Jack's in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Saturday afternoon visit. Very friendly and relaxed local pub

Mcdonalds is Mcdonalds you know what you get, but that being said, all food was to a poor standard that is set my Mcdonalds. Chicken selects overdone, and all burgers looked a sorry state

The area is stunning and so much could be made of this place but the food was revolting. We had just done a long drive and had not realised that most food is not readily available early in the week or after 2pm so went to the cafe hoping to get at least a snack and take in the views. The menu was very limited ,the staff did not seem to know what was available and were more concerned with sitting chatting outside. We ordered burger and chips and were eventually informed this was a veggie burger. Having gone through the limited choices we settled on chicken burgers. These turned out to be chicken goujons in a bun with some chips in a plastic take away container. There was no salad, relish or pickles and we were informed they had run out of mayo but might be some if I searched through the other sachets which were just inside the door.. There was no cutlery ,no serviettes and I had originally ordered cheese for the beef burger but did not get a refund or any alternative offered. This disgusting meal cost just under £30 !!! As we left the staff were sitting out in the sun chatting with friends and one lady was eating ice cream from one of the big metal containers usually used for freezer storage. Health and safety? Trading standards? This place could be fantastic given the views and location but this might have been the worst meal we have ever eaten and price wise very poor value for money. We recommend that you avoid this place at all costs.

It was a long day my friend and I travelled from the High Peak to Padstow and return in one journey, high light of the day, fish and chips in the harbour that we expected to be well above average. Around 1pm bought from this 'chippy' and ate on the roadside outside of town. We both concluded that our fish and chips were amongst the worst we had experienced anywhere in the country. The fish, cod was paper thin, dark, old fish, tasteless and appeared to have been sliced through the centre to produce an ultra thin fillet. The batter was so tough that parts of which at the tail end was impossible, yes impossible to bite into. The chips were dark, perhaps having been double cooked. At £11.95 this take-way was APPALLING, for a restaurant sited in a harbour. If we had not left town we would have returned to Walkers, but we had seven hours to home. We both commented on how heavy this meal sat in out stomachs. Only plus was that they were hot and reasonably grease free. Both took a box of left overs home for the Farm Cats, I'll see if I can get a review.

Just fined 25k for rotting food and piles of rubbish. Given plenty of chances to get it right. Stay far away.
