Saturday lunch time. Sun just broke out over the harbour. Back against the harbour wall … sun on our faces… and food to die for… smoked haddock and butter bean chowder , Cornish mussels and crispy bread and a pint of sweet Appleseed cider. Superb!! Don’t tell anyone!!

This is going to be a very mixed review I'm afraid!!!! We read all previous reviews and sounded a great little quirky place , great views with outdoor log burner !! But the girls (two out of the three ) need to be educated on how to treat their customers. when I placed my order for two cocktails and food one turned to the other and said 'Maybe'...and started laughing. Didn't really get it ? In joke ? then the one that was making my husbands drink Kept asking if he wanted it extra hot spice ? I think she was trying to be funny ?? He said no just normal but she loaded it with spice anyway and my cocktail didn't have any alcohol at all ! They were so busy joking around that they weren't concentrating on the job !!.. I joked and said have you been at the cocktails too ? It was if she was drinking more than serving ! However the lady with dark hair im sorry didn't get your name was great and cooked us some amazing food, felt like she was carrying the other two !!! Such a shame this little place could be so good . Im sure it"s just down to staffing issues ! The same girl shouted" love you" when we said thank you and bye shame we didn't feel the same way !!!!

This local gem of a spot right on the harbour side gave me probably the best Haddock I’ve ever eaten earlier this evening (13th September). Called Hanky Panky on the menu the fish was super fresh coated in dead crispy panko breadcrumbs. The other family members had crab wraps which were lush, the garlic prawns properly swimming in garlic butter washed down with their own lager and a cider. Staff were lovely and super cool. Great vibe. Will be back soon.

Great location, but the positive comments end there. The service was appalling; it took an hour to get our food even though the place wasn't busy by the time our food eventually arrived. Also, the draft IPA was only being sold to locals, but was mysteries unavailable to me - I wonder if there's more profit in selling cans. Many of the menu items were unavailable - no mussels. Finally, it is expensive given the lack of facilities. I won't be going back.

Mussels, prawns and chips with four drinks £54 , money well spent. We actually walked over the top of it not realising it was underneath us, quirky, street food with cracking views. We were in helston looking for seafood 🦞 on a sunny Monday afternoon, it's Cornwall, things close/open at strange times, we googled mussels and we found the Mussel shoals, we walked right past it , we saw the people on the harbour, then realised it was the Mussels shak, a great find with cracking views and wonderful food, the young staff are excellent and work really hard in a tight place. The music is also very good, my only slight issue was , a canopy to protect us from the seagulls, although most tables have a canopy, fortunately for us the seagulls didn't bother us too much. Definitely be back.

This is quite an informal spot for a drink or bite to eat, but what a spot: right next to the quay, views out to the rest of Porthleven and, if there on a summer's evening, you're in the sun until a decent time. There are no bookings here. You just turn up, grab a seat and order at the little hut. What they produce in there is so impressive. Quite a lot on the menu for such a small place and all so tasty! Mainly seafood, but a couple of meat and veggie options too...which suited me. All the food is cooked to order, so there's a little wait, but it is worth it. There's a decent range of drinks on offer, including their own Sea Foam beer, so ideal while waiting for food. One of the highlights of my recent Porthleven trip!

An amazing little surprise. We decided to try here for lunch during our visit to Porthleven and we were amazed by the standard of food and drink from such a small building. We order the mussles and the crispy squid. It was great to see how fresh the food was (They were cleaning the mussles as they were pretty much straight from the sea). The portion sizes were huge and packed full of flavour. There is a wait for the food, which is completely understandable as the building it is prepared in is very small and it is all cooked fresh. It is most definetly worth the wait. We will be eating and drinking here again when we are next down. Visited again this year and the standard was just as high. If only it wasn't a 8 hour journey for me to visit.

Absolutely amazing food; all four of us have had the Filthy Fish Fries, I was going to tell what’s in the dish however that would spoil the surprise, loaded with ingredients and flavour. A prime location overlooking the harbour and easy accessibility at on end of the harbour wall, the other has steps. Great seating arrangements with canopies, as well as found it to be a bonus when it rained while we were there. An interesting choice of cocktails available, the brew their on craft ale, I’m being optimistic they will introduce at least one good ‘Real Ales’ to their menu too. Lively vipe, music playing in the background but not overpowering, children welcome, suitable for all ages.

food overpriced for what it is. Our order got given to the wrong table, left there a minute, picked up from that table, then given straight to us. The waiter didnt understand how it was gross and why i was asking for it to be redone. He reluctantly took it back to the kitchen. When it came back, it got unceremoniously plonked down. The crabby crab dirty fries contained all of 2 scallops and 3 prawns- and i’m not convinced that it was a brand new dish that the other diner hadnt previously breathed on as the fries went cold way too quickly. Drinks totally overpriced and bad quality. Felt like Shoreditch-on-Sea. No thanks.

If you've plenty of time on your hands, then pop in here. The staff were on a different planet and were treating the business as a hobby. Their high importance was to meet their local friends and have drinks with them rather than prioritising the paying customers. Food took ages, and when I was about to order, I was told the chef would be 5 or 10 minutes depending on how long her cigarette would take and if she wanted a poo. The food was ok, not as good as Catch just up the road. Enjoy the view of the harbour, but there are better places in the Port if you want a nice dining experience.

With sun out providing a gorgeous view for everyone, that you are practically a part of given how close you are to the water btw, it got busy pretty quick, with the music and laughter and chatter all making for the perfect summer vibe. With a large array of drinks, cocktails too, as well as a decent food menu, astonishing really given the size of the place, you can sit here for hours just enjoying the moment and the atmosphere. We ended up having pickled mackerel for something a little lighter, and the tiger prawns, which would be a strong recommendation. Both were lovely! Fresh as can be. Shame they had sold out of muscles, but goes to show how popular the place is. Service was as happy as can be, with everyone seeming to be loving it as much as we were.

Visited Cornwall for a short holiday and heard good things about mussel shoal.

And the nicest food we had during our stay. Portion sizes were great sadly couldn’t finish it all, as much as I wanted to! The location itself was a great vibe, nice music and was even made cosy in the bad weather with blankets and an outdoor heater. Wish there was a mussel shoal on the Isle of Wight x

Great food, friendly staff and good service. However, the seating was very cramped. Despite all of our table being of normal BMI we could literally only get one buttock on the bench. Thankfully a party of four on another table cancelled at short notice so we moved. This also helped the others on the table that we moved to. Recommendation: reduce the number of people per table or put a chair at each end of the table thereby taking two bums off the benches.

The best fish and chips in west Cornwall We are regulars never been disappointed. The portion sizes are great and the quality of the food is exceptional. If you're on holiday in Hayle forget the tourist trap company in foundary and head for highlanes

Great food. Loved the oyster. I think we got one of everything on the menu and it was all delicious. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Best chippie in Falmouth and Penryn! Had a sit in meal - great fluffy, crisp chips delicious mushy peas and I had one of the vegan options which was great. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Thank you Gem - been looking for a good chippy in Falmouth for a while! Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this place. Stayed at the Signal Station and walked over on 3 different nights for dinner. Ate in the terrace restaurant each time and honestly was shocked at how good the food was. The quality was incredible. I can’t recommend this place enough.
