The Clipper in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

It's great! It's a building site. Amazing new things coming...... Watch this place evolve. 🙃

Lovely food big portions. Very nice service and surroundings. Good prices and good menu. Definitely worth a visit

Truly awful and overpriced coffee despite excellent location on the harbour . £10+ for 2 cappuccinos and an OK flapjack is pretty steep and may have been easier to swallow had the coffee been any good. Avoid.

Excellent food and perfect service by Cathy. We were blown away by how delicious the food was right next to the harbour for a decent price. Cathy went above and beyond to make sure we had whatever we wanted and checked on us to make sure we were happy with food. The only tiny criticism I could give is that the outdoor seating is very crammed-in, we had to move the table to squeeze in. Everything else was absolutely spot on.

Really impressed with this little place on Padstow harbour waterfront. Had gorgeous cream tea & glass of bubbly for my birthday! and fresh tuna&cheese sarnie.

Needed lunch and this didn't disappoint. Wanted crab sandwiches when we sat down but discovered jacket potato with white crab only. What a feast came, it was wonderful,just too much to finish. The thirst quencher juice was lovely and did just that what a great blend of juices. The waitress said it was their first day after reopening, service was a little slow but well worth waiting for and the price was great. What a lovely holiday find, just wished we lived closer.

We went here on a rainy day in Padstow with a family. The place has a brilliant location, with views over the harbour. Service was good and the food was fine (not brilliant but okay).

Like the other places we have so far visited in North Cornwall, we were not spoilt for choice when it came to finding somewhere to eat. Chose the clipper mainly because of the good selection on the menu. Sat on the front patio area which is very cramped, my chair legs where within an inch of the edge. Friendly waitress took our order of chilli, curry and an all day breakfast. Arrived a short time later. Food was ok, my breakfast was plentiful but strange tasting and I'm not fussy by any means, the sausages I could not eat as they had a very strange taste. The chilli was clearly straight out of a tin, curry was nice enough but the accompanying rice was in large clumps rather than fluffy. We all ate our meals but wouldn't go back or recommend.

Went here today with my Mum and Dad. Great location in the heart of Padstow town centre with friendly and professional staff. However, knocking a star off due to clumps of rice rather than fluffy rice with my curry. Apart from that, I highly recommend this place for the vast menu choice.

Had the best tasting crab sandwich ever served on lovely fresh bread & garnish of crisps & salad Good pleasant service too.

My wife and I visited The Clipper and ordered a pot of tea for two and two 'toasted teacakes with butter'. We were surprised that the teacakes arrived already 'buttered'. as soon as we tasted them we realised why...margarine not butter. I approached the waitress and said that the butter tasted 'off'. She replied quite openly and said that it was not butter but a margarine/spread and that's how the teacakes came. I replied saying that the menu clearly said 'butter'. The waitress said that it didn't matter and that no one had ever complained before. The look on her face showed that she was simply lying. I waited for an apology or acknowledgement that the restaurant was wrong to do this without success. Perhaps I should have refused to say but was still charged the exorbitant full about of over £11. The Clipper can expect a visit soon from 'Trading Standards'. What a dreadful place. And to make matters worse I'm embarrassed BECAUSE I AM CORNISH and LOCAL.

Ordered the fish and chips and tasted really good. Friends ordered burgers and chips and they enjoyed their meals. Reasonably priced in comparison to other places nearby. Service was good and friendly. Would recommend.

Due to Covid the restaurant had limited space. Having read previous critism from way back I had to disagree. The service and food was excellent as it was about 40 years ago when we visited for 10 years or so in succession with our young sons. There was a large family group while we were there yesterday and they all seemed happy. I suppose you can't please everyone all the time but we were very pleased.

Sea view, local staff, not a celebrity chef in sight - moules marinière for £8.95 watching the sunset over the harbour - Devine. Great food,great value for money going into the pockets of great people. See you in July

Worst coffee and worst cake ever eaten in 60 years. Chocolate Brownie rock hard, pure sugar and tainted with cleaning fluid taste. Coffee from machine. Expensive.

