Cornish Fresh in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Superb pizza at the wood-fired pizza place. Lots of great options - I went for the goat cheese with added fennel sausage, and it was fantastic. Perfect balance of savoury with sweet (caramelized onions), everything fresh. Crust was phenomenal. Highly recommended.

I think this is simply the best Pizza I have ever tasted. The base is amazing, no crusts left with everyone eating all of it. Charlie tells me it takes three days to make the dough with fermentation involved. No idea how that works, but he has and you can taste the difference. Thank you to him and his team for such amazing food. They want to provide the best quality possible and believe me they achieve it. If you are anywhere between Padstow and Newquay, this has to be the first choice for Pizza.

Was on our way through town just stopped to get some bits for dinner. Got a great scone kit with jam and cream, some nice beers and pizza. When you buy drinks from the pizza section, you can have them while you wait. Plenty of picnic tables. Great assortment of local drinks and also linked with the Bearded Brewery which has some gorgeous rum and cyder to purchase in take away bottles and bags.

Seriously good pizza! The Neapolitan style pizzas cooked in their wood fired pizza oven here are top notch. Good beer on tap too. Highly recommended.

Lots of excellent local produce

Very good range in products, great service.

My God. Possibly the second best pizza I have ever eaten. So good 🤤 🍕

Lovely shop selling local produce. Brought some beans of a coffee we had sampled at muddle&press next door.

On holiday for the week in Mawgan Porth and on our last night decided to get pizza's from Cornish Fresh and were NOT disappointed! They were amazing! We had the margarita, meat feast, American and goats cheese and red onion. Tasted amazing, decently priced, had some drinks along with them sat in the sun outside. A beautiful end to our week.

Best vegetarian sausage roll ever

Cornish Fresh should be renamed The Cornish Rude. The shop although well stocked is run by rude unfriendly staff. We visit Mawgan Porth regularly as we have a family holiday home in the area. Every time we visit we usually have to pop to the Cornish rude for some essentials and are always subject to the rude, unwelcoming staff. On our latest visit, on our last evening we thought we would give their take away pizzas a go, however on approaching the counter we were told their take away pizza shop was fully booked (how does a take away pizza shop even get fully booked?) this was despite the staff just standing there with an empty pizza oven. The area could do with a really decent take away operation that will give the Cornish rude a run for their money and may even make them appreciate the busy tourist trade which keeps the local economy running.

The only real convenience shop in Mawgan Porth. They have a captive audience yet somehow seem unable to take advantage of it. The staff are abrupt and rude (as others have noted). The store itself isn’t badly stocked, however it is hugely overpriced. You expect to pay slightly over the odds, especially in the peak holiday season, however their prices are madness. The wood fired pizza is good in theory although they get “fully booked” very quickly and the pizzas are expensive for what they are. If you want groceries or a take away, venturing further afield is by far the best option.

Pizza was amazing. Ham on the Hawaiian for the kids was great and the goats cheese topping was lovely. Proper stone baked bases. But... Bank hol Monday, raining so not busy (we were the 7th ticket) but it took 40 mins to deliver 2 pizzas at which point the kids were going wild. Only had the 'its 30 mins wait' warning once I'd paid, otherwise would have likely trotted on.

Well to be honest it’s pizza isn’t it how great can it be … well to be honest fresh pizza dough homemade sauce and just a few sensible toppings and no outlandish ones made the trip for tea worth while. Great service sensible prices and a cool casual eating areas made the meal fun and enjoyable. Met some American 🇺🇸 tourists whilst there who were from Texas and Denver who appeared to be wrapped up for winter whilst being astounded at us Brits walking around in shorts. Pizza was fresh hot and on point and easy 9.4 out of 10 from me crispy base great fresh taste from the local ingredients used on it. As far as pizza goes could not ask or expect anything else from it. Defo a return trip on our next visit later this year, hopefully the A listers don’t take over the place when we come back 🙏

Don't mind paying for convenience but their is no excuse for rudeness and bad manners. Coming here twice a year for over 10 years, that's the last time I step foot in there.

Fantastic store with a vast range of local goods to choose from

Great shop and stock. Pasties and coffee after a good walk always welcome. But the evening pizzas were really really good. Freshly cooked , tasty , crispy great ingredients.

Great pasties, had hot for lunch, so good bought some frozen to take home.

Excellent pasties try the peppered steak

Ok for a convenience store. Pasties, coffees.

Good local store with lots of essentials and goodies as well as local produce and eco friendly cleaning products.

