The Old Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

What a gem! Dining at this student-run restaurant was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, you could feel the passion and dedication behind every detail — it’s clear these students are not just learning, they’re thriving. The menu was creative and thoughtfully put together, with bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and a real sense of culinary curiosity. Every dish felt like a showcase of talent and teamwork. I was genuinely impressed! Service was just as lovely — professional yet friendly, with staff who were clearly proud of their work and eager to make the experience special. The atmosphere had a great energy too — relaxed, fresh, and full of promise. It’s so inspiring to see the next generation of chefs and hospitality pros in action. I’ll definitely be back — and cheering them on every step of the way!

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.

Great place for healthy food whether to eat I or take away.

My cousin and I had lunch here today. Excellent atmosphere, food, drink and service.

Never open, literally 5th time I checked. No sign nothing.
