Managed to book a table after not being able to get in the night before. Seemed really busy so thought it seemed promising. Couldn’t be more wrong. The place was dirty and tables were all sticky. Waitress very nice and was running around doing everything. Ordered food and starters arrived pretty prompt. Soup was tasty but cold. Mains then followed very quickly. I cut into my chicken and it was completely raw. Waitress was very apologetic and I was offered something else. I chose another linguine dish but to be honest this was just a bowl of slop and over cooked pasta. The other meals served were not much better either. I would give this place a miss and would definitely not recommend. Much better places to eat close by.

Been here several times for very good meals, but it seems to have changed; midweek visit and the upstairs was closed; prefer there as its much quieter. In the main part of the pub it was noisy, service was average. Very salty chips. Will be looking elsewhere next time

Such a lovely little pub with a great bouncy castle for the kids to work off some energy on. Food was so good! Great portion sizes. Only comment would be the salad needed more dressing. Staff were lovely and we were served quickly. Just sad the kids grew tired before we could make it to dessert!

Booked over the phone as I had found a lot of places booked out due to limited tables . We got there at 6 and our table was ready for us . Rather a basic set up , but then this is primarily a pub . We chose seafood linguini and fish and chips together with a cider and wine . The food was lovely and tasty , the cider good and the wine great value at just £5.60 for a 250ml glass. The place was quite lively and is dog friendly going off the number of pooches in there . We were pretty full after our mains and didn’t go for a sweet . Overall a good meal on a soggy evening.

Recently visited The Watermill with friends for Sunday lunch and everything was superb. Along with normal Sunday lunch fayre you could also order from the main menu or specials board so everyone even the fussy ones (like me) can be catered for. I washed my beef dinner down with a couple of pints of the locally produced lager that begins with a K and ends with a V, very nice indeed. Prices were very reasonable for the standard of food.The main building has been laid out very COVID friendly but for those that are still unwary about being inside can eat outside but as with most venues at the moment you have to book in advance.Next time we are down this way we will visit again in the week and sample some of their other wares.

We always book here when on holiday in Hayle and this year when I booked I asked for a ploughmans which wasn't on the menu but I'm veggie and didn't fancy any of the dishes offered. I even had a call the day we were going to check it was just one for me and they were very accommodating in making me one, which by the way was delicious. We all had a great meal as always and a fun night. We also always get a taxi as we stay just up the road at John Fowlers and we know parking is limited here, plus it means we can all have a drink or two. We will be back again, mark my words.

Visited with my wife on Sunday evening. I had the beef and ale pie which was really tasty. Unfortunately my wife's steak was tough which when complaining, we were told was down to issues with their supplier. My wife was offered an alternative which obviously took a while to turn up and unfortunately wasn't good. Service quite ordinary and wont be rushing back.

We were staying in the holiday park around the corner from The Watermill so thought we would drop in to have a meal. The food was delicious and the portion sizes are decent which is very hard to find nowadays! The atmosphere and look of the pub is very relaxed and the perfect place to chill and have a good meal. It was that good we tried to book again later in the week but they were fully booked, therefore if you want to try this delicious food book in advance. We found that they are also card only currently due to Covid but this wasn’t a problem for us. Thank you again to the staff and if we are in the area again we will definitely be visiting,

Turned up at the pub after booking for an early evening meal to find the car park full. Eventually parked on hatchings as there was no alternative parking close by.We were shown upstairs to our table which was in front of a window but was very cramped and possibly not in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.We had to wait a long time to receive our food which was ok but nothing special.Would probably give this a miss if we were visiting the area again.

The venue was very nice, an old mill with water mill displayed running. Experience was let down by poorly cooked food, medium rare steaks were well done, dry and over cooked. Mixed grill was over cooked and greasy. Beef Lasagne was double cooked and do dry it was uneatable. Need to try better for return trade unless you are only focusing on tourist one visit trade.

