Havener’s Bar and Grill in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great food, great service and a lovely spot

We ate at the simple but efficient restaurant

We came during our Easter holiday. A day trip to Fowey. This was a real treat. The food and drink were great. The service was friendly and professional, table service only. Chorizo and wild boar burger with brie was a winner for me. Great location.

Great food and friendly service.

Heaven on earth. Nothing more to say.

Food and service exceeded expectations. Georgia was lovely and sensed our needs with a young child very well. Thank you.

Une terrasse en bord de mer avec un joli soleil. Il est vrai que le contexte se prête à apprécier son repas. J’ai pris des moules avec une sauce à la crème. C’était excellent. Et en plus, le service était chaleureux. Je recommande !

We ate here at the end of February on a Thursday evening, we didn't book but were fortunate to get a table. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very welcoming. We were served by Georgia who was professional, cheerful and attentive but not overly so which was great. We enjoyed starters the salt and pepper sqid in particular, we both ate from the specials board and were not disappointed, great food.

Friendly staff, tasty food, a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location and views. A great choice if you’re staying in or visiting Fowey.

Just finished a lovely Two night stay here. Apart from the initial issue with parking (a water issue in the town meant there were workvans outside, I can only write positives about the place. )We had a town view room which was nicely decorated, a very comfortable bed, adjustable heating, light and airy window and a spacious bathroom with quality toiletries. Plentiful towels and bathrobes were provided. There was a coffee machine and tea , coffee, biscuits and bottled water supplied in the room. The room was cleaned and items replenished after the first night. A special shout out for Jlo for this who keeps rooms tip top and for serving us a great breakfast on both mornings. Indeed all the staff were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We decided to take advantage of the lovely view from the dining room and also ate at the Haveners on both evenings. Great sea food and lovely service on both occasions. It did not disappoint. Well done St Austell Brewery for prime accommodation at affordable prices!

Had yet another great week of visits to Havener's in Fowey last week. It's always a warm and welcoming place to be, and we had the best breakfast of our holiday there as well as a brilliant 'last day' lunch, which drifted - as it so often does for us - into afternoon drinks. The food is always spot-on and delicious, the team are friendly, professional and so incredibly nice (it's often an under-rated word. Nice in this instance means heartwarming, making you feel good, feel happy, feel welcome).Nothing draws us back to a place as quickly as good food and good service, done with a smile and the willingness to have a laugh!) Can't wait to be back!

A fantastic place to visit in a lovely location. I’ve been several times for food and drink. The staff are highly attentive and the food excellent too.

Friendly and efficient staff, thank you.

Perfect for great drinks and a bite. Comfy seating downstairs and up. Team work hard to give quick friendly service. Clean and tidy.

Attentive and friendly staff, lovely home cooked breakfast which was hot and generous portions, eaten dinner and lunch here too and always the same excellent service. Lovely river views, highly recommend!

Stopped by for lunch, quick service and food was top notch.

Absolutely fabulous. Great food and wonderful friendly staff. They were full when we went but the service was excellent. Lovely ambience and views of the estuary too. Wholeheartedly recommend.

We had dinner for 2 on NYE. The restaurant was busy with a lovely atmosphere. The staff coped well and they were attentive and engaging. The food was “Top Drawer” The manager Lee and his staff all need to be thanked for a wonderful evening. Not our first time here and we would recommend to anyone wanting a meal in Fowey.

Christmas Eve evening meal for family of 8 was perfect. Friendly staff and a waitress with a photographic memory. Food was great and drinks with plenty of choice including cocktails.

We had a lovely dinner here Christmas Day. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our specialist needs and the food was amazing

Restaurant staff very rude. Didn't feel welcomed at all. Don’t go here

Delicious roast, and very dog friendly

Great food Great service Great location Only downside is you're a bit far for me to visit as regularly ad I'd like too! Thanks for making our vist so special. Another visit, another amazing stay.

Well worth a visit food lovely very clean and tidy staff very good

19 of us held a 60th birthday dinner at The Havener’s. The pre-ordering, the area reserved for us, the food and drinks and the friendliness of the staff were all first rate and made for a great evening. Thank you very much - we will be back. Phil & Susanne

Looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled up this place. The staff were very welcoming with a nice atmosphere inside. The food was very good. I have the cajan chicken burger special 👍🏻, our daughter enjoyed her southern fried chicken wrap and my wife and brother in law both had the muscle which they both said were very tasty. Would come back to agy

Great service and friendly staff, very accommodating when we arrived early for our table. We had the Sunday roasts from the specials menu which were excellent.

