The Bay Bar & Restaurant in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Friendly staff and quick service. Great food

Came here for a drink on a glorious Saturday afternoon and managed to score a seat outside! The staff were friendly and service was reasonably fast. Was surprised by the affordable prices considering the location. A great range of ciders would have been appreciated.

Visited the Bay on a recommendation the food was good fresh and tasty The service was with a smile and helpful I marked 4 stars for atmosphere as I felt it lacked slightly more pence especially with that fantastic sea front view Some patio heaters might be an option

Great coffee, lovely people and location x

Another great seafood dish at the Bay. Super friendly staff, fantastic chefm

Only popped in for a tea and coffee. Really excellent cappuccino and decaf tea that actually tasted like tea. Great service. Shame we were not stopping to eat as the food looked brilliant.

Really very good food (my skate was cooked to perfection), and for me, unexpectedly, as the last time I ate in Cawsand, it was pretty bad (before the Bay Hotel was built). The restaurant welcomed my mum's dog, and the staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Finally, the coffee was great, too. Another very pleasant surprise. Make sure you book on sunny days and relax with a cocktail too.

Great views of the beach and the breakwater, Bovisand in the distance too. Cremell ferry frequents too.

We were there on not a very sunny day, but still a very nice place to be. Staff also great

Very pleasant environment and staff, with lovely views across the sound.

Lovely place, great fresh food. I really enjoyed the market fish option, awesome. Lovely views too….so….why only the three star review. We were in there two hours which was lovely…..but in that time I had to ask for a second round of drinks, by going up to the bar, I would have have two more but got bored of trying to attract attention so had to settle for only the two drinks in two hours (we were a group of 10). Such a shame for a great place with great food, just needed a front of house. Had to ask for the table to be cleared and to look at the dessert menu…then waited 20mins for anyone to come over so did not bother ordering a dessert. The 9 month old baby, the 6 year old, fell asleep in the wait so not all bad (they missed out on their free icecream but they were not bothered). Well done to the kitchen, let down by the front office.

Went with family last night. Fresh fish was amazing and burger was meaty! Nice staff too

Lovely Food, Great Service even at very busy times.

Ate down here during the summer.Mazing view if eating outside.Staff were friendly and attentive.Good selection of local beers and some ciders.Food was great.Menu could do with a few more choices but what we had was amazing.

Really excellent food, friendly service & very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend!

The drinks were poured awfully, and the mayonnaise was disgusting. The KOREV tasted like soap. Fish and chips made me feel sick and my friends burgers were badly cooked and so dry. Service was ok and views were great but definitely don’t come here. Go to a local pub instead of this disappointment.

Lovely bar and restaurant overlooking Plymouth sound and the beach.

Although empty tables only possible by reservation. Then you shouldn't advertise yourself as a public restaurant.

Food beer and a view, what more do you want. Beer kept well, but this is not a Cornish pub, it is a bar.

The service was very poor. Extremely slow and felt like we were completely ignored by the staff for long periods. I will not be returning. The food was good, basic but ok although desserts are overpriced.

The calamari was awful ,no attempt to trying just taken from frozen packet . Really sad as such a nice place

We stopped in for a pint. Location, location, location. We sat outside and enjoy the ocean view. Lovely. I highly recommend this opportunity.

Live locally. Our go to place for watching the world go by with a nice coffee and cake.

Enjoyed a nice pint and hot Chocolate overlooking the beach.

Lovely fish restaurant with good service. Had the fish of the day and it was cooked and presented perfectly.

Came here with 3 friends last night. Great service and great food! Thank you! Also enjoyed the tequila!

We visited here a couple of times for drinks and one evening for food. The location is amazing, right on the beach front and they will serve drinks in cups you can safely take into the beach. There's also tables outside with fantastic views of the bay and inside is light and airy. The food was fantastic and we all had a selection of different dishes which were all served perfectly. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. Would 100% recommend it.

Popped in twice during our 3 day stay in Kingsand/Cawsand. Lovely place right on the seafront. Wide variety of really nice food and drink. Dog friendly. Our two dogs, Duke, an English Pointer and Winnie, a mini Daschund were made most welcome and really fussed over. Fed doggy treats as well. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful and they make The Bay Bar the happy, friendly place it is.

