Fantastic place, fantastic food and especially fantastic staff. It is our go to place whenever we travel down to st Agnes. Please visit if you are there folks

Seated in the “snug” and served by perhaps the friendliest waitress on the planet. Food was outstanding both in variety, freshness and flavours. I especially recommend the lobster poke bowl. Top class cocktails too. So good we booked to go back before we leave Cornwall

What a great find this was. The service was great, the food was awesome. There isn't much parking, about 8 spaces over the road, and the roads to get there are quite narrow but it is so worth it. It can also get very busy so may be worth calling ahead and if they can get you in they will as there are very accommodating.

Very friendly hard working staff food was good and the atmosphere was different to any other eateries in the area. Recommend the rum punch

We returned to the Taphouse after visiting a couple of times last year. We decided to go for the surf and turf option from the specials board. We were not disappointed. We both agreed that this was the best meal we had all week in Cornwall. Service was friendly and efficient. Food cooked to perfection. Would we recommend the Taphouse. yes, yes.yes. The surf vibe was authentic and the live music was fantastic. Great night. Thanks to the Taphouse Team.

Do not sleep on visiting this place, whether you’re in the area or not you MUST take the trip. The service was amazing, food was incredible and the place itself is such a vibe! Wish we found this sooner! I’d give 10 stars if I could

Booked a table for 8 early evening. Parking limited nearby so be aware. Staff friendly and attentive. We had two vegans and two vegetarians in our party. All were catered for and the food was universally met with a thumbs up. A nice vibe in a colourful interior with a surfer dude vibe. Would I recommend it-Absolutely but book as we saw some people turned away as it was busy.

Looks great from outside however if you go in and have fun and Dance you'll get the owner who reminded me of Wayne Lineker tell you off. Complete shambles

Didn’t have a booking but went and chanced it anyway. Thankfully a booking didn’t show and we got seated on the decking. Staff were very friendly the food in the words of a 7 yr old who had the kids fish and chips was ‘I’ve never had fish like that and was banging’. We had the 1/2kg clams and mussels from the specials board, pork tacos, fries, padron peppers and the honey and miso chicken wings washed down with a great tasting cocktail. The restaurant had a good vibe fresh great tasting food definitely worth the visit

Great little find, staff was lovely, food was great. Only down side was no high chairs and boring man sat behind me showing off his life story. Dog friendly, Venue looked amazing. I would definitely return

Back to top form - decent poke bowl -lovely sensibly priced Rose charming service - Owner is back in charge and it shows👏🏻👏🏻

We happened to find this by accident.. whilst touring the area. We are so glad we found it. This is one very special bar/restaurant.. Due to the excellent food.. alternative and amazing decor.. lovely atmosphere and great staff.. We had steak and fries.. which was lunch deal for 10 pounds.. and was amazing. Had cider with this which was lovely.. We will def return when we are back in the area . Special little place. :)

Popped to St Agnes for the day and found the taphouse whilst looking for somewhere to have lunch. What a fantastic find and now one of our firm favourites. It had several people dining there which is always a good sign, and the phone didn't stop ringing with bookings so clearly very popular and we could see why. The food was absolutely amazing - we had the Malaysian beef dish but there was so much to choose from, and all around the £10/£15 mark. Nice selection of beers and the atmosphere was fantastic - nice soothing music from around the world and lovely vibrant colours inside with lovely cosy little seating areas, very intimate. Very friendly staff and overall a fantastic lunch experience. We will definitely be back and taking friends with us to show off our new find.

Excellent front of house service and excellent food. Great value for money lunch specials. Highly recommend the squid, steak and poke.

Delicious food and warm and welcoming staff. Something different to wake up your palate!!! Would definitely return. Thank you

Lovely place. Great staff. Had surf and turf. The steak was great but the lobster wasn't. Wished I'd had a poke bowl with steak now. The lobster was too strong. Would go back though.

