Fryers Tea Room in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The Fryers Tearooms Kilkhampton Cornwall have extensive gluten free options, inspired by their personal experience of supporting a coeliac.  Full 4* review at coeliacwellnes.com.  They have freshly made cake, breakfast and lunch options.  Its close to Tamar Lakes with lots of free nearby parking and uses locally sourced ingredients. This is home cooked Cornish food at it’s best. 

We visited Fryers Tea Room on a gorgeous sunny day and were immediately impressed by the beautiful gardens at the back where we sat with our dog. The cream teas consisted of two delicious scones each, along with a large dish of strawberry jam and one of clotted cream. These were accompanied by a ample sized pot of tea. The owner of the tea room was very friendly and the service we received was second to none. Excellent value for money and definitely worth a visit.

Hidden gem of a place. Great prices and even better food. Two different ploughman's ordered and didn't disappoint. Highly recommended.

Very friendly cafe, sat in the garden as it was a lovely day. Different selection of scones, nothing was too much trouble for them. Altogether a very enjoyable visit.

Wonderful and varied, nicely cooked and presented. Sets you up for the day. So much better than cooking for yourself and miles better than my usual bowl of cereal

Stopped here whilst passing through on holiday. Whilst the decor is basic the food was great, both in taste and presentation. We had cherry and almond scones with cherry jam and lemon and ginger scones with lemon curd , both with clotted cream. They were delicious and a generous size. Staff were friendly and attentive so couldn't have asked for better.

The cherry and almond scones are the best I've ever had they are delicious! It's good value too, generous sizes

Tasty food, with lots of options available for people who are gluten free. Visited just after lockdown was lifted so seating was in small individual hits which did look nice but are quite small however there was six of us which is the maximum capacity for one of the huts. Waitress was friendly and took orders very quickly and food was also quick to come out seeing as it looked quite busy. Lunch portions were a reasonable size however the desserts were huge! Average prices for the area. Overall it is a nice little place with good food and service, wouldn't hesitate to come again.

Lovely Tea room for breakfast, lunches or Cream Teas. It was very reasonably priced, generous portions and very attentive staff. We took our 2 year old and the waitress brought over a colouring book and pencils, as well as asking if he would prefer his beans next to or on top of toast. It sounds like a small thing but the little details make people feel comfortable and welcome. We really appreciated it.

Stopped here on our way home based on the great reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely scones as described with lashings of jam and cream. Sat in the garden which was lovely in the sun. Highly recommend, will definitely stop again on our next Cornwall visit. Dog friendly too.

My sister and I were staying in Bude with a friend who lives there and she suggested a visit to this tearoom. The cream tea was amazing, we had the cherry and almond scones with lashings of cherry jam and clotted cream! I have eaten numerous cream teas over the years but can honestly say this was the best! The garden was so pretty and the waitress was so friendly and gave us extra jam and cream. Prices were very reasonable. If you are in the area I highly recommend a visit!

Quaint little tea room in the heart of the village! We had breakfast and a pot of tea an it was lovely. Bacon, sausage, egg, beans, toast, it was really nice. Other options are available. Service was fab, really friendly. The cafe was clean and welcoming, would definitely recommend this little place and return in future!

Wonderful find! Great little tea house in Kilkhampton. We are one adult and two children - gluten free, nut free and egg free. We ordered an English breakfast, a ploughman's and a toasted sandwich. Nothing was too much trouble, all Covid 19 rules were adhered too. The salads were amazing! 13 ingredients including kiwi fruit and grapes. There is a cake display you must see! Two gluten free cakes to pick from today.

the millionaires slice was great but the mint chocolate cheese cake was out of this world. dog friendly too. thank you

Had a lovely cream tea with a cup of tea Very nice scones and plenty of Devonshire clotted cream Very friendly with good prices and service

On our first morning in Kilkhampton we stumbled across this little tearoom. We had what I can only describe as a bargain breakfast but it still held great quality and beautiful touches. If we return to Kilkhampton we will be sure to come back.

Got there this morning just as they opened and was greeted warmly, we sat down and immediately given the menu and told about the breakfast special two for £10.00 which was the decider. We were served shortly after even though they had not long been open and wow! What a large portion, we both struggled but it was delicious. I highly recommend Fryers.

