The Loft Eatery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

The area is stunning and so much could be made of this place but the food was revolting. We had just done a long drive and had not realised that most food is not readily available early in the week or after 2pm so went to the cafe hoping to get at least a snack and take in the views. The menu was very limited ,the staff did not seem to know what was available and were more concerned with sitting chatting outside. We ordered burger and chips and were eventually informed this was a veggie burger. Having gone through the limited choices we settled on chicken burgers. These turned out to be chicken goujons in a bun with some chips in a plastic take away container. There was no salad, relish or pickles and we were informed they had run out of mayo but might be some if I searched through the other sachets which were just inside the door.. There was no cutlery ,no serviettes and I had originally ordered cheese for the beef burger but did not get a refund or any alternative offered. This disgusting meal cost just under £30 !!! As we left the staff were sitting out in the sun chatting with friends and one lady was eating ice cream from one of the big metal containers usually used for freezer storage. Health and safety? Trading standards? This place could be fantastic given the views and location but this might have been the worst meal we have ever eaten and price wise very poor value for money. We recommend that you avoid this place at all costs.

Been to Padstow so many times as don't live to far. Never ate here until today. We were impressed. Non fussy restaurant, clean and welcoming. Portions were massive and chips nice and crispy. The chips (fries, thin ones) with the child's meal looked not cooked, very pale, could have done with a bit longer. But otherwise really pleased. Will definitely eat there again. Very busy Cafe. People coming in all the time. Thankyou

Stayed here many a time for local events, great location & friendly staff always accommodating.

Visited Asda yesterday, and had a harrowing experience with checkout woman, who I asked to help me use rewards voucher. She actually lost my voucher but insisted it was still on there. She made ne feel like an idiot in front of other shoppers. I went to customer services and a very nice helpful lady gave me a number to ring. When I got home, I rang and they confirmed that the voucher had been lost off my account and reimbursed me. After the experience at checkout, we decided to have a coffee. I ordered a flat white for my husband and a cappuccino for myself. Both coffees tasted like hot water with a little milk, think a coffee bean might have been pulled through it! Worst coffee ever!

Did not feel at all welcome except by a couple of very drunk ladies.
