Lamorna Pottery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I had the best scones I have ever had here. And if I go somewhere in the summer, I will get scones.

We stayed for one night while walking the coast path. The Tree Tops room was very comfortable and beautifully maintained. The dinner and buffet style breakfast were plentiful and delicious. Excellent value for money. A little far from the coast after a long days hike but well worth it.

Excellent food and service. The tuna melt panini was lovely. Enough for two as the side salad was better than most full salads! Doug our golden retriever thought it was ace too as he was given a surprise treats offering. The garden is a nice suntrap.

Enjoyed a wonderful night while hiking the southwest coast trail. Room was very comfortable and Jeremy went out of his way to provide great service. Enjoyed a lovely dinner meal and morning breakfast was super. It is about a 30 minute walk up from the cove and along a main highway. Highly recommend.

Really friendly welcoming staff, lovely home made food and cakes.

Absolutely fab just the best Dahl I’ve ever had and apple pie to die for, it’s like a secret garden peaceful and inviting you just want to stay chill all afternoon

We stopped for lunch and had a lovely meal, generous portions very well prepared, delicious.

Found Lamorna pottery again after first visiting over 10 years ago. Tucked out of the way you have to want to find it. Had paninis which were pricey but nice. The start of the show was the fresh scones though. Worth the trip for those alone

Reading some of the recent reviews, I can only think that the owner made a mistake with our bill. Yesterday, 28 July, we were charged £32 for two paninis and two soft drinks. I would appreciate a comment from the owner.

We stop here now and again for lunch after a walk with the dog. It is by far the best value for money, superb all round quality of food and very friendly staff, with a pleasant garden seating area. We have also taken part in the pottery taster session which was great fun. Definitely worth a visit for the food and for the pottery,

Loved loved loved our stay here. Horrific weather when we pulled up but within a few minutes we were talking with the owner and had been shown our room. The room its self is great, a real 70s chic about it, very private and huge. Comfy bed and super quiet through the night. Although there was no full english offered, the continental breakfast was incredible, anything and everything you could possibly want and super good quality food too. I would definitely recommend Lamorna Pottery to friends and family, and we intend to stay here again.

Had a lovely lunch there yesterday, I had the Mediterranean quiche and my friend had the curry - both were delicious.

Popped in for lunch after our drive down to Cornwall. Had a panini and a coffee sat outside in the garden, but there were was plenty of other delicious bites on offer. They do a couple of interesting sounding curries which smelt delicious; we will definitely be back to try those. Plenty of choice if you avoid gluten or are vegan; cakes looked amazing. The staff / owners are lovely, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Enjoyed a delightful walk down to Lamorna Cove after lunch. Perfect start to our week in Cornwall,

Another great lunch at Lamorna Cove. The soup with cheese scone must not be missed. The soup is home made and always something exciting and slightly different. I am gluten intolerant and the cheese scone is the best I have ever eaten and you wouldn’t know it was gluten free as it is light and tasty.

We came for lunch and ordered minestrone soup and chicken curry, cake and coffees. The foods were very very tasty, home made to perfection. Coffee was good and peach cake was super soft, moist, not too sweet it was a highlight. The have outdoor seatings in the garden area, and some inside at the conservatory. Lovely place, lovely people.

Stayed at Lamorna Pottery - the room was great, really big and stylish; the food was fantastic. Very highly recommended!

Friendly welcome, lovely service and great food. We visited with a dog and autistic young adult and it is a great environment for both! No worries about the dog breaking pottery as it's in a lean to conservatory. Quiet and peaceful for the young person. Pepper and coconut soup with sour dough bread, cream tea with loads of cream, homemade cakes very generous fresh and moist. All lovely.

We had lentil Dahl, Aloo Gobi, Red pepper soup. All the meals were EXCELLENT. They were happy to accommodate for a child with just a bowl of rice. I really have to visit in the Summer when it’s a little warmer to sit and have our food outside as the woodland garden is lovely.

Only stopped for coffee and cake, both excellent.

Amazing little cafe and pottery, owners are amazing hosts, very friendly, very helpful, food is amazing and cakes amazing too

Nice place surrounded by greenery, like a fairy tale, we stopped by chance, we had a delicious breakfast, the staff were friendly and kind, we visited the Pottery and talked to the artist, I purchased a small nativity scene that will make a beautiful impression in the my collection. If you are in the area I recommend it for breakfast and don't miss making a purchase at the Pottery, it will be a wonderful memory. Warm regards to the whole team and Thank you. Mauro

We had the most fantastic afternoon tea for our daughter’s 16th birthday. Dottie and Mark were lovely (as was the other lady whose name I didn’t catch). The food was AMAZING and lots of it. They even baked a special birthday cake for her. I cannot recommend them enough and wish them all the best for their new venture. Would highly recommend and we will be back for lunch before we leave Cornwall. Thank you so much.