My Daughter and her friend fancied some fish and chips, however the sign on the door stated "please use Fryers Tea Room entrance", which we did. We walked into a lovely quaint property with what looked like and old fashioned living room and a front room. We had to ring the bell to gain the lady's attention and she was more than happy to do us fresh take away fish and chips while we took a seat. It was a real back in time experience and the food was great.

Me and my partner stopped in here just on the off chance looking for a nice lunch and we were not disappointed! The place was really cute, nicely decorated with little trinkets around and we were greeted by the friendliest fluffy cat ever! The menu had a great variety and the food was gorgeous, you could definitely tell it was home made with care, plus the portion sizes were more than enough.Visited on day one of our stay down here and already planning on going back to try their breakfast!!

The food and portion size here is still unreal. I had a pigmans salad , I've never been so stuffed after a salad. It should have been called a pigmans banquet!!Their takeaway cream teas are a bit special too , gluten free if required. And having really friendly, helpful staff just makes this little tearoom the absolute best.

We visited Fryers one lunchtime whilst staying locally. My husband had the pigmans ploughmans, and the children had ham and chips and chicken nuggets and chips. All were pleased with their meals. The children’s meals were certainly generous!!! My husband wasn’t over keen on the fruit in the accompanying salad though!! I had a traditional cream team. Delicious tea, great scones (I had the plain ones) and the name and cream were served in generous portions! If you’re staying locally, it’s worth a visit.

Brilliant gem of a place we are currently staying at nearby penstowe holiday park. Breakfast 2 for £10 forHubby and I was brilliant with a tea for me which I loved with a pot, strainer and tea leaves which my 7 year old had never seen before ! Catered well for our daughter picking items from main breakfast menu for kids breakfast. Lovely atmosphere with interesting things to look at and take in. Including crafts and the amazing cake display (gluten free also well catered for). We took a selection of scones take away for much later in the day including cheese, fruit and plain which were helpfully labelled up. Love this place, defiantly will visit again maybe for the cream tea or sandwich items next time. Hopefully next time will be sunny as there looks to be a beautiful garden out the back. Patient friendly staff thank you!! Lots of pictures as my daughter went round taking them!

My mum had always wanted to try this tea room after hearing good reviews about it so I treated her to a visit. Well we were not disappointed! We sat in the quaint little garden and had a pot of tea each. I had a cheese ploughman’s and my mum had the Pigmans ploughman’s. Wow! They were both beautifully presented and soooo tasty. We wanted to try some of the delicious looking cakes but were both too full so maybe next time :)

We stopped by in the morning for breakfast before a days adventuring. They have a great meal deal offer of 2 breakfasts for 10. They were very ample well cooked and fresh. To top it off they are dog friendly so we could all enjoy our morning meal. Highly recommend

We had a lovely day in Clovelly, Devon and then my hubby said that he wanted a cornish cream tea! So we drove a short distance into Devon. The first place we came to was Kilkhampton... there we saw The Fryers Tearooms. Omgosh..... such a cute tea room, full of character. It was 4.10pm, they shut at 4.30pm, there were 6 of us.... the tearoom said "come in, we never rush anyone, come in". So pleased they did let us in. The cream tea was scrumptious... served with Cornish butter, cornish clotted cream and cornish jam. China cups and sauces .... a proper tearoom. They do other things also which also looked scrummy. We left st 5pm. Would definitely recommend .. even if just passing through ... you will be fed well xx

We stopped off for a bite to eat before we went to book into our accommodation, the food was absolutely lovely and the staff were all polite and friendly, would definitely recommend going there for something to eat.

We went here last year and had to go again. This is an absolute top notch place to stop and eat. Veggie , vegan , glutenfree are all catered for. Quantity and quality of the meals is just outstanding , staff are really friendly AND we could take our dog in. Just brilliant. Certainly going again.

In the centre of the village with parking opposite. Good choice of menu and excellent food. Service was very good. Would recommend.

As Fryers Tea Rooms and Gilletts Chippy are essentially the same business and we went in for the fish and chips we have left a glowing review under Gilletts Chippy. Please read if you want excellent gluten free food. We had lunch and pudding but there were tasty sounding gluten free cakes too.

Dropped into get some food from you today, late lunch, you said you did pasties, great I said shortcurst or flakey, lady said shortcrust, even better I thought as mum wanted shortcurst otherwise would of had fish and chips, got the hot pasties and drove off to eat them, parked up and unwrapped them and to my surprise they were flakey, wasn't happy at all, but didn't drive all the way back to you as too far away, just to say you sell flakey not shortcurst, but on the up side they did taste nice

My daughter and I enjoyed a delicious lunch. Freshly prepared and cooked food and very helpful and friendly staff. I have been here many times and always love the home made varied menu, especially the cakes.

