Terry's Tasties Snack Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Stopped for lunch which was excellent. Had a large cheeseburger with all the trimmings and a nice cappuccino. Good value as well. In addition to the lovely meal the two charming ladies serving couldn't have been more helpful; including giving my noisy dachshund some tasty sausage! Thank you and I will certainly be back.

Amazing breakfast wrap and the lady who served me even let me have some of her own personal honey stash for my coffee. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic service. Forgot my bank card & didn't have cash available I though I was going hungry, however they have an option to bank transfer . I asked for a large egg roll and it was ready in a heart beat. Cooked to perfection & tasted amazing. Would highly recommend 👌.

Excellent food and great service,ideal place to stop for breakfast or lunch ,highly recommend,fresh and tasty food,locally sourced,will certainly be calling again when in the area,

My “Go to” spot during my frequent business trips to Cornwall. Always friendly with a smile, sardonic wit and a good bit of banter. Decent roadside grub at a fair price. Kept many drivers going over the Pandemic, there’s not many little snack stops like this left, it’s all “Costalot” and “Maccy D’s” I would rather use Terrys. Can specifically recommend Emma’s Tofu and Quinoa surprise burger. Served on a bed of Rocket, with a Pea Foam drizzle and a Quince Jus. Utterly divine! Great ladies, lovely scoff.

Nice polite service, food excellent and good value. Service with a smile all food freshly cooked the burgers are really yummy

Excellent food shack. Good quality very well priced food and great service. I have been going here regularly for a few months and the standard is constantly high.

If you don't stop here for a breakfast bap or a pasty then you are seriously missing out on a treat for your taste buds and stomach.

Run by two very nice and pleasant ladies, food quality excellent and cooked as you want. Also they sell Helluva pastys (yummy). Definitely recommended

Started stopping here regularly as they have been providing an invaluable service to truckers and delivery drivers heading into Cornwall. Always somewhere to park and best of all a nice smile from the ladies who run it. They sell Etheringtons Pasties, which are the nicest in Cornwall and also do a decent Cheese Melt. Prices are fair, service is good and a sure sign, it is always busy. The best roadside "Oasis of Scoff" I have found in Cornwall. Nice one Ladies, keep it up. The Sausage Dog Guy.

Food cooked to order so all very fresh and hot. Had a little wait as a few people before us but absolutely sort it. Had a huge bacon, sausage and egg bap. Was delicious. All measures in place for a safe eating experience. Toilets available. Will definitely stop here again soon!

Swung by rather later than normal, but happy days - they are open until 4.30 (monday to thursday) during November. So I could have a brew after all. Highly recommended.

Travelling down with the family, was going to stop at Route38 but was told there was better down the road. For a layby van the food was great, local meats quick service with a smile and priced properly, glad I went there instead of paying silly money for badly cooked "American" food!

Friendly clean food stop on the A38. I’ve been stopping there when passing for the last 5 years. Terry and Emma always have a warm welcome. ******

Absolutely love this place, if you just fancy a mug of tea,a sandwich, an all day breakfast, burger or even sweet chilli chicken then it's a must. Food A1, service with a smile & prices are bang on, definitely give this place a go.....

If you are on the A38 westbound in SE Cornwall and need a pitstop, its well worth trying this one. Between the Menheniot and Looe junctions just outside Liskeard, the food is great with a nice cuppa and a friendly welcome.

Not sure whether there have been significant changes, maybe not complete, or even a change of ownership or staff. Called in this morning for a hot drink and bite only to find no Terry’s Tasties signage, a lot of peeling paint on the old metal container and also associated wood. There seems to be a new menu sign and the old large notice proudly referring to home made pasties has been replaced by one explaining its now Rowe’s Bakery pasties. There was a fair bit of commercial traffic parked up but no one inside while I was waiting. All a bit disappointing, but who knows, everything may have been tweaked for the better and it has not put me off stopping by for a large mug of tea and a plateful when I next pass.

Depends what your interpretation of a good burger is? This is a clean, well run stop off tucked away in a lay by on the A38 going westbound just before Liskeard. You could call it a burger van with a small add on eating shed. Granted the menu offers a bit more in choice than the normal van experience and you do get more confidence that hygiene and cooking methods are more upmarket. What disappointed me a little was the burger. To be honest it was nothing different than the normal low grade catering burgers you usually find outside football grounds. Ok, it's a lay by stop off and what should I expect? I realise that and I have no criticism of what I paid for, just feel some of the glorified reviews on here gave me an impression it was going to be a different upmarket experience to the normal burger van offering, no disrespect, it wasn't. Nothing wrong with it for a straight forward hot snack though and it's reasonably priced for Cornwall.

Having seen someone on Facebook recommend this wagon, we had to try for ourselves. What a great set up. Lots of food to choose from and you can sit inside too! We both had cheeseburgers which were really nice and a lovely strong cuppa.

Cada vez nos aventuramos a Cornwall, que es bastante a menudo siempre tratamos y parada para un pasty, que ha sido dos veces este año. Nunca nos ha decepcionado. Carne tierna adecuada y rodajas cornish empanadas de verduras en preciosa pastelería, simplemente estupendo!

Called in for a very tasty burger. 10 times better than your usual McD's. A proper mug of good strong tea, and very friendly service makes it a good place to visit. Loos next door are surprisingly clean for a lay-by!

A menudo llamada allí por un café y un bacón bocata rápido o dos. Limpio, agradable, sorprendentemente ligero. El dueño hace que todo el mundo se sienta bienvenido y en parte a un establecimiento muy interesante. Las conversaciones más fascinantes suceder aquí que en el club de la BBC en Broadcasting House. Una buena compañía y buena relación calidad-precio.

Freindly service , good hygeine score, clean,and well cooked food all you need to break your journey, and clean public toilets close by.