We have just returned from two fantastic nights staying at Haveners. A couple of weeks ago we enjoyed an excellent one-night stay at The Lifeboat Inn in St Ives (another St Austell Brewery pub with rooms) and this recent experience did not disappoint us whatsoever. Based on both of these experiences, we are very impressed by the St Austell Brewery-backed 'pubs with rooms' offering. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and shown to our two respective rooms (our children had their own). The rooms were very clean, warm, comfy and well-appointed (Elemis toiletries a very nice touch!). They had everything we needed for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Haveners is perfectly located with a stunning view of the water, right in the very heart of Fowey. The service we received was fantastic throughout and I must make a special thank you to Jade who was incredibly hard-working, friendly and helpful. She served us excellent breakfasts both mornings and went out of her way to ensure that we had a fantastic stay. We love Fowey and we we will definitely choose Haveners again as our accommodation when we next visit.

Lovely setting right on the estuary with nice views. Staff friendly and efficient and the food was great. Fish batter crispy with tasty chips. Crab great.

We had a 2 night stay and it was great although if you sleep with the window open this is not the place for you due to its position on the quay and the seagulls. Jenny in the restaurant was great.

Excellent food, generous portions and as fresh as it could be. Friendly service we and our four dogs were made to feel welcome and valued. The dogs had a treat each from the waitress who made a great fuss of them - thank you. Great views too!

The food is always good and the staff are welcoming and friendly. We have enjoyed dinner, breakfast and drinks sat looking out at the lovely view on several different occasions while on holiday in Fowey!

Lovely Location. Food good. Location is great. However for the prices charged the food is very average. £30 for an 8oz Sirloin. £10 for some squid and dip.

Great location and a very welcoming staff. We lucked out and managed to grab a roast beef Sunday lunch that was just sublime. The beef was so soft it parted with a fork and the selection of veggies was perfect with the amazing gravy. Couldn’t have been happier that we stopped in for dinner.

Brilliant staff, brilliant location, brilliant food and drink. Loved the outside bar. Really enjoyed the teamwork that exists amongst staff. A credit to the fabulous Fowey!!!

Service is great and the staff are attentive, but the venue outside is a little rundown, and the views are lovely if you can ignore everyone else sat along the quay. Could do with a little TLC; the tables outside are sticky and planters are falling apart. The food is ok and a little overpriced. Still great for a drink and a quick bite, but for a relaxing meal, I would prefer to venture elsewhere.

Just had a drink and a coffee at Haverners. The location and view is one of the best in Fowey but the real difference is the manager Lee and his team. They are so friendly and efficient it makes any visit well worth it. We have eaten here too many times and the food is very good. Strongly recommend!

Loved our stay - staff, rooms and food were lovely and great views of the harbour.

Lovely food, you pay for the view though.

We accidentally passed by this place and we didn't regret it!!!! The best food in Fowey in our 5days stay. Great service and delicious food. The onion soup was super super delicious and lobster was really fresh!

We were staying in Fowey for 3 weeks and had bookeda table at Haveners. We ordered a rather expensive bottle of wine but told the waitress we were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary so we were spoiling ourselves. We had a lovely meal (I had the dressed crab which was delicious, my husband had the steak) and we decided to share a pudding as we couldn't manage one each. The waitress bought over a huge portion of sticky toffee pudding and said it was on the house for our anniversary. How lovely! Thank you. Later on we were joined by friends for a few days and again booked a table in Haveners. My friend had emailed previously to see if they could accommodate her partner who likes plain food. They went above and beyond and cooked something to suit his taste. My friend and I had the linguine which was delicious and my husband had the burger. Again we shared the huge and delicious sticky toffee pudding. We always eat at Haveners when we're staying in Fowey and it has become one of our favourite restaurants.

