip.

In a word "sensational". Great staff , excellent coffee, the best Portuguese custard tarts and steak pasties that I have ever tasted. We went there almost every day of our holiday in Portscatho. Congratulations to Simon and his team.

One of the best seafood dinners I’ve had! And that’s after years in Southeast Alaska. The small plates were perfect for sharing amongst us three: The sole, mackerel, and monkfish were PERFECT. The chefs really understood the textural and flavor balances of the Asian, Italian and local ingredients. The staff were great: attentive and gracious. Well done!

We had the most amazing food at POTL. Made completely by the wonderful team who were complete professionals and made the atmosphere wonderful. We were on our honeymoon and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. The food was very special, some of the best fish we've ever had. A big thank you!

Came here for a late lunch as a change from Stein and there were a lot of people here mid afternoon. It’s more of a tapas like place. There was a decent choice of quite expensive dishes. We chose one of the cheapest white wines which was still £37 a bottle then 3 dishes plus some broccoli. It took quite a bit of time for any food to appear and then came out at various times, some much longer than others. The quality and taste of the food was excellent, but there wasn’t much of it. The service was good and it had a nice ambience and feel to the place. Overall good but also expensive at >£90 for two for 4 small dishes and wine.

Every time we visit Cornwall, we make sure to book a table at this restaurant – it’s an absolute must for us. All the staff, including Rob, are exceptionally well trained and just naturally deliver fantastic customer service every single time. I honestly can’t think of anything that would make the experience better – it’s consistently excellent. The lemon sole last night was absolutely fantastic, and finishing off with four oysters for dessert was perfect. Thanks again, guys – keep up the great work, and we’ll see you soon!

Faultless experience yesterday. Very busy, but great atmosphere and excellent staff. Really nice to see many of the staff have been there for years. It’s dog friendly and the owners all keep their dogs out of the way and quiet. Best place in Padstow for sure.

A restaurant where a lot of hard work and care has clearly gone into every dish. We were able to walk in and have an amazing meal, you can tell they staff/owners want the business but they are relaxed and confident in what they are doing so you feel really welcome.

Incredible food, service… everything. Highly recommend anyone to go and try potl, they are also dog friendly which makes it so much better. The seared tuna was our favourite, just incredible.

Food is excellent, sea bass was freshly cooked and pork rib grilled to an excellent state. The beach view from balcony was fantastic and we took quite a lot photos. The service is first class. Just the price was a little bit pricy. Better to leave some time for parking the car at station car park if you come over by car.

Beautiful restaurant with a view! Very lucky to hav a sea view seat, seafood is fresh and taste great! Love the crabmeat salad, taste refreshing, I enjoy the mussels a lot, perfectly cooked and the white wine sauce is on spot! Our waiter is very nice to make sure we have been looking after! Thank you !

Every dish at Porthminster Beach Cafe (Restaurant) was superb. Squid, pork cheek, lobster and cod, fresh and faultlessly cooked and presented with wonderful friendly professional service (thankyou Shaun, you were wonderful). Brilliant restaurant with amazing views. Highly recommended. Thankyou.

Fantastic evening meal with family for a special occasion Been before so know how good it is, the food is superb, good fresh fish Service was really attentive and relaxed, and even though we had 2 young children with us there was no rush to get us out

Fabulous food! Catch of the day is super fresh, also LOVE the squid and seafood curry. Service is also nice, view is brilliant.

We booked a table for dinner at Porthminster Beach Café and were seated by the wall. I asked if we could move to an empty window table, but was told it had been booked and the guests would be arriving shortly. However, by the time we left, the table was still empty. It felt like they could have let us sit there with the understanding that we’d need to vacate by a certain time. The food was fine, but nothing particularly special. Overall, a bit disappointing given the reputation, price and location.

Porthminster Beach Café in St Ives delivers a superb dining experience in a stunning beachfront setting. A 10/10 experience, without hesitation. We visited for my wife’s birthday and were impressed by the warm, attentive service, complete with a birthday card on the table and a candle in her dessert. The highlight was the catch of the day. Red Gurnard, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. It was, without question, the best piece of fish I’ve ever had so far. While prices are premium, the quality of the food, thoughtful service, and breathtaking views make it well worth it.

A small but very cozy restaurant on the shore of an amazing beach. We came unexpectedly and did not book a table (although we should have). We asked to be placed on the street overlooking the beach, a table was prepared for us, blankets were given and our order was taken. As soon as the food was ready and served to the table, it started to rain. We were very lucky that at that moment a table inside became available, and we were quickly moved, for which I sincerely thank you. The food was, very beautifully presented, and also incredibly tasty. The service and taste of the food are simply unforgettable, we were very impressed, and as happy as possible that we came.

Had lunch with family at this place. Food was average at the best, oily fish and chips with very thin batter. Chips were cold, no tartare sauce served with fish n chips??? Expensive is the word, a total tourist trap. You can better quality and quantity in London for 12 quid....and that's London. Heee we paid 22 for cod and chips. 3 pieces of prawns in a portion, sauces(mayonnaise) charged as extra. Noodles over cooked in Pad thai, it was a mash of flat noodles.... Steer away from this place.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The King Prawn and Crab linguine was out of this world. All enjoyed their food, the staff were friendly and dog friendly during the lunch session. Definitely recommend if you love your seafood.

Had our anniversary dinner here and the staff looked after us. All food was incredible, the fish was wonderful, the homemade focaccia garlic bread was amazing too, 100% recommend and would suggest booking too as we visited on a midweek evening off season and it was still busy! Well worth a visit and if you get a nice evening the sunset is amazing!

We had read great reviews about this place and we were also suggested by some locals to go. Well, definitely a great place to eat fish in Newquay. There are not many tables, so a reservation is recommended. Nice view over Fistral beach, especially if you seat outside.

We came for lunch here during our stay in Cornwall. 23/8/2025 Wow the food was unbelievable one of our best meals out during our stay. Staff and atmosphere were fantastic. A must visit after a day of surfing or relaxing on the beach. Thank you will see you next year !!

What seems like a quaint coastal restaurant packs incredible punch in terms of menu and flavour. I wanted so many things as it all looked so good but what I chose tasted sensational. The service was fabulous too. I look forward to returning.

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 :(

Yummy, There's a que here for a reason! It's well worth the wait and queuing for. They are absolutely massive and well worth the prices asked for each one, and all are incredibly tasty. I couldn't get a photo in fear that the seagulls would attack me and steal my pastie. Apparently it's the best pasty in Looe, I possibly couldn't say as haven't tasted them all but hey it's very very good. Small shop , low beams , very clean , drinks available, other products to eat too.

What can I say, just great tasty pasties with loads of filling. The bacon, leek and cheese is a firm favourite and is a must try for anyone. The traditional is packed full with filling and is so heavy, it certainly sets you up for the day. We always visit when we are down in Looe with our Jack Russell who is warmly welcomed. One of the best pasties in Cornwall by far.

Tried 3 vegan pasties here – Thai Spicy, Chickpea, and Vegetable – and loved all three! The flavors were spot on, the fillings generous, and the jumbo size makes it perfect for a hearty meal. The crust is different from other pasties I’ve had – flakier and full of character, which adds to the overall taste. Definitely a must-visit for vegan pasty lovers! One thing to note: the opening hours listed on Google Maps weren’t accurate during our visit. I’m uploading a photo to help others with the correct timing. Highly recommend this place – worth the stop!

Recommended by a local shopkeeper, we stopped by for lunchtime pasties. Three of us opted for the cheese and onion flavoured ones whilst my husband went for the Thai Butternut squash one. Decent sized and none of us could finish ours, so the leftovers were recycled into another meal. We also bought an apple pasty that was equally as delicious as the savoury ones.

Absolutely amazing Cornish pasties. We had 4 different ones, including the gluten free pasty (ordered the day before). All were excellent, both in size and taste. Will definitely be returning when we are near Looe!

Have had Sarah’s a few times over the years and hate to say it but this was the worst pasty I’ve ever had. Half way in and have come across the smallest bit of meat. They use to be juicy, meaty and full of flavour this just tastes like potato there is no seasoning wat so ever it’s so bland. And to top it off the lady behind the counter serving was rude and had no customer services skills acting like she didn’t want to be there. Will not be retuning as it’s a 2hr 30min round trip and was highly disappointed. It’s a shame because these pasty’s have always been top tier and delicious.

Where is the meat? Really disappointing after the reviews, we bought the lamb and mint and traditional and both where lacking in meat, add to that they where both dry and lacked seasoning. Lady serving seemed a bit fed up as well slapping the pasties on the counter when she was serving people.

It was a rainy day but perfect for a spot of breakfast with friends. We chose this as it had great reviews. The staff were delightful and very friendly in this cosy little place. The food was really tasty and very good portions. I would definitely go again and take our dog as it’s also pup friendly!

My partner and I visited on Saturday - he highly recommends the bacon sandwich with stilton, and I had the best scone of my life! Sam and Geoff are genuinely lovely and I think this really creates a warm and chilled atmosphere. A lovely little cafe which truly stood out as one of the best cafe experiences I have ever had. Would 100% recommend :))))

Such a fantastic cafe, the warmness and friendliness of the owner was exceptional. 100% the best Cornish cream tea I've had, I can't recommend this place enough, just check the opening times as we almost missed out and arrived just before closing time.

The best local cafe with best satisfaction service by a very friendly lady. Hidden in a small street. Awesome service. Food so delicious and have real taste. Atmosphere is very calm with great vibes. All I really enjoy but Scones were top notch. Thanks for such nice hospitality

Not leaving reviews very often but the lady was exceptionally nice and we've really enjoyed english breakfast. Very good quality and value for money. Great cosy place.It's a shame I live far away as I would be visiting this place regularly.

Is a small cafe with 5 tables only. We were lucky to be number 3 to entry at 9am. Order bacon and egg sandwiches and sausage and egg sandwiches. Baby had child breakfast. Bread was thick slice, egg was runny spot on, sausage was locally sourced, chocolate milkshake was lovely. It was good overall. Please prepare cash as sometime the machine didn't work out. Sam was super friendly.

We ate at Daisy’s Cafe today and absolutely LOVED IT! The food was delicious -we had the vegetarian breakfast and a scone!! The atmosphere was impeccable and the staff had some of the friendliness and most accommodating hospitality we’ve come across in ages -we’d come back just to see and speak to the lovely lady who served us! :)) Would definitely recommend (we recommend the scones too) xx 🫶🏼☺️🤎

I am reviewing the restaurant. The food and wine I ordered was delicious and served promptly. The waitstaff however seemed unprofessional and indifferent. They took orders and then ignored you as someone else delivered the food. Tip is included in the price so there is little incentive to do anything. My server never even came back to ask if I wanted dessert. I did, but i got so tired of waiting (15-20 minutes after my plate was cleared) that I just got up and paid my bill at the bar and left. It’s too bad. The food was really lovely. But the poor service ruined my experience.

