Springtide in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We ate here last night, whilst on holiday in Charlestown. Cosy fish restaurant. Great views if weather is kind to sit outside. We had the mackerel to start. I had I’d say the best fish chowder I’ve ever had. And my husband had a special of Mackerel. It’s not cheap, but the food is great,the fish is fresh so therefore I think it’s value for money. Very delicious.

I had been recommended to eat at Springtide by several locals so when we were down in Cornwall recently we gave it a try. I am so glad we did. We went for lunch one Saturday. The food was excellent, good portion sizes and reasonable prices, the service so friendly, a good atmosphere with tables well spaced. The only pity was it was not quite warm enough to sit outside on the terrace overlooking Charlestown harbour. Hopefully we get to do that next time as we will we will definitely return.

Beautiful food , great pleasant staff would highly recommend. We had the catch of the day which was Hake with broccoli ,courgette and new potatoes absolutely delicious. You can sit inside or out overlooking the harbour. A very special meal we will remember.

Beautiful location in picturesque Charlestown. We had a lovely evening - the staff were attentive. The food choices were good and wine lovely. Not too crowded and tables not too close together. We came on holiday to this part of the world to sample the seafood and SpringTide did not disappoint.

We stumbled across this gem whilst looking for a bite to eat… we had seafood chowder, calamari & fries to share between 2. This was perfect as a lunch portion… food & drinks were delicious and the staff were super friendly!⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were on holiday in the area and chose this restaurant from the consistently excellent Tripadvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. I booked in advance, and was glad I did, as despite being a Sunday evening it became very busy. For starters we had crispy Parma ham with chargrilled asparagus, and salt and pepper calamari with seaweed salt onion rings, which were all perfectly cooked and not greasy. For our main courses we had the New England Style and Mariniere seafood chowders which were delicious. Overall, the service was very good. However, a special mention goes to Holly our main waitress who was great, providing a fun friendly efficient helpful service. We ate outside overlooking the quaint harbour, and Holly kindly provided us with a blanket, as it got rather chilly. We would eat here again if in the area.

Another visit whilst visiting family in Cornwall. Came for lunch and it was absolutely delicious as it always is. We always book a meal or two whilst we are here. Never had a bad meal! Service always very good and lots of specials to choose from. Thank you once again Springtide.

We booked a table at Springtide whilst on holiday in Cornwall as the reviews were really good. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance.. Food was simply amazing and the service was brilliant!! Would definitely recommend!!

My wife & I had lunch, a lovely experience with attentive staff and well presented food, I would highly recommend you visit.

Love this place, food is delicious, friendly staff, nothing a chore, calamari so tinder and tasty, we also had chowder marinere and pork belly. Could find no fault, would highly recommend, it gets very busy after 7pm. Honestly better than most places in Charlestown.

This is a fabulous restaurant, a nice selection of drinks and cocktails, the food was amazing, they even took the step to modify a dish for my egg allergic daughter. Our dog was welcome, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had a most wonderful evening last night at Springtides, which is one of our very favourite restaurants in Cornwall. The food is fantastic (our favourite dish is the Calabrese mussels), and the friendly and attentive service by David and his team is second to none.

Served buy Claire and bex had a loverly meal and always gett quality service we go to springtide a couple times a week and recommend the food and the service 100% and can't forget robalways fi is time to say hello

Amazing perfect service smiles and beautiful tasty Sunday lunch. We are going back for more this week. We don’t want it too busy so don’t go if you read this review until after the 19th Feb 24

Great food (especially the calamari & mackerel fish specials!). We had great service, & was a great venue! Will defo come back 😊

It was one of those days in life when comfort is all. Having visited Springtide at the end of last year, the first thing I wanted to do when I arrived back in Ozzle was take a brisk appetite-inducing walk to Charlestown with the Mister and snuggle up at Springtide with a ginormous dish of their comforting Fruits Of The Sea Pie. Not only did we call last minute on an almost fully booked Saturday evening, but we were allocated what we now call 'our table' an hour later before the rush set in. I cannot thank all the staff and our gorgeous foodie Holly for making sure we received the comfort so needed with a liberal dash of compassion thrown in. We treated ourselves to starters which were divine. I could have cried just sampling the mackerel on the specials board served with something yummy involving Nduja and Coconut cream. Plus the Mister couldn't get enough of the salt and pepper calamari with crispy chilli, lime and miso mayo. Proper job! Thank you.