Living just a few miles away, we always comment that 'we should book a table there' as we pass by, so yesterday we did! What a lovely place! The gardens are beautiful with lots of bench seats on which to sip a cold drink whilst enjoying the quaint surroundings. The interior is charming and cleanliness was evidently paramount. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. The mixed grill was just the right balance of items and was beautifully cooked. We would recommend a visit and will be returning.

Eventually being able to park we went inside and was directed upstairs. At the top we were given menus and shown to our table. After just over 15 mins waiting to order drinks I hailed a staff member who then took the order. An extremely pleasant young waitress then took our food order. Food was reasonably good but on the steak pie I do hate those frozen ( I would suggest) puff pastry pie tops. The remaining order was good. Up in the corner we were that hot it was getting unbearable so we duly left without having a sweet. Sorry. Beer was good and reasonably priced. Otherwise nice rustic quaint venue

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. To start we had olives, rustic bread, and balsamic and olive oil to share, I have never had such a big portion before.

Staying at a nearby touring park, we booked this online at the last minute for a Sunday lunch. A lovely sunny day we chose to eat outside. Everything was done very well re:Covid-19 and social distancing. The food and drink was ordered and paid for and was a very prompt and swift service. The 2 Sunday roast (beef and lamb) were excellent, cooked nice and presented well. Nice couple of pints of draught cider washed our food down nicely. There really wasn't much fault at all. Definitely worth a visit and we will be back before we go home.

Every time we visit St Ives we walk on the coastal path from St Ives and end up at the Watermill for lunch. Lunch in the lovely garden was as good as always, Food is always tasty and good sized portions. They are doing a good job of sticking to distancing guidelines.We didn’t book and easily got a table outside, there wasn’t a single person inside so not sure if that’s open for lunch.There is a counter set up outside to order food and drink, the guy taking orders was miserable but I guess it’s no fun working in a mask. We will definitely be back when we visit in October.

We decided to take our, pre-booked, trip down to Cornwall a day after corona virus ‘lockdown’ ended. We hoped that Cornwall was open and ready to receive visitors. There was no need to worry as we found this fantastic pub/restaurant on our first afternoon and sitting in the pub garden with my first pub pint for four months. We were so impressed with their techniques and set-up to avoid personal contact we booked a table for a meal that evening. The evening was no different with plenty of space between tables. The menu was a limited menu. Limited but with plenty of choice for most tastes. Service in the restaurant and bar was fantastic, friendly, professional and swift. We loved it so much that, the next day we booked for the evening. Interesting watermill outside with the inner workings displayed in the bar area. A pub and restaurant that is well worth a visit.

Me and my girlfriend had a table booking in St. Ives earlier that day but were disappointed we had nowhere to park so we found The Watermill on maps as we aren’t local and hoped for the best. We arrived and had already forgotten about the disappointment of our morning when he entered because their beer garden was absolutely gorgeous, extremely approachable and friendly staff and affordable prices. A great pub suitable for families couples and friends. Great location and once again probably the best beer garden we’ve been in. Thank you!

Used to live in the area and travelled down from South Wales for a birthday meal which was a treat booked by my husband.Meal was in the restaurant. The food was good but spoilt by dreadful service. Met at the top of the stairs and handed menus and server pointed to our table in the corner. Given a few minutes to peruse the menu. Server came over and took our order. We chose a starter and main course. We were served the starters and dishes cleared. The main course duly came out and was served. We had to call the server back and asked for cutlery as there was only one knife and fork at each setting which we had used for the starter. Very little interest was shown in what they were doing. It seemed they wanted to do as little as possible. We asked for a jug of water and this was placed on the table with two glasses but no water was poured for us or not offered to be done. Coffee was asked for and two cups of coffee were placed on the table. We noticed that the handles of the cups were pointing away from us and into the centre of the table. So little interest in looking after the customer. We also noticed that on the table next to us extra drinks were ordered and duly brought to the table. The server placed the fresh drinks on the table but left many empty glasses on the table which looked very cluttered. The restaurant was nearly empty which, for a Saturday night, was surprising. It used to be busy with people eating both upstairs in the restaurant and also downstairs in the bar. There were only seven people in the bar.Why is this pub so deserted on a Saturday night?