What a great pub in a stunning location! The outdoor space is the highlight, being able to relax and look out to the calming sea whilst enjoying one of the many drinks on offer. Equally the inside area was cosy and welcoming for when the night draws in. We didn't eat on this occasion but the food looked tasty and would definitely return to try the offering.

Ate here one evening during our stay in Sennen, so can't say anything about the rooms, but everything else about it was lovely. The interior is picturesque and stands out from the normal seaside pub aesthetic common in Cornwall. The view out to the sea is amazing, especially from the well-maintained decking. And of course the food was wonderful - nothing overly fancy and not a huge menu but what they do is done very well.

Visited the restaurant (we weren't staying at the hotel so can't comment on that aspect) for our evening meal, and it was very enjoyable. Very pretty-looking interior with a lovely view out over the sea if seated outside. Food was delicious - I had the chicken, which was very tender and juicy, and my husband had the battered haddock, which he enjoyed. The only downside is that the menu is quite small but The Old Coastguard is definitely worth a visit and we would eat there again.

Good spot! We stopped here for lunch, the team at the restaurant were super accommodating although they were very stretched - we got food before drinks and it took a while to order. The food was good overall - the pate had a bit too much wine for my personal taste, the crab pasta is actually fantastic but ruined by the unpeeled confit tomatoes… if you’re going to confit a tomato, especially for longer than usual, please peel it.

Eavan helped us and arranged everything on our first day to the hotel. She was perfect! Not only she did well, the whole hotel especially the staff were perfect! I was a head hunter in hospitality industry before retirement. If I came here before I retired, I certainly could have a list of targets now! They deserved an increase in salary. I just wonder how the management can train staff like them. The wonderful team of this hotel is not serving but making you feel like home!

Delightful restaurant serving classic British food with a modern flair. Hearty sunday lunches, tasty vegetarian dishes, traditional ales. Service very friendly if a little too busy when we visited. Car park and public car park nearby which is a definite bonus in Mousehole.

Saw this place on Rate my takeaways channel on YouTube, who gave Nice Baps a pretty good review and so decided to visit myself. Was not disappointed. The menu is quite varied for a small roadside burger shack. Staff friendly when ordering. Prices seemed very reasonable. Decided to have the Atlantic burger, which took around 10 mins to arrive. Waited at the outside seating. When the burger arrived, it looked brilliant. Two thick perfectly cooked, juicy yet charred patties, which were side by side, not stacked, 2 slices of thick cut perfectly cooked bacon, loads of cheddar cheese, and the obligatory salad, all in a bap with ketchup and mayo. This burger was excellent. So tasty. We will definitely be returning to give their local produce cooked breakfast a go next time. Also, the hot dog looks amazing, so that's on the list too. They really do have Nice Baps!

The team always stops for food when they are working. Great food and atmosphere to keep them going throughout the day! Would always highly recommend as it’s definitely one of the highlights of Cornwall!

Excellent food, excellent service ! Kev is a top bloke! Always makes us feel welcome. Great to see Laura again! Recommend anyone to pop by and try nice baps 😄😄❤️

Best Location for a good Burger or the foot long Hot Dog! Trying the Apple Juice is highly recommended. Extremely good, very kind and funny service.

Atlantic burger was top notch, absolutely delicious and soooo worth it for the price! Would I recommend? No, coz I want it all 😅

Great place established business of 18 years. Kev the joint owner is a great host and totally spoiled my daughter. Can see he enjoys what he does. Hearing vehicles tooting there horns when going past you know with places is loved. Food is great and would highly recommend it.

We came across this delightful little find and i must say what a real nice take away sandwich bar it is. The owner was extremely hospitable, his knowledge was second to none in places to visit, and as for the Nice Baps, well worth every penny, myself and my husband had the Atlantic Bap with a twist and my daughter had the foot long sausage bap. Everything was cooked fresh and as you waited the owner spoke to you giving you advice on where to go on a day trip. I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Nice Baps ☺️

Popped in for breakfast during our stay in Newquay. I chose this place because of the menu options. When I'm in England, I always order 4 fried eggs, 2 black puddings, and 2 sausages for breakfast every day. The breakfast did not disappoint. The staff were great and chatted us up about our trip. The price was under 14 pounds. I highly recommend eating here. All of the bakery items looked outstanding. I'll be back when I am in the area again.

While browsing for places to eat in Cornwall I came across cafe could drawn in by its Vegan afternoon tea And a must have in Cornwall of course so me and my parents went for breakfast on a Sunday morning after strolling to Fistral beach worked up an appetite to let the dog run off some steam before eating as they’re dog friendly so he could come too Inside is small and quickly with a welcoming cafe vibe decorated in clouds which is very fitting My parents got a small breakfast with orange juice which they enjoyed , good quality ingredients and customise to what you like and I had a Warm fresh large scone with Jam and coconut cream ( the debate which goes first ?) Paired with Cornish tea and soya milk They Cater for allergens and different dietary ( if it wasn’t so early in the morning I probably would of got a waffle too ) Just what you need , quick , easy and tasty The staff were friendly and efficient me and my mum even got bracelets that were handmade One thing to note which was a shock there is No toilet so need to find in the area

Fantastic little cafe with friendly staff and lots of gluten free options for my coeliac wife. The gluten free cream tea was amazing! Worth a visit

This is a must go to place!!! Absolutely scummy food and fully knowledgeable and cater for gluten free and vegan! The staff are unbelievably friendly and helpful and the food is amazing!! Dont hesitate to visit! We had jacket potato and vegan cheese, gluten free vegan waffles and vegan cream tea which was gluten free. The coffee is also soon good!

Popped in to pick up some pasties for tea whilst we were visiting Newquay for the day. Ordered a gluten free steak pasty, regular steak pasty and 2 cheese and onion pasties. Made fresh as were hot when handed to us and very nice. Recommended.

Had an absolutely amazing brunch here. The food was delicious and the staff were really lovely and ever so helpful with making sure my food was gluten free and vegan and explaining how they have a separate area for gluten free with separate utensils and boards etc. I had a cooked breakfast and then the waffles which were Out Of This World! And are freshly made in store. I also took a frozen pasty home which I can’t wait to try. I definitely recommend (plus they are dog friendly)

Absolutely amazing this was a chocolate fudge cake best cake I’ve ever tried 10/10 recommend it visit cafe cloud to see cake before eating

A great restaurant with beautiful flavours. We stopped for lunch on a visit to the town, it was not too busy and is dog friendly. They have a few areas, down stairs, upstairs that also had a bar and restrooms and they have a little glass room area. We had a small dog and there were also other dogs, we were able to sit in the glass room which gave us a beautiful view of the streets. We had 2 pizzas between 4 people and they were absolutely amazing, by far the best I have had and the flavours in these pizzas were incredible! I would definitely recommend for dinner or lunch and would 100% go back again. The staff were very friendly and made the experience really amazing. They loved dogs which made it such a dog friendly restaurant. As you walk in, you can also see the pasta being hand made! If you like, you can also see Paul Ainsworth’s cookbook.

What a treat. We managed to get a table for lunch by some careful juggling by the lovely front of house chap. The food was devine - I scooped out every bit of my truffle mayonnaise I had with the arancini as it was too good to leave. However everyone one of our dishes were just superb and the three of us were sharing each other’s picks just to get a taste of the lovely dishes. No room for pud so we’ll shave that treat for next time. I also had one of the best americanos I’ve ever had. Prices were very reasonable and at a level that sits just below treat level so more frequent trips are very much on the cards. However, there some little things that also set this place above others. Tables that could seat four were set for two so you didn’t feel like you were taking up seats from others. Service was discreet but very friendly. The head of house asking how our starters were after they had been cleaned away but he knew who had what. Another touch was the baby changing table in the gents - still a rarity these days. The place also wasn’t cramped. There was obviously a greater concern over patron’s experiences rather than cramming tables in to make more money. Well done Mr Ainsworth, many could learn from you. We’ll be back.

Absolutely fantastic food service and ambience what more can you ask for. Been 3 times always good need to book.. The ribs of the scale, Arancini delicious and squid perfection, wine superb will be back. We took our dog so your seated in the front please please fit ceiling blinds as when sunny and hot it does get very hot and sunny. This is I know not a problem for people without dogs but we would off had desserts coffees and probably another bottle of wine.. 10-10 will return

We pre-booked for a Thursday evening meal and were seated right away. Being a birthday meal, the restaurant also provided a handwritten card which was a very nice touch. Very attentive service and delicious food across all 3 courses. The restaurant has a premium feel whilst still feeling like a place that you can feel comfortable and relaxed in. A fantastic spot in Padstow and we'll definitely be popping in again next time we're down. Highly recommend the cabbage side dish, ox cheek ragu and the whoopsy splunker!

We've often walked past this restaurant but were always hesitant to go in, as it looked quite expensive. We finally decided to try it for lunch today, and we're glad we did. While it is on the pricey side, the excellent food and service were well worth it. The only disappointment was the coffee. It was clearly from an automatic machine, which is something you don't expect from a restaurant of this calibre.

Excellent food. The service wasn't great which considering it wasn't busy was a little disappointing. It was cold inside the restaurant.

We were in the outer area Under glass roof and although pleasant a little cramped. Some confusion regarding starters and mains and l think l had two starters, it was sorted and we settled down to some nice tasty meal. Our waitress was l believe in trading but she was very pleasant and did a good job.

This is without doubt the best cafe in the U K in my experience. One of the best in the world that I have visited. If a cafe could be awarded a Michelin star this would deserve it. I had an English breakfast, top class. My partner had the vegetarian version which was incredible, truly superb. Restaurants should use this as a standard for vegetarian meals as mostly the veggie options are an afterthought. I applaud the Fat Apples staff for the high standard of food and for their impeccable service and politeness.

Just back from a fantastic birthday lunch and the salads are just amazing… followed by a huge meringue with delicious raspberry coulis, sorbet and a candle in the top as it is my birthday. Impromptu singing from the staff added to the occasion. What a great place this is!! Good mix of locals and visitors here today too which was lovely to see!

A sweet family run cafe with an eclectic feel! Friendly staff, great food! We had a polenta cake (home made) and a bacon bap with coffee. Both excellent and beautifully served. The breakfast looked amazing. I heard another customer compliment them for the vegetarian breakfast. I will have to go back when I am a bit more hungry (my bacon bap was on top of my earlier breakfast at home!)

Such lovely delicious food! You can just tell how much time and effort has gone in to making these gorgeous salads! All whole foods! Couldn’t recommend enough

Very tasty food, great to have sautéed potatoes along side a bacon roll. The coffee was very good, and served by cafetière to table as opposed to a coffee machine at the counter. Look forward to going back again.

Delicious food, great service and atmosphere. Worth the walk up the hill. Very accommodating and did us something that wasn’t on the menu. Highly recommended

Wonderful food, lovely people, great campsite, clean facilities, what more could you ask for after 17 miles on the SWCP, heaven. If only all sites were like this, thank you.

