Catch Seafood, Bar & Grill in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Really lovely meal at Catch. Food was fresh and tasty. I had the Hake which was the catch of the day, highly recommend!

Love this restaurant, food was fabulous. Staff were delightful. We would definitely go again.

We just shared a gorgeous meat pizza and fries and dog friendly too 😊

Fantastic fresh fish lunch on a warm, sunny Saturday in February. Friendly service and great food.

20£ for a crab roll is too expensive, cold sandwich with not crab flavor, mostly rocket and bread. Prices too high for the quality and portions…

Came for a birthday lunch while on holiday. I had my eye on Catch for a while as I love seafood and wanted some fresh seafood while away. I went for the Surf ‘n’ Turf Flatbread Mezze. It wasn’t for me but I think I just chose the wrong thing as everyone else on the table enjoyed theirs. There was nothing wrong with it, it was delicious just not really what I wanted. But that’s on me for panic-ordering 😂 my partner had the mussel and crab linguine which was incredible. The others at the table had the burger and chicken n chips which both looked good too. The service was also very friendly :) It’s a great spot for sure and I will be back.

Absolutely wonderful lunch here for my friend's birthday. Beautiful food, decor and pleasant staff

Enjoyed a lovely pitstop lunch. Service was superb. Lighter batter and a proper portion of chips… not a triple cooked Jenga 6 chip special… Recommend

Very expensive, Very small portion

Friendly service and fantastic food. Would definitely go again

Great place for food or just a drink. Staff very helpful. Good menue and located just over the road from mawgan porth beach

A warm welcome and a great meal here. The food’s a bit pricey, but it’s well worth it :)

Called in for a late lunch with the pup, I'd been craving fish and chips and we were not disappointed. We had the hummus and soup to start, both gluten free and I was amazed to learn the crispy onions were gluten free (after me asking and checking more than once!) The gluten free fish and chips was fabulous, crispy batter, good sized fish. My partner had the seafood linguine and said it was amazing, couldn't finish it so took the rest home for later. Very dog friendly, even brought a few biscuits over for the pup. Would recommend.

Sat outside here in November after walking some of the coastal path. Lovely setting for a hot drink and cake.

Fantastic takeaway fish and chips. The homemade tartar sauce was delicious and a nice surprise!

After a dire experience at Wax in Watergate Bay (walked out), a quick phonecall to Catch had us a last minute table. The staff were incredibly accommodating for such short notice and made us feel very welcome, the atmosphere was great, and the food fantastic. The coconut curry was excellent.

Absolutely amazing. Gorgeous crab claw special, very generous portion. Delicious seafood chowder. Everyone else really happy with food including kids menu. Highly recommended. Visited October

We went here for lunch. It was very quiet given the time of year (October) but the food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. We had oysters, hake and chips and crab burger. All of the food was so fresh and well prepared. We couldn’t understand the 4.1 star rating when we left as it was a lovely experience and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area. Only constructive feedback would be to refresh the laminated menus, they were a bit grubby!

Lovely night out at the catch. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Lovely food too!

Excellent place to go after being mucky from the beach. Lovely little Sandie park area for kiddies. (Ours is 3 and autistic). Dog friendly.

Friendly staff. Good location. Dog friendly

we went in for a hot chocolate and latte and we were welcomed very beautifully. The server and bar staff were super chatty and friendly and did amazing jobs on our drinks! will definitely go back again:)

Great service very quick and genuine Kitchen timing on bringing out food was not great as partner finished his dinner before I had mine due to being returned for being undercooked did find cheff more interested in looking at surf conditions although. The service staff where very quick to correct any problems we had Regardless to timings starter dish of the (scolaps and chorizo) was lovely

The host and waitstaff were charming and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding as a result of two wonderful recommendations. The portions, presentation and especially the style and flavors were sublime. A+++ .

Fish was the worst fish I've had in cornwall and our server seemed like he didn't want to be there.

overpriced.fish and chips was small.steak was pricey.nothing exceptional except the bill.nice setting and good staff

Lovely location and very tasty food.

Went here once for dinner and once for breakfast. Both times we had great service and the food was delicious.

