The Old Lifeboat House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Such a warm welcome from everyone and enjoyed seeing the locals at the bar laughing and enjoying themselves, a real feel of Cornish community about the place. Extensive menu so you don’t have to just stick to fish and chips, fish pie, curried cod and prawns to name but a few other choices. If you can get a window seat above the old lifeboat launch ramp do it. Enjoyed our meal here and a must visit if you are in the area.

This is a gem of a place in Coverack. The hosts are really welcoming and friendly. The food wholesome and tasty. What's not to like...? Well , frankly, nothing! Blowing a howler outside and, if you sit by the window, you get the drama of the seas on the old lifeboat slipway and hear none of it (testament to the builders). I didn't want to leave. The Sauvignion was lovely as was the ambience. My new happy place.

Food was superb, had the fish pie and absolutely rammed with fish and prawns. Hosts were lovely, very warm and friendly. And the view, what can I say, wonderful

Excellent Sunday lunch best roast potatoes ever.So big I'm afraid I couldn't finish it.Plenty of meat and veg and a good amount of gravy which we love.Staff were amazing and friendly and even chef came out to ask if we were satisfied. Definitely return when we're next in Coverack.

Banging fish and chips, especially after a long walk! Particularly delighted with gluten free batter. Though mostly just bothering to write the review for them going the extra mile. We attended later in the afternoon on a quieter day at the start of off season and sat outside. I’m sure they’ve been slammed all summer due to location and quality. It started to rain and I went to ask about them putting the umbrellas up, they first declined reasonably stating that unattended the umbrellas tend to enjoy taking flight. However, then in the next two minutes they bought them out. It was extremely appreciated and made all the difference. Plus everyone was super nice and friendly which after a while of interacting with customers can be quite hard to do! So nice one, keep it up. We appreciate you!!

Excellent Service Very accommodating to our varied requests. Even picking mint because I like minted peas. The Ambience was great for our Saturday lunch. Centa was very entertaining 👏👏👏

Beautiful people serving great fresh fish. The team could not have been more helpful. The food was amazing. The drinks were reasonable and the views were incredible. Thank you for a couple of special meals

Simply the best fish and chips ever!!! Absolutely delicious and such lovely, friendly staff. Amazingly the gluten free option is only £1 more and equally as gorgeous as the regular. We got a take away and sat on the harbour but the cafe looked lovely too and is dog friendly. Absolutely spot on - delish!

The food here is terrific. The curries and chowder are very special. Unpretentious and very friendly. Well stocked bar. Lovely view over the bay.

Based on the very good reviews ,we were looking forward to a nice dinner, with local fresh fish on the menu especially as the restaurant is so close to the sea. The service was friendly but the young man was totally uninformed about the food, even though he was constantly asking if anyone had any food allergies I’m not sure how he would have dealt with it if they had! The menu was a strange mixture. - from chowder to beef tacos, gammon to seafood lasagna (? a weird one to me) No actual fresh fish unless you wanted fish & chips, which you could get from their takeaway so not much of a treat. Infact my husband ended up with it in desperation- tasteless fish & what tasted like frozen chips. I asked if one of the dishes was a starter or main as it wasn’t clear on the menu, I was told” depends how hungry you are “. Apparently it was a starter which couldn’t be made larger I eventually found out.( why??!) A child could have eaten 4 portions & still be hungry. The final straw was the wine- my white (I think a Sauvignon as the young man again wasn’t sure) was average. Husband asked for a red - only one sort which wasn’t even drinkable, I think it had been open for some time, probably the first time I’ve seen him leave wine! I don’t normally write long reviews but honestly there was so much wrong with this place , such a shame given its fantastic location. We should have followed our first impressions from the outside as the place needs a lot of TLC Such a disappointment, we definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone let alone return.

Very charming place with a stunning view of Coverack Cove—there were even dolphins today! Food and service is lovely. Definitely recommended. Accepts contactless payment, but do bring some cash if you want to leave a tip.

