Hub Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We LOVE the hub. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the food is totally fantastic. The staff are super friendly too. We go there as often as we can :)

This cafe has a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere that is only surpassed by its amazing food! So much variety and full of flavour and very reasonably priced. I’ll be visiting again and again!

Excellent, tasty, fresh food. Servings were more than ample. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Decor was beautiful. Will visit again regularly as local.

What a pleasure it was to return to this cafe a year after we last came. Words are not enough to underline to the reader how impressive the food, service, welcome and value for money are at this wonderful vegetarian cafe. The magic worked on your taste buds alone will bring you back here again and again. The quality of the food, its variety of ingredients and the talent, presentation and taste of the food Cathy cooks here is beyond excellent. We have reviewed this venue on Happy Cow last year and said then 'why is this woman not famous' the same rings true today. The passion Cathy brings to her food shows in every dish and we've now tried much of the very wide variety on the menu. Every dish is bursting with flavour, texture and visual perfection. The ingredients Cathy uses, the seeds, vegetables, salads, cheeses all contribute to a rich and enlightening experience, even for those, like us, who have been cooking vegetarian food for decades. The picture attached is of the toasted ciabatta with caramelised onions, a rich creamy sauce and delicious mushrooms topping the bread. It was out of this world and accompanied by an equally incredible salad. The service, venue, relaxed music and the spotless hygiene all contribute to the overall regret that this lovely, lovely lady doesn't run a famous restaurant with Michelin accreditation and the recognition of what she is doing here every single day. This location is not to be missed. If you are in Liskeard and you don't come here to eat, you will have missed the culinary experience of a lifetime. Sit, eat, enjoy and be thankful. This lady works tirelessly to make Vegetarian food that warms the soul.

This lovely cafe is in the Liskerrett Community Centre. We discovered it after going into the wrong building when looking for the Family Hub for weigh-in clinic after our daughter was born! The food smelt delicious so we headed straight back for brunch after our appointment, and were not disappointed! We’ve been several times since and are always treated to a lovely warm welcome. The food is amazing - lots of flavour, generous portions and, despite neither of us being vegetarians, this place is often our first choice for food when we’re in town. Highly recommended, give it a try!

Simply delicious excellent food with plenty of vegan options and great value. We will definitely come back and recommended this amazing place😋

The food served here is absolutely amazing and we got a really generous portion. The falafels in pitta bread is delicious. Everything is reasonably priced and home made. Will be returning again when in Liskeard.

We stumbled upon the gem for Veggies and will be returning. Friendly, helpful, fair price and excellent food. Thank you

Whilst in Liskeard for the day, we were lucky enough to find this Vegetarian Café for our lunch. A delightful venue in the Liskerrett Community Centre only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Friendly, helpful people, a large selection of delicious food, excellent value for money - what a pleasant surprise. Thank you!

A beautiful little cafe. So peaceful and tranquil inside. The food is all freshly homemade food and full of colour! Everything I’ve had here has been absolutely delicious! - I’m vegan and there are many options for me to choose from ☺️ A real hidden treasure in Liskeard!

Great welcoming cafe with a relaxing atmosphere. Outdoor seating in summer. Interesting delicious vegetarian dishes so nice even for meat eaters! Amazing gluten free food too

Interesting and delicious hot food and salads in pleasant surroundings and friendly staff - what more could you want.

It's not the easiest place to find in Liskeard but it is tucked just a few steps away from the old cattle market which is now a large car park. Park as far away from the car park entrance as you can get and then just cross the road to the Liskeret centre and there you will find The Hub. We have eaten there twice now and been delighted with the way that the menu changes from day to day. For a quick lunch we can recommend the sandwiches, especially the brie and cranberry and the stilton and onion chutney. Each comes with the most amazing salad that is a collection of leaves, beans, grapes, tomatoes and seeds with olive oil and balsamic vinegar if needed. Perhaps not the greatest place to take a hardened meat eater but I have tried The Hub's version of a vegetarian burger and was delighted with it. We will be back and we have already recommended The Hub to friends and family/