We happened upon Fryers by chance when looking for somewhere to have a late lunch.

Excellent cream tea and sandwich,huge,delicious! Good value. Definitely like to come back,helpful friendly staff.

I visited in the off season with my husband and young child. We came for a light lunch, hoping to fit in a cream tea as well.

It doesn't matter what time of day you visit the tearooms and it doesn't matter if your on your own or with others you always always get a lovely warm welcome, great food, great service, just a really really lovely little tearooms 😍

Lovely tea room in Kilkhampton. Well worth a visit! We have been for lunch twice in 1 week. The food is home cooked & delicious. the cakes & cheesecakes cannot be missed. After a yummy savoury lunch, unable to eat another thing, we have taken away our cheesecake. Yum Yum Yum. Dog Friendly too. You can sit inside or in the lovely garden. Can't wait to go back!

We would never have known, about this tearoom, if it was not for the TripAdvisor reviews. Despite being on the main road, through Kilkhampton, you would never really know it was there, as the signage is quite modest. Inside, the staff gave us a smiling welcome, and we opted for their cream tea. They warned that the scones were large, but we went for two each anyway! They advertise a wide selection of flavoured scones, and we chose the spiced, which came with honey, and the ginger (with lemon curd) options. Having been disappointed, at another venue, a couple of days before, the Fryers scones certainly restored our faith in a Cornish cream tea. The spices came through nicely in their spiced scones, and complemented the honey well. The ginger scones were full of gingery warmth and contained chunks of crystallised ginger, and the very nice lemon curd really worked well as an accompaniment. The honey, clotted cream and lemon curd portions were huge, and everything was teamed with a large pot of loose leaf tea (well judged in terms of strength, and a good quality mellow tea blend, too), served in a bright and cheery spotty teapot and cups. The surroundings are a little bit faded, but who cares when.the cream teas are so good, and so reasonably priced. Would heartily recommend this hidden gem, and the quality of the cream teas!

We were staying in Kilkhampton, near Bude, and visited this wonderful little tearoom after seeing the excellent reviews on TA. We were not disappointed and returned for a second visit a few days later as well. The girls working here were super friendly and welcoming and the lady who owns the business took time to chat and made us feel special. The food was out of this world. Easily the best cream tea we've had in the UK (and we've had a fair few). Massive portions, home made scones with loads of varieties, and importantly they don't scrimp on the jam and cream giving you more than enough. The chocolate cream tea with choc-chip scones, nutella and clotted cream was incredible with the clotted cream softening the sugar rush and delivering a really creamy delicious taste. The savoury cream tea was equally amazing. Kids meal of sausage and beans was a very good size and again the business makes excellent use of their sister-shop next door, Gillets Chip Shop and serves proper chip shop style chips which were lovely. Excellent service, wonderful staff and a delightful couple of rooms with lots of nice bits and bobs all over. Price wise it knocked everything out the park with these massive cream tea portions, flexibility to upgrade to coffee or hot chocolate for around £5 per head - just amazing. I said on the day that I'd go well out of my way to revisit this amazing cafe and I hope to be back very soon. Thank you and good luck.

I was very impressed with the great service at the Fryers Tea Room. I asked them if I could come round the following day to do a bit of work on my laptop and they even reserved a table in my name. I was really blown away with the great service and the food & cakes that they served.

Friendly, good breakfast with plenty of choice for vegetarians too. Just on A39 so perfect for those en route across Cornwall. Highly recommend.

We were staying in Kilkhampton and googled breakfast and so pleased we found Fryer's, staff very friendly and attentive. And the breakfast wow i had the Fryers Feast and it was a feast fantastic produce and two off everything it was awesome but you better be hungry!. We went out for the day and came back in the afternoon for a knickerbocker glory it was the best we've ever had.

Superb fresh scones, variety, generous portions, garden area and dog friendly. After a week of cream teas in the area this is hands down the best.

