Snail's Pace Cafe in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is such s great find. Stopped here by chance with our Shih Tzus Toffee and Penny We had a fantastic tasting Coffee and the most delicious brownies ever. Set at the end of the Camel Trail probably only known to cyclists Staff where fantastic too. We will be back very jealous of what we saw on other people's plates as well. Thank You guys

Beautifully cooked full Cornish breakfast. Great quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Great coffee too. Follow it up with a walk down on the Camel Trail and it’s an ideal start to the day.

After cycling for 16 miles I was very happy to see this cafe, but I got a very frosty welcome. I arrived at 9.26 and the doors were open so I went in to be told fiercely ‘Give us 5 minutes will you’. I waited 10. Then after going inside and standing there for another three minutes, the lady said what can I get you. No smile. I got my tea and it was very nice, but I didn’t really enjoy it because the lady and her (much friendlier assistant) were bitching about Sarah, whoever she is. It’s a shame, it could be such a lovely place but without a warm welcome I felt like I was an inconvenience.

Really pleasant staff and a fab filling Breakfast. It is an independant, eco cafe with most of its power from solar panels and majority of food sourced locally. I would visit again if I was in the area.

A wonderful find at the head of the Camel Trail, friendly service with excellent coffee and cakes! Highly recommended to anyone heading up the trail!

Just had to drop in for lunch. Delicious salad and a brownie too - they're the best brownies! As always it was delicious and staff friendly and helpful.

A great little cafe to recharge when cycling the Camel Trail. Nice HOT coffee and freshly cooked food. Bacon and fried egg in a focaccia bun, just what you need 20 miles in on your ride. Worth staying on the trail for.

An amazing cafe with friendly staff and delicious food. First went in early October and have returned twice since then. Looking forward to the next visit

A lovely little off-grid cafe at one end of the camel trail. Bacon roll excellent, wonderful coffee. Well worth a visit!

Snail’s Pace is a really fab cafe in a great location on the Camel Trail stopped off for lunch and the food was delicious with a great choice of vegan dishes and the best brownies ever! Lovely, helpful staff - highly recommend it!

Very friendly staff, had a nice conversation, the food was amazing and then a nice walk down the camel trail made it perfect. I recommend this to all it’s definitely worth it

A great little cafe ..the salad plates are fresh and especially delicious .. the cakes .. all the cakes are look great. We tried the ginger cake and the frangipani while out on a morning cycle on the moors .. sublime. Great coffee too. Just love this cafe and all the staff too.

Ensure you get a receipt for your order. This cafe took payment in advance but did not deliver the food. After an extended wait - it is called Snail's Pace - the customer asked when the lunch would be available. The staff denied taking the order. Food was only prepared on presentation of the receipt, with no compensation offered for the extended wait. There are also plenty wasps which like their canned soft drinks. Never again. Off my Camel Trail stops!

Nice cafe limited menu if you're not vegan/vegetarian. Asked for a toastie surprised don't offer these. Most cafes been to offer toastie as a choice. Didn't try cakes looked nice. Very expensive cafe for 2 curries, soup and bacon sandwich. Didn't like the toilet understand composting toilet not for everyone!!

Amazing find on the camel trail! Great coffee and the cakes to die for,especially the almond cake..delicious. Will be coming back for more also lunch while we're out cycling.

We have been to the Snails Pace several times for Coffee and Cake etc but today we had the AFTERNOON TEA!! It was truly amazing, the sandwiches were proper sandwiches delicious bread and stuffed with filling, the scones were some of the best scones we have ever had out and it was topped off with fantastic home made cakes. What an experience, Thank you so much Mel and Nick, we are already planning another visit later in the summer.

Very nice people and the Goat’s cheese roll we had was amazing. Few benches outside and a few tables inside too. Their specials board was really good, and they always try to source local.

Good cycling stop if using the trail. Nice cakes and great cup of tea Easy ride from Bodmin Borough Arms car park

Such a lovely cafe. Always friendly and great service with an environmental ethos. The food is delicious. Had the best scones we’ve had for ages. Also delicious hummus, sandwiches, Moroccan cous cous and brownies. Worth seeking out and even better if you’ve cycled the camel trail and worked up an appetite! Great for a dog walk and river swim too.

