Q Restaurant at The Old Quay House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Formal dining. Tables available with sea views. We had an enjoyable evening . Reservations necessary. Food & wine was good. We would return for a lunch date.

Just had a drink but lovely view outside

So, were sat in the Old Quay House in Fowey. Its raining, people walking up and down the high street, probably asking themselves, why! But sat at the back of this super hotel, with one of the best views in Cornwall, with a crab sandwich and black coffee, suddenly I dont care its raining anymore. The hotel, its staff and the ambience/ view make this a perfect place to relax, always. Why not try it yourself. Jerry, Volvo Penta, Cornwall, UK

Chicken leg (1) £20. Greens 6 lettuce leaves. Pretentious rubbish. Needed a £1.47 sausage roll after.

The restaurant is lovely, quite classy. Our food was excellent, the quality is reflected in the price though. The setting is beautiful. The night we ate here the restaurant wasn’t busy so there wasn’t a great deal of atmosphere, however the staff were very attentive. I probably wouldn’t revisit as we prefer somewhere a little cheaper with a bit more of a buzz.

Enjoyed evening meal here. Food and service were excellent. View from the lower patio is also impressive. Atmosphere could not be better, very relaxing indeed. Not the cheapest place to eat at Fowey but for us perhaps the best. Only gripe was poor beer selection.

Superb service and delicious lunch. Wonderful setting across the harbour from our berth. Friendly welcoming staff. Crab sandwiches on granary bread with fries and salad. Wonderful. We will be back!

My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with dinner at this favourite of ours. It did not disappoint. My wife had made the advance reservation and requested a table by the French windows overlooking the terrace - this was remembered and we had the table of our choice. The management and staff were truly delightful - professional yet friendly and welcoming in an informal style, nothing was too much trouble. We had a delicious range of fish from the varied menu - all cooked to perfection - accompanied by a lovely bottle of albarino. Unlike, so many, this restaurant has managed to get the balance right; unpretentious, high quality fresh food, cooked beautifully - all backed up by excellent friendly service. Thank you, we shall continue to return!

Loved this place from the minute we arrived. Superb service from the young Gabriel and the equally impressive barman. Food was impressive as was the timeliness of service and attentiveness of the manager. The cod and hake were outstanding as were the nibbles, cheesecake and cheese. Everything was first-class and we were very happy to pay for such quality. We will be back and recommend this place to others. Well done and thanks to the staff.

Beautiful setting. Nice drinks. Little pricey but worth it for ambience and views. Owner (I think) was a really nice chap who was polite and friendly.

We visited here for the final meal of our holiday, as a treat and unfortunately were very disappointed! We were seated and then questioned twice about our booking. There was no atmosphere it was very quiet for a Friday night. The menu was very limited and was different to the one displayed outside. Our food came quickly, but it was cold and bland. I had the mussels and had to spit one out as it was disgusting and my partners lobster was cold and chewy. We opted out of the desserts but had to wait a while to have our bill brought to us after requesting it. The service was poor and the staff seemed to lack training. I would not recommend!

We had a lovely cream team at the Old Quay House in May 2024, sitting outside in the sunshine overlooking the boats. The service was quick, the atmosphere calm but very friendly, and I felt super comfortable breastfeeding my baby. Our server was so helpful. The scones and clotted cream were plentiful. Great place to visit next time you’re in Fowey.

Had a lovely meal. Service is good along with the location overlooking the harbour.

A great restaurant with a special flair. Great staff very welcoming

I don’t know how anyone can review the Old Quay. We visited 3 times in a week, and stood for ages at an unmanned “please wait to be seated” sign before we gave up. One chap had managed to get served by was fruitlessly looking for someone to pay. We had a similar negative experience last year, when at least we found a staff member, who declined to let us sit on the terrace as “it was for residents only” despite being empty.

Lovely place to have a drink on the terrace looking over the water, but be warned London prices. Way over the top on drink prices. 👎👎👎

Booked to go for Sunday lunch, was informed as we sat down they stopped Sunday roasts the week before. Very limited menu and expensive for what it is.