Excellent food , seasonal, much of it grown on site or using high quality local suppliers. Innovative soft drinks (seasonal cordials/shrubs/kombuchas) as well as cider made on site and good wine list. Goats curd confit garlic and broad bean toast was excellent as well as the pizzas and salami / cod’s roe. High quality baked goods too available to buy from the counter (blood orange cake was excellent) but don’t hang around as they seem to sell out fast! Service a little on the slow side but it was clearly a busy service on a hot day (one meal was missed and was quite delayed but was taken off the bill, thank you). Beautiful courtyard and off the beaten track. Dog friendly. Would recommend and return.

Food was superb, place was beautiful & staff were so lovely, I had requested my menu be 'pregnancy friendly' & they were so attentive. Was a real treat that finished off our holiday perfectly. Just disappointed I didn't get to try out their pantrys menu during the day, but I have a feeling we'll be back again next summer to sample more!

Visited as a couple in June 2022. Fabulous food and service. Seasonal and local produce excellently cooked and served. Some unusual and very nice sustainable wines. Very good experience. Loved it.

Booked on-line do not aware it was now a fixed price menu, what a fantastic experience. Love the focus on sustainable foods, chef canoe out to tell us all what was on the menu, added to the whole experience. Congratulations to the team. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful dinner New Yard gave 9 of us . Delicious fresh fare - excellent explanations of menu, great menu choices which appealed to each of us & service was excellent . Thoroughly recommend . Oh & the restaurant has really light & pretty decor . Well done New Yard & thank you !

Delicious tasting menu in a beautiful intimate setting. This was one of our favourite meals in the Falmouth area. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. Will definitely be back when we are down there next.

We had a wonderful Sunday Roast here after attending a foraging event the day before. The food was absolutely delicious and all the staff were friendly and enthusiastic about food being served here. Well worth visiting if you’re in the area!

Had a really tasty dinner here. Beautiful building inside and out. Fresh homemade pasta and some lovely wines. We brought our kids too and they offered either pesto or beef ragu pasta which was perfect alongside a foccacia we ordered.

Beautiful food and cocktails. We went for lunch and were able to take our dog. Everything was cooked to perfection. Would love to return again.

Highly recommend Appletons for a fresh Cornish dining experience! Amazing dishes designed excellently to match the local palate. Staff looked after us very well and were highly knowledgeable. Hats off to the chef though, bravo! We’ll be coming back.

So happy we tried this place. We got lunch and brought our little, which I was a bit worried about because this place was so fancy. However they were very accommodating with the baby and the space was bigger than expected. On top of that the food was amazing, even the baby's pesto pasta which was a huge portion so we ate some of it. Everything we tried was 10/10. Some lamb shoulder and squash pasta both exceptional. I wish we had more time to come here again to try more.

Superb dinner. Helpful communication when booking online and needed to modify the booking. Spacious & calm atmosphere, excellent service and superb food. Dog friendly, too. Just getting into their stride after initially opening just before Mar 20 - definitely one to watch as they settle in.

Spacious and relaxed atmosphere, with a carefully crafted menu and everything made in the open kitchen on-site. Really friendly waiting staff, and every last plate was stunning, both presentation and taste. We even got cocktails to takeaway - which were excellent. Highly recommend a stop - with booking advised.

Great restaurant, fantastic food and friendly staff. Dog friendly down stairs. Parking seems to be a bit of a nightmare and very busy slim steep streats. We'll worth a visit if you can afford it worked out to around £270 for four people with starter, main and dessert.

So amazing, went on my own and didn’t feel lonely all night. Well looked after but not fussed over. The food was delicious too, nothing to fault whatsoever. I would highly recommend this place, it really is brilliant. The level of attention to detail is remarkably, very impressive.

I won't say anything new to others but just wanted to reiterate that this is a MUST MUST MUST if you're in Falmouth! Absolutely delicious beers from Verdant brewery (best IPAs we've tried to date - and we've tried a lot!) and absolutely delicious food! The staff were also really friendly and welcoming and although we had to wait a little bit to get a table the guy there made sure to come out every 5-10 minutes to give us an update on what tables were about to finish. Thanks team! We loved it there!! And hopefully will be back!!

I’ve been to The Verdant Seafood Bar twice now and both times it was delightful. The service is friendly, relaxed, not rushed. We felt really welcome & looked after. The food is incredible! The fish finger butty is always brilliant, but most recently I also tried the soused mackerel and it was fantastic. So flavourful and interesting. I can’t wait to come back & try more dishes. To drink I had a glass of the picpoul and it was lovely. It really complimented the fish. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Wow - what an Experience! I‘m a big Fan of Verdant Beers and Ales so had to visit the Seafood Bar when in Falmouth/Penryn. So my Wife an me ordered some Dishes. They were all exceptionally good! The Beers don‘t need to be mentionened 😂😍

One of the best meals I’ve had in my life. Every single dish was incredible. The pollock crudo, fish finger butty, fish tacos, loaded crab fries…and the Kimchi fritters!?! My goodness. A few beers and a sweet, sparkling cider. Delicious. Incredible

Amazing food but pricy, especially considering the small portions. The place is cozy and service friendly but they could use some proper chairs instead of the small stools with no back support. The beer is what it’s all about and the ones we tried were good but the food really takes the price.

My wife and I popped into Verdant Seafood Bar on a Thursday lunchtime. We had seen the good reviews but weren't sure what to make of the place initially as it's very unassuming from the outside. Despite the mild-mannered facade we found a fantastic little restaurant that we were very happy to have taken a chance on. If you enjoy small plate, relaxed, tapas style dining then this place is a must. The kimchi fritters were great, the hake was beautiful and rich and the mackerel we had was so fresh and vibrant, it was genuinely one of the nicest things I've eaten in a long time. The fish taco was the only item that didn't meet the same standard as everything else; they were a bit greasy and lacking in flavour. This really was a minor blip though. The service was perfect for us: attentive but not overbearing and the drinks were great as well. The atmosphere is chilled and cozy whilst also accommodating kids. Frankly we're gutted we don't live closer so we can go more often!

Just had one of the best meals I've ever had at Crocadon Farm. The amazing flavours came from unusual and delicious herbs and fascinating varieties of vegetables grown on the farm, with fish from the coast and the most succulent lamb, also reared on the farm. It wholeheartedly deserves its Michelin star and Michelin green star. It is an amazing operation and very much worth a detour if passing via Plymouth into Cornwall.

Best restaurant I have ever been to. Atmosphere was amazing, really put in effort over the soft drinks which was nice when i was driving.

Absolutely astonishing food, the presentation was first class, the tastes were explosive. The staff were relaxed yet attentive to detail. The duty of care to our dietary needs was exceptional. A well deserved Michelin star 🌟 Well done all 🥰

Very disappointing I had a breakfast roll takeaway which was the only choice except cakes. It said belly pork and egg with hot sauce. It was a very small roll with an egg and a slither of belly pork that was no thicker than a rasher of bacon and for that privilege I paid a whopping £10. I could not taste the hot sauce. Sorry but this is well overpriced and in my opinion not worth half the price.

Nothing short of spectacular. I had the lunch menu (£45) and was blown away by the creativity of the chefs (fermented peas with a horseradish-like herb… Charred gem lettuce with flower butter… different bits of the same lamb, to show the scope, with a glossy curd-like beetroot paste…) but also the execution. The open kitchen bares all. Yet the team is composed, calm and efficient like a well-oiled machine. I walked up a number of times to ask the head chef about how he cooked something and he’d show me patiently. And finally, a shout out to the products: weird and wonderful flowers, endemic wheats and lambs reared with so much attention that the meat on your plate comes with a name and a biography. This was easily on of the best meals in my life.

Just had a lovely breakfast of comfit of pork belly & fried egg in a roll here. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, locally sourced food. Will definitely be returning! 💕☕🍔🐖🐓

Excellent food and service. Tremendous experience. Great location. Wonderful tastes and colour. Would definitely go again. Good value too. NB. The lack of dishes recommended were due to different options on our visit. Mussels brilliant. Gooseberry, elderflower desert an explosion of taste.

Perfect! We were greeted at the door by a charming Frenchman. All of the Staff were extremely professional and friendly. The food was amazing, inventive and traditional alike. Very reasonably priced Well done Paul, Emma and the team

Went for dinner here while staying in Rock and was wowed by the food and service! The restaurant is set overlooking the sea and the feel is very relaxed and down to earth focusing on local drinks and produce to a very high standard. To eat we shared a scotch egg, chicken curry and gem salad side. All were exceptional! The scotch egg and curry where some of the best we have ever had! Service was also lovely and super genuine. Couldn't recommend enough if you are in Rock or looking for a proper gastropub in North Cornwall. Also thought it was very good value and reasonably priced for the outstanding quality!

Had a fabulous lunch here. The food was outstanding. Service good and lovely views. The anniversary card was a lovely touch. Highly recommend.

Good restaurant but nothing great about it. Menu very poor, especially in seafood and fish options. We had monkfish that was ok but nothing great to justify the price. The goat cheese was really good. We had a tomato salad from the special menu that was weird and disappointing. The wine was warm and we asked ice to be added to the bucket. The young stuff that served our table really nice and helpful, however we felt rushed there.

A joy, good staff , aware of their clients. My partner has some mobility issues, so ensured she had somewhere to sit whilst waiting for our table. Good traditional food options, great deserts with custard 🍮

Wow, what can I say? We've wanted to come here for ages and was so pleased to be able to book a table for lunch and bring our labrador along during our holiday in Cornwall. Earlier in our stay, we'd booked a table at Rick Stein's pub in St Merryn and left feeling pretty disappointed. The staff at that place could learn an awful lot from those at The Mariners! From our arrival, which was half an hour early, to the moment we left, the staff were absolutely brilliant. The perfect balance of attentiveness without intrusiveness and made us (even our lab!) feel very welcome. The food was outstanding, honestly - every single bite was simply delicious. The best squid I've ever had, and so well presented. Our mains were the monkfish and lamb rump, followed by the pineapple and brown butter sponge with the most amazing custard. Overall, the staff, the location, the pub, the food and drinks made this whole experience a real treat. It is going to be a firm fixture for future trips to Cornwall. Cannot wait to return!

It was our first time trying The Mariners and it was fab! We got a good table by the front window overlooking the bay and outside seating so we could enjoy the lovely evening. I didn’t catch her name but there was one lady handling the bar and orders on her own downstairs and she did an awesome job, was proper on top of everything and was friendly too. The food was amazing! So tasty and really interesting options too. Not the cheapest but for the name attached to the pub it’s not surprising, but also very fair because the food was extremely well done. The chicken thigh madras curry in particular was delicious. It was quite loud at times so occasionally difficult to hear each other, but overall a great atmosphere. Will gladly return one day!

Super experience, walking round the farm before dining. Seeing the fruit, veg and animals in situte. Very informative staff, beautifully presented , and extremely tasty food. I'd go again !