It’s a lovely place we had coffee and cake the coffee was made very quickly and the cake was delicious the service was wonderful very bright lovely people it was a perfect stop on the end of are Cycle on camel trail

We often go here for breakfast after riding, they offer so much in an eco friendly and delightful surroundings. We can even paddle the dog in the river to clean her off.

Excellent stop lunch after a walk along the Camel Trail. Choose from a hot or cold lunch or take your pick from the good choice of cakes on offer with a drink. There’s also parking available if required.

We cycled to Snail's Pace for brunch (I was promised it if I cycled all the way! 😁) and it was worth every single mile!! The food was delicious and the staff all very friendly and helpful. We both had a breakfast roll (one sausage...

Friendly and helpful bike hire. Prices very competitive and well maintained bikes. An excellent place to start the Camel Trail as at the quieter end starting at Wenfordbridge. Even able to hire a little trailer for our dachshund! The Camel Trail is lovely and safe...

It’s a long way to cycle to from Padstow and well worth every push on the pedals. Open air tables and a super eco-friendly ethos match simple and excellent fare.

My husband's bike shed a small but vital part whilst we were on the Camel Trail - Nick at Snail's Pace Bike Hire mended it whilst we ate delicious cake at the cafe and wouldn't take any payment. What a lovely man (and Boris his...

Both coffee and freshly baked scones were absolutely delicious - we were ready for them after our cycle from Bodmin. Loved the ethos. Sitting outside on a sunny morning was just perfect. Thank you.

We had a delicious lunch at Snail’s Pace Cafe. The food was excellent, with a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and homemade cakes. Kids can run around outside safely and there’s a lovely play corner inside with books and toys. The owner was...

We headed up to Wenfordbridge today with our own bikes to cycle the Camel Trail and horror of horrors found one of the tyres was completely flat and needed a new inner tube. Up stepped the owner of Snail’s Pace who replaced the tube all...

Fantastic effort by everyone involved here. Great location to set off and return for the Camel Trail Well worth a visit

Good bikes, a mass of useful information and a great place to start your trip along the Camel Trail. Starting and finishing on the peaceful tree lined path following the fast flowing river worked well with the crowded sections in the middle.

We have visited Snails many times whilst staying in St. Breward. The cafe serves wonderful vegetarian breakfasts and the coffee is superb. We hired bikes and cycled to Wadebridge on the Camel trail. Special thanks to Nick who was so helpful and friendly to us with his able assistant Boris. Can't wait to to be there again and the location is great. Thank you for making our holiday in Cornwall so enjoyable.

I found Snails Pace on Google looking for somewhere whilst cycling the Camel Trail, so messaged them about vegan options and so called for lunch. Its a popular cycling place as its half way on the Camel Trail. Snails Pace is in a recycled shipping container with a wooden conservatory attached with solar panels and all takeaway containers and cups are eco friendly and biodegradable. We had two superfood salads which today consisted of cashew & red pepper couscous, garlic mushrooms, vine leaves, red cabbage & beetroot slaw and salad leaves and was a good sized portion. We also had two teas with oat milk. The salad was perfect, full of flavour and satisfying and we wolfed it down. There was a vegan breakfast available, butterbean houmous sandwich and a vegan cake.

We came to Cornwall and wanted to make the most of the time down here . I found this cafe and the bike hire. The gentleman went above and beyond giving advice on the bikes, making sure we were comfortable, advised on the route and the best places to visit, took into consideration our 4 year old and suggested places relating to our family and around the local area. A very honest man, I would absolutely come back and visit and only use him! He is a genuinely a lovely man, new bikes and everything f we need was provided, locks, puncture kits and his number if we had any problems! Would highly recommend! Snails pace cafe fab! Lots of vegan options which make me happy and non vegan options for others to. Big selection and a good pre bike coffee

We visited the snails pace cycle hire and it was amazing, the owner of the cycle hire was fantastic (sorry we didn’t get your name). The bikes were like brand new and we originally ordered a child seat for our 3 year old but from a recommendation from the hire shop we changed to a child type tandem. Puncture repair kit and lock were provided and advice about our journey was very welcomed. If your looking to travel the snail trail then please start from this location you will not be disappointed. Thanks again to the cycle hire owner for your help and guidance.

Amazing veggie breakfast, we stayed at the bnb across the road and smashed back the brekkie both mornings of our stay. A different style of veggie breakfast, not just offering the bog standard substitute ‘sausages’ etc. Nice.