I had the fish pie it comes with chips or potatoes , side salad. My partner had baked potato,with beans,it also had a side salad. We both enjoyed our meal,it was freshly made,good size portions. Value for money ,considering the prices in Cornwall. The place is clean,staff nice.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. excellent service would highly recommend. Although there is limited seating.👍

we were served by donna and sophie, both nice ladys.baked tates with coleslaw and salad.cream teas after, all very nice.l looked at some bad reviews , but we would go back again, which says it all.

Although the Pub is not fully open at the moment, the Cafe around the front is lovely. Always a friendly welcome and very accommodating Staff. The quite extensive menu is more then adequate for a snack or more if you wanted. Highly recommend a visit when you are in Padstow.

We popped in for a lovely lunch. The staff were nice and so was the food. Views of the harbour made this a super place to eat.

Very very cramped . To the extent it’s uncomfortable.it’s not very covid friendly unfortunately ordered two 9 pound breakfasts that where ok in truth , but also ordered a coke and a coffee . But the Coke came in a small glass your get orange juice in , was flat and tasteless ! The coffee came with milk all ready . Not very good as was super milky . Also I don’t get how it came to 27 pound ? Expensive beverages if that’s the case and they where the biggest fail . Try harder next time

we have used this before and food has always been ok , we had been made aware of the place not having a good reputation but never had any issues , tbh only really went in as a last resort but i have to say i was impressed by the service and food complete with a view of padstow harbour 2 x scampi 1 x kids chicken nuggets and 1 x prawn and crab salad , the three std meals were well cooked and plenty of it , the prawn and crab salad far exceeded expectations PLENTY of crab meat and prawns and one large crabs leg , salad was fresh crunchy and varied

Covid seating arrangement was cramped but better than nothing. The huge indoor restaurant was cordoned off. Good amounts of food. The hot chocolates, homemade cakes, cream teas and fresh (hot) baguettes are a must. The chicken & bacon salad is also great with a fantastically laid out salad. Visited 24 & 28 Oct 2020

Better than nothing. It was raining heavy and everywhere was full so ended up here. Very cramped and not really sure it was COVID secure but as we got tucked in the corner stayed. The coffee was terrible. Tasted like warm watered down milk with a dash of instant coffee. The food was edible but that was as positive as I can be. Expensive too. Would avoid next time I think.

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat for lunch. The sandwiches were tasty with decent portions and the service was really quick. Also fairly reasonably priced. The cafe however is very cramped and I didn’t feel comfortable eating inside so close to other customers with the current covid situation. We chose to eat outside instead. I can’t imagine the closeness of the tables would be signed off under the Covid 19 regulations around social distancing. We probably wouldn’t have chosen to eat here if other places had had availability but we had a pleasant enough snack.

Stopped for lunch , we both chose the soup of the day , which was tomato and basil, with a cheese and ham sandwich. Should have ordered one sandwich between us, however we were hungry, everything was so tasty . We ended our meal sharing a slice of the Bakewell tart , absolutely delish. Lots of choices on the menu too. We left feeling very happy

Clippers is in a perfect location with a beautiful view of the sea. The staff are really friendly & the service is really quick! The staff really stuck to the Covid-19 rules, keeping their distance, remembering to do Track & Trace & wearing their masks.The food was really tasty and reasonably priced! We really enjoyed it and would definitely go back if we go to Padstow again!

On a visit to Padstow, this coffee shop on first impressions just appealed to me in every way . We waited outside for a table to come available. There are 4 tables outside on terrace but for me it was just a tad too chilly . There are 3 ladies serving, 2 of them was smart and friendly and an absolute asset to such a beautiful coffee shop , it very much saddens me to say that the third lady was the weakest link . No smiles , spoke to customers rather abruptly and lowered the jolly vibe in the restaurant. The food was amazing and came out pretty quickly . I loved my experience in Clipper and I will give it 5* stars . Well done to the two wonderfully friendly, professional ladies . Don’t let one bad apple ruin your cider

Fantastic Food and Service was amazing with lovely friendly staff. It was that cracking rather than eat in our Hotel we went back on Three nights as it was that good. All Homemade at The Clipper by an amazing chef and lovely lady. Also i have to say the portion size was huge and we left stuffed.Great Price for food in Padstow as looked at others and for what you get this place is amazing. Hope to see you all again soonThanks to The Clipper and Amazing Staff you made our Holiday x Trace and Neil Cotswold Edge Golf Club x x

Had an excellent lunch- chicken and bacon salad was huge and fish and chips excellent, Black Forest gateaux was amazing! Service by Donna was first class. First place in Padstow we’ve been in to ask for track and trace details. Im sorry to read such poor reviews.