I would give it six if I could... To start with, the staff at the Liskerrett Community Centre were lovely and friendly, which then continued into the Hub cafe itself. Masks were worn (by us and them) which was a big plus for us. The Cafe itself is lovely and bright and adorned with art created by the owner, and the whole atmosphere was very inviting and pleasant. We had sandwiches (stilton with red onion chutney etc., and humous with beetroot etc.), both of which came with salads. And these weren't just a couple of salad leaves and cherry tomatoes thrown on the plate, oh no - olives, avocado, lettuce, tomato, kidney beans, pomegranate and (I think) little slivers of mango. Drizzled with olive oil and balsamic (which you apply yourself). Both the sandwiches (which my wife and I shared, by which I mean approx 60:40 in my favour) were lovely, with loads of filling and flavour in between seeded bread, and the salad was beautiful (as was the coleslaw which also came with it). There were many enticing things we could have chosen from the menu, but we were in something of a rush, so went for the straightforward option. We both said that, if we had been holidaying in Liskeard for a few days, we would have been back to the Hub possibly every day to try more things on the menu. To cap it all, we spoke to the owner/proprietor, who is a lovely lady, and we had a laugh with her and the woman who served us. It is obvious that a great deal of thought and care goes into every part of the Hub. Bravo, and thank heavens the place has survived lockdown etc, and is obviously thriving. If we do move to Liskeard, we will be back!!

Delicious, fresh food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Great value for money too. Will be going again soon.

We were driving through the area and was after a spot for lunch, I came across this place while doing some searches on my phone. Off the beaten track I don't think we would have found this place otherwise, however so glad we did! We had absolutely delicious dishes at this wonderful cafe, we ordered a few to share, each one was so tasty and tasted so fresh. Would highly recommend!

Down visiting Cornwall from Buckinghamshire today by accident we stumbled upon this cafe, tucked away near the market. Because of the current covid restrictions, we were served outside. And we had a superb lunch: my partner had a delicious mushroom and spinach quiche with a wonderful mixed “superfood” salad containing mango, avocado, grapes, gojis, as well as the usual salad ingredients. Being predominantly a plant based eater, I had a fantastic spicy bean burger with couscous, quinoa, and salad. The presentation of the food was perfect and the waitress could not have been more helpful. A real hidden gem if you enjoy quality and varied vegetarian/plant based cuisine. Highly recommended

Fantastic vegetarian cafe, another tasty lunch, presented with style and spoon tasty. Hidden gem in liskeard with a great range of options. Currently click and collect but with tables in the schoolyard.

Situated slightly off the beaten track, I'm so pleased I ventured a few minutes walk from Liskeard's Fore Street to discover this hidden gem of a café. Looking for nothing more than a seat and a light snack, I was greeted immediately by the warm, smiling welcome of the café owner, the sight of blackboards filled with scrumptious, affordable food-choices and the vibe of a chilled, cosy atmosphere that had me sitting down in no time.When my food arrived a short while later, again with a smile, there was three times as much as I'd expected - presented like 'art on a plate'. My biggest regret was that I didn't think to take a photograph of it.The sweet potato fritters were topped with Greek yoghurt with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds. The colourful, sumptuous salad contained pasta, couscous and 'olives with a kick', among several other tastes and textures. All of it was fresh, done to a tee and no two mouthfuls were the same - a taste explosion served with the passion and attention to detail of a proprietor who clearly loves what she does... and does it very well.I would highly recommend this café to anyone, meat-eaters included. I came away feeling inspired to return as soon as I can... and to eat less meat and much more of what they serve in The Hub Café.

Excellent food, lovely surroundings, nice people in the cafe. I would recommend this cafe to all my friends.

This place really surpassed my expectations. I did not expect such quality and variety in a community centre cafe. I had a lentil fritter with a delicious salad. I will definitely make this a stop off when ever I am in the area.

Me and my partner just went here for lunch and it was LOVELY! You can tell that the lady that owns it is very passionate about what she does....my partner had vegetable soup and I had the vegetable and bean tagine and it was lovely.....I took pics but looks better in real like than pics bcos of shade over pucs

ProsIts cleanCoffees ok Does light lunches.Food is fineSaves uses of the centre going into townPrices are fairStaff friendly.ConsNo gluten free options.It can feel a bit bleak particularly when there are only a couple of people in there.Free parking at the centre if you are using the facilities.Not much else one can say .If you want to shop .or just look around liskeard there are other coffee shops and places to eat which would be more central and have bigger choices.This primarily caters for users of the Liskerrit Centre.

