We attempted to visit this cafe today around 3pm and we were immediately greeted with a statement from a staff member, spoken loudly in front of the other diners, that we could only have tea and cake as lunches have stopped or âwe would be open all day!!âWe only wanted a cream tea, but we were never asked what we wanted and we left - in our opinion the style of customer service was rude and abrasive and I am aware other reviews that highlight other occasions when that attitude of staff was poor and/or unacceptable We will never use this cafe and I would advise other visitors to Port Isaac that there are many other options for refreshments in the village..... just keep walking.

Out of 7 places to eat in Port Isaac we chose to eat in the pub, mainly due to watching Doc Martin so had to go inside. Its dog friendly downstairs and it has an upstairs with a view of port. Had to eat with our coats on as it was very cold in the pub. The food is good pub grub. Disagree with a previous review about it being a small pub as its a traditional fishing village with lots of old quaint buildings, no way to add an extension or you'd be in the sea!I do agree about it being abit wiffy of toilet smell. It smelt of cleaning products. Shame the windows couldnt have been cleaned though.Staff very friendly. Good cornish larger.

Had an evening meal with friends in the restaurant during a recent visit to Port Isaac.Good menu and friendly efficient service. Food was tasty. Personally I had the fish pie which I felt was lacking in fish, which was a bit disappointing.Nevertheless it is a lovely restaurant and I would recommend a visit if you are in and around Port Isaac.

We had a fabulous time in Port Issac and can highly recommend this B&B. It is located in easy walking distance of the village of port Issac made famous as the location where they film Doc Martin. Steve welcomed us warmly and helped us park right outside. He then showed us to our room and gave us lots of helpful information about the area. The room was very clean and modern. It was at the back of the house and extremely peaceful with possibly the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. There was plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room with a supply on the landing if we wanted more. Breakfast was full English with all the trimmings plus a selection of cereal fresh fruit and yogurt. Oh and the tea was real not bags which is a rare find but much appreciated. Overall a great example of a B&B run by a friendly couple who have got everything right.

Went for a meal on a Friday whilst staying in Port Isaac. Nice atmosphere, food was very good - crab linguine, burger was moist and full of flavour and the chips the best we've had. Service was prompt but not obtrusive. Would highly recommend.

Old Chapel converted into small cafe plus lots of items for sale such as handbags, clothes, vases, lamps, jewellery to name but a few. Tables quite cramped together on only half of the ground floor as other half plus all the upstairs were goods to buy. Did note a vase at £500! We waited rather a long time to be served before we were noticed but the servers were very friendly. We were going to have lunch, but found it very overpriced I.e. jacket potato with prawns £10! Soup £6.50.We settled for coffee and shortbread...the shortbread was ok but quite thick and soft...am sure I detected a hint of lemon in it which I am not keen on.Dogs are allowed in, but if each table had a dog then it would be even more cramped.Disappointing overall, for us.
