Port O'Call in Plymouth

Amazing veggie breakfast was served really quick and piping hot loved the bubble and squeak will definitely be back when I visit Plymouth again

This is single handedly the best breakfast in Plymouth. They have all the ratios spot on, always a great portion! The staff are lovely and always welcoming, really makes the place feel warm. I have brought many friends here who have enjoyed it as well, and now they have become regulars too!

Possibly the best cooked breakfast I’ve had. We chose the steak cooked breakfast & it was very tasty & good value. Place was packed too so obviously popular. Loos were spotless too.

First time visiting today, and safe to say we won't be back. The food wasn't fresh, it felt like it had been warmed up. The bacon was so overdone it was like concrete. Very compact inside. To make matters worse, there was someone on her phone at the top of her voice, swearing and staff didn't say anything until another customer said something.

We had the fish special and a beef/potato fish. Three food was tasty at a decent price. The ambience is definitely a casual neighborhood joint.

Port of call, don't even bother to open on Saturday at all, if you close at 2 pm. What is the point! I tried to go twice to have lunch with my children.

Never had a bad experience here, honestly got to be the best most reasonably priced roast dinner. and offering them in two sizes is good too, less waste. Also do scrumptious breakfasts..

Lovely little place, I felt like I was sat in someone’s family kitchen. Staff were lovely, attentive and polite and the food was lovely. I recommend the roast dinner on a Sunday

Not been in for a long time since leaving plymouth. Good staff and an amazing breakfast. One of the things I miss about plymouth

Had some wonderful lunch at a very good price, friendly staff and a quick service! Was quite as it wasn't really a meal time but that didn't matter.

We've been coming to this honest, family-run business for over a decade. The consistency, value for money and friendly staff, preparing home-cooked meals are hard to beat anywhere. Superb.

Found this restaurant when walking the dog and noticed its always busy from breakfast onwards. On visiting it for Sunday roast I can see why, good honest home cooked food at very competitive prices. Two sizes of roast and usually at least 3 choices of meat and a pie of the day. Their steak and kidney pie with all the roast trimmings is particularly good. This is has now become our go to roast.

Lovely old fashioned cafe feel with substantial food served. Long standing good reputation with locals and visitors alike. Family business with lovely caring staff. Reasonable prices for a variety of sit-in or takeaway meals. Kitchen on view. Clean toilets. Covid adherent. Recomended

A very varied choice of dishes from burgers to roast lunches. The small roast lunch was very tasty, hot and filling. All day breakfast could be requested.

Just driven past hungry and thought we would get a couple of bacon baguettes to takeaway and have to say that the young girl and lady who where out the front serving where the nicest, friendly ladies. I have never been in before but the phone was constantly going for orders and no wonder, food was lovely but made nicer by the ladies who worked there x

We spent a lovely day walking the pavements overlooking the Plymouth Sound. None of the eateries were particularly appealed, and that's when I remembered this wonderful little cafe I had been to some years ago. Just 5 mins from the Hoe, although it was dark from the outside, the staff were very accommodating and pleasant, and they did takeaway which was music to our hungry ears. I ordered the steak and kidney pie, and my partner had the gammon roast. We found a sunny spot overlooking the water, and had a brilliant lunch. The steak and kidney pie was delicious, tender and meaty, and the trimmings incredibly substantial. The gammon was hearty and well-needed after our long walk. Thank you Port O Call!

Had a chicken roast and a nut roast today so good ,vegetables well cooked and lots of variety. My nut roast was very taste.Staff are lovely.

Staff very helpful, had to wait for table. Once seated coffee arrived within minutes. Ordered nut roast with all the trimmings, this was served on a heated plate and was thoroughly delicious. Followed by rhubarb and custard. A proper sunday roast! Tables constantly in use, but a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Well done!

doesnt matter what we choose from menu its always fresh well cooked and nice portions staff our lovely would have given excellent but not keen on dogs being in there guide dogs of course an exception im a dog lover but dont find this acceptable sorry

After walking around the Hoe my wife and I stopped here for breakfast although only a smallish cafe both my wife and I pleasantly surprised with the choice and quality of the breakfast my wife had the veggi and I had the ordinary with a cup of tea all piping hot and expertly cooked could not fault it and excellent value for money .The best meal I had in Plymouth all weekend .(some I had paid six times the price).

