Jun 17, 2026"From Glasgow, visiting family in Cornwall and came here for food and drinks. We sat outside as we had a dog, lovely weather and fantastic views. Food was good, service and staff were good. Had a really nice time here, even though for no reason, some idiot young lads thought it necessary to wind up and annoy our dog. Child and dog welcoming."

We ordered 2 pints of Offshore with our food, which were flat and replaced as soon as we highlighted this to the bar staff. Waited 20 mins for food, which we didn't mind as was looking out over St. Ives Bay. When they arrived, the portions were ample and tasty. This is run by Haven but open to anyone who walks in."

May 18, 2026"Our first visit, and there are a couple of things worth knowing before you go. If you’re not staying on a Haven site, you’ll need to pay for parking, which is something to factor in. Also, the drinks were noticeably more expensive than what we’d paid the day before in Falmouth, so it’s not the cheapest stop for refreshments. That said, the setting really is the standout. On a clear day, the views are absolutely stunning and more than make up for the higher prices—it’s the kind of place where you can happily sit and take it all in for a while. There’s a relaxed, holiday feel about it, and plenty of seating to make the most of the scenery. Service was smooth enough, and everything felt clean and well maintained. Overall, while it’s not the best value compared to nearby towns, it’s definitely worth a visit for the location alone—perfect for a scenic pause rather than a budget-friendly stop."
