Muddy Beach in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great dog friendly cafe overlooking the water. Very friendly staff and the fish finger special and scallop special were excellent. A great spot to stop for lunch

What a great find; excellent freshly prepared food. Catch of the day was skate and beautifully cooked, along with the samphire too. Cajun burger and Caesar salad were excellent. Small plates were generous and the Eaton mess prepared for take out was as pretty and delicious if we had it in the restaurant. Will go again when visiting the area; would highly recommend and super location👍

Muddy Beach is light and airy with outdoor seating if the weather is nice. The service was good and the staff friendly. We had brunch which was great - would recommend!

Great place to eat or even just for a few drinks. The staff are friendly and the service was fantastic. We both had a meal, one being the scallops and skin on chips, which my partner said was delicious. I had the chicken/chorizo potatoe dish, which was again very tasty and lots of! Sat outside on the decking as it was a nice evening and watched the boats going in and out of the harbour. Would definitely eat here again, and they served some really lovely dishes from breakfast to dinner.

I visited today whilst my Mini was being serviced and I had a bit of time to spare. I had a lovely lunch here. The halloumi burger was fantastic. It should have been a bagel but they’d sold out. The lovely waitress informed me that I could still order the dish, but it would be a brioche bun instead. It was delicious 😋 x The wine was lovely and not over priced. A really nice vibe with great food and wonderful scenery. Well done. I shall return with hubby xx 😍

Visited for lunch on a trip to Penryn. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside and staff very friendly. The brunch menu was quite substantial with a varied choice. Our food arrived quickly and portion sizes were very good. The meals tasted great and overall everything was really high standard. Would definitely visit again.

What a wonderful place. We had cornish cream tea for two and it was gorgeous. Warm soft scones, plenty of jam and cream with tea and coffee. The place itself is beautifully decorated, staff are friendly and polite, toilets are clean and nicely done. There is inside and outside seating, with a lovely view. An all round lovely experience.

What can I say….. we’re full to bursting!!! From the minute we walked in to the minute we walked out…. Full!!… it was a lovely friendly experience. Cam, our waiter, was a star…. Chatty, informative, interested in our trip…. well both waiters were great to be fair. It’s been about 18 months since we were last here and knew we had to return!

Great little place. Try the Buddha meal with a portion of chicken, delicious!

Not worth it. Poor service (though they tried) and average food for a high price is disappointing. Our coffees were served late and after our food. One plate came out hot and the server was holding with a towel - she handed it to my friend instead of putting it down. We had 3 occasions where food and drink was brought to us that we didn’t order. Food was under seasoned. Hollandaise tasted bland and from a jar. Could have done with a splash more acid. Bread was fine, but when paying £14 I felt a bit cheated. Generally just overpriced and not worth it despite the fact I’m sure they put the effort in.

Although this cafe has been open many years it has transformed from its early vegan only days to a true gem. Very nice menu offering a wide range of main meals or small tapas plates. Staff are excellent and very friendly. Informal atmosphere suitable for children and young babies. Outside dining area is large and wonderful views of Falmouth estuary. Food, especially fresh fish and seafood is prepared well by an excellent chef and it is value for money. If you are in the area make it a stop for breakfast lunch dinner or just a cuppa and marvellous cakes.

Lovely breakfast great location and friendly stuff. Recommend bubble and squeak, good gluten free celiac options

Had a nice atmosphere. My cappuccino was lush.

Lovely to find this restaurant situated in the harbour at Penryn. Nice atmosphere and decor inside we booked a table but probably didn’t need to as had plenty of spaces. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn’t fully appreciate the lovely views this restaurant has overlooking the river. The food was well cooked and presented well the service was good would definitely go back here again.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast (Brunch burger 👌🏼👌🏼) VERY lovely staff. Chilled, modern, fantastic views. I personally thought it was great value for what I thought was a luxury breakfast. I think my new fave brunch place in the area!

Lovely place right on the sea, comfy seats, great menu and really tasty coffee. Down a point for the obnoxiously loud music, weird atmosphere to have loud dance music on at 10am on a Sunday morning! The music only gets louder in the evening, ruining the peace of the area. It's a bit of a weird vibe for such an idyllic, relaxing and gorgeous venue.

One of our favourite places for a coffee or food at any time of day! The staff team are lovely, it's always clean and the food is great (pancakes especially).

Took the family out for a cream tea this afternoon-everyone agreed -one of the nicest cream teas they’ve ever had

Absolutely fantastic, friendly staff, nice location, food was delicious

First time in penwyn for a hoilday not much around in the area but this place we booked it in for a dinner and had a magical time with the food and drinks being amazing with a redone area looking very modern. The staff were friendly and so kind. Food service was very quick and everyone derseve credit for the night. Recommended for anyone visiting.