Return from day out we pop in for quick bite we had chips and burger,hotdog it was excellent very enjoyable value for money.

Simple the best,we stop way back home for quick bite,we had hot dog it was best testy I ever had I wasn't expecting that people should try this well done.

Just average food from a snack van which is overpriced for the quality of food and drink available but ok if in a rush

Simple brash and efficient. Not quit speedy grab and go but almost, although you might find yourself drawn into a friendly chat with the chef lady and the other punters.

El Trioadvisor app móvil celebró este lugar cuando necesitaba un bocadillo rápido pero grave en mi camino al extremo oeste. Era acogedor rápido y el servidor de Cook corto trabajo de una gran hamburguesa un impacto contra un vagón estacionado con extras. Eso y la taza de té fuerte me dejaron recarga para un día pesado. Recomendado.

Muy satisfechos con el servicio y la relación calidad-precio cuando nos detuvimos aquí en nuestro camino a través Cornwall. Un poco de la vivienda cuando el viento o la lluvia hace la vida difícil.

Stop here several times a year. Have even taken advantage of phoning ahead so that grab hot snacks and drinks can be picked up with almost no delay. Still like calling in for say a twenty minute break breakfast or lunch time. Tasty hearty good value and above all friendly. Recommended.

Unconventional restaurant review subject but it is worth it. Very busy layby with big yellow converted metal container. Steady trade, quick cooking and fresh tasting ingredients, good tempered punters (despite the handwritten sign warning against unguarded use of earthy language), and an outgoing personality of the lady who does everything. Warning, closes early afternoon and maybe not very much if at all at weekends.

Steady as she goes. Constant trade. Easy safe stop off on the route down into a Cornwall. All freshly cooked but now doing pasties. Two sizes when I called a couple of weeks ago.

Much better than average snack stop made from a converted shipping container. You can phone ahead if you are very short of time. Interior space avoids having to stand in severe weather. Needs more photos.

Big layby right on the A38. Usually busy. Bright yellow box is greasy spoon snack bar. Mostly counter trade but stools and ledges inside. Lively loquacious lady does the welcoming and the cooking. Seems to have a robust view on everything so no fear here that you might be left with nothing to chat about. Wide selection of predictable but well cooked priced and quickly served food and drink.

We knew it used to close not long after two but thought we'd heard that it had pushed that back to four or five for the mid summer. Sadly our presumption was wrong and all we found was the neatly locked up yellow cabin. No further food till the Halfway House near Trago which is not remotely the same. We score high again for an intervening visit when it was open at midday a fortnight ago and the service was as good as ever.Wish there was a web site so we could keep track.

Beware closes soon after 2pm. Friendly efficient lay by snack cafe in a portacabin! Bright yellow. Always a crowd in good spirits. Food served as quickly as anywhere.

one of those odd things. we were heading for the north coast, had missed breakfast and stopped without really deciding beforehand. surprising little place. doing a roaring trade, lorries white vans families and just single drivers. very welcoming. obviously fresh, in so far as these things can be. friendly lady serving and presumably cooking. good fun crowd at the window and inside. convenient toilets close by. just felt like a fun break.

Like this roadside snack stop and been coming regularly for years. Busy but efficient during main hours. Just wish that they would do what often happens in other well established places,which is to accept mobile phone orders. We drive to Truro and west Cornwall a lot, usually very pressed for time. If we could phone ahead with an order for our burgers or sandwiches and takeaway teas it would make a lot of difference. Not quite the Lewis Hamilton 7 second pitstop but three rather than ten minutes would be a bonus. Must say though, no complaints whatever about the food efficiency and friendly hospitality here.

Pity Tripadvisor won't upgrade the photo to the appear when you scroll through the Liskeard listings because this is a distinctive feature as you drive up or down this stretch of the A38. We like Terry's because of the invariable helpful friendly and efficient traditional welcome. The food maybe the usual selection but as with favourite places it always seems to be that little bit more tasty. We stop here not just because Terry's is good but this is a big safe lay by, there are proper public lavatories and there are almost always a good bunch of other eaters which gives company to chat. Like it. And of course there is inside if wet or blowy!

On way down to Cornwall for trip out of city after having had a few night before! Stopped off at this place to get some fuel. Great service, friendly ladies who were up for a laugh and great food. Cheered me up and filled me up!! Would recommend a stop off if going past!

You may not spot it at speed as you pass it west bound on the A38 and if you heading towards Plymouth you may think that the complication and dangers of doubling back are not quite justified but once you know that this place is here and that you can slip in for use of the public convenience as well as stopping by a very efficient and friendly snack bar then you will find that it is probably the best option for many miles in either direction..

Wish I had taken some snaps. Needs to be seen. Reliable hot food on the move. Friendly and usually busy so always someone to talk to. Feel safer here than in a lot of other laybys often too close to fast roads. Like the yellow.

Travel the spine of Cornwall often. Right on the A38. This little place is perfectly adequate and sometimes fun. Large numbers of big wagon and other drivers stop here which gives it a bit of bustle. Usual fried food and more.

Surprised but happy to find this on Tripadvisor. Always realisable. Basic food quickly done and prices OK. Friendly and often lorry drivers and others to chat to.

On the west bound side of the A38 a mile or so short of Liskeard is a busy lay-by with lavatories and a constant stream of lorries coaches and cars. From about seven in the morning till mid afternoon a bright yellow transport container is open as a snack bar. A great hole/servery cut into one side and the interior converted into a slightly foreboding cafe area. All the usual offerings, eggs burgers bacon sausages cheese etc naps and sandwiches with large hot and cold drinks served by friendly staff in coordinated yellow tops. Nothing exciting but fast friendly and an oasis in the desert. Last option before Trago and the A30.
