Newlyn Filmhouse in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great little picturehouse, showing a range of movies -we opted for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Seats were comfy and there is also a bar/restaurant attached which provides for a nice change from the larger chains.

Excellent food and wine with great service. Lovely atmosphere relaxed and easy. Nice small selection of wines. Nice environment

A delicious meal cooked fresh to our requirements, served by friendly and efficient staff. Two of wanted the pasta, but neither of us likes parmesan, and one does not eat garlic. So the chef cooked two separate pastas, and they were delicious.

This is a fabulous find in the heart of Cornwall at the Fishing Port of Newlyn by the Coombe, which is a quaint tree-lined steamlet by a Church. The first impression you get is that it is both advertised as a Filmhouse AND a Cinema...then, upon entering, there are some days you are greeted by very friendly and helpful staff, and other times by very unfriendly and unhelpful staff...it's a Russian Roulette! The tickets are overpriced, and if you are a member, you only get £1 off each cinema ticket, which is a negligible amount. The bar/ restaurant area is quite spacious and aesthetically pleasing; the drinks on offer are jolly good. Food-wise, you get some interesting items which are well-presented but under-portioned. And another caveat: no food in the screens, and they have no popcorn either. So even though it's a cinema, where you typically go to watch movies and eat popcorn, you can't bring anything into the screens except glasses full of wine, which, of course, pose zero risk of breakage! The screens themselves are very comfortable and satisfying for the most part. So, all told, the venue hosts huge promise, but the result is a sometimes soulless atmosphere and illogical and counter-intuitive management. What I'd recommend is to bring yourself and your friends and liven the place up with your own spark!

We noticed the One Love - Bob Marley film was showing here on 14th Feb, so two tickets were booked as was a dinner reservation. From the moment we walked in, a great greeting at the front desk, a warm reception at the first floor restaurant, Magda our waitress was friendly and amusing. Our unexpected St. Valentines meal came with couples quiz🥰 and the food was excellent, monkfish, duck, steak and sole were all tiptop! The film was pretty good too!

Fantastic cinema experience from start to finish. So easy to book tickets online and a table for dinner afterwards. The cinema itself is really lovely, with great picture and sound quality and thoroughly comfortable seats for our 2 hour film. So much space that we could get to our seats without the others in the row having to stand up to let us through! You can take your drinks from the bar through too which is a nice touch. The restaurant afterwards was perfect too. Brilliant food - best whitebait I’ve had in ages - and 3 steaks from local butchers, perfectly cooked medium-rare. Chef and waiting staff were really friendly and accommodating as I had to have one really plain steak/dish due to dietary limitations. So grateful for this sensitive handling as eating out can be hard right now for me. Thank you to our lovely waiter for arranging this. Would highly recommend to anyone - couples, families or even on your own.

Delicious food served by very friendly and professional staff in a beautiful setting with so much atmosphere. Then we saw a wonderful film. What a great evening, and thank you to all at the Newlyn Filmhouse.

So lucky to have found this local gem. Superb sound and visual quality to every screening we’ve been to. Great comfy, well maintained and clean seats. Easy on line booking system. Lovely friendly receptive and helpful staff. Fabulous restaurant and bar serving good quality reasonably priced food and drinks. Won’t be going any where else to watch a film now!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience watching Oppenheimer. The row E with the extra legroom was amazing. Super helpful front of house and lovely people (company on the row was amazing).

Great idea, awful reality. We came a couple of weeks ago to see a film and have dinner, film was fine, apart from the only food available to take into showing was a tiny £3 ice cream!! The restaurant was a mess, small young blonde woman who we assumed was the manager due to her bossing around the clearly unhappy staff, was passive aggressive and her unnecessarily stressed nature (the restaurant was dead) brought about an uncomfortable atmosphere in the whole restaurant. The waitress that served us was very friendly, the food was fine but over priced for what it was. It’s a shame but I would only recommend if you want to see a film.

Beautiful cinema showing a great selection of films and serving good food in a stunning location. Unfortunately our experience was marred by an exceptionally rude, unfriendly and unhelpful man front of house. We asked for information regarding London screenings of an independent film “The Spirit of Zennor” as it was sold out and were met with a very hostile and patronising response which was totally uncalled for. This wonderful little cinema won’t last long unfortunately if customers continue to be treated in this way!! The film is showing at Portobello Film Festival if you’re interested!!

