We were lucky to find this place whilst out for a drive for lunch on our holidays.
What a wonderful find. We were so impressed we returned the next evening, the place was busy but the staff were first class matching the food. The finest pork I have ever tasted.
10/10 Cant be faulted

Staying in the culinary desert that is Perranporth we took the back road on a rainy July night to this fabulous spot.
Very popular but able to cope the staff were courteous and friendly. Would the food live up to the standards? Excellent. Well presented reasonably priced and an excellent wine list. Would definitely recommend.

Although the food at the smugglers is ok, it is not acceptable for a place not to receive criticism. We dined here on Monday evening and ordered 2 portions of sardines on one plate as a starter to share between 3 of us. The specials board read 'butterflied sardines', so we were surprised when our starter arrived to only fined 2 sardines on the plate. We check with the waitress, she told us it was 2 portions, so we complained to the manageress. she told us to our surprise that the chef had though the sardines so big that he was only giving one per portion!? In my book it would have to be one huge sardine to justify £5.50!! I was sharply told not to raise my voice by the manageress who didn't seem to think there a problem with this. Two minutes later she unashamedly wiped of the 's' from the end of sardines on the specials board.
On paying our bill I was only charged for 1 portion of sardines but this was only because of a matter of grammer, not because they felt guilty of ripping you off. It was explained to me by the manageress that soup was £5.00 and that didn't cost much to make so it was ok to charge £5.50 for one sardine.
I was treated with scorn for my complaint and will never eat there again, which is a shame because I quite like the place.

Smugglers Den is such a beautiful quiet spot. We enjoyed a lovely light Lunch outside. Menu has plenty to choose from and cooked to perfection. Would thoroughly recommend and can't wait to go in the evening.

We found this on the night Boscastle was flooded! It was so cosy and was packed that night - we had to wait a bit because we didn? book for a table but it was great. The food was amazing, service good and it is hidden deep in a valley