I visited it with two friends. The interior is unusual and fascinating with all sorts of items on the walls and beautiful special effect lighting. The sound system was excellent with a great choice of music. But best of all was the food - all three of us enjoyed our really, really good food - I had the best steak I've had for a very long time, and which was better than others I've had costing two or three time more. Friendly and efficient service; all this for a very reasonable cost; we couldn't believe how good it was. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic evening with friends overwinter. The food was excellent and the service too. We were very well looked after. Will definitely be visiting again when next in the area.

booked to eat here on 17th September as it was last night of our holiday. The food is fantastic the surf and turf cost the most at £45 but was worth every penny the staff were very pleasant. if planning to go check where car parks parking is limited

A fantastic, lovely and chilled restaurant that has consistently tasty food! Perfect for a relaxed vibrant evening with family or friends. Lots of vegan options - book or else you run a high risk of no tables high season!

Popped in here for one of their “ lunchtime specials” amazing food never eaten anything quite like it before, drinks somewhat expensive though £6.50 pint cider 🤔

Our first visit to the Taphouse with friends who live in Gorran. Had an amazing evening. The food was fantastic, the surroundings? So different & really cool. The staff were very good, helpful, obliging and professional. Looking forward to going back again 👍

Fantastic, unique place to eat or have a drink !!! Such a beautiful decor , atmosphere !!! Was really impressed with everything !!!

Visited by chance at lunchtime. Team were great and menu was a nice change from usual pub fayre - the Poke bowls were great.

Loved everything about this place. Really enjoyed our evening here. My older children especially appreciated the decor and vibe. Great food and cocktails, with friendly staff. The Goan seafood curry with monkfish, prawns and mussels was delicious. The poke bowl with steak was enjoyed and looked fantastic, as did the Tappy burger. If visiting during busier periods, best to book in advance if you want a table to eat, Friday and Saturday nights were very busy. Brilliantly located for visiting after a day on the beach or walking coastal path. If visiting St Agnes, be sure to visit. It seemed really popular with locals and visitors.

Popped in for lunch and had the lunch time steak special for £10… what a bargain. Steak, chips, salad and garlic butter for a tenner. You won’t too that anywhere in Cornwall this summer. The young lads that served me were excellent. Il be back as soon as I can.

Really enjoyed our visit to Taphouse - delicious food, great atmosphere and enjoyed the drinks. Scott was fantastic, had a great sense of humour and made sure everyone was happy and having a great time. Will be coming back and would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Started off with amazing cocktail perfectly measured, then decided to go with the steak frites along side another cocktail which was even better! Scott was amazing couldn’t ask for better service, one of the nicest blokes I’ve ever met! Would definitely come again!

The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly, they have a quick service and great atmosphere

Stopped by The Taphouse for a swift pint (which turned into two) with the family. Great decor and atmosphere which made me feel like I was back in California! Great selection of drinks and very friendly staff. I even grabbed myself a t-shirt to fly...

This is a fabulous little place… we went early evening and were so impressed! Wonderful attentive staff , a great tropical vibe and atmosphere and the most delicious food ever . The decor is quirky but stylish with a wonderful surfy retro feel. A wide...

Absolutely great venue and especially when the weather is good, feels like Hawaii. Steak with lobster was massive and both cooked perfectly. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Only thing that let it down was some of the guests. This certain table outside the people...

Enjoyed a great lunch with a friend. We felt welcome, - with a chilled holiday type vibe, reminiscent of our travelling days. Would definitely recommend! Need to come back some of the live music.

Great food. Great service. Great venue. Atmosphere was excellent, amazing choices of beers, wines etc. Menu was varied and both dishes we ate were delicious. Highly recommend if your after some atmosphere and reasonably priced food.

Love the vibe in here and how the place is decorated both inside and out. If you’re in the area it’s a nice place to come for both food and a few cocktails. It does feel it’s on the slightly pricier side, but it’s hard...