Me and my boyfriend came here and the atmosphere was absolutely brilliant alongside the staff that were working. If you are in Penryn, this is definitely a must go!

Great place for something to eat or a coffee ☕️ with Great view down the river 😀

Very polite and friendly staff and really make you feel welcome. Well priced and i loved the area outside as i watch the harbour while slurping on my caffine juice. Thank you. 🩷

Really enjoyed my berry pancakes and blackberry milkshake 😋

Alice and Cam were very happy and attentive behind the bar. All I went in for was a takeaway coffee and had a great experience, would definitely recommend and will be back soon to try the food! View from this place is also very inviting! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came for drinks and cake on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Incredibly friendly staff, tasty drinks, and the cakes were good to boot. Would definitely visit again to try a meal

We went for Mother's Day lunch today. As always, a great, family friendly but classy atmosphere with excellent service. The roast was a very reasonable price, especially for the quality and portion size. Similarly with the kids fish and chips. The child's size portion was spot on for our 11 year old. Thanks all, See you soon

Regrettably… even a dwarven constitution has its limits when enjoying copious amounts of ale and mead!. Alas! Such a fine establishment as muddy beach cafe exists in my doorstep! A splendid plate of breakfast was just the antidote I needed! I had the full breakfast and my merry band had other fantastic choices! Breakfast was very busy! (Must have been a battle last night).. bit of a wait on food at the time so I would advise booking unless you’re feeling lucky! Hell-hound friendly. I shall return!

Very tasty breakfast, catered for gluten and nut free and was dog friendly. Bit noisy due to low ceilings and being very busy. Would go again.

It's definitely on the pricier side (for me at least) but the food is fabulous (the eggs benedict was incredible) and the staff are a joy. Very nice little cafe, dog friendly and great harbour views.

We had an excellent meal with brilliant service. Would recommend this place

Great location. Welcoming to dogs .... even doggy treats on sale. Service very good but a bit short staffed leading to waits.

We visited for brunch and ordered the granola, chicken & waffles and Mexican special. Portion sizes were generous and the food was delicious. Nice quirky additions like bacon butter for the waffles. The coffee was spot on and the new special Reese’s hot chocolate was exquisite. 10/10 experience, food was amazing and service was great. Convenient car park just a 10-15 second walk away. We’ll 100% be visiting again.

Cold sunny day. Had a couple of hours to pass waiting for a train. Greeted by a lady with a lovely, genuine smile who just looked pleased to see me (I know she wasn’t) Two coffees and a lemon drizzle cake later I went for my train have gazed across the water through a panoramic window. You need google to find it but I think it’s well worth the effort

At muddy beach they provide amazing service with top quality dishes, they keep their menu small but well constructed. Great experience for everyone and will be visiting again

Great service and a decent breakfast 🤌🤌

Great impromptu lunch with my daughter, I really needed a cup of tea as she doesn't keep tea or milk in her student flat. I saw that the Vegetarian brekkie didn't have the ubiquitously bland Linda or plant powder sausage, the jackfruit fritters were stunning along with the spinach and red pepper was lovely. Great views and friendly staff, and great tea! Cornish Tea convert..

This is a wonderful cafe with excellent food served great vibe and views the breakfast was superb every item full of flavour

Had a lovely time at muddy beach today- took the dog ,staff were as always so welcoming Nice to have a welcome break from the Christmas craziness and food was scrumptious-family highly recommend the burnt pork ends !!

For an Incredible Christmas Party - We Thank you!! From the staff to the food you nailed it all - we had the best time! Thank you so much!

Fantastic food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Really good poached eggs.

We had an amazing meal at their “French” theme night off the back of 2 excellent burger nights. All 3 courses were so delicious, complimented by the great service. We will be booking for another theme night soon, although I was disappointed to see a hefty increase in price for the beer and burger night 😢

Every time we visit our son at Penryn Uni we meet here for breakfast or lunch. Lovely cafe, very clean, great food drinks and service. Great location. Can sit outside in the summer.

tout simplement superbe sums up the French Night. Fantastic menu and atmosphere big shout-out to the chefs and the other staff. Please put another French night on soon.

Good food excellent service and nice view

The food was very good, the staff were very helpful and friendly and gave a good service and we were not rushed even thoughthey were quite busy, wheelchair and dog friendly. Only been here once but by first impressions will not be the last.

Great place, had a fantastic breakfast, great veggie options. Friendly welcoming service, wheelchair accessible. Lovely views of the water. Highly recommended

Breakfast was ridiculously good. Swapped out mushrooms for halloumi, which was no drama.