A lovely experience, interesting building and decor. We felt welcomed by the staff who gave great service. The food was first class, pea soup, an unusual rarebit and super hot crunchy chips and a yummy different take on Apple crumble. Definitely will be back and even fancying going to a film.

A lovely little cinema in a converted salting house. The seats were really comfortable, with a two-seater sofa in each row. Sound quality was excellent, and the digital screen very clear. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the drinks were good. A very enjoyable visit.

Lovely building and interior, good selection of movies but the package is spoilt by ridiculously high prices for quite ordinary food. Drinks are far too highly priced too. Such a shame that an evening out to watch a film after a meal costs in excess of £80!

Absolutely love the Newlyn cinema. A beautiful building, fantastic Cafe/bar with a variety of tasty dishes, we always make an evening of it, having food and drink before a film. Friendly welcoming staff, the whole experience of going is a real joy.

A fabulous afternoon and evening was spent today at Newlyn Filmhouse. Lovely staff, mouthwatering food and a great film to follow. Comfortable seating and I absolutely love their "No Crunch Policy" meaning only drinks and ice cream purchased at the restaurant can be taken into the screening area.

Really cute cinema with great seating and facilities. Set in an old fish-smoking house (!) it has a cute bar and it's really worth going to see a movie here

Lovely little cinema, comfortable seating with plenty of leg room. Staff were very friendly and although we didn't eat, there is a restaurant upstairs which looked nice.

So disappointed. Looking forward to a lovely evening but the meal before the film was not good. My lamb kofta came out as chicken! Lady on next table said she'd heard me order lamb! I accepted the chicken as was told lamb would be a wait and husband's meal was already on the table. Chicken was chargrilled and barely warm, on a bed of Greek salad, swimming in acidic oil and lathered in yogurt. Why not serve dressings separately? Husband's steak ok but not great and he wasn't asked how he likes it cooked, but they did ask the man on next table! Lovely staff, very apologetic, but food was dreadful. Limited menu, probably due to cook's capabilities. Whitebait? Chickpea curry? Lots of bread with choices. Expensive for the quality. Shame. We've enjoyed meals previously and were so looking forward to a repeat. Never again.

This is a beautiful place. I was lucky to be seated in the small Japanese room with fairy lights. Service is excellent! The waiters were super friendly, recommended a superb Sauvignon Blank. The food, and this is constructive criticism, does not match the beautiful restaurant and in fact I m a little surprised to see a comment comparing the food to the next door fish cafe that is in did excellent. I ordered a cold meat mezze and I m afraid 2 slices of salami, 4 olives, couple of slices of prosciutto all out of a pack do not constitute for a small plate. Is not the advertised local produce. The sourdough bread was amazing though. I had the crab linguine and that was tasty and fresh, although not spicy enough and the sauce was very sweet, lacking seasoning. The crab was Newlyn crab and plentiful! I comment because I do feel this place was much better before the pandemic and I d love to return. I dont mind paying the top price for top food, generous sized and local! The cinema, screen 1, is superb! Cosy, fantastic chairs and a perfect match for the premier of Downton Abbey! I will 100% return to both cafe and cinema!

Not only did we see a great film, we also had a lovely meal served by friendly, professional people who made us feel so welcome. What a wonderful evening.

We had our first date at this restaurant. Been coming back since then. Don’t go to the neighbouring other restaurant by the bridge with the long queues, it’s overrated. This place has a beautiful ambiance, pleasant lighting, nice music and decor, interesting foods, attentive but...

We visited for an evening to eat in the restaurant and see a film. Food was delicious and servers were polite and attentive. Really enjoyed everything about the experience and will definitely be going back again

Really enjoyed the cinema experience (first time in a cinema in over two years!) although I missed seeing previews before the feature film. Cafe upstairs was informal and chill. Ordered coffee pre-film, then bought some wine to take in with us. One particular female server...

Came to see the new Bond film and was a little wary of not going to a major multiplex for such a high octane film (but there are none within 20 miles!) Pleasantly surprised with the small and intimate theatre but with good screen size...

