Reviews in Cornwall

The label of Pub Food does not do this place justice. It's a lovely restaurant with delicious, freshly cooked food. Seafood was fresh from the harbour! A great way to finish our day after the Eden Project.

took the family for Xmas meal in December, food was very good and service was excellent,we took my 2 year old grandson and they provided him with a main course meal and then refused to take payment for it.So much food I took my pudding home in a doggy bag, all locally sourced food and excellent quality. Have been subsequently as a couple and the food was excellent,loads of specials,starters and main courses and the wine menu is extensive and not overly expensive,recommend the Chenin Blanc.

We stayed at Halwyn near St. Keverne and Roskilly's for about 13 straight years when the kids were young. Needless to say the first place we visited in Cornwall on the way was the ice cream parlour (then a wooden building overlooking the road). The choice of flavours was unbelievable, the family would even produce ice cream to order, notably banoffee, for the children. We all loved the place! We visited again recently and although there were a few changes the quality of the ice cream was just as we remembered it. Superb.

Bloody good soups!

The food is technically brilliant but the service grudging and ungracious. It makes all the difference if the chef makes an appearance at the tables and when the staff are friendly and helpful - rather than pointing you to a table, taking your order, bringing the food and taking your money!! Little touches make all the difference and it is this lack of attention to the detail that prevents me being a regular!! Lessons could be learned from the Blue Plate along the coast in Downderry.

Decided to take my girlfriend to this restaurant whilst on holiday October 2011. Wish I hadn’t!! As we walked into the restaurant we were immediately struck by how cold it was (it was warmer outside) however we decided to give it a go! We ordered chicken satay and honey glazed ribs for starters. As the waitress took our order my girlfriend asked if it was possible to have some heating on. The waitress remarked that the heating was broken and would not be fixed for a couple of days. We accepted this and carried on. After a short period our starter turned up, however it was not what we ordered. This was soon put right.. The Satay Chicken we had was terrible, processed and rubbery, so we left it! The ribs were passable. For mains we had Sweet and Sour Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork and an egg fried rice. The Sweet and Sour sauce tasted vinegary and the Pork was very fatty. Also the Egg fried rice was salty! I decided that this was not acceptable so we paid for the starters and drinks only and promptly left! I have eaten Chinese food in many different countries and have been to a fair few Chinese restaurants in this country. This place is dreadful. Food not even fit for consumption. If you want good quality Chinese food go to Hoi Yan in Helston! It is the dogs b*****ks!

Kota Kai is the stylish new venture by the Kota crew and is a fabulous venue overlooking the Harbour at Porthleven from every window. Seafood and an Indonesian twist prevail but even the Vegetarian Trio was to die for! Add a family playroom and a skittles alley and its pretty perfect!

Under new ownership, great menu and price, food was very well cooked. decor was light and fresh. great place to hangout and eat. well worth the visit.

Rather expensive. Had to complain about the crab and avocado starter - virtually no crab, thin slices of extremely under-ripe avocado cost around £7.30. Not charged for the starter but the manageress was off hand and turned away and walked off when I tried to explain what was unacceptable about it. Main course of turbot was fine. A real shame. The wine bar below is very good. This type of place is needed so much in Helston. It could easily be the very best in the town. Shame about the restaurant's unprofessional management.

Wow! What a find. No.6 is the best restaurant, by a mile, that I have ever visited in a very very long time. Fantastic food, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a food experience to savour for a very long time.

A great all day spot for coffee, lunch and evening dinner. Everything so fresh and tasty. And the service is friendly and welcoming.

We found this place on our holiday last week and it was fantastic. All the staff are so wonderful and our food was amazing i had the sticky Chinese pork thought i had gone to heaven, for mains seabass on prawn and crayfish risotto just stunning. It was so good we went back the next night. Next year its the first on our list to be booked. Customer service here was the best and they never stopped well done and thanks.

After visiting the Balti King, all I can say is that the food was tasteless, extremely overpriced, the service mediocre. All the Tikka dishes were an extreme disappointment, the saag paneer looked and tasted like it had Cheddar in it ! At least it tasted of something I suppose. The only saving grace was the veg Dhansak, albeit far too spicy for a relatively mild dish. If this is the best Indian in Cornwall I might suggest a visit to Manchester for some excellent quality Indian food at reasonable prices.

Absolutely fantastic. Fabulous food wonderfully presented. Imaginative, delicious and beautifully cooked. Great hospitality and wines. If you want a really memorable meal then this is the place and I think good value for the quality.

The Greenhouse came highly recommended and as I work and stay in St Keverne during the week it is fantastic to have such a quality restaurant on the doorstep. The food is superb, the setting is informal and very friendly. It is always worth booking ahead if you can, although I have got lucky a couple of times just turning up on the night. If you are in the area it is well worth a visit, actually it is worth a visit even if you are not that local! Even as I write this review, I have just decided to try and book a table for tonight! .

If you are visiting the Penzance/Carbis Bay/St Ives area a visit to this place is an ABSOLUTE must! The food is superb, the portions are massive and the desserts are to die for! We've been loads of times and never, ever fail to make at least one trip whenever we are in Cornwall. Their farm shop is also very good - packed with lots and lots of tasty, home produced food.

Another superb and perfect meal at The Greenhouse. Everything served in the restaurant is local and bursting with flavour. Five of us chose different dishes for each course and each was exquisite. Neil is wonderfully professional, friendly and calm at front of house while Leonie works magic in the kitchen. Booking is advisable but you might just be lucky if a table is turned early. A must for any trip to the area.

The poor quality food is only beaten by the staff attitude. To be fair when our waitress was fine, but when we complained to the 'manager' he couldn't care less. Would not reconmend to anyone.