Went for the Sunday roast. Can’t fault it in any way. The beef is low and slow and melts in the mouth. Same for the pork. Efficient and friendly service and buzzing atmosphere.

We had an early evening meal. A warm welcome, beautiful space and decor, and the most wonderful food. This place is a real gem.

We booked in advance for Sunday lunch, which we have had in the past and was excellent Unfortunately on arrival on the 31st December- a Sunday-! we were informed only when we were seated and had been presented with the ordinary mid week lunch menu, that Sunday lunch would only be available the next day - a Monday…. We declined to stay as the menu was nothing like the Sunday one and went elsewhere I have given the restaurant an average rating as we have eaten well there in the past, but today we were very disappointed The restaurant should have made this clear on booking

We have had Sunday lunch here a few times and every time the food and service has surpassed our expectations. Great attentive service the staff are always on hand with recommendations and are so polite. I would highly recommend the Springtide for a great dining experience at a good price

The main menu and specials board offered a wide range of choices. All our meals were made with fresh produce and the whole experience was excellent including a light and airy ambience and friendly staff. If we are ever in the area again then this would be our first choice and we would definitely recommend it.

OMG the food here is AMAZING 🤩. I can't begin to describe how good the seafood chowder was. The beautifully firm fish, the local mussels, the earthy roast new potatoes all layered in a creamy bacon laden chowder. It was superb. Husband had the fruits of the sea fish pie. How can they get so much seafood in one pie dish and then top it off with golden feta mash. The gambas to start weren't bad either. Service was excellent in a busy restaurant, friendly, attentive and efficient. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Springtide's Fruits Of the Sea Pie. Simply superb! Homemade, healing, piping hot and just perfect for a cold Winter's day in Kernow. Classic comfort food cooked to perfection and comprising St Austell Bay mussels, prawns, smoked haddock, market fish, herbs, grilled potato mash and a feta top served with a side of steamed greens. Wonderfully homely venue with friendly, welcoming staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. The customer service could not be faulted. Thank you Holly. And thank you Chef!

A great place to eat dinner and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were good asking about foods that I had issues with, they made this very clear to the kitchen staff as well. Very caring, professional and helpful.

Random find for our last lunch of a few days in Cornwall. Picked it up on TA…….what a lucky strike. On Specials were Tiger Prawns Piri Piri……and Monkfish Satay. We went for both……..prawns were delightful, really fresh and full of flavour. However, star of the show was the monkfish! It arrived looking totally different to what we were expecting, monkfish isn’t normally served on the bone as it’s such an unattractive fish. We thought it would arrive a little curry like, filleted chunks in sauce. Wonderful whole tails for both of us, satay sauce ready applied, Asian vegetables, sticky rice and some light soy sauce to add. Just truly wonderful…….don't think I’ve ever had so much monk on one plate. Enjoyed every bite. A lovely meal……..enhanced by the organic Verdejo. Thank you, we’ll be back.

Had high expectations as the reviews were so good. It was a nice meal. Between us we ordered cockles & scraps (these were quite greasy) & calamari which was nice. The mussels were really good but the lemon sole was small & very boney. The...

A good menu and specials board. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and attentive. A lovely light and airy building which is dog friendly. Would recommend a visit

This is quite frankly the best sea food I have ever had. We went as a couple visiting from Weymouth for the weekend. I would come back just for this place! Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! I had calamari to start and muscles main, partner had muscles...

We went with family who live nearby. They hadn't been under the new ownership. We saw good reviews so were hoping for a nice relaxed lunch with family who we hadn't seen for sometime. The food itself was fine - indeed the mussels and whole...

This was an accidental visit, but by far the best meal out of our holiday. The local mussels were out of this world and the rest of the meal was just as delicious. Service was excellent and we will definitely be back!

Despite a wet & windy day we had a lovely meal at SpringTide. We chose seafood and was not disappointed. The mussels and mackerel were gorgeous. The staff and service was very efficient and friendly. The restaurant is spacious and on a good day has...