Has just a limited menu with little variation and portions were small and of just average flavour and interest (but weren't cheap)

A very limited and uninspired menu was trumped by the total lack of welcome, interest from staff or service. This was no improvement on our experience two years ago. We will not be trying again.

Booked in for a Sunday evening dinner as the place looked cool and stood out among the traditional charm of Newlyn's pubs. It has a short bistro style menu filled with well executed tasty dishes, presented beautifully. The staff are relaxed and polite adding to...

This place is how all cinemas should be! A fantastic local indy filmhouse. We stayed in Newlyn for a few days and had dinner twice here. They have a small but varied menu a a a great chef! We had the bavette, mackerel spaghetti and...

First of all, the cinema gets five stars all the way. Amazing seats and screens, and friendly helpful staff. Easily one of the best film houses in the UK! The restaurant is however very average at the moment. A general lack of seasoning and flavour....

Really nice space and ambience but shocked to find that a pint of locally brewed beer was £5.90. That would stop me from returning again.

Was unsure if worth eating here as saw a few bad reviews but glad we went! Had a lovely crab linguine, after watching a film.

We’ve been to the cinema on numerous occasions but decided to dine before hand in the restaurant for the first time. The food was delicious, great local and seasonal produce and the staff were really friendly all while maintaining Covid measures. Can’t wait to return....

my wife and watched a film here, the cinema itself was very comfortable, and then had a meal afterwards. the food was excellent and service was friendly and fast.

I have eaten in all the Newlyn eateries this has the best value food, no queues and happy staff. We had the hummus, hake and crab arincini and the chicken plus wines affogato and coffees. The atmosphere is very like a French brasserie and you...

Called in here for dinner late on a Monday evening, towards the end of service. I had the lamb tagine whereas my partner had the cauliflower pakora burger. Quiet atmosphere with some good music, conducive to relaxing. Food fresh and tasty and about the right...

We had such a lovely, relaxed meal here which we really enjoyed. As pensioners, we felt very secure and will certainly return.

My friend and I went to see a film on Wednesday evening followed by a meal in the restaurant - I chose the goats cheese and falafel burger which was extremely tasty and my friend had the chowder - again a good choice. Followed by delicious puddings - Elton Mess and Sticky Toffee pudding - one of the nicest I have had .. I also chose a P AND T - which is white port and tonic - a new drink for me. So overall a very pleasant evening. Have been here several times and have always enjoyed. Also appreciate the NO RUSTLE rule in the screens.

Please do not visit this place! First of all, me and my friends had a terrible experience with customer service. I asked the person on the phone if there was space available to eat and I was left on hold and completely forgotten about. I had to say ‘hello, hello’ down the phone until somebody else picked up and said ‘Who are you? I don’t know what’s going on’. Even so we apprehensively decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt and go for dinner. The starters were ok. But the mains were disgusting. My friends had bland, tasteless ‘curry’. My other friend had a chowder which tasted like something from a microwave ready meal. I had a falafel burger which tasted crunchy, old and like it had been taken out of the bin. We made a complaint and asked for a discount and the staff were reluctant as they said we’d eaten the food ( even though A) the staff didn’t check on us once and B) the food was eaten as we were showing each other had bad the others tasted. The staff then took the price of our drinks away from the bill which quite frankly was not good enough. Plus we could hear the kitchen staff moaning about our complaints. The waiters were quite friendly and it wasn’t their fault but the whole ordeal was highly unprofessional. Do not waste your time here. Other places in Newlyn ie Mackerel sky or the bridge are much better.

