The Kitchen by The Beach in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Nice place. Nice atmosphere. Swimming pool and kids play area. Good taste of food.

Lovely team and great food. Love the focus on supporting the local community as well as the visitors. For example they do a free cold water event twice a week. It attracts community groups and obviously you buy drinks and food. Makes for a great destination with a great atmosphere.

Me and three friends went for a much looked forward to lunch yesterday 23/3 The smell of the chlorine from the pool on the other side of the glass partition to the cafe was overpowering. Two of us had the fish gougon sandwich, I can honestly say it was the most appalling “sandwich “ Iv ever had. The deep fried offering was obviously dumped on the dry stale bread straight from the fryer, so the oil (which tasted well past it sell by date) soaked into the bread over a couple of leaves and tartar sauce. Vile. We told the waitress when asked if all was ok, that no it wasn’t. She replied that they had staff problems and took 50p off the the £9.50 sandwich. Won’t be back. Enough said.

We live locally and love The Park, the staff, the pool and all the facilities are/were brilliant as always. Unfortunately the food was really poor last time we ate. Very fatty, no taste or seasoning, dry old bread, over cooked fish and chips. Also quite expensive for the standard and choice. PLEASE look at the menu, put some more fresh vegetables and local produce. We'll definitely be back for a swim, but unlikely to have dinner.

Very friendly staff. Lovely meal.

Wonderful food and excellent service

We go back to the Park every year and the Kitchen is always good value and a good time.

We were there on the Sunday morning, Great choices, Breakfast was tasty, Staff were lovely, Service was super,

Very disappointed on last visit we visit the Kitchen on 4 occasion in the last 7 days, 1 take away and 3 times eating in for evening meal, first 3 occasion food, drink and service were excellent. My wife had the pear and walnut salad 3 times I had it twice from her recommendations. The 3rd time we chose the pear salad it was prepared by the 3rd different chef in the 7 day's. The first two chefs cannot be faulted the food was excellent as per menu, plenty of lettuce, walnuts, pear and small cubes of blue cheese, cranberries and a honey dressing. 3rd chef on last visit was disappointing lot of lettuce, not much blue cheese looked like a few cubes quartered as was the walnuts and pear strips the crouton were omitted and the dressing was like a garlic mayo. My son chose the halloumi burger had it before it was excellent chose it again on last visit completely different very oily and included sliced tomato not on the menu description thou. My son does not like tomatoes they don't always agree with him so if they are on the menu they are omitted. The service was very good on all visit.

The relatively quiet restaurant had me concerned at first - but the staff were very welcoming. To start we had the Arancini and Calamari. The Arancini had an exciting curried twist (good not bad!) and whilst I’d expected fried from frozen rubbery rings, the calamari was fresh and delicious! For mains we both had the burgers. Great burger with thoughtful inclusion of toppings. Perhaps would’ve been nice to have the burger a little pink rather than well done given the high quality of the meat! Well worth checking out - and reasonably priced to boot!

Its rare that i take the time to review a restaurant but the food here was excellent! Family of 4 and we had the arancini & calamari for starters followed by pizza, burger, chicken burger & mushroom tagliatelle , all were delicious and cooked to perfection . My only complaint was that the portion sizes were so generous we had no room for dessert! Staff were attentive & friendly and my 5 year old son loved playing in the little soft play area while waiting for his food. I would definitely return next time we’re in Cornwall .

The food (fish and chips, tagliatelle mushrooms and garlic) was lovely and the young waiter was especially good and considering his age , very polite and helpful . Also the restaurant is dog friendly

The balcony is a fab place for a cocktail at the end of the day. The food was OK, we just had the burgers, nothing special though, so don’t believe the menu description. Don’t believe the ‘were fully booked’ mantra as there were loads of tables free when we got there early. They need to stop it as it’s annoying and unnecessary- it will put people off

A special birthday breakfast for the last day of our annual trip was made so much more special thanks to the lovely staff at the Park. The food is always delicious here and the service we received was excellent. Thank you so much for accommodating our large group and for going the extra mile for the birthdays. See you next time!

