Trewidden Garden Tea Room in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

This a a lovely little cafe in a beautiful setting with very friendly and helpful staff. I’ve given it 5 stars as I could see the quality of the meals coming out but I have to be honest and say that my friend and I had sandwiches, one white and one granary. Both of us, sadly, found the bread very dry with pretty much inedible crusts. The contents were really good but were a bit spoilt by the chef using margarine rather than butter. I do wish this didn’t happen as the sandwiches here and in many other places are quite pricey so you would think we could get butter? Anyway, we would go back but not for the sandwiches

What a gem! A warm welcome by friendly staff assures you of a great experience, the coffee is Superb & the food outstanding. On holiday this week and we’ve managed 3 visits already, allow a hour or so to visit the gardens too.

Come to trewidden all the time! Love it! Can’t fault it! Crystal and the team are fab! Great coffee too! And dog friendly 😁

The cafe is a small business with a big heart! The service was excellent and everyone friendly and the food was freshly hand made and delicious. Presentation was second to none and quality outstanding. It was amazing what those chefs created in such a small kitchen.

Lovely selection of delicious cakes and very good tea and coffee. A quiet location which is family and dog friendly. Incredibly attentive and helpful staff, who gave a warm welcome, despite us arriving late in the day. It was my first visit there and I will definitely be recommending and returning.

Trewidden Estate in west Cornwall is our favourite Cornish garden - small but perfectly formed with new views every few steps. Complementing the garden is a super tearoom open throughout the year, even when the garden is closed. Breakfast options include classical Cornish (including hogs pudding), veggie and vegan options plus cinnamon toast, eggs on toast, breakfast baps and (my favourite) mushrooms in a creamy and rosemary sauce on sourdough. Lunch options cover soup, sandwiches and mains with delicious desserts and a wonderful cake display. We always aim to get at least once meal at Trewidden each time we visit Cornwall. We are always impressed by the tasty and varied food, the commitment to local suppliers and the friendly and helpful staff team. Strongly recommended! (The garden is pretty good too).

Lovely place, very relaxing took dogs and the staff gave them water, snacks and bed. Food and drinks excellent as were all of the staff. Would definitely return.

Really good roast dinner, much better than most restaurant or pub roasts and a very welcoming staff. Worth a visit at £15! A rarity nowadays.

We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch yesterday here . I had gammon & hubby had turkey. This was followed by chocolate tart & a beautifully homemade mince pie & cream. It was all decorated very Christmassy & several lovely little trinkets to buy & the staff are so friendly & helpful.

We originally were just visiting the gardens and then decided to have cake after seeing it on some visitors plates.The Bakewell tart was absolutely gorgeous so was my partners Lemon drizzle ..We noticed the lunches being served and I can honestly say every one I saw looked delicious so we booked for Sunday roast.I dont eat meat my partner does....I had a homemade nut roast which was really something else and my partners beef was tender and beautifully cooked so I was informed.When the roast dinners came out I was taken back and I can honestly say I could not fault anything in this place.We were told initially there may be a wait which is perfectly normal with home cooked food to order and if anyone wants food served within 15minutes I suggest you go to a drive through takeaway and sit in a car eating it .Good food is always worth the wait.Our last day in Cornwall was the next day so we could not resist but to go back and have lunch there...Fabulous....The place is a real hidden gem..All the staff are so friendly,the food is absolutely fabulous,the setting is so tranquil and relaxing...we are that keen we are planing a 200 mile round journey just to have a Sunday lunch there.

The cafe was recommended by a friend. Travelling back to the Midlands following a week in Sennen we wanted somewhere to go for breakfast and what a find. The staff were all very welcoming and the food was first rate. We had both meat a veggie full Cornish breakfasts which were lovely. Good quality local ingredients that were well cooked and nicely presented. What was on the specials board for lunch looked good too.

You always feel better after a nice lunch and that's exactly what we had at this lovely tearoom. My wife and I sat outside with a sharing platter of seafood washed down with a glass of prosecco in the glorious sunshine of a hot afternoon. We even returned for breakfast a few days later. Nice staff, excellent food, lovely location and dog friendly too. Would recommend a visit.

Visited as a belated Father's Day outing and we were absolutely blown away. The quality of the food was outstanding and the portions were very generous. The team kindly found a table inside for us, despite the busy lunch rush. Incredible service. I strongly recommend visiting this hidden gem!

A delicious lunch that consisted of chickpea and avocado ciabatta and wonderful carrot cake. It was busy and we hadn't booked however, the waiter sorted out a table for us without any trouble. All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our top place for lunch.

Sadly there aren't a great number of traditional Tea Shops in the Lands End peninsular boon-docks past Penzance. Trewidden Gardens are clearly worth a visit in their own right, but thankfully their Tea Shop is open to passing trade as well as garden visitors. Excellent tea - you can always tell "good" Earl Grey at the first sniff - and lovely cakes. Pity there was no Fruit Cake, but the cake menu changes every day so you might be lucky. Not too busy considering the Summer tourist season is now in full swing in W.Cornwall and we called in right at tea-time. Only one adverse comment really - management of all tea shops note well - "There's a special place in Hell reserved for Tea Shop Managers who serve fine tea in earthenware coffee cups and not in proper china tea-cups"....

Lovely visit, food very good, staff very good, nothing but compliments for this place. Cakes super delicious.

Had a lunch here while visiting the gardens, and has been the best lunch I have had this holiday. Superb food and staff. I had the special, Sweet Potato and Pepper Arancini balls with the most delicious salad, drizzled with balsamic glaze. If you are visiting the gardens then make sure you dont have your lunch before you go!

Whilst on holiday here in Cornwall we decided to visit Trewidden Gardens. Hoping that the Tearoom would serve a decent lunch we planned our day. What an absolute treat awaited us! You would never know from the sign on the A30 what delights are on offer at this gem of a cafe. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly. The quality and choice of food was outstanding. We really enjoyed our experience here and will definitely return before we go home.

Can't rate this lovely tea room highly enough. Lovely food with many options for vegetarians and gluten free. The staff are lovely and friendly. Lovely tea room, but there is also lots of outside seating with or without a parasol. Plus you can visit the tea room without having to go into the gardens (although the gardens are beautiful and also worth a visit), so you can turn up for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea.

Charming place with excellent food and exceptional service. We had lunch of fresh crab sandwiches served with interesting salad things after spending the morning in the fabulous garden. I think this is more than just a tea room and you don’t need to pay to enter the gardens to eat here (though I strongly recommend a garden visit too!)

Great coffee, delicious food and helpful, friendly staff. The perfect place for a treat before or after viewing the stunning spring garden.

Met with friends for brunch. The food was delicious and such good value for money. The portion size for the full English was huge. Very quick service and the staff were friendly and attentive and continued to be so even when it got busy. Will...

What a lovely hidden treasure!! We arrived with friends for breakfast and we had a lovely time! Staff were great, friendly and very attentive, nothing was too much to ask! The food was tasty and plentiful too! Plenty of parking and we will be back!!

Staff are so friendly and helpful, attentive and speedy service. Food delicious, goats cheese, beetroot, walnut salad gorgeous. Their home made cloudy lemonade with mint and raspberries is amazing.