Have been to this cafe many times over the years but this was the first for three or four years. One of our party had a cheese and chutney sandwich which had a side salad. The rest of us had a cream tea, well what else would you have, it's Cornwall after all. The sandwich was very good, the cream tea was awesome. These wonderful wonky homemade scones, lashings of jam and cream. Probably the best cream tea you will get.

Excellent lunch with tasty salads, accompanying homemade quiche with really light pastry and a deep filling. Husband's langoustines were perfectly cooked. Good choices are available on the menu, and whilst we didn't try them, the cakes looked great.

We popped in here to look around the pottery, full of lovely artistic pots, cups, larger pieces and well just a rather eclectic mix of things...all very nice. We bought a couple of gifts and headed on our way kicking ourselves that we had eaten earlier as the food smelt and looked gorgeous.....we shall be back to eat!

Agree with the other reviews on here - this place is excellent. Wanted a base to explore Lamorna without going all the way down to the waterside. Tranquil setting - table was by a stream. Extensive menu - we chose the curries, which were delicious and fragrant. A good range of crafts and gifts to choose from. Would highly recommend.

we are semi regulars living in the area so pop in after a walk in the woods nearby. the service is always friendly and welcoming. it is a treat for us to visit. the cakes are the best in the area by a long way. i have visited most of the cafes in the area and i haven't eaten better cakes. the garden is a delight and very peaceful even in the height of the tourist season in august. highly recommended.

We stopped off at the Lamorna Pottery Cafe on our way to the B & B we were staying at for the week. We were greeted by a lovely lady who took our order. The menu is healthy and varied. The food is great and there is a good selection of cakes on offer if you have a sweet tooth for after. I had the vegetable quiche and salad and my husband had a lovely chicken curry. Both meals used fresh ingredients and tasted great.

The cheese scones are absolutely delicious! The best I have ever tasted & I am fussy. Nice little spot for lunch & such friendly people running it. Don’t let those who slag it off get to you. They are nasty self important people! Grrrr!

Haven’t been here since covid hit and was so happy with the delights on offer. A vast array of cakes made by owner on offer. The carrot cake was joyous and so big was able to share with another member of group who thought he didn’t want anything to eat. He also had a bit of my friend’s Bakewell tart as that was big too. My husband was delighted to see apple pie and custard on offer. All in all a very good experience which will be replicated very soon when out on our bikes again.

Possibly the best carrot cake I’ve ever eaten, coffee excellent. Vegetable curry excellent.. Can’t recommend it place highly enough.

We visited this cafe after reading some of the other reviews and we're not disappointed. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and ordered a cream tea to share. The scones were warm and light with very generous portions of jam and cream. The garden is cosy and tables clean. Beautiful situation and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Definitely returning!! Thank you.

We visited as a family, and had a range of different meals on the menu, we tried the chicken curry, vegetarian Dahl and the quiche which were all were very tasty and big portion sizes! The staff were also very friendly and would highly recommend a visit!

Had the lentil Dahl with rice. Huge portion of the tastiest Dahl, excellent value for money. The guys were happy to give me a doggy bag to takeaway as I couldn’t eat it all. Was lovely heated up the next day too. Such a shame they close over the winter period.

A lovely place to visit again and again. A superb little pottery shop filled with the famous Lamorna Pottery as well as other pieces by various artist. The definite bonus is the cafe! Delicious soups, lentil curry, and oh! Cakes are all made in their kitchen. A must visit, and it's all snuggled amongst the trees and a stream. Truly lovely.

Excellent HUGE portions of genuine vegetarian curry dishes. A little pricey but worth it. The hosts showed Genuine pride in providing a unique and special meal in a quiet corner of Cornwall. I will return when I’m next close by and hungry!

A warm welcome for us and our dog and delicious cream tea. There was no stinting on the cream and jam! Thank you!

What a lovely secret location hidden on a back road just off the A30 on way to Newlyn So friendly and the choose of cakes was unbelievable Cherry Pistachio and frangipane to die for Took a peek around the gift shop and bought a few inessentials Would definitely come back

Very calm and friendly experience. Pottery painting was great value and we were really well looked after. The shop is full of unique items and the local art is also very well sourced. We stayed for lunch at the cafe after which was excellent and...