As a party of four, we agreed that Newlyn Filmhouse was one of the worst restaurant experiences we've each personally encountered in quite a while. Attempting to book a table for dinner over the phone was dire, having been left hanging for five minutes whilst someone apparently went to check table availability, only to be picked up by another clueless member of staff, equally confused as us and gormlessly rude. The food followed suit; nothing more than low-tier microwave meals. We ate most of it out of politeness and hunger. I paid £14 for a puerile 'Boston Fish Chowder' wish was nothing more than a glorified dish of fish in butter sauce with a morsel of actual seafood; mostly boiled vegetables and potatoes. The accompanying 'toasted thins' were just soft, stale bits of bread. Bitterly disappointing, especially when Mackerel Sky, situated opposite, offers a five-star version of the dish for half the price. The incredibly dry 'Falafel & Goat's Cheese Burger' was equally awful and tasted discouragingly old. The composition of the burger stack was careless and the bun was sorrowful. The accompanying potato fries were white and slightly under-cooked. The disastrous 'Vegetable & Coconut Curry' was unbelievably bland, unseasoned and drowning in faint-tasting hot water. No staff came to check on us during the meal and we were too hungry to bother complaining and it was too late to sort anywhere else out. When our plates were collected, we explained how lamentable the food was and expected to be compensated in some way. Some chap came over and asked if we wanted free coffees as an apology which we declined and instead asked for a discounted bill. We were told the chef thought the food was fine and as we'd had most of it, were not entitled to any recompense. They eventually waived the cost of the drinks (roughly £10). It took the staff 30 minutes after collecting our plates to work out what to do and finally take the payment. We held nothing person with the staff who seemed lovely, but the whole ordeal was wholly unprofessional and overall an abysmal experience. 1 star rating is for the starters (whitebait, olives, bread) which were alright.

Incredibly disappointed with our food and the appalling service. We are a group of younger people who would usually never make a complaint out of sheer awkwardness but were unable to keep our mouths shut this time. My coconut curry was very watery with next to no flavour. We only ate our meals as we had nowhere else to go to eat. The staff took 30 minutes to finally get their act together and give us the bill, with a very generous £10 knocked off (sarcasm). Felt as though we couldn't get through to them about a further discount as they were avoiding speaking to us any further and ended up with a bill of over £70 to pay. Was a very embarrassing experience with the staff laughing at the situation behind the scenes. Very unprofessional.

Visited this venue when staying with friends recently. A small two screen cinema and joy of joys they are rustle free - only ice cream allowed. Comfy seats feels very cosy, The restaurant was buzzing after the film (we’d reserved a table in advance and pre selected our food over a drink before the film - ideal). Quite a small menu but something for everyone and the quality was good.

Newlyn film house is unique. It offers current films in a comfortable environment supported by welcoming staff. What better than to have a delicious meal to follow! A relatively small menu but full of interest, well presented and very tasty, also good value.Everyone would like a Newlyn in their town!

Very good food after the film. However, we did feel we were being rushed. Hardly put our knife & forks down before plates were whisked away! That said, the food is lovely so would go again.

A great place for a coffee and chat but the food is good too we particularly enjoyed the sweet potato curry. Been calling in regularly over the last year for a meal before a film. Always good and great service.

Didn’t go to cinema but stoped for a drink! Great choice of cakes, hot and cold drinks, local beers and spirits too!

Rainy monday evening in Cornwall, what a gem. Highly recommend this place, film was amazing, Joker BTW,( if he doesn't get an oscar for that performance its rigged), and the food afterwards delightful. Service was second to non and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming... all in all fantastic find.

At last, a Film House that caters for serious Cinema goers. Top rate choice of "Arthouse" viewing and live streamed events

I visited twice in September - both shows were excellent but the food and service leaves a lot to be desired. First time I plumped for the Thai fish cakes - very bland, salad was limp and fish cakes only just warm. Second time I tried the crab and pea risotto. The risotto was nice, very small portion but I think someone forgot to add the crab! This is a lovely place, perhaps a bit on the pretentious side, but there is absolutely no excuse for food (especially the fish) to lack taste in this day and age, especially in Newlyn which is, after all, a fishing village. The staff on both occasions seemed really unhappy to be working there. Shame, as the place has great potential to be something really quite special.

I’m so happy to be a local/member/groupie of this exquisite resource!I feel so proud to share it with friends and strangers alike - it’s a complete “feel-good” factor and that’s why I’m such a big supporter!Are there going to be any Winter Deals”? Perhaps a Cinema Meal Deal? Or any planned Film/Food-related events?Do you offer Private Bookings of a cinema/supper arrangement? (Food for thought!)Look forward to hearing from you, Helen Jay - a very happy member, just up the hill in Paul Village!

