TheOld Pilchard Press in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

After several rainy days, to buy some really good sarnies and cake from ridiculously friendly people was just what we wanted: off to the benches by the harbour to watch the world go by. A delightful discovery

Visited here today, greeted by friendly Lady assume she was the owner. Food was really good. Only thing that let the place down was the unfriendly attitude of the male employee,he also may have been owner? He was abrupt, kept looking at his watch waiting for us to finish eating, as I think it may have been closing time, when we asked if we could have some more Tea, he grunted ‘ well I can put more water in your tea pot’ I could hear the lady owner voice her displeasure at the way he had presented our cream tea! She told him she wouldn’t serve it that way so god knows he must have just thrown it on a plate! Such a shame as it was a really quaint little café. He should not be customer facing at all.

We visited The old pilchard press cafe in May this year and returned again this September. Last time we had scones with jam and cream and raved about how good they were. Well we weren't disappointed this time, these scones are absolutely fantastic. None of the stodgy supermarket rubbish, these are remarkably light and don't fall apart at a glance. They're really worth trying if you're in the vicinity. Can't recommend enough! Mind you, got a bit of a disappointed look when I put the cream on first, oops!! 😆

We went with our four year old and had high tea and ice cream and then came back two days later because it was so great! The food was really nice and home made, and there were lots of options for kids. The waitress and owners were so friendly and welcoming and we had a great time. They were so good with kids too and there were lots of children’s books and colouring in to keep her occupied. We will definitely come back again!

We loved this place so much! We visited twice during our week-long holiday in Mousehole. We had a lovely high tea - the scones were some of the best we’ve ever had. We also had the special another time - tzatziki with pitta and olives and tortilla chips with salsa. The tzatziki and salsa were homemade and delicious. Our daughter loved her tuna sandwiches and especially the vanilla ice cream with a flake! But the absolute best part of this place are the owners - so kind and welcoming. Our daughter (4) was treated like a mini celebrity - everyone was so lovely to her and made her feel so special. They even remembered her on our second visit. We will absolutely come back as soon as we can, and will recommend them far and wide!

Came here for cream tea with my girlfriend today. Absolutely fantastic. The staff are extremely friendly and the scones are to die for. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This is a really nice cafe, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was great to. An asset to mousehole, thanks very much.

I had high hopes coming here on a sweltering day in Mousehole with my husband. We were greeted by a very friendly woman who I believe was the owner. I ordered warmed homemade scone, clotted cream and jam, hubby had the freshly made Victoria sponge with a side of clotted cream, his was lovely, mine on the other hand was not as the scone had been 'warmed' by putting it in a microwave, at least this is my assumption as it had no crisp outer like an oven warmed one and was just limp on the outside and soft and stodgy on the middle. I asked for butter which the owner happily said ok to , but was then slammed down by a rather surly chap from behind the counter. What made this so disappointing was that the owner had gone down to offer the local school teachers who were down by the harbour with a group of children some drinks, which she then took down, at this point the man started moaning that they need staff not her running off - there were only 6 people in the cafe! Then he continued to moan to the waitress that was still there. When the owner come back there was more bickering. To be honest I just wanted to relax and enjoy my food, not have to listen to someone else's griping.

Lovely little Cafe, Highly recommended, stopped in for lunch, fantastic home cooked food, had the smoked mackerel pate and home made cake, tasted amazing. The young lady Serving was fantastic and was very patient as we could decide what to have from the lovely menu. Only a small place, it is very popular, go back when they have a table if you have time. But they do do take away.

Yum cakes and scones, great coffee and the best hosts. The cafe is beautifully decorated and Mousehole is a must see village. Loved it. Xx

Tiny café but with a warm welcome and delicious food. My husband had the home made mackerel pate (best we've ever tried) with brown toast; I had prawn sandwiches (big juicy prawns) on quality, brown bread, with a side of salad (or crisps), home made seafood sauce and dressing. And coffee for us both. The café is run by Mum, Dad and their daughter – and they make it a very pleasant experience. Wish we lived nearer!