Went for a Sunday lunch. Best roast I’ve had in a long time. Meat cooked perfectly , everything was delicious, great service.

What a fabulous hotel! We stayed for three nights in a lovely room with doors opening on to a picturesque river view. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service provided by all the staff was faultless. As many people have said the fact that there is no onsite parking is a small downside but as long as you factor in the cost of a taxi to and from the long term car park this can easily be overcome, and it’s worth it to stay in such a lovely hotel. We will definitely go back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at old quay house, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Not only was the food delicious, but the impeccable service provided by our waitress Megan , truly elevated our evening. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that set the tone for the entire meal. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she took the time to explain recommendations based on our preferences. Throughout the meal, she was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our glasses were always filled, and our needs were met promptly. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident, and it made us feel truly valued as customers. As for the food, it was a culinary delight. Each dish was prepared with care, and the flavors were a symphony for the taste buds. Whether you're a fan of classic dishes or looking to try something more adventurous, Old Quay has a diverse menu that will satisfy every palate. The ambiance of the restaurant is also worth mentioning. It's a perfect blend of cozy and upscale, making it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. In summary, Old Quayis not just a place to eat; it's an experience. The combination of delectable food and exceptional service provided by Megan made our evening truly memorable. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Thank you, Megan , and Old Quay, for making our night, We'll definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I ate in the restaurant on a Monday evening, perhaps not a traditionally busy day, but our table at 6:30pm was that last available! We were greeted at checkin by the front of house manager who graciously welcomed us and dealt with some minor confusion over our late booking with consummate ease. We were shown to a comfortable seating area and offered drinks whilst our table was readied. A couple of glasses of Prosecco followed nearly instantly accompanied by the menus and a polite question about any allergies—I’m dairy intolerant which was noted. A short while later we were shown to our table in the middle of the restaurant overlooking the estuary where our wine awaited. An amuse bouche and bread (served with butter and oil for the non dairy) followed shortly which started the culinary delights. My partner was served a sweet potato foam and for me a smoked salmon and caper dish (non dairy). Both were absolutely delicious. Smoked mackerel starters followed for us both (one with a dairy foam and one without). These were absolutely delightful. Mains came with perfect timing and looking amazing; roast cod for me and chicken breast for my partner. Both were delicious. We rounded things off with an Irish coffee and a panna cotta which as expected we’re amazing. All in all an absolutely top drawer dining experience paired with truly impeccable service. Many a Michelin starred restaurant could learn from the Old Quay House. Can’t wait to return

Booked based on previous reviews. The food was amazing, the service was great, but it just lacked atmosphere! We found it very clinical. I had smoke mackerel for starters, which was cooked to perfection followed by the pea and lemon risotto, which was to die for! Would have loved to be offered to sit out on the balcony overlooking the harbour itself but weren't given the option. Unfortunately, we could have been in a service station in Exeter for all we knew. This, however, shouldn't detract from both the service and food, which was excellent.

Food we had was delicious. This restaurant has been voted "most romantic" which I would question when you have little kids running up and down restaurant at 8pm. Not quite the experience we wanted to celebrate 40th Wedding Anniversary. Service was a bit hit and miss especially when they weren't particularly busy. Waited for dessert order to be taken with staff just walking past ignoring us. In the end got up and paid as the moment had gone! Fir what we paid not good enough. And no we did not pay the 12.5pc discretionary tip.

A great setting for a special family meal. Service was second to non and a member of staff even gallantly fended off the local seagulls. Ask for a table with a view when you book.

Had a very nice meal here a couple of days ago and would thoroughly recommend. Intimate and realxed environment with lovely views of Fowey harbour. Good wine list and varied menu. We will be back.

A very impressive restaurant. Warm welcome and excellent service throughout our meal. Food was delicious and the whole dining experience was outstanding. We were so impressed that we booked dinner again for Friday before our holiday in Fowey ends. Highly recommended.

Great great meal, Ambience was class with its own style ALL the Staff friendly at the perfect level and not rushed. Shout Out to Joe for the great service The FOOD was absolutely star quality Starter of torched mackerel was perfect and the Hake main was so so good had to stop myself eating it far too quickly Would we come back YES indeed Big thanks to all for a great night

I visited here with high hopes looking at the pictures of the food.. the reality was an experience of bland food that lacked enough seasoning.