I and my colleague go here every Friday for lunch as we work just across the road. Food is always excellent - good, old fashioned, home-cooked style food always of the highest standard. They have a wide ranging menu from the full English breakfast, burgers, scampi, Kiev etc to traditional roasts, lasagne etc plus home made cakes, cheesecakes etc. They are not licensed but you can bring your own wine/beer in the evening. I particularly like their fresh fish on a Friday and they do an excellent fishpie too.

lugar favorito para comer buena comida casera. Queso de coliflor de cordero asado, sueco fabuloso, asados para morirse. Comimos a las 3 de la tarde. No embalado pero constante flujo de clientes. Nuevo personal, muy servicial y eficiente señorita. Cynthia, la dueña, tiene un gran corazón por las personas sin hogar, especialmente en Navidad y la amamos a ella y a su fabulosa cafetería.

This is the place to go for a quality breakfast... was very busy when we arrived so had to Wait for a table but was well worth it... totally recommend this little cafe.

No estoy seguro de por qué abre más temprano un jueves que otros días. Estaba oscuro y frío afuera, el café estaba iluminado y casi lleno. Mezcla de folk. Posiblemente algunos lugareños, otros listos para trabajar y un equipo del gran desarrollo de pisos junto al muelle al otro lado de la carretera. Un poco anticuado, cortés, limpio y acogedor con un desayuno inglés, una cuchara grasienta, platos grandes. Justo lo que recetó el doctor.

Went in for bogof breakie on Thurs- dark haired woman serving had no idea what she was doing on til-seemed too much trouble. Took ages + coffee she made was worse than something made off site! Get NEW STAFF-THEY HAVENT A CLUE. Used to be lovely woman serving,shame! Food was usial good standard so no complaint there even if it takes ages with wrong orders given.

When an independent family run business has the ability to match big business in offering a 241 deal you tend to think what's the catch?The catch is they'll be busy than normal, but at under £3 for a fried breakfast you can't complain!Just don't forget to bring a buddy.

Mi primera comida en The Port O 'Call en Plymouth Hoe durante algunos años: pastel de pastores tan bueno como cualquiera que haya comido, en cualquier lugar. Muy caliente, deliciosas verduras, servido con una sonrisa.Y un valor increíble.Mi café también fue excelente.Port O'Call es un café inglés tradicional, independiente, muy asequible y familiar. Decoración marítima, discreta, sin lujos pero con un extenso menú de excelente relación calidad-precio y un ambiente genuinamente amigable y relajado.Hay estacionamiento de pago en carretera, acceso nivelado y está a 10 minutos a pie del puerto de ferris.¡Quiéralo!

Bueno, he estado yendo aquí durante años y es triste decir que después de la experiencia de hoy no volveré. El servicio al cliente de la recepción fue muy grosero, cuando salió el pedido, estaba mal cuando dijimos algo que ella hizo que fuera nuestra culpa, una cosa que puedo decir es que la comida siempre es buena.

popped in today for all day breakfast with the missus.went for the bigger option of 2 of everything which was more than enough.prices includes tea or a coffee which for the money is great

The tastiest and best value breakfast out I’ve had for a long time. Standard breakfast = very generous plate including mug of tea or coffee for £4. Free parking in the street outside. I’ll be back!

They do a really great home cooked roast at s brilliant price, love this place for roast haven’t tried anything else apart from the steak pie which was equally as good

Always good value, helpful finding you a seat even when very busy, Gets frequented by workers so proves it's a good place to eat. Love the breakfast and roast.

Great food, great prices lovely owners! It’s a must Incredible lasagne Can’t wait to come back to eat the cheesecake looks incredible

Decided to pop in here after an evening stroll on the barbican. It's location is great and parking seemed available from almost right outside. The meals were all priced extremely well which at first made us sceptical. I ordered the all day brekfast and my wife a chicken burger and to our surpise both were cooked brilliantly. The decor is cosy and the staff friendly. Will make this place a regular pit stop when in the area.