This place was just average unfortunately which is a shame as its in a lovely setting. Food was just ok.

We have eaten here before and it has been amazing. What a difference this visit was! Waiter who served us was miserable and couldn’t care less attitude made him very unapproachable. Drinks order took ages to be taken. Despite the restaurant being virtually empty (15:30 in the afternoon). Food when it arrived was underwhelming. The fish was dry and the chips tasted odd. The pizza was tasteless and the burger was average. Needless to say we are unlikely to frequent again despite this being such a lovely location. We had spent a year looking forward to this visit only to be extremely disappointed.

poor service from surly grumpy waiter who took our orders with a 'humph'. Despite only having 4 (inc us) tables occupied we had to search for someone to take our drinks order & then again to order food. Food passable but not what we've experienced in the past here, oil needs changing in fryers it left a bitter after taste on the batter. unlikely to return tbh

This was recommended to us by family and what an amazing meal it was! Yes it's a bit pricey, but forget the cost, honestly the most incredible food we have had in a while! We walked away after having an amazing culinary experience - with a beautiful starter of crispy squid and hummus, followed by veggie fish and chips (halloumi) and the fish chowder! All of it was utterly stunning! Paired with a glass of lovely New Zealand Sauvignon and a Poupot. The service was great, the staff were attentive and made for good entertainment, although it was occasionally difficult to get their attention. But we kept in mind that we were a walk in and didn't book. Can't wait to go back!

Excellent food, fish varies depending on catch, hake with patatas bravas was excellent, very friendly and warm welcome. Highly recommend.

Good quality-price plan. Excellent and well presented plate. Top notch service.

The chef and team here are genius - and the serving staff work incredibly nimbly with great attention to detail

The food here is truly exceptional. If only we weren’t staying for just one night.

This is not the place to go for settled mediocrity and an absence of weakness. There are flaws, mainly related to the service - drinks dumped unceremoniously on the table, distribute your own menus if you don't mind, etc. Anyway, all is forgiven as it's a new restaurant. However, much more importantly. It is the place to go if you want to see uncommon ambition in the kitchen, and when the chef pulls it off the results are fantastic. The steak was fantastic, the catch of the day was fantastic and the white chocolate bread and butter pudding divine. So, don't go if you like finding the odd flaw here or there. Do go if you want to enjoy just how far dining in this country has progressed in the last couple of decades. Bravo.

I do understand some comments that food can take a long time to arrive but bear in mind this is a hit spot for families (4+)...the place was full of families so imagine how many orders you gotta have in a day. Our food was amazing, we ordered a lot of seafood starters and some mains and all was delicious. It's well worth visiting

The restaurant's outdoor seating provided a stunning backdrop for a truly remarkable meal. Parking was easily accessible and free as we arrived slightly later in the evening. Every dish was a delight, especially the fresh and flavourful 'catch of the day' fish and chips. The drink menu was impressive, and the service was exceptional. The restaurant manager was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like valued guests. While the dessert was delicious, it was a slightly smaller portion and the option of outdoor heating would have been ideal. Although on the pricier side, the overall experience, including the impeccable service and breathtaking views, was absolutely worth it.

We are family of 4 spend £235 afternoons around 3:30, not a busy time. Service there was not good at all, had my drinks ordered first place, it takes long time after starter finished. They all went somewhere. Staff wondering around doing nothing. Have to call several time to get them attention and it seen no one wanting to serve the table. Food overcooked like kind of BBQ dark bread Has to ask for exchange. End up had different bread, avoid. Avoid

The service is underground. As others have written (especially in the last few days), you are ignored. Even though it wasn't busy (only five tables occupied), the staff walked past our table several times without bringing a card. The card only came after a request from the neighboring table. The drinks were taken, but no one came to choose the food for a long time. So the decision was made to eat somewhere else. Who does not want it, already has it...

Do not go here. We waited with young children for over two hours for our food.ordered at 12.30. Food arrived 2.30. No apology. Despite asking where it was just dismissed with “ a few mins”. After 2 hours I complained to the manager who very rudely informed me “you were told there would be a delay because of kitchen problems”. This was an outright lie and when I found out waitress to confront her with this lie - the waitress confirming we were never told - she didn’t have the decency to even apologise and instead told me off for complaining about the wait! I couldn’t believe the audacity. They will shut down very soon with this attitude but in the meantime - pls don’t ruin your day by going there.

