Wheelhouse in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I haven't been to a restaurant where the Chef visits the cash and carry when there are reservations and customers have to wait for him to return. May be as a result service was rushed as my seafood platter was a disaster. Fish over cooked, mussels that resembled peanuts, not worth what I paid. Shame as it's a fab location.

I stayed at the Wheelhouse and was very satisfied. The rooms are very nice, the bathroom is great. Everything is clean and tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept well. The view of the harbor from my room was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay at Wheelhouse again.

For a spot of lunch, my wife and two children decided to eat here. Never again. We settled on the beef style kebabs (on a skewer). With rice. The beef was tough, tastless, rough and badly cooked. I was a butcher, I should know! Rice was microwaved but still undercooked! The salad that came with it was soggy, rotten and floppy. The best part of the meal was the kids fish goujons. We spent 70 quid (including drinks and mussels which were poor) on some of the worst food I've eaten. For a seafood restaurant, the sea food was disappointing and the rest was horrendous. Waitress/bartenddr was cold and provided bare minimum also. AVOID.

£35. for 2 coffees an english breakfast and poached eggs on toast. no choice of white or brown bread and not even any butter ! Seems ike they've given up hope. Not the way to succeed . 25 minute wait in an empty cafe. Cheap supermarket sausages. The list could be longer! AVOID !!!!

Great views, tiny rooms but clean and good quality.

Terrible Service. Absolutely disappointing food.

Very slow service, so slow we left with a take out of our food after waiting 45 minutes for a simple meal, which was on addition unfortunately disappointing, a soggy and tasteless fish goujon. Not recommended.

Food is ok. Service was a mixed bag. Food was poor: unwashed seafood (grit in the shellfish), overcooked fish etc Location great, however the upstairs tables with the best views were closed off l. I guess they weren't busy enough to open upstairs?

Had a fabulous dinner here. Fabulous food, great service. Attentive and friendly chef and waitresses. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Excellently located place right in the heart of Mevagissy, with great views of the harbour. Room was very comfortable and spotless, had a great night’s sleep. Check-in could have been a bit smoother and no breakfast included in the price. Otherwise great

We popped in for lunch on a quiet Saturday afternoon. The staff were very friendly and the service was good. We had what was probably the best calamari ever. Cooked to perfection. Just melts in your mouth. However the fish and chips was not your traditional fish and chips. The chips were Skin On Fries! The fish was lightly battered in what was purpose to be beer batter but was so bland it needed lots of seasoning. Considering this is a restaurant on the harbour serving fish and chips you expect it would be the real deal. We were very disappointed.

I called the restaurant at the begging of the week to book a table for me and my mom. I was bringing her for a treat as we were away for the weekend, living 2 hours away in South Devon. The lady I spoke to confirmed our details, the day and time of booking. We arrived 5 minutes prior to our booking to be met with a closed up restaurant, all locked up with no signs. I rung the telephone number several times but there was no answer. Luckily there was an establishment nearby that were happy to have us for lunch without a booking. If you need to shut the business, at least have the common decency to phone those that have bookings.

Absolutely beautiful view across the harbour, friendly staff and a delicious breakfast

We just had a tasty meal here, seabass and crab bisque. Food was delicious and fresh. Very nice location. Friendly staff.

Lovely food and views - bass, whitebait and mackerel pate a highlight. The staff were all very attentive. We’ll definitely be back.

Went to Mevagissey for the day and decided to go the Wheel House, great decision staff lovely, tapas lovely and wine lovely what more would you want.

Amazing customer service Weather horrendous all day and most places closed early They stayed open just to honour our booking Only people there Food was lovely But so important was their attention to, and understanding of, the needs of GF customers Food prepped and cooked...

Beautiful location, friendly staff and delicious food. We had tapas, everything came out at the same time, just a lovely evening.

Lovely to see the newly refurbished style. Much nicer and staff super friendly. Had a lovely time and will certainly be back. Hope the lighting can be dimmed as it was super bright and it would make all the difference to have slightly subdued lighting...