This is a beautiful place for a quiet few days away. Really well presented rooms with high-end fittings and a really comfortable bed. I didn't eat at the restaurant on-site but when I saw the dishes coming out I wish I had. Ingredients used are from the farm itself and wandering around the vegetable garden and poly-tunnel are a joy in itself. I love that they also use their own Dexter and Mangalica meat and the animals look very contented.

On the second day after my arrival I said to my friends: if you want to give me a great gift, allow me to work here on the farm for 3 months, for free, just to see and learn how they live and work with, for and from nature! Work in and for the nature! But as a guest: feel in paradise! The winding road finally leads us to the farm / hotel. A young, easy-going gentleman comes up to us and kindly asks if we would like to check in. He leads us to the main house, where he first introduces us to the lower floor. Here we find a large, cosy living room with a fireplace, a library with a bar full of local curiosities, a games room with a large table and finally a kitchen where we can brew ourselves some tea or coffee. Then the rooms ... just perfectly cosy and elegant all in one. Technically well equipped but even more important are the many small details to discover. The view of the green through the windows and the music of the birds in the morning let yourself go smooth. A first walk around the farm, the surrounding countryside and the garden reveals an overwhelming array of greenery and wildlife. I think the city gardener would have a heart attack when he sees this perceived chaos in the garden beds, but a closer look reveals an extraordinarily modern, nature-orientated concept and thus an incredibly rich result of synergies. In the deep grass, lively chickens poke their heads out curiously and you can hear a contented grunt from the forest. I almost had to laugh when I discovered the pigs digging for roots with their permanent curl-like bristles between the trees. Old, very old oaks and modern solar cell fields provide a respectful contrast. But it was the dinner in the evening, including the English wine, that made us realise the true richness of this place. A variety that you could only guess at on the tour the day before, and this modern and creatively realised. I can't go into all the details that we enjoyed ... you just have to experience it for yourself. A kitchen, on the one hand casual and on the other hand the best and most sophisticated for a long time. Talking to a chef in the garden the next day taught me another lesson ...they know their job! By the way: breakfast and bread ...the good things just keep on coming. As I said, I would love to be an apprentice here!

We came for a birthday dinner and had the most wonderful experience. The food and service were faultless. Everything was simple and seasonal and perfectly executed. Will be back!

Came for dinner, it was superb, both for us and our vegan daughter. Service fantastic, ambience great, well worth a bisit

Well locations in this area is never too great, it’s a drive only location - but! Worth the travel and the effort! The setup is amazing - right in a middle of the farm, beautiful presented. Amazing amazing amazing! 10/10.

Cracking place to get away for a long weekend. Amazing the amount of produce they offer from farm to table. From the food box in your room to the food on your plate.

The cafe lives up its reviews. The food was unique and tasty, and the service was good. It was a busy day, and after a parking nightmare, we were an hour late - but they called me, and they accommodated us. Even in the restaurant we had to move table and they were super proactive and helpful.

Absolutely superb breakfast, in a wonderful cafe with incredible views. The place is amazing, sat on the cliff face with the beach and sea right opposite, the views are superb. They have various seating areas, inside, in the pods (recommended) or on the benches on the lower level. The service was immaculate, they look after you, are set up with colouring kits for kids etc. We both had the Build Your Own breakfasts with various items. All were superb. Really really good. Cannot recommend highly enough and we’ll be back for a lunch or dinner in the next day or so. Loved it. Edited the review to reflect that we also had our evening meal here. And what a place! If you book at the right time you get to see a stunning sunset. Food wise the evening menu was delicious. We really enjoyed it. We shared scallops, pork tacos, crispy sea bass, tortilla, tomato and moz salad. The little fella had, as usual, chicken and chips.

Amazing food with an even better view! We tried the tapas — halloumi, crab croquettes, scallops, and beetroot salad — all delicious, the scallops were a first for me (and did not disappoint!). Perfect spot to relax with a drink while looking out over Porthmeor Beach.

Fabulous! Definitely one of our new favourite spot in Cornwall to enjoy the ocean view and good quality food! Service impeccable! We spend around £40/50 pp because we had 2 beers and 2 glasses of Prosecco, otherwise we would have spent around £30 each tasting quality food! Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our breakfast here three mornings during our visit to St Ives. The food is excellent and the service was fantastic. We had a table inside right above the beach and it was a lovely way to start the day. I had my first cream tea ever in England and it was delicious.

Had dinner with friends here on our last night in St Ives. We booked a pod that came with spectacular views of the beach and a beautiful sunset. The food was really good, the star of the show was the crispy sea bass but was impressed with all the dishes we had. Service was faultless, nothing was too much trouble. Anyone who visits here will be in for a treat but make sure you book in advance as it gets very busy.

Amazing restaurant over looking the delightful porthmeor beach. Worth a visit to watch sunset, surfing, and seagulls. Delicious food, great service and good value. Will be back!

Terrible experience. We went to Ardor in St. Ives because it’s listed in the Michelin Guide, but it turned out to be one of the worst dinners we’ve had in the area – and honestly, one of the most disappointing ever. The service was downright embarrassing: we waited forever just to place our order, and even longer just to ask for drinks. There was zero attention to the customer and no professionalism. When we raised a concern about the poor quality of the food, we were dismissed with a cold and uninterested “I’m sorry.” No effort to understand or fix the issue. As for the food – absolutely below par. The main courses (octopus and prawns) were clearly defrosted, tasteless, and miles away from the freshness you’d expect in a seaside town like St. Ives. Nothing on the plate justified the high prices on the menu. The final bill was just the cherry on top: overpriced and completely unjustifiable given the poor quality of both food and service. Bottom line: avoid this place. Ardor relies entirely on appearances, but has nothing of substance to offer. There are many much better and more authentic restaurants in St. Ives, serving fresh local fish daily and offering genuine hospitality. This place is just a big disappointment.

Wow ! This place is off the charts ! Food was so delicious. A great comprehensive menu and locally sourced specials. So many good dishes we struggled to choose. Cocktails were on another level and service was on point. The head chef even had time to talk us through his kitchen and inspiration. There is even a bespoke vegan menu . St Ives is lucky to have a gem like this and we look forward to our next visit . Thankyou

The food and drinks were nice, we ordered a variety from the tapas menu and enjoyed all food we ate. The reason I have given 3 stars is the price and service charge add on. We had another tapas style meal earlier in the week and the food was just a good but half the price at the end for roughly the same amount of food per person. And then to add on a discretionary service charge at 12.5% at the end i would really be expecting outstanding service from start To finish to feel justified to pay that, although none of the staff were rude service with a smile goes a long way. Overall all for what we paid per head it just doesn’t live up to the price point.

Had dinner here tonight and everything was delicious! We ordered a few plates and shared between two. Really good value and great location. Lovely staff as well! I’d definitely be back! I would recommend booking though as it’s popular!

We had an amazing experience at Ardor! The staff were super friendly, very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu and specials, and were happy to give recommendations if necessary. We ordered a mix of small plates and mains. We have nothing bad to say about any of the dishes, they were all delicious. The standouts for us were the pork belly pinxtos and the lamb kebab. For the quality of the food and service, the price was very reasonable. This is definitely worth a visit in St Ives!

A superb dining experience in a beautiful restaurant, served by wonderful friendly staff. We sat at the kitchen pass and enjoyed watching Chef Grant and team produce our flawless meals. An absolute gem in St Ives. Highly recommended.

We went to Ardor St Ives for a special dinner, and they took us on a magnificent journey of flavors. The menu, with its Mediterranean cuisine blended with Spanish and Argentinian influences, allows you to experience very distinct notes from a single plate. For starters, we had the truffle mushrooms, Jamón croquettes, and burrata with peach, all of which were fantastic. The olives I tasted here were among the most delicious I've ever had. However, the star of the night was definitely the dry-aged rib eye. The harmonious distribution of fat and the level of aging were perfect. In every slice, the meat was incredibly juicy and tender. This is a Michelin candidate for me. Thank you for a wonderful dinner accompanied by a Spicy Margarita. I hope to visit again soon.

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.

The Watering Hole is a nice bar in the middle of Peranporth Bay Beach with plenty of seating both in and outside. It faces towards some amazing cliff arches that you can walk through to other arches, Caves and another part of the beach. The beach itself is patrolled by Lifeguards and is child friendly where the water comes in as the tide goes out far. Many people bring beach tents and wind breaks. However the seagulls are a menace and will have your food in a blink of an eye if you are careless.

Amazing bar and restaurant on the beach! A must when in Cornwall. Friendly staff, good quality cocktails and tasty squid and nachos which are fair portions. Live music acts!

Great location on Perranporth beach, the addition of the upstairs terrace is brilliant! Great choice of beer and drinks. Good is ordered and collected from dedicated points, which is good. Food was good, not a lot of choice but value for money Staff were so great. Definitely worth a visit.

The Watering Hole on Perranporth beach is a popular spot. At high tide the sea comes very close to the large outdoor seating area. It frequently has live music events to which dogs are not welcome but are welcome at all other times. There are bars upstairs and downstairs with a large veranda. The newly built extension contains public toilets and an outdoor shower for beach goers. I have docked one star only for the fact that customers need a fat wallet when visiting. It is far from cheap. A simple Doombar will cost £5.30 per pint. There are other bars close to the beach but they also are not cheap. Overall the Watering Hole is a great asset to the beach, as a local I just wish it was more affordable. Great for holiday makers for food and drink, pleasant views and dog friendly. Just make sure you have plenty of money.

The Nest is a fantastic new addition perched right above The Wateringhole, sitting quite literally on Perranporth beach. It offers a perfect mix of relaxed dining and lively nightlife, making it a must-visit spot whether you’re in for a chilled afternoon or a buzzing evening out. Downstairs, you can grab crowd-pleasers like pizza and burgers — great beachside comfort food that hits the spot. But the real gem is upstairs: the rooftop bar. The vibes are brilliant, with a laid-back coastal feel during the day and a lively energy at night when the DJ takes over. Cocktails are a highlight here — creative, refreshing, and beautifully made, they’re exactly what you want to sip while watching the sun dip into the Atlantic. Combined with the views and atmosphere, it’s hard to beat. Overall, The Nest nails that balance of casual dining and rooftop sophistication, making it one of the best places to eat, drink, and unwind in Perranporth. Highly recommended!

