Tremenheere Kitchen in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Beautiful food, worth a trip on its own. Very friendly and kind staff, nothing is too much trouble.

A must place to visit for lunch, the food is delicious and very well thought out. Wonderful to eat outside in the sun!

Tasty cream scone and jam and good pot of tea. Quality coffee. But the miniscule portion of cheese with very tasty cheese scone and pickles was insulting.A thin triangle of cheese that didn't cover 1/4 of the scone.

Love this place. Sat outside with a view of the mount. One of our favourites.

Excellent scone - Cream tea - well done

I had to wait about 30 minutes for my late Sunday lunch, but the fish and salad was totally worth it. The restaurant was quite busy, but I'll definitely be back next time I visit Cornwall. The succulent plant shop next door was also amazing - they had a huge range of species, including some rare collections. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves indoor plants.

Lovely little restaurant/café with delicious food in a beautiful green setting. We came with someone with fairly severe dietary restrictions expecting for them not to be able to eat, but the staff were fantastic and worked out something bespoke, as well as going through all the ingredients in detail to make sure it would be alright. Great food and great service.

We had beer battered fish and chips. The batter and fish were good but, sadly, they hadn’t bothered to skin the fish which is fine if you’re just having a fillet but doesn’t go well with batter as it can’t be removed. The chips were obviously bought in and thrown in hot fat until they were dry. The service was good but it was pretty noisy with loud music. As locals we were very disappointed as this used to be an excellent place to eat.

Had a wonderful meal here as part of our visit to the sculpture gardens. The food was great, plenty of veggie options to choose from, including a few vegan items. The staff were fantastic and made the experience a highlight of our holiday.

Absolutely amazing food, we had a selection and everything was brilliant. Starters, mains and puddings. The staff were absolutely incredible, made you feel at home instantly and extremely comfortable. We have a reactive dog and when he was barking we moved tables, they said we didn't need to and it was fine but we were more comfortable doing so. They totally understood the issue and made sure we were fine and comfortable. Felt like you were talking to people who cared about the job and the customers from start to finish.

Delicious food overlooking lovely gardens. Wonderful service. Thanks.

Lovely roast dinner, only downside was the small portion of cauliflower cheese mixed for 3 people, so only 2 were able to have any! Which was a shame because it was delicious 😋

Fantastic food. Beautiful setting, lovely staff and stunning gardens, shop and garden plants for sale. Because it's such great food and setting, good idea to book as they do get very busy, not surprising.

Wonderful restaurant/cafe. The standard of the cooking here is very high and consistent. Inventive seasonal menus served by very friendly staff team. Todays catch of the day, pan-fried Hake was wonderful. Thank you.

This is an amazing treasure alongside a fantastic destination - we had really excellent lunch, very fresh and varied, and were well looked after by the team.

Really delicious food and excellent service! A beautiful location near the sea as well.

Turned up to be told they couldn't find our our booking. I explained I'd booked on line for brunch, only to be told that they were no longer serving breakfast. I queried why we were allowed to book for breakfast at 11.15 and the response was that we were late! I agreed that we were indeed 5 minutes late and explained that I had phoned to say that we were running late, but couldn't get an answer and so had to leave a message. Its such a shame because we regularly frequent and promote this restaurant, but we will not be returning due to the manner in which we were treated. Unhelpful and unpleasant!

Popped in for breakfast, what a gem!

Such a hidden gem..Top notch brunch for our New Years Day treat at the Tremeneer Kitchen, Tremenheer Sculpture Gardens which is local to me.. Always good to spend time with family and friends at somewhere special ✨😊🥳

Great atmosphere, festive decorations, wonderful service ☕

We went for lunch today. The service was quick and attentive without being pushy. The food was equally as good. We had the burgers and the vegan cauliflower which was delicious. The vegan brownie was a large portion and delicious. It was great to go somewhere with a few vegan options and non vegan options for everyone. Would definitely recommend people visit here. The service is some of the best we have had in a long time.

My daughter and I went here on a Monday afternoon in the winter and the restaurant was busy. We chose the Buttermilk Turkey burger, being Christmas time, and it was absolutely delicious. The battered crumb mix around the turkey breast was amazing, crunchy and flavoursome with melted Gruyère cheese on top and pickled red cabbage and caramelised onion chutney underneath, it was truly mouth watering. The menu had a good selection of choice and the sweet selection amazing. We had the warm brownie with raspberry sorbet to share, as we were so full but needed a sweet finish. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was full, however we were well looked after. This was our second visit, albeit years apart with still a high standard achieved. A real wood fire going to create atmosphere and keep the room warm. A delight.