Called in for brunch whilst kayaking. Lovely food and welcome. Thank you

Very clean and well designed Stunning views looking out onto the sea. Staff were very polite nothing was a problem Food was good nice atmosphere

Lovely fish and chips Good views Very pleasant service

Gorgeous little place by the sea. Staff are super helpful and friendly. One of the most dog friendly places I've been too. Towels, blankets, water and treats all for dogs. Good prices also

Booked a table here for my birthday whilst staying in Kingsand. Very friendly staff and very welcoming. Lovely and spacious inside and a beautiful seating area outside overlooking the bay. Food was really nice, 2 of my family members ordered the muscles, the waiter on shift that evening (after speaking with the chefs) let us know the dishes wouldn't be full portions as selling out so discounted the meal accordingly which was great customer service. Overall a great place to eat, children and dogs very welcome, lovely friendly staff and set in a beautiful location. Would highly recommend.

Great food and service, lovely stop off on the SW coastal path.

Service was amazing,menu was great, atmosphere was really good. I am looking forward to going back

Always wanted to visit this little gem in Cawsand and it was worth the wait. Great atmosphere with a contemporary vibe and excellent knowledgeable staff with a great sense of humour made it an enjoyable experience. The food was amazing and we all loved every mouthful!

Excellent staff, exceptional chefs,great restaurant and beautiful view

Popped down here after an evening wander around Kingsand and Cawsand. The restaurant was great. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff combined with a lovely view over the sound. Food was excellent. Would recommend.

Love this place! The specials board is definitely something you need to eat from!!!

Best bar / restaurant in the area.

Amazing staff, we came in from a hike a sea swim and the staff offered up blankets and hot water bottles to warm up. They were very friendly. And they know how to pour a Guinness, definitely recommend!!

Great find,our first visit,great food service, and views,we will be back for more.

Food was absolutely fantastic, which is matched by the wonderful friendly service. It was a quiet day which suited us as we took our 18month old GSD rescue for her first indoor pub/restaurant visit along with our 11year old lab. We phoned ahead and the staff were only to helpful to sit us in an appropriate area. Definitely recommend, and will definitely be back in the near future.

Excellent meal and friendly service

Great customer service from Ryan

Great location for a Drink before ferry

Beautiful tranquility on the water

Food and staff here are lovely. Long waits for food as very busy restaurant and need more kitchen staff at peak times.

Always exceptional, a lovely place to get high quality food with an amazing view. The staff are lovely and we go here for most of our special occasions. And will continue to do so!

Can't beat the location. Our whole table had different seafood dish, all were very fresh and cooked perfectly. Loved the mussels.

Extremely good food, lovely location and very friendly and attentive staff.

Excellent service from very friendly staff and great views of the beach,bonus of being dog friendly.

Very rude chef shouting and swearing at the poor service people who were running around none stop, We sat by the kitchen and some of the stuff the chef was saying to the poor guy and gals was unbelievable, we finished our drink and decided to eat elsewhere,

Nice, trendy waterfront bar with exceptional service

Exceptional food. We had whitebait starters, then mains Lemon Sole and Mackerel. Dessert was a shared toffee pudding. Hawkes Bay albarino to accompany. Just fabulous food. Staff were attentive and friendly. Good access for disabled visitors, although.. as anywhere in Cornwall.. parking a challenge. Free parking in the car park just outside the village after 4pm. Highly recommended.

Beach, harbouring bar and restaurant in Cawsand Bay. You can eat in the sunshine, outdoors covered, or indoors behind large French doors. A wonderful place to relax with friends, family, and meet happy people. The food is good too!

Fantastic fish restaurant with beautiful view looking out over Cawsand beach. Had one of the chef specials which changes during the season... Megrim Sole... delicious!

Really great food, fresh fish and pub classics but at a much better standard than your usual pub fare. Friendly staff too.

Had a wonderful lunch here with my partner. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food came quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Very nice pub/restaurant 👌 fantastic views lovely staff warm welcome and bonus pooches allowed 😀

Lovely staff and place. Did not charge any of my drinks as the sandwich took just a little longer than usual. Great service, would definitely recommend!

Just had a superb evening,excellent and varied menu lovely fresh produce, the staff were all young and friendly and attentive, thoroughly recommended 👌

Just a lovely place to have a coffee and look out over the sea

I'm a bit of a fussy eater didn't want salad with the Fish Fingers they could not have been more accommodating and the Fish Fingers tasted beautiful

Lovly crab sandwiches and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great location and views too.

Lovely place. By far the best value for children in the village - meal, drink and ice cream for £8. Service was OK. Another pair of hands would have been better, with the poor man running around covering lots of tables but still attentive. Meals and drinks were spot on. Fish Finger sandwiches at lunchtime are massive - beware. 👍

Loved the setting. Food was excellent Service friendly Great spot when weather good

The food was disgusting and swimming in oil. The hummus was awful. The menu said had parmesan cheese on but not there. The pasta was under cooked and swimming in oil. It was replaced by squid in batter but too rubbery to eat. It seems they get customers because of the views but the food was absolutely awful. Recommend just going for a drink..

