I'm uncertain why people berate businesses for serving expensive food in tourist hot spots in reviews. I'm a regular to this neck of the woods (I remember when nobody knew the place prior to the DocM takeover, you could still get a car parking space in the smaller and only car park and property prices weren't excluding locals) and if you drop into this place you've got to expect local people to make money whilst the sun shines. We dropped in after our there-and-back to Port Quinn and had three hot drinks and cake for £22. If I did that in York, Bristol, London or Edinburgh I wouldn't see the change out of £30 so I think the prices are pitched perfectly tbh. Service was rapid and perfectly polite and my slice of coffee cake could have gone to work by itself considering its size! The nipper saved half of her rocky road for later. The place is dog friendly and the local hound (which I'm sure is the Port's answer to Padstein's Chalky) is a kindly animal who loves a tickle. I'm not a dog fan myself but it adds to general homely feel of the place which is never short of passing customers looking to rest their legs after either a) that strenuous walk up the hill or b) an actual walk along the coast. Don't expect to pay in cash. It's 2025 after all.

What a great find. We stumbled across this lovely place near Doc Martin's house. Staff were lovely and the food was excellent.... Beautifully presented, tasty and probably the best cheese baguette I've ever had. The homemade coleslaw was delightful too. Shame you were so quiet on the day we visited which made the atmosphere a bit cold. Best wishes for the summer season of 2025. Keep up the good work and we'll hopefully come again soon.

The service was so friendly, they couldn’t do enough for us (even popping extra gravy in a teapot!!) The roast dinners were delicious, especially the slow roasted pork, and my Dad really enjoyed the Bouillabaisse. I am in Port Isaac every year and already looking forward to my next visit!

What a great find a few feet away from the port. So atmospheric, a converted chapel with a huge amount of character. The fish and chips are to die for, (not your chippy version of f&c so dont expect that) , just as a cornish fishing village should be serving its local food, beautiful. They accept dogs, which is a massive plus, staff were fabulous and very courteous. Can't fault it, highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I called in here with my dogs for a lunch stop (obviously dog friendly) and what a great find this was. Firstly the place had a great feel about it being set in an old Chapel as its name would suggest and it had a nice cosy relaxed vibe. The food was great and the service very friendly and helpful which is always appreciated when I'm flying solo with 2 dogs! After my lunch I went upstairs to walk round the gallery to look at some of the objects and interpretation panels about the history of the Chapel and Port Isaac in general. This is well worth a peek but watch your footing the stairs are quite steep and it's not always easy negotiating the seated areas although I did have 2 dogs in tow! I would happily recommend The Chapel and indeed I made a return visit before we left to head back home to savour their cuisine again.

We were a group of eight friends, visiting Port Isaac for the weekend. The chapel roast was recommended to us by a local couple. Four of us had pork and four had the sirloin beef. Both dishes came with Yorkshire puddings( pretty large) carrots, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. All home made and as side dishes. The gravy was delicious and the roast potatoes were perfect. The beef was particularly pleasing , just melt in the mouth, delicious. The portions were plentiful and each of us agreed it was the best roast we have had in a long time. To top it off we were able to bring our own wine which made the bill very reasonable.. the staff were fabulous, helpful, efficient and friendly. We highly recommend it.

I have just walked through my front door after what I can only describe as the best Sunday Roast I have had in many years. My friend and I had the beef which was a combination of sirloin and feather blade of beef both were cooked to perfection. The gravy/jus was rich and very tasty. A superb vegetable selection including carrots glazed with orange juice, cauliflower cheese and greens. As my friend reached out to the serving dish to fork the last couple of bits of carrot I suffered from one of those rare nasty thought moments which involved my fork being stuck in the back of her hand so I could have them! The roast potatoes were great (which is not something you can say about those served by many places) these were light and crispy. The Yorkshire pud was larger than I needed but not oversized, it was average in quality which coming from me is a major compliment. How I wish restaurants served bun tin sized Yorkshires as we did/do at my home. As I neared the bottom of my generous plate of food I commented to my friend "wow this is one of those moments you wish you had a spoon to get that last scraping of gravy up" her response "you are not kidding, I could lick the plate." With a quick glance at each other our cutlery went down and we both tore up our remaining bits of Yorkshire pud and mopped our plates down! The team working at The Chapel were all pleasant and attentive without being irritatingly too present. I suspect some reading this will know what that means. I only recently became a permanent resident of Port Isaac so this was my first visit to The Chapel. I was delighted with the ambience and decor of the place. The tables are nicely spaced so you can have a conversation without feeling like you are entertaining the people on the next table but at the same time feel a part of the place. I suppose my only grouch would be that because of its structure it is quite a cool temp place. This was fine and it was not uncomfortably cold however despite being served on piping hot plates your food goes cold much quicker in a coldish environment and I do like my food to stay hot for as long as possible. I am glad I was not there with another of my friends as she despises food as it goes cold so she eats her full meal like a starving wolf and before I have had my second mouthful (what a waste of sometimes beautiful flavours.) The restaurant/cafe is dog friendly and this is brilliant. My friend and I are both dog owners though on this occasion decided to have a "grown up" trip out without them. At the busiest dog moment this lunch time there were 6 dogs all of whom were peacefully asleep by their owners. Good dogs and good owners make for a happy combination in eateries. I say this praying that when I come in with my eldest girl she does not have a giddy moment when we first arrive! Oh my only other grouch has nothing to do with the place but instead the annoying man in front of us who was sat with his back to us but felt the need to keep turning round and staring at me - 12x long stares and that was only from when I started counting. My friend said "does he think he knows you?" Maybe he did but I didn't know him LOL. Oh well there is nowt so queer as folk! Not bad to only have two grouches and one totally unrelated to the place, its food and its team. Hats off to you Team The Chapel. I am sitting in my patio windows looking down the hill at you and the rest of beautiful Port Isaac as I type. Tomorrow morning do not be surprised to find a pulley rope with a basket has been installed over night so you can do all my meals without me having to walk down I cannot think of anything better than eating from your kitchen on a daily basis. Mind perhaps I would need that hill walk home! Thank you for being the best meal out in years.