Always had great food here and plenty of choice. Particularly love their salads and they are always happy to accommodate allergies etc.Best bit of all has to be their fabulous cakes 🙂

Went to the fryers tea room for my birthday lunch with my mum and mum in laws and hubby had a lovely meal. The waitress was very accommodating and friendly and helpful with my mum in law who walks with sticks. Shall visit again soon

We love this little place we have been many times and can’t fault a thing! Food is lovely, service is always first class, portions are a perfect size and prices aren’t ridiculous! O and the cakes and desserts are amazing! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Went in today can’t fault the food it was lovely, Well the main course anyway! Was going to have a sweet but waited 1/2 hour and gave up went next door to pay and the staff were all having lunch together forgetting about customers in the other part the cafe! another couple left to!

You must visit this place, a proper hidden gem.

Fryers has a fantastic homely feel, the staff make you feel so welcome and relaxed. The food is Amazing, freshly cooked and extremely generous portions! The marvellous home make cakes and desserts are out of this world! One visit is never enough!

Went to explore the area as was staying at penstowe park and came a long this place

My second visit nearly a year after my first after a coldd miserable wet hour on my motorbike. First rate yet again wonderful fish and chips(Not quite Tremenheere Kitchen good but considerably cheaper and larger). Improve your batter slightly girls(Not bad but room for imorovement) and you've got a real winner. Loose leaf Cornish Tregotnan Tea too in my opinion the best in the world. Lovely service great prices. Quaint old fashioned clean place. Lovely

What an Awesome place. We Google mapped it and it came up with this place. We were not expecting it to be like it was. It is so cosy, very very clean lots of lovely plaques on the walls with great sayings. Very crafty place with things to buy.

I chose this tea room after studying Tripadvisor for a good eatery near Bude - I was not disappointed! The tea room is very cosy and welcoming - adorable black cat in residence and dogs also welcome I believe. Menu is very extensive and everything we had was freshly prepared and of good quality. Be sure to pace yourself however - there are also lovely cakes to round off the meal, really scrummy and again all home made (some gluten free!)

Went in once before with my mother, and today with my partner and both times I've been amazed by The Fryers Tea Room.

Wow! What a choice of food from light bites to the more robust meal. Fryer’s Tea Rooms will not disappoint!

We had scrambled eggs on toast and mushrooms on toast. Both were good and the service was reasonable. The interior was cold whenever the door opened, and the interior was a little scruffy, not enhanced by the cat snoozing on a seat. Good value, though.

Friendly lovely owner Quite old fashioned and simple but that added to its charm. Great cakes. Only fault i could say that would be that i would recommend tea only but not coffee ( as think it was instant) Great stop off for winters day

Had breakfast there with a group of friends before heading off for a long weekend away. Excellent food at a good price. Friendly and efficient service. My only gripe was that one of my fried eggs was overcooked (i.e. hard yolk) and the other one was on the brink of being over-done too. However, given that there was eight of us having cooked breakfasts at the same time, I thought they did very well.

Pot of lively old fashioned tea with tea leaves huge choice of home made cakes we had flapjack lemon cheesecake chocolate brownie and carrot and walnut cake we also tried scones and cream all very tasty and friendly staff good value for money

We went into the tea room after seeing the sign for the chippy , and decided a sit down meal would be nicer. That was a good choice because the food came in large portions and was really , really nice. When i say large portions I'm not kidding , neither myself or my wife could finish our meals. Really good food , really good choice , really nice staff , really good price . Couldn't have found a better place to stop and eat , left there feeling stuffed.

Great service and food. Lovely little place. Staff friendly and polite. Breakfast is brilliant. Hopefully be back.

We had family breakfasts here on a couple of occasions during our break, the staff are very welcoming, we took the dog with us as they are 'dog friendly' even when our barked at the owner on the second occasion as they came in from a shoping trip.

Popped in for breakfast this week with family. Both large n regular fry ups were spot on. Bacon and sausages lovely. Beans, toast, eggs , black pud on the side, tomatoes all lovely. Loved the way juice served as did the kids. Atmosphere of a tea room with service n smiles from a friendly team. Good value and did not need to eat until tea time. Great stuff.

On holiday in this area and popped in for tea & cake. Decided on a cream tea,just as well did not order anything else! Scones were very large,freshly baked came with a large bowl of cream and a large bowl of jam also butter.'

Arrived at Kilkhampton, Bude, but could not get into our villa until 4pm. We went to Fryers for a bite to eat and was not disappointed. Fantastic food and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back next holiday.

Called in several times over two weeks whilst we stayed at penstowe. We had breakfasts and cream teas (not at the same time :-) )all of which was fantastic. Lovely friendly staff. Lovely garden area if the weather is nice. All in all fab.