THANK YOU for a warm welcome and the most delicious curry in your tranquil garden. Loved the pottery and craft shop too- have used my beautiful vase whilst on holiday and look forward to filling it with flowers from my garden when I get home....

Stunning cream tea, friendly staff and amazing pottery. The food smelt amazing we will be trying this next time. Thanks we will be back again ☕️🫖

A quiet oasis in the shade and plenty of interesting pottery to delight. The only disappointment was the tea, served on a scruffy tray in mismatch cheap crockery; why not use the beautiful pottery made here to advertise and entice more purchases. Also, freshly boiled...

The scones were unreal. How can they make these heavenly good scones! Lovely little garden. A true gem.

Lovely place tucked away among the trees and birdsong. Enjoyed delicious gluten free cake and coffee with my daughter. Came away with a dear little pottery Lamorna Mermaid. Went on to visit the amazing Merry Maidens nearby.

We visited this cafe twice during our holiday, returning because the food was so good the first time. We had veg curry, chicken curry and Dahl and all were absolutely delicious, big portions too. The staff were lovely too and the chap who made the...

We have visited this venue many times before, and as locals we have sent many visitors here, we last visited here for my birthday last October and at the time enjoyed our visit, unfortunately however this time was very different, I counted 14 covers including...

Visited purposely for afternoon tea. Absolutely gorgeous. Staff so friendly and very accommodating. The craft shop was an aladins cave of locally produced items.

We came across this by accident and were very pleased that we did. We had a cream tea which was excellent. the shop is full of lovely things. Lovely setting. Worth searching it out.

This place was recommended to us by our host during our stay recently. Warm and friendly staff, clean environment with lovely food. Very good vegetarian options. My husband particularly enjoyed the red lentil dal. I pretty much loved all that I tried. You will enjoy...

Great food in a lovely setting with friendly staff. My wife absolutely loves the dhal! We live quite close and it’s a real boon to the area. Set in a quiet, wind sheltered valley, they also do pottery experience sessions for rainy days!

Made to feel very welcome. Lovely shop and cafe. Really good soup and a cheese scone for lunch. Everything home made and good choice of food. Lovely outside space for warmer weather. Nothing open at Lamorna Cove so very grateful to find such a nice...

A very friendly welcome, great coffee and the best carrot cake ever! Definitely worth visiting for refreshments and a browse around the pottery gift shop.

Stumbled across this cafe whilst out walking after storm Eunice. Gorgeous cafe, lots of lovely pottery and very friendly people! We enjoyed an amazing selection of cakes (all home made) and the owners very generously gave us a freebie slice of lemon drizzle to try....

We passed this cafe on our way to our holiday cottage. It looked so inviting from the outside we just had to visit. We weren’t disappointed. Such a warm friendly welcome and the food was delicious. My husband had chicken curry which was freshly cooked...

Such a lovely cafe, really great cake and friendly staff. Lovely pottery in the shop, too

This is a gem of a place. We were undecided about what to have, so shared a curry followed by scones. (The chef heard we were sharing and kindly added a bit of extra curry). Both were delicious. The service was excellent. The pottery and...

We cycled by just as they were putting up the 'open' sign, and we were very pleased that our timing was perfect! Delicious cheese scones straight out of the oven, a very welcome second breakfast. Owners are a lovely friendly couple, offering home cooking and...

It had been mentioned to me by a friend that there was a very good cream tea to be had here, and I was not disappointed. Nice, light, warm scones with ample jam and cream. Whilst we didn’t need anything else, there was definitely the...

Lovely food but I just don't think you can serve a cream tea on a paper plate it spoils it however good the scones are

Always been the place locals would take friends from "up country" to experience a real cream tea experience, but these days so much more, great food and great service. Don't tell too many people..its our secret!

Fabulous lunch at Lamorna Pottery in the lovely garden. Great home cooked food and lots to choose from, generous portions and great value for money what more can I say……… oh there is something the staff are great, so friendly and welcoming. Definitely be a...

Visiting Cornwall so naturally you have to visit a pottery or two. We visited 4 and Lamorna is by far the most friendly and with price tags to fit every pocket. Large pieces and small alike- individual and reflective of the Cornish spirit! The lead...

Two year's on from our first visit, we came back for another cream tea and we were not disappointed. This was the best cream tea I've ever had. Big, fluffy, warm scones, accompanied by an incredibly generous serving of jam and clotted cream. As the...

Slight delay on our food, so we were given some lovely cakes to takeaway food was delicious and service was excellent, thank you

A lovely little restaurant in a beautiful location serving the best cream teas that you will find. And if you fancy a curry then you have come to the right place!

Quiet location, garden setting for good lunchtime snack.