We visited Port Isaac 25th to 28th October. It’s our second stay this year. Our first stay The Chapel had just opened. We remembered they had great cakes. This time our hosts recommended the Sunday roast at the Chapel. I had the Beef Rib and my wife had the chicken. We loved it. We both said it was the best meal out we have had in months. Already looking forward to going again. If you are in Port Isaac on a Sunday, book in for the lunch, you won’t be disappointed.

We visited on the 13th Oct 24. The first day of the Chapel Cafe's Sunday Roast offering. It was fantastic! Great value for money, very generous portions and very well cooked. Two of us had the ribbed beef which absolutely melted in the mouth and one of us had the chicken supreme roast which was delicious. All were served with delicious glazed carrots, cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes, wilted greens and an enormous, perfectly cooked Yorkshire puddings. If I lived in Port Isaac I would never cook a Sunday roast again. I would take my guests and family to the Chapel Cafe. We were made to feel very welcome by Emily and the rest of the staff team and the service was excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit.

What a lovely place. Stopped by on our walk from Port Quin for a lunch snack before heading back. The seafood soup was absolutely amazing. I have only had one other like that in many, many years. Service was relaxed and friendly and beautiful setting in an old chapel with high ceilings. Coffee was great too, just sad we missed the scones that were being baked again in the afternoon and were going to be ready in 30 minutes but we needed to head off.

Been visiting this establishment for years but very disappointed with today’s visit. The previously available breakfast menu has been replaced with breakfast baps, at £6.50 for 2 rashers of bacon and a roll (literally just that on the plate). The cafe is now bare and the staff/chef was openly rude to a customer in front of the cafe, accusing him of being a scammer. Sadly we found a total loss of atmosphere which had previously been warm and welcoming. Will not be visiting again. Apparently changed ownership a couple of months ago.

Not much choice on the menu. Overpriced (ridiculously) who offers a kids sandwich meal with 1 slice of bread with a bit of ham cut in 2 with a tiny bit of fruit on the side for £5? (And that’s without a drink!) I understand you support local businesses, buying in produce etc but come on, a full sandwich with 2 slices of bread wouldn’t break the bank!! Cakes are £5 a slice 😂 and a BLT sandwich is £9 🤦‍♀️ All in all it got us out of the rain and my flat white was passable, but £44 in Total for the small amount we had is extortionate!

We visited here a couple of years ago and returned on Thursday, on my birthday, after such an excellent memory of our previous visit. I Immediately wondered if the ownership had changed, of course I appreciate the cost of ingredients has risen but over £6 for a pastry I thought was high. People arriving after us were all served first, not helped by our table number being entered into the till incorrectly so our drinks were almost gone by the time our food arrived after it had been walked around the premises before it reached us. The staff appeared flustered and remarked 'we just need a quiet half an hour' which of course I sympathise with, if they needed a break. It was ok, over priced but distinctly average and so next time we will try somewhere else.

Must be the worst customer experience I have received in over 70 years. Having ordered drinks for my wife, son, daughter-in- law and 3 grand-daughters things went downhill from there! Four drinks were served first, after waiting another 5 mins we informed the waitress that we were still awaiting 3 further drinks. Eventually 2 more drinks arrived but my 7 year old grand- daughters hot chocolate still did not arrive. We again informed the waitress who looked at me as if this was to much trouble. When the hot chocolate did arrive it contained marshmallows, even though we had requested none due to my grand- daughters being Muslim, so not eating anything with pork. This went down like a lead balloon as the waitress was obviously put out from her reaction! My wife then spoke to the owner who instead of appologising blamed everybody else and was extremely rude and offensive to her. The owner urgently needs to enrol for a customer relations course or may end up losing his business.