Walking the Lizard coast on a rare sunny winter's day we abandoned our cheese rolls and decided to stop for fish and chips. These days my body reacts to gluten and I was delighted to find that they had this covered. We had a lovely friendly reception, given great quality food, GF batter prepared on the spot, beautifully crispy and light, chips perfect, tartare sauce homemade and superbly balanced. The thoughtfulness of the staff was so refreshing: the owner stopped me from putting malt vinegar on the food and offered white wine vinegar instead. We were given a little buzzer to tell us when the takeaway was ready, so we sunned ourselves in the little harbour while we waited. When I picked up the order I was given a little fish crate to carry it out. These little touches don't cost anything but they make the whole experience pleasurable. There are lessons to be learned here for others looking to offer food in Cornwall, as anyone with time to look through this website will know. I am used to putting up with second class GF alternatives but at the Lifeboat House I hit the jackpot. We don't live that far away and I will definitely be back - as the proprietor said, there is no need to prepare different food for people when it doesn't need to have gluten in the recipe. And by looking at other reports I can see that a trip down to Coverack harbour for a meal will be worthwhile. Full marks guys and thank you very much: it made our day.

Absolutely beautiful food and wonderful service kids fish and chips excellent portion. Amazing view for family and friends, definitely coming here again and I will try as much as I can to get the recipe for the curry sauce

Stumbled upon this hidden gem on a birthday outing, and couldn’t have been happier! Lovely lunch, great service, superb location, would recommend!

Excellent !! Called in without having booked and made very welcome (with the dog). Very friendly staff and not a long wait for food.Not a huge menu but the fish pie was great and the gammon was tasty.

We stopped at Coverack for a walk around, and we were pleasantly surprised to see this venue open, particularly as it was almost 5 pm and I had assumed it would be closed. Initially I had planned to just have a drink, but we were given such a warm welcome and the menu looked delicious, so we opted for food as well. We weren’t disappointed, it was delicious. We both chose the gammon dish, my partner was ever so pleased as the dish came with egg and pineapple! Often he is asked to choose one or the other in other venues. The creme brûlée was the best I’ve ever had and was presented beautifully. The food was delicious, the staff were warm and friendly, the view was amazing and the dogs were made welcome too! Just perfect! An unexpected bonus was that we happened to be in time for happy hour for drinks! 🍸 we couldn’t ask for more. ❤️

Lovely little restaurant, fantastic scenery and beautiful food. Had the chowder which was so tasty. Not a big menu but what they had was all great. Going again soon.

Amazing quality food. The fish was delicious and the batter really crispy. The staff were incredibly friendly, chatty and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend a meal here, the building is wonderfully placed for a fantastic experience.

The friendly and polite staff, welcomed us in, all 7 of us, last minute and after the kitchen closing time, by nearly an hour by the time we were seated and ordered. The fish cake starter was a large portion, and filled me as a main with a side of chips. The other meals were all of good portion size and great quality. I cant praise the staff enough for their politeness, friendlyness and most of all their accommodating manor. Lovely evening.

Amazing fish and views of the bay. Friendly service - largely fish based menu but other options. Fresh lobster or crab when available which will be as fresh as you’ll get anywhere. Good value and take away fish and chips sat on the harbour quay watching seals in the bay is not a bad way to spend an evening.

Love this little gem of a restaurant. Not a big menu but perfectly executed. Staff are lovely and attentive, views are amazing. The chowder is fantastic, full of fish and hints of fennel. We always take our visitors there and we are never disappointed.

Where do I start….. prices are expensive, the potions are small wouldn’t mind if they were quality, but they are not. The curry sauce is lumpy. The peas are yellow! Such a shame that this goldmine of a place is in the wrong hands! The takeaway fish and chips , feels like it is run by kids. £45 for lunch is extreme. I had the small fish and chips for £11, I thought they mixed my order up and gave me cod bites, I had two pieces of fish, clearly offcuts from a fillet, and from different fish. Such a shame when the harbour is literally right there, not sure it’s even cod to be honest! Fed up of being ripped off as a local person imagine how the holidaymakers feel!! Never again will I eat there.

Lifeboat house restaurant in Coverack . Yet again , awesome Chowder , good atmosphere , and Lovely staff . Lots of alternatives on the menu .Long journey across Cornwall but well worth it . Indoor dining · Creative cuisine · Cosy atmosphere · Outdoor dining · Great food · Great dessert · Scenic views · Large menu · Large portions

We visited the Lifeboat House twice whilst in Coverack, once for fish and chips (and Curry!) and also sat in the reaturant. The fish and chips was good as was the homemade curry. The real winner was the dirty burgers. We visited on an afternoon the resturant was quiet and all went for the burger option although this was a tough choice as the menu had lots of delicious options. We were advised by staff all food is cooked to order so may take a little while, this wasn't a problem as we wnjoyed a drink and the children were given crayons and colouring books. When the burgers arrived they were huge, so much so I struggled to finish it all. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, especially the blonde Kiwi waitress (apologies can't remember names!) If we are back in coverack we will be back to try some of the other options on the board.

