Ned and fins in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great little place in centre of Hugh Town. We didn't eat at the cafe but bought takeaway salads or sandwiches or ice cream. Children loved going. Shop is always busy. Staff helpful and friendly.

This cafe participated in the Taste of Scilly Festival, serving a divine lobster dinner. It included three yummy pates (crab, mackerel, and salmon) as a starter, an unbelievably tasty lobster with sides, and mouthwatering desserts. As we live in New England, we are used to fresh lobster, but this was by far the best we’ve ever eaten. We love great food and eat out quite a bit. This ranked as one of our best meals ever, which says a lot! It even beat out Jose Andres, which is hard to do! Plus, we pride ourselves in trying to find the best restaurants when we travel, which aren’t necessarily the ones hyped up in travel books. We hit a home run with this one. Being foodies, we love watching Master Chef. They talk about the importance of cooking with love. It was so evident that the chef does indeed do this. Unfortunately you won’t get to be treated with the lobster dish we had, as it was only offered through the festival, and they usually are open just for breakfast and lunch. We did stop by for a cheese scone which did not disappoint. The other items on their menu looked fantastic as well. Given the perfect service, friendly atmosphere and delicious food, please do yourselves a favor and go there!

This is a small independent cafe tucked behind the Parade Park garden. We went there three times in our week in Scilly (!) for lunch, breakfast and coffee/cake. It’s very small inside, but we were lucky with the weather so sat outside. Great full English breakfasts, freshly cooked waffles, the sharing fish board and cheese board are excellent, home-cooked quiche, and friendly service. There’s also a small shelf of wood-turned products to buy.

Best coffee on the island and possibly the friendliest staff, even at the end of August! Planning to return for breakfast tomorrow.

This site only lets me select one meal, but in fact we liked this lovely cafe so much we went three times during our week's stay on St Mary's - once for breakfast, once for coffee and once for lunch. All were absolutely excellent - food was clearly freshly prepared, scones were obviously home-made, service was really friendly, and prices were very reasonable (especially by comparison with other places on St Mary's). We would strongly recommend anyone visiting Scilly not to miss this gem.

Discovering Ned and Fin's was a highlight of our holiday. Really delicious food, including GF, and the friendliest of people. Beatrix will be back for more waffles next year for sure 😉. I dont usually leave online reviews, but in this instance felt I had to. Thank you!

We can highly recommend this little eatery! It serves fantastic cakes and lunches - only reason we didn’t try breakfast was because we had that provided at our B&B. The food is produced on site, and really delicious. Takeaway options also available. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We witnessed them trying to do their utmost to accommodate tricky dietary needs for one customer.

Stopped here for coffee and lunch, have to be honest we weren't having the best day! The owner went above and beyond to help us out and absolutely made our day. She was just so warm and kind and we loved our lunch and delicious coffee. Thank you so much!

Had an ice cream at the start of my day trip to St Mary’s but saw the sign advertising local lobster so came back for lunch! What can I say? The best lobster I’ve ever had and the salads were excellent too. And not a bad price either. Staff were warm and friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Unfortunately for us, we only found Ned & Fins on the afternoon of our last day on the islands. Our loss! As soon as we walked in, we knew that the food here would be great. It was light, well set out with great displays of food. To the kids delight, there was also a 'Mr Whippy' ice cream dispenser and jars and jars of toppings and sauces! The kids both had ice creams with toppings and my wife and I had cake and lattes. I started chatting to the owner and her Mum who told me that the cakes, quiches and salads were all home made and fresh. They were delicious! As we stood there, another customer came back for another home made amoretti biscuit and a Easter egg shake. We talked about our frustration with the lack of 'good' food on the island, considering how much it costs to go/stay there. She explained that her and her family had moved 2/3 years ago with her parents to start a new/different life. It was great to see that having 'fresh blood' and new families on the islands was bringing 'new' ideas and helping to lift the standard of food above the very average fayre we'd eaten. It was great meeting you. We will definitely be back at some point but this time we will be eating with you from the start of our holiday rather than the end! Good luck with your business and fingers crossed that you have a successful summer!

Oh my days! What an amazing place. Number 1, the family running the place and Sarah in the kitchen could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Immediately made to feel like local regulars. Love everyone there. As for the food 👌 wow. The best breakfast I've ever had in a cafe! I had 'the works' which was delicious. Could not recommend highly enough

Always a lovely, friendly welcome here- especially when it’s pouring with rain!! Great selection of cakes & savouries and good coffee. Would thoroughly recommend!

Visited twice during our stay, lovely home cooked food and great drinks, the quiche and salads were delicious, just be aware that they are popular and run out. Definitely worth a visit. Indoor and outdoor seating. Located opposite the park in hugh town.