First visit, noisy atmosphere, lovely view down the river, slightly disinterested waitress, coffee not hot but tasted ok. Avocado on toast with bacon was lovely as was the BLT and pancakes with fruit, shared slice of cake was a disappointment, stale and dry. Happy to return but give the cake a miss!

Excellent home cooked food, superb views and friendly and attentive staff. We were taking my aunt out for lunch and this was a perfect venue to catch up over some delicious food. (My only downside was the limited gluten free options on the menu)

Delightful cafe overlooking the river which l last visited some years ago under a different name I think. It's dog friendly and there is paid parking next to it at the traffic lights. Interesting menu (although the specials clipboard wasn't offered to us on a Sunday lunch time). We didn't want a big meal so I opted for the eggs benedict with smoked salmon, which wasn't cheap. As the picture shows it was immense and very good value. My lady opted for the even more expensive open steak sandwich and this cost the missing star. The steak was really good and there was plenty of it. However the bread was very hard to cut and the onions were just overwhelming and dominated the very large two piece open sandwich. Half of it with less onion and easier to cut bread we would happily have paid two thirds of the price for. My lady is hard of hearing so maybe tone down the music? Will happily return so well worth a visit

Best english breakfast ever the presentation and service was outstanding and dog friendly ,what a find my brand new favorite place.

Excellent cafe, stopped for breakfast. Nice varied breakfast menu, plenty of vegan and veggie options. Excellent quality ingredients, friendly and welcoming service. Great fresh tea/coffee. Views over the water and a nice terrace gor warmer weather. Highly recommended

We waited in the entrance for around 5 minutes for a member of staff to come over. He said there was only outside sitting available and he would wait for us to decide then walked off. The wind gust are 47mph !! There was a table just leaving and a couple of tables with spaces that I am sure we could have used whilst waiting for a table to clear. We wanted to support local as our daughter lives in Penryn. Sadly, neither of us will be visiting Muddy Cafe again !

Just a wonderful place for dinner. Great feel, wonderful staff and terrific food. Thanks to the staff for making it a great evening!

Such a delicious menu, always very friendly, good service and value for money. I can't recommend this place highly enough 😊💕

Great cafe with lovely staff and good coffee & cakes. There's an interesting view too if you sit outside.

Excellent food, great atmosphere would highly recommend if you're in Penryn 🤗

Loved this place. It's great to eat in or out. And I love the views. 🥪 are s bitto much.

As usual the food was fantastic. Staff were top notch. Atmosphere really good. Looking forward to my next visit.

Arrived to be told a half an hour wait which was no problem at all. We assumed we would at least be provided with a drink during that wait but sadly not. 45 minutes in 3 other tables who arrived after us all received their drinks and food. Very disappointing service and really not very organised. Taking orders at the bar and on an electronic device quite clearly does not work. Food arrived cool and not hot. Sadly wasted alot of time waiting taking time out of our holiday day. Really lovely to be able to bring the dogs and the food was pleasant. Feel very sorry for the young lady just starting manager needed to be present to support her through the poor service!

Absolutely lovely place in a fantastic location right on the water. We went on the wrong night to make the most of the vegan options but we did okay with the vegan tapas and they were happy to adjust the garlic bread to make it vegan. I also had an insanely green cocktail called an Angry Pirate which we think should be renamed the Angry Parrot. The staff were great and we would definitely go again next time we're in Penryn.

Wow! Wonderful tasty food, great service, we had the Brunch Burger and Haloumi fies, best tasting food we have had for a long time.

Lovely place to chill out with friends. Great for al fresco dinner or drinks.

Very relaxed, good service and food very tasty, reasonable price

Great location, especially when the tide is in. The breakfast options are delicious, especially the Cornish breakfast. Our server was amazing - very polite, welcoming and attentive. Definitely great to have a meal on the decking outside, with parasols meaning you can choose to be in the shade or lessen the risk of a light shower effecting your meal.

Turned up at 8 pm, looking for somewhere to have dinner after a long journey. We had two very hungry and tired young children. They found us a table quickly, and they were so kind to serve us quickly. Food was yummy, especially the fish and chips, and fishfinger sandwich. We were served, we ate and we paid by 9pm. Perfect as we wanted to get boys to bed. My 8 yr old said - it was absolutely amazing and I cannot imagine a restaurant thats better :)

First visit but definitely not last.

Coffee was perfect, breakfast was awesome, the breakfast burgers or a must 😋

Very good fish and chips. Quite expensive. Nice outdoor ambience. Prices in the upper segment don't actually match what's on offer.