Basic but clean and friendly. Fanrtastic vegetarian food. Within the Liskeret Centre. Warm and comfortable. Not pretentious. Only open until 3pm (or serving meals, at least)Sadly, it is not dog friendly and as a cyclist and usually occompanied by my dog, unable to visit as often as I would like

This place really is great and Cathy is a wonderful host. It's in the Liskerret Centre in Liskeard, opposite the far end of the Cattle Market Car Park (park there if you have a car).I'm not vegetarian but recommend to everyone as, for meat eaters, it makes a healthy change. The friends I've taken there have all been impressed (even if a little cautious at first given its vegetarian and that they are meat eaters!).The variety of salads on the meals are great and it makes a change as its not something I'd do at home because of the wide range of ingredients used.My only advice is to avoid disappointment, avoid Thursday lunch times as the place is taken over by the local knit and natter group and consequently its difficult to squeeze in (and they aren't very polite in adjusting their chairs to make room for people!).

Love the food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. I have now been here se real times and it had consistently been outstanding. The food tastes great and very well presented. Each time I have had something different and it never disappoints! Thank you for being so welcoming to me and my little boy!

The vegetarian and vegan food is not only delicious and very reasonably priced but it looks wonderful. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.

My sister was visiting and she is a vegetarian/vegan so I immediately thought of taking her here. Wow! We were not disappointed. Excellent food and service in delightful surroundings. Truly a hidden gem that's well worth looking for. We will definitely be back!

I discovered this gem for 'foodies' hidden away in Liskerrett Community Centre near the old market car park.There is nothing outside to hunt at the treasure hidden inside. Forget you have to sign into a rather bleak building and just go for it.Their mixed salads which come with most dishes are a treasure. I'm not a vegetarian but I'm prefer their menu to many cafes around. I've been coming here for 2 years whenever in Liskeard. If you like good wholesome food, give it a try. Don't worry that one of the waitresses doesn't smile!

Since discovering the Hub a year ago I now only eat there when in Liskeard. Everything is accompanied with wonderful salads.

Never disappointed by the generous slices of homemade cakes on offer. You can see the food being lovingly prepared and service is always with a smile.

I came into Liskeard today to visit a friend I hadn't seen for several years and she had booked us a table for lunch at this wonderful little cafe. There is a varied menu of all kinds of delicious vegetarian fare. I had the Homety pie and my friend had the quiche. All the food is homemade and comes with a salad, which apart from salad, has rice, pasta, cous cous and other little delicious tasty morcels in too. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and clearly well known to the locals as it was busy. Thank Ros for taking me and thank you Hub Cafe for a fabulous lunch.

Amigos prometiendo me almuerzo aquí por un tiempo y hoy fue el día. . . Ubicado en un edificio de la comunidad, que parecía tener mucho que hacer, la pequeña y acogedora Hub era sin duda la pena la espera. Una maravillosa selección de ensaladas con una generosa porción de Tarta caliente Homity que sólo puedo describir como el equivalente de la comida un cálido abrazo. . . ! Servicio al cliente también era muy buena, agradable, acogedor, auténtico y con una sonrisa grande y preciosa. Si estás en Liskeard y te gusta algo de comida deliciosa y el precio muy razonable, buena sana o vegano, vegetarianas no busque más que el cubo.

The food is always very good. There are a range of dishes which change periodically and they are almost all accompanied by a very good range of salads which are both tasty and healthy. Thoroughly recommended.

The Hub does exactly what it says it does. A very varied, imaginative, colourful, local produced range of vegetarian and gluten free foods. To be able to eat delicious home made freshly prepared dishes without worrying about what's in your food is a delight in itself. Falafels, patties, quiches, soups - it is the only menu I have ever seen where I could (if I had the capacity) eat my way through every course; the salads are to die for with such variety and colour, a joy to the eye before you even start to eat, flavours and herbs so subtle. Culinary masterpieces

Este pequeño café está escondido en un centro comunitario, pero hace un montón de negocios. Sin duda a la sabrosa, menú saludable vegetariana. No se desanime por el menú vegetariano puro como los platos son muy imaginativo, muy sabrosa y todo casero. Sin duda volveremos. Nota para el café purista. . . Café de filtro y recibirás sólo está disponible pero que descafeinado realmente no disminuyen la gran selección de aperitivos y delicias para acompañar la bebida.

