Fuel in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Giant portions, really friendly service and a nice vibe

The food was lovely but I have to say I was shocked with the service. To have only one front of house staff was a recipe for disaster. We waited 35 minutes to have our order taken and another 45 for the food to come. I see others have mentioned this on reviews and they have been met with very rude replies, which leaves a further distaste for the place. Shame!

Excellent service and beautifully cooked fresh produce.

Fuel is Great for Fuel. The only good place open at 8am in Falmouth!

Came in for lunch and found the one guy serving rushed off his feet. Clearly understaffed - needs another chef too as our food came after a long wait and was mediocre at best. Third time coming to this place trying to find the good and still dont understand the high ratings 🧐

In a word, outstanding. Not a second wasted in recommending Fuel for the best food in town (how the hell do you poach an egg that perfectly?)

Been here many times before amazing food and drink best coffee in Falmouth definitely recommend to anyone lovely polite and friendly staff will definitely come again

Great ambiance, great staff, we had the pancakes (both Cornish and vegan) and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend getting the strawberries and banana extras!

Came in for coffee, stayed for brunch!! Had a steady flow of people making an enjoyable atmosphere. Food was looking amazing when coming out hence the brunch. Staff very welcoming, and tasty food what more could you want.

Lovely breakfast and we'll presented. Drink was nice and hot Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Great atmosphere and very busy today. 100 % recommend

I’ve been here quite a few times for breakfast. This is the first time I had food off the lunch menu. The portions were big and really filling. The steak was delicious and the staff are extremely helpful/friendly. Highly recommend.

Great food with great portions, really friendly staff! Recommend a visit!

Great table service friendly waitresses. Boston breakfast was well prepared, portion sizes where very good.

Absolutely amazing place. Food is out of this world. Best Cornish breakie around, comes with Hogs puddin too. Second time coming here when visiting from Bristol.

Excellent all round, always consistently good food , great staff,dog friendly what's not to like

Having never eaten here before the service and food was just excellent. A truly welcoming place with attentive staff. Value for money too! Keep up the good work - your efforts are appreciated!

Lovely cosy atmosphere with friendly efficient staff. Food was amazing, we had kedgeree and pancakes. Top quality. Will definitely be back!

Just perfect, come here every year and is always spot on food along with the service, always feel welcome and atmosphere is just great. We look forward to visiting every year without fail, LOVE IT ❤️

As a celiac, I struggle to find places to eat out which offer a variety of choices (other than jacket potato or salad🤦🏼‍♀️). So when we found this lovely little place in Falmouth I was delighted to find that they offer delicious, beautifully prepared, GF food. I ordered the GF brunch, which had most wonderful bubble and squeak and crispy hash browns. The portions were generous and extremely tasty. Speaking with a staff member I was delighted to hear that they have a separate fryer and area in the kitchen for GF cooking. Also they do not have a set children’s menu purely because they are happy to produce anything off the menu but in a child’s portion. So, if you are a celiac, have any other allergies, a family, or nothing at all, and you are visiting Falmouth and in need of a delicious, hearty meal, I highly recommend FUEL. I wish the team a very Happy New Year! 😊

Wow, wow, wow what a great christmas lunch we have had today. So much food for the price. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service impecable and really enjoyed the christmas music

Really nice place to eat, the waiting staff are lovely we had a young lad who was very friendly (i'm sorry i can't remember your name, young lad, piercings) The decor of the place is a nice trip down memory lane and the food was absolutely great and well priced. And also do kid sized portions of the menu which was great for our little girl

Fuel is always a favourite when visiting Falmouth as a family, the staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful, fast service and delicious food every time. Scott was our server today and he had the biggest smile on his face and made sure we were happy and satisfied for the whole of our visit. Today we had the cornish pancakes and fuel full cornish - feeling stuffed and ready to take on the day!

After reading all the reviews we thought we would try it out. The food was ok. But almost felt processed and not fresh. The service was friendly enough but they didn't seem enthusiastic when we arrived, drinks were good. Maybe we caught them on an off day. We will try again soon.

Lovely staff, great service and amazing breakfast! Also love the interior very funky. Would definitely recommend!!!