This restaurant has such good service. You feel at home as soon as you walk through the door and they do their best to make you feel at ease. As soon as we were shown to our table the lady brought over books and cars for our son to keep him happy while we got on with sorting out our lunch. When the lady saw that our son had eaten all his cucumber she brought him some more. The food was excellent and they catered for my lactose intelligence. The restaurant is very clean with a brilliant atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

What a fantastic little find, incredibly friendly staff and stunning homemade food. Will definitely go back next time we're in the area.

Found this little cafe by chance. Very friendly owners. Tasty sandwich and good coffee. The cakes looked really good but too full to eat more.

Beautifully served freshly made sandwiches. Cream teas with delicious scones and chocolate cake to die for! Very relaxed and friendly hosts.

Fantastic food. Excellent and atmospheric cafe. Afternoon tea was excellent. Visited with my Husband and Daughter. We all had afternoon tea. The staff were very friendly. Food was excellent, especially the scones. Great value for money.

Stumbled on this cafe by chance and so glad we did. A very warm welcome and a lovely homely atmosphere. Good choice of lunchtime food mostly homemade, and very good value for money. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend.

We called in on a very hot Wednesday whilst on holiday.The staff were friendly,professional and funny.We ordered a sharing platter of tomato salsa,tortilla chips,taramlasta, pitta bread and olives pulse two cols drinks.The platter was a mix of hot,cold,spicy and tasty but cooling.Though we said we wouldn't eat it all we did it was great and very tasty and all home made including the olives.The staff were lovely and attentive and would go again.Look at the little detail of Mr mouse door on one if the walls :)Thank you for a great lunch well worth a visit

Lovely lunch of cheese and pickle sarnies on yummy granary bread with a side salad and then my husband had a homemade scone with cream and jam. Have been before but think it was different owners.Definitely going back for cake next time after reading the other reviews!

We fell upon this beautiful little place whilst passing through Mousehole at lunchtime in the rain. Such super friendly people and everything on the menu looked delicious, with lots of homemade cakes. The specials all sounded lovely - one of which was fresh homemade mackerel pate which i very highly recommend!!!

Completely agree with comments re staff from previous review….I laughed when I saw it , for feeling exactly the same . such a shame as the Victoria Sponge was the best we’ve ever had ! Well done happy staff member for clearly doing a fantastic job , needs to improve should maybe stay in the background . It’s really not hard to be kind and smile ( whatever side of the bed you got out of! ) It’s a strange time for us all , but being polite back to polite paying customers is a must .

Very small tea rooms offering sandwiches, cream teas and fresh home made cakes and scones with afternoon teas a speciality. Very nice slices of cake, the sandwiches looked tasty too. A takeaway service is also available. Service is pretty good, it seems to be run by and husband and wife team, one is extremely welcoming, the other really needs work on their peoples/hosting skills though.

A little difficult to find but worth every moment spent looking for it. Wonderful cream tea, the scones were to die for as were the rest of the cakes. All food is home cooked by the owners and they made us very welcome. Will be back for sure.

Only a small cafe run by a man and woman. The lady obviously loved her work, warmly welcoming guests, taking orders, making the food and ensuring we were happy, not just once either. When asked about gluten free options she explained that she knew exactly what was GF as she made everything herself. Her non GF panini's were very tasty. All in all a very pleasant experience.

My family and I were in Cornwall for 5 days and this was our favourite place to visit.Staff sat us down straight away and were super friendly! Felt very comfortable, as a couple of other restaurants were not as nice to us over the trip. So we were very grateful that we found this place.In 5 days this was the only place we saw that did homemade scones. Everything here is homemade and delicious from the specials board and to the cakes.Will definitely be going back if we ever visit Cornwall again.

