The Old Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Some of the taster menu was amazing. The presentation excellent. The staff superb. The toilets immaculate. The value for money second to none. And for all those reasons you should go. But I am picky. Some was so so. The filo pastry with goats cheese and beetroot should be lush with flavour but ended up tasting of salt and was bland. Others just were, well, nice. The decor is 90s tired. Which is fine but for a taster experience, food, lighting, atmosphere, smells all contribute to that. It's just not quite there. Almost but not quite. The dead dried flowers should be binned as it's not in keeping with a classy place but more an 80s feel. For the covers they are probably one staff member short. So that napkins can be folded when a customer goes for a wee, and water topped up. Instead two great staff are stretched. The place deserves success. The staff are doing a great job and the chef is doing wonderful things with duck and blackberries. And the custard desert. Wow. Just wow. It just needs a smidge more consistency, a spruce of the decor, an extra staff member and a tweak to some of the courses to go from good to excellent.

Small intimate restaurant with outstanding food, beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, welcoming offering great advice about what to choose. Initially we were not quite sure what to expect from the small plate description . We found four plates each to be perfect. The Christmas tacos were a particular favourite and the Korean cauliflower was just awesome. The chocolate fondant dessert was brilliant. The new owners have certainly set a very high standard and dining here is thoroughly recommended.

Amazing sourdough and eggs, and coffee very well made.

Best pasties in Cornwall. Family say they are like my own homemade pasties so got to be good or we wouldn't buy them. Can be seen being made at the back of the shop

We were directed here from a sales person in St Ives he told these were the best pasties in Cornwall It didn't disappoint