My friend suggested we visit for lunch and see the film. Although I am local, I've never been to this gem of a cinema with quality restaurant and was so delighted with the food and service, as well as the comfy cinema seats. A very well thought out, different menu from pizzas and burgers which other cinemas provide! This is quality food.Thai fishcakes were full of succulent prawns with a peanut salad on side. Very fresh and tasty. Poached pear with Baked Alaska and berries delicious. Friend had goat's cheese and figs and a vanilla cheesecake with raspberries. Lovely unflustered ambience. Will definitely bring my husband here for a meal, if not to include a film! Don't know why we've not been before!! Really enjoyed the afternoon.

What a super cinema and restaurant the staff and ambiance are superb will be going again and again, the table was organised for when the film finished, and everything tasted delicious

Lovely place Small but very comfortable seats Booking essential Good bar with food offered Worth a visit

Have had some really good meals here in the past, but gone downhill recently. Last night I had ‘Newlyn crab and pea risotto’, with no sight, smell or taste of any crab - didn’t even taste like ti might have been made with a crab stock; my husband was disappointed with his mackeral burger, which basically was a grilled mackeral tail in a bread bun, unappetising and not very filling. Portions are small, and fries, salad, veg etc are all extra but you do need them if you are going to be satisfied. On the plus side, they make the best expresso martini I have ever had.

Siamo arrivati a questo cafe’ interno al cinema di Newlyn quasi per caso. Ad una prima occhiata sembra di entrare nel bar del cinema, ma ben presto ci si accorge della cura nell’allestimento dell’ambiente, che prepara ad un pasto che può essere anche veloce, ma è sicuramente di grande qualità. Le proposte sono giustamente non moltissime, ingredienti e presentazione di qualità, prezzo adeguato. Buona selezione di vini italiani. Unico neo: la mancanza di birra alla spina, ma ben sopperita da un’adeguata selezione di birre locali. Dopo giorni di cucina tipica inglese, una serata in cui abbiamo assaporato dei piatti buoni, ma più simili alla cucina mediterranea. Se siete in zona, assolutamente da provare.

Stopped and watched a lunch time film here at midday. Viewing experience is very good with plenty of legroom and comfy seats.Had lunch afterwards in their spacious cafe area. Menu is fairly straightforward although the food does have a touch of class. Pork belly tacos were a very nice light bite as were the freshly prepared cakes. Price is also reasonable for food although drinks are at the slightly higher end but are probably what's expected for this type of venue.

Cinemas don't get any better than this. Is it a cinema with restaurant or restaurant with cinema?The conversion of this old stone warehouse is fabulous and I'm an architect. I keep coming back and will do so whenever I'm in Newlyn.The food is good with affordable local produce. Combine movie and meal for a great experience.

Wow what an experience! This building is filled with so much care and attention from the movies shown, the beautiful interior touches that pique your interest, to the food and drinks and the smart and funny staff who make the experience extra special. We ate here twice in one week for lunch and dinner and food and drinks both times were exceptionally good. So lovely to see in a world of chain generic multiplexes these days!

What a beautiful cinema! A delightful bar/restaurant where we were quickly served delicious food in the short window before our film began. The ambiance, the decor and the kind attentive staff made this experience into a really wonderful surprise.We enjoyed the film too!

Upstairs in converted fish warehouse - now an Art-house film venue. We enjoyed a light lunch of whitebait with some leaves (£7.50), followed by shared choc cake and 2 excellent pots of refreshing tea for a further £7.50 (ish). The use of good quality ingredients, and pleasant surroundings, makes this an ideal spot to meet a friend.Please do note that the is no parking immediately outside so arrive in good time.

We meet some friends at the resturant before the light meal and a drink - it was perfect. Nice to get to your final destination and just relax before watching a movie in a great cinema. Clean and Comfortable

We six locals, who all love this place, had a great night with the traditional haggis and plenty of neeps and tatties. Plenty of cooks, waiters and bar staff to look after us, while we feasted.

Found out about this cinema from a friend and so glad they told us. Love going to the cinema but hate the smell of food and noise that seems to be the norm. When we found out that this cinema has a strict policy on this we were delighted and we had a very pleasurable experience. Have now joined as members and will be back!

A good place to eat, even if you are not going to the movies. Cinema is comfy, great sound and picture. Staff are friendly.