Didn't seem particularly busy but around 20 – 25 min wait from order to supply. Not really a problem as the setting was so lovely. The fish didn't seem particularly large but on closer inspection it was thick rather rather than long and so there was a high fish to batter ratio that was probably healthier than the norm. Both fish and chips were excellently cooked and appreciated by all in my party. Only drawback was price – £13.50. Seemed a bit steep, although I suppose when you have a monopoly position you might as well use it!

3 fish and chips, halloumi fries, bag of chips and mushy peas. The fish was pretty good (4 star) albeit not particularly large. Chips were ok. The halloumi fries were crispier than expected (not sure if they were overcooked or if the other fries we’ve had are undercooked!). Mushy peas very tasty. Staff were fine and setting magnificent.

We did a lovely coastal walk arriving in Coverack mid afternoon so we were pleased to find this Fish & Chip takeaway was open all afternoon. No queue (probably as 3pm isn't a popular time to eat!!) and felt the F&C's were cooked to order, they tasted fresh and lovely crispy chips. Pleased to see I could get Gluten free and they offered GF vinegar as well if wanted. We ate on the harbour wall (not pestered by seagulls surprisingly) but there are tables inside & out too. Only negative was sachets of ketchup you had to buy which gets a big eco thumbs down (we planned ahead & had a mini heinz with us 😁).

We arrived in Coverack on a Friday afternoon and fancied take away fish and chips for dinner. Our Airbnb host recommended this establishment. The fish was ok but nothing special. The chips were clearly leftover from lunchtime and had been reheated to refresh them. They were dry and tasteless. We were told by the counter staff that the tartare sauce was homemade. In my opinion it was commercially produced mayonnaise with an addition of chopped capers, parsley and gherkins. I accept that having been hospitality trained I’m a critical customer, but I would rather be told the truth about what I’m buying.

Had a 3 course meal here. All the food served was delicious and generous portions. There’s fantastic views from all tables. The service was great, all staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

Had lunch in the restaurant, amazing view across bay, lovely atmosphere with very friendly staff. And the food was amazing - best pork spare ribs ever and chowder was excellent. Large portions. Highly recommend.

Spending a few days on The Lizard, we ventured down to Coverack for tea. Friends had recommended this place for fish and chips. Surviving the Covid-restrictions-induced queue, we patiently awaited our order. We were not disappointed!

This place is firstly stunning, perfect placement and is obviously trying to do its best with the covid restrictions. However it's like being back at school with the amount of "Don't do this" "Do this" and thats before you get in the door The wait...

Virtually the only eating option in Coverack due to Covid closures but very good fish and chips and takeaway bar drinks available to sit and enjoy the views over the Bay.

An hour for two fish and chips.. Mushy peas, nuggets and sauce! was certainly not worth that very long wait! Peas very little taste, chips nothing special and the fish for the price not worth the money either, very small portions.. You can not please...

Awesome fish and chips, the fish was one of the finest we have had in a long time. The view looking out over the sae and the harbour was a lovely back drop to lovely food.

Fabulous fish and chips one of the best I've had. The batter was thin and there was plenty of fish and a large portion of chips.

3 fish and chips, and one mushy pea burger and chips. Cod excellent (thick, well cooked, fresh, good weight of batter), Mushy pea burger 10/10 - great concept. Chips good. Well worth the wait.

The Lifeboat has got everything right! Friendly service, a good system of ordering and bleepers to alert you to your food being ready, and absolutely delicious food. Really, really lovely. The setting was magical too with the sun going down beyond the harbour and children...

Went on a Friday evening during our holiday in coverack. There were loads of gluten free options and the staff were really knowledgeable about what could be had. Service was friendly and food was delicious! Will definitely be coming back next time we are down.

Really disappointed with the takeaway fish and chips. Fish was meant to be large but was a large piece cut in half, about 4x4 inches. Batter very dark and dripping with fat. The chips were cold and undercooked. Obviously been hanging about a bit. Wouldn’t...