Managed to get a table on opening night. Restaurant has been fully refurbished and has a lovely relaxed vibe. Tapas menu and food was amazing. Highly recommend the new potatoes and the squid. Staff were really helpful and dog friendly.

11.55am. Hi, can I get a rattler and a doom oh and can I order a pizza... bar maid... no, we don't serve food until 12.... lost sale. Well done. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

We had a lovely mackerel lunch here. It was rather amusing as the entitled residents from the hotel on the front patio didn't really want to share it with us. Grumpy faces all round from them, flinching and groaning every time my obviously autistic son...

Visited for dinner, but the menu choice was very limited so ended up ordering a burger. The staff seemed disinterested and the food was distinctly average. Wouldnt go back.

A great location, some unusual to find in the village outside eating, but it is not a great place to eat, The sardines (pilchards) were very poor, and then the kitchen closed early! only if you really have too.

We were lucky enough to get a table during a busy lunch time service. We were greeted at arrival by friendly staff who were able to help us navigate allergen friendly options without any issues (of which there were plenty of options for our gluten...

Absolutely the worst meal I have ever had the misfortune to be saddled with. “Cornish sardines on toast” sounds like a tasty snack. In reality, two slices of hard, burnt toast with three measly ill prepared sardines and an indescribable sauce. £11. 90 for this...

Had high hopes of having a great fish dinner at a restaurant that has pole position view over harbour.However the roast Pollock was the smallest element on the plate and although ordered a large portion of sardines there were only 9. Both fish dishes were...

We had to wait 30 min for food which consisted of 2 Cornish pasties ( pre made from a local supplier ) and 2 panini ‘s undercooked and inedible both came with chips that had clearly been re heated , but nothing else not even...

After a wander around the harbour we decided to stop at the wheelhouse for some lunch. We were greeted by a lovely lady who asked us if we’d like to sit inside or outside, we chose to sit outside and enjoy the view of the...

Great visit for cup of tea...decided to go for cream tea. Very well looked after by Cal and Chris..aka Laurel &Hardy. Made to feel very welcome. Scones Best yet. Definitely worth a visit...will return

We had a very memorable meal at The Wheel House in Mevagissey on Saturday 14th May. It was a very sunny day, we entered the bar and were immediately approached by a young waitress who asked us if we would like an outside table. I...

One of our very favourite places. Stunning food. Best breakfast in Cornwall. Callum the chef is wonderful and always goes the extra mile to make the experience very special. And Helen front of house is an amazing friendly powerhouse. What lovely people. Fantastic experience. Great...

Although breakfast had finished, the young lady (I believe to be Helen) found the 3 of us a table and we all had breakfast and hot drinks, Breakfast was perfect, not expensive, Helen and Libby were so attentive and polite, We will definitely go back,...

Visited for a drink on Friday afternoon then went for a meal Saturday evening. Hubby had pollack wrapped in parma ham (delicious) and I had the cornish steak, both from the specials board. It was the nicest steak I've had in a long time and...

The room had a great view The shower you couldnt get into as the shower unit was behind the door The wc was so small you had to sit at an angle with your feet in the bedroom Terrible. Not cheap either Over 12 stone...

Called today for food we were slightly late but Helen owner very kindly said come in very attentive food was well cooked love this place will go again also met libby all in all a fantastic experience

Breakfast at this delightful restaurant on the mevagissey wharf, I asked for a crispy bacon sandwich, the bacon was cooked to perfection in fresh brown bread delicious, the owner was new and the service was brilliant with that personal touch, lovely place good food and...

We visited on Tuesday afternoon, having just arrived in the area. As we walked in a member of staff came straight over and asked if we were after drinks because they were just closing. We explained we had just seen the couple at a window...

Popped in for breakfast this morning, so glad we did. Front of house lady was really warm and welcoming, and even moved us to a harbour view table when one became available. Excellent full Cornish breakfast, great coffee, large pot of tea, views of the...

