Reviews in Cornwall

not a vegi myself but the food here is just amazin'..send the chocolate brownie to my daughter away at uni, reminds her of home...yummy

We stayed and ate at the Fowey Hotel last week and feel compelled to mention that we had a wonderful night away. The food was truly memorable, the staff were attentive with just the right amount of attention and so friendly/welcoming. We took advantage of the nightly offer including Dinner, Bed and Breakfast and consider this to be exceptional value for money, we recommend spending a little more and upgrading to a sea facing Select or Premier room as the views are truly breath taking. Parking is a little tight so do book a parking space on making your reservation, it's worth it. We will definitely be returning as there is so much we would like to see and do, a Cornish gem that we will recommend to all our friends, thank you. S and J

Really enjoyed a meal here last week! I had been meaning to eat here for a while but it is a road trip for us.... Worth it though! The atmosphere was lovely, helped by the lighting. The waiter was charming and professional and bucked the norm in these parts by being engaged and happy in his work. The food was refreshingly different using flavour combinations that you don't expect or see very often and above all keeping things simple. Starters of scallops with blood orange salad and Moroccan Chemoula dressing and a twice baked cheese souffle with pecan, fig and chicory impressed us both. Mains of duck with a root veg rosti, perfectly judged greens and a quince and sherry jus and mushroom and blue cheese fettuccine with shallot, rocket and truffle oil was cooked beautifully and had bold, clean and deep flavour. Dessert of rice pudding with rhubarb and a wine with each course, would have cost well over £100 elsewhere but only £80 here. Excellent!

Lovely setting, lovely food

Always greeted with a warm welcome food and service always excellent children's menu

This beach café even on a dull day seems to be sunny inside with an almost Mediterranean atmosphere and a view over Porthminster beach. The staff are informal and welcoming and the tempting menu has a range of unusual dishes usually featuring very fresh fish cooked imaginatively..Puddings are delicious and the wines are reasonably priced.

Kowabungas is a lively fun and funky Internet Cafe and take away. It also has a seating are out the back. Very reasonably priced they do great salads, jacket potatoes, home-made soups, baguettes, paninis and delicious wraps (try the falafel feast!!)...also smoothies and shakes!

Kier Meikle of the Navy Inn owes me almost £200 in EARNED wages. Please do the right thing and do not support an employer who does not pay his staff. There are many other restaurants in Penzance which offer better service and better food at a better price. In short, I did trial at the Navy under the agreement I would be earning £250 per week. I worked the week, and recieved £69. Apparently the owner and I "agreed" on this, although no conversation ever took place where I was told that for one day I would be working for no payment whatsoever, and the rest I would be getting minimum wage of £4.83 p/h. I would also warn you that this chef regularly yells at customers, kicks them out, makes people leave if they aren't spending enough and someone could sit at their table and spend more.

Another superb meal at S.Dicks. We didn't realise how big the portions were last time so we simply ordered a few starters this time between us! Staff can make or break an evening and they are so pleasant and not constantly interrupting your meal here. Couldn 't manage a pud but saw some huge ones appearing from the kitchen. 40 30 mile round trip for us but as Wadebridge is so dire I don't mind driving. 10 out of 10 everytime!

OVER PRICED AND EMPTY AT 8PM ON A SATURDAY NIGHT...SAYS IT ALL

My fiancee and i were visiting family in Penzance in February 2010. We ended up having our breakfast here every morning for a week. The food was amazing, the staff always friendly and the hot chocolates were the perfect thing for a cold morning. We both look forward to the day when we can come back.

We visited St. Mary's earlier this year for the first time, and enjoyed a visit to The Deli where I purchased a shopping bag with "Scilly Old Bag" printed on it. My daughter was upset that I didn't bring her one back!! I was just wondering if it is possible to buy one from you over the Internet in time for a Christmas surprise for her. Await your reply with fingers crossed.

We first came here after diving at Porthkerris and were recommended by our coeliac friend who had found it the evening before. The 4 of us returned and had a wonderful meal , great wine , exemplary service and very reasonable price. Our coeliac friend watched us munch the fresh bread and oil enviously and was delighted when a corn tortilla was brought out for her. Much appreciated.Our next trip to Porthkerris was cancelled due to bad weather but we drove to the Lizard from Warwick to keep our Saturday night reservation . Again the food was excellent , we shared a fresh mackerel to start , then I had Sea Bass and my husband Pork . Delicious.We overheard the next table saying that the fishcakes were the best they had tasted and we believed it. Wish we lived closer...

Ok but rather chilly atmosphere. Main course chicken was very ordinary and polenta not very nice. Deconstructed millionaires shortbread fab.

I was visiting Bude last week and could not wait to revisit this restaurant as I have so many happy memories from previous occasions. As I was staying for two weeks I did manage to visit on three occasion and while I cannot complain about the food - the crispy duck is just superb - I have to say I was quite annoyed about the quality of service to customers. When you advertise an opening time of 1730, why must a group of us stand outside in the pouring rain until 1745 even though the staff could see the remaining two of us dripping wet (two of our friends gave up and left). Knocking on the door and pointing at my watch brought one member to half open the door and ask if we had booked - we felt it seems, reluctantly let in and there was no interaction for the rest of the evening. To be honest, this was appalling and spoiled the evening. On the same evening a lady came in requesting a table for one and was told they were fully booked, at the same time bookings were still being taken on the phone for later and we were the only table eating. One hour later, still only two tables were taken and I am sure this lady could have sat. Aside from one Chinese lady who was brilliant, I believe some staff training is needed and less emphasis placed on anticipated delivery orders. Great food, very poor customer service

THE BEST MEAL AT GOOD PRICE I HAVE HAD THIS YEAR.GOOD FOR DOG WALKING AND A PINT AFTERWARDS

Fantastic! Portions are simply enormous and so reasonable. I agree entirely with another comment that Rock/Wadebridge would do well to follow where Senor Dicks leads on a good night out with smiling knowledgeable staff.

Returned here with family after visiting a couple of months ago. We came for lunch on a beautiful October day and sat outside in one of the converted beach huts wrapped up in cosy blankets. The staff on all three of my visits have been fantastic - helpful, knowledgeable and friendly with toys to entertain the little ones. We had delicious tapas - the haloumi really is amazing and we will be back again soon. There is only one tiny thing I would change - we ordered a children's humous which they usually love but they wouldn't touch as it was bright green. It was delicious but children and green food don't really work (in our house anyway!)