5 of us popped in here on Sunday. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived, we weren't sure if we needed to wait to be seated or just sit down. Eventually we just sat down. I went to the counter to order to be told someone would come to take our order. After 20 mins of waiting & people coming in after us already having their orders taken we asked a passing member of staff if we could order. 25 mins after ordering our 2 cream teas arrived, we started to eat these but stopped as we wanted to enjoy them with our drinks. 10 minutes later the drinks finally arrived (35mins after ordering). The member of staff that brought the drinks didn't tell us which any of the drinks were so we didn't know which one was the decaff coffee. They forgot the Apple juice but we said we weren't waiting any longer for the drink. They also forgot our daughter's cake, which they did go back & get! We weren't the only ones that were confused about the being seated situation & alot of other customers were also getting frustrated about the waiting time. When we went to pay a member of staff that served us did apologise & say that it was her 1st day & she was just helping a friend out. It was quite expensive for not very good food & drinks or experience. From reading other reviews it seems that it has recently been taken over by new management. Hope they manage to get on top of customer service & speed in which people are served in time for the big summer rush.

Terrible! Under new management and not at all like it used to be. Manager bombastic and rude! Even the staff made comments about him and suggested it would be better if he remained in the kitchen. It was my 7 year old granddaughters birthday and she cried as we left after waiting ages for her drink (everyone else had EVENTUALLY been served). When I complained, the owner suggested I check out their great reviews online. I was later told they are not his reviews as he has only recently taken over the place! His reply to my review mentioned our waitress was from a country at war, with people dying. I would like to point out that the waitress resposible for serving us was actually local and spoke perfect English. In fact she clearly told us how difficult the owner was and this it was her first and possibly last day there. Manager needs to sort himself out and own and take responsibility for his behaviour.

What a delightful cafe, amazing building and excellent hot chocolate, by far the best of my week long tour of Cornwall! (It's not close) I'm glad I had the time on my trip to experience that.

Thought we'd stop for breakfast and asked to bring our bikes in as there wasn't anywhere to lock them outside. We were told yes and then the owner publicly started kicking off at his staff for the bikes being inside (not in anyone's way). If you're trying to build a business it's probably wise to be accommodating to your customers. Waiting staff lovely, food and coffee nice bit well over priced! Wouldn't return our recommend! (nothing to lock them too was there!)

A true delight! We had an all around great experience starting with the lovely restaurants ambience, situated in a converted historic church with lovely artwork and a fabulous church organ... cozy, comfortable and interesting. Our Server, Lee, was super friendly he made us feel very comfortable, answered all of our questions, gave us some history on the building as well as the surrounding area and provided outstanding service. The quality, taste and presentation of the food was undeniably DELICIOUS! The complimentary olives and bread was a great start, the Asparagus with Hummus and Poached Egg was yummy. The true stars were the entrees.. The Chapel Bacon Cheeseburger was so chock full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Fresh Egg Tagliatelle was so rich in mushroom flavor with delicious light homemade pasta, a homerun for sure. The very BEST was the Smoked Haddock Chowder was positively amazing... the flavors were so on point, fresh prawns, fresh haddock with sweet peas, onions and the most delightful, flavorful, lightly creamy broth served with freshly baked bread so you could soak up every drop of this 10 out of 10 dish. If you have a chance to try this place ... DO IT, you won't be disappointed.

Perfect evening with live piano!! we ordered fresh egg tagliatelle, onion soup and buddha bowl with some asparagus on the side. The tagliatelle was beautiful with mushrooms and garlic sauce, very flavourful. The onion soup was rich and delicious. The buddha bowl was interesting with the blood orange and pickled rhubarb, a nice mix of flavour. To recommend when you visit Port Isaac!

My partner and I ate here for lunch both days we were in Port Isaac and had an excellent experience both times. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the vibes were immaculate. Make sure you check out the historical bits upstairs if you visit and sign the guestbook!

What a delightful place to stumble upon when in search of cream tea by the sea! The staff were stars; friendly and helpful, and the cream tea was of the highest quality (quali-tea! 🫖☕️). I would suggest spreading jam first, then cream, as these scones were still hot and the cream-first attempt melted somewhat 🫠. There is a lovely atmosphere and aesthetic to the space, and the exhibition above has art and history to peruse as you digest. Overall, I would highly recommend it! (When you go on, definitely try to spot the equipment with a personality - there was a pirate broom with a fine moustache and others too!)

What a fabulous discovery we made today in Port Isaac and we have had the best scones ever today and coffee . The business is independently owned and only been open for 5 weeks and we would definitely recommend a visit here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent customer service in a wonderful location. Prices are really steep (£10 for a coffee and a pastry) and the cinnamon swirl was a tiny bit burned despite being delicious

Simply outstanding!! From the moment you are greeted to happily offering a generous tip " The Shack " in Falmouth is a must for all sea food lovers! The food, the flavours, the portion sizes, the choice, the price.. all just great value! If it was closer this would be our local go to most weekends. Nothing to fault here! Highly recommend you visit! Thankyou for a super lovely evening Keisha Craig and family from Newquay. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

What a location! We were first-time visitors to Cornwall and were not disappointed by the Scarlet Hotel. We loved it, despite the AC not working in our room (annoying but let’s say it’s bad luck). The restaurant and breakfast were great, though.