We decided to stop at this restaurant on our evening walk around Padstow. The meal selection was varied and it was in a lovely position.The service was excellent and the food was nice. We enjoyed the sea bass and the ribs.Good meal for a good price with an amazing view.

Called in here when we had a few hours In Padstow. We had a cream tea which was a bit dearer on what we normally paid, but it was excellent. It was very busy in Padstow in the area which included the cafes, yet there was only a couple of people in this one.

A group of us went in this restaurant the young lady that waited on us was pleasant. But as for the coffee we ordered lattes and they were very bitter and I’m pretty sure were made with water not milk. I had the madras which was awful. I complained and didn’t have to pay for it. But we should of realised it wasn’t up to much as the restaurant was completely empty. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was just awful.

7 of us went in. Place was very cold. Lattes were disgusting tasted like they were made of water not milk, very bitter coffee. Some of Food was average. But madras curry was terrible. Very over priced. Would not recommend.

Arrived in Padstow hungry and chose this place as the weather changed for the worse. Should have wondered why the place was totally empty. The member of staff who greeted us was pleasant enough. Ordered tea, and crab sandwiches for three and wine and soup for the other person in our group. Very happy to pay £9.95 for a FRESH crab sandwich with salad and crisps. But a couple of bites in, it tasted strange. There was an over powering smell of ammonia, it made my tummy turn. I brought it to a member of staffs attention in private. No apology, or explanation. You would think they might have offered an alternative even. When the bill came, they had taken off £5 off the £55.65 total, I asked if they could remove the full cost of the sandwich I complained about, to which the young girl did. It saddens me when you feel it necessary to leave poor feedback on trip adviser but it’s something that owners, manager, & staff need to address and change to improve their ratings.

Went for lunch very efficient serviceLemon sole was excellent and ten pounds cheaper than the Rick Stein restaurant Good dessert and starterOther food people where eating look good as welldid not find it expensive but we are use to London and South east prices so this was a reasonable priced mealToo many down market burger and fish and chip places in Padstow even Rick Stein restaurant served mushy peas ugh

We stopped in for a quick, light dinner and were impressed by the hospitality of the staff, efficient service and good food as well as the cozy feel.

Very nice for lunch and an evening meal, atomspheric and staff very helpful xxx

wasted my money in here.my husband had a burger but had to leave it tasted like it was off,my son had a steak roll (well was ment to be steak)i had steak pie but i think it was a childs portion 2 bites and it was gone.please avoid,wish i had read reviews first..please dont waste your money.

First of all I have to say that the coffee we had in here was very poor.My daughter had a sandwich which was edible but not the salad that came with it.I had the cream tea which had 2 plain scones which were OK and plenty of jam and cream,We would have liked to have had a jacket potatoe BUT they were very overpriced.This is a nice big place in a good location ....pity the food and drink are not better as there are so many other paces to eat

A starter 2 mains and a glass of wine. £50 down the swanny! Worst meal ever! Don't bother. No wonder the place was empty.

Dog friendly resaurant at the harbourside in Padstom. Service good, Bacon sandwitches good but the Latte and americano coffee was very bitter/strong and my wife could not finish hers. Comprehensive menu to suit all but not cheap( it is Padstow). Could only say that must try harder in Padstow.

Most of the coffee shops were full on a bright sunny day. This large Restaraunt was only partly full. We ordered two cream teas. The tea was just how we like it and there was plenty of it.The order came with two plain scones each with clotted cream and strawberry jam. They both tasted fine to us. The scones did fall apart in your hand when you tried to eat them making for a messy plate. I would go back if I’m in Padstow again.

Sadly disappointing cream tea very poor quality scone awful taste poor quality jam. Expensive price for very poor quality. Should have realised as there was hardly anyone in there on a very busy day in Padstow!

Firstly I am not one of the me, me, me generation as one of the other reviewers trying to convince people to go to this restaurant commented on. We just like well cooked food which you don’t get here.