Lovely evening meal here. Great service. Friendly staff. Lovely views.

Popped in for a coffee to get out of the wind……an extremely warm welcome from all the staff……would have been perfect if we could have sat on the terrace but would have been blown away

Delicious food, friendly staff and beautiful views.

Lovely place and food very nice .. dog friendly

Visited venue for lunch, had to sit outside as all tables inside had been reserved. View of Cawsands beach was stunning as sun was out, despite windy weather. Had a beautifully prepared & presented homemade fish finger sandwich, served in granary bread with tartare sauce, salad & crisps. Also had a dish of chips to share which were splendidly crisp, light & piping hot, with an ice cold San Miguel beer. Truly tasty lunch & excellent service.

First time there, food was excellent staff were lovely and very friendly and helpful.

Great food with good choice for vegetarians and meat eaters. Good choice of drinks and the views from the restaurant are absolutely stunning. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant with great views and gorgeous food and the staff were lovely

We visited for coffee and cake on a Sunday morning. We sat outside with a great view of the cove, and enjoyed watching the dogs play on the beach as we sat. The outside seating did have vehicles passing through the middle a couple of times. Service was friendly and the cakes were good, especially the carrot cake.

We had a delicious evening meal in February. There were a few spare tables when we arrived but I would encourage you to book in advance. The staff were excellent; nice to chat with. Food arrived quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Keep in mind that this is also bar, which can affect the atmosphere.

Made to feel really welcome by all the staff. Had a lovely meal with my wife and daughter, including vegetarian options for her boyfriend.

Very nice spot of lunch whilst walking the coast path.

Không gian lãng mạn, phục vụ nhiệt tình, đồ uống ngon, rất đáng để trải nghiệm 🥰

Excellent service and the most amazing beef roast I have had in years

Want a little gem of a place view out to the bay dogs get there own matt and treats staff friendly food good we eat there 4 time over the week every thing we had was good 👍

Stylish modern bar and restaurant with an attractive, spacious interior and glorious views across Cawsand Beach, Cawsand Bay and Plymouth Sound from the terrace. Very friendly and efficient service and good quality food and drinks. Dog friendly.

Fantastic service and fantastic location.

A little pricey but good food, service and atmosphere.

Just went in for drinks...other half was shocked though at the cost of a glass of large wine but it was his birthday 🎂

Fantastic Xmas meal. Enough food on the plate to satisfy the largest of appetites. Too much for you? That's ok as they'll supply you with cardboard takeaway boxes. The staff were cheerful, welcoming and happy to help.

Fantastic food, fresh mackerel was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Excellent wine selection and all the staff are friendly, accomodating and chatty. Would definitely recommend and 100% will come back. Thank you for a wonderful birthday lunch

Lovely food great service with a great view

Having read previous glowing reviews we were really looking forward to eating at The Bay. Our experience was extremely disappointing. The only positive aspect was a particular professional and friendly waitress. Great spot for a drink overlooking the view. We wouldn't return to dine.

We were doing a "pub-circular" walk around Rame Head and the spectacular South West Coast path. We stumbled upon this bar unintentionally (we were looking for a traditional pub) but the position of this place lent itself to a mid-walk lunch with fantastic views! The food was good and the service was excellent. We sat outside but moved under cover when the next shower swung by but there was ample seating. I had a roast beef lunch "for the smaller appetite" and it was almost more than I could eat so expect generous portions! It's clearly a dog friendly place, even to the extent of having doggie treats given to accompanying dogs by the waitress! The place is quite modern and inside, the toilets were very clean.

Dog friendly, great Sunday roast with good views. Plenty of good walks nearby.

Pouring down with rain and too late for food, but made very welcome, including our extremely wet dog! two lovely cups of coffee were provided in no time at all, plus water and treats available for the dog. So nice.Staff pleasant and helpful and lounge and bar clean, comfortable and warm. A thoroughly enjoyable visit.

This is a place we found by accident and we are so glad we did!!!....the service and the food were both fantastic...we'll be back next year guy's!!!

Nice place for a coffee right overlooking the small beach and the ferry from Plymouth. Staff could be more friendly, almost thew the coffees down on the table. Our response was she enjoys her job! Apart from that still a good spot .

Really friendly and speedy service. Great vegan options - I had a vegan chicken sandwich, very tasty. The rest of the menu looked great too

Really good food well cooke and presented

It was really lovely, fantastic food And terrific staff