This was just what I needed on a mid-week morning before the shops opened. I fancied toast and coffee and it was perfect. But the whole experience was perfect. Helen greeted us and chatted with us making us feel like old friends, the surrounds were...

We had an excellent time here. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was exceptionally good. The roast in particular the meat was cooked to perfection and the yorkshire puddings were divine. The roast potatoes were nice an crisp. Fabulous variety of fresh...

Lovely food and a great welcome.Also very reasonable and Dog friendly.Really enjoyed it and will be back..perfect to cheer up a grey,January day.

What a lovely place to stay, right on the quayside of the harbour. Good view, good facilities, good wi fi, good food, friendly staff. Would recommend to everybody. Meryl & Kamila

Cooked to order with local produce, friendly staff and a good location right on the harbour edge. Various seating areas inside and outside.

we stopped for lunch/brunch the service was top class the food was well cooked and tasty with huge portions the sort of place you dream about when you think of cornwall

Wow, well pleased with the food, looked and tasted fantastic would def return again. Staff were so polite too, and service was quick…

We come here several times over our two week stay - for drinks, for breakfasts, for an evening meal and for takeaway pizza. Despite being very busy and at times understaffed, the staff remained friendly and cheerful and whilst some of them might have been...

Unhelpful and unfriendly staff, who did not take kindly to being asked about allergens present in the food and could not answer my questions. Menu states the kitchen serves gluten free food, but when ordering was told that they could not guarantee it was gluten...

We'd have loved to have eaten but were discriminated against. We arrived at the door amd asked for a table for 3 (two of us disabled). The staff member said he'd check what he had. He went away and found a table, as we went...

Despite being extremely busy, all of the staff continued to work with a smile on their face and made us and everyone who came through the door feel welcome. Superb roast and the most delicious fruit crumble (just like my nana used to make it)....

Turned up at about 19.40 hrs for drinks with friends. Spoke to the staff and asked if we could have the outside table for drinks, only to be told we are closed. I questioned this as the website says it closes at 21.00 hrs. Only...

Ok food, but most things we wanted weren't available. The staff were friendly and entertaining, but seemed a little inexperienced. Two bottles were smashed while we were there. We ate at wheel house 2 years ago and the experience was much better, so maybe it...

Booked a day in advance for dinner. We get there & somebody is on our table so they ask them to move, we were asked to wear masks when entering and walking around restaurant but were sat back to back with people breathing down our...

A very friendly helpful staff, very good size portions and all food served hot. Deserts were something to calibrate

There were 7 of us in our party- 4 adults and 3 children. Waited at the door for approx 5 minutes before anyone approached us. We asked for a table and the waitress said she’d see what she could do, the restaurant wasn’t busy at...

The staff and crew at the wheelhouse are excellent and are doing their very best to keep people in drink and food in this very busy year for staycation holidays A credit to their owner 👏 🙌 No complaints at all keep it up...see you...

We have visited her twice already in 3 days and many times before including 7 years ago when I booked here for my 30th. This place has always had amazing food and service from breakfast to lunch. We have visited high season and low season...

The Wheelhouse is in the heart of Mevagissey. It serves honest seaside food cooked to a high quality. The room was very comfortable and had a clear view over the harbour. Wendy and her team couldn't have been more welcoming. We'll definitely go again.

Shoking service and food. The most terrible. Service i habe ever had. Bartender and service staff was rude

We telephone booked our table a week ahead before we travelled to Mevagissey for our holiday. They were delighted to receive our booking and offered us a window seat. However, when we arrived, they didn't have our booking! The male member of the team was...

Really enjoyed this little place. We stopped in Mevagissey for a bite to eat and come across The Wheel House. I had a pint and the wife had a gin & tonic. I also had the cornish pasty and chips and my wife had the...

What a wonderful setting Parked the car right outside our accommodation Unloaded and was told where we could park our car free of charge From the time we arrived to the time we left we were made to feel very welcome Our room was very...

