A small family run business with fantastic food and very friendly service.
Reviewed By ScillyMike
Having spent my youth in Bradford, I have always struggled to find F&Cs of comparable quality. My search is over. The fish was stunning and the chips delicious.Cooking in beef dripping makes all the difference, even my vegetarian fish eating wife commented on how nice they were !Holidaying in Austria soon - must make a mental note to taste theirs :-)

Reviewed By Paul H
Very much a pub that does food from it's interior décor, comfortable and quiet.Food aims high and mainly succeeds in being big flavoured, generous fine dining. Service is friendly and good.Brill with squid ink tagliatelle with crab was a hit, but Monkfish with a kipper velouté was maybe a little too smoked kipper for some tastes.

We spent the whole day wondering where we could go for dinner and after walking past the restaurant decided this is where we would go. Thankfully they had a table for us that evening and we weren't disappointed. The food was all perfect and very fresh. Will certainly be making a point of going back next time we're in Cornwall.

The Old Lifeboat House has great character and they have used it well to create a really nice dining experience. They offer great service and welcomed our dog to sit quietly under the table. The menu is good with plenty of fish options. The quality, flavours and presentation were fantastic and the Chocolate Affogato to finish - superb. Thoroughly recommend.

Ate in Red Lion 3 times whilst on our week to Newlyn on final night husband ordered the fish pie - he found a piece of what looked and felt like pottery in it - when he told the chef she said it was crab shell. My husband said it felt like it had nearly broken his tooth she said âYou poor f***er I wonât charge for itâ - appalling - horrible end to a lovely week

Reviewed By cpostrophe
Exquisite seafood-focused tasting menu with interesting Japanese influences, but not being gimmicky or fusion-y. It's more than just a "one-man" show now as the chef has staff to handle the front of the house, but Bruce also likes to chat with diners after their meal, which is awesome experience. He's a charming, enthusiastic host, and his energy manifests in all of his dishes.