Food and food was lovely, our waitress Ellie was very helpful and provided excellent service. However we were informed that there was no lobster or crab available when ordering only to then find that both were being served when we came to leave an hour...

We visited the tap room after we had walked the dog on the beach. It’s vibe was great and with the sunny weather it felt like we were abroad. We had a lovely meal of Rendang curry and are most definitely going to go back...

Stumbled across this place and lucked out! Really well designed and layout is casual but contemporary. Staff friendly, food and ambience great and it rescued an overcast day :) And our dog loved it too

Great pub in st agnes but let down by the staff behind the bar. Ask for a bottle of lager with a slice of lime and he put it in with his fingers. Asked him to just change the lime and he just ignored me...

Went there for my birthday and had Lobster Thermidor with my wife, staff were amazing and the food was outstanding. Would recommend for a great experience.

On a wet Wednesday in March , thus pub was quite full , and not surprising . Wide selection of beer , a bit trendy and a bit pricey but ok Limited menu , but everything we had was really tasty . Spicy chicken wings really were spicy , and not the very hot ones. Hake fish of the day , and spicy Buddha bowl were also really good . Dessert well presented and good . Friendly staff and good service It was also nice that you can order sharing plates which looked to be very popular .

Where do you start? The amazing staff, the phenomenal service, the dog (and human) friendliness, the range of drinks, the wonderful menu, quality of food that’s second to none, or the atmosphere and décor? In my opinion, all of the above, wrapped in a lovely...

We visited here for a family meal on a Wednesday evening in February whilst on holiday. The food and service was exceptional. We will return! We ate the Goan curry and the Lobster linguine off the daily specials.

We visited this little gem of a restaurant 3 times in one week , the food is amazing , the restaurant is cheerful and colourful decorated and the staff are friendly and attentive. It makes you feel like your on holiday. Well done. Either come...

Popped in, after a walk, on the spur of the moment for a drink. Fab atmosphere and delicious looking menu. We are considering going again for a bite to eat, but one aspect may sway our decision - the drinks prices. We're local and had...

Had the pleasure to pay a visit to The Taphouse for a family lunch. The interior decor of this place simply transports you to an eatery right on a Hawaiian/Tropical setting. Great food with meticulous attention to every detail along with superb floral presentation ....

I really enjoyed our lunch at the Taphouse today. I am a celiac and it had the most Gluten free options that I have ever had. We had great service from Gabby. I would definitely recommend The Carvery. Already planning a visit for our anniversary.

The Hawaiian beer is superb. My wife and I had a super lunch and can wholly recommend the Taphouse. We have eaten here several times for lunch and have never been disappointed. Would love to try the evening atmosphere! Cheers. D&B

Our go to place in St Agnes when we are eating out. Great food and service - and cocktails. Big Wave beer excellent also.

Dropped in at lunchtime & we were advised that there may be a delay due to being super busy,however we didn’t experience any delay in service which was great. We all ordered steak & frites and for the lunchtime special of £10 we all agreed...

A great fun restaurant which served funky delicious food. We were a large group attending a reunion and everyone was complimentary. All the staff were friendly and served us with a smile. A great place and a must visit when in St Agnes.

Amazing healthy nutritious food the curries are excellently flavoured the ambience spot on and the staff amazing we will definitely be back

Very tasty food and the cocktails were well made and well presented. The bar is kookily decorated in a fun surfer vibe. Staff were friendly and dealt with a large group order very well considering how many of us there was.

Dropped by for a few drinks one afternoon as staying in the area. The Tap House is a funky venue and great terrace. Lovely choice of drinks and the service was great. Didn’t have food, but the menu looked good.

It’s Felt like the tappy had lost it’s way a bit in recent years and was being usurped as “ the place to go in Aggie “ by others like the Aggie hotel - however The owner is back at the helm and the tappy...