3rd visit to port of call for a breakfast. Its buy one get one free on a Thursday, bargain! £5 for 2 English breakfasts, a coffee and orange juice! Tasty breakfast. However during our visit (2 people) it was fairly busy and only tables of 4 - the whole establishment only has tables for 4 people. Whilst my friend was ordering food at the counter; an older "lady" asked me if there was anyone sat with me so I said yes. Her group of 4 then sat at the table next to me. She then asked again if anyone was sitting at the table with me so I said yes again. They were actually a group of 5 and their 5th person was sat somewhere else in the cafe, why they didnt just split their group of 5 up into 2 smaller groups is beyond me, then again these were Jeremy Kyle types. My friend returned and throughout our breakfast all I could hear was the silly woman repeating her disgust at how I wouldn't let their 5th friend sit at my table - hello, she didnt ask! Plus why would I want some random person sitting with me and my friend when we are eating. Made for a very uncomfortable breakfast. As soon as we finished eating I got up and left. Even though the breakfast is cheap and tasty; I wont return due to the clientele. I may or may not have muttered "cupid stunts" at them.

Al ser un constructor, un buen desayuno es un deber. Esta pequeña joya tiene una increíble relación calidad-precio, con un desayuno perfectamente preparado que consiste en un huevo, tocino, salchichas, frijoles, tostadas, papas fritas y una deliciosa taza de café, todo por un excelente precio de 4. 00. Las cosas se ponen aún mejor en un jueves cuando los desayunos se compran uno, se obtiene uno gratis, (x 2 por 4. 00). Mis compañeros de trabajo y yo siempre llegamos bien y temprano a las 08:00 horas, así que nunca tengo problemas para encontrar un asiento, pero a veces más tarde en el día puedo imaginar que se llena mucho. Bien hecho a todo el personal que es agradable en todo momento, pero sobre todo, muchas gracias a quienquiera que prepare un delicioso desayuno. ! ! !

Nos topamos con esta gema oculta por accidente y ahora nos han echado a perder para ir a otro lugar a desayunar. Si le gustan los huevos recién hechos a la perfección, el tocino, las salchichas, los frijoles / tomates, los champiñones frescos y hermosos, las tostadas con mantequilla y una taza de magnífico café para obtener un valor ridículamente bueno 4, no se arrepentirá. Si tienes mucha suerte, puedes aparcar gratis afuera. El servicio fue maravilloso. Ya sabes cuando vamos a volver! Gracias Port O Call.

Usamos su cafetería para el desayuno después de que salimos del ferry de Roscoff. Mucho mejor que cualquier desayuno a bordo. Se abre a las 7. 30 am Encantadora comida recién preparada por una mujer amable y trabajadora. Conveniente para el ferry, pero en una calle tranquila y no lejos de la azada. También hay un extenso menú de almuerzo y creo que hacen la cena. Todo excelente valor. Definitivamente regresaremos.

Really good wholesome home cooked breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere and reasonably priced, What more could you ask for. Followed up by a stroll around the Hoe seafront !

been twice now for a sunday roast tasty loads to eat and pleasant staff and reasonably priced what more can i say except see you soon

As the title says, I was pleasantly surprised by Port O’call. Advertised as a cafe, it’s opens until 8pm most days. Decided to have the mega grill which was a little smaller than I was expecting, straight up till the point a separate bowl of chips came out. It did take some time for the meals to come out but not an unacceptable amount of time. The food was cooked perfectly and had plenty of flavour. Must say, the chips was absolutely fantastic, some of the best I’ve had in a very long time.

Myself and work colleagues decided to treat our selves to a cheeky breakfast before work , it was early morning so we were able park right out side , the lady working was polite and friendly . The food was excellent size portions and tasted perfect. Excellent value for money and what was a one off visit is now turning in to a weekly event. Thank you to the staff of the port o call

This is the original place to go for an all day breakfast as well as a variety of other delicious meals. I've been going there for around thirty years. Staff are welcoming and food is delicious! A good all rounder!

Large portion of hot, tasty food, quickly served at a busy time. Great value for money, can't knock it!

From the outside this doesn't look much. A roadside cafe.

We really appreciate the fantastic service and food here. The best Sunday roast dinner in Plymouth! The staff are brilliant. Great value for money. I look forward to my next Sunday roast.