Gorgeous food with great view,right by the river in Fowey. Good for a treat.worth the cost approx £50 per person c drinks. Good cooking,fresh,local.fish and meat and veggie options. I liked it so much I went twice in 1 week.

We went to The Quay House twice during our week in Fowey. On both occasions the food and ambiance was excellent and the staff very helpful. The range of items on the menu is limited and it is a pity there were no 'specials' as an alternative. Cost wise it was over £100 for 2 people. The location is lovely with the ever changing river views. We will go back.

We were accommodated in spite of a lack of a booking. Inventive combinations and cooking, good relaxed service, wine well-priced given quality of restaurant. Great location with estuary view.

Booked based on a recommendation. One waiter working who was exceptional. Very attentive and knew the details on wine, fish and local areas. Very relaxed atmosphere and great food topped it off, would highly recommend

Delicious. There is no more to be said. It was utterly perfect.

Pleasant hotel, clean rooms, external door catch damaged, very short dinner choice on menu, most of food was good, limited bar, bathroom/shower handholds should have been fitted permanently ( nearly slipped twice), happy helpful staff

Very high standard of meal, good quality, excellent choice and presentation very good. Perfect for a treat.

Good food and excellent service. Eating in February deprived us of a fantastic view of the estuary as it was dark, but I'm sure we'll return when the evenings are light.

We ate here on the evening of New Years Day. Excellent food and service, I highly recommend that visitors to Fowey who enjoy good food try this restaurant. I have tried all the restaurants in Fowey and consider this to be joint first with Appletons.

Pros - Nice setting and good service. - Fish was cooked well and the pork cheek starter was nice - Nice wine - Beautifully presented food Cons - Food was lasting flavour and generally a bit disappointing. - Lacked seasoning - Three of the meals (Blade of Beef, the Risotto and the beetroot starter) were very average, presented well but didn’t really taste of much Average food but did not meet our expectations based on the setting and price. Probably wouldn’t visit again or recommend to friends.

This is a wonderful small restaurant with fantastic views of the estuary. They do a three or five course menu with three or four choices for the starter, main and dessert. The quality and presentation of the food was exceptional. The service was friendly and professional. We felt we could take our time and enjoy every course. We did visit during the week so I guess it could be busier at the weekends. We had a table in the middle of the restaurant but still had views of the estuary and the boats. We will definitely be visiting again in the not too distant future and would like to thank the chef and all the staff for a very memorable evening.

Really nice food, attentive service. Let down with lack of options for drinks (no non alcohol drinks alternatives) and limited dinning layout with everyone desperate for the river view. Felt a but pricey for what it was, but nice no the less.

We stayed in Fowey for seven nights and ate in a different local place each night. Our experience here was the best of all restaurants at which we ate. The quality of the produce, the preparation, the presentation, and the service were all excellent. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The whole ambience of the restaurant was welcoming and relaxed. And the views across the estuary at sunset were almost too distracting.At the end of the evening we felt as if we had had and experience and not just a meal. I highly recommend The Old Quay House.

We ate at The Old Quay House when they were only catering for residents and this was a good decision, allowing for the highest quality of dishes and service. We ate dinner here twice and enjoyed the food immensely, only one dish disappointed and that was the frangipani tart which was extremely dry and didn't taste of frangipani! Every other dish gets full marks! Service was polite and efficient with dishes arriving in a timely manner, neither too rushed or too long a wait!

The "hotel/restaurant" is in a nice area of Fowey. However, the owners seem to think they are a cut above everything else around them.Service and attitude poor - will waste my money elsewhere!

This is the best restaurant in Fowey that we have come across. The setting is beautiful, looking out onto the wooded hills beyond and the harbour. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the food is exquisite. I particularly enjoyed my crab starter and panna cotta dessert. I had the hake, which was very subtle in flavour. My husband enjoyed his beef. The service is excellent. All in all a beautiful evening.