Interesting, kind of rustic interior, including bar/restaurant. Food varies daily so a bit hit and miss though they do serve some interesting dishes and is clearly popular judging by the need to book usually. The filmhouse shows some great, up to date, films. Seating is comfy, warm and well laid out. Parking can be difficult, especially when the Meadery is open

We have been regular customers since the filmhouse opened. Love the cinema and the atmosphere in the restaurant...BUT.. although the portions have always been minimal (And I have a small appetite) our last visit was very disappointing. 4 of us enjoyed the film and then had starter sized main courses averaging £13 each. My monkfish scampi and salad was ok as a starter but the salad was a tiny garnish. The chicken burger was about a 1/3 of a chicken breast cooked to a crisp. We all came home to ransack the fridge. Please deliver on the appetising menu, offer better value and portion sizes and promote serving drinks without holding the top of the glass.

Watched “Bohemian Rhapsody” with my wife. Had a drink beforehand at the bar/bistro and then off to watch the film. An unusual, friendly and cosy place. You can even take your drink into the cinema! So different from the big, featureless cinemas and so much better.

Went to see Free Solo the Alex Honnold film. Fantastic venue in ehich to enjoy a good film. No food allowed so none of that annoying rustling of popcorn. Lovely staff, good range of drinks and great menus

The cinema is great, the staff always friendly and helpful. I haven't eaten in the restaurant yet but the food always looks delicious when I'm enjoying a drink before a film starts. The selection of films they show is superb, a good mix of blockbuster and independent films and am also looking forward to watching one of the theatre or opera performances they stream live. I feel very lucky to have this so nearby. Thank you!

On holiday visiting our son who booked tickets for Bohemian Rhapsody. Apart from it being a brilliant film we were very impressed with the cinema and set up. It has its own restaurant. They served cocktails at the bar and we were allowed to take our cocktails into the cinema. Really comfortable seats with lots of leg room. Lovely way to spend an evening. Pure luxury.

We went to the Newlyn Filmhouse on 8 November, as part of my birthday treats, and we watched the film "Bohemian Rhapsody", and what a fantastic evening we had. I had been a bit nervous, as I loved Queen, especially Freddie Mercury, and I could not believe an actor could do him, or them justice. How wrong I was. It was brilliant, and we came out with our feet tapping and humming the music. Then we had a delicious meal in the atmospheric restaurant. What a wonderful evening out, and thanks to Suzie, Alistair and their team for being so friendly when rushing about.

After a previous bad experience, decided to give the restaurant another try after seeing Bohemian Rhapsody. The cinema itself is really good and the reception staff helpful and friendly. However, the restaurant is dreadful. The waiting and bar staff do not greet you with a smile - in fact, they are quite surly. The food is less than average quality but this is not reflected in the price. Tough, dry burgers, curry and rice that seems to have come from a packet and microwaved. Slow indifferent, surly service. Will visit cinema again, but avoid the restaurant.

Am a regular visitor to this amazing local restaurant and it never fails to delight. Last Wednesday's special menu celebrating Mexico's Day of the Dead festival was no exception.Wonderful authentic food wash washed down rather nicely by authentic cocktails.....many with a tequila base obviously!There's always such a great atmosphere here too, and this was helped by the staff donning suitably macabre make up.....thank you all (again) for a superb evening!

Have visited Newlyn Filmhouse Restaurant on several occasions and enjoyed a nice meal before watching a film. However this time the meal was really disappointing. It was Day of the Dead Mexican Special menu for Halloween, the portions were far too small, the pork was very poor quality and I couldn’t even find the crab in my starter and at £9 this was certainly not good value for money. Sadly won’t be returning to eat anytime soon.

What a lovely change from The Odeon! Beautifully presented, comfortable. Two screens, restaurant with a great choice of seafood, bar. Monmouth coffee! All-in-all a lovely cinematic experience.

A perfect way to spend an evening. Film, drink in the comfy seats and then a truly divine meal in the chilled out restaurant. An absolute must if you are in the area.