Visited this hidden gem after a dog walk with my husband on our holiday. Lovely atmosphere, great drinks and friendly staff..even better they were dog friendly! A special shout out to the waitress Amy who was really helpful and friendly. Will definitely pay a visit...

Quirky place, worth a visit as a treat. Nice cocktails. Bit pricey. Good service. Outside area very relaxing space.

Just got back from a Holiday in Cornwall, several times we had drinks here and then decided to eat. The Crab was AMAZING! Staff friendly and environment was lovely you would think you were abroad. Two negatives to be mindful of - No parking at...

Super friendly staff, tasty food, good cider and dog friendly! Will be recommending to family and friends and would come again.

Really good atmosphere, excellent food and well presented. Staff attentive and made everyone feel welcome. If you decide just to turn up you may well be disappointed as we saw many people being turned away as the restaurant was full or the tables were pre...

It was raining and miserable so we decided lunch out somewhere different and I found this fabulous place in St Ives Very eclectic inside bright and colourful amazing friendly polite staff and the food was out of this world. There were 4 of us, 3...

Absolute belter of a restaurant. Great service with a smile. Food was fresh and delicious and the cocktails were well made and tasty. So good I went back a couple more times on my break in Cornwall

Make sure you book in advance as this is a popular spot for amazing food! The steak and lobster tacos are a must! We could not fault the service, quality of food or drinks!

Visited with friends looking for somewhere for lunch. We were delighted to find the £10 lunch menu. We each tried a different item. The food was excellent in each case with generous portions. Fast and friendly service and great ambience. Would definitely visit again.

Wow, what can I say. Lovely surroundings, very friendly staff, delicious reasonably priced food, a bit different to the normal. Especially recommend the poke bowls , big bowl full of very fresh different ingredients. Most of us had the pineapple fingers for dessert, and thought...

The outside of this restaurant looks like a tiki bar and was always heaving. We were shown to a table upstairs which wasn’t ideal as i was heavily pregnant and the stairs were a little steep. The seating was a little cramped too, the tables...

The food here was delicious and the staff are very friendly but we were dining as a family including a toddler and an elderly gran that was unable to visit the toilet as they are located up steep stairs with no hand rail. A little...

Great choice of food and something and a little different. Everything we tasted was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Definately worth a visit.

The negative for the Taphouse parking parking and parking if you are a mountain goat you will be fine if not the nearest parking is up a steep climb for about 2/3 mile up a steep hill. However the Taphouse does deliver on food atmosphere...

Well: first some one had posted a menu from 10 months ago. Same menu. The prices had increased 30- 40% !! Inflation is 10% - so this is pure profiteering. The dishes were quite good . However the chicken dish at £18 (had a tiny...

As always. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. We love it here whenever we come to Cornwall. Highly recommend

Wonderful Goan fish curry for the other half - one of the the best he's had! Extremely tasty and plenty of it. My three monkfish tacos were absolutely delicious. Chunky monkfish pieces in lovely sauce and pickled cabbage in taco wraps. The staff were friendly...

Thank you Scott for your excellent service and wonderful energy. The food was fantastic and the Island vibe was superb! If you ever need a professional SIA Door Supervisor then let me know:-) Thanks Reno

I popped in on the off chance of there being a table but it was fully booked so I took a table outside. It's so pretty out there, I loved the heaters - very cool! Food came out after 10 mins (Beyond Meat Burger), it...

Fantastic place. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Place has a great relaxed atmosphere and is 5 minutes walk from the beach. Had our evening meal at the Taphouse last night. The food was excellent quality. Highly recommend the dressed crab if it’s available....

Fab little place, friendly service, good choice on the menu. I had the tuna sushimi pokebowl and a passionfruit martini, both were so vibrant and fresh in looks and very very tasty! I’d definitely recommend this place if you fancy something different!

For a sleepy little village you just don’t expect a restaurant with such amazing food. We didn’t Expect exceptional food but we definitely got exceptional food! Service was fab, cocktails were fab & the food just as good as any top London restaurant!