We often have breakie there perfect place for friends to meet up

The most amazing experience, god I wish all service was as friendly and attentive as tremenheere kitchen. The girls working the day we went couldn’t have been nicer. Everything arrived beautifully presented and tasted delicious and fresh. Can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back. After exploring the most magical gardens we were greeted with huge smiles from the staff. We were lucky the sun was out so we got to sit on the terrace. The food arrived quickly as did the drinks, we asked for recommendations out of the fish choices and both opted for the crab linguine. Absolutely delicious and made even better by a glass of French rosè, someone knows their wine as it was top notch. We asked for coffees after and our waitress kept an eye on us and waited for us finish our wine before delivering delicious fresh ground coffees. Although this sounds obvious our waitresses attention to detail made the experience seamless for us. All in all a fantastic experience and we will for sure return again. In short, don’t miss out on this place, you can visit without using the garden so makes a great place just to pop in. I recommend calling ahead and booking! I’d give 10 stars if I could.

Young women running the place are as good as ever but the quality of the breakfast/brunch has deteriorated significantly. Whilst I might have recommended it unreservedly last year I wont be doing the same this year. What happened to the delicious tomato ketchup relish served with the bacon sandwich? The menu price and the food served sadly dont now match.

kitchen at gardens. Food is delicious with fresh local ingredients. Big portions. Staffs are super friendly Food is slow to serve. But bearable as we are on a chill holiday mode.

Service was very friendly but a tad delayed. We all enjoyed our food & drinks. It has lots of natural light, which may bother people with sensory issues (the light varied from a bit too bright for me to much more comfortable when there was some cloud cover). It was also fairly loud, which could be an issue for anyone with hearing issues.

Awesome all round and clearly an excellent chef and staff. Food was fab and so was everything else! Loved it 😅😅

Excellent food and customer service. Ever changing evolving menu throughout the year. Polite and professional staff.

Very accommodating - went today with my Italian mother and Aunt and they smashed it with the language barrier, and made us feel really welcome. Food 10/10.

Best Sunday roast I have had in Cornwall We made the journey down to taste the Sunday roast as we had heard it was good Was definitely worth the journey Forgot to take a picture of before but here is the plate after

Possibly the best Sunday roast I've had. We had the pork which came with a Yorkshire pud, roasties, braised cabbage, cauli cheese, greens and gravy. Generously heaped onto the plate and very nicely cooked throughout. Keep up the good work! We'll be back

Very accommodating and friendly staff. Absolutely superb Sunday dinner, so lucky to have this place on my doorstep.

Best tasting roast I’ve had eating out!

Literally the best damn roast around. every time 👍

Fresh, tasty, imaginative, local menu in a stunning setting. Wonderful, friendly staff - absolutely recommend a visit, even in Winter when the gardens are shut.

Another superb roast and dessert. Friendly,efficient staff.Very helpful.

Excellent spot for breakfast 🥣 lovely staff, gorgeous position, highly recommended 😎

Wow! What an incredible roast, honestly think it's the best roast I've ever had out!

Lovely location, great food and service. Very busy so book early.

Fantastic service and atmosphere, the food was incredible

Lovely food and friendly staff. This was a last minute decision so hadn't booked but arrived just before 12 (when the start serving lunch) so they were able to fit us in. Between us we had the beer battered fish and chips, the crab tart, the belly pork which was the special of the day, and a child's fish and chips. We couldn't fault any of the food and the service was relatively quick and brilliant. Outstanding fresh food!

Don't come here if you don't have a reservation as they only have two chefs. They don't have time for people to eat in and take away

Don’t bother coming if you have no reservations. They won’t serve you even though they got half a restaurant empty. Go to Cutty Sark restaurant and bar as they have much better customer service. It’s only 6 minutes drive from Tremenheere for better experience.

Fantastic place to visit. Lovely staff and superb food. Well worth a visit but booking is definitely advised.