Called here for a sandwich and a coffee. Quite funny sitting watching the lady with the tattoo serving ice cream. Customer service is dreadful but she seems nice really. Always saying is it time to go home yet. Haha. The lad with the pink hair and very nice painted nails served us and he was very polite and efficient. Food was gorgeous. The sandwiches were the best I have had whilst on holiday. The coffee was dreadful, cappuccino was very bitter coffee. So the 3 stars are for the sandwiches and the lads customer service

If I could I would give this restaurant no stars. My father had a chicken sandwich and nearly ended up in hospital. This place gave him severe food poisoning. Rang up this place and they denied all knowledge. DONT GO HERE YOU WILL END UP SAME WAY AS MY FATHER

Food very good staff very helpful

There is absolutely no excuse for a restaurant on the harbour in a fishing village like Padstow to use fish that was obviously from a pre-packed mix in its fish pie! The fact we weren't once asked by waiting staff if our food was okay, or if we enjoyed our meal, also tells a tale. Avoid this place, there is a reason it is the only establishment with free tables at lunchtime!

We've eaten here a couple of times and the place always seems a bit of a restaurant of two halves.

Called in early one Thursday morning a couple of weeks ago and the place was almost empty. We were seated straight away by a friendly gentleman and both my husband and I ordered a full English breakfast. My husband had the largest one and I had just a normal size. They came reasonably quickly and we both agreed, that without a doubt these were the best breakfasts we've ever had anywhere and we have been to loads of places in the past for breakfasts.

The Clipper is a big part of our visits to Cornwall and we love to visit for lunch. Been here twice in the last week and food and service excellent as usual. Judging by the bad reviews, I really don't know what the "me, me, me, it's all got to be perfect for me" generation expect from a traditional seaside cafe. We love it and will be back there tomorrow.

Visited this restaurant in late August, there were 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 teenagers. It cashes in on its location as the food and service certainly don’t sell it.

We only wanted drinks, but the service was terrible. We felt as if we were invisible. 5 drinks £16.50. Disgusting. I can only think that they don’t get much trade so make as much as possible in the summer. If I could give no stars I would.

Went in for lunch. Ordered fish chips and mushy peas a ploughmans and tea for two. Tea arrived but 45 minutes later still no food. Asked the waiter who went off to ask the lady who took the order for them both to stand there in front of other customers and deny we had even ordered any food. Top it all off after waiting 45 minutes their customer service was so appalling they charged us for the £5 for the tea! Shocking customer service went to Rick Steins instead fantastic food and customer service

Truly awful food. We ordered the Steak baguette and the BBQ chicken baguette and left practically all of it. The chips were OK and what little salad we had we tried to eat. The toilets were also a joke. Tiny, dirty and a very odd button timer you had to press to keep the light on. The light was on when I entered and didn’t realise you needed to press the button so went completely pitch black half way through using. Not sure I have ever seen anything that foolish as if you want to save electricity then just use a motion sensor like everyone else. Avoid at all cost.

It’s a pity this ideally positioned restaurant is let down by poor staff attitude rather than quality of food.

Party of 6 pre booked. Great home made food reasonably priced. Staff were attentive and we were well looked after. Restaurant was quite empty at the time but don't let that put you off well worth a visit Vs fighting for tables elsewhere.

Staff very pleasant and informative. Willing to go the extra mile. Food delicious and nothing was too much trouble - thank you. Prices extremely reasonable. Would recommend this place.

It was only after sitting down that I checked Trip Advisor for reviews on The Clipper and it’s fair to say that, as a result, my expectations were not high; I was however pleased to be proved wrong. Our order was taken by a very polite and pleasant lad and the food and drinks arrived promptly and were well cooked and presented. I had the all day breakfast and asked for certain items to be omitted (as I am fussy!) and was pleasantly surprised to see additional food items, I had included, as a substitute. Given that Padstow was absolutely heaving and we were well within the lunch time envelope, this restaurant was decidedly empty and I fear that it’s reputation is sadly letting it down. You do have to dial back to 2018 for ‘excellent’ reviews so there is clearly something amiss, but for me personally, I have to say my experience warranted a ‘very good’ rating.

My husband visited here today with our two young children. Our youngest was in a buggy and there was plenty of room to have her next to us.