Went to the restaurant twice for take away in early June. Had fish cake and salad with small portion of chips both times as the fish cake was amazing.

Excellent Sunday Lunch.. had to be takeaway due to lack of staff.. we were made very welcome and a table was reserved for us outside with a picturesque view of the harbour

Fish and chips in the harbour on a setting sun. Just as it should be, flaky fish, tasty chips and a pint of cider. All served fresh to order. What more to say? Spot on 👍

Fantastic meal.....lovely views across the harbor. Family of four, ordered off the specials board. Nice to have something different than a plate full of chips. It was curry night and the homemade chicken tika masala was great. The pork loin was also very nice. The...

Really excellent food. Really fresh, really tasty and really friendly staff (esp as some customers were a bit "testy"!

Came to Coverack from little trevothan camp site and was greeted by the lady who I assumed owned the lifeboat house restaurant as she expressed her love of dogs seeing me carrying my terrier in a back pack.I hope she forgives me if I spell her name wrong but I know they call her senta.I returned a few days later and had a lovely home made burger and chips which we had to eat outside due to covid restrictions but non the less the food was lovely and the safety measures were admirable.I shall return and hopefully be able to sit inside next time.

Takeaway service. Thai fish curry lovely with loads of fish. Chicken masala excellent as well. Friendly service and doing there best with covid restrictions.

Eating a delicious Thai curry and chicken masala in our campervan right now. So fresh and tasty. Excellent! Thank you.

Back to this restaurant during an annual visit to the beautiful Coverack. Surprised at some of the negativity re a business that is doing its very best in trying times. We all are. The CV19 arrangements are what they should be for a small business and as long as you, the customer, play your part then it works well. If places / businesses like this go, then they will be gone for ever. You enter with a face covering, place an order and depending on how busy, wait in the restaurant (social distancing) or outside. If outside then be prepared for the Cornish weather - a lovely calm evening, as it was this time, or maybe a gale next time. Its Cornwall after all l !!This time tried the Wednesday curry night. Excellent if simple curries - its not fine dining after all. Beef madras, and chicken masala. Very tasty and also well cooked, with tender beef and chicken. Very well "spiced" and without ladles of chilli that some lesser establishments use to disguise poor food. If you want it "hot" then add your own. Turmeric rice with both. Friendly and efficient staff doing their best and more. Good value for money and as always, will be on the menu for the next visit. Try it.

Nicely cooked fish if a little on the small side, but very disappointing chips of which the best that can be said is that they were hot and not greasy - small, fairly tasteless. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but have had worse. Friendly, efficient service a plus and the dog was given treats so he was very happy! Good location in good weather.

What a great way to end a day whilst staying in Coverack with my wife’s best mate who lives here. Staff were lovely, considering what they are faced with during this current Covid issue and the food was excellent! Mark the proprietor was brilliant, making sure that everyone was happy with service, as this has to be a very difficult period and demanding with confusion with visitors and their perception of ‘rules’. Couldn’t fault anything, and can’t wait to return as we’ve never had a below par meal here. - and the Pint was spot on too.

Food was amazing! Had small fish & chips, 2 pieces of small cod with chips so plenty... and so tasty. Also ribs were ordered and he tells me the best he has ever had. Tender meat and so much too... Also a lovely pint and to be able to sit outside by the harbour was a bonus. To top it all the staff were so friendly and helpful.. excellent customer service. Deserves more than 5 stars

Fabulous fish and chips - freshly cooked and super tasty. Covid 19 regulations were adhered to - I wore my mask as is legally required - I am always surprised when people forget their masks (especially when their family work in the medical profession) then criticise the management who are trying their best in these unprecedented times.But this is one business that is getting it 100% rightExcellent foodExcellent servicePart of our local communityThank you Mark and Crew

Another vist with good hot freshly cooked food. Staff friendly and efficient. We ate our homemade burgers on the harbour enjoying our surroundings. Nice to see that a one way system is in place with the mandatory face coverings. ALL in all we spent a lovely day in the village of Coverack visiting the local amenities

efficient safe service, one way system, very friendly staff and excellent fish and chips, gluten free option too! Ate our lovely food on a picnic bend outside with a gorgeous view of the harbour. Highly recommend,will return before we go home.