We went on a wet afternoon to see the latest blockbuster with some apprehension as we've always liked the Savoy in Penzance but decided to give the Newlyn Filmhouse a try. Sorry Penzance, you need to up your game! The Filmhouse is in an old building that has been fabulously restored. There are two screens (we were in screen 1) and it was very steeply raked so no problems with seeing over others heads, and delightfully comfy seats. Even two seater sofas for the, er, young at heart! The sound quality was excellent, the screen large, we just loved it. The café on the first floor looks like it serves good food, and the coffee was delicious. Do note, you are not allowed to take in any food to the screenings at all - no popcorn even! Parking during the day is a slight problem if you want to eat and take in a film as the nearest car park only allows three hours maximum. For four hours stay, park at the back of the art gallery. The Newlyn Filmhouse is a tremendous asset for the area, loved it and will be back.

Ate here last night with a friend. We were very pleased with the whole experience. Food was delicious - we had a shared mezze plate, followed by Chinese Pork (me) and Fishcakes (her). My pork was one of the best meals I have had for ages, and my friend said her fish cakes and, especially, the salad that came with them, were exceptional. I do not eat wheat, and all the staff were helpful and obliging. As a local, I feel proud to have such a lovely place in Newlyn.

Taking new visitors to the Newlyn Filmhouse is always a great pleasure, as they love it so much. The cinema seats are comfortable, and you are allowed to take your wine in with you, but not rustling sweet or crisp packets, which is good. We loved the film, "Swimming with Men" - very funny, yet moving too. And the meals are always excellent, in such a welcoming environment. A very enjoyable evening for all ages.

We booked to see a film here and managed to also book a table in the restaurant before the movie.The food was wonderful, very tasty and very nicely done. We had the falafel burger and the newlyn crab, both of which were delicious. The staff were great and the restaurant itself is very nicely done out, making the whole dining experience one we would repeat any time we are back in the area.The cinema itself was clean, very comfy seats and a very pleasant experience. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend a visit to the restaurant, or the cinema, or both if you can. A lovely family evening.

It was very comfortable and cozy and was packed so definitely worth booking ahead. Cafe upstairs was lovely and served a lovely date slice.

Visited on a rainy bank holiday Sunday and it was great, as it always is. Loos spotless, cinema spotless, restaurant spotless. A lovely lad and Rebecca (I think!) served us (They were short staffed but we did not suffer) and our lunch after was spot on. Great whitebait, fabulous chicken gyros and scrumptious homemade cakes for pudding. I love this place and am reluctant to tell you about it, in case we can't get seats or a table in the future!

We would never have found this lovely restaurant if we hadn’t been with a friend who had visited before. Don’t imagine you can only go to the restaurant if you’re using the cinema - it’s an experience in its own right. The service is friendly, the menu interesting, generous portions and the food is delicious.

Recently visited the Newlyn Filmhouse to see the latest Mama Mia movie and it was fab. Had comfortable afternoon on a rainy day watching the movie and enjoyed a very nice cappuccino and cake afterwards. Would love to try an evening meal in the trendy restaurant, so cannot wait to come back

First visit to this really well organised but neatly laid back Place to eat. There were seven of us and some had starters and mains, others just starters and, yes, you've guessed, the rest just had mains. Lovely food, well cooked and nicely presented - just cooked 'for us'. Guys just had a couple of beers - good choice from a range of local craft breweries. The youngest member was well served with an adult portion. Service non-intrusive but efficient. All in all a good experience and we'll certainly return! Half of us then watched The Happy Prince in one of the amazingly comfortable small cinemas on site. Altogether a great evenin!

We had a very civilized and pleasant meal at the Newlyn before watching a late French film with our 9 year old.Easy to book, loved that it was private and that we endorsed a local business.Relaxed atmosphere and friendly.We all loved it and would most definitely revisit.Thank you.

A truly great restaurant - regardless of whether you are seeing a movie or not. Five of us had another delicious meal there on Bank Holiday Monday evening. There's a fair choice on the menu and it's all cooked and presented very well indeed. Coupled with great service - you can't go wrong.

My partner's brother and partner were visiting, and we all went for a meal at Newlyn Filmhouse and had such an enjoyable evening with delicious food and excellent service. The atmosphere is so good, and we all had a wonderful time.

We booked to see The Guernsey Lit Soc film and the chef had prepared a menu to match with bar staff dispensing a wonderful gin cocktail to start. Unbelievable delicious spam fritters, great fish dish and a filling "padded pudding" all served by waiting staff in costume. A display of rationed foods and music from the wartime era all made for a great ambiance.