Wow!!!! This cafe was perfect for us. Very welcoming lady, who treated us to some books to read on arrival-Mr Men for the kids and I won’t spoil the surprise for adults, but we did have a laugh. Kids menu was fab, sandwich choice for us. Also simple bits like crumpets for kids not keen on sandwiches, which was great for my son. The panini I had was delicious, the specials looked amazing too. Best chocolate cake I have ever had-warmed, light and lovely chocolate sauce. I even stole the remains on my children’s plates!!! All of us were in agreement that this cafe deserves top marks!

What a brilliant experience. Probably the highlight of our long weekend away in Cornwall. We will be back just to taste more of what Harriet & Kim have to offer. My husband and I had Harriet's homemade smoked mackerel pate (me on a gluten free panini) and Bill, on fresh granary bread. My earl grey tea served in a vintage cup was the best accompaniment. Bill's coffee was sublime (no wonder the locals vote it has Mousehole's best coffee!). The teenagers had warm chocolate cake, never have we experienced anything as joyful. Well it was an unexpected joy and it makes a memory that we will all cherish - and make sure that we come back again! Thank you Harriet & Kim. You are the perfect hosts ❤️

Even if it is not just tea you’re looking for, this cafe is quaint and delightful for many reasons. When we first arrived, we announced that we were a group of six from the same family. We were unsure as to whether we would be able to be accommodated due to being a big group, however, we were quickly welcomed indoors. The host of the cafe was truly charming and welcoming and she made everything on the menu sound truly delicious. The cakes and scones are homemade. We all opted for a cream tea. The pots of tea were big so you didn’t need to worry about only getting one cup as it certainly did at least 3. The scones were warmed up and there was a mountain of Cornish clotted cream to slather upon our scones. You could choose from different flavour jams (strawberry, raspberry and sour cherry are some that I can remember), but, we all opted for strawberry jam and it was tasty. I loved that the host said we should be Cornish and make sure our cream went on the scone second. She was very friendly, smiley and welcoming. The toasties smelt and looked yummy. If I went again, I would definitely be tempted by the smoked mackerel pate. What a quaint, Cornish cafe! I would definitely return again if I were in the area.

We went to Mousehole and found this little cafe by chance as it is at the far edge of the village. Glancing inside we thought it looked quaint and inviting so after a warm welcome thought let's give it a try. Great decision as the sandwiches and creamed teas were to die for. We could not resist the chocolate cake so took some as a take out for later.It was probably the best chocolate cake I've ever had. After talking to one of the owners he told us he makes all the cakes in the early hours every morning so you know they are all fresh. Next time we are in the area we will be calling back to catch up and have another special treat.

Delicious cream tea and very friendly staff, highly recommend! Everything was fresh and tasty ! Warming the tea pot before serving- fab ! China cups, so appropriate !

Lovely welcome and amazing value for money we called in for a cup of tea and had the afternoon tea homemade scones loads of clotted cream and jam and a great pot of tea it was just perfect .Great covid 19 protection in place and made to feel so welcome by the family who run this gem of a cafe.

Stopped in for a break on 21st September. Enjoyed paninis and coffee, and got talking with the owners, who were very friendly and hospitable, and it made for a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to returning when the safety restrictions can be lifted.

We found this after walking around Mousehole trying to find somewhere suitable. Lovely find and warm welcome. The visit was spoilt by where we were asked to sit which was too close to another couple. There was table for 4 in window which looked lovely and in the sunshine I thought because we were 2 we were put where we were so never asked to move. However a young couple walked in minutes after and was given a choice. I felt we should have been given a choice also and in these days of social distancing felt uncomfortable through lunch and as if we were 2nd class

A quite fantastic lunch break in this little gem just off the harbour. The mackerel pate was freshly made and the coffee to follow in the affogatto was better than found in Italy. Really friendly delightful couple could not do enough for you. Go there if you can.

Has said preciously a hidden gem. Fabulous home made scone, try it with the sour cherry jam, a delightful alternative. Had a superb flat white to accompany made with a 25 year old Italian coffee machine. A great find!