We had fish and chips from the Old Lifeboat House on Thursday and it was so good we went back on the Friday for the same again. Really good all-round, and the home made tartare sauce was great. We did eat early doors at lunchtime, and therefore avoided the queues - and they can get pretty long, but having said that, once the current madness is over and things get back to normal this will no doubt be mitigated. Ignore the very bad review below, apparently it came from someone who wasn't even a customer, but who was using the tables belonging to the OLH but eating food from the pub opposite. Also ignore the petty, fussy comments about face coverings, for all the reviewer knows the persons in questions were exempt, in any event if they are that paranoid perhaps they should have stayed at home "where it's safe." ;)

Today I felt very saddened by my experience here. My parents have lived in the village for many years and I have visited and eaten here many many times. Today was the second time Mark was incredibly rude to me. I tried to come and order food without a face covering, offering to use my jumper (completely happy to leave and get one but I’d seen several people entering doing the same thing), he said I couldn’t enter, which of course was fine, but then told me he had asked me 4 times previously to wear a face mask. I politely pointed out that he had the wrong person, explaining that he had never once asked me to wear a face covering before, he then accused me of lying stating ‘I must have a twin’ and said that last time he’d offered his own sweaty sock!!!! It was not me that he’d ever asked to wear a face covering and the offer of a sweaty sock was not only rude but revolting. Given that the pub opposite do much better fish and chips I shall not be buying from them again. Very disappointing.

This is our return visit. This year it's just a takeaway and I would like to say that the food is still excellent. The girls are very friendly and the service passes all expectations. For excellent freshly cooked food this is the place to go. Yes you may have to wait but for freshly cooked food it is worth the wait.

Great little system in place in one door out another, pump gels, asking folk to wear masks. Lovely takeaway fish and chips. Did a sausage for the dog thank you. Friendly staff even when very busy. Will visit again.

Lovely food. Very well organised and safe.... 10 minute wait for food but views and local visitors to chat to. Wednesday night chicken tikka masala was amazing. Recommend!

We have had food twice from here this week on our holiday! Absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked, a bit of a wait for the food but well worth it. You don’t mind waiting with the view from the restaurant! The fish was just perfect, one of the best fish and chips we’ve had.

We went for takeaway curry night, korma, tikka, Thai fish curry. All came with rice very tasty food, washed down with a lovely cold beer. Going to try the fish n chips next

Everything in place for safety the food was good friendly staff, great view over the sea lots of outside space

We all agreed; best takeaway fish & chips for some time. Non greasy, sweet fish, proper batter (appreciate the fresh preparation chef). Staff very capable, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Will be back.

We have just had an amazing roast Pork from The Old Lifeboat House, there was more than enough for 4 people. The quality was exceptional and extremely tasty. So lovely to have a wonderful restaurant serving takeaway on your doorstep. Highly recommended!!! Thank you :)

First visit here and can highly recommend it! Clean, bright and airy with stunning views over the bay - we saw a seal and a pod of dolphins! Very friendly and helpful staff and a great menu to choose from including vegetarian & vegan options. We chose the leek & potato soup - delicious and Mark presents his food in a very appetising way!

Had delicious gluten free fish and chips in the restaurant here last week. The menu was limited but only because they were about to have a winter break.There were still plenty of gf options though. There is also the option to have a takeaway. The view is stunning, highly recommend.

Food was amazing. I had the fish pie. Amazing service. Of course we had dessert and it was delicious as well. .

My friends and I stepped in this place and we love this place...Cosy....food is nice and yummy..I will definitely come back again...Service is lovely..thank you!

Do not understand the review which said this restaurant is not dog friendly as this could not be more wrong. We have eaten here twice with our dog who was made very welcome on both occasions.Good food, friendly staff and amazing views. Seafood lasagne recommended!We have eaten at lunchtime, in the evening and used the take away.

Just love it here in Coverack, the locals are very welcoming. We came last year for the 1st time & loved it so much we have come back this year. The old Lifeboat has a lovely ambience with views across the harbour and beyond. Our smoked haddock chowder was divine, all 3 of us tucked in as a starter & was plenty as our mains were well portioned. The lime posset was to die for as was my partners choc brownie with clotted cream but I couldn't move after, as eaten way too much but I was happy . Chef is brilliant, waitress helpful. Good menu, mainly fish & seafood. We are booked for 2020 already