As a slightly off the beaten track location it was nice to find this small cafe at the end of the Camel Trail. The cake that I had was lovely, the only downside was that I could not choose some of the other cakes advertised as they had sold out.

We started our days bike ride here and they were fantastic - very helpful and friendly.The bikes we hire were great value and Nick was really helpful setting us up.A long cycle but a beautiful one into Padstow and back.Defo recommend and family friendly.

Lovely food. Great salad box with lots of unusual items. Best vegan cake I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service. A lot of vegan options for a small cafe. (It isn’t just vegan).

Thanks to great team at 🐌 pace cafe. Best ginger cake and lemon drizzle cake had for ages! Liked the friendly robin who joined our lunch stop. Perfect refreshment for cycle on Camel trail.

Fantastic day hiring bikes at Snails Pace. We only enquired the previous day but got lucky with a cancellation. Nick was super helpful, friendly & accommodating. We’ve done the Wadebridge-Padstow before but enjoyed the top end of the trail just as much. Much quieter and very peaceful cruising along the river.Our 8 year hired a bike with the 5 year old on the tag along. Worked well for the 26mile return to Wadebridge- can highly recommend Snails Pace!!

We hired bikes and cycled to Wadebridge. Nick helped us set up our bikes and ensured we were all taken care of. Super friendly and nothing too much trouble. A real piece of West Country customer service. We then saw off mega cakes on our return. Lovely place.

As always the Snails Pace never fails to impress. Friendly service, lovely coffee and today I had the vegan ginger cake which was the best yet, Thank you Snails Pace.

Cycled from Bodmin on the Camel Trail to the Snail Pace cafe and was rewarded with a delicious cream tea. Service was quick and efficient. Would visit again.

Breckfast 11.30 finished. Very disapointed. No hot food on offer.could not see the cakes when asked..

On a very rainy walk we stopped off for lunch. Sandwiches were delicious but the carrot cake was the best we have ever had! Completely fresh from the oven and totally yummy. Definitely to be recommended.

Another nice lunch here. Lovely fresh bread sandwiches made while we waited with great coffee too. A really nice place to visit when on your Camel Trail Bike Ride.

We'd popped out for a coffe and a snack. The staff were very friendly and accommodating as they allowed us to have items from the breakfast menu althiugh the breakfast menu had finished. Service was very quick and the food was delightful! Bacon and egg sandwich , chocolate and Guinness cake and coffee were all fantastic! Highly recommend a stop!

Couple of weeks ago we stopped on our walk for a mushroom sandwich and ice cream. Was lovely! Staff where very nice too

My husband and I visited Snail’s Pace today for the first time after receiving great recommendations from friends. I am so glad we did.Despite arriving obviously at a busy time of day, I was very impressed with the cheerful atmosphere and very friendly manner of the staff. We had the delicious falafels which were freshly cooked and the service was efficient.Well worth visiting after cycling from Wadebridge!

I love this cafe. Great cake and coffee, and very welcoming and friendly staff as always. Would really recommend as a place to visit if you like good tasty food. Particularly recommend the frangipani cake. Situated at the quiet end of the Camel Trail it is a very welcome sight at the end of a long walk with the dog.

We contacted Snails Pace and despite being a last minute booking the team we very accommodating, extremely helpful and were able to sort bikes for us. We hired two bikes with tag-ons for our 4 and 5 year olds. Having not ventured on a bike ride before as didn't think they would last long, we decided today would be the perfect time to try it out. Not being sure how far we'd get we set off from Snails Pace and ended up in Wadebridge!!! Our boys were able to pedal too, which helped us along the way, we stopped at The Borough Arms for lunch, pit stop at Wadebridge, then headed back for an ice cream!! Well deserved after 22 miles.Would highly recommend, our boys had an absolutely fantastic day out. It was the perfect end to the school holidays. The Bike Hire is great value for money and made for a great family day out. Pump, puncture repair kit and bike lock were all provided so covered in all eventualities.Will be visiting again very soon Great friendly, cheerful service as always from the team at Snails Pace.#supportlocal #bikehire #familytime

