I booked a table by phone and was surprised to find the Pub restaurant almost empty. We were worried whether this was because the food was not up to much but were in for a surprise.The roast lamb with vegetables we ordered was lovely and rich, very tasty.Quite a different experience from other Sunday roasts in town recently, which haven't been up to scratch one way or another, from lukewarm or uncrispy roast potatoes or swimming in gravy.We found out later that the Pub had only just restarted offering Sunday lunches.Definitely worth another visit or two.

Following a friend's recemmendation, I called here for lunch on a bitterly cold day.On entering the cafe, I was impressed by how light, airy and warm it was, with a log burning stove providing welcome heat, and tables well set out with plenty of room between them. A blackboard behind the counter displayed the day's selection of seasonal lunches. Although there were only three choices of main course, they all looked appetising. I chose the chicken and leek pie, with carrot and beetroot saled, which came with a mint based dressing. This made for a delicious combination, of flavours, but left room fo me to indulge in a dessert. For this, I chose apple crumble with Roskilly's ice cream, which was also very tasty. I rounded my meal off with a pot of tea. The service was very good and the ambience of the cafe made this a very enjoyable experience. I was pleased to see that dogs are welcomed here and I look forward to returning with my family and our dog.Apologies for the slow response, but thank you for your positive feedback, and very glad you enjoyed the experience with us! Look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent tasty beautifully presented inventive food for supper. One of the best desserts I have ever had, strawberry ice cream covering fig leaf sorbet with hazelnuts, and fresh strawberry pieces. Couldnât recommend more highly. Lovely friendly staff. Thank you for this great review. I'm definitely going up to try this pudding now!

What an amazing find of a restaurant tucked away in a small Cornish village.This is London quality food and service in a charming location over looking the harbour.There were two fantastically priced set menus to choose from, with some flexibility between the two menus.Four of us had a fantastic evening with the most amazing food cooked to perfection. My friend was particularly impressed with the blue cheese ice cream.Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Modern Bistro run by 2 chefs, Leonie & Neil Woodward. Michelin guide since 2009. Cornwall finalist restaurant of the year 2016. Fresh fish, local rare breed meat, local vegetables make up the weekly menu. Some Sunday lunches.
Reviewed By OnTheRoadAgain2240
We have tried to get in before. You won't get in without booking a table. This place is rather small, so seating is limited. The menu is limited, but superb, creative, and beautiful. I had a crab paté as a starter that was fantastic and beautiful. My main was broiled sea scallops that were perfectly cooked. We splurged and split a dessert consisting of rhubarb, Chantilly cream, custard, meringue, and ginger. How eye-catching. I want to go again!
2. Grove Cafe & Wellbeing Studio

New exciting cafe created and run by Carl and Rachel Grove Also a fantastic studio space accommodating many lifestyle activities.
Reviewed By lizbrian
The Grove has a relatively simple menu which packs some real flavour punches. There are great soups, quiches, salads and daily specials on offer with a real seasonal flavour. The cakes are far too tempting to resist and the savoury scones are exceptional. Everything is freshly prepared using local and ethically sourced ingredients. Great if you are looking for really good gluten free or vegan food. Fairtrade tea, coffee and hot chocolate are served. A review does not do this cafe justice. You really do need to try it. Booking is essential for lunchtimes.