Found this gem during a busy Saturday in July when we thought everywhere in Fowey was fully booked. The restaurant is part of the hotel so maybe why it’s not so obvious a place to book for dinner and what a find! Menu and wine list were not extensive but extremely well chosen and perfect for us - our fish was cooked to perfection. The children’s menu options offered an interesting change from the usual deep fried fare with chips and our young daughter really enjoyed her omelette. The ambiance and surroundings were elegant and classy and the service was great from Faith and Neil. Would definitely recommend.

We were staying at the hotel and had a great meal.The food was fresh and really good and, despite the label, not expensive.The brill was brilliant and the crab starter was really good and the complementary amuse bouche fantastic followed by some great cheesesTry it

Called in for drinks after a long walk. Great service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended place

We eat here every time we visit Fowey. The food is consistently excellent and the view is beautiful overlooking the water. We had fish and chips for lunch which were delicious and a refreshing normal sized portion which I could actually finish. The wine here is excellent and the service is always good here.

We managed to get a table for lunch time (12pm) and as we were first there, we were able to get the prime table - in the middle of the room, facing the beautiful river, watching the boats go by.The staff were friendly and attentive, but didn't bother us. Always happy to help.The food was superb - possibly the best fish and chips ever (even the mushy peas that my wife hates were a hit)! The local cheeses were great too, a good portion, but not too much. Also a great local cider, which I then searched for online and found in the local shop to take home as a momento.In terms of COVID, like all restaurants we experienced in Cornwall - plenty of hand sanitiser, the tables looked clean and staff had their masks on. I saw the waiters wipe down tables once the table was clear.We visited Rick Stein's (pop up) the night before and actually preferred this place instead!I hope to visit again when we are next in Fowey.

This was our final evening eating out on our Cornwall break. We had already had 2 really good meals out. Due to Covid I had booked at least a month in advance. Everywhere has obviously had to reduce the number of covers they are able to provide. There were good safety measures in place and tables were also spaced a good distance apart.The menu was quite limited, so it didn't take long to decide what to have. There was an amuse bouche served which looked delicious, however was sadly lacking in any flavor. Our meals were served by male waiters both wearing face coverings. They were not particularly engaging with us, and appeared somewhat disinterested. There was no ambiance in the dinning area. ( which could be due to reduced numbers of guests).As the evenings were cooler and starting to get dark earlier we were unable to see any view across the estuary which I'm sure must be lovely in the summer months.A pleasant evening, food was well presented on lovely serve wear, but sadly lacking in seasoning, My main meal was missing a vital element and when I queried this, I felt that I was not given a truthful answer. My husbands main meal however he really enjoyed and commented on the perfect cooking of his steak.We both had the panna cotta for dessert which was delightful.On reflection this was the most expensive meal that we had out of three, having eaten in Padstow & Truro on previous evenings.

We booked a holiday in Fowey and could not miss going to this restaurant. Its been some time and although you check out trip advisor - one can never be fully assured - its only an opinion by someone you don't know. However, it lived up to all our expectations. The food was delicious and as we sat over looking the river felt that they made us welcome and safe.I will defiantly return on my next trip to glorious Fowey.

We were looking forward to our afternoon tea at the Old Quay House but at £35 we felt that it was overpriced and disappointing. The tea included 2 scones each but they were hard ( warming them might have helped) a tiny pot of jam each and a small dish of clotted cream to share. Barely enough jam and cream for 2 scones let alone 4. Not quite what we were expecting . A disappointing experience.

Staying at the hotel and just had dinner at the restaurant. Food was exceptionally, service very good, but ambience just not good enough for fine dining. Overhead lighting blaring into eyes. Needs a review of lighting and need to create a more relaxed dining experience. Both ourselves and the couple on next table took after dinner drinks to room as couldn’t bear the cold atmosphere. Just review the lighting and create a warm, cosy and fine dining experience and it will be fine. Try more candle light. Switch off Those damned Overhead ceiling lighting that we All have in our bathrooms and kitchens. I just don’t want to feel like I am sitting in the kitchen/bathroom when I am paying £150 for a meal for two

Fabulous afternoon tea and fantastic five course evening menu. Would really recommend both. Especially with the views of the river and lovely terrace thrown in! A hidden gem.

