The Hevlas in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had a really nice evening in this small restaurant in a great setting. Host very friendly and nothing too much trouble.

Fabulous lunch of Pigeon Saltimbocca, with a very tasty amazing sauce. Wild garlic and fresh vegetables added a touch of class. Procecco and gin as an aperative and the hospitality of the owners Nachelle and Tony were a great start. For a desert we chose cheesecake with caralilised rhubarb and strawberry comport. Just a wonderful setting We will be back Paul & Barbara

I’ve been coming to Crantock for quite a few years now and this is the first year I’ve visted The Hevlas. I will be going back! Thank you Tony for the lovely cream teas which put a smile back on our teenagers faces.

We had an amazing cream tea here. The place is amazing: a paradise behind a house on the road to the beach. Also the hosts are very lovely and funny. A perfect place to chill out anytime during the day. Always happy to come back :)

A lovely oasis - lots of nooks and crannies in the gardens and a very warm welcome. A lovely stop for hot choc or a glass of something. Cakes and savoury plates. A very lovely place 😎😋

Looked around for a place to eat but all the pubs we visited were closed for food. Stumbled upon this beauty and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Great friendly hosts and brilliant food we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I visited this charming Tea Rooms on Sunday with a friend for the first time. Walking into the garden was enchanting with lovely flower beds, trees and shrubs. Intimate spaces had been created with elegant tables and chairs where you can sit listening to the birds or soothing music and feast on a small but delicious menu. Homemade cakes and vintage teapots, or wild pigeon wrapped in pancetta, steak, mackerel and taramasalata. We began with a light cocktail of proseco with mango sorbet. The owners are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. This place is dog friendly, is near Crantock beach which is also dog friendly. What’s not to like. Thoroughly recommended.

We stayed in Crantock for a lovely week away. Luckily we found The Hevlas on our way to the beach on our first day. Booked for dinner that night. I think only open sat for dinner. Arrived and sat on he sun Terrance in late evening sun. Ordered a great bottle of bubbles and took in the ambiance of the different themed areas of the garden. Nichelle was fantastic host and really made us feel like we where with friends. Food was great and never felt rushed we had another bottle desert. Tony her husband who is the chief came for a chat too. Lovely people and hope the business goes from strength to strength. Would have loved to have eaten a second time. Thanks We will be back.

A great place to visit - a little gem. The food and service were great and in would highly recommend it if you are in the Crantock or Newquay area.

I had been told about this place and urged to visit. It's a great and unique place. You can eat and drink in the garden or in a small garden room which contains quirky items and a stash of interesting books and magazines. My wife was in her element in the white painted shed/room. She loved it! The couple who run the cafe are really interesting and we stayed for ages chatting to them. It's a lovely holiday experience. Sadly not open when we visited slightly out of season this year.

Came across this tea room whilst on a walk around Crantock village. Spent a very pleasant hour reading the papers and sampling the delights of this lovely place. Home made elderflower juice and a proper pot of tea in a lovely garden. The owners both popped out to say hello and chat and we were made to feel very welcome and not rushed at all. A lovely place to have a pit stop with delicious home made food on offer and very reasonably priced.

After a day on Crantock Beach we went off to discover the village including the old village stocks behind the church. Two pubs and a nearby tea room looked very busy and by chance, in a nearby lane but away from the hustle and bustle we spotted The Hevlas. It looked inviting and quaint from the outside, handmade signs beckoning us around the front to the back garden. We turned a corner and were greeted by a good afternoon from the owner. "Might we get a cup of tea?" I asked and he replied of course, "choose where you'd like to sit and I'll come over. There's upstairs on the terrace - that's boiling, or there's the Indian room under a canopy or this garden." We chose the terrace, a small balcony in the glare of the sun overlooking the lane but it was scorchingly hot. We ventured down steps into the Indian tea room. It was a lovely tranquil area with rattan furniture, oriental tables covered by a canopy tied to tree stump poles cemented into a patio which was adorned by emerald like stones at each intersecting corner. There was a selection of books and magazines including one of Cornish real life incidents including one about a shower of snails! We ordered two Cornish cream teas at £5.95 each, though as I can't do cream I had butter instead. There was a choice of plain or fruit scones and of jams - home made apple, a strawberry and a third. We opted for strawberry jam and fruit scones. We waited just a few minutes before a huge pot of tea made with three tea bags arrived, colour co-ordinated with milk jug and jar with tongs and classy Demerara cubes. The cream teas followed soon after each presented on a large slate - two large scones, a pot of jam, a pot of cream and a strawberry lightly dusted with icing sugar, the scones were moist yet crumbly, full of fruit and easy to cut. The jam was seedless but a good quality though not Wilkins' Tiptree. It was an ample tea and we each managed two and half cups of tea so as not to waste the pot. A visit to the loo led me to what appeared to be the owner's bathroom with an old fashioned free standing bath and a bowl containing cuttings of philosophical sayings directly in front. There were fancy soap dispensers and a hand towel. I had to examine back garden and found three or four tables and chairs generously spaced out and occupied by relaxing visitors. Flowers and trees abounded and the village church tower was glimpsed beyond the garden. The windowed shed had been turned into a summer house with couch and the green house too inviting customers to take tea. Stevie Wonder's As followed by Bob Marley and the Wailers' Exodus could be heard on speakers as I learned that The Hevlas name originates from the live music group the owners are part of. Even the business card is individual and creative, two words which sum up The Hevlas

We spotted this gorgeous little restaurant last year and booked to go last Sunday for a coral wedding anniversary meal. The owners are warm and friendly, the garden setting is magical and the food divine - what a little gem. Sitting up on the roof terrace watching the sun set over Crantock was idyllic.