Staying locally and popped in for a few bits today. Baring in mind I’m from just outside London. I was absolutely gob smacked at the bill. 2 frozen Dr Oetker pizzas (normally £2.50 at Sainsbury’s) A kitchen roll A tiny fabric conditioner A small box of washing powder 2 bottles of wine ( lucky dip because most of the prices weren’t listed) £48 Talk about fleecing the tourists Disgraceful

What’s not to like - freshly baked Pizza straight off the beach. A great addition to the places to eat in Mawgan Porth. Unless you’re very hungry I would recommend sharing.

Quite frankly ...some of the nicest pizzas I've ever had .

Perfect for holiday essentials.

Great little store, good choice of produce too. So why is the woman doing coffees and food so rude and miserable? 5 different members of our party have visited the shop and had the same welcome from ‘Ms happy’ we have given up trying to be nice and ended buying our pasties from Betty’s (not as good) but much nicer service. Drinks are now purchased from the little shack (actually nicer). So come on Cornish Fresh either sort some customer training for the Rude Barista or get rid of her!

Very expensive for basic groceries. £3.50 for 6 eggs, nearly £4 for just one chicken fillet, no red wine under £11. On a positive, open til 8pm so handy if you've run out and are desperate!

Nice corner shop - small, but somehow had wide variety in exactly the things I was after. Great selection of cheeses and meats, including some fresh cuts from a local butcher Not as expensive as I’d expected - friendly and helpful staff. Pizzas/beer shack outside is also great - awesome local beers and ciders served with fresh, well made pizzas

Great small independent feeling corner shop. A must visit if you’re in the area as they have a great selection of freshly baked products (sausage rolls, pasties, etc). Local produce is available such as sausages, bacon, milk and butter etc. good range of sweet and confectionery items as well. Final bonus is there are stone fire pizzas outside of the shop, so there really is something for everyone here!

Good honesty food and very friendly pizza chef

Busy.... Expensive but cheaper than the pub!

Quality place. Great shop with loads in there. It has most things you will need when in holiday including fruit, veg, milk cheese, meats, and fresh bread. Pastries, cakes and other fresh items. Lots of standard items in packets and cans too. Local beers and wine in the fridge. The locally made frozen ready meals were really good which you can microwave or oven cook, so Ideal if you are in a holiday camp. The do pizzas and other food outside the shop front too.

Very expensive shop takes advantage of no other shops ...american behind counter quite rude to kad for being on his phone ...it does stock a lot of things but the prices are rediculus

Everything you need while staying at Mawgan porth. Very nice pasties and freshly cooked pizza.

We had a great Pizza and some Drinks outside ☀️. I also bought some nice cornish gifts for my loved ones. Thanks. We will be back.

The girl Making the coffees here was offended because I asked her if she was still making coffees as she had her back to us and was cleaning, she was very rude and we got the feeling that she doesn’t like tourists, think maybe she should find another job away from us tourists!!!!

A little disappointed at lack of friendliness of staff. Also, opening times on stores website are in need of update - closing at 7 at the moment not 8pm.

Excellent shop full of local produce & fresh cakes , breads, pasteys just what you need when visiting cornwall

My view was between average and very good, no option for good so has to be average. Staff need a customer service update however coffee was good and pasty was able to be eaten without scalding the mouth. Outdoor seating available if weather allows.

Convenience store with a wide range of goods including a surprisingly good range of craft beers.

Great convenience store right next to the beach. Impressed with the gluten free options available including the hallowed gluten free pasty! Had to order ahead for this the next day but it was really worth it. Decent selection of cheeses and fresh produce in the back. Slightly expensive for some items but to be expected given the location and captive market. All in all, a great little shop.

Really nice place. Good selection of Gluten free & fresh food for a small shop. Great local produce & fresh pizzas, with Gluten free & vegan options. Gets really busy in the day, it’s on a popular beach front, so this is to be expected Great pasty shop, made on site, they do Glute Free pasties! You have to place an order and collect the next day but it’s well worth it if you are staying in the area

This is really the only shop in Mawgan Porth where you can get most things - Bettys is great but they don't sell everything that you may need. We've shopped here when on holiday & over the years we've seen improvements and the product range widen which is great. The staff are always lovely, apart from one woman on the pasty counter who was quite curt, but reading other reviews this just seems to be her personality. Glad to hear that the monstrosity of a development they were planning has been quashed that would have been a real eye sore.