Outstanding food served with friendly, attentive service. Don’t let the location fool you, this is a gem. We had the Sunday roast and will absolutely return. Chuffed we found this slightly off the beaten path restaurant.

Lovely food and drink and great service.

An early evening meal here was good and the atmosphere is friendly, we were sheltered indoors this visit but when the weather is better you can be outside. Oh yes and when it is quiet you could use their indoor pool for a small change. We saw several people book it whilst we were there but didn't come equipped to swim ourselves. Mawgan Porth also has small shops including one that still sells the last pots of the proverbial Roger's Own Jams "lovingly handmade" in Trenance - enjoy them! We first discovered this delicious local jam maker some 6 years ago and always buy a pot of strawberry or rasberry jam in a shop at St Mawgan. You can also buy the local farm eggs at the shop in St Mawgan.

It's usually pretty chill here.. The food is good and the staff are helpful. There's a kids play area and a nice pool with steam room and sauna

We came here both mornings while we were in the area, a family of 4 and our dog, and we had delicious breakfasts both times!! Really lovely restaurant with welcoming staff!! Would definitely recommend!!

Had a lovely Sunday roast and was a great start to our stay at the Park. Great food, great place, great staff and perfect location.

Chilled vibe. Delicious food. And a pool you can pay a small fee to use - either indoor or outdoor. Great little find! The seafood chowder was excellent and the fish finger sandwich was fab!

Family has just enjoyed the full Sunday lunch menu - pork, beef and nut roast with all the trimmings!! Absolutely magic and super value too!!!

We were able to book a session as visitors to use the Parks swimming pool facilities and cafe. A really clean, small pool, with a small children's separate shallow area. We had the use of steam and sauna rooms. Excellent facility at a reasonable price. At the cafe we were able to order a light lunch which was very tasty. Would certainly recommend booking in advance if you are just a visitor and not staying in The Park.

A beautiful way to dine. A warm and lovely swimming pool facility. Free sauna and Turkish bath and some warm showers. Staff all very friendly

This is a 5 Star rating for the Food unfortunately not for the Service I feel some Staff need further training in Customer relations and How it contributes towards a Better Dining Experience .Negatives out the way The Food is Outstanding Fresh Flavorsome ,we’ve ate up and down the Cornish Coast all week at Fancy restaurants but this place was far by the Best for Food.

Our family of 4 had lunch here after using the indoor swimming pool. Great value for money if a slightly limited menu, due to them being short staffed and they were very accommodating. Food was lovely and we all cleared our plates. We will be returning to eat here again.

Visited here for our final night in Cornwall and was not disappointed. Food is fantastic quality, well presented and great portion size. Finding good quality vegetarian food can be tough but these guys have it nailed! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We had Sunday lunch, friendly helpful staff and fabulous food. Quality produce, well cooked, couldn’t fault it. We’re looking forward to our next visit 😋

The most delicious Sunday Lunch!! Cant recommend highly enough. The roast beef was full of flavour and tender. The whole meal was well seasoned and the portions very generous. We obviously polished it all off as it was too good to leave any scraps!! Very reasonably priced at £13 each which we though was excellent value. Thankyou to the whole kitchen and restaurant team for a lovely afternoon. We will definitely be back!

Very calm and casual atmosphere. Lovely food that is reasonably priced. Will definitely eat there again

While visiting decided to have lunch, after using the brilliant outside pool. BEST fish finger sandwich I have ever had!!! Can't recommend eating here enough. My friends enjoyed fish and chips, pizzas, arancini and sausage sandwiches. All were fab! Staff were really friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back again very soon! Highly recommend.