My family have been to Crantock almost every year since 1990 but this week was the first time we've visited this place and what a find. Lovely, friendly, accomodating staff, a beautiful but unusual setting in the loveliest gardens and great fresh food too! Me and my husband thought this place was great, all tables are in individual places such as the conservatory or the cottage where we were sat. Had a lovely bottle of prosecco a shared starter, 2 mains and the best dessert I've had for ages, plus coffee for under £60! You must try it!

Stumbled across this quaint little place on a rainy walk this summer, we had our friends, our daughter and 2 dogs, we sat under a lovely canopy covered outdoor area, the owners were incredibly friendly and the lady even sold us her sons crisps as thats all my daughter wanted and of course crisps werent on the menu! We had cream teas, cakes, coffees etc, really lovely, would highly recommend a visit and we will be back again next year

Una maravilla! La comida deliciosa! Cócteles genial!! Perro amable! Niños! Buena relación calidad-precio.

Great service, great cake, nice range on the menu. Attentive service. It made me join Trip Advisor just so I could write a good review!

Agradable y privada con deliciosa comida y anfitriones. Un montón de trabajo duro debe de haber ido a diseñar el comedor exterior arreglos que funciona estupendamente. Volveré la próxima vez que visitemos Crantock.

A very pleasant lunch time experience with family, weather good enough to sit in beautiful,interesting garden.

The tea room is set in Crantock village in a fantastic garden that the owners have done up to perfection, with little places to sit and eat throughout the garden. The owners Tony and Nachelle are friendly and knowledgeable about the produce and the meals. I really adored this place. You can have anything from cream teas, cakes, soups, sandwiches to a wonderful steak meal, the menu varies and is all home cooked, they open Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.

This little place was a delightful find! The tables outside in the pretty garden and some on little terraces, underneath the apple tree and a few inside. Little fairy lights and wind chimes adorn this garden. We sampled their cream tea, which was delicious. The scones were home made and so light, choice of home made jams, all beautifully served on nice china. We actually had two cream teas there and also had dinner there one evening. They are not open every day, and only occasionally open in the evenings until 9.00 pm. We did have a lovely there, my husband had steak with all the trimmings and I had Moroccan lamb with couscous and salad, which was very tasty. They are also licensed and we chose a rather nice red wine to go with our meal, and ice cream for pudding.

My only disappointment was that we only discovered the Hevlas on our last night in Crantock! What a lovely place to visit for a drink and food, the owners are so passionate about what they do and it shows in their service, food and spaces they have created in their home for all to enjoy and appreciate. Do not visit the area of Newquay / Crantock without paying this place a visit, you will not be disappointed. I had the Rabbit with new potatoes and green beans, my wife had the homemade fish cakes with potato salad, everything homemade and fresh (See pic attached) it was truly scrumptious, no leftovers for my dog, it was that good. The cakes were also divine, sure we bought an additional piece of carrot cake to take home for a friend, we also ate that when we got back to the tent, the friend will have to wait until we visit again. 10 out of 10 for me!!!! We are looking forward to visiting the Hevlas again when we are in Crantock in June 2015.

Lovely little place in the village, beautiful original garden, lovely home cooked food, v friendly and welcoming, a lovely place to have a drink in the sunshine and chill out, great atmosphere, fab cream tea also!

What a glorious find for four tired and hungry walkers. We could not believe our luck to meet the warm and friendly smile of Nachelle who welcomed us into the Hevlas and settled us down to a pretty little seating area outside surrounded by flowers, chimes, words of wisdom and artefacts. In case we felt cold she quickly supplied us with some blankets for our legs. There are some cute indoor places to sit as well including a converted period play house All the food is home made and it comes with a big smile and was delicious. How lovely to come across a couple who obviously have such joy from running their tea room and they just want to make sure that all their customers have a wonderful, experience eating there. The menu has different special most days. Everything we chose was tasty and we could not resist trying each of the home made cakes when we had coffee. So if you are coming off the coastal path give the tea room by the beach a miss and head up the road into Crantock village and you will not be disappointed. You can then pick up the coastal path further along ..

A few visits to this fine inn, lovely food, lovely staff and it is pet friendly. Totally enjoyed it as my local for three days. The wife loved it as did the Mother in law. And not to forget the Dog.