Penryn doesn't possess that many eating-out destinations but this one is surely the standout and a contender for the Falmouth area. We both plumped for the 2 for £20 fish on Friday offer and guzzled a jug of (very green) Angry Pirate cocktail. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked without being greasy, crispy batter and simply presented on a bed of the best chips I've had in years. Designed to scoop up sauce, the chips were like potato churros - now there's an idea. The only gripe? Not enough of the tasty minty peas and I prefer them mushier (for the chip scoopage and a 1 of my 5 a day). But couldn't fault anything else and the servers were lovely and the food was prepared with care. A real gem next to the estuary with balcony tables and a dog-friendly atmosphere.

Food tasted brilliant. Unfortunately, this pork burger looks pretty undercooked. Don't typically complain but was pretty disappointed after halfway through...

We had family fish and chips out on the terrace looking out across the harbour. The food was delicious and the service was nice and friendly. I really would recommend this place!

Fabulous breakfast with lovely views of the harbour. Highly recommend a visit, great staff too 👍

Great food ,friendly ,efficient staff

Lovely chilled vibe and gorgeous deck with views. Yummy food and coffee ☕

Lovely place for a coffee and a meal - recommended to us by a local. Just a coffee for us - lovely views of the estuary.

Lovely place to go for coffee and cake. Also do a food menu if you want something more. Nice to sit outside by the river.

By far my favourite breakfast during my visit to Cornwall! Had the Cornish breakfast and it was so delicious, all cooked fresh and not too long of a wait for food. Great views sitting outside and staff were friendly both times we visited! Top Work 🙏

Nothing more can be said but ansum

We love this place. Right on our doorstep. The breakfasts are amazing, fill you right up. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Always our first choice and if you can sit outside the view is fabulous, you'll never want to leave. Excellent.

Was lovely, we were greeted very politely and the waitress was patient as we took some time to decide what to order and was checking in. Nice view as well

Really great place with fantastic staff I have a wheat issue and as I had the fish cake I thought I could get away with it but still got the burning throat after. Hopefully there's a better healthier flour out there. Cheers guys!

Charming location and great staff, food is good too .

Catered for a large group of people, excellent food and excellent service.

Service and attitude were very poor. Girl making coffee was cleaning cups with her fingers. I had been sitting there almost an hour before the breakfast arrived, despite the place being only a third full. Mushrooms were stone cold, beans egg toast and bacon were cold , hash browns were quite warm. Altogether a wasted hour of my life.

Very over priced. Pleasent staff. 14 quid for salad, that was drenched in oil and vinegar. Tons of lettuce and couscous but not a great deal of other ingredients. Disappointing.

Amazing place with mouth watering food, a dog bufet, great 2 for 12 drinks offer and very kind and funny stuff. Thank you for a great time, cannot recommend enough - thank you for having us! Barcelona squad :)

Very good service , very rasty food , lovely view

Such lovely folk, gave my little Grandson an extra biccie after his Sports Day

Great food, big portions and super friendly staff, come eat here!

Our go to place for breakfast when in West Cornwall. Fabulous venue and terrace with a fabulous view. Food and service is 10/10, Doggos also made very welcome.

Lovely breakfast with lots of room. This place was very busy on the harbour side. The server said there would be a 20 minute wait for drinks. Which was fine because we were told before ordering. We waited only 5 minutes. Food was delicious and not a compulsory vegan vegetarian cafe like other local cafes near by. Coffee was delicious and looked Devine. Highly recommend

Roasted Mediterranean sandwich which I ordered to take away apparently is two pieces of bread spread with something unrecognisable, two pieces of courgette, chunk of red onion (though I told that I’m allergic to it) and another chunk of pepper (picture attached) It was all decomposed when I opened the box though I carried it with care and it’s 3 min walk from my home. All in all for £14 pounds that’s a shame and all went to the bin.

Service was great, beautiful view.

Lovely setting, amazing food Always a good night And the most handsome waiter ever

Absolutely gorgeous location! Just BEAUTIFUL cafe💕 To start, my fish wasn't right, the staff was pleasant to speak with, apologetic and changed my meal straight away (no questions asked) and bought me a drink to apologise, my Mediterranean salad was excellent! Lovely staff attentive but not in ur face. I would definitely come here again :) Cheers guys 😁💜 Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Nice place for Coffee but very busy hence the service was a bit slow. Friendly staff

This is my second time, this time tried the vegetarian breakfast and they brought it vegan sausages that I couldn’t eat them, too artificial. You have improved the bread it’s sourdough and very tasty the same as the poached eggs 😃 The red peppers were from a tin, preferred fresh one as they are healthier. The bacon on the English breakfast was overdone we didn’t have time to be done again. The views from the place outside are lovely. Hopefully next time I can improve the review. The staff are friendly and it’s a nice place for children and dogs Good selection of delicious cakes, pancakes & coffees. Breakfast £13 each 😌

Breakfast with a beautiful view of Penryn harbour. Nice