This is our second visit and we were not disappointed. The Roast Beef and accompanying veg were excellent. All cooked to perfection with great service provided.Lovely atmosphere, relaxed and welcoming. The only shame was, I was too full to do dessert justice! If you are in the area please give this restaurant a go ~ you won’t regret you did.

What a lovely meal. Brilliant choice of vegetables and tender beef. The nut roast was great. Everything really good quality. Gravy now delicious again.

We came here for our 1st night dinner. We both had burger and chips very large portion couldn't eat it all. But lovely. 🥰

Came here today for breakfast (27.02.2022). The Full Cornish you could tell was good produce. Good atmosphere and the pool an added bonus. Our issue is with staffing. The gentleman with the long brown hair serving us we thought was quiet abrupt and patronising. Only reason this place is not 5 stars which is a shame.

What a find! The chef is very talented and creative. We weren't staying at the park, simply looking for somewhere to have a nice lunch. This place had a great menu with firm favourites (handcooked fish finger roll) and some very creative and deliciously tasty...

Fab food, friendly staff and you can see the pool to know your children are safe!

Came here in January 2022, excellent place. Staff friendly and helpful, food really nice and promptly served. Dog friendly. Nice atmosphere- really recommend it, informal and relaxed.

Deserves more than 5 stars! Last dinner we had in Cornwall on our honeymoon. Food and service were excellent. Great food choices, very friendly staff and went above and beyond expectations. Made to feel so welcome! Thank you!

This is my favourite restaurant. Chilled and relaxed atmosphere with excellent food. The best! Definitely worth a visit.

Great food and friendly staff. Dogs welcome too!

Really relaxed and enjoyable evening. Staff were exceptional and made us feel at home. Swimming pool a great extra. Would highly recommend the burgers.

I come here all the time saver I really like them good and the atmosphere.. It's relaxed and delicious.. The staff are also friendly and helpful

Very good food I liked it very much

Fantastic food and dog friendly

I had a great experience at the kitchen by the beach. The food was delicious and the front house staff were helpful and friendly. A special mention to Alice who was on hand to cater to all of our needs. Would highly recommend The Kitchen...

I recommend coming here highly, amazing place with a wide range of food, that change everyday, The bar staff where very nice and understanding, food came out very quickly

Visited Cornwall for the first time this year we stayed at the park which was super friendly spacious and clean most evenings we dined at the kitchen by the beach restaurant. It was a busy evening but our waitress made us feel at home and...

Lovely breakfast with great ingredients and service. Just Tucked away (5 mins) from the beach but well worth the visit.

Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Thank you

Enjoyed lunch while on holiday at the park , sandwiches freshly made, we had the smoked salmon, salami and mozzarella with tomato all were delicious. The girl serving was very friendly.

This is our third stay at The Park and we have used The Kitchen before. This was our first visit since 2018 and received a friendly welcome, despite not booking. The menu is concise however the food was good quality and portion size generous. Like...

Visited for breakfast and dinner today. Plentiful, tasty food well presented and good value for money. Friendly attentive service in clean, spacious surroundings. A world away in both price, quality and definitely service in comparison to an overpriced local fish restaurant. Also had takeaway which...

I came here with my family, excellent, friendly service and high quality of food. I had the calamari to start and chicken burger for main and it was amazing, best meal I’ve had in a long time! Also dog friendly which is amazing! Would highly...

This restaurant was not up to our expectation. The service was very slow and the food looked nothing like the pictures advertised. The portion sizes were incredibly small, we could have made a better meal at home. To top everything off, my partner got food...

Our grandchildren were lucky enough to book a slot in the Park's swimming pool, which was just great. The Kitchen restaurant looks onto the pool so after the swim we had a very enjoyable lunch. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Really good food and menu, dog friendly and the waiter gave our dog a chew to have while we were eating, attentive staff and good atmosphere! Will definitely come again!

We had a week away at The Park at Mawgan Porth. Due to so many restaurants being booked we managed to eat at The Kitchen By The Beach the onsite restaurant (which was also fully booked, but they accommodated us on take away and one...