We visited The Old Quay House while on holiday in Cornwall for our wedding anniversary meal, what a great decision. Not a single fault with anything. Good selection on the menu, amazing food, very friendly polite staff, lovely location, spacious inside and outside and what a fantastic view of Fowey. The evening was excellent from start to finish 10 out of 10 from us..

We ate different fish meals and thoroughly enjoyed them, as well as delicious desserts. The location and service are very good.

I found the decor cold, the service over-formal and the food pretentious and overpriced. The only thing I enjoyed was the lemon sorbet.

First visit today from Newquay. Met a friend in Fowey which was 45 minute drive for us both. Well worth the visit. Beautiful views and stunning food. Already planning my next visit as my partner would love it here. The staff wore masks and practiced good social distancing throughout. Really made mine and my friends day special. The food was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Great service and kind staff. 10/10 from me!

Excellent food, great service. Especially loved the mussels, although both hake and chicken were excellent too. Make sure to book in advance, as they have but a few tables now.

Very nice meal at Old Quay. Nearly perfect in all aspects of finer dining. We were staying at the hotel and our local travel partners suggested dining in. We enjoyed a surprisingly beautiful meal. Amuse bouchée and pre - dessert included. The service on our visit was near perfect in meal timing and upscale server etiquette. Mains of sea bream and cod fillets succulently grilled, accompanied, and beautifully plated, sublime curry cauliflower starter and side broccolini. Competent friendly service on a busy Saturday night. A bit upscale in price but didn’t matter on our visit - I’m okay paying for quality. Nice experience at the restaurant and hotel!

Stayed at the hotel and had diner on the first night which was faultless. Exceptional food on a fine dining level.

Went for valentines... Food was AMAZING service was excellent. Was expensive but worth the money. Would recommend the restaurant and hotel.

the five course menu with little added extras was a delight. My wife and i went off in separate directions with the choices but agreed we enjoyed every last taste. The waiting staff were excellent and not overwhelming which i always regard as notable. Recommended.

A great place to relax with a glass or two of wine and soak up the sunshine. Stunning views of the estuary.

We had a cottage in Fowey for a week over Near Year 2019/2020 and the owner of the cottage gave us a list of recommended restaurants, The Old Quay House being one. We booked a table for new years eve about 8 weeks prior and we were not disappointed. With a small menu of 3 starter/mains/dessert it was perfect from start to finish with an amuse bouche to start and a pallet cleanser before dessert, we chose the local cheeses which were delicious. We also chose to have the wine pairings which were all excellent. Service was very good but not stuffy. All in all an excellent choice.

This was our first visit to Fowey and wanted to eat somewhere memorable to start our Xmas stay, in this beautiful seaside town.The restaurant is situated over looking the estuary which must be especially stunning in the summer. The restaurant overall has an ambience of great class. The evening menu was made up of a fixed menu and you can choose 5 courses for £45 or 2 courses for £37.50 (we went for the latter) You also get local made bread complimentary with special local butters.. A very good touch. We all choose differently for Entrees from Haddock tart with poached egg to Pork Belly and my wife the beetroot.. All good portions. The main courses were again served beautifully two of us going for the Cod while my daughter going for the blade of beef, recommended by the waiter. Most importantly the service was of the highest standard and extremely welcoming, with good knowledge of the menu and various wines. We were recommended the Pinotage which was simply superb. It is the stand out place in Fowey and based on our experience worth those extra pennies.

We visited on a very rainy day, partly to get out of the rain and partly to get a cuppa and a piece of cake.The restaurant looks over the river and we sat in the window.The tea and cake were good quality and reasonably priced.

I think it was by far the BEST fish and chips I had this trip. A hotel run by an ex-south African couple who's son serves in the restaurant. And incredible service it is! One piece of advice - Beware the set menu at dinner! It is pricey, although in saying that I do believe it is worth every penny. It is not obvious, however, that it is a set menu with no a la carte menu so do be advised.