Perfect in every way. Coffee was tastefully strong, cake was moist and plentiful and our dog had a bowl of biscuits. We could not have asked for more. Perfect

We had a lovely look around the pottery for sale, followed by the most delicious lunch of quiche and salad. Excellent home cooked food, served with a smile in the relaxed cottage garden. Very highly recommended.

We stopped here for a cuppa and a scone after a long cliff walk. Very friendly staff who were attentive and helpful. We sat outside on a sunny afternoon in the garden and our visit was a bit spoiled by the angle grinder being used...

We went to lamornacafe just to have a look at the pottery work and were were greatly surprised by the place, how lovely staff is and the food! For those who are gluten free this is heaven: best scones, cheese scones and GF cakes ever!!!...

This place lives up to the reviews and is fantastic. The food is lovely, the service is so friendly and the whole place is a real gem. Definitely find time to visit here because it’s such a great pit stop between walks / when exploring....

At the end of our stay in Lamorna we had lunch at Lamorna Pottery and was not disappointed. A superb curry and scones with cheese. Top quality and really comfortable with social distancing being correctly adhered to. Cannot fault anything and looking forward to a...

Cute little cafe in Lamorna..Great little garden to sit in while waiting for your bus to arrive

Self distancing is well catered for. Nice to see that food and drink back on chinaware instead of cardboard(which was fine for the visits between lockdowns) Thier cheese tea is amazing. Superb cheese scones plus 3 types of Cornish cheese and a side salad. Cream...

The pottery was great, and we ordered a curry and were shocked at how good it was, to find curry that was on par with other restaurants that would charge twice as much in a pottery shop in cornwall was quite something. The food was...

We've been to Lamorna Pottery since I came out of hospital in April, it was very nice. Jeremy and Munir (?) are very hospitable and nice. The soup is fantastic, lovely and creamy, yum, yum. There's two of slices of bread and lovely butter as...

I have been coming to Lamorna Pottery on and off since 1998. So when I am visiting, I always try to squeeze in a visit. So pleased I did. Really impressed with their COVID changes, and so pleased to see that they are remaining open....

Found this lovely place by chance and had a really fun afternoon making pottery and a cream tea afterwards. Really relaxing vibe and very friendly staff

Great cream tea, very nice welcome, pleasant place to stop

Cream tea was good but it just doesn’t taste the same on a paper plate ! Plastic containers for cream and jam and disposable cutlery. Not sure why everything was disposable because other local cafes I visited still using cutlery and crockery. Cup of tea...

Have stopped at the pottery restaurant three times now for curry, tried the veggie, lamb and beef can only say these are the loveliest curries we've ever eaten. The dahl is so creamy and the rice perfectly cooked. Some naan and poppadoms would be a...

Lovely cream tea with an exceptional choice of handmade pottery.

Lovely food and friendly service

A great activity, simple pot making or sculpting under the attentive supervision of Jeremy. Two hours for a family of 4 at one of the garden tables, no experience needed as we were all beginners but surprised ourselves with the results. The pots are glazed...

Could be the best lamb curry I've ever had. I love this place.

Lovely village pottery and restaurant. We ordered a takeaway curry from here and it was honestly one of the best we have had, even after spending time in India. The lamb was especially good! , would definitely recommend and will be back for more!

Was well impressed with the B&B and the owners!They do everything to make your stay perfect! Food is home made and wow,I was never a huge fan of curry but they made the curry i actually loved! and homemade cakes are brilliant! I Highly recommend...

This is a great roadside cafe and shop. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is very good too. Lovely quiet outside seating area. It is set amongst the woods. Very peaceful and relaxing.

We cannot recommend this lovely cafe highly enough. It is a great stop-off on the way to Lands End, Lamorna Cove, Porhcurno, etc. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is delicious - we particularly recommend the soups and scones. Yum! They also do Indian food. I grabbed a lentil dhal to take away; really great. The garden is fantastic, looking out onto a stream, with lots of space for social distancing between tables. Oh yes, we bought some pottery and plants too :-) Thank you Lamorna Pottery Restaurant!

Food as good as ever. Virtually the same menu. Excellent covid 19 spacing and order system. Plenty of outside tables. Disposable crockery and cutlery. Felt it was a very safe atmosphere. Will be back.

Lovely food, lovely service, lovely owners and absolutely, amazingly gorgeous pottery ! We have visited several times.

Lovely atmosphere friendly, very helpful owners and of course avery nice selection go good food. The pottery and gift shop had an extensive range of artisan gifts on sale

Scones were amazing and staff were very friendly and welcoming