What a great local find. Stopped in for lunch as the rest of the area was rammed. Brilliant food. Cool little kids play area that kept them entertained, and good drinks. Ticked all the boxes nicely and will definitely be going back again 👍

Found this place by chance, excellent service, great food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return here. IPA lovers should try the Offshore Pilsner, a local cornish beer. Very nice.

Lovely location, brilliant staff and lovely food. Sunday lunches are amazing.

The food here is absolutely wonderful (the adults spaghetti and meatballs with truffle parmesan - oh my god!); breakfast is also fantastic and the staff are phenomenal - friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff basic but good quality and portions.

We stopped here for brunch on the way back to London and can’t understand how this place has 4.5 stars. My partner ordered the smoked salmon and poached eggs which were dry and completely overdone. I had the pancakes which tasted like they were out...

Dog friendly, family friendly, vegan friendly Really lovely place, nice and quiet outside and inside seating, takeaway. Good quality food, friendly staff Didn't have many vegan options on the menu, but waitress was really helpful and suggested really decent swaps, which was much appreciated

Very spontaneous last minute eve meal as we had,nt booked anything prior to arriving in Mawgan Porth.. but I have to say really nice staff although we sat outside and delicious food so we have booked to go back for a Sunday lunch.. First class, would highly recommend..!!!

The restaurant was a lovely setting, with a contemporary feel, the food was very good and the staff excellent (especially Alice) who was an excellent front of house waitress. She was knowledgable, funny and very attentive. Would recommend highly.

Didn't sample the food, but it did look nice. However it is overpriced, had a Coca Cola 330ml bottle and it cost £3!!! Bit of a rip off. Decided against food. I get it's aimed at the rich tourists being on a luxury holiday park, but still too expensive for us locals.

Wonderful...!!! Perfecto...!!! Fantastico...!!!

Not open covid restrictions apply 8th March 21.

Great food, helpful staff, lovely environment.

It's in The Park holiday site. Lovely here. Nice swimming pool.

Visited the Kitchen by the Beach on Monday 5th October - just a perfect meal set in a relaxed venue. Great staff as well. Loved it!

We had a lovely meal here whilst staying at The Park for a weekend break. A great atmosphere and the two girls that looked after us were fantastic. All our needs were taken care of from the moment we arrived to when we left. They took the time to chat with us while we enjoyed our meal. I had the burger from the special menu that evening and it was one of the best burgers I have had. Well done to all the staff at The Kitchen for a wonderful experience in these strange times.

We were staying at the park and ate in the restaurant upon arrival and also again another night, plus a takeaway too. All three times the food was lovely, the squid is so moreish and the other fish dishes and burgers were just as nice....

Just had the most amazing food here.. so reasonably priced. I have paid double what I paid here for this standard of food and service. 5 mins walk from Mawgan Porth beach...not well sign posted in village but give it a try ...you won't be disappointed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Popped in here for a bite to eat on our way back to Newquay and after reading the good reviews. On arrival wasn’t sure we were going to be impressed, on a caravan park that we weren’t staying at, but my goodness so glad I...

First time eating here and we were so impressed! The food was delicious and the service by the guy and girl who were on shift was wonderful too! Very helpful and friendly. We followed lunch with a lovely walk along the beach. We will 100%...

Visited the kitchen twice last week while on holiday. The catch of the day was freshly prepared by expert chefs who take a pride in what they do. The staff are all superb and very welcoming.Would highly recommend this restaurant.

A delightful place that deserves to be better known. Food was simple but really good and the service was excellent. Would heartily recommend.

Great value for money. Friendly staff

Excellent food, super friendly staff and child friendly. Big thumbs up!

Superb. We had a Sunday roast. Not at all what you would expect from a holiday park! Can’t wait to return.