The Watering Hole: Where the Sun Sets, the Cider Flows, and Even the Dogs Look Chuffed With Themselves The Watering Hole on Perranporth Beach is one of those places that somehow manages to feel both legendary and completely relaxed at the same time, and it lives up to its name every single time we visit. You don’t just go to the Watering Hole; you experience it. And you usually leave a little happier (and a little more full) than when you arrived. First off, the drinks. The ales are proper, the famous Rattler cider does exactly what it promises (in that slightly “woah, that’s stronger than I thought” kind of way), and everything feels fresh, well-kept, and served with a smile. If you’re after a beachside pint, you’re in the right place , no question. The food is exactly what you want from a place like this, tasty, fast, no-nonsense dishes you can happily enjoy either perched outside with the sea breeze in your hair or inside where it’s warm and full of atmosphere. Good mix of quick bites and satisfying plates, nothing too fussy, just reliably good. And the setting? Honestly unbeatable. On a proper summer’s evening, sat outside gazing out as the sun sets over the sand, drink in hand, it’s like someone designed it specifically for Instagram (and your soul). Even when the Cornish weather decides to misbehave, inside is still brilliant, cosy but lively, with sports on the screens if that’s your thing, plenty of space to eat, chat, and soak up the vibe. And of course, the dogs. The Watering Hole is fully dog-friendly, which means you can bring your furry mate along and nobody bats an eyelid when they park themselves under your table looking smug. So if you find yourself on Perranporth Beach and fancy great drinks, tasty food, friendly staff, and a view that will make you wonder why you don’t move here full-time… The Watering Hole is waiting. Legendary by name, legendary by nature.

Brilliant place! Very busy but got served quickly. Got told 45 min wait for food which was fine but arrived much quicker. Brilliant atmosphere and very reasonably priced to say where you are! Definitely be back

Fantastic Experience at The Rum & Crab Shack! We had an absolutely brilliant time at The Rum & Crab Shack! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome – their friendly and attentive service really set the tone for a wonderful afternoon. And the food? Simply delicious! We enjoyed every bite. Plus, we were lucky enough to get a table by the window, and the sea view was just stunning, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Highly recommend The Rum & Crab Shack for anyone looking for great food, a warm welcome, and beautiful scenery! We can't wait to go back.

Wow – what an experience! The food was absolutely amazing. My sister said the ribs (coated in a rich BBQ and rum sauce) were the best she’s ever had. I went for the jerk chicken, and my wife had fish and chips – everything was fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly cooked. The drinks didn’t disappoint either. With such a huge rum selection, happy hour was definitely enjoyed! A big bonus for us was how warmly our two large dogs were welcomed – that alone makes a huge difference. Add in the breathtaking beach view, and it all made for an unforgettable visit. The staff were outstanding, very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back, and I can’t recommend this place enough!

Absolute gem of a place staff were super friendly and accommodating we had what must be the best table in the restaurant overlooking the harbour. Cocktails were out of this world and the biggest list of rums to choose from I've ever seen. The bread is baked fresh in store daily something they are proud of and rightly so. We had the crab and haddock burger and the rack of ribs, the presentation was as good as the food tastes to die for. Portion size was very generous and couldn't finish it all. Couldn't recommend this place enough and will go every time we're in St ives

Staff amazing, atmosphere amazing. They don't make hot coffee but I have tasted an amazing iced coffee. Devilish whitebait, we were expecting to be spicy hence the name, chowder was a let down not my personal taste, lobster ok. Food wise there is still work to do.

The food here was amazing. Massive tasty portions and my Dad said he they did the best ribs he has ever eaten. Despite being very busy, we were able to get a table after just a short wait. They also had a good selection of drinks.

We came here and had rum & crab. My expectations of having rum & crab at The Rum & Crab Shack were thoroughly met. It was fun picking out a random shot of rum to try from their large selection of rum - over 100 rums apparently. I opted for a cherry flavoured rum which went down a little too easily. I wished I could try some more, but unfortunately couldn't because I was driving. The staff were super friendly & knowledgeable about the rums on offer. They seemed perfectly happy to make recommendations if asked. I guess they are also knowledgeable about crab, but I did not ask for any crab-related advice. They were very accommodating for our dog. We were able to choose a suitable table out of those that were available, which was a nice touch. The food was good - presented in the style of a seafood shack, also as expected! Would definitely recommend this place if you like rum & crab.

What a find! As soon as Tom the waiter saw us and offered us the table by the window we knew we were at the best pub in town. Tom was helpful and polite and made excellent recommendations. Thank Tom. You made my birthday treat even more special. Fiona and Aber girls xxx

Excellent value for money with a great variety of fresh seafood on offer. Visited on a Bank Holiday Monday, there was a small queue outside, but the wait wasn’t too long. The food was delicious and served in reasonable portions. The John Dory was outstanding, with an unbeatable garlic butter. Will definitely be returning.

Fantastic food, local fish and seafood doesn't get any better! Really friendly staff and service. Queues outside as the place is so popular but they were still able to seat us very quickly and our food was brought out to us really quickly and was lovely fresh and hot. The deep fried squid was super tasty, monkfish burger, crab salad and local hake with capers and samphire. Highly recommend everything including the elderflower cider!

The food was amazing! They have two places to dine in and if you arrive at the peak you have to wait for a while. We waited for ten or fifteen minutes and took a inside dining bar. The service was very good, with a lady recommended some today’s specials ( the mussels were really nice and freshly cooked)

A lovely chill seafood restaurant with amazingly friendly staffs. The atmosphere is good, though a bit crowded. Scallops tastes amazing with dedicated texture and harmonious sauce. The only drawback is the lobster, which was a bit over-cooked and the texture goes firmer that I expected

Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar is well worth a visit. We arrived at 2.30pm to take a look and were greeted on the kerb by the waitress who showed us to the table outside on the pavement and put a heater on ( we preferred pavement as we have an unpredictable puppy ) The portion sizes are small as it's a taster menu so select several. We had crispy Squid, grilled Monkfish and grilled Mackerel, all were cooked to perfection, the best lunch we have had in years. The service is definitely 5 star as well as the food. Yes, it's pricey as others have said however you can't get fresher fish than being next to the harbour, straight from the boat to the kitchen. You can't book a table just turn up, we went on a week day afternoon in October. Honestly well worth trying.

Fantastic little place - you cant book a table and it operates via a queue system outside (this works best if you're in a couple as likely to get seated sooner than in a large group) however we didnt wait long at all. Food was delicious and fresh (the hake was like butter and melted in your mouth) staff are friendly and service was very efficient. It was full when we got there and I can understand why its so popular. All the food was cooked perfectly. There is also a carpark nearby (basically across the road), which we discovered was free from Mon-Sun after 4pm til 9pm - perfect for an evening meal. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience and worth every penny. We went on a Sunday and it was busy but they were still able to find us a very good seat. All staff were friendly and relaxed and knew a lot about the menu. The food was incredible, so fresh and the flavours were perfect. We had one of the specials, the smoked mackerel pate, the John Dory and the crab salad and we loved it. Would highly recommend it if you have the budget. It's worth the treat if you like local seafood.

Fantastic beach side - more than a cafe - serving lovely food. Very friendly and welcoming. We had a selection of dishes - Crab Taco, Garlic Prawns, Mussels with fries and beautifully soft bread and really creamy butter!

Nice place on Porthgwidden Beach, had a lovely table with a beautiful off the beach and beyond. Apart from the burger which looked dry and overcooked the food was pretty good and served generous portions. The service was OK, nothing special and felt a bit rushed to get us to leave after we just finished our meal. A bit of improvement around service and teach the kitchen how to make a decent burger then they’ll be on to a winner!

We come across this Beach Café by chance, it's tucked away down the beach approach just off the St Ives - Island car Park. Got to say the drive to and from the car park was tight and through the town, but we managed to squeeze down the tight roads in our Ford Ranger. The Porthgwidden Beach Café was a lovely unexpected jewel, we were greeted by the staff and seated at the lovely window table overlooking the bay. The food choice was just what we expected, and the quality was 2nd to non, we both had the fish and chips, which was great quality and taste. The service was extremely quick, and the staff where really friendly, giving us advice on the scenery and where we should visit. All in all I will give this place a 5/5 for food, service and a friendly atmosphere. We will definitely save this as a favourite for when we return back to Cornwall.

Well .. it was our 1st wedding anniversary & needless to say we had to go back to where we had our wedding breakfast mealy , only the two of us instead of the 3o one year ago this time round .. & what a joy ( cheaper too , lol ) , great views just as before & made relaxed .. quick catch up with 'Will' (plus others) & food ordered , service although a different waitress was second to none .. amazing food & 1st steak since being in town for the week , excellent perfectly cook & the lemon sole too . Wined Dined & Reminisced , fab evening & we'll be going back for sure ... why shouldn't we the food alone is enough.

The reason why is just one star for food is because we get squid rings which we paid £8.95…shocking, we got also burgers which was brilliant, perfect . You can see it in the picture. That was from takeaway

Great views food OK reasonably priced you can get a drink here beach is fab and a safe swim area

The female receptionist in the restaurant could not have been more unwelcoming or frosty in manner. We did however eat in the beach café which was lovely. So five stars for food and staff service at Beach café - none for welcome in restaurant.

Absolutely loved our visit to Rest A While Tea Garden! The cream tea was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had – the scones were fresh, warm, and just perfect with the jam and clotted cream. The views from the tea garden were stunning – a really relaxing spot to sit and enjoy a treat. My son loved his milkshake too, which was a nice bonus. The man serving us was brilliant – really friendly and a good laugh, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you’re in the area. A lovely little gem!

This was my best memory in Cornwall finding this place on our walk. Such a simple hole in the wall and beautiful man who served us. Behind the scenes someone baking the best quiche and scones with clotted cream. Great tea and coffee. Weather was fantastic so we could sit outside and enjoy. Not the place to relax on a rainy. Keep up the good work.

Our first visit but won't be our last. A little gem of a tea shop with stunning views and a very friendly owner. We had delicious cheese scones freshly baked by the owner and pups enjoyed her first dogy ice-cream. We will definitely visit again and tell our friends.

We arrived in good weather. There was a small garden. The guests were friendly and helpful. They quickly made room. The scones were ready and warm shortly after ordering. A dream with tea. It started to rain, as expected in the UK. The friendly owners quickly handed out umbrellas. I give it full marks. I didn't find any faults.

Cute cream tea. Affordable, incredible view. Oat milk iced latte is v good

A lovely cafe stop on the coastal path from Treyarnon to Padstow. Lovely fresh scones and beautiful setting overlooking the sea.

My boyfriend and I stopped here whilst we were doing a walk along the coastal path. As it was a hot day we decided to come here to cool off and were not disappointed. There was a good atmosphere in this little tea garden and good views over the bay. We had a cream tea and a smoothie. Scones were really nice and the smoothie was refreshing. Great little stop on a walk.

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.

This was an incredible little find when we wanted someone extra special to go on our final night of holiday. The waitresses were attentive and friendly. The food was so scrummy and very well presented.

Absolutely love Edie’s, the food is incredible. The menu is always changing, there’s a good wine list and a welcoming atmosphere. Along with the incredible food comes great service, Edie’s has a knack of finding lovely, joyous humans to work for them. It’s our go to special occasion or treat restaurant.