Been going here for nearly eight years now and don’t normally write reviews. Service is appalling and no recognition of the wait for largely young families to be fed. Sat down at 7.30 and were served well after 10pm. Hopefully owners will do something rather than the same trite replies

We never got our main meals! - Avoid The park is a much better option or the pub across the road. We have been coming to Mawgan Porth for a number years now and we tried catch as a “treat” for the last day of our holiday. Lovely position by the beach, but that is the only positive I have to say about this restaurant. It took ages to take the order, or even get the attention of the staff. We finally got starters, but the mains never arrived we waited over two hours, for the mains. I was standing by the kitchen when the staff chased the order and it hadn't even been started. I was then assured “10 minutes” 15 minutes later I was asssured it was on the plate…. Then we were brought the wrong food. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Awful and for the price i would expect much better. Had we known this we would have just got for a pizza at Cornish fresh which again is better than this place…. Avoid.

Shell-shocked staff doing their best to stop a sinking ship. Food took an age to arrive which greatly differed from the description on the menu or photos on their website. Complaints from other tables could be heard all around us and with no little wonder. Waiting staff were dignified and apologetic and did not dodge the flying bullets that were going off around them.

Oh my, do book early, as you’ll be in for a LONG wait at this restaurant. When they say it’s the fresh catch of the day, I didn’t realise they would be literally setting sail when we ordered. It was hours until our order arrived. We weren’t alone either, the vibe in the whole place was grumpy. We were celebrating my wife’s 52nd birthday, by the time we left she was closer to 60! Poor staff, they were heads down, dodging the bullets. I hope this was an off night. I’ll be fishing for my own supper next time.

Nice and smiling people, full of positive energy

Fabulous meal. Helpful, friendly staff who went above and beyond to accommodate us and our dogs and a great atmosphere. The menu has some really interesting dishes on offer, not just the usual boring fare you often find. We went quite late in the evening and when we arrived it was absolutely buzzing. Brilliant find and we'll definitely return on our next holiday to Cornwall.

Excellent food: fish chowder was beautiful, a bit small for a main and needed more potato and veg but tasted amazing. If you like to have a dessert after it'd be perfect

Only had coffee, it's okay nothing special.

Great food and friendly staff. Lovely fish and chips. They have a ramp to the decking area and door and one table inside that is wheelchair accessible so I'd recommend booking in advance if you are a wheelchair user that prefers to eat inside.

Absolutely stunning breakfast went there by accident because wife forgot to bring our breakfast of Greek yogurt and granola so we pop in after a swim with the dogs and oh my god going back tomorrow superb

The venue looks the part but I was disappointed with the food. The crab sandwich had more green leaves than crab and my partners chowder contained potatoes that were barely cooked. Given the prices this was quite disappointing

Just had lunch there and the service was absolutely terrible. We sat outside and I had to go in to request menus as we were completely ignored. Then waited ages for our order to be taken and had to ask twice before someone eventually took it. Our drinks took 40 minutes to arrive and I had to chase them in twice. It took 3 requests to get some water and some glasses to drink it from. The food took an hour to come and again I had to chase it up. The staff seemed to have no idea of providing any sort of service. My husband said his fish and chips were awful. Huge shame as its a lovely setting and we previously had dinner there a couple of years ago and it was very good. Would definitely not recommend it now.

Wonderful restaurant in one of my favourite locations. The service and the food were both incredible.

We visited the Restaurant on a wet Friday afternoon, we were greeted and given a table for myself, my partner and our sopping wet pooch. We found the staff to be friendly and accommodating for both us and our pup. The food was delightful, I ordered the "Grilled daily catch" on this particular day the fish was Hake served with wilted vegetables and fries, fish was well cooked and fresh, the greens were seasoned well and delicous. Friendly staff, dog friendly, great food 5 🌟

Beautiful lunch at Catch this afternoon. Dog Friendly. From the minute we entered the staff were welcoming, friendly, full of knowledge and that continued during our service. Starters muscles and scallops full of flavour, mains curry and linguine all generous portions. The chef catered to my partners food intolerances, we could not of asked for more. The adaptions kept meals full of flavour. Highly recommend visiting, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to return.