AMAZING breakfast, sad we discovered Fuel on the last day of our trip as we definitely would have returned! Chilled atmosphere with great service and friendly staff! Thank you ☺️

Ate here for brunch and it was fantastic. Great value for money, friendly service, the food came out really quickly and was delicious. Good selection of food and drinks. Really nice vibe too. Definitely recommend.

This is the Best breakfast in Falmouth. High quality ingredients with big portions. Warm and friendly staff. Will come again

What we love about Fuel is the consistency of the food and the service. No matter when we’ve been for breakfast or lunch, you know it’s going to of the same high standard every time. And that’s quite rare these days. The wait staff are friendly and efficient and it gives such a good vibe. The food is high quality and delicious. You won’t be disappointed

Omg the best cooked breakfast we have had in a long time, all quality food, trust me I'm fussy. massive portion, couldn't finish the plate .and the staff were A1 10/10

Pop in now and then for a coffee, always excellent coffee, wonderful service, and a chilled vibe...Love it

We came in for breakfast this morning. Food and service were both excellent, highly recommend!!

We chose a fish from the specials board - Bubble and Squeak pancakes with poached eggs. It was beautiful on the plate and delicious to eat - but oh so filling!! 😋

Very friendly staff dog friendly food was nice and well maded.

A great restaurant, always does lovely food and good sized portions and the staff are very friendly.

This place was amazing. Me and my family went in greeted at the door shown to the sofa area . I believe the gentleman was the owner. Gave us the menu. We was only going to have coffee and cake but ended up have two full Cornish beeakfast. And pancakes . I said that I didn't want mushrooms and black pudding . He told me it's not black pudding it is hogmeat the parts that you don't normally eat . He also said I think if your mom wants pancakes I would go the children's menu as our mother is small . All sizes were perfect. Me and my sister said it has to be the best breakfast we have ever had . Atmosphere was great . Staff were great . Manager bent over backwards to help . Price wasnt to expensive for what we had . Will definitely be going back there . Highly recommend this place for a visit you won't regret it Thankyou fuel

This place has a good vibe. The service was quick. We had pint of Lemonade which was a good one. We also had Roasted Squash Risotto which was good but I’ve had better ones. It was slightly dry for my liking but tasted good. Other half had Paella who said it was really good.

Food was great! Reasonable price and the staff were nice.

Called in today with my husband and had the leek and potato soup.It was really hot ,delicious with crusty bread .A wonderful lunch time meal .

I had the kedgeree for lunch and to be honest it was just ok rather than great. I found the creaminess made it more like a fishy rice pudding - and the fish was kind of lost amongst the stodge. I did finish it all and in fairness on looking back at the menu it does state “creamy spiced arborio rice”. I’d more associate that with a risotto. And It didn’t have that spicy kick I’d expect. The cafe was welcoming though in this case I think for me it was style over substance. Good service.

Great food, friendly staff and is the only place close by open at breakfast time. Perfect for breaky before diving! 👌

Beautiful place. Been before a few years back and it’s still just as great. I can highly recommend the pancakes they are perfect!!! Also great dog friendly place we took our 8 month puppy and she got lots of fuss!

Fantastic breakfasts (all day!).

amazing music playing every song was perfect!! really lovely staff and great food! especially great gluten free options!! would definitely recommend

So it took a very long time to get our food, but I had the Cornish Pancakes and when they arrived it came with a little note from God saying I had taken a small part of heaven. Seriously this is one of the best dishes on earth. Go for strawberries and bacon, you don’t need to but you must. It is worth a five hour drive for these. My challenge to you is move here, eat here and become 60st.

Food great, wine great and the team great. Thanks to Megan for looking after us.

We had breakfast, both English breakfast and sweet breakfasts were available, very good food, great care from the staff and also suitable for families with small children. Really cute, highly recommended

Generous portions, but the food was generally a little average for the money. Looks great when it arrived, but all four meals were quite greasy.

Had a fantastic bite to eat here. We would definitely return - exceptional food and amazing staff. Thank you for a great experience!

Food was amazing staff very polite and very nice will definitely be back

Greta selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Nice music and atmosphere with friendly and fast service. Vegan pancakes were especially good!