My partner and I went here for lunch when we visited on an awfully wet day!We were warmly welcomed by the staff! The cafe is small but comfortable and we had space! It was also incredibly clean.My partner will not stop raving about the coffee! We were even educated about the vintage coffee machine they use! ☕The homemade food was another level. We tried the homemade salsa and nachos, homemade tzatziki and pitta, and homemade marinated olives. I can categorically tell you that my partner and I inhaled these! These were all amazing - try them you won't regret it. It is also a welcome change from the usual pasties etc.!We did however stick to traditional and ordered a high tea. The sandwiches were made fresh to order - my partner does not like fish and Harriet (the owner) was kind enough to change one of the sandwiches for us! Lovely service. The homemade scones were incredible. The best in Cornwall for sure - they were fluffy, light and served warm! Unbelievable.We had a wonderful time and we will be coming back here.Thank you to Harriet, Kim and Blaze

Simply divine cream tea, and the chocolate and Victoria sandwich cakes were fabulous! Super friendly welcome too! Don’t just call in at the 1st cafe you see - seek out the Old Pilchard Press!! You won’t be sorry.

Delicious, freshly made scones, fab coffee and lovely warm welcome. One not to miss just off the harbour area

We went to Mousehole today and came across this lovely cafe. Very welcoming and safe measures all in place! My fussy 4 year old was well catered for! Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Such a quaint, lovely place with delicious homemade food. Super friendly atmosphere. Feels like visiting old friends.

My family and I attempted to sit down for a coffee and some food this afternoon when we were greeted by a moody male member of staff. We asked kindly if we could take the table by the doorway and whether this was booked, to which he sighed and responded, “no it is not booked. You won’t fit there. Sit at this table”, in an unwelcoming tone. We decided not to dine at this cafe, will not be recommending it and certainly not returning. Never experienced such a cold welcome and poor service in Mousehole. Shame.

Lovely little cafe in Mousehole. Very welcoming and friendly staff, great coffee and cake. Portions were a little small for our liking, but the great service and atmosphere made up for it.

Wonderful food and friendly service. I had the 3 cheese panini, which was yummy, the kids and my husband also enjoyed their food. I was so full and quite disappointed I couldn’t squeeze in a cake for pudding. Such a friendly and welcoming service with good measures in place during this covid summer.

A super little find with homemade cakes and light meals, really enjoyed it and the owners couldn’t do enough to help.

Morning coffee needed on a wet day, this cafe had just opened and we were welcomed in.An attractive cafe with a delightful land lady who was cheerful and helpful. She told us that her chocolate cake had just been baked, so we had a slice to share with what was very good coffee.The cake was wonderful. Warm, with lashings of cream chocolate filling and topping and a huge slice. Plenty for two people.If it's a cafe you seek in Moushole, for snack or light lunch, this is well worth a visit.

We visited last week for lunch, the owners were very friendly, jovial and keen to please.Everything we ate was home made, soup, mackerel pate and chocolate cake, the tea was excellent, steaming hot and my coffee was the best I have had for a long time.Don’t walk past this gem, the owners are so friendly and hospitable.Very many thanks for a lovely trip down memory lane, reading the Mousehole Cat!

We visited this café last week and the food was very good and value for money. Very charming quaint tea room, lovely comfortable surroundings. May be worth checking the opening times if visiting late in the day, I think we possibly visited at a time that they were needing to close earlier , closing times in the window stated 5pm , however at 3.30pm they were keen to close. This was not a problem for us, however the male staff member was not the `friendliest` and made us feel rushed and unwelcomed, not the best customer care, but we acknowledge that most likely they were just having a bad day, that we all have on occasions. The female staff member was very friendly and pleasant. A bad day by staff would not put us off visiting again!!The food was very good in a beautiful setting, would recommend the food.

We stumbled across this cafe while visiting Mousehole. Friendly service, great selection of food, cakes and cream teas. I would definitely recommend a visit. Good value for money too.

Stopped in for a cream tea and was pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff and charming decor. Scones were baked fresh that day and were thoroughly enjoyed. A bit hard to find but worth the extra few steps.