Definitely a place to try I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised

Ate here a couple of times and both experiences were very different, but I would still go back (for dinner but not breakfast). Dinner was lovely- some people in my group had the fish, which was cooked well. I had the vegan chickpea curry, which was delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere and view was lovely. However, breakfast was a different story- burnt toast, missing components, missing orders, and 1 person had to wait 10 minutes after everyone started eating before getting their food… Service still good and they took food off the bill which was very decent of them.

Would highly recommend. We dined at 8pm - 4 adults and 2 six year old boys. The food came out quickly, was hot and exceptionally tasty. We ordered mussels, squid and the miso Frito starters then the seafood linguini main. This was super fresh and tasty. The wine was lovely too. The staff were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us.

We found a table and sat down, there were plenty of tables. My husband got the menus; admittedly we had not made a booking but it wasn’t particularly late. One waitress came over and asked us if we had made a booking, we said we had not. We can’t possibly serve you please leave; so we did. It was noticed by the next table, the lady looked shocked. Urgent improvements in customer service needed….

Magnificent meal, we will see you again before we go home ❤

Great food well cooked and presented, helpful friendly staff, what else is there!

Food was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced however some things to mention, whilst it looks open you cannot place any food ordered until 5pm and the staff where very slow to take orders. We waited 30 minutes to be asked what we wanted. That said, it is clean and modern inside and the food was nice and tasty. Solve the time and staff issue and you will have yourself a 5 star restaurant.

Nice ambient, opposite to the sea, nice terrace and great service but the food wasn´t the best, specially the truffled potatoes.

Front of house man Gareth is very friendly and amusing. The food and service is excellent and unobtrusive. We had the Misto Frito starter and Grilled catch of the day plus a seafood linguine. All perfectly cooked and served. Delicious! We will return!!

Went for lunch, lovely spot. Starters were OK, mains could only be described as awful. Mussels were cold and sent back, second portion also cold, I feel perhaps they had been pre cooked, chilled and thrown into the hot sauce at the last minute. My partner ordered the fish and chips, first portion luke warm, second attempt swimming in greece. Whilst I have sympathy for the lady trying to run the place, perhaps telling people on arrival that she was short staffed and a long wait was likely would have been helpful. Drinks took 20 minutes to arrive food slower still. Other people seemed to be having similar issues. Service is dreadful.

This place is amazing, still sat here leaving the review, the steak was incredible, didn’t even need the steak knife, the staff are really friendly and the place is just great. Cannot recommend enough.

Absolutely terrible service, there was only 4 tables at the time we were there and it took 30 mins for our drinks to arrive. Then when the food eventually arrived 4 out the 8 of us had very disappointing meals and had to complaint (we never complain). During which time another round of drinks ordered got forgotten! The venue and menu looked so promising but failed by a long ling way to deliver.

Great food but really terrible service 2 years in a row. Waiting for food for over an hour isn’t really acceptable and neither is waiting 30 mins + just for drinks, especially when its not particularly busy. Used to love coming but has really gone down hill. Please sort it out, used to be a great place for food anytime of day.

Disappointing and Rude Service I had high hopes for trying the seafood at this restaurant, so I didn't mind driving 10 miles to get there. However, my experience was utterly disappointing before I could even look at the menu. When I arrived and politely asked for a table for one, the hostess inquired, if I had a reservation. Despite responding that I didn't, she flat-out refused to seat me, even though there were plenty of empty tables and benches available outside. I repeated my request, but she denied me service again without any explanation. It's baffling how a restaurant would turn away a potential customer like that, especially when they had ample seating. I didn't even get a chance to see if their food was any good because of the shockingly unwelcoming and dismissive attitude displayed by the hostess. I had a fantastic fish in the pub next door!