Went here by chance . Amazing friendly atmosphere next time in Plymouth heading back here Sunday lunch was awesome. We opted for the 3 courses and was that full I had to take my pudding away with me. A word of warning the Sundays lunches are massive and delicious. 5 stars all around. With love from us lads from Lincoln City

This place is value for money. It's cheap cheap cheap! Not only that but the food is tasty and filling. The staff were friendly and chatty, decor cosy and I'll be visiting again for sure. Many thanks Port o call.

Come to the Port O'Call for The BEST breakfast in Plymouth. I cannot praise this place enough; in fact, I want to live there...

Come here all the time for a breakfast probably one of the best in Plymouth, love a Thursday buy one get one free.

Having visited the café for the first time on Monday I had a pleasant surprise. The safe made you feel welcome and got a table right away .

Juste parfait et pas cher pour commencer la journée. 4 livres thé ou café beans saucisse bacon et œuf sur le plat

We visit often especially on Sundays. The Sunday lunch is the best (Even three courses for under £15!) Cooked beautifully and piping hot. I am veggie so just have all the trimmings but always enough. Exceptional value for money and just lovely home cooking and service friendly. Always busy. This is a no-nonsense café, very clean. Love the placemats with old Plymouth scenes on, not seen them anywhere else. This is not a posh restaurant but we always enjoy coming here and will keep coming back at this high standard of food, cleanliness and service.

If you’re looking for free range, organic, posh dining this isn’t the place for you but if you want well cooked, hot, tasty food pay a visit. This small cafe is always busy with both locals and visitors. We had a full English breakfast, 1 each of bacon, egg, sausage, hash brown, with a good portion of mushrooms, baked beans, a round of buttered toast AND a cup of tea or coffee for £4 and it was lovely and filling. The large was only about £6.50 I believe and looked to be big.

A fairly basic café, rather than a restaurant, but it offers good honest food at very reasonable prices .... = good value for money. Full English breakfast was only £4. Steady stream of customers while we were there.

Went today found the way a customer was spoken to and treated very unfairly and rude in front of a full cafe because they couldn't find a room key he had paid for was asked to leave we won't be going back there very poor service

Four of us popped in here for breakfast on Sunday morning Full English and tea all round and change from £20. Good tasty breakfast quick service and nice surrounding We will be back

We went in for breakfast after reading their TripAdvisor review and weren't disappointed. Excellent full English for £4,excellent, friendly service, what's not to like!!

Used to go to the Port of Call regularly until my job took me away from Plymouth and I forgot...

Good basic food,good choice on the menu with special of the day,The service was good and the owner attentive.

Tenía un muy buen desayuno con mi personal mujer amable y servicial que si quieres un buen desayuno

Los buenos precios de la buena comida. Los servidores no parecen ser molestado. Hemos estado sentado aquí durante 20 minutos con los platos vacíos mientras el personal de cinco tomaban y conversamos.

Muy buena comida y servicio amable excelente. Nos tomamos un desayuno completo inglés y fue el mejor y más amable mañana tuvimos en Plymouth. Os recomiendo hacer una parada para desayunar. Los jueves tienen un dos por uno, así que la relación calidad-precio es increíble....

La comida era fantástica y excelente cantidad. Gracias a Dios por que no es nadar en grasa. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

we have used this café now for a while and I an say the people are friendly, the food is good and great choice, price is very reasonable, I would recommend everybody try here.

Been using this place for 20 years and would recommend it to anyone highly, great value for money and good delicious food. It may not be posh and fancy but it's certainly friendly and welcoming, where else will you get a full English breakfast with tea/coffee for £4?! You can also get a vast array of other meals including a great roast and not just on a Sunday!

had a breakfast there for the last 3 weeks for 2 weeks it was ok the last week i had my breakfast it was not very hot so just ate it but when was about to go i did say about it all i got was not a sorry give it a miss will not got back for a good breakfast try plymouth market up stair look for r and c cafe

Stumbled across this place on Sunday, when on the way to the 'spoons. It does a great value Sunday Roast dinner, I will definitely be making another visit.Excellent!