Our own version of 'Curzon' with a fantastic bistro to enjoy before or after a film. Great ambience and staff

A fantastic venue to see a film and great that food is not permitted in the cinemas, so no annoying rustling .We also had a wonderful meal afterwards in the restaurant,fortunately we had booked the last table as it was very busy on Easter Monday. There are menu choices to serve a wide range of tastes,the food presentation was excellent and we were served by extremely courteous and attentive staff.Wish there were more places like this!

We have been a number of times to the Newlyn Filmhouse, it has two mini cinemas, each of which has a wheelchair space, two at a push. Advisable to book if you want a wheelchair space. Really nice people who run it and those who work there. They have some interesting films not all of which are mainstream. A great place to see a film and go for a drink/meal before or after.Truly accessible with a lift to the 1st floor. Thoroughly recommended.

Staff are friendly and the food is local and fresh. Would recommend booking so no wait but either way you are ensured of a great welcome and good honest food. A good menu with lots of choice. Recommended if you want something different but satisfying too!

Was really looking forward to going to this cinema for two reasons... one the film that I'd been waiting to see for some time and two I'd heard good things about this fairly newly opened "lovely place'. Hmmmm!! it my well look lovely, serve nice food have nice drinks etc etc blar blar which is great if you're going to a restaurant....I wasn't!! weirdly I was going to watch a film, one incidentally that Id been really excited about for some time, simple right? wrong!! unless that is you have incredibly short eye sight! I had the incredible misfortune to be sitting in the front row which unless you watch films in braille is a complete and utter wast of time!! basically watching a movie at this place is the equivalent to kicking yourself in the ear for an hour and a half!! worse over and heaven forbid you make a complaint! no sorry's here friends! just treated with no apology futile excuses and general rudeness! Film review...... A very poor show!!!!!https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g1604568-d10116208-r560511618-Newlyn_Filmhouse-Newlyn_Penzance_Cornwall_England.html#

Went for my birthday meal, had a couple of lovely meals there previously so thought it was a safe option however this time the food was terrible. We both had steak for main which we asked for medium-rare and they were the most overdone bits of chewy meat I’ve ever had. The chips that came with it were almost raw. The older female waitress was extremely rude, and actually snarled at us from across the room when we said we’d like to have our mains slightly delayed. Luckily myself and my husband were in good spirits and didn’t let the terrible food and service affect our evening. There were two very lovely waiters who also served us and made me a delicious cocktail so all was not bad. The cinema and film were fantastic as usual, just a shame that one waitress was so rude and the food was of poor quality this time.

Wow! What a fantastic evening, watching Puccini's best opera, sat in comfortable seats in this wonderful Filmhouse in Newlyn. Not only did I experience the best of live opera, I could walk from home, have a delicious meal in the restaurant, and even take my wine into the performance too. The highlight for me was when Joseph Calleja (the Maltese tenor) sang "The stars were shining brightly" in the final act. I was in tears, it was so moving. Fantastic singing from the other 2 leads too, Adrianne Pieczonka and Gerland Finley. Pure Magic, and much cheaper than tickets at ROH.

An amazing venue with 2 small screen areas, comfortable seating and sound system. Lunch was tasty and Monmouth coffee delicious. A delightful afternoon. Will be back.

First time at the Filmhouse & just booked a show for my parents as we enjoyed it so much. Cosy well laid out cinema which added to the atmosphere of the film "The Darkest Hour": excellent!Our only disappointment was the food that we had: crispy squid starter and duck main: both really over cooked and average for the price.We will most definitely be back again as loved the set up but not to dine.

Simples.. Booked a table in the restaurant an hour before the film and seats over the phone. Turned up had a lovely meal in a great atmosphere with drinks that can be taken into the cinema. Friendly helpful staff. Just a great relaxing evening. Thanks...

Went last night to the Filmhouse, enjoyed a great film in the most comfortable cinema I know and then was treated to a lovely meal in the gorgeous restaurant. We could have 2 different vegan dishes almost straight off the menu, almost unheard of in a non veggie place, well cooked food, beautifully presented and served by attentive efficient staff too.