I think this is the best restaurant in Cornwall. It hits all the right notes. It is incredible value for money, the food is outstanding. The portion sizes are just right. The cocktails are beautiful and super delicious and the wine list is excellent. The menu changes with the seasons and is small but perfectly formed - so very cleverly worked out as there is always something for everyone. The staff are exceptional - so friendly and attentive and so very committed to ensuring your visit is perfect. Reservations are essential at weekends and especially in the summer. I’ll go again and again.

Nice ambience and decor in the restaurant, my chair was unfortunately a bit sticky on the edge which i felt when pulling chair forward (probably from the previous customer). I wanted to get the waitresses attention but they all seemed busy. Not a problem, I wiped the residue away with a wet wipe. The food which we had was beautifully presented and tasty. I loved the Scallop risotto.. So delicious. Unfortunately my son’s filet steak was well done rather than medium rare which he asked for. He didn't want to make a fuss and said it was fine so he kept it. He said it was still a good piece of meat. There were 2 different lemonaid sold out which i wanted, but the one I had was nice (lime). Despite the experience not being 100%, the quality of the food is what we were there for and we enjoyed it.

We've eaten here a couple of times now and loved it! The service is friendly and welcoming whilst also being professional and efficient. All the staff are absolutely lovely. The venue is really well decorated, making you feel at home but also high end, the tables are a good size and the chairs are super comfy. The food! Omg the food 🤤 absolutely divine. To this day, the best food we've ever had. I had the halibut and it was delicious, such good flavour pairings! My partner had the steak and it literally melted in your mouth 😍 I could literally eat here every day for the rest of my life haha. Thanks guys!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible dining experience at Edies! The food was beautifully presented and full of flavor from start to finish. The soup was rich and delicious, served with perfectly toasted bread and a lovely aioli. The vegetarian main was fresh, creative, and beautifully plated. But the highlight was the steak – honestly the best I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and paired with a stunning sauce and crispy chips. Every bite was amazing. Service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was relaxed but refined. A real gem of a place — I’ll definitely be back!

A truly excellent dining experience. The food was delicious and the service attentive and friendly. A really enjoyable evening and one to revisit soon!

Truly delicious offerings in a great location, you’ll need to book and we went for lunch at short notice and there was lots of availability. We opted for; Smoked Haddock scotch egg, fish and chips, sardines, octopus, scallop and greek salad. We’ve had these favourites many many times in many many places and from some of the best chefs going in Cornwall. It is not often we get new #1s from these choices…we now have 6 new #1s as they were that good. The wines were great too and the value was incredible…try the Lebanese wine and a dessert wine..you’ll love them both. Ohh n if you shelled peas with your Grandma and were allowed a few as a treat, that’s what the peas tasted like…memories that last forever. 😋😋😋

A fantastic find while visiting Looe. We booked a last min holiday to Looe, and while there we walked and searched for good food. This restaurant was outstanding. We loved every bite. The crispy squid was divine. The crab mac n cheese was the best mac we have ever tasted, and even after the selection of small plates and sides as a tapas style meal, we still had room left for dessert. Which didn’t disappoint. The lemon posset with meringue and raspberries was a creamy perfection. Thank you to Ben and all of the chefs for our gorgeous meal today. We really had a fantastic time, and our tummies are very happy

Booked a table for the wrong date turned up and they went all the way to accommodate us for the night I was supposed to book for. 2 adults and 2 children Food and service was fantastic couldn't fault it. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to anyone

Wonderful restaurant serving the best local seasonal seafood dishes (plus other options for anyone not a fan of seafood). The staff were friendly and attentive and the presentation of the food was amazing. Highly recommend if you are visiting Looe.

Our experience of having lunch at The Sardine Factory was lovely, right from the warm welcome of the staff to the absolutely delicious selection of seafood. Service was excellent, ambience was beautiful. Thank you for giving us such a good time

Ate here for lunch. Food we ordered was all very nice. Maybe wouldn't order the taco next time. Quite an expensive lunch but luckily we had a gift voucher. Would definitely come again.

Booked in for a late lunch during the Kernewfornia festival and very glad we did. Had the chowder, scotch eggs and tuna small plates and a rather delicious white Rioja, everything was beautiful and very tasty. Excellent service , staff very friendly and approachable and such lovely surroundings. Quality lunch, thank you very much!

First time visiting Newquay fistal beach and fancied some fish and chips, had a quick look at the local area to see what is recommended and settled on Flounders. Arrived to a queue back to the door, a good sign. Didn't take too long before I got to order and looking at the options and prices it's comparable to other fish and chip shops I've been to. Placed an order for regular cod fish, jumbo sausages, large chips and curry sauce. Classic combination. Service with a smile and the wait for the food wasn't long especially for a Saturday night, looks to be a decent efficient service, as all the popular items are sitting under the warn lamp but as it's busy it doesn't sit there for long. Took the food away back to a suitable place to eat and the food was still hot. The batter on the fish is crisp with a satisfying crunch and not too greasy. The cod is a decent size and flaky. Chips were pretty standard, nothing special but nevertheless good enough and a generous portion. Jumbo sausages tasted fine and meaty, I don't think I had many grisle in mine. Curry sauce had a choice of mild or spicy, as the kids were sharing we had the mild, it was a good thickness and tasted just right for little palates. Really was a good fish and chips would recommend for those visiting the area.

Popped in yesterday for a quick meal and not for the first time was not disappointed. Everyone working there smiling happy and polite. What a change from most places! Lady who served me sorted my blue light discount, helped me find the appropriate meal size for my child and was generally just lovely. If everyone had people skills like that the world would be a better place. Don't know your name but thanks for making my day! Food was brilliant! Been here before so no surprise. Just can't recommend highly enough.

Our favourite fish and chip shop we’ve ever been to. Always visit when in town. This time the fish was excellent as always and the scampi too. The Chips were very average bordering on poor, we’ve always rated these as better than average Also the online ordering was not working on the two days we tried it Hope it’s ap one off with reduced quality but if not we won’t return Shame

Lovely service and delicious fish and chips. Seriously good value for money for the quality of the food 🙌 Plus speedy cooking, fish freshly cooked and put up to wrap, not like some places where they have loads precooked and waiting in the hot cupboard. Got the recommendation from a friend who has been taking his daughter here since she was little, I can see why now. Will definitely be back. Thanks 🥰

Flounders is still the best fish & chips in Newquay. We had 2 amazing cod fillets in crispy batter cooked in beef dripping. Puts Rick Stein’s Fistral to shame! Sarah even served our take away in cardboard trays as we were dining outside. Brilliant service with a well deserved 5 stars!

Friendly and efficient. Easy to park close by (in the evening). Good sized portions - massive pieces of haddock - and tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Good sized portions, perfectly cooked chips. Fish was lovely and flaky. Batter slightly thicker than I like but still really good. Fish not cheap but it seems to be getting dearer across the country at the moment - definitely worth the cost though! 👍

Service is excellent, hats off to the trainer and to the staff throwing themselves into it. When they ask 'are you having a nice stay?' You feel they want to know. Breakfast room light easy breezy feel. Food quality is high so no need for mounds of it. We had dinner twice, A loved his chocolate mouse so much and wanted it again sadly everyone liked it too. The monkfish was simply cooked and to perfection. As A is not a keen fish eater, he opted for beef fillet, beautifully done he said. Didnt share it! The rooms are understated and pleasant, bathrooms very nicely designed, particularly like the twin shower arrangement. The lounge had a fire. Love a fire who doesn't! Some areas are tired, like the sofas - one cushion had a good chunk cut out the side as If taken for a sneaky sample. We went out of season, so weather hit and miss and some gardens etc were closed. If you want lots more to do other than walk come from mid April.

My husband and I went for our anniversary last weekend. What a treat. Truly old school, service, nothing is too much trouble and properly trained staff. The hotel hard a really warm feel, very relaxing and calming too. It was perfect. Our room was lovely too. The bar down stairs was perfect, the bartender was so knowledgeable too. The cocktails were as good as any top notch cocktail bar. We had breakfast outside each morning, it was delicious and what a view. We had supper in the restaurant too which was excellent. The service again was superb and the food was devious. Really worthy of the MICHELIN Key award it holds. Highly recommend. *****

Such a lovely hotel, with lovely amenities and staff. However, if you go to the sitting area across from the restaurant, they have a “selection” of newspapers to read. But the selection consists of The Times, The Mail and The Telegraph. That’s it. No other options. The message is subtle but blatant - only Right Wingers are welcome in this hotel. If you are centrist or remotely left wing, you don’t belong here.

We had the most fantastic and memorable meal again at the Tresanton to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. The setting on the terrace was beautiful, with stunning views—even when the heavens opened, we stayed perfectly dry and were so well looked after by Lydia, who couldn’t have done more to make us feel special. We laughed so much and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Amazing service, amazing setting— our anniversary tradition! We can’t wait to come back next year to our favourite place. Thank you Lydia and team!

Not exactly the hotel this refers to, but the drinks "shed" over the road. We were going on a walk to St. Just and needed a caffeine top-up before setting off. Delicious hot black Americano and a warmish latte (quite why these aren't made slightly warmer baffles me, but seems to be what it is), at an average cost. Recommended.

We just had a lovely 5 night stay. The service, hotel and views were spectacular! Would thoroughly recommend for either couples or family.

We have had lunch there several times in the last few months and every time the service, food and attention to detail has been exceptional. It was my Mum’s birthday and having alerted the hotel to this in advance, we had champagne on the house and a personalised dessert! Mum was over the moon! All the staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Perfect. The set lunch is such good value - really delicious. The fish and chips and house wine are actually cheaper than at most local pubs so it doesn’t have to be a really expensive meal! But I did have the oysters which were such a treat. And you can’t really beat the view of the bay and St Anthony’s Head in the distance. As well as such a gorgeous restaurant and lounge area. One day we will treat ourselves to a stay there as I can imagine the whole 24/7 experience would be fantastic. So thank you to everyone who works so hard in giving their guests such a great experience.

We only had beer, so can’t vouch for the food but to have a cool glass of Tribute outside with that stunning view was superb. It’s a small café with plenty of outdoor seating and a brilliant way to make the most of the beach. The café is basic, but from what I could see when people were eating, the food looked good. Only marked down because the service was surly at best and borderline rude at worst. No WiFi available, and no reception on EE or Three

We did the wonderful coastal walk from Lizard Point to Kynance Cove and back yesterday. The weather was wonderful and the waves were really powerful, crashing onto the cliffs and rocks. This cafe is literally a few steps from the beach. We only had drinks here but the food and ice creams looked amazing. Would highly recommend a visit to this cafe if visiting the cove.

One of the world’s great views from the cafe at Kynance Cove. We had coffees, hot chocolates (with all “the works”), and cakes. Delicious. Order inside, they give you a number, and you pick up from the hatch when your number is called. Wooden benches and deckchairs outside. You’ll not regret calling here!

Small trek from the car park down to Kynance cove and there’s this cafe right by the beach / cove! Had the best pasty from Ann’s and also some good coffee. They also had a vegetarian cheese pasty! Also has souvenirs, drinks and postcards here. Did a loop track to lizard point and back here for seconds!