Pleasant setting with very friendly and attentive staff. Good choice of lunch time snacks and light meals together with an excellent choice of homemade cakes and scones. There are approx 9 varieties of scones of which 6 are normally available.

Only called in here once, but went specifically for a cream tea. And this was excellent. The best we had on this visit to Devon and Cornwall. Very friendly staff.

I was ready for a drink after a long morning on a motorcycle and wanted a quiet village as a preference to the busier nearby Bude. After seeing someone order the Fish and chips I did the same it was lovely proper deep fried hand cut chips perfectly done fresh milky white cod in a light crispy batter with a pot of tea for under£8 good portionbsuzes too. A pleasing and fulfilling interlude

Yet again not disappointed..... outstanding menu... Good value..... Friendly staff.... we enjoy popping in when visisting our Daughter......Soon again very soon.. Well done all.....

Stumbled upon this coffee shop by chance by what a find. Fantastically welcoming and help service throughout. Great food and variety of choices from pasties to soups/baguettes/fish and chips. Then the amazing variety of cakes and deserts. Plenty of gluten free options available as well. Also was exceptionally good value.

The best cheese ploughmans lunch i have ever had by a country mile. Fabulous and very highly recommend.

This is a delightful tea room situated in the centre of the little village. There is free parking a short distance away near the church. The cakes and scones on offer are utterly delicious, very fresh and there is a vast array to choose from. The staff are very friendly arrayed extremely helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our little stop over en route to Bude. Don't miss this place. Go there.

Stumbled across this quite by accident one day. So very glad I live in Bude because now I can have more visits. Love this place, friendly staff, huge menu choice, exquisite cakes and all really well priced.

We work just over the road from the café. It's great to be able to grab a bacon or egg sarnie and head down to the beach in our lunch hour! Yum! Also lovely friendly staff.

Very friendly tea room. Had a cream tea and it was gorgeous. Friendly staff, lots of choices to choose from.

Lovely tea rooms with a fantastic range of cakes and friendly staff. Cosy and sweet interior. Meals too such as scampi and chips, sausages and chips, sandwiches, soup and different types of scones/cream teas.

Definitly worth a visit..An excellent choice of cakes and food at very realistic prices in a very quaint setting. Lovely decoration and very popular with the locals. The service from Vanessor was second to none..she could not have done more to ensure our visit was as perfect as possible and went out of her way to ensure my friends 3 year old was catered for with food and something to amuse herself with... and I came away with a lovely necklace I purchased there as well. Well worth a visit..you will not be disappointed.

Had a lovely lunch date here with my daughter . We loved its vintage decor, intimate surroundings , varied menu and genuine customer service .

Once again on a visit to Kilkhampton to see our daughter we paid a visit to The Tearoom, And once again overwhelmed with the service and quality of the food, Fantastic Value of the money and very good portions, They also serve Gluten Free Foods... Staff so friendly as always, Always have time for a chat....... Keep up the good service Pippa & Ness......

We were told about this little gem in Kilkhampton so went to try it and were delighted. Went 3 times in 3 days and then our holiday ended. Lovely people, lovely food. The cakes were delicious and all home made. The White chocolate brownie was great, very moist and not cloying as some can be. My husband said the fish and chips were excellent and his ginger cake was divine. My beef stew was very good. Although small, the tearoom certainly packs a punch. We will be spending lots of here when we return to Bude. The tearoom is adding another room and I am sure they will need it!

Such a delightful find on a day out. Very friendly welcome plus people that understand about catering for coeliacs. There was so much to choose from - I wanted to try it all! I only wish I lived nearer but will return again as soon as possible.

Great food, plenty of choice and reasonably priced, quality ingredients, lovely garden and very friendly.

Perhaps the finest fish and chips we have ever eaten. Washed down with endless cups of Cornish tea - yes Cornish tea grown locally and a beautiful blend it is to! Greeted by a lovely warm-hearted lady who made us feel immediately at home. The world should be beating a path to this door in the centre of Kilkhampton on the Cornish border with Devon. What a find!

Stopped here briefly on our way driving along the coastal road, it wasn't well signposted. Such a shame as many people might miss it! Good tea coffee and wicked brownies/ cakes. Friendly owner too.

This is a lovely family run little tearoom's with a fab garden for lovely days. I am Gluten free and didn't have to worry at all as everything on the board was GF so I didn't feel cheated with just a few choices like in most places. The staff are friendly and helpful and I am looking forward to future visits.