TL;DR: delicious cream tea, would come again, would recommend to friends.Looks tiny from the outside, charming and airy and bright and refreshing inside. The cream tea was excellent - my mother, who is 70 and has rather a lot of experience with scones, said that it was the best scone she had ever had. I would agree - the scone was sweet, and slightly crumbly without being dry. Smoked mackerel patê with toast was mild and not too fishy.I’m taking one star off because the place is small, and as it filled up I felt like they were rushing us a bit to be able to re-use the table, but if I were staying longer I would definitely come back to try the coffee and the teacakes and other baked goods.

We visited this cafe last year and was very impressed with the place. We came back this year and I would highly recommend this place if you are in Mousehole. The staff are very friendly and they do the best cream tea in Cornwall as far as we’re concerned, and we’ve had some. All the food is first class and made by the owners. Can’t recommend this place enough. They go above and beyond to make everyone welcome.

Really nice cream tea and friendly and swift service. Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

Just a brief comment on this lovely little cafe. Very helpful friendly staff and Lovley food would visit again if in the aera

We were looked after so well from the moment we arrived. A couple of our party had complex dietary requirements, but the restaurant went above and beyond to make sure they were catered for. The chef/owner came out to fully understand our requirements and she clearly had good knowledge of food intolerance and allergies. I can not recommend them highly enough. We all had a great meal.

The homemade scones were to die for, everything a scone should be. They were warm, soft, but dense in the middle, with a lovely crumbly crust. There is a choice of jam, proper clotted cream (of course) and the tea is served in a pot with fine bone china cups and saucers.

Their window sticker states they are rated as excellent through reviews; I feel they require an 'outstanding' or 'in a league of their own' tier to be added just for these guys.

As a family we visited beautiful Mousehole and stumbled across a pretty little cafe. The owners welcomed us in and we all chose cream teas. To be honest it was so difficult to chose what to eat as everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelt delicious.

Selbstgebackene Scones und Kuchen, nette Bedienung, cooles altes Gebäude in Hafennähe. Und ganz klar der beste Kaffee in Moushole, der Cappuccino war Top. Und als Bonus: der Besitzer spricht auch Deutsch.

We were after a family afternoon tea, came to this little cafe in Mousehole at 3.40pm. The door was open, but we were told by the man cleaning tables that they were closed. If you google their opening it says 11-4 and I do feel they should keep the hours they advertise. From the other reviews it sounds like we would have enjoyed the food. Such a shame.

We took my mother in law to have a cream tea whilst we enjoyed owners homemade tomato salsa and tasizki with pita bread and olives. We had a very warm welcome and the food and service was fab - my mother in law (very hard to please!) said these were the best scones in Cornwall well done to the chef you have a fab cafe would highly recommend

Form the start we received great welcome, friendly staff. Food was great fresh and tasty. Thank you !

This is a typical example of how NOT to run a cafe. No butter on bread. Fillings consisted of the very cheapest ingredients in minuscule portions. Pretentious and not cheap. 👿

Myself, my wife and 2 kids enjoyed lunch/afternoon tea in the Old Pilchard Press today. The homemade scones and tea were delicious and the homemade chocolate brownie and chocolate cake were to die for. It is really family friendly and the owners Kim and Harriet were really friendly and engaging with the kids. If we go to Mousehole again we will definitely revisit the Old Pilchard Press. Can highly recommend this little hidden treasure.

We were only in Mousehole for a few hours and wanted something small and simple for lunch after a huge breakfast earlier. Popped into The Old Pilchard Press and discovered it had new owners a couple of years back and thought we'd give it a try. It was perfect for what we wanted - I had the homemade mackerel pate with toast and the others had sandwiches which were fine. Lots of people were already on the cream teas and they certainly looked popular too. The couple running it were very enthusiastic about all their homemade produce and everything looked very nice in there. Yes we'd visit again when next in Mousehole. It's near the far end of the harbour car park just up a lane from where you used to pay for parking.