Love this place, whether you have run out of milk/bread, or everywhere else is rammed and you need some lunch (the pasty’s are amazing), then look no further! Lovely deli stuff that you wouldn’t see elsewhere as well, must visit spot if you’re in Mawgan Porth

The food was fine - the staff member in the bakery however really rude for absolutely no reason. We visit Cornwall almost every holiday as my family live in the area, I’ve not before experienced any service quite like it! In Cornwall or indeed anywhere else.

Great place for a bite to eat. Very popular.

Limited pizza menu but vegetarian and gluten free options available. Easy ordering, pizza made to order and friendly and helpful Staff.

Amazing staff and food, the time I have been staying in mawgan porth I have been having lunch there nearly every day and it has been very tasty and good service. Last night we did not know what to have for dinner and one of the staff very kindly helped us plan a meal that was delicious. Great prices and amazing quailty food.

They sell everything here from ice cream and coffee to pizzas and sandwiches, general groceries, booze and newspapers

We stayed in St Mawgan for a week in june 22. Visited for a few essentials,they have a really good selection of products but they will not get my custom again.A rude man with a beard came from a stock room and remarked to the assistant how we had formed a queue was the wrong way!!!luckily i heard,and corrected him that there were no signs.THEY NEED SOME HEALTHY COMPETITION,I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE OPENS UP NEAR AND PUTS THEM ALL OUT OF WORK.THEY ARE ALL IN THE WRONG JOB.

Unfortunately I was greeted with a sausage and bacon baguette that was not fit for human consumption. I don’t think the standard of food meets the name of the company. Shame as I was looking forward to a freshly made sandwich. I’ll definitely be back if I feel like eating a dry flip flop though.

So rude! The most horrendous, Curt and unfriendly customer service from the American Woman on the Pasty counter. And to be honest, the pasties are pretty average. Don’t bother, it’s over-priced and there’s a much better grocery store down the road at St Mawgan post office.

We’ve taken a flat in Watergate Bay for the May bank holiday weekend and needed some basic and fresh provisions. There are no food etc shops in WB and we were recommended to Cornish Fresh. Good spot across the road from the top of the beach. Free parking right outside. Good selection of stuff including papers etc. We experienced none of the grumpy rudeness described in recent reviews, quite the reverse.

Very rude American lady behind the pastry counter. I go into the shop very regularly but have given up trying to be polite and friendly. She asked “What do you want” very abruptly, no hi or pleasantries. I want some friendly customer service please :)

Very rude American woman behind the counter! Asked for a coffee at 5.30 to be told, “no we shut in a minute”! Fair enough if they’ve turned off the coffee machine off but just to be told no, we shut in a minute - no you shut in 30 minutes! Very rude and abrasive! Not the first encounter with her, last time we visited she was chatting to her friends at the counter and seemed annoyed we wanted serving! She should not be in customer service, very off putting!

Local from st mawgan.. used this place for years - but far out guys, this week has been the last time I’m using you. Grabbed one of your Cornish fresh bags as I forgot my own and was told to not put my items in...

A fantastic choice of food, gluten free, vegan and regular. It’s more a deli supermarket. We had the best Cornish pasties we’ve ever eaten from there and lemon drizzle cake. Gluten free pasties are ordered day before for pick up if you want cooked ones,...

This is a great place to get lunch. Sausage and/or bacon in rolls, The sausage and pasties are amazingly good. The sausage rolls are so fluffy. The ladies serving are very friendly. I tend to order and pay for my food on arrival for collection...

Fresh pasties, salads, pastries and coffee inside. Don't rely on this for your weekly holiday shop but for treats and extra top up shops it's great. Easy location to beach. Lots of local food options too.

Lovely little shop with a terrific cafe, selling amazing Cornish pasties as well as other sweets and savouries, and nice coffee.

Just had amazing coffees from here. The lady serving went out of her way to try and find alternative oatmilk for my daughter who has an intolerance to the oils in their usual brand. And no extra charge for non dairy alternatives unlike many High...

The freshly baked croissants are delicious and their coffee is one of the best I’ve had. Wake up every morning to walk down and get some for breakfast. You don’t have to pay extra for plant-based milks which is very rare and the service is...

Great range of food, v good bread.

We’ve used Cornish fresh for years and always found it a fabulous store , understandably like most businesses I’m sure it’s been challenging operating during the last 18mths but one member of staff in the store is letting its usual good standards down ,this barista...