Lovely seafood restaurant - we really enjoyed it. The food was tasty, fresh, well priced and the staff were lovely. They accidentally brought out a starter we didn’t order, but apologised and let us keep it and took it off the menu. We will be...

Went to Springtide for the first time today as an extra birthday treat for daughter. Staff excellent and very friendly. Nicely decorated and lite well and lovely atmosphere with tables spaced out nicely and great to see decent paper napkins on tables too. Can opt...

Have visited before when it was "Wreckers" and always enjoyed the food and general ambience. Heard that it had changed name in the last few years so wasn't sure what to expect. However, as great as it was before,feels like everything has kicked up a...

As my husband is not a great fish eater we had not tried this restaurant before. Various circumstances lead us to give it a try today. We were both pleased that we did. We had one of the best meals that we have had in...

The best meal we have had during our two weeks holiday Dog friendly great staff welcoming with a smile We went for the specials board and had cod loin on a bed of crushed potatoes and vegetables in a seafood sauce it was fantastic. Followed...

Lovely friendly staff who are really helpful. The specials board is always worth a look. Today they had local scallops with smoked bacon & chilli jam and Krispy kale. I've never had scallops or kale before but it sounded good, so I tried it. It...

From the beautiful setting, relaxed atmosphere, great service and unbelievable food - Springtide is probably one of the best seafood restaurants I have eaten in. Genuinely nothing to fault - the food is so fresh and I actually can’t recommend a certain dish as it...

Very friendly staff and ok atmosphere. Had a whitebait starter, poor, flaccid, not crisp and little taste. Chose sole as a main, fish was well cooked and tasty, potatoes and peas average. Good coffee.

Spring tide is a lovely restaurant in Charlestown by the harbour. The staff are friendly and offer great service. Fish is their specialty and they do some fantastic dishes especially the Mussels & Scallops

We had read good reviews about this restaurant and we certainly were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant had a bright but cozy feel. We chose starters and mains from the specials board and everything was delicious. Not cheap but...

A really nice meal on our first night. Staff were friendly and professional a couple of tweaks with the food and it would have been great, there was touch too much sauce on the sardines which sadly overwhelmed, and the broccoli and peas served on...

Happened to pass by on a Friday night, with 2 adults and 2 children. We were lucky enough to get a table outside. It’s a very lovely place, overlooking the harbour. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Had a lovely evening at Springtide. The food was delicious and the service was spot on. We were served by Maisie who was an absolute delight. She was very friendly and attentative and looked after us really well. The only fault was the dessert menu...

Lovely fresh fish experience. Partner tried the Lemon Sole for the first time and loved it. He had the scallops to start, said they were delicious. I had the Aranchini (yum!) and Cod. Best mushy peas I’ve ever tasted. Nice relaxing atmosphere, overlooking the harbour-...

Lovely lunch spent with friends. Dog friendly, we were inside as no room on the lovely outside deck but didn’t matter, inside was cooler. Good menu, drinks were served very speedily. We all had the crab roll which was lovely with pea shoots I think,...

Lovely atmosphere with attentive staff. Food was interesting and there was a kid’s menu. Starters could be doubled-up with fries added for a main. The grilled lemon sole was OK, felt healthy! My relative had it fried which was tastier. The pork ribs were apparently...

The staff seemed like nice people but in a bit miserable environment, so there was no joy in the slightest. Food lacked any spark or magic. £28 for the daily special? - sea bream - was under seasoned, bland and over oily. Very lame. Sardines,...

Food was very nice, all staff were really friendly, quiz night was a bit loud for us, great time had by all. Will need to go back and try some more of what they have for offer

best seafood have ever had, massive bowl of mussels, chips, just superb, the calamari was amazing... great service, great atmosphere, an amazing place to eat

Excellent service and amazing food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The choice of food was remarkable. Well done everyone.

Just had a fabulous meal at Springtide and would recommend 100%. Super service and delicious food. We shared scallops to start, which were amazing. And then my husband had a special sea bream dish which he loved, and I had the mussels mariniere which were...

A fish restaurant in a beautiful location of Charlestown. We had a crab arancini and prawn cocktail for starters. Crab was lovely but too much spice in the prawn cocktail sauce. Sea bream and mackerel fillets for mains which were both perfect. Service very good....