What a fantastic set up! With Cornwall in full swing over the August bank holiday we were so glad that we could get bike hire and collection sorted from this beautiful cafe. We needed a number of bikes for children and adults and the member of staff I spoke to on the phone to sort bike hire could not have been more helpful. Fab cafe team - delicious breakfast and beautiful coffees set us up well for our cycle and the selection of homemade cakes we took with us along the way were the perfect snack. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon hopefully! Thank you

Myself and friends were visiting my family over the bank holiday weekend who live locally and ordered brunch to eat at the outdoor seating. Whilst ordering we were a little taken aback by the rude girl taking orders however we persevered as we’d walked an hour to reach the cafe. When the orders were ready to pick up and called out we wanted to check we were collecting the correct food however the girl again taking orders couldn’t tell us what was wrapped up in each package and was less than helpful when asked if it was our food. There was then a drink missing from my order which I questioned and was told I had not ordered, I was then made to feel like this was my fault and was spoken to in a very rude manner that was quite unacceptable and I was shocked by. Thankfully the staff member making the coffees was able to assist me with my simple request for a plain black coffee. The food however was delicious as always, would recommend the breakfast sandwiches. It was such a shame the meal and experience was ruined by the rude staff member especially given this was one of my first breaks away from working full time in a busy Covid hospital. I would love to return for the great food however I’m not sure it’s worth it for the poor service I received.

Hidden Veggie Friendly Eco Gem ! Nestled on the Camel Trail this amazing independent cafe is lovely and the service was excellent and the staff were very friendly as well. Totally delicious brunch with lots of veggie options all served with a wonderful smile and a terrific welcome. If you’re on the Camel Trail don’t miss this place! 100% off grid luxury

What a great little place. Constant stream of cyclists passing through and cars parking. We rode from Bodmin to Snails Pace cafe along the river path. The path is a bit rough and ready but better than busy roads. The cafe is amazing. Eco friendly, lovely array of foods and cakes and drinks all at reasonable prices. Cheese burger was really tasty. Quiche was great and my son loved the cream tea although most squidgy out as there was soo much cream and jam! The composting toilet is a great asset. Environmentally friendly and a bit pongy but it’s all natural! Great little place and well worth the cycle.

My family and I visited Cornwall last week and stopped off at Snail's Pace for a cake. The cakes were amazing! There is such a good selection, we all had a different one and if the portions hadn't been so generous, would certainly have been back for another one! The whole natural, sustainable ethos of the cafe is a breath of fresh air - even the cafe it's self is a re-used shipping container, although you'd never guess, clad in re-cycled timber! you can also hire bikes there, which would make the food even tastier after a long ride on the Camel Trail - if that was possible!The staff couldn't be friendlier and the whole atmosphere is relaxing and pleasurable. A treat for any occasion!

Been meaning to visit for a while and cycled down the trail to discover this place. Friendly staff and good home cooked food - doing a great job in difficult times and keeping it safe with outside eating and take away options. Great compost loo too!

Amazing homemade food in a tranquil spot along the bike trail.I have visited here many times as I genuinely love the food. There’s something for everyone, and the ingredients are sourced locally. The homemade cakes are first class (take some home if you have no room left after the lunch)!The service is brilliant, and the socially distracted seating outside is perfect. Eco friendly / food at its best.

Eat it to beeeelieve it! This was a perfect way to spend a winters afternoon. The selection of sandwiches were divine, the cakes are heavenly and the coffee was perfect. The owner is just wonderful, her staff are attentive, polite and friendly. I will always find time to return to this little hidden gem of a cafe.

We visited here after cycling from Wadebridge on the Camel Trail and arrived hungry and cold.We were greeted by a cosy cafe, lovely staff and all round delicious food. All the more impressive as the cafe is solar powered and off grid.Definitely plan to return next time we are in Cornwall.

We cycled up the Camel Trail from Padstow where we was holidaying to take Lunch at the Snails Pace Cafe.We'd heard the cafe was an eco cafe and was a little worried, sometime these places get too wrapped up in the eco stuff they forget about the food, drink and service.This is not the case here. The day we arrived was very hot summers day. The inside of the cafe was intolerably hot, but that was solved by sitting outside. Air con is a no no for the eco-credentials, but finding a way of slinging a camo net over the outside of the roof or opening the room would certainly help the staff inside if nobody else.We took a sandwich and quiche both were served in a timely fashion and were delicious served with side salads. I believe the ingredients are local where possible, but this is not shoved in your face. To finish up we took two cream teas which again were delicious and fresh coming out of the oven a few mins before we ordered.The place was busy but staff managed it well. There was sufficient for our little lad to do and a nice touch was the provision of a few chunky toys for toddlers. The composting loo was interesting, but worked.