Lovely shop selling lots of lovely goods inc wine. We had a takeaway lunch from here (pasties, sandwiches etc), all very good and reasonably priced. Excellent coffee. Plenty of benches out the front of the building to sit (note it is by the road, with...

It was pretty small but there was a lot of different food to choose from. It was pretty clean and if you ordered from the takeaway you got served in about 1 minute.

Third stay in Mawgan Porth and a favourite of ours for food and drink to take back. Skinners Brewery ale and quality food including pizzas. Highly recommend.

Cornish fresh is a strange name for a shop that will flog you a 4 day old pasty at full price. I did ask the maid behind the counter if it’s fresh, she said yeah, she lied.

We parked up at this lovely little shop as we really needed a cuppa. It's an Aladdin's cave of glorious food and drink, with a cafe counter. Soon had a flat white and a cuppa, which we sat outside and enjoyed in the warm sun....

This shop has everything you need to make your local stay better, high quality locally sourced food and ingredients, as well as a take away service for the beach or home in the evenings. Highlights obviously the high quality pizzas. A great option after a...

fantastic place with excellent service and product range. Pizza and pasties are excelelnt and the range of food it really brilliant for such a little shop a bit liek the tardis doesnt look much form the out side. a tad more expensive than a lage super market but what do you expect, you would spend more in time and fuel trying to go to a super market any way.

We got a takeaway BBQ pizza which was delicious. Piping hot, generously topped and ready in probably just under 10mins. Parking outside for when having to eat in the car like us on a wet afternoon. Sadly no photo but highly recommend

Nice pizza's, really good service from young lady. REALLY BAD SERVICE from bearded bloke with tattoo sleeve. Hope he never has to live in the real world !!!

More than meets the eye from outside, fantastic array of local cornish produce. Handy if you're having a day on the beach across the road!

Thank you to the very helpful team at Cornwall Fresh. Not only did they serve the best pizza and freshly baked goods every morning but they also very kindly baked the nicest chocolate birthday cake on my request for my fiances 30th birthday!! Delicious!!

Well what can I say!! OH yeah easy the pizza was first class very tasty and loaded with chesse 🤤🤤 my wife had a bacon baguette witch had plenty of bacon 👌. So pizza, bacon baguette, 3 donuts and 2 coffees for just over £13...

The worst pasty I have ever eaten, hubby had steak, I had cheese and onion. The pastry was soft and a strange brown colour, I'm guessing it had been in the warmer too long. I asked for a different one and the lady serving me gave me look that could have soured milk! She wrapped it in a bag and slapped it on the counter. Never going there again!

Awesome place great coffee and pizza. Well stocked shop at good prices.

Our first time at Mawgan Porth and other restaurants were full or had long queues so we decided to grab a pizza from Cornwall Fresh. Well, of the 3 pizzas that we had during the week, these pizzas were by far the most fresh and...

My partner and I arrived in Mawgan Porth unprepared and hungry. Every outlet was either closed or fully booked. Cornish Fresh staff stayed late and kept their kitchen open to cook us delicious pizzas. We were so grateful for the combination of great food and hospitality. Thank you so much!

We visited the ice cream booth yesterday on our way back from a ride out and as we were about to be served there was a staff handover, which involved the young lady who had been serving as we queued, swapping positions with a short, dark-haired man, approximately in his 30s, wearing black chef's uniform. The man was not observed to use any hand santiser and as we asked for out first icecream he picked up the cone with his bsre hands, and made the ice cream, which was then presented to us with grubby bitten down fingernails. My sister politely pointed out his lack of hygiene demonstration before serving us, and stated she did not want the ice cream, due to obvious reasons. His kneejerk response was to aggressively throw the icecream AT the bin (as opposed to IN) and snap at us that he would be a long time now, having to go and wash his hands. I could then see him inside the kitchen gesticulating angrily at other staff members about what had just happened. The young lady took over again and apologised in an awkward manner, to which I responded that his attitude was of further concern, as it would be a very basic requirement of food hygiene adherence to serve us with clean hands and the correct procedural barriers in place (eg: fresh gloves per customer, or washing hands between customer, or even handling the cones with a napkin) at the best of times - the fact that this is an inconvenience to him during a pandemic, is of further and obviously, more serious concern. Would not visit the establishment for other available foods now, nor in the future, for the reasons stated above; as well as the aggressive and arrogant nature of staff when challenged.Unfortunately, I am forced to leave a minimum of one star rating.

Let down by the staff being rude and arrogant especially Tom!!