I was just venturing out from where I was staying (St Ives Holiday village) in Cornwall, that I came across Watermill pub, it was lunchtime and I was hungry, I sniffed out good food and I drove in, I managed to get a parking space in their main car park which was very handy and was greeted with a lovely beers garden and relaxed atmosphere of its surrounding, being the Saturday lunchtime on August Bank Holiday it was busy and people were enjoying their drinks in a relaxed friendly atmosphere, I entered the building and went to order my food at the bur adjacent to a wonderful antique metal wheel with its rustic instrument from centuries ago which you couldn’t help but to marvel it and it’s the focal point of this charming place.

Came to St Ives & was looking for somewhere not too far out from where we were staying. We phoned to see if they had availability for that evening for the 4 of us, and did they happen to have a fish pie on the menu as my mum really fancied that. There was space, and yes they had a fish pie so they reserved one for us so they didn’t sell out (nice gesture) The car park is a little on the small side, but we got a space & managed to get my 80yr old father down the couple of steps into the pub. Table was reserved for us, we ordered 2 fish pies, 1 portion of mussels and I had pork loin with an apple sauce. I swapped mash for new potatoes & my meal was really tasty. Staff were polite & friendly, I’d certainly recommend a visit.

We haven’t eaten at the Watermill for a while and we’re really looking forward to it. However, the food was not as good as we remembered. Our sons meal was fine (chicken chunks, chips & peas) however my husbands seafood linguine was very poor. We would have expected the seafood to be local and fresh however my husband felt the seafood was frozen and it was absolutely tiny. This was very disappointing being in an area with so much fresh fish on the doorstep. My meal (bean chilli and rice) was fine but nothing special and nothing that would make me rush back. My husband did complain about the linguine and it was removed from the bill. On a positive note the menu is very extensive with something for everyone and a separate menu for vegetarians. On this occasion we didn’t feel we had good service as no one checked on the meals and even though my husband left his meal virtually untouched no one collected the plates or asked him about his meal. Parking is very limited.

Very pretty pub serving fairly standard pub food. Enjoyable but not particularly special and better to be had in nearby St Ives. Service varied from friendly to slightly surly depending on the individuals involved. The real problem was we came on a warm evening and the upstairs restaurant was unbearably hot and we couldn’t wait to get out for some fresh air, but I can imagine it would be lovely and cosy in the winter. In summary, a nice enough place but no wow factor.

Booked for 6pm, arrived to find cars queuing out on the road as there was no room in the small car park. The sign suggested parking at the Lelant Saltings park and ride (don't follow the 'Park and Ride' signs, they'll take you to St Erth about a mile away). The suggested parking is actually at Lelant Saltings station, on an unlit gravel open space at the back of the estate over the road, and a good ten minute walk away. If you want to abandon your car here good luck to you. We didn't, so went somewhere else. Very disappointed as the food gets good reviews.

Visited The Watermill mid week and had a lovely meal in the upstairs dining room. Very friendly staff and great service. Nice menu with a specials menu. If your looking for good old fashioned pub grub you won’t go far wrong. Excellent steak and ale pie and reasonable too.

Arrived at the restaurant, parking was tight but did see there was other parking not too far away. We hadn’t booked a table but was shown to a table upstairs in the restaurant, it was busy both downstairs and upstairs, lovely restaurant, good choices on menu and special board. Local produce and fish used which is great! Our starters arrived and was plenty and tasty! Our main meals came shortly after and we were both really pleased with quantity and presentation, tasty- we would definitely return again! Reasonable prices! Lovely beer gardens with ample space for outdoor eating.

Only managed a lunch here during our 3-day stay but would definitely have gone back if we'd had more time. A great welcome from the girl behind the bar, very good food and a unique watermill-themed vibe* made this a definite on the 'must go back on next visit to St. Ives' list.