We knew a couple of weeks in advance that we would be eating at Haveners, so I emailed them to mention my partner is very plain eater and their glorious menu would be a bit of challenge for his palate. The chef was amazing, emailed me back almost immediately and asked what my partner’s favourite dish was and he would cook it for him. This was marvellous as it meant all four of us could really look forward to eating at Haveners during our break in Fowey. We arrived on a bustling Friday evening and, once seated in the restaurant, the friendly waiter took our order. I only had to briefly mention we had emailed about a plain dish and he knew exactly what I was talking about (the serving team had obviously been well briefed before service). Our drinks were served quickly and the starters arrived in a timely fashion. My partner’s special order main course of Chicken Kiev was absolutely perfect – a very large breast of chicken with chunky chips and garden peas. My friend and I ordered the special seafood linguine (tweaked to be quite mild) which had lots of juicy king prawns in it and a rich and creamy sauce – again absolutely perfect. Somehow, we managed to find space for desserts. My crème brulee was gorgeous and my friends’ sticky toffee pudding was delightful and a generous size ideal for a couple to share. It was a brilliant evening in gorgeous surroundings with marvellous food and lovely staff. Thank you Haveners.

Visiting fowey we stopped in at haveners for a drink and decided to eat, so had the burger and the fish,it was all very tasty and well presented,a little on the pricey side but we were at Fowey , would go again because the food was worth it and staff welcoming.

We had a wonderful Sunday Roast Lunch. Sat inside to avoid Sun but had a lovely sea view. Meals delicious, beautifully presented. Staff all lovely and efficient. It is very popular but can cater to large numbers of guests easily. Boat tours leave from outside so we made a hasty decision to do 2 and had a lovely lazy Sunday in beautiful Fowey.

Great place and delicious food! After 5 years of being vegetarian I decided to try a fish and I had an amazing experience! Cat was really friendly!

Nice food, even nicer views, and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

My husband says it's the best fish and chips he has ever had. The staff take customer service to another level and have time to chat.

Right next to the river, very friendly staff.

Great to be back in Fowey and staying in the apartment again at Haveners where we received a warm welcome from Lee the manager. Fabulously refurbished with new contemporary look, and new kitchen. Views are amazing and good central location. The restaurant downstairs offers an extensive menu for breakfast lunch or dinner. We had a wonderful meal of sea bass from the specials options to quick start the holiday. Thanks to Georgie for recommending the sea bass it was delicious.

We had a lovely family Sunday roast. One of the best roasts that we have had. We were lucky enough to have a table by the window, so also enjoyed the view of the river

Food is an absolutely amazing lamb shank out of this world .staff excellent. Twice we have been. The battered fish was really tasty and amazing. The customer service skills. I really enjoyed the food. On Tuesday was very quiet and today was quite busy. All the staff serves the customer very well

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were well looked after. Excellent staff and fabulous food. Thanks to Cat and Barris who looked after us and gave us a seat in the window. What a fabulous view! Thankyou for a lively evening.

Best place to eat in Fowey , food is consistently great . Staff are amazing , such a friendly lovely experience . Would highly recommend

I visited here twice on a recent trip to Cornwall. On both occasions I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and helpful. And the food was delicious and good value. Service was also swift. If you find yourself in Fowey, I would recommend visiting.

Had a lovely meal here today. The squid starter was delicious, the batter was light and delicately spiced. And the fish and chips for main was tasty too! Fresh hake, crispy beer batter and minty mushy peas. All freshly made - indulgent and heavenly! The staff were bubbly and friendly. And we got to watch the boats in the harbour whilst we ate. All in all, a lovely evening and worth the price for a nice treat.

Great location in the centre of Fowey, nice decor. We thought the food was good, with a focus on local produce and good vegan options too. Nice drinks, they had local Cornish wines. We thought the staff were friendly, the young man with long hair was especially knowledgeable and very helpful. The only thing that let it down was the amount of dogs in the restaurant. The ones that weren’t barking were whining like whales. We don’t expect this for an evening meal in a restaurant. Perhaps it was just unlucky. We would return 👍

Stunning roast! The meat was SO tender and tasty with such a lovely selection of veg and a gorgeous Yorkshire pudding! Best roast we've had in a long time and the staff were all so lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend! Best roast in town!

Great location. Varied menu and also has good choices for children. Relaxed atmosphere with great views of the estuary over to Polruan. Calamari starter was delicious followed by the steak pie, again yummy. Customer service was attentive and excellent throughout.

Greatest location, same with a wide variety of good food and drinks. Despit being busy the staff and service was friendly and speedy. Recommended, I will return!

Best food we've had for ages. The seafood chowder was exceptional. Service was perfect and thanks for giving us the best view in the house!