Great food, really friendly and helpful staff, good music

Fantastic place , popped in for breakfast. Lovely friendly front of house staff great coffee with food to die for . My partner had the full Cornish breakfast which was freshly cooked and lovely local produce, cooked to perfection. I had the kedgeree something I’ve always wanted it was full of beautiful cooked smoked salmon creamy rice and a perfect for me hard poached egg which I asked for . Everything was perfect would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning . Great work team keep doing what your doing

Well what an excellent breakfast to have first thing in the morning! The gentleman who served me named Sean was polite and welcoming. Had a lovely smile. I asked for an extra hot coffee which I received along with my early bird breakfast. Will return to try the pancakes as they looked amazing

Amazing breakfast, very tasty loved the pancakes, the service was top notch , we were welcomed on arrival the staff were efficient and polite. Didn't feel rushed to leave even though they were very busy.

Whilst most reviews are clearly good we were really disappointed after spending over £150. Food very bland looking, club sandwich plastic sliced bread was inedible, salad poor and bland, if you say your using local produce it should be evident in every meal. Don't like leaving poor reviews especially when we've had good meals here over the years.

Stumbled across this place when trying to find a coffee and a plug socket to charge our phones. The coffee was lovely then we decided to get some food and wow it was good! I had the loaded nachos, and my partner had pancakes, both were great. Service was also fantastic.

Fantastic food and service from Shaun and Charlotte. 2nd time we have been there. Came last year the first time. Perfect

Didn't have food only drinks but wish we hadn't eaten before coming here as the food looked amazing that was coming out, the drinks were top notch, staff were super friendly 👌

Best vegetarian breakfast I've ever had and a great chill atmosphere

Really delicious food, friendly service, a great venue with interesting things wherever you looked, so a fantastic night out. Suitably impressed we voted with our feet and came back the next evening to have more delicious food and fun. Megan was really helpful and friendly. Thank you for helping make a brilliant time in Falmouth.

Asked for a coffee, sat for 15 minutes and didn’t turn up, not even a word… Walked off. Don’t bother with this place

Very impressed with Fuel. The food was fresh and delicious and the service A1 despite only one person cooking for a full house. My paella was gorgeous. Thoroughly recommend Fuel.

For purposes to improve. I had the veggie breakfast. Mushrooms, bubble and squeak, beans were fine. What was not so good for the money was, grilled tomatoes. They were Dutch cheap artificially grown, hard with no taste, not good for June when they should be local and red ripe. Eggs were pale yellow tasteless and so wet they fell off the fork, not cooked in the pan but most likely the micro wave. The hash browns were over cooked and heavy with deep oil fried cooking oil, made me feel queasy after eating them. Bread was standard brown sliced super market bread and the butter on them was not butter but I would guess something like a spread with a mix of butter and oil. The latte was average. Not impressed for just short of £18.00. I hope the manager reads this and improves the quality so it brings in more customers, I’m just being honest.

Great place to eat and chill.staff friendly and quick service. Eat, there every time I visit falmouth on hols. Really recommend this place.

Marvelous! Locally sourced produce competitively priced. Friendly service.

Incredible breakfast and staff. The chef was so lovely

Amazing breakfast and lovely iced coffee!

Excellent food & service for Sunday lunch. Kedgeree & pork baps were outstanding and better than anything else Ive had in Falmouth

Best pancakes we have ever had! Lovely breakfast and very friendly staff!

Great bistro, fantastic cream teas with home baked scones. Great cup of locally sourced Cornish coffee. Friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended for breakfast, brunch and main meal. Dog 🐕 friendly.

We always recommend fuel to our guests staying at our Airbnb, as we know they provide a 5* service, delicious food and a calm relaxed atmosphere.

Amazing food, They are always so helpful with food allergies and happy to make changes to set dishes so I can eat there, staff are always so welcoming and friendly. A must visit in falmouth.

Delicious creamy kedgeree! Friendly staff. Comfortable dining areas.

The best pancakes and coffee in falmouth they even let me bring my dog for his birthday 🤍

What a find. An excellent place for a truly epic breakfast. I was delighted to find Kedgeree on the menu and it didn't disappoint.

Popped in early before work for a breakfast. The owners were really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the full English kept us full all day. Quality, well cooked produce. Will be back again next week!

We sat outside and enjoyed an excellent bacon bap and one with extra bacon and fried egg, sausages are top quality from the local butcher. We enjoyed the Americans so much we went back later on in the day too.

We stopped in for some lunch and we were glad we did! I had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was delicious I was just disappointed I couldn’t finish it and my partner had the burger which was homemade and he devoured it! Will definitely be back, lovely manager and staff too!!