This shop is amazing, it has a bit of everything and staff are always really friendly and helpful. Good opening times too

I’m not kidding, these were the best pizzas our family had ever had, granted we haven’t been to Italy but they were so delicious. Vegetarian Mediterranean veg and the goats cheese and caramelised onion were sooo good. Friendly service with a smile too. Top tip, order by phone and they’ll have them ready to collect, system works well.

Great place. An Aladdins cave of great food and drink. Some of the best freshly made pizzas I’ve tasted.

excellent store let down by miserable unhelpful staff

Freshly made pizzas can be ordered as well as snacks. Cider and other drinks for sale in the shop. Ate outside and thoroughly enjoyed very hot pizza

When I see a "convenience store" at a beach I have a pre conceived idea of what to expect. This place shocked me completely. They sell an amazing range of products which are high quality and, wherever possible, locally sourced. The in house Artisan bakery was a revelation and the service offered by all of the staff was a joy. This would be our first stop for future beach food requirements.

This place is a most go for Cornish Pasties, they are amazing! Abit pricey but they are huge! You can get a giant steak pasty for just under £5 - worth it!

Excellent service, good quality food freshly cooked. Home cooked pasties, sausage rolls and cakes. Veg are also available.

Good range of products from sweets and magazines to pet food and fresh veggies. This shop also has a little kitchen where you can get pasties, sausage rolls, cakes, and small meals like lasagne and pizzas. We visited here many times during our holiday as they open until late and stocked everything we needed and more. Staff are friendly and helpful.

It's a shop with a bakery in the back. They serve a range of snacks as well as great pasties and pizzas.

A great local shop. Good range of basics plus strong local products. Good ‘off-licence’ selection but of course at full price. What makes Cornish Fresh special is that it also offers:Sandwich BarFreshly prepared to order. Huge range of fillings. The baguettes are delicious. I had a prawn salad one day and Crab the other. Both excellent. Fair price.Coffee Good coffee. Take away. Also have pastries which are very good. Hot FoodFresh pizzas around £10 each. Excellent pasties. Couple of vege options. Ice CreamVery tasty. Tables outside to eat and drink your purchases. Overall staff very friendly a couple slightly rude.

This store sells everything you need. The coffee is great, as is the fresh food, and the staff are incredibly friendly.

We bought a few different pasties from here, all hot and really tasty. We ordered steak and Stilton. Cheese and onion and a chicken one. All tasted fresh, hot and the best pasty I’ve had in years. The wife also had a freshly made sandwich which did look very good, but I wouldn’t give up a pasty for it.The shop also sold loads of food and fresh cakes, drinks and beach items.

ive been in and out of this shop like a dog at a fair for over 20 years !! Changed hands a lot, used to be a petrol garage and it's at its best now, Sells almost everything you need, cherry blossom shoe polish anyone!!! Always have to pop in here for our weekend essentials, I always buy the local produce as I love Cornish products, yes a bit pricey but I like quality, Huge range of fantastic wines and beers, gin seems popular, the local butchers meat is excellent so is the Cornish ice cream, milk, local cakes and bread, pasties and coffees, deli counter for sandwiches, But the best bit.... The magazine rack!!!!! Someone has good taste in reading matter... Xx

After surfing, if you want a pastie and a cuppa (and an ice cream perhaps?) then this is the place for you. A great place to pick up supplies - some local fudge or gin - and have freshly made sandwich, tucked away just across from the surf school.

We had super lovely Pizza for Dinner! The vegan one and the goats cheese! Go for it! Also good shop with a good choice of everything!

This little place is awesome, nestled in a beautiful little spot right by the beach! The shop has so many little special finds and a great selection of alcoholic drinks too and unlike many coastal places the prices weren’t inflated! Our first visit was to just pop in to get some ice cream and essentials (we came out with that and more!) We returned the next night and had freshly cooked made to order pizzas which we were going to eat on the beach but realised we could eat outside on the picnic benches! The pizzas were delicious, the staff friendly! From root beer, antipasti, baby food, gourmet Cornish goodies this place has got it all! My husband never likes shops, even he rated it! Love!!

My mom fancied a coffee whilst we played mini golf opposite this cafe. There's benches outside to sit on and a counter inside offering pasties, soup etc... they have a lot of choice including beers, spirits and cider as well as basic shopping needs. Nice place. Only negative one of the tills broke down and caused a long queue as you couldn't pay for your coffee and food at the food counter but once other till was up and running it was rectified.
