We were looked after so well from the moment we arrived. A couple of our party had complex dietary requirements, but the restaurant went above and beyond to make sure they were catered for. The chef/owner came out to fully understand our requirements and she clearly had good knowledge of food intolerance and allergies. I can not recommend them highly enough. We all had a great meal.So pleased that we met you, and remember if you give me 24 hours notice I am very happy to make you something special that is gluten free that you all can enjoy too !Regards Harriet and Kim

This is a pub on the quay at Mousehole.
Reviewed By Francis C
Don't get me wrong, this is a great pub. The menu was very properly limited, suggesting at least, home cooked food, and the food was really ample and totally delicious. Lots of well cooked veg with the chicken I ordered. The pub, on an October Sunday, was crammed. Entering earlier to check availability, the barman seemed a tad annoyed at the distraction, and certainly when I ordered my food and drink, he was at best sullen.However, when he was later clearing tables, he was very engaging. So, bit of a mix.If you come to this pub, you HAVE to be comfortable with dogs. Most locals surround the bar accompanied by several dogs of assorted sizes and various shapes. But if that's OK, and it was for me, then this is a place for excellent food.Thank you for your visit and your review, we are delighted that you have enjoyed your time with us and we hope that you will return for another visit soon!

Friendly, really friendly. Gail and her team make any visit here a treat. Try the Newlyn crab soup, its just perfect and the fisherman's lunch is exceptional (when was the lady time you had a pickled walnut in your salad?) Great pasties, specials board and cream teas and a good choice for the kids. Accommodating, flexible, can't speak highly enough of the Four Ts.Hi Mark,What a lovely review. Many thanks for your comments, we aim to please and we definitely enjoyed your visit with usThe flavours of our Newlyn Crab Soup are rich and intense and as it is made from fresh ingredients in our kitchen, by my husband our chef, I'm not surprised you loved it!I hope we see you again next time you are in Mousehole.Best wishesGail

Called on spec, not visited for a year or two. We were not disappointed. We had grandchildren aged 5 and 1 with us and the children's menu.was excellent. We had Jake and braised lamb, both perfect. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Their attitude and personality were amazing and a lovely young team they were. The desserts were superb too.

Staying in Mousehole, on night 2 I sought a place to eat, and this looked attractive.I had to eat a bit earlier than I intended, as they take last orders at 6pm. However, the menu in the window looked good, sea food biased, and so I went in.It was very good. The menu had interesting dishes and I chose the sea food soup. very tasty and the fresh bread with it was excellent.The service was friendly. portions generous, and the cafe was clean and tidy and attractively set.Overall a very good eating experience. Well done.

What an absolute gem of a find this place is! We parked in the car park and because we were looking for some lunch thought weâd check it out. We sat looking at the sea over the rock pool and had the best crab sandwiches ever! We enjoyed it so much that we went back the following day for a delicious cream tea.

Oh yes this is good - very good indeed. After a day spent largely in an autumnal Cornish downpour, a quick change was followed by dinner in Mousehole. And what a treat it was! They really do make the most of local food at Fore Street - including Newlyn crab in one souffle & Cornish blue cheese in another, local sea bass, hake, and West Country fillet steak. And a sticky toffee pudding that was the equal of any I've ever had. I didn't eat everything I've mentioned here - but I could have done. A terrific cocktails list and a very decent selection of wines by the glass & the bottle, all served with warmth & enthusiasm, made for a memorable meal and a lovely end to our first day down in the far West.

We had drinks here one night, and came back the next night for dinner. We loved the warm, cosy decor, good choice of drinks and pretty good food. The only thing that wasnât great was the service; a lot of errors both times, the staff were friendly but lacked professionalism. They forgot to bring menus and to seat us in the restaurant until well after the reservation time, and every drinks order was messed up. All in all, however, we forgave the slapdash service because the ambiance and food made up for it. We would go again if we were in the area.Good evening honeyHenleyonThames,Thank you for your time writing this review.I am happy to hear that you loved the atmosphere of the Restaurant, and I will be sure to pass on your comments about the food on to the kitchen.I am sorry that the service was not to the standards that you wanted. Please feel free to contact the management team via phone or by emailing us at [email protected] to provide some extra information, so that we can work to insure that this does not happen again. We appreciate all feedback to help our eccentric charmed slice of Penzance grow.Kind RegardsRyanDuty manager