This was absolutely disgusting, Food was terrible and the staff where worse all staff including the manager. Awful attitude to customers and each other. Extremely unprofessional. The did not care in the slightest. Every single one of them where in their phones, slouch g over the counters talking nonsense about other people. Commenting on other staff, moaning abiut who's cleaning a table dispite it being completely empty and the one staff member that was working her arse off didn't smile. Over staffed, poor behavior, terrible food. I would rather go to any other place than here. I would never recommend this place in a million years. If I could put a minus figure on here it would absolutely be there.

Bad service !!! Not cheap for the quality of food

Always exceptional service and great food reasonably price for cornwall. We always come here and always love the food.

Women behind the counter was very sad but good milkshakes

Nice little café to take a quick rest and let your gaze wander over the hustle and bustle in the harbor.

Visited on a dinner time in a busy August , great service great food prices ok Interior could do with an upgrade but would recommend for food but not decor

Quite scruffy but it was raining. £7 for a sausage bun. £10 for pasty and chips but we decided to bite the bullet and keep dry. Waiter/waitress (couldn't tell which) very rude. Simply said "Can you get out my way!?" Went to the counter to order when the older lady with tattoos on her arms told us to sit down and wait - even ruder than the first member of staff. We got up and walked out. We'd rather get wet. Went to a place few doors down towards the pier and glad we did - that place was absolutely fantastic

Popped into pub a couple of times for a quick pint. Service good and beer cold, sit outside and watch life go by whilst crabbing. We caught 7!

Arrived with friends - a group of 8, for breakfast, 2 of us are vegan and decided to eat here as there was a vegan breakfast option. When I asked for soya milk with my tea, i was informed they only have cows milk! What restaurant offers vegan food but doesn't have alternatives to dairy milk! Breakfast was disappointing - vegan sausages verging on burnt, mushrooms clearly past their best before date, and scrambled egg alternative lukewarm and tasted like it was reconstituted from powder rather than made from tofu as we had expected. No opportunity to give feedback, staff appeared clueless. won't be returning again.

Called for a quick snack and wished we hadn't.

Called into here to grab a drink while trying to feed/calm an unhappy baby. Chose here as it looked quiet and had space to put pram. We found a table in the restaurant but as my parents decided to join us with their dog, we moved to the front part nearest the harbour.

Watery cappuccino, no ambience, horrid dry gateaux, sloppy pasty and dead salad dressing. No wonder the place was literally empty on a busy lunchtime In Padstow.

Lovely but a bit expensive especially the drinks

Orderd the breakfast looked nice but that was it. Sausages were off complained to the staff only to be met with bad attitude and rudeness.this place should close it's doors

Had cause to complain. I don't know of any chef that effectively poaches a fillet steak under a grill on a tray! (£25) Tasted awful & a waste of a beautiful steak. Lazy cooking, frozen chips etc. The mixed grill was awful too 👎

Visited today with my family including a newborn in her pushchair. Walking in we were told that we had to leave my sleeping granddaughter in her pram the other side of the cafe beside the counter away from all of the EMPTY tables and chairs (this should of been a warning) we were told if we wanted to have my sleeping granddaughter next to us we would have to go down into the restaurant, so we did. Of course it was empty!! My daughter who is breastfeeding asked for something dairy free but we were told “we have nothing” myself and my family ordered cake. My son in law asked for chocolate gateau and got the smallest piece of chocolate fudge cake and then found we had to pay an extra extortionate amount for ice cream (2half scoops) I had roulade, the smallest piece you could possibly imagine, it was shocking. No price next to this, it is very very expensive for the tiniest portions, definitely NOT value for money by any stretch of the imagination. We ate quickly before my granddaughter woke. I went to pay and quarried my bill and pointed out how small the dessert was another extremely rude member of staff said you ate it you must pay for it. It certainly wasn’t difficult to eat the the tiny tiny dessert given.

We went for a meal..10 of us..ordered several different things... some had breakfast when they ate the sausage it tasted awful..we sent back..young girl came said she had checked packs all in date....then lady came said she was Nancy? We told her problem she said they from local supplier and would tell them..then we said did you taste it..she said am vegetarian !!!how can you have opinions if not tasted..it was a hot day..they may of been out for a while..very poor customer service..confrontational staff will not go again

We have visited The Clipper for the past three years whilst on holiday and always had an enjoyable, good value for money three course meal.... until yesterday!!!