Hey, the breakfast was awesome! It was so big, I couldn't even finish it all. Everything tasted delicious. I just wish they had more space between the tables or a separate area inside for dogs. I don't have anything against them, but I didn't really want to eat with a constant admirer 👀🐶

This cozy spot is perfect for a quiet, relaxed breakfast. They serve one of the best ham and mushroom omelets I've ever had, and the espresso is just as good! Plus, they offer free WiFi, which is great for checking in, though it's so pleasant here you might just forget about your phone. Highly recommend for a delicious start to your day!

We’ve been coming to this fantastic place for a few years, and it NEVER disappoints! The welcome is warm and friendly, and the food is amazing! Very dog-friendly - our dog drags us in the door, and has eaten his own weight in sausages while here! Great for families, singles and couples. Can’t wait until our next visit!!

Wonderful coffee. Went back for lunch as the chef cooks everything from scratch so can change ingredients to suit your needs. The food is fresh and tasty. The risotto was spot on. Very friendly and good service. The kitchen is visible so you can chat with the chef.

Stunning place, food great but not cheap, fuel sandwich and falafel recommended but my son didn't like the ham and chips but that might be because he's a fussy one.

Excellent breakfast, good choice and variety of food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend the cooked breakfast

Excellent breakfast as ever. Plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and efficient service. Fresh flowers on all tables a nice touch too.

Best eggs benedict ever. Locally sourced eggs, ham that is cooked and seasoned on site. My partner is 54 and a grumpy old man and he said this was perfection.

Really good food, chef knows his flavours. Nice and clean place. Friendly prompt service. Recommended.

Super breakfast at Fuel and such lovely staff. Thank you Shaun for the best coffees I’ve had and some great recommendations for local attractions.

Best kedgeree in town! A busy wee place with great food and extremely helpful and friendly staff! The kids enjoyed the pancakes as usual.

Amazing place to eat great atmosphere and food was delicious catering for gluten free people which was fantastic. Sean was very good at the front of the house friendly and welcoming went above and beyond with our order made us feel welcomed. We shall be visiting again.

Amazing food, lovely staff! The best bacon pancakes I’ve ever had, i need the recipe. I’ll be making sure to visit again soon!

Always call in here when staying in Falmouth, been coming for many years.It has had its up and downs but definitely on the up at the moment.

Easter breakfast was just what I needed. I do love my extra hot flat whites. Lauren the server today done me a lovely flower on top today. I had my usual sausage bap which is just enough for me. New playlist today which complimented feel of the cafe

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Food delicious; service impeccable - warm, friendly and helpful; lovely surroundings. More importantly, they could not have done more to make my family feel comfortable, especially my son who has autism. From the day we went in for a "reckie" so he could see if he felt comfortable there, they were welcoming, encouraging him to choose which table he wanted to sit at, offering him the choice of anything on the menu and not just from the dinner menu. All little things that make such a big difference for our experience as a family. Shame we're only here on holiday as this place would be a firm favourite for us if nearer to home. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Really impressed with the friendly service, ambience and the food (Fuel Full Cornish & Vegetarian Full Breakfast). Will definitely be returning!

The Cafe-restaurant is on high street, nicely set up. Food is real good, they will accommodate your wishes even if not on the menu. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and tasty food.

Excellent eatery, where do I start. We visited on a trip to Falmouth and had bunch. I have allergies which is always a concern when eating out. They were extremely helpful and accommodating. I had the vegan gluten free pancakes. They are amazing freshly made with local ingredients. The coffee is exquisite, the best coffee in and around Cornwall. This place was so amazing we took friends on Easter Sunday for brunch the connoisseur of the Breakfast in our group stated that “it was the best breakfast he had ever had”. Which was high praise. I strong recommend visiting for food and or coffee.

Lovely place to go to have a feast. Coffee to start was excellent, and then the Cornish breakfast.........wow! Really nice people as well. If I was down here longer I'd be putting on pounds!

Great place. Menu substitutions no issues. Nice atmosphere. Staff superb. Would highly recommend for breakfast brunch or dinnner. If it had views of the harbour it would get 6 stars

Super busy however the standard and quality didn't change. Still great service and great food. The philly cheese steak is spot on.