I was lucky enough to be staying very near to The Port-O-Call one evening in March. I knew of the West Hoe pub next door from a previous stay so I went and as it was Monday I was told they don't do food. I asked where can I eat and they recommended The Port-O-Call next door so I went expecting a greasy spoon and was pleasantly surprised to find a lovely clean and respectable small restaurant. The menu was temping but the specials on the board took my fancy more. There was a choice of small or large meals so I chose a small chilli con carne with a coca cola. I'm glad I ordered a small portion because when it arrived it would be called large anywhere else and it was tasty and exactly what I would expect from a chilli. I saw another customer sit and when his order of bass with new potatoes and beans arrived I thought I should have ordered that. I will next time I visit. Once I was done I went next door for a perfect pint of real ale to finish a lovely evening off. Well done Plymouth for having a fine restaurant that thinks it's a cafe.

Had a breakfast there a week or so ago with some colleagues. Excellent service and great breakfast! Would highly recommend!

I have been eating here for 16 years plus -and I trained as a chef , everything is homemade best roast dinner in plymouth all fresh veg gravy with meat juices , and all lovely homemade puddings , always a fantastic atmosphere , please ignore a review written in march 2016 as it's never filthy or miserable , owned by the same people for 30 plus years a warm welcome is for all makes you feelTotally at home , I would be lost without it just read the review from March 2016 and was horrified as I have never had that experience , in the photos you will see a photo of Sunday lunch !

Small venue, but big portions and good value for money, and a good selection from the humble sarnie to a full blown roast what more could a hungry person asked for! friendly staff with a smiley welcome. Thanks

Best mousakka ever tasted lovely staff ... always friendly .. cheap and cheerful ..oh and great pecan pie x

We always come here for our breakfast when we visit Plymouth. No fuss, mug of tea but a great breakfast.

Went to the Port 'Call on the recommendation of my sister who went last week with her friend. Today was my birthday and I wanted a meal that wasn't mass produced or in a cafe/restaurant where the emphasis is on the decor and not the food. I can not express enough how pleased I was with my meal, the roast beef was excellent, melt in the mouth, vegetables cooked to perfection, roast potatoes done just right along with home made yorkshire pudding and proper hot thick gravy. Mug of tea - made just right. The toilets are clean. We lingered after our meal as the atmosphere was warm and relaxed, had another drink and when the chef (not sure if he is the owner) knew it was my birthday, he brought over the largest slice of homemade victoria sandwich with clotted cream to the table, Certainly can not fault the customer service. Will definitely be going back and also recommending to friends and family.

Always use Port o Call , while waiting to load on Brittany Ferry. Found it to be an excellent meal , at very reasonable prices. with a good mug of tea. And very friendly. Thank you & will continue to use when passing through Plymouth

A small,friendly & well run cafe appealing to anyone who wants good,home cooked food at a great value price!Four of us enjoyed a small turkey dinner(ample portion) & a hot drink for £5 each.Th puddings are delicious & complete the meal very well.If you want down to earth,home cooked food at a realistic price,this is a must visit venue.

We have just visited this Cafe for an evening meal! The food is freshly cooked and fantastic value!! Will certainly be returning soon!!!

No frills café. But nice home cooked food . Sunday roast superb . Nice menu something for every taste. 3 course Sunday lunch all under ten pounds. Summer pudding best I ever had . I also take away a slice of their homemade coffee cake when they have it . Always a cake available. We walk from Sutton Harbour to eat here when In Plymouth. ! Lovely food and lots of veg with your roast. Also you can have a smaller roast for £4.

Where else can you get,without doubt, the tastiest,and largest roast dinner at such value and at any time of the day too? (extra large for only a fiver) I went in there and had roast beef yesterday and had a roast lamb on Thursday last week. Both times it scored a 10 from me and I can be a bit fussy on roasts. If you pay the extra pound,for your £5 you get loads of meat,giant yorkies,freshly cooked veggies and kind of gravy only bettered by your late mother. I came home stuffed on both occasions and only had a poached egg on toast in the evening as I was still full. Okay,it may not look like the ritz but it's clean enough and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I don't go for food to pick at the decor,I go for the food and yes,I WILL be returning. Fantastic food,fantastic value if you love a roast. Oh the breakfasts are not bad either for that matter!