Okay food and coffee but you can't beat the location overlooking Kynance Cove. Bonus points for having swifts nesting in the toilets. Arrive early in the morning so you can avoid the Instagram idiots who think it's a big beach so bring every inflatable possible and then just block the steps down to the beach. Almost worth the wait to watch their jaws go slack as they realise the tide is in.

I highly recommend the tour. It’s an amazing place for the whole family; an extremely pleasant and beautiful place. I Loved It 🥰

Lunch with a view!🤩 We had the crab sandwich, the prawn sandwich and a cream tea overlooking Kynance cove. Excellent food and view. Friendly staff

The tomato soup with the cheese scone was so delicious; the soup was herby with a bit of spice, not too salty and the cheese scone was warm, the butter softened. Thoughtful service. That bowl really did the trick on a cold February day. I had ice cream, of course. The flavours I chose did not disappoint (2 scoops, one Belgian choc, one vanilla). I didn't have space for the popular 'Shipwreck' at the time. I did, however, go back the next day to get a scoop, and yes, delicious 😋 I also tried the seasonal apple cider sorbet. I think if I had a whole scoop in the summer as opposed to a taster in February, I would have to enjoy it as a sorbet float 🍹✨️

My personal favourite ice cream (alongside Roskilly's) but they do a very nice lunch too. We had emmental, pastrami and gherkin toasties. Highly recommended. And the Moo-berry flavour ice cream seemed to give me a remarkable energy boost that lasted the rest of the day! Apparently it is made with about half a dozen different berries. Have they discovered some new secret formula?! 😁

Tried the chocolate and the raspberry ripple. The chocolate was decent, but nothing that stood out. Unfortunately, the raspberry ripple was a bit of a letdown — I was expecting a stronger, fruitier flavor. Overall, it was okay, but I was hoping for something a little more special.

Love their ice cream! Big scoop with waffle cone for a decent price!!

Best ice cream in St Ives! We come here every time we are in St Ives. Friendly fast staff, lovely shop, truly delicious flavours well maid. Added bonus that it’s late opening and you can get excellent cakes and coffee too

Loved the cafe! That worker Ruth is so kind! Her latte art is so beautiful, get that on a bag! :)

In my research for delicacies in Cornwall, this place popped up often and I was quite keen to know what a moomaid is! Finding it was not difficult as it's at the corner of a busy road. They have high chairs along the glass windows and a few tables inside for groups. They sell merchandise as well along with food and are pet friendly. We visited this place almost all of the days during our stay for their avocado on toast, brie and pesto toastie and coffee. We did try a few flavours of their ice cream and found pistachio to be the best. The sourdough bread they use is pretty good and the ingredients they use for their food is fresh and good quality as is evident in the taste. Watching cars and vans make the right turn around it's corner always fascinated me while sipping on coffee and enjoying a slice of their cake. I have tried a few varieties of the cake they serve in my visits and do notice that the cut slices are always a bit dry (orange and almond cake, coffee and walnut) but the ones cut fresh from a loaf were moist and delicious (lemon drizzle). They might have to find a way to keep the cake slices from going dry being in contact with air throughout the day. The avocado toast and brie pesto toastie are heavenly and we will be going back for it whenever we are in St Ives. Their scone with cream and jam was good as well. The staff, though friendly and prompt in their service, do look a bit fatigued and detached as the day progresses probably due to being on their feet all day serving customers and managing the cafe.

This place is the real deal. Unpretentious and authentic, this local Portuguese restaurant really focuses on excellent quality fish and true home cooking flavours without fuss or frills. We had memorable seafood rice, grilled sardines, scallops and grilled gurnard. The best food I’ve had in some time. Felt like I was on holiday and can’t wait to return.

Always wanted to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Delicious food in a friendly restaurant. Highly recommended!

Alvorada is an absolute gem. An intimate little restaurant with only 4 tables in the home of the owners. Antonio, the chef, goes out fishing 2 or 3 times a week and cooks whatever is in season and he catches. The food is exquisite and the owners are very charismatic and have lots of stories to share. Definitely one for a special occasion - mains are around £20 and starters £8-£10. Truly special dining experience!

Antonio and Sue were amazing. What an unusual find- really fantastic food with Portuguese flavor. Focus on locally caught fish cooked really well, without fuss but great flavours. Cannot recommend highly enough

My wife and I ate here on Wednesday 28th May and loved every minute and mouthful. The owners are lovely and the food full of flavour and delicious. I had the scallops to start and they were exceptional. For my main I had the local cod with veg and my wife had the chicken and chourico kebab. Food of the Gods! Looking forward to visiting again. Cozinha muito boa!

Lovely small intimate restaurant with awesome owners ! Portuguese chef is the owner and wife sue front of house. Lovely couple with stories to tell so do engage with them ! Food is exceptional

Lovely meal tonight, despite living down the road we have never had a chance to visit until now - never have been to Portugal but feel we have experienced a small part of it - would highly recommend!

Called in last week with my wife for coffee. While we were waiting I noticed they had a special of homemade beef stew with granary bread. This sounded to good to miss so I ordered one. I was not disappointed it was absolutely lovely. My wife ordered a sandwich and she said it was really good. The service and friendliness of all the staff was great. If you find yourself in Fowey don't miss this little gem.

Such a pretty little cafe consisting of six tables. We were warmly greeted and decided to share a BLT sandwich (well filled) and Cornish Cream Tea (home baked scones). All food was freshly prepared and delicious. Coffees were nice and strong too. A great price at £17. Will definitely call back.

Really cute little cafe. Good prices, and top quality food & drinks. A very personal feel to the place; the owner was in the process of baking a chocolate cake as we are our delicious cream tea!

Super friendly staff . Lovely quick service and super tasty food. Topped off with a great coffee. What more could you want?

Amazing place with yummy sandwiches,cakes and drinks. Really good prices like for Fowey,will definitely come back again!

Everything is small in Fowey, from 13th century buildings to this little cafe, but it has a big heart. Quiet, gentle, efficient and friendly with good food. We'll return.

Friendly staff, good food not your average greasy spoon cafe! Good atmosphere inside, friendly staff but its lacking space, get in early If you want a seat!

One of the best ice creams I’ve had. Simple, classic and tasty. Highly recommend.

Absolutely astounding, probably the best ice cream I've ever had. It is a very old fashioned, hand made ice cream parlour serving only vanilla with option of a flake and a scoop of Cornish clotted cream. So nice I went twice. Don't miss out.

Absolutely the best ice cream in the world ! Outstanding! Just one flavour - add the clotted cream. Mild sweet and full of flavour. Not to be missed. We went back to get more.

Delicious ice cream - and the only decision is whether to add clotted cream or (and?) a flake. So glad we were told where to find you. And don't worry, they accept cards.

Great little ice cream spot with friendly staff. As the guy serving us said. The ice cream will… melt your heart?

The best ice cream I’ve ever had….. it’s natural and fresh❤️

We had heard alot about jelberts and finally got to have the famous clotted cream icecream.. its very creamy and a variant of vanilla and very delicious.. the location is great too, close to Newlyn harbour and it does get crowded on weekends but if you go in the mornings it will be less crowded. They sell merchandise too and surprisingly people buy them. The staff is friendly and the portion size is good too.

Certainly lovely icecream but the shop in Copperhouse has a very small counter, it could do with a bigger counter with two people serving. I was in there today and it was a quiet a long queue going out into the street I nearly left but I stayed. Two people behind me left after a while and it is not summer holidays yet. It is a large area in there for people to eat their icecreams but has small area to queue and to get served which is very disappointing.

We hired Mr B's vintage ice cream van for an event the day after our wedding and it was brilliant! Our guests absolutely loved it, the ice cream was delicious and Nikki who was serving and also planned the event wirh us is so incredibly helpful and lovely. We went to a tasting session earlier on in the year at one of the shops and that was a great experience too. There are so many flavours to choose from including dairy free/vegan options.

We had a really great experience here recently. The ice creams were genuinely so creamy, and the texture was probably the best I've ever enjoyed. Plus their vegan range was really wonderful, with so many unique flavours to try! There was also a really kind staff member who not only gave us a wonderful service that day, who allowed us to try all the vegan flavours, and was just an overall friendly person. But they were also kind enough to offer me a glass of water to take my morning medication when they noticed I needed it- I'm disabled, and had forgotten my own water bottle, so I really did appriciate their kind help.

Nikki provided the absolute best service possible for our recent wedding. Great communication before the event, an incredible in parlour tasting experience and THE best ice cream and service in the day of our wedding no couldn’t recommend Nikki and her vintage ice cream van highly enough for your wedding. A choice of 6 flavours, cones, tubs, flakes and personalised wafers. Thank you Nikki for totally rocking it and being such a memorable part of our day for ourselves and our guests.

Amazing Ice Cream! Really generous and the Chocolate Sorbet in particular was amazing plus the homemade Fudge sticks were LUSH!! The staff were really friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend and will be back soon!!

I really enjoyed my first visit to this local ice cream parlour. Tori was very kind and prepared a fantastic fresh waffle with my selected choices of wonderful ice cream, cherry and pecan.

Lovely service here by the lady serving us. The ice cream was a good portion size and tasted nice, Wouldn’t of said the ice cream was anything out of the ordinary though. Although would of liked a clotted cream flavour which is one of my favourites. My partner had the lotus biscoff and said she enjoyed it but was a little fiddly to eat when it came to the waffle with the spoon provided. Would have again though. Thank you

Beautifully decorated, friendly welcoming staff, pizza that's difficult to beat, pasta that you want to keep eating all night long. Authentic Italian beer and wine. Highly recommended👍

What a little gem! Simply must go there if you fancy authentic Italian food and nice/cool deco. Their tables are well spaced out and sanitizer is provided at the restaurant. As someone who tries to be very careful during the pandemic, I felt extremely comfortable and safe to enjoy a mouth-watering dinner at Mangia. Their food is just divine! My recommendation would be seafood linguini, the chicken dish and ESPECIALLY the panacotta!!!

Family restaurant with absolutely delicious Italian food. Dad's in the kitchen, mums running reservations and junior is running around waiting tables. Definitely a must for anyone visiting Falmouth.

One of the best meals out I have had in a long time. The food was Incredible and lovely service- would recommend!

Nice and friendly restaurant with good Italian food. Pure Italian and half Italian were super happy for sure:p

Lovely food, great service, one of the best meals we've had. My calzone was delicious.

Beautiful restaurant with the loveliest owners and staff. The food is to die for, homemade and fresh Italian food cooked with love. The ice cream is divine, the best we have ever had outside of Italy . Also homemade and great selection of creative flavours such as rose, yum! The atmosphere is comforting, romantic and gentle, like the food. Beautiful touches, lighting and music. We had a lovely time and we will definitely be returning again and again.