What a wonderful and friendly tearoom, stopped by after a coastal walk in the area and a recommendation from the kind gentleman at the national trust car park.The staff were very helpful and accommodating of our 2 boys and small dog.Could not fault the food at all, beautiful homemade cuisine, a definite must if your in the area, will be recommending to all my friends and family, best Cornish cream tea of the week, thank you guys

We had a lovely visit to Crantock beach which was exceptional views and so glad we found it. We were looking for somewhere for a bite to eat and saw The Hevlas tea gardens, we sat in the Indian garden and had great food and drink. The garden is really quirky and made very special with Halloween decorations, our children aged 9 & 6 loved the pumpkins but especially loved the Halloween games of dunking into flour to get sweets and apple bobbing, the owner really went out of her way to make our visit very special. Thank you very much

Came in the summer while on holiday. And just have to say what beautiful gardens and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Will definately visit when were back next year !!

We popped into The Hevlas for a little drink on the last night of our holiday (boo!) and were made to feel very welcome by Nachelle even though we just wanted a drink. What a lovely setting, could have stayed there quite happily all evening; a nice and relaxing atmosphere. The Hevlas is open on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at the moment and it is worth looking out for the menu of the week on the blackboard outside. The food looked and sounded lovely and the menu is nice and compact which we prefer. When we are next back in Crantock we will be going back for breakfast/lunch/dinner! Thank you for making us so welcome and see you next time!

The Hevlas is nice little cafe/restaurant tucked away in Crantock. However it is only open weekends and bank holidays I think. The owners are very friendly and the garden is very quirky! There are lots of different seating areas including a sort of hut and a roof top table. Also the grass is artificial which is interesting.The chicken satay wrap I had was very nice but the BLT had stale "ciabbatta" bread. The homemade elderflower was delicious but the coffee wasnt the best. However the scones were lovely and so was the setting, making this a nice lunch.

We walked to The Hevlas from Newquay (incidentally a lovely beach walk in itself), secure in the knowledge that this was a breakfast worth working for. We were given the warmest of welcomes by the owner, Nachelle, and were led through to an enchanted back garden, bursting with greenery and finished beautifully with subtle, scattered touches of Cornwall...and Asia! We were a four (plus three dogs - each more than welcome to dutifully lie in the cottage gardens) so we had three Full English Breakfasts and one Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs. All four plates were absolutely delicious, each finessed with homemade and organic ingredients, all generously portioned. The tea and coffee we accompanied our meals with was top notch too, leaving us truly and utterly contented. And then, to complete the experience, the bill arrived (with some chocolate mints - naughty in the morning, but we gladly obliged!) which seemed very modest, highlighting the brilliant value of this secret place too.We can't wait to return when we are next in Newquay (or the surrounding area) for lunch, cream tea, dinner, cocktails...or just to say "Hi" to Nachelle and Tony at their wonderful spot of quintessential brilliance.This is a hidden gem you will be forever pleased to have unveiled!

Myself and my 10 year old daughter stumbled across this unique tea room on the last evening of our holiday and we're so glad we did! The owners have set this business up in their own home and it really was a wonderful experience. I believe they currently open three days each week Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The welcome was so friendly, I'd say if your visiting the Crantock area this is the one place you must try I couldn't fault it. I had a glass of wine and a slice of cake my daughter had hot chocolate and a piece of rocky road and we both really enjoyed. I'd just like to thank the couple who run and own this unique little place you made us feel so welcome and we can't wait to visit again next year during our holiday.

We too visited this lovely tea gardens after a long walk. Stumbled across it, two great hosts with simply fantastic gardens. See pics. Lots of little quirks and nick knacks dotted around. Sun terrace, gardens, and sheltered Buddha seating area to hide from the sun, or rainy summer days.Popped in with the wife, children and dog. (Well behaved dogs and children welcome…. I guess that applies to adults too). Had a big slice of cake.... and a very cool welcome beer after our walk. Could say so much more, just see pics. (Sorry it too so long to do the review and upload the pics I promised).P.S. Food passing us on their way to others looked great. Would recommend!

After a 4 mile walk along the coastal path between Holywell Bay and Crantock on a fairly hot summer's day, we were in need of some refreshment. A car park attendant was only able to point us in the direction of beach front cans and ices so we decided to walk into the village of Crantock to see what we could find. We nearly walked past The Hevlas because it looked like, and is, someone's back garden but as the sign said, 'Tea Gardens', we followed the arrow to the somewhat unusual garden with seating in various nooks and crannies. On our first visit we opted for a BLT. This was served in gorgeous rosemary and olive rye bread with salad leaves picked from the garden in front of our eyes. The service was very friendly and personal and life seemed very pleasant indeed sitting under the apple tree eating our lunch. We tried to revisit for a cream tea later in our holiday, only to find that we hadn't read the board regarding opening days - not the early part of the week. We did go back again on the last day of our holiday however, when I had a clotted cream cake with blackberry and apple compote and my husband tried Tony's take on a Cornish pasty. Both were divine. The menu might not be the most extensive but what was on offer was really fresh and of very high quality. Thoroughly recommended.