Delicious food, we had starters and mains one night and mains and puddings the other night. They happily catered for my strange food requests. Beautifully cooked and the service staff were friendly and excellent.

We started our 10 day visit in Cornwall with 3 nights at Haveners. What a lovely location right at the water’s edge. The staff was so warm and welcoming beginning with Callum. JLo in particular welcomed us each morning for breakfast and was so friendly and helpful with ideas for our days.

Lovely young man served us called Barris. Great service and very friendly. Nice coffee. Surroundings and view perfect. Good place to stop while waiting for our boat trip

Lovely place and friendly staff. But foods are pricey £19.75 for fish and chips totalled to £59.25 (x3). Mushy peas looked dry and weird it's not mushed enough and the chips are very oily and very well cooked nearly looking burnt. A disappointing meal.

Always lovely food, great position in the Harbour. Service very good too. Recommend you book in advance if you are visiting in the holiday season

Whilst visiting Fowey we managed to sit in the lovely outside terraced area and enjoy a drink whilst sitting in the sun. Drinks all good, staff friendly, happy and efficient all very relaxing indeed. A very tidy and well run modern restaurant with rooms.

Lovely friendly setting, our waitress was so accommodating and food was great, reasonable price too . We weren’t rushed and felt very relaxed

I'm writing this part way through a three-week stay in stunning Fowey, which is nice, because I know we have many more lovely experiences to have at Haveners - our go-to bar and restaurant in this lovely town on the Cornish coast. So far, we've had dinner, lunch, morning coffee (twice - this is THE best coffee in all of Fowey, trust me! As for the blueberry muffins - yummy!), breakfast (absolutely the tastiest Eggs Benedict we've had in years, which is probably why we're going back for more this morning) and more drinks in the stylish bar than we'll ever remember - probably because we keep having 'just one more'! Talking of the bar, what a fabulous selection of drinks, from beers and lagers to spirits and some delicious wines, but particularly wanted to shout out the Espresso Martini from last night - my choice of 'dessert' because I was too full for one from the menu after a superb dinner of Salt & Pepper Squid and one of the specials, a spicy, packed full of flavour Chicken and Coconut curry with rice and poppadoms. I can't write a review of this brilliant bar and restaurant (a true 'haven') without shouting out the staff! Not only is everything excellent from the kitchen and bar, but there is such a lovely ambience (the buzz in the restaurant last night was a great vibe too) and friendliness from the lovely staff. Lee and his whole team make this a real destination venue! Luckily, we have a week left here, and I'm signing off now because we are heading to Haveners for another breakfast and one of those superb coffees... or two. Just lately, we keep having two each!

Fantastic food, had the seafood chowder. Excellent waiting staff- making great recommendations for our group.

Our “Go-Too” place in Fowey for food or drinks, always have a great experience, but today we met Tom, his first day at Havener’s What a great guy, seams he’s only here for a couple of weeks before heading further south, to work in another...

Had a fabulous tasty lunch here. I had the Lamb Scotch Egg, hubby had the Pulled Brisket Baguette. All beautifully served. The Management and Staff were very friendly, and professional. Made us feel very welcome and comfortable, and made sure all our needs catered for. Will definitely return in the summer.

We had the fish and chips and the Guinness burger special. Both were tasty and gave us the energy to continue with our walk. Service was quick and friendly. The location is conveniently right by the ferry to Polruan.

We stayed for 2 nights Bed and breakfast. We also had dinner on one of our nights stays. Everything was perfect. Breakfast was one of the best cooked breakfasts we have had anywhere. J.Lo who served us was lovely and an asset to Haveners. We...

Super meal, all four of us really enjoyed our food, Three had the pie and I had the seafood chowder off the specials, was delicious. All the staff were polite and friendly. The decor is lovely and the dining chairs extremely comfortable all things that...

Pleasant place for a drink and a snack. Menu limited but good location to drop into whilst in Fowey

The Haveners’ staff really cared about my food intolerances. Special mention for Roger the chef who altered dishes to suit. Enjoyed our stay in the annexe over looking the square. Lovely shower and warm bathroom.

Great staff and food was the best I had this year

Overnight stay with dinner and breakfast while walking. Friendly helpful staff. Nice touch- a proper coffee machine in the bedroom

Lovely evening meal here. Food was really really good! The red wine we choose was so amazing! Recommend a bottle of the fleurie as a glass just wont be enough!!!! Staff were very friendly and even helped us get a taxi home, which was proving really difficult! So don't miss Yr ferry back if u arrive on foot!!