Visited for a birthday celebration and were left somewhat disappointed. The catch of the day fish was quite well received however the curry and linguine were unfortunately both quite bland. For the price it certainly wasn't good enough. The service was friendly but not very well organised, with plates being cleared before everyone on the table had finished and starters arriving at different times. I were shocked that a pint of lime and lemonade to cost £6.50. This is simply ridiculous, and by far the most expensive I have ever experienced in any restaurant.

Had two great dinners here and the food was delicious and well priced. It’s not far from the beach and the coastal path so the view is great. But you do need to book if it’s a weekend/ peak season.

This was the third place we’ve eaten at in the area. The setting and ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. Unfortunately the service although polite was extremely slow. We dined at 6:30 and the restaurant was only a quarter full but not enough staff to cope. We waited a good 40 minutes for our main dish and then a good thirty minutes just for the dessert menu. The food was cooked well but potions were very small and the men in the group were disappointed. Dessert unfortunately were very disappointing and we had far better in the pub just a few paces along the road. Probably wouldn’t go back as the pub served better food and of a higher quality.

Just don't, go somewhere else. The food itself isn't all that bad, it just isn't worth anything like the cost - you'd think you're paying for premium but in actual facts its mediocre. Tasty enough but full of cheap shorts. And fix the delibated tiki hut roofon entry.

Ummm nah. Had been recommended this place, and I get it.....nice decor, great location.....all the right ingredients for a fab evening meal. But it was so average. Which we could've accepted if it wasn't for the hefty price tag. The 'chowder' is definitely not a chowder. 24 quid was an insult for this. It's more like a lazy moules mariniere with 3 very small lumps of fish in it. It was actually mostly padron peppers floating in cream. My other half can't eat peppers so that was a massive disappointment. Chips in rosemary very good and frito misto was tasty, but again not what I'd call a misto as such. Wouldn't go back. Not worth the money, as other reviews have stated.

Ok so firstly we did not have a reservation our fault, but we sat outside, whilst waiting several people came without pre booking, but we're offered a table inside, one couple even got free complimentary drinks even though they did not book, not once did the lady offer us a table if it became available, next the starters although very nice 2 x scallops for £14 thought was expensive, the squid was very nice. We then waited 20 mins for main course to arrive to say was disappointed was the understatement of the year fresh fish and chips the fish was ok but greasy and blaned even the rock salt did not lift it and worst still the frozen chips I questioned them only to be told they were pre cut from a reputable company, truthfully they were frozen kfc do the same type of chips and there bad, tartre sauce was nice but no taste to the food. Seafood linguine mmmm, no prawns, red salmon not very nice, a few muscles again very bland not seasoned if there was anyother seafood on the dish we could not find it. Whilst I appreciate the restaurant was busy it was the only one in the area, the road to Newquay was closed which is why we stopped there. Will say will not be going back anytime soon, so at a cost of £80 most disappointing oh and we only had 2 soft drinks.

Great lobster 🦞 would highly recommend

I ordered fish and chips. The amount of fish was very small, with excess batter. The chips were over done. I was very disappointed given this place claims to be a sea food restaurant

We went to Catch with my husband and children, 20 and 17 for dinner. After reading the reviews we were looking forward to it but were very disappointed. We were told only 2 chefs were in, it made new think the head chef was off after we ordered. My son ordered chicken wings to start which were disgusting, they were beige, no flavour and were tasteless. My husbands calamari was good. I ordered the crab and mussel linguini and sent it back. There was no chilli in it, no crab and in a watery liquid, the linguini had been broken up into 2inch pieces. Another was made with a thick cream sauce, again no crab and a few green chilli’s, inedible. My husband had plaice which was tiny and new potatoes that were like school potatoes, for £30 it was a joke. We definitely wouldn’t recommend, top price for poor food. The only thing I can say is the waitress was lovely, a bit out of her depth when we complained, and another couple complained about their food, but nice girl. Since been to Carbis Beach Club which was fantastic, take the trip!

unusually quiet but wonderful lunch and service

Fabulous place, really welcoming and great food. We were able to take our young dog along with us on both occasions we visited and were given a table with few distractions so that we could enjoy our meal in peace. We enjoyed a lunch on the terrace with great sea views. The food was so good and reasonably priced,we decided to return for an alternative Sunday lunch - not cheap, but excellent value at around £50 a head for 2 courses with drinks.