We came here twice when we visited Carbis Bay, food was excellent,all home cooked. Only one little niggle .... we requested the the table we had on the first night as it was in the corner and with our dog it was perfect. She just lay in the corner out of the way. On our second visit we asked for the same table , we were told yes but keep the dog on the left side of the table and the right side takes you into the part where dogs are now allowed (no mention of this 2 nights previous) we agreed and sat down. Only 5 minutes later a family appeared with a Dalmatian and sat right in the no dogs area !!!! If I was to keep my dog on one side of the table how come this other family got to sit at a tab that’s actually in the no dogs area !!! Apart from that lovely food.

Wonderful food and helpful friendly staff. We have a fourteen month old grandson and we were given a table with plenty of space and room for a toddler. We recommend you book early as it is very popular with good reason. A lovely garden with a stream and a larger garden area over a pretty bridge.

We came here for dinner last saturday night while on holiday. We got a table outside as it was the only one they had left which we were happy with even though there was some kind of event going on outside. I asked for coke and was given Pepsi which I find annoying as it's not the same drink. Food was good I really enjoyed my Thai green vegetable curry! Partner and baby also enjoyed there food. We knew there was a party going on and that didn't bother us but what did was the people in this party leaving empty glasses on the table we were having dinner on and a couple sitting down and eating there food on our table!! They'd already sat down before they said "you don't mind do you?"! There were loads of tables on the side where there marquee was so why they thought it was OK to sit on our table I have no idea? No one checked on us to see if we or our food was OK, not even when we got the bill but overall the food was good.

Ate here twice during a recent weeks holiday in the area. Good range of choice of food for all and decent ales on tap. Service was good although the upper room restaurant area was full on both visits. Can recommend the seafood linguini and the cheese board

Alison and her team catered brilliantly for our group of 19, producing excellent food and wine to suit all our varied tastes. The staff looked after us so well - friendly, good humoured and efficient. Well done!

Really good food, cooked well, and served quickly despite the restaurant being busy. Very friendly and attentive young man that served us in the restaurant - unfortunately we didn't catch his name to make a specific mention..

Good parking and gardens. Great food and nice selection of drinks and ales. This would be 5/5 but for the bar staff who are humourless and not welcoming. Shame. Everything else was really good.

Had a wonderful meal of burger and chips, my friend enjoyed hers too but couldn’t remember what she had, and there is a nice selection in the menu. Six in the evening on a Thursday wasn’t busy then but a lot of tables were reserved, with more being reserved as we were there and this was downstairs in the bar. Get there early or reserve your table early. There is also a restaurant upstairs but I had my dog so never visited it. Price of food was good and as it wasn’t busy at the time food was quick as well, with my burger being homemade and juicy. The pub and restaurant had a fair size car park but not the biggest, when the pub is very busy I can see there maybe some problems with parking possibly. Beautiful building with a working waterwheel and friendly staff. Will visit again when back that way.

Lovely old building, as the name suggests a working? watermill/wheel adds to the character of this old building. The Monday evening we went with friends it was out of season and the downstairs was half full. There is an upstairs restaurant where the kitchen is judging by the prepared food coming downstairs. The upstairs wasn't open but plenty of room downstairs.

Really nice food and at really good prices ! The portion sizes are very generous as well. Only down side is that the staff weren’t the happiest on my visit. Would highly recommend !

Went to this place after hearing about the food. This place is dog friendly, so took the puppy. The food was amazingly fresh and tasted brilliant. We will be returning again, the desserts were fabulous.

The staff were very friendly. The hot drinks were alright and the cakes were alright. They didn't rush us. The whole atmosphere was really nice and lovely. I didn't have to raise my voice to speak to my boyfriend who has a hearing impairment which is a hearing aid.

We were on holiday and ended up eating here 3 times. We had our dog who typically was nervous in eating places so we never bothered eating out, we were given a table in the corner and asked for the same one every time which they obliged as she was settled, it helped that the staff were all so helpful and the food was so nice, would highly recommend the Pityme Inn and we will visit again, it made our holiday