Good food, fast service and good value

Another great meal, fully recommend going for a meal you will not be disappointed. Have never had a bad meal at Haveners. Great service, friendly staff who go above and beyond with their service, amazing views

We visited here for some lunchtime fish and chips, and were not disappointed! On arrival we received a lovely warm welcome and found all members of the team to be very friendly and attentive. We were sat in a beautifully decorated dining area with views...

Came today for lunch with a hen party, fantastic customer service by Georgia who remembered everyone's orders off by heart, nothing was too much trouble & very quick service! Kitchen staff made excellent food, highly recommend!

An enjoyable lunch in a great location

The best thing about this place was our fantastic waitress… she was amazing! Knew exactly what was on the menu, what the specials were and served us with such care and attention. The food was lovely and worth the money and I’d definitely go back.

We were welcomed by a friendly member of staff. I explained that we had a table booked but we were early. That wasn't a problem; she showed us to our table and we had coffee. The waitress checked on us a few times, she asked...

I've stayed in a few of the St Austell pubs and this one deserves a mention as being a cut above the rest. Impeccable service, a great breakfast, room with nice added touches and excellent location. Overall then a great option. See you again.

Had a wonderful 4 night stay at Haveners recently. Very comfortable room and great breakfast provided. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the option of a main menu or comprehensive specials. Lee and his team clearly put a lot of effort into ensuring guests or diners have a first class experience. We will return soon, thank you!

There was rain, rain and more rain outside, but that didn't dim the warm welcome inside. Sunday lunch with a good friend, and as a vegetarian I was delighted to have the offer of a seafood linguine special and not only the usual nut roast....

Excellent service, staff are very friendly, always smiling and keen to make sure you're happy with the food and where you're sitting. Food is very tasty and presented well. The views are amazing. We ate there on Valentine's evening and we loved it. We also had coffee and teacake there earlier in the week. We would definitely recommend you visit .

Wow, what lovely welcoming staff, we were drenched and were looking for a place to have a coffee and get out of the rain. We couldn’t have been looked after better. We were way too early but they let us in for shelter, the poor guy hadn’t even put his bag down before he helped us. We ended up staying for a roast dinner which was absolutely delicious, the staff were very cheerful and checked if we were happy with our food. They made a grey, wet day enjoyable. Thankyou for your kindness, I can’t wait to return with my family as it such a lovely place to be. Nikki & Mike.

It’s a lovely location and staff are super friendly and welcoming. Recommend to us as the speciality of the day , dressed crab or crab baguette. Chose the baguette when I couldn’t decide as it was “highly” praised by waiter Really wanted to send it...

Wow! What a fantastic Sunday lunch we've just had! The roast beef was falling apart, and all the vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly! The service from start to finish was impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble! We all left full, happy and completely satisfied!...

We’ve just had a lovely Sunday roast with family, the food was absolutely amazing!! The moment you walk in you are made to feel welcome and the service just continues to be great from start to finish! We love eating at Haveners and we will...

Lovely meal, we stopped off here randomly, staff were very attentive, food was quick and hot, loads of outdoor seating for us with our dog, right on the water

Always a lovely place to go for a meal, or just a drink. Lovely friendly atmosphere created by the staff and surroundings. Fantastic food always. The photos are of dressed crab and lemon curd cheese cake from the specials. Thank you for another wonderful meal ☺️

We arrived without booking a table and the staff were very accommodating and friendly, We ordered some lovely Italian red wine and each of us ordered a pie. The pie was beautiful and it was like home made. The service was excellent, we were served by Justyna who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. All in all was a lovely evening, I have been before and I tried the mussels which are a must try if you like mussels. We will definitely be back !

Visited here in early December with my family and I have to say, everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. We were greeted by warm staff members from the off, looked after brilliantly throughout our meal and all of us enjoyed everything we ate and drank. The mushroom risotto was incredible! Special mention to the staff because nothing was too much trouble and everyone we spoke to was really friendly. All in all, we really enjoyed our visit and can’t wait to come back in the New Year.

Popped into Havener’s whilst visiting Fowey for the Christmas market. Had a really lovely lunch and have to say that the staff, though busy, were super, very friendly and helpful. The menu had ample choices, I had fish and chips, which were beautifully presented and very tasty. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon.