The service was too slow. Waited 40 minutes for the appetizer, another hour for the mains. The tomato soup for the starter was ok, but the crab roll for the main course was a bit dry despite having too much mayonnaise. Overall, the food seems to be overpriced.

The restaurant itself looks very cute and the staff is welcoming. As for the food, it was disappointing. Firstly, we waited an hour for our food even though the restaurant was half empty. After one hour I went to a counter and ask at the counter about our order. Secondly, the quality of the seafood is questionable. My friend ordered oysters and they were cloudy and tasted strange. The Fish & Chips and crab roll were edible, but nothing more. However, for such quality, they were definitely overpriced. I had the Chowder. It was tasty, but £24 for such a small bowl is a bit excessive. I'm unlikely to go here again.

Perhaps I was invisible. I sat waiting for my order to be taken for almost 20minutes. Three waitresses came out to attend to other sat nearby, once to ask if anybody needed more drinks which they didn’t. Nobody even look in my direction. Went to the pub opposite, fantastic service and great food.

Really lovely warm welcome, the freshest of locally caught fish perfectly prepared and lovely service - my new favourite place

Absolutely delicious food with lovely and welcoming staff! Super dog friendly with fabulous decor in the restaurant… Super yummy food! ❤️❤️❤️

A really nice little joint right next to the water and across from the beachfront. We had the fried calamari, the fish and chips and a rainbow salad along with a few drinks. The owner or chef came out and moved us around a bit to help us find a good spot in the sun out of the wind. All of the food was lovely, with generous servings and fresh fish. My beer (an Atlantic Ale) was also great. Next time I'll try the mussels, they looked good.

Absolutely fantastic. I booked online for my partners birthday while on holiday. Wow the food was absolutely fantastic aimi had mussels 👌they was beautiful I had scallops unreal flavour, then we had steak and prawns I've never had such fresh prawns and the steak was gorgeous with a glass of presseco to say happy birthday, such a lovely location fantastic staff,The whole experience was brilliant and very personal I would definitely recommend.

Excellent but lobster very expensive

Best food and vibe in 5 years of living in Cornwall. Highly recommend

A modern trendy place with a great menu. Most was great but 2 meals of chowder were just 6 mussels and a few new potatoes . Cost: £24 per person. I complained but no one was interested in making this better.

Went to Mawgan Porth and found this superb little restaurant. We enquired about a late lunch early dinner with two dogs and couldn't have been made more welcome. The restaurant is bright and has lots of room, decorated with a coastal theme as you'd probably expect being right on the ⛱️beach. Food was superb, fish and chips, fish catch of the day (hake cooked to perfection) burgers and pizza, they have it all. Great young chef, lovely staff. If you're in the area you really should give it a go, you'll have missed it if you don't. We'll definitely be back.

We love this place. As locals, we come back time and again. Food, service and atmosphere always brilliant! The normal weekday menu and surf and turf’ dishes are great, Sunday roast always exceptional. Dogs always welcome and treated like special guests.

Delicious food, great relaxed atmosphere. Kids laughing with full belly's.

I think we must have been on a bad day. The food was nice, if somewhat pricey. However, the service was extremely disappointing. Our initial order was promptly dealt with, but we then waited 45 minutes for our plates to be cleared despite trying to attract staff's attention multiple times. Then had to ask for the dessert menu as it wasn't offered. Our waiter's "humour" was questionable, and he disappeared for a large chunk of time with no-one covering him and at no point was an apology made for the amount of time we had to wait. There were signs up advertising for "staff wanted", in my view this can't come soon enough!

Our last night of a week eating out in north Cornwall. This was the best! The freshest fish, beautifully cooked. Fish platter was simply perfect in a superb stock. The staff were up to speed and easy going. Could not have been better.

Wonderful place to eat xxxx even cater for the dog 🐶 xxx

Fish and chips and the vegan tacos were lovely! Great staff, comfortable seating and nice atmosphere. Definitely going back.

Across the road from the beach, this is a great spot with friendly staff and great food. It's very popular, so advise booking ahead.