This is a lovely little warm favourite from years ago. The breakfasts are really, really good with big portions, and the people there are very friendly. I've only ever had a breakfast and a steak here, but both were fantastic and I would highly recommend a visit on a wet morning for a 'greasy spoon'

Lovely friendly family run cafe, nice food, can't be beaten on value for money! Local to me, staff polite, friendly and very accommodating. A very popular place.

I wanted to eat a meal before boarding the ferry to Roscoff, and found the Port o Call. I opted for the Carvery and it was fantastic value for money. Roast pork, fresh cooked veg and lovely gravy. Would deffo go again.

Went once, very basic, not terribly good quality food, would not repeat experience, rather tatty interior.

We needed breakfast after leaving the ferry and found this little cafe. The toilets were spotless (which is usually a good sign!). We had breakfasts all round with mugs of tea - very welcome. The quality was probably average but what's wrong with that?! Just what we needed, close to the port and free parking outside.

Don't know many places where you can eat a 3 course meal so reasonably. We very often pop into here for a Sunday roast and although you can't book we somehow manage to get a table for 4. The menu has a lot of choice and also a favorite place for a good hearty breakfast.

Excellent food and great service.The variety of food every day was outstanding.We dined there every day for either breakfast or dinner,Nothing was to much trouble the staff were brilliant.The price was excellent great value for money.

Went here with a couple of friends on Sunday for a roast dinner each. We could not fault the food when it arrived, it was really good and large portions too. The roast dinners here are only £5.00 each, great value for money. Its a nice clean restaurant with a good atmosphere. We will be going back.

This is a little gem of a café and very reasonably priced as a guest house too. I've not used the guest house but I'm told it is cheap and cheerful. The meals are spot on, great value and it's worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood.

Love this little place can't be beaten on value. Taste and flavours of good wholesome home cooking. Never ever been disappointed. When visiting Plymouth it's a must 100% and not just for couples.

I would have walked right past this place had it not been recommended to me. Proper local greasy spoon cafe with a lovely welcome, great food, big portions and a low price! Lovely little cafe, would return

Had a hard night out in Plymouth and needed some sustenance. The Port O'Call hit the spot perfectly. Lovely full cooked brekky, just what the doctor order. Yum !

This is a no-frills working person's restaurant. The ambience is average but the value for money, portions and quality of cooking is high. Don't go here for haute cuisine but do here for excellent basic food. A three course meal is £7.50 and for that you get soup or pate etc, lamb, chicken stew or curry and for dessert a sponge or cake with cream and / or custard to give a rough flavour of what's on offer. I like restaurants like this when you're hungry as you just need decent food.

Molto bello e caratteristico il quartiere circostante merita 3 ore per visitarlo per bene. Il cibo buono per essere inglese e personale cordiale ci tornerò

Having booked in advanced, we proceeded to walk more than two more with our dog. Realising we were going to be 5 minutes late, we picked ahead, all was well. We arrived and our table was still occupied, with the patron soon too leave. We stated we would walk our dog around whilst they clear the table, they agreed. We came back less than 5 minutes later too find more people on our table and was told it was our fault for not sitting with their previous guest. We left with barely an apology and no meal. Food is good, service is less than poor by our experience.

Apart from my partner picking a hair out of his beans, it was a big breakfast for only 4 quid including a coffee. Nice greasy spoon, but a bit rough..

Best value for money in southwest..really lovely roast and different choice each day..excellent friendly staff..

Although dated and tired on the inside, it has character, friendly staff and great value breakfasts. Haven't tried the lunches. Not great for larger groups. There is parking outside of you're lucky to get an hour spot.

We came here one Saturday for a well recommended breakfast which we were looking forward to. On entering the cafe we sat on an empty table and proceeded to be ignored by both waitresses for 10 minutes! They served and cleaned all the tables around us without even saying good morning to us. Safe to say we left before being ignored any longer...

I am staying in a Guest House around the corner and was looking for somewhere to eat after a long bus journey. So glad I stumbled across this place. Had a lovely 3 course meal for £7.50. Pate, toast and salad, lamb chop cobbler and banoffee. All 3 course were large portions and I am very full. Nice friendly staff completed the picture. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again.