Staff very helpful and friendly, food very tasty but quite expensive

As usual amazing food,beautiful setting and lovely staff. Great every time.❤

Delicious lunch, beautiful gardens

Had lunch here on a cool cloudy weekday. Despite the weather they were busy, we hadn’t booked. It looked as tho there’d be a long wait for a table but the friendly waitress squeezed us in. I recommend booking. Had a very nice meal, promptly served despite it being busy. Choices are healthy or indulgent. Not cheap but value for money. Very pleasant surroundings. Plenty of parking. Clean loos.

So disappointed. Usually Tremenheere offers a varied menu of delicious, creative dishes in sensible quantities. The Spring 2022 offering is huge portions of the sort of boring food you can get anywhere - think fish and chips, steak and chips, a grossly oversized croque monsieur and a couple of very basic vegan dishes. It didn’t help that the mains took almost an hour to arrive and the server forgot to pass on our order for coffee

Myself and my partner booked a Sunday Lunch after a number of recommendations. We were not disappointed. One beef and one pork, locally reared, vegetables grown locally, excellent gravy, I'm trying to find something I disliked. Lovely airy restaurant, superb walk around the grounds, friendly and helpful staff. You get what you pay for in life.

Excellent as always good service good food and lovely atmosphere

We were excited to come and visit here as we had not been before and it was our first day off in a couple of months. It took us a couple of hours to get to the gardens and so we were ready for a cup of tea or coffee and a bit of cake by the time we arrived. It was just before noon and there was lots of space outside as it was not a great day weatherwise. We were just waiting to get to the counter when we were called to one side by a lady and asked what we wanted. When we said just a couple of teas and a piece of cake we were told that they would not serve us as they were getting ready to serve lunch and expecting to be inundated, although it was not busy at the time. She then looked awayin what we felt to be a very dismissive manner. If a cafe cannot manage to deliver a cup of tea it is a pretty poor show and we were so disappointed that we did not feel like paying to have a look at the gardens after this. Instead, we went to The Wayside cafe at Zennor where the staff did seem plaesed to see us. We had a nice light lunch there and then spent the afternoon at Trengwainton Gardens so the day tuned out well for us in the end!

One of our favourite lunchstops.

Really lovely food. One of the nicest meals we've had this trip. Interesting options for vegetarians too. Do book ahead.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

Lovely, interesting food in a beautiful setting.

Great place to visit after walking in the gardens, serves delicious food and a great place to relax. Friendly staff and excellent service. Highly recommended

I live local and have been her before, cannot fault the food at all, but we went the other day just 2 of us they had four empty table's all to seat four or more, none with reserved on them, it took the lady with the laptop about 8 mins to say they were booked, I pointed that they had empty table's she stared blankly at me, there is a que behind us by this time, we said thank you for trying and they group of four behind us said we haven't booked either what a shame, and laptop lady said I can seat four of your. Will never go back again.

Beautiful spot for lunch. Well worth a visit even if you're not visiting the gardens. I'd love to go again of time allowed

Top notch food in the pleasantest of settings.

Tremenheere Kitchen is a fantastic hidden gem in Cornwall. I didn’t have food this amazing in a long while. It’s a very small menu, but every single dish is so well thought through and everything fits very nicely with each other. Their craftsmanship is off the charts. The staff is just lovely. And the fries are worth a trip alone. To round it all off, you have fantastic views over the bay and there is an interesting sculpture garden as well. Nothing else left to say, I will be coming back again many more times.

Literally everything on their menu is amazing. We’ve tried them all over three meals during our one week stay in St. Ives. The staff are so welcoming and the atmosphere is so lovely. We can’t recommend this place enough.

Had a delicious lunch at Tremenheere kitchen. Staff were very friendly and the menu carefully selected to showcase the dishes. Had the pesto linguine and the crab.

Beautiful food on a wet day. I had the chicken and chocolate cake; both recommended.

Great, tucked-away gem! Hidden amongst it's beautiful garden, with a breathtaking view of the bay, some delicious food, and a nice outside area for some casual dining.

Absolutely delicious food plated up beautifully. I had the hake and it was excellent. Stunning setting in gardens with at Michael's mount in the distance and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Only comment would be that if you're hard of hearing, the acoustics in the indoor space mean it gets quite loud when full.

Fabulous, wonderful Sunday lunch. Clearly all working very hard to create a safe environment.