We had a very nice meal in this restaurant which is attached to a campsite. The food was to a good standard with plenty of choice. The fresh mackerel was very tasty. We all had good portions. Shame no desserts though. Staff were very friendly...

Eat out to help out and stricter measures due to Covid, has made our long Bank holiday weekend trip to North Cornwall, a challenging one on the eating out front. Most, if not all, of decent eateries are fully booked for dinner. We got lucky...

Been staying at The Park and chatted to Mike about dinner...he suggested they could put on a platter for my family.....oh my sweet baby jesus.....one of the best meals I have ever had.....arancini.....fresh fish.....fresh calamari.....Italian salad and potatoes.....scallops with pea and bacon......and amazing value for...

After seeing a friends post online we headed to the Kitchen at the Beach for their burger and Korev deal and what a great place! Never knew it was there.. can’t wait to hear about future great offers. Loved it”

We were looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled on the Kitchen by the Beach. It was quiet and we weren’t expecting much but we were pleasantly surprised. Relaxed service and yummy dishes. We will be back!

The food here is absolutely delicious 😋 my favourite is the chicken burger. The atmosphere is easy going and chilled. There’s something for everyone. It’s dog friendly,there’s a soft play for the little ones. The waitresses Mike and Savannah are absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend...

Many thanks Had a great Sunday lunch everything was of a high standard. From the friendliness of the front of house to the quality from the kitchen team (who are 'on display' in the visual kitchen) The dining room was full with a great buzz...

Arrived with friends and was welcomed as soon as I arrived through the door. Friends had Chicken, Fish and I went with Roast Beef. We were NOT disappointed. Beef melted in mouth, Chicken moist, and the Fish was the size of a Whale! It is...

This is a relaxed restaurant that serves people staying at the Park and anyone just dropping in. It's family and dog friendly. But most importantly the food is excellent. We had a great dinner there and the food was delicious and good value. It compares very favourably to any pub in the area. As we stayed in the Park we also had breakfast here and wow. That was so good. Kept me going all day. Great choice. Loved it.And it really is worth adding a note about the staff. This is not cliché, simple fact: they are attentive, helpful, happy, and nothing is too much. Finally, Sunday lunch is the best you can get. Anywhere.

We came here one evening having just arrived at The Park. We ordered it to take away with us, and it was ready in under 10 minutes. Polite staff, good portions and great food!

Visited for Sunday roast. Food was quite good, beef and vegetables. Limited vegetables and very noisy. Unfortunately not the atmosphere that it had when Scotty & Babs ran the restuarant.

Fantastic service when 2 of us could not eat Mexican food (allergies). Chef and team put themselves out to ensure we all had a brilliant meal and evening Thank you. Great end to our holiday at The Park

Nice food can get busy at times

Really nice relaxing atmosphere, we were made to feel at home. The staff were incredibly professional and immediately replied to our email to confirm our booking. Many thanks, Jonny and family.

Good food, enjoyable for the whole family

Good food but pricey , however the view is excellent

Whilst staying at The Park we tried The Kitchen, which is a good five minutes walk from the beach, for one evening meal and our included breakfasts.Clearly, The Kitchen caters for its base clients, families with children seemingly the target. No problem, there are books, toys and a playroom adjacent to the dining area. The menu is limited, not a bad thing, but seems a bit heavy on burgers and curries. Our food was excellent, hot, and quickly served by delightful staff.Breakfast was, on our first day, a bit chaotic as we weren’t on the ‘list’ but this was quickly solved. Again, the choice was limited but well prepared. Cooked offerings were very good with the usual eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato beans, hash browns, mushrooms etc but as afar as I could see very few cereals. Toast and croissants were available also. The only downside was cold plates. Putting a full English breakfast on cold plates means a cold breakfast. Sorry, but this is my crusade and The Kitchen is not alone, even five star hotels have failed on this one. And my last moan is, the background music is far too much in the foreground, even to a partly deaf old bear.