Having driven around Bodmin Moor in the rain, fog and half light (still beautiful!), this lovely cosy little eco cafe was a welcome find and the owner was so friendly even though he was about to close. Great coffee too! Will return on a sunny day

This was by far our favourite find in Cornwall. Wonderful service, fantastic food and, we found, quick service. The staff are so warm and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble and they're always happy to help. An eco cafe serving local sourced food, what more could you possibly want?! We will definitely be visiting when we next head down to Cornwall

A very nice stop off point if you are on the Camel Trail. Caters to Vegan and Vegetarians. We had a cappuccino which was lovely. Service was pleasant and they had plenty of food choices for breakfast and lunch.

Took a cycle ride with a friend onto the quiet part of the camel trail, that’s the section from Bodmin to Wenford, not Bodmin to Padstow. About 7 miles up the trail at Wenford Bridge you will find this unusual but charming cafe. They are said to be off grid. The menu is limited but is all fresh and prepared as you order. There is space to eat inside however most people seem to head outside to their picnic tables. Young cheerful staff bring your food out to you. They also hire bicycles if you fancy a ride through some beautiful scenery yourself. There is lots of free parking if you arrive by car. I have to say my lunch was really tasty and I think I shall return to The Snails Pace Cafe.

We visited the Snails Pace to hire bikes for the Camel trail, plenty of bikes in all size and bike rally good value as well. Do suggest getting one of the ones with mud guards though as trail can be a bit soggy in places. Completed the 14 miles to and from Bodmin and then had a lovely drink and homemade carrot and apple cake, brownies to die for and warm scone and cream. Prices are more than reasonable for the food which is all homemade and delicious. Savoury menu also looks amazing and very well priced. Definitely going to return again

Called here for a quick bite after cycling to start of camel trail ...the staff were great and did is a bacon sandwich on the nicest thick granary bread, finished off by what I can only say was the nicest gooey brownie ever!!!

We stayed nearby and stopped in a couple of times - twice for breakfast, once for afternoon tea. Every time the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food fantastic. They clearly aim for high standards and to do something a bit different, being eco friendly and focused on quality of food and service. Definitely deserves supporting!

This great little cafe is located at one end of the Camel Trail, and having cycled from Padstow we were ready for a “pit stop” !

In search of the best cream tea in Cornwall and we found this little gem hidden away down the back roads right on the camel trail. Order the afternoon tea and you get cream tea as part of it. Homemade, tasty food. Can’t fault it! Highly recommend.

Cycling along the camel trail brought us to this very lovely small cafe near Wenford. It was raining and a crowd was gathered there. But everyone was served, the grub and the coffee were lovely. The staff were busy but still friendly and as efficient as they could be.

I was one of a group of approximately 20 who stopped for refreshments latish afternoon after a walk. I found the place delightful and very much liked the ethos of the cafe. I only had an ice cream which is why I do not feel I can give more than very good for the restaurant rating. Some of my friends had tea, cake and scones and all seemed delighted with everything. Staff very helpful and friendly. The menu had good choices. The flowers/planters are a lovely touch. There were some toys for young children to play with which is also a very thoughtful thing to provide. I'm keen to make another visit to try the food - maybe with a bicycle next time to explore more of the Camel Trail.

We found this place last year through trip advisor, and our first port of call this year for breakfast... absolutely fantastic food... its not quick service but it’s all cooked to order. Good strong coffee and the elderflower cordial is a must...

Stopped by Ona drive to whatever was this direction or that direction.