Excellent. At the higher end of the price spectrum

I booked a table for dinner for my husband’s birthday on 19th October. We were both blown away with the standard of the food and customer service. We’ve been to Michelin started restaurants before - and the food at the Old Quay House was of an equivalent standard! Excellent- would definitely recommend eating here. Fowey is a favourite place for us to visit when we’re on holiday in Cornwall

We stayed at the hotel and ate one dinner and two breakfasts in the restaurant. Dinner is a semi set menu of two courses £37.50 or five courses £45 with the emphasis on fresh and local produce. In a very penny pinching way each side dish was an extra £4. i found the menus a bit pretentious and some of the ingredients of not particularly high quality. The young staff though where outstanding. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice but service was ridiculously slow, the kitchen did not seem to be able to cope with more than four orders at a time.

К сожалению на ужин попасть не удалось (хотя мы были постояльцами этого отеля). Посидели на террасе, выпил вина, угостились оливками. Официанты дружелюбные, обслуживание не быстрое. Они же посоветовали нам для ужина другой ресторан. Утром завтракали в ресторане, меню хорошее, порции небольшие. Забавный лист коктейлей на завтрак за дополнительную плату.

Although we regularly visit Fowey, this was our first visit to The Old Quay House. We only popped in for a sandwich, which turned into a steak lunch with cocktails. The food was beautifully prepared and was washed down with a French Martini. We were served by a young lady who was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent food, service and scenic views, we will definitely be returning soon for an evening.Thank you to all the staff for a lovely afternoon.

It has a great atmosphere and the dishes are beautifully prepared. If you are looking for the best reasturant in town, this is it !!

Of all the restaurants we have visited in Fowey this week this stands head and shoulders above the rest for sheer class and quality.

We sat outside on the deck for lunch - great location with lovely views. Good service and food - not the cheapest with sandwich and chips costing £9 but I guess you are paying for the location. The evening menu looked tempting but expensive.

Auf unsereFr Reise durch Südengland übernachteten wir in Fowey und assen in diesem Restaurant zu Abend. Das Essen war spitzenmässig, sehr kreativ, sehr liebevoll angerichtet und im stievollen Raum fühlte man sich einfach sehr wohl. Auch der Servicee war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen

Amazing food with a view to die for.

This restaurant is beautifully situated on the Fowey waterfront with a terrace area jutting out into the river providing a great setting to watch boats chugging while choosing from the menu.

I was walking past with 3 year old daughter. She persuaded me that we ought to have a look in the restaurant out of curiosity. In the event we stopped for a very fine pint of Estrella and some truffle smoked nuts. We had a really fun 30 minutes watching the world go by on the Estuary and I'm very grateful to the staff for giving us such a good table. I'll be back!

We visited the restaurant at the end of August for a family dinner. The service was friendly and attentive and the food had the potential to be great. The raw ingredients looked good and fresh and the combinations were interesting but... everything was heavily over-salted, to the extent that I couldn't finish my main. This is such a basic error and really disappointing for an established restaurant, especially given the hefty London prices.

A quaint looking restaurant with hotel rooms above. Beautiful waterside terrace with fantastic views. We had a table overlooking the water - which at any other time would have been fantastic but was spoilt by the cigarette smell coming from those on the terrace.

We booked to eat here while staying over the river in Polruan. The food was delicious with some really interesting flavours including the vegetarian options - and the staff were aware of some of the common pitfalls for vegetarians including the gelatin in the pannacotta. The location is amazing with gorgeous views over the river. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. It was a little bit posh and a little bit chilled. Exactly what we were looking for! Would definitely return the next time we're in the area.

Fabulous service friendly and informed team, the food a stunning fusion of complimentary flavours. Devine, compliments to the Chef and team

We didn’t have our evening meal, as we wanted to the food in a near by restaurant. But the had the breakfast and it was outstanding, with the best coffee ever!

We were visiting nearby and were recommended The Old Quay House for our 20th wedding anniversary. We were really impressed from when we first opened the door. We had a drink in the bar. We had a great table overlooking the river. We are both vegetarian and all 5 courses were superb. It was modern cuisine with great flavoured food. The service was attentive. The Cornish cheeses and port was a perfect end to the meal. Highly recommend for a special meal.

