Ideal one night stop during a three day burst of cliff walking. Very friendly welcome and with the exception of the lack of a Vodafone signal - even standing on the outdoor fire escape! - we really enjoyed our stay.Dinner was really good with excellent fish in particular and the full breakfast was just what you need before nine more miles going up, down along the cliff path.The room was spacious with a modern shower room and despite being right on the square sleep time was really quiet from around 2200hrs.Highly recommend and reasonably priced.We're really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and that we set you up well for your next day walking our beautiful coastal path. Unfortunately a lack of reception for some mobile phone networks is still something of a curse for very rural Cornwall - a pay off the peace and quiet!

A great evening in a beautiful restaurant with a great ambience.Great local food. We enjoyed the pork belly and steak. As a group we tried a variety of desserts including the brownie, ginger pudding, creme brulee and the chesse board. All were first class.Lovely to be offered the local Cornish gin.

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.

Had eaten here in 2016 so booked for this holiday with slight trepidation because of the change of ownership earlier this year.....unfounded!Still fantastic! Cucumber water on arrival with rosemary foccacia and vegetable crisps, so glad the new owners have retained some of the excellent touches.Between the four of us we had, chowder, scallops, trio of fish, steak, cod and mushroom risotto, everything was spot on, absolutely delicious!My one, slight, moan is that the desserts seemed a little lacklustre, so much so that none of us ordered any which is highly unusual for our group That said, it will be our first call on our next trip to Cornwall

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!

3. 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.

We are a family run café located just outside Porthallow - our opening hours are on our website. We are dog friendly, open all year round and have outside seating for busy periods. We are a short walk to Porthallow Cove which is also dog friendly.

No trip to Porthallow is complete without a visit here. We had very good coffee and delicious pastries but could just have easily ordered a variety of very appealing lunch options.

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.