Excellent food, good atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. They gave us complimentary bubbly for our honeymoon. The catch of the day was very fresh and tasty, as were the mussels. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant, a great way to end our...

Called in without a booking for an early dinner and got a table for two before it got busy. So glad we did! The food was delicious, the staff were excellent & we loved the atmosphere and the view. We only had starters (tapas style)...

Very average and I cannot recommend. Staff were lovely, but service was disappointing. If this is the best restaurant in Charlestown, we will skip the rest.

Very speedy service, without sacrificing any food quality. Friendly smiley staff and thus very welcoming. I don’t know any names, but the lady with the green hair at the bar was very charismatic and kind. 10/10 definitely the best eatery in Charlestown

Lovely setting. The food was really good. The scallops and squid starter were tasty. Lobster main could have been better/bigger for the price, but that's just the way it is I suppose.

We’ve visited Charlestown several times but had not eaten in this restaurant before - and what a find! Beautiful inside and outside dining spaces and they found a lovely table for us immediately (some restaurants will seat families or those with dogs in a less...

When we arrived at the restaurant (family of four plus a dog), we were greeted with a smile and shown to our table. I must say the restaurant looked great, a real local fishing theme with pictures and genuine fishing equipment around the room. We...

We ate dinner here during a very busy holiday time service. Very well organized , lots of staff working very hard to deliver a great experience. Good range of fish dishes, all the ones we had were excellent,fresh and hot and served in good time...

I stopped in for drinks the other day. We were told we weren’t able to fit in but Sam on the bar managed to squeeze us in. We decided not to eat but this guy made us feel so welcome and made the best drinks....

Great friendly service , stunning fresh food and nice relaxing atmosphere. Best mackerel I’ve ever had. Gorgeous local mussels and prawn linguini was epic. Will be back

One of our regular haunts! Another lovely meal here to celebrate our friend Maralyn's birthday. Busy, but staff were great and coped incredibly well with being one chef down. Lovely starters followed by two Indonesian curry's and a superb Moules Marinere with big tasty mussels...

Sat outside, lovely view to harbour. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Starters of prawn cocktail and seared scallops were delicious and main courses of lobster and muscle linguine/fish and chips were Devine. Staff were good at recommending a wine to pair with the mains. Had...

Springtide was a new restaurant for us to try and I am so glad we did! From the booking in on line, messaging the restaurant with a query, service and menu everything was great and very professional. Two of us opted to have the moules...

The staff were very helpful, the food was delicious I was able to sit outside and enjoy the view of Charlestown while eating my meal. Fairly reasonably priced good amount of food.

Fantastic food , ambiance and staff - was a very wet evening and initially they couldn’t accommodate us but a cocktail later a table was free and we had a wonderful evening . We had booked a table for the following evening thinking we couldn’t...

Whilst staying in St Austell we decided to eat here as we both enjoy fresh fish . We were not disappointed, delicious, fresh food & friendly staff . Despite it being a busy Saturday night we were not rushed , would definitely recommend & revisit...

Food amazing, service amazing… what more can I say, will definitely be back. We loved the springtide experience.I want to say gabby was very helpful and accommodating to our needs as was all out the team! Will most definitely be revisiting

Can recommend without hesitation. We both really enjoyed our meals. Mackerel special was delightful and my wife enjoyed the linguini greatly. Don’t miss the chance to eat here.

We had the most beautiful date night at Springtide in June. Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere as soon as we arrived we felt like VIP's. Holly served us and nothing was too much for her, so fast and efficient without interrupting the romance 🥰 The...

I nearly gave this Restaurant 4 Stars and a Very Good Rating and it is a shame that just one dish let them down. Starters were perfectly acceptable. Fish and Chips mains were great, lovely pieces of Cod and Batter was Crispy, just how it...

We cannot fault this restaurant; it was superb. The food was so beautiful, fresh and well presented....and so were the staff. Indeed the staff helped make this a wonderful birthday occasion. Al were so helpful and polite...and happy. The next time we are near Charlestown...

Visited Springtide as it’s sister restaurant The Longstore was full. Lovely food, all well cooked Staff, overworked and a few more are needed during the busy times. I /we would happily return later in the year!