I came here with my family on holiday! The setting is truly wonderful the service was second to none! Especially a tall skinny waiter called Lewis i belive he had a wonderful beard! His sevice was impeccable he was polite and handled a busy service very well! Whatever we needed he would bring over and even ha d a laugh with us he truly made our night just that little more special thankyou Lewis! And the food was second to none beat everywhere else i ate fowey by a country mile! Thankyou lewis and thankyou to the

Arrived here with my wife and daughter around 8.15 to what seemed a nice coastal restaurant pub diner. The was a few tables that had not been cleared with quite a lot of waste food on . I thought then the food must be bad here . We were shown to a table reluctantly and told to order when we were ready. We chose our meals and I went to the bar to pay . I asked about the sign that said expect an half hour wait only to be told they had stopped serving food 2 minutes ago at 8.30 . We swiftly left , furious with this poor management and lack of customer service. I’d have thought restaurants would have welcomed business during the holiday season. Obviously not. Avoid unless you want to be let down

We had a meal here and opted for the 3 course menu. I have to say the staff were excellent. I have a dairy intolerance and before I got to the restaurant they checked for allergies and were very careful when I arrived making sure my menu choices were dairy free. A pre dinner drink on the terrace is a must. Make sure you arrive an hour before to sit and enjoy a drink by the water whilst perusing the menu. Good choices, lots of fresh fish options and extensive wine menu. We had the Salcome gin with tonic which was delicious and new apparently. Food quality was very good, great atmosphere even seated inside and knowledgeable attentive staff. Must visit in our opinion

Dit is een mooi restaurant onderdeel van een goed hotel, doch ook frequent bezocht door passanten. Fraaie, vooral vis georiënteerde gerechten die aantrekkelijk worden gepresenteerd. Correcte service.

Stayed as guest and decided to have a meal here one night. I am an occasional fish eater but was very impressed with the Cod main course. The fish was cooked beautifully with a tasty topping and sauce. The other diner is often underwhelmed by the vegetarian option but the polenta cakes and accompaniments were very good. I ordered a range of sides including potatoes, broccoli and mixed greens - these were fantastic! Each with a little twist to notch them up a level.

We had a lovely meal at the Old Quay House a couple of weeks ago. All dishes were craftfully prepared and service was good. Best crackling fish skin of all the pan roasted fish dishes we had during our holiday in Cornwall, still managing a suckulent and moist fish meat. That's quite hard to handle, being a bit of a hobby chef myself! A couple of dishes needed some extra pizzazz, and service could be a bit more attentive, although they all were very nice and polite. Very near an excellent mark, but still, very good indeed.

We had a very enjoyable lunch on the Terrace this week. The food was excellent and the service good. Lovely views of the river and well worth a visit. The only downside is the lack of maintenance of the hotel which is looking really shabby on the outside which is a pity. A few more umbrellas on the terrace would not go amiss!

Went out for a lovely family meal with the children and grandad parents. Service was brilliant, food was amazing, good value for money. Sat in the garden for dinner with an amazing view. Children loved the play area.

Absolutely fantastic seafood and service seaside . A beatific hotel that welcomes us as lingering lunch guests. We tried a Pinot Grigio Rose (which I’d not heard of before ) as well as a local beer from dynamite Valley brewery and the perfect afternoon was made . We had the mussels which were clean and balanced and so tender . We also got the white crab with tomatoe gazpacho. I could have swam in that dish.

We were looking for somewhere to enjoy a cream tea with a good view of the river in Fowey. This is a fairly upmarket venue with a sunny terrace over the river and looked ideal. It all came apart when we ordered.

The service was friendly and professional, the breakfast and the dinners were excellent, and the views from the restaurant and the terrace very romantic.

Right on the waters edge this is in a superb location if the weather is good. A sitting area outside overlooking the estuary is delightful on a sunny evening. The food was good but not exceptional.

The manager rude and lies about times and put other local people priority over visitors very unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome very unhappy

From walking through the front door to leaving we had a very good experience here. The menu is small with a good range of choice.