This place is the jewel in the crown of Saint Agnes, I left satisfied with a full stomach and a grinning face. The lobster linguine I had was bussin and the drinks that accompanied were exotic and flavoursome made by the master mixologist Tom who...

I ate at a pub opposite, when my wife and I popped in for a drink afterwards. The vibe was great, staff lovely and the food looked nice. Next time I am in the area I will do my best to eat there. Only thing...

Passing by and popped in for a cocktail and a pint. Both great and service lovely so would recommend to anyone! Food which was coming out looked great too!

We made the mistake of trying to book a table via email and never got a response so just turned up. They hadnt picked up our email and apparently its best to message via their social media pages so be warned as the only tables...

What is going on with the tap house? I love this place. I usually rave about it. But last night I had one of the least delicious meals I can remember having in a restaurant. The poke bowl came with 4 lumps of beef that...

Another return visit as we are in the area. The Taphouse did not disappointed, again the staff were very attentive, especially as it was really busy. Dogs are allowed inside. Had spicy squid as a shared starter. I had Sri Lankan fish curry, my partner...

My wife made a reservation for the Taphouse for our first evening in St Agnes, celebrating my 50th Birthday. This Restaurant/Bar has such a cool vibe from the moment you walk up to it! Interior decoration is excellent, in keeping with the Surf scene on...

We came in for a drink after a Christmas party and didn't leave! The place was heaving and the music banging out such a friendly and relaxed place we stopped for ages really nice evening thanks team Tap house

what a fab outside setting for an afternoon of fun and cocktails with the ladies,staff were very attentive,next time we shall stay for supper

It would be nice if they could amend the opening details to show that food is not served all day… in fact it would seem nowhere in st Agnes takes food orders after 2.30 pm until 6.00. We drove an hour back to st ives...

OK it was out of season (just) but the place was buzzing. Young friendly staff, very welcoming and they made you feel they were pleased to have you there. The food was excellent, hot and tasty - hot plates ( a bonus in these days)....

Popped in for an early dinner (luckily), as if we had arrived later, we would have been out of luck ... Fully Booked from 6.30pm onwards! This is a really cool bar/restaurant with lovely friendly staff. Great range of drinks and plentiful plates of food....

We were staying on the doorstep of this place and how lucky were we! We had drinks and food here on several days during our stay and every time it was enjoyable. The place has a great terrace on the front with heaters meaning it’s...

This is the 3rd time we have visited over the last 4 years, this year again did not disappoint, excellent tasty food with refreshing quirky options. Service very attentive, the place is super cool and would thoroughly recommend

Having seen mixed reviews before our visit we went with an open mind. The Tap house had a great atmosphere, efficient service and the food was tasty and well presented . Looking forward to visiting again next time we are in St Agnes

Relaxed atmosphere, with a great look to the inside and outside dining areas. Staff welcoming and attentive, quick to clean down tables for next customers. Menu refreshingly different, high quality food, superbly prepared and presented.

Wow! I loved this place from the minute I walked in. Welcoming surfing vibe, relaxed decor and welcoming staff. Super cocktails (i had the blackberry Tarquin’s cocktail which was delicious) and a very decent Chilean Sauvignon blanc. The food was fab! My lobster Thermidor was...

We ate here twice during our week-long stay and had excellent service both evenings. The food was quite good, though the menu was somewhat limited. The only place in St. Agnes we found crab and lobster on the menu!

We booked a few days ahead. It was a busy midweek evening - we were shown to our table which was ready and waiting for us. Attentive, friendly service meant we felt very well looked after. Interesting menu with plenty of different things to choose...

Wow wow wow . Great guys and girls and amazing food and environment. The food is beyond anything I have ever tasted but be warn you need to book a table in advance

We came here without a booking, despite it being very busy the staff managed to accommodate us. The food was lovely but the service was exceptional. We came back again later in the week and it was once again brilliant food and service. We will...