Always friendly and efficient...C19 rules carried out perfectly, so pleased to be able to have a cuppa outside, thank you! 😎😎😎

Absolutely fantastic food, beautiful gardens and fantastic views. Bring a picnic to sit and look out at St michael's Mount if you can't get a table. But I implore you to get a table!

Tasty food and the view is worth checking out too!

Seating inside and out as well as a terrace. Covid regulations well managed. Booking recommended. Lovely fresh fish and imaginative menu. Gluten free and vegan options.

I’m only giving three stars as I ordered the tortillas and they turned out to be deep fried (our Mexican ancestors wept in their graves). It tasted like the oil hadn’t been changed for a long time and most of them were very very crispy and dark brown (ie overdone). I politely told the waitress that perhaps it would be worth mentioning on the menu that this was a deep fried dish, but she didn’t seem too concerned and just said “I’ll pass it on”. It ate half the food and still feel sick two hours later from all the oil. On a positive note, the setting is beautiful and there were lots of vegetarian options on the menu. Great drinks options too.

Amazing food in a glorious outdoor setting amongst succulents and with a sculpture in the distance - perfect for a summer lunch. We had a superb fish & chips and mussels. Plus, for pudding, honestly the best scone with cream and jam I’ve ever had - so good I didn’t even get a picture before I scoffed it!! I’d recommend booking as it did get busy (July).

Excellent Sunday lunch, friendly service and good value. Would recommend.

Most amazing food I ever ate. Brought tears to my eyes.

Excellent service and great food at reasonable prices.

Food tasty and varied, after lovely walk, and dog friendly xxx

Tasty food but very limited menu.

Excellent food everytime and great service

Great food and service. GF options available.

We found this great cafe on the St Michael's Way. Great, friendly service; the food was delicious, from a creative menu; indoor and outdoor seating (wraps and rugs provided if a little cool), adjacent to the sculpture gardens. Clean loos; gift and card shop; water bowls for dogs, outside. We recommend this cafe!

Delicious food from a nicely curated menu, including creative vegetarian options. The food is complemented by friendly service and a lovely setting.

They fitted in a party of 6 at last minute - and wow what a treat we had! Starters, mains and desserts were all stunningly tasty and the staff so friendly. I had lamb cooked to perfection on a bed of braised cos lettuce - wonderful combination! The lemon posset with blackberries was sublime - and the accompanying rosemary crackers & candied peel were a perfect compliment. A quick look at the many sculptures just around the car park made the evening almost impossible to match!

Delicious and great options for kids! Highly recommend.

Lovely lunch yesterday. 5 of us were looked after very well.

Amazing fish and chips. By far the best around.

Our only regret about our visit to the kitchen was we wished we had visited sooner on our holiday so were only able to make one visit. The cafe is in a beautiful location by the sculpture gardens. There is plenty of outside seating, some of which is under shelter, important if you are visiting with dogs and the weather isn’t at it’s best, or is at it’s best and you need some shade. The food we had was delicious. We only had bacon sandwiches but they were served with a light salad of leaves and pickled vegetables. Unusual and very tasty. Will definitely be coming back.

Perfect place to have lunch on a sunny day. Serving tasty, fresh food in generous portions. We had the mackerel nicoise and crab linguini. Both had well balanced flavours and were nicely presented. Inside and outside (in the shade) seating available. Service friendly, but a bit slow I highly recommend to make reservation, by either calling them or reserve before you walk into the sculpture garden.

The food here is just delicious, quality ingredients simply cooked and beautifully presented! We are hooked on the homemade tortillas, triple cooked chips and croque monsieur!!! The settings are lovely too, a stylish modern interior with a log burning stove, colourful chairs, locally made pewter seashell condiment dishes and always fresh flowers which are also available to buy! The attached gallery is filled with unusual and reasonably priced makes from local crafts people. A must when visiting this area

Excellent Service. Generous portions. Mussells were excellent!

If you can find it - worth a visit. The cafe is clean and bright, with lots of fresh dishes. The Sculpture garden is a nice place to walk off lunch. Dog friendly at the outside tables only.

Beautiful, airy cafe set on the edge of Tremenheere Garden. Food is a cut above the rest, as you'd expect with this being the latest metamorphosis of the original Lime Tree in Penzance. There is also plenty going on with regular evening events such as film screenings and music. I've been to a few and would highly recommend...