The worst food ever.I had chicken and chips which was overcooked and what can only be described as oven chips .Dump,avoid like the plague

Starter was average main was average and desert was barely average. Not enough meat on the ribs . Garlic bread with cheese was like the ones you get at Tesco and the fruit crumble had a bit of oil seeping through the top which shows it’s been sitting in that display cabinet a fair while. Decor is in serious need of refurb. Felt like I was in the setting of a horror movie or a funeral or something. It gets a 2 because it was edible

Very good food ,always freshly cooked and amazing sized portions

A lovely well priced restaurant, very clean and tables nicely spaced apart, and a nice traditional feel. Food is very nice and good portion sizes. They also have a very good menu with lots of seafood at a reasonable price.

Great meal my husband had Lobster, I had White crab salad for lunch. Very nice food, service good. We live local but have never been able t o have a meal here as it has been closed, in winter!!

Had lunch here today, my wife had fish goujons, which she enjoyed ( although I suspect they were bought in frozen and not prepared on site). I had what was described as a locally made pasty and chips, I'm sure at one time it would have probably been a very nice pasty had they not microwaved the life out of it, the pastry had been rendered greasy and very soft with no texture. very little meat it. There are many places to eat in Padstow so try one of them, give The Clipper a miss.

Stopped here as seemed to be the only place on the harbour with seating over looking it, should of been the tell tale sign!

Visited the Clipper on a warm day and sat in the top section as we had our dog.

We shared scampi and fish goujons and they were delivered quickly and so fresh and tasty! Lovely wine too, overlooking the harbour!

Lovely fish supper and great views over the Harbour

First day in Padstow we had lunch in the clipper I had the crab salad .. Good size in shell, Fresh and tasty .. The restaurant inside was fairly empty and the service was quick and good.

Really good food at a good price

I cannot recommend. Food expensive and the meals were bland and the fish a bit overcooked. They must do better for their prices.

We had a lovely lunch time desserts and drinks

I came here with my family hoping to have a pleasant lunch for my kids to have whilst on our holidays and we were treated so terribly that I can't comprehend. A female member of staff had the worst attitude towards us:( to which my children got upset about. We immediately left the premises. The next day we had our dinner in lovely Padstow and didn't end up going home till about 9-10, when walking back to our car we noticed the staff smoking inside on the tables, which explains the god awful smell. Do NOT bring your families, kids. dogs etc here!!!!

Was really not impressed by our stop at The Clipper Restaurant in Padstow, the location itself is beautiful and can not be faulted, however the food and the attitude of the staff... well I can tell you now that really was not a pretty sight. I had the fish pie and boy oh boy did I regret that, the fish smelt like it had been pulled fresh from the sea and then left in someones gym bag for about 5 years, taken out and chucked into a pie. The taste was bland and honestly, I have had better tasting baby food. Moving on... The staff, well where do I begin? The woman serving the ice creams and milkshakes seriously needs a talking to by the manager, a face like someones had a poo in her cereal and attitude as if she's just rolled out of bed and the customers and an inconvenience to her life, other than that, once we received our ice cream after about 20 minutes of waiting, was probably the best thing to happen since we got there! so yes, this was my experience.. All I have to say is to the staff, stop swearing, glaring, arguing and being rude to your customers and please improve on the food. I will not even tell you about the after math of my fish pie...thats a whole new story...

Quant place , service reasonable, food okay location okay.

We have visited Padstow many times before and have eaten here in the past with little complaint. Food was okay, nothing to write home about and we had a dog so had to sit in the porch area but this is our choice by having a pet with us. What I found really hard was that one of the waitresses had a lot of rules about how people sat & was very strict which dampened the mood somewhat. What was very embarrassing was that as customers left she openly criticised customers once their back was turned, very poor attitude, yes have an opiinion but behind closed doors please, very off putting and you could see paying customers could hear this on other tables...cut it out!

We went in to The Clipper by chance trying to get cover from torrential rain. We had a very unfriendly welcome by a staff member, when she saw our pushchair she simply said "you need to sit downstairs with the pushchair" to which I explained we also have a dog and she reluctantly said we had to sit in the top section as downstairs isn't dog friendly.

Just had lunch at the Clipper when we walked in just after 12 there was only 2 tables occupied and we wondered if we should walk out however we stayed and we’re glad we did.