The snail pace cafe was warm friendly cafe with delicious food! The staff were very welcoming and the place had a lovely family friendly feel! The food was delicious and nutritious with lovely cakes for a treat too! The snail pace cafe is set in an idealistic setting with a chance to have a lovely walk or ride along the trail or you can just sit and enjoy your food and drinks in this lovely setting! Will recommend to all my family and friends!! And will be visiting again very soon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️beautiful location , fabulous menu , super friendly helpful staff , I urge anyone on the area to get down there and try any of the honest tasty home cooked delights . We went as a party of 8 on a hen weekend and had the afternoon tea and cake option in the garden in the sun ... fresh crusty doorstep sarnies with fabulous tasty fillings and s selection of scrumptious home baked cakes and scones ..... oooh yeah what’s not to like

Visited in October and breakfast was excellent. In May the food was not as good, fried eggs were nearly cremated. Hope this was just a one -off

Cycling along the camel trail we hadn’t planned to stop here but ended up having to. Menu was only small but it all looked good, when it came out it was very good, fresh and tasty. We were expecting just a standard cafe but much better than expected!

We called in for tea and cake after our walk. The service was friendly and very efficient. I had a very moist very naughty brownie which was heaven! They were also happy to provide pints of water for us and a variety of other cakes which everyone enjoyed.

I came with my children who are sometimes a little loud, the cafe staff were very lovely with my children and very helpful and friendly. There food is delicious and cakes all baked freshly there.

We had the full English .. tasty but very ordinary to be fair and quite pricey .. staff friendly and in a lovely location .. the cakes looked very tasty

Hired some bikes from them. The bikes worked well but both their tandems were out of order sadly. The man was not too worried whether or not we wore helmets, suggesting a lack of care about his customers' safety, but was otherwise very helpful.

Took the dogs for a walk at wenfordbridge. Had a lovely walk so stopped of for coffee

First time for lunch here and we were not disappointed. Lovely fresh bread sandwiches made while we waited with great coffee too. A really nice place to start or end your Camel Trail Bike Ride.

Love the snail pace cafe because I brought a snail pace cafe T - Shirt that I wear all the time and I have given the snail pace cafe 5 stars and I Love the snail pace cafe so much

Fun and quirky cafe in an eco friendly hut. Books & magazines to read, good coffee and appetising cakes.

Ate lunch here a couple of days ago. Staff welcoming, friendly and professional; service fast and the food (a ploughman's salad with ham) was really good and fresh. Can't ask for much else, perhaps apart from a slightly larger selection, but then it is a small café! Thanks again

Stumbled across this little gem almost by accident. Great place for a breakfast , good choice and good quality produce. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Although I wasn't on a bike it really is an excellent stop along the Camel Cycle Route. They offer bike cleaning, water filling and great local information.

We walked the camel trail with our dogs I hired a bicycle 🚲 and off we went had a lovely time the weather was lovely the chap hiring out the bikes was lovely and friendly definitely going back again

Stopped into Snails Pace whilst cycling the trail with my partner during our Cornish break, and we are so glad we did! All the staff were so welcoming and friendly, and were very impressed with the menu. The cafe has a lovely relaxed vibe, and is such good value for money. We started with a huge cooked breakfast before setting off with the bikes we hired from the cafe. The staff were happy to take time out to make sure we were happy with the bikes. We returned in time for tea and massive slices of cake (a perfect example of a coffee and walnut!) and left feeling relaxed and elated. Would highly recommend this cafe!

Cafe not busy. Ordered sandwiches and coffees. Prices a little on high side, but we were happy to a support local business. Coffee arrived but no sign of sandwiches. After 25 mins, mentioned this to staff in cafe, but were given an over the shoulder remark of its on its way, frowning! Our sandwiches arrived about 35 minutes after we had finished our coffee. We mentioned this to the member of staff and she said that was their practice to serve coffee immediately. If we wanted more coffee to drink with our food we could order more, but this was chargeable! The attitude was not friendly, but challenging. A little embarrassing for us as we were amongst friends who had rated this cafe quite highly...until now!!! Sorry to say, but we don’t want the same to happen to us again so will look for another small local business to support, but do wish you well for the future.

My husband and I cycled the Camel Trail and at the very end of the trail stood Snails Pace. We didn't like the look of it from the outside but there was nothing else about so we went in. When we went in we soon realised that you should not judge a book by its cover and were impressed with the menu. The food was was generally locally sourced, cooked from scratch and they catered for many types of dietary requirements. We ended up having Davidstow Cheddar and Chilli Relish Sandwiches. My husband had the carrot cake and he said that it wad the best carrot cake he had ever had and I had a scone which was equally delicious. Including the coffees the bill was £22 so it was good value for money as well. Overall we had a good experience and would happily recommend Snails Pace.