Amazingly busy and popular lovely creative vegetarian food at a reasonable price.Lots to choose from and spoilt for choice.

Encontramos esta joya de café vegetariano por casualidad y tan contentos que hicimos! Almorzamos allí la semana pasada y ambas fueron evolucionando positivamente impresionado con la comida, el servicio y el ambiente. Tuve el picante de garbanzos strudel y mi pareja, ambos sirven lentejas al churro con una selección de ensaladas deliciosos. Las porciones son abundantes, comida deliciosa y el personal muy amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita para un almuerzo satisfactorio, sabroso y a un precio razonable.

Very tasty vegetarian food. Very generous portions and very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Only down side is they only do instant decaff coffee.

A lovely veggie cafe with a friendly atmosphere and beautiful food. I had the bread and red pepper hummus which was great and came with heaps of tasty salads. My girlfriend had the lentil fritter which was also brilliant and again lots of salads! It's...

This cafe close to the middle of Liskeard in the liskett community Centre offers great value homemade vegetarian food in a comfortable setting with a lovely high ceiling. Open for lunch and tea, we visited on an evening when the cafe stays open later occasionally for events like films or music. I had a very tasty goats cheese pizza with the cheese melted on top to perfection with a generous mixed salad and plenty of balsamic on the table. To follow wonderful homemade coffee cake, very filling and all for less than £10. Thoroughly recommended.

I've been to the Hub many times and find the food consistently good. The best thing is the wide range of interesting salads served with each meal. My 11 year old son loves it too. They are always friendly and welcoming too.

I collected a bean salad and a couscous salad for our department lunch today. Ordered it on line and picked it up at 9 am. These two things brought our food to life. WOW! So tasty!! Never had a bad meal and the owner is always friendly and helpful. I'm hooked!!!!

Very welcoming, lovely plate of veggie food with wide variety of salads and accompaniments, all very nicely done! Will definitely come back when we're in the area!

Beautifully presented and exquisite tasting vegetarian cuisine. Can't recommend it enough. It always smells divine as soon as you walk in, the setting is unusual but I love the quirkiness of it. The staff and owner are always helpful and polite.

Excellent vegetarian food. Try this you will love it. Nice to have something different. One of Liskeard's hidden gems.

Serves vegetarian and vegan lunches as well as homemade cakes and tea.The lunch was the best I have had in Cornwall; superb homemade Homity Pie served with a marvelous array of salads. Everything was homemade, fresh and delicious.

Very presentable vegetarian cafe within the Liskerrett Community Centre, opposite the Cattle Market car park in Liskeard. Great food served by pleasant staff. Don't be put off by it being in a community centre, the place has a lovely friendly atmosphere and isn't at all noisy. The Hub Cafe is often open before evening events in the hall alongside when full evening meals, wine etc is available as part of the night out!

Just had a wonderful vegetarian lunch. The bean burger was reportedly excellent as was the quiche, all coming with a fabulous variety of salads. I just had a salad and it filled me up.Good choice and portions, great flavours and great prices. The cakes were lovely too.The old school building of the Liskerret Centre gave a calm relaxed atmosphere, service was also good. Highly recommend a visit. I just wish it was on my doorstep for work, I'd be there every day.

The Hub Café serves lunch on weekdays from 1200-1400 and closes at 1600.It is within an old school that has been transformed into a community centre with an art gallery, a playscheme, a computer classroom and a cinema.We have eaten there twice and been happy with the food both times. There's the usual blackboard menu with several choices. Most of the "main" choices come with several salads. I really can't recommend this place enough. A wholesome plateful at a reasonable price. I hardly need to eat for the rest of the day! They can adjust things for vegans too.There is no alcohol sold although I guess you could take your own in. I saw no families with children on either visit but I'd have taken mine there when they were young! They do half portions... The vinyl table cloths make it above average in the child-proof stakes!A bit hard to judge the atmosphere - it is, after all, an old classroom! There are plenty of newspapers, magazines and the usual tourist/arty leaflets etc. Local artists display their art on the walls.Here is an independent review which is accurate and includes pictures:http://choclogblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/liskeards-hidden-gem.html