Wonderful shop. I had a jam donut. Perfect. Lots of competition in this town and this hop is up to it. Meet here for the town tour which is worth every pence.

Lovely little gem! Staff are very welcoming and the prices are so reasonable (especially compared to what we pay in the south east of England!). Delicious takeaway cream tea and the Bakewell tart was scrummy. Definitely worth heading to if you're coming to Port Isaac.

Best cornish pastie I've ever can remember as a child. Hot & tasty with a generous filled traditional pasty. Peppery meat & potato inner. 'Pastry absolutely amazing' as I'm not a pastry fan, but a fan of black pepper 😋

We had the steak and blue cheese pasties and they were delicious!! Plus the smoothies were great. The staff were really friendly. Do stop here if you're a fan of Doc Martin too.

Stopped for a take away tea and latte, and ended up with cakes too. They cakes were even nicer than they looked and the drinks perfect. Lady in the shop was so friendly. Wish I lived closer as would be there often.

We enjoyed a Lovely meal here, very friendly staff too. They also sell, paintings, and creative items for souveneirs. Set in the beautiful village of Port Isaac .... Just below Doc Martin's Surgery. We were fortunate enough to see the filming of Doc Martin whilst we were there.

Pasties are really good and jam donuts are perfect. Also the girl serving was brilliant, she sat back and gave us time to look and choose before jumping on us.

Absolutely delicious breakfast! I had eggs Benny which is probably the best I’ve had! We also ordered a full small Cornish breakfast which again can’t fault, also asked if we wanted pouched egg or fried! That usually is never a option, the double espresso was to die for really top quality coffee 👌ill give it 5 stars 🌟 and it we will be our go to for future visits to Hayle.

Popped in on our way home to London as it's just near Hayle station. Everything was lovely. Staff were super friendly, the food was lovely, great cuppa and nice veggie options for my fellow travellers. We were all very pleased with our choices. Clean facilities and an unrushed atmosphere with a decent music selection in the background!

The seats were super comfortable, but a little tight in space. Food was absolutely amazing. The inside of the cafe is really cute and you get a view of the outside. I ordered a hot chocolate halfway through our meal and it took 10 minutes to finally get to me, which at that point the family were finishing up and getting ready to leave. Since it took so long, I would have appreciated being asked if I still wanted the drink as I had to spend money on something I didn't have time to finish up. Having said that, I want to reiterate that the food was delicious and I 100% still recommend eating at this place. This is just some constructive feedback to take on board :)

Couldn’t recommend enough, we travelled 7 hours down for a holiday and needed a good breakfast when we arrived and duckies did not disappoint! The service was brilliant, they couldn’t do enough for you and the food was unreal 😍 definitely visit if you can!!

My wife said this was her best breakfast in Cornwall, we have eaten out every day for the past 7 days at many amazing places but this place gets the gold star!, wonderful friendly service and super food, also love the artwork, one of those true gems you really do want to go back to!

High quality home made food, the team showed a lot of pride in their service and produce. The chef and his team were upbeat and friendly. The cafe was comfortable, clean and dog friendly.

The place was super friendly and staff was super helpful and friendly, the wait for food wasn’t long but when it came it suprisses how good it tasted, the smoothie was really good nothing blocking in the straw, an absolutely delicious meal and a 5 stars place for sure

Cosy tea room with inside and outside seating. Cream teas are amazing but today we had coffee and walnut cake for a change, also amazing so what do we have the next time we are here? National Trust car parking and well kept toilets also here, but for the more adventurous you can use the South West coast path. Always on our must do list when in the area.

Lovely little tearoom with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are brilliant. We had a cream tea; the scones were fresh and warm and they were really generous with the toppings - no tiny plastic-wrapped portions here! The car park is big and there are toilets. There are a couple of nice, easy walks with incredible views.

Delicious sausage sandwich and toasties. Scones had sold out but not your fault. It was absolutely rammed today but you were quick to serve and your young staffed team cracked on with a smile. Thanks ☺️

This is the best cafe in the area. Cream teas to die for, crab sandwiches, excellent jacket potatoes, soup, huge slices of cake and much more. Extremely good prices. Lovely staff a must on every stay in Cornwall.

Small and busy cafe. Dog friendly. Clean loos. Basic food but some good hot pasties and toasted sandwiches - perfect during a cold wet walk.

Just stumbled across Carnewas Tearoom by accident and it is in a stunning location. Fantastic cafe and a small NT shop. Lovely views and walks for all mobility abilities.

Had a lovely bit of food at the cafe with regards to there homemade crumble that they had which was very tasty and had rum and raisin ice cream with it! A great start to our excursion around this National Trust protected coast line!

This is the type of food that you lay in bed at night and dream about. Absolutely incredible. I have a dairy allergy and I was very well looked after. Such a wonderful atmosphere, all the staff were amazingly nice and friendly. This place is so worth a visit.

Spent the morning at Heligan gardens and we popped here for lunch. So glad we did! We sat in the beer garden with our dog which was lovely and peaceful. The food was delicious, and incredible value! We had pretzel bread to start with pastrami butter - not had bread like this before, truly delicious. I had catch of the day for main, and my husband had the burger - both super fresh and delicious. Then for pudding I had pavlova and my husband had what he said was the best frangipane he’s ever had. It was crammed full of rhubarb and so tasty. Service was attentive and quick, and the waitress was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back the next time we’re in Cornwall, couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Well worth a trip. Michelin quality food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. Head Chef Dan was on hand to talk us through the menu and even gave us some extra sides that we loved. Can't recommend this place enough

It's not a bad pub and worth the short walk from Treveague Campsite. The fine dining menu seems impressive. The lamb dish I ordered was nearly very good. The lamb itself was very tasty but all the accompaniments were underwhelming. The cauliflower puree didn't have much flavour and the rosti was really greasy. Such a shame because it could have been a really great dish. The burger had too much sauce. The kids menu is for very young children (7 and under). This makes it tricky when the mains are around £25 fine dining type dishes or a full sized pub meal.

Fully booked for food when we arrived but the friendly staff managed to slot us in. Started with a warm foccacia with salted butter which was lovely. For main, I had sausages and mash and the hubby had burger and fries and we both thought that our dishes were awesome. Unfortunately too full for pudding but means we will have to go back again!

Absolutely fantastic and definitely recommended. Don't be concerned that the food or the place looks too fancy. The staff were really welcoming and there's a great mix of tourists and locals. The dippy scotch egg is the best I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a lot of scotch eggs!!! If you're in the area, find time to visit.

The meals are outstanding and great value, absolutely fantastic! Lovely village pub, staff very welcoming lovely atmosphere.We ate here two nights in a row during our week away, would of eaten there every night if they hadn’t of been fully booked!

We were pleasantly surprised with this little gem tucked away between Hayle and St Ives. Awesome interesting Mediterranean food! Had lunch there on our way home from the long weekend away. The shop, which is an extension to the restaurant has amazing wines and quirky products that foodies love. Definitely recommended and will come back when in the area again. The service was always attentive and on time.

I went on Saturday to the wine shop to buy a bottle of wine I drank at lunch at the old forge. The man in the shop was so miserable. He used to work as a waiter previously and I recognised him. He was changing the prices on the wine from the recent VAT increase on 1.08. All wine was going up a £1 he explained. He hadn't got to change the price label on the wine I wanted but refused to sell it to me at the lower advertised price despite me pointing out it was my customer right. He was so miserable and unpleasant I nearly walked out. However I paid the new price knowing I was entitled to the old price and as a matter of principal wanted to share my experience.

A wonderful surprise after a delightful meal at The Old Forge next door. There was a good range of wines from around the world at reasonable prices compared to other businesses in the area. Managed to find my wife a bottle of wine which she had wanted for ages but was almost always unavailable elsewhere. Have returned a few time since and always happy with service and products

Right off the Beaton track, an exclusive feel, great in the heat, loads of great wines. Blink and you’ll miss it, see it and you’ll definitely go there again!

Lovely little niche boutique sampling some great wines from Europe, charcutterie, cheese and craft beer. It also has a small eating section where you can get some of the products made into pizzas and sharing dishes. Some great flavors of course, but I must admit I was hoping for a more bistro inspired menu with main some more exciting main courses. The children menu is mediocre. A great lunch and breakfast place though, and a lot of potential in these walls.

My favourite place for breakfast. Good coffee. Good choices including healthy options. They have a very nice pizza menu and tapas for lunch and evenings too. I have always had a good meal here.

Fantastic shop, lots of wines from off the beaten track. Friendly, knowledgeable people. We always pop in when we're down here but this is the first time we've eaten here - really excellent Mediterranean food too.

I’m not usually a massive fan of fish and chips but decided to give this place a try based on reviews from Google and TripAdvisor. I have to say, it was very good. We had the fish special which was a medium sized battered cod, chips and curry sauce, priced at £11.50 (dining in). The fish was fresh and the batter crispy, very well cooked. The chips were slightly over-cooked (not a big issue, personal preference) and the curry sauce was thick and had taste and flavour unlike some places. The dining in experience all gives you excellent views of the beach and the service from the waitress was excellent. All in all, very pleased. Would recommend.

Brilliant restaurant does eat in or take away. Very traditional fish and chips nicely cooked. Very clean, tidy seating with a great view of the beach. Very friendly welcoming staff. Reasonable prices for the great food. Well stocked menu from pies sausages and nuggets and a kids menu. Well worth a visit tasty fish.

I called in at The Cod End to sample their fish and chips, and I was not disappointed. I had the Cod, Chips and Peas special with a lovely glass of wine. The batter on the Cod was crispy, the fish just flaked apart, the chips were lovely and the peas were lush. Great service and a beautiful view. Highly recommended.

We came in on Friday evening just expecting a takeaway chippy but the view was sensational watchign the sunset, the dine-in area was very clean and the staff were absolutely lovely and ensured we had everything we needed. The portion sizes were immense, I had scampi, chips and salad, my partner had the pinwheel burger and we split a bowl of calamari. This was incredibly fresh fish, served up hot and crispy, we struggled to finish it all and the staff were so polite as we left. I cannot recommend here enough, the staff are caring, the food is brilliant and the view is one like no other!

Food did take a few minutes but was mostly worth the wait and price. Fried Chicken burger was a lil dry and could have been better then the Tesco Southern Fried Chicken pieces they used. But the chips were great and so was the other meals we ordered . Burgers are large Chips are a good portion size Kebab meat was fresh and tasty .

Never had a breakfast like it, at any sea side. Very cheap only £10 but you are paying for what you get part cooked greasy tinned mushrooms , just not nice at all. Group of 7 adults all having full English. Did try but cold ,just could not eat it . I have never given a review like this before I always like to be positive someone's business but I could not find anything here

The view is fantastic, and the establishment has a welcoming atmosphere with friendly service. The cleanliness and tidiness of the place are commendable. Additionally, it's great to see that it's dog-friendly, allowing pets inside as well. These factors contribute to a pleasant experience overall.