What a lovely warm welcome we had as we entered this charming little place. The fresh home baked scone was perfect and the coffee cake was adorable. A very friendly service. Thank you

The welcome was genuine and much appreciated. The choices were ample and varied and very tasty. The ice-cream variaties were quite amazing and again tasty. Nothing seemed like too much trouble. Would certainly return and recommend "The Pilchard",

We visited last week and had a perfect cream tea, the owners are very friendly and made us very welcome.

Called in for lunch and received a lovely warm welcome from the lady who I assume was the owner. She provided books for our Grandson and nothing was too much trouble. My Son enjoyed tzatziki with pitta bread and olives, my Husband had crumpets and I had a toasted t cake, my Grandson had a lovely ham sandwich with crisps on really fresh home made bread. I couldn’t resist a home baked warm scone with jam and clotted cream, utterly delicious!! Would highly recommend a trip if you are in Mousehole it’s a real find and a lovey spot at the end of the harbour, beautiful.

Walked through Mousehole on a wet and windy day. Got to the end of the harbour and found this cafe round the corner. Lovely warm welcome from the owners, we had paninis which were very filling but we managed to share a cream scone - delicious!

I visited today with my 2 children and really enjoyed it! Very friendly and welcoming, made an effort with the children, had books and colouring to keep them entertained. We enjoyed a hot drink, chocolate cake and lovely warm scones. Definitely recommend 😀

Where to start! The smoked makerel pate was a-maze-ing. My mouth is watering thinking about it! My 9 yr old said the chocolate cake was the best ever too. Staff were fantastic. So friendly and playing with the kids when they got the chance. Couldn’t ask for more.... except maybe the cafe moving closer to where I live!!

We were having a stroll around Mousehole and were welcomed in by the owners as we stopped to peruse the menu. We had a cream tea and then an extra scone between us because they were so good! The scones were freshly baked that morning and were still warm Generous helpings of clotted cream, a choice of several jams and the tea being topped up meant that we had excellent value for money. The lady and gentleman running the café were very friendly and made it an even nicer experience because of this. Would highly recommend :)

Really welcoming service, couldn’t have been friendlier and done more for you.

what a lovely welcoming café. so lovely people and food is all home cooked. fresh scones every day, owner makes his own mackerel pate, pork pies etc. coffee was lovely and we though the prices where sooo reasonable. the lady even offered to top up our water as she knew we were walking. what a find. can't wait to go back to mousehole.

Brilliantly run by brilliant people. Nothing too much trouble, insightful and attention to detail. Going to visit Mousehole? Call in, the reality is you’re really doing yourself a favour.

We had just parked up in Mousehole and were making our way to to the harbour when we walked past a delivering sandwiches to some people sat in the sun.

Stopped for coffee and a bite, great coffee and superb scone,( must remember cream on top top of jam.).Slightly obscure location up lane from south pier car park. Well worth the search. Friendly personal service. Look for them.

We were enticed in here just as the heavens opened with the promise of warm chocolate cake on the board outside, and we were welcomed wholeheartedly. The freshly made chocolate cake was fabulous with ice-cream and set us up to face the next heavy shower that came along.

The food and service was amazing. Most welcoming and could not do enough for us. Homemade pate was delicious and pigged out having a cream tea too! Would definitely re-visit

Excellent overall. Great customer service and also great with kids. Scones were home made and served with pride. I see some reviews saying that prices are abit steep at end of the day you pay for experience not just for food! I can't wait to return in the near future.

After walking around the harbour we stumbled on this little gem of a cafe, the service was excellent, very polite, friendly and child friendly with books and colouring for them, food well presented and good price

This little gem is set just off of the main street , we received a lovely welcome , nothing was to much trouble for our hosts.my husband had the homemade smoked mackeral pate which he said was the best he'd ever tasted , extra toast was offered if required , I had the cream tea which wad served in quaint bone china cup & saucer,this again was deliciously home made . Another diner was discussing the home made pork pie with the proprieter who spoke with such enthusiasm about his wears the we were tempted to buy a pork pie for later , this again was delicious

A lovely little tea room with fantastic friendly service and great homemade cakes. We would return here again :)

Superb cafe hidden away. Away from the maddening crowds and right by a little beach within the harbour. Just off the coastal path and the ate staff so friendly and welcoming. They couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant if they tried. Ideal if you have a little ones as they have a high chair, books and toys.