Probably the best mussels I’ve had in years, top quality food would recommend to anyone into seafood. Great staff and really friendly.

Disappointing. The service was slow, however when the staff did interact with us it was friendly and helpful. We had a lengthy wait for our food, especially considering we were the first table to be served during the lunch service. The wait for our meal...

Food fantastic and great value for money. We had the mackerel sandwich and fish finger sandwich from the lunch menu. Really tasty and generous portions. Lovely surroundings especially the terrace. Staff very friendly.

We have been here twice in 2022 and we were looking forward to this meal and again we were not disappointed. The service you get here is top class and the staff work so hard looking after you. The food is absolutely amazing I cannot...

A classic Cornish harbour side tourist restaurant. Booked through their nine system but on arrival it seems there was no record of or booking Still there were a number of empty tables so no problem. Food was good ( lemon sole ) even if rather...

The friendly staff at Springtide could not have been more lovely with our granddaughter and our dog. The food was divine. I had the best moules mariniere I’ve ever had anywhere, the fritto misto and the Cajun mackerel filets were outstanding. The non-fish lovers really...

A lovely place to have lunch with views of the sea, picturesque harbour and tall ships. Just required a lite lunch and my partner sampled the tomato and roasted red pepper soup whilst I had the local charred mackerel with chutney. We then decided to...

Best restaurant we ate in all week. Great customer service too. Mussels are juicy, plump and flavoursome, my prawn linguine was so tasty, piping hot and lots of prawns. Wine very reasonable too. Definitely worth a visit

Warm welcome, good food and good service. I liked the vegetarian curry, which was spiced to perfection. However, the bill was incorrect, so be warned! There are tables outside if the weather is warm enough

Had a fabulous evening meal here on Saturday. Food delicious, lovely staff and very prompt service. Have been a few times and always been spot on. Dog friendly too!

Superb in every way, four of us & our dog. Location, view, service & lovely food, all three courses & drinks served with a smile, would highly recommend, we will be back soon, can't fault it.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Spring Tide, I hadn't visited before but, wow! I've been here twice now for their amazing Roast Dinner. The beef literally just falls apart it's cooked perfectly. Both times, amazing. Everything is cooked perfectly, the service is always...

Brilliant welcome Brilliant service Brilliant food A must go for any seafood lover.. My wife and I have eaten in two of there restaurants this week and both are amazing

The food at springtide has so much flare, so fresh and super tasty! Slightly disappointed with the service- in busy times we have noticed drinks are very slow to arrive!

This is a composite review. We’ve visited for lunch 3 times so far this year. The first two times were great. Attentive service and well cooked, tasty food. It was out of season and there was no pressure on the staff.The mussels in particular are...

We've been here a couple of times with mixed experiences. Generally the food is very good here. I had a lovely, fresh crab sandwich the last time I visited for lunch. When we were here for an evening meal I had oysters to start followed...

The best seafood and fish pie I have ever tasted. Even asked for the recipe which the chef was willing to share. £1 goes to the seaman's mission too. Both of the other places we tried didn't have a table, just as well, in my...

Amazing food, fantastic cocktails and spot on service 👌 set in a beautiful typical Cornish harbour I'd happily return time & time again 👌

Probably one of the best value dinners I’ve had for a long time. Gambas followed by scallops and the golfer had frito miso and moules. The joy was the simple, perfect cooking, without too many ‘additions’ that generally detract from, rather than add to, the...

OUTSTANDING Excellent sea food, lovely helpful staff. Decor and position perfect. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Delicious. We had a selection of seafood starters to share and throughly enjoyed them. 3 specials - gambas, mackerel and mussels plus the mixed fried fish. So good for 2. The kids meals looked lovely. Mine aged 4 & 6, shared the battered cod and...

Absolutely delicious food, great service and wonderful location. Great menu with lots of wonderful seafood specials.

We had a wonderful meal. The mussels were outstanding- the best I’ve had in a long while. The staff were brilliant. The box of shells and book for our little girl was inspired. Thank you.

The restaurant was really quiet, not surprising on a Monday evening in March. It's sister restaurant the Longstore next door was however quite busy. This is a fish restaurant, and our food was very good indeed and I would recommend it to all. The service...