Found a little gold mine on Old Quay Street in Mousehole Cornwall. Excellent service hospitality and general knowledge of the area . Cream tea is just perfectly delicious and all home made. The couple that run the place are bubbly and nothing is too much trouble and reasonably priced

We stopped at the Pilchard Press Cafe for lunch and got a very warm welcome! Great mains and cakes! Spotlessly clean and very reasonable. Excellent spot for walkers. Highly recommended!

Lovely food, perfect cream teas, staff very pleasant and helpful, coffee really good, will be back for sure

The hostess here could not have been more accommodating. She offered some variations on the menu so that I got exactly what I wanted. She was equally welcoming to all the customers.The cakes looked fabulous although I didn't have any.

This little cafe is slightly off the beaten track in Mousehole. Brilliant welcome and excellent friendly staff. I had mackerel which was freshly made that morning and was delicious. Cake and clotted cream to finish which was delightful.

A lovely find on our visit to Mousehole..a warm friendly greeting the owners very sociable and fun. Fantastic beverage menu tasty homemade scones still warm from the oven we were almost tempted to have a homemade chocolate brownie too!!

No one visiting Mousehole should miss having a cream tea here. The scones were so good.....light and fluffy and delicious clotted cream and jam. I had a cappuccino as I don't drink tea which was also good. My friends had the traditional cups of tea. The owners Harriet and Kim were very friendly too!

Abbiamo preso in questo posto il nostro consueto tea pomeridiano, l'atmosfera è molto accogliente e i proprietari sono molto, molto ospitali e simpatici. Abbiamo scherzato sul loro caffè essendo noi italiani ed abbiamo gustato delle ottime torte. il prezzo è allineato a quello delle altre tea room che abbiamo frequentato durante il nostro viaggio. Lo consiglio.

So friendly and welcoming. Food freshly made. Best scones I’ve ever tasted! Well worth a visit you won’t regret it. Thank you for the welcome and quality food 😁

Came across this place walking up and down dale around Mousehole. One of my favourite Cornish villages! Extremely friendly staff, lovely and family run. Always a bit worried about going into little places with a pram but weren’t made to feel like a nuisance or anxious at all. Had the most delicious lunch in a fantastically friendly atmosphere. If they have the homemade mackerel patê on when you go I urge you to have it, it’s fantastic. Also loved the selection of jams available for scones. Thank you for a memorable visit. X

Came here for a quick lunch and a drink after some crabbing. Lovely panini's and sandwiches with great hot drinks and a few snacks. Really good that the provided a colouring book for the little ones. Very very friendly atmosphere.

Found this lovely place by accident. Could not recommend it higher. Family run business, great atmosphere, so friendly. Prawn sandwich the best ever, mackerel pate I could have eaten all day but had to have a scone! Lovely choice of jam, scones warmed and lashings of cream. Pass this place at your peril for you will truly regret it!

A brief visit to Mousehole and what a find for afternoon tea !!. Excellent , friendly service , perfect tea and scones served in ‘ proper ‘ China cups and cake stand !!.squeaky clean and folks who Know their stuff. An excellent experience and well up to standard of any fancy tea shops you might find in Bath or London . Stunning !!

We popped in for lunch & were made to feel most welcome & the food was lovely too. We have 4 children, 6 yrs old & under, they were so well catered for ensuring a pleasant family experience! Thank you x

Excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Mackerel pate well with the money. Coffee great. We enjoyed our visit an Mousehole is a quaint village.

Wonderfull cream tea and prawn Sandwich. All served on lovely china from friendly Lady. Waiter talked German to us when he found out we come from Germany. We will come again when we will return to Cornwall.