Found this by chance and popped in. The food was excellent and a reasonable price. This along with a view of the harbour makes me say give it a try

Nice young people working there who appear to have had very little training and supervision. Be warned - you have to order and pay for your food before it arrives. Our waiter kept saying they were run off their feet they were so busy. Busy...

Hardly a seafood place when only fish n chips available or sardines. Lots of customers unhappy. Good job the weather was good.

We are currently sat in the wheel house having had a wonderful breakfast, really good quality ingredients cooked to perfection, they also do the best coffee! All the staff are so friendly and welcoming especially the lady that greets at the door calls everyone sweetheart...

At first was ok. 35 min wait for food felt was reasonable but had to return uncooked burger. Waited another 25 minutes with no sign of it appearing so asked very politely if I could have a refund and the older chap serving response was...

We popped in for a drink and lunch on our first day in Mevagissey. The drinks menu was very small I assume because of the reduced footfall. Our food also came alarmingly quickly...

We booked a table here for four of us, outside seating only which wasn't a problem so we thought. When we were shown our table there was no space in between the table next to us was practically sat on the other peoples laps. Food...

We just stopped in for a couple of beers but were seated and served even with tables all booked for later. Great view of the harbour.

We dined here lunch on our arrival it was very pleasant we were made to feel safe and the food was very well cooked and served with a welcoming smile the place closed whilst we were eating but at no time were we made to...

Me and my friend came to mevagissey for the day And stopped at the wheelhouse. Was served by a lovely waitress with beautiful makeup on( can not remember name) She was running around as quite busy, but was very observant. Could see we was struggling...

We queued up for 15 mins, not even acknowledge at entrance, when we eventually got seated, we were given menus. and we waited and waited 20 mins later still waiting. 1 of our party of four people went to bar and asked if there was...

At the far end of the harbour we found this lovely little bar Initially we had coffees and then returned for a few beers and food later Nicely situated. .. comfortable.... lovely staff and very covid safe

Window seat with a great view over the harbour. Food & drink was ordered by app which was very prompt and good value for money. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Arrived in Mevagissey, wandered round the harbour, found this lovely looking place. Lady on front door had a face like thunder! Asked if they had availability for 4, confirmed they did. Donned our masks and stepped in. 3 other occupied tables who all stopped eating...

Lovely location. Brilliant harbour view.lovely clean welcoming room with very comfy bed. Great service by very nice people.Very nice breakfast,great value, would definitely book again.

After touring a couple of the local harbours we stopped by for a swift pint as we’d spotted a cosy outdoor area, ideal! We put on masks as is now habit when going indoors. The very friendly member of staff took our temperature before entering...

Had a lovely meal at Wheel House. Not sure why people moan about the app as it was very simple to use. Ham, chips and egg .... yes not taxing to cook but was perfect and very tasty, combined with very friendly, courteous service .......

Really enjoyed our visit to the Wheelhouse. The fish pie was really tasty and so filling we didn’t have any room for the tasty looking cakes.

We were in Mevagissey for only 2 nights and hadn't booked a table anywhere for Saturday night dinner. Most restaurants were fully booked but when we asked at The WheelHouse they confirmed straight away. That should have been a clue straight away. Anyways, we arrived...

Once we had mastered the online ordering we had such a lovely well cooked breakfast served by Wendy who took our temperature on arrival and details. No smelly frying smell the cooked breakfast was so good we have been there three times

Visited here with friends having barely eaten out since before lockdown. I felt so safe here, temperature taken on entry, order and pay via the website (scam the code on the table, no need to download an app!) food & drinks arrived quickly - my...

Booked a table for an evening meal,plenty of space and screens. Food ordered via an app which was easy to use. Limited vegiterian options but it is the same every where else.They do some cracking pizzas,chilli one very hot,with a quick service time. Let down...

App made choices impossible. Wanted far too much personal data. Waitress petting dog as she serving food. Left without ordering no confidence in the place.

Food is amazing, staff are great and location is perfect! 👌 So nice to sit outside and watch the world go by. The pizzas are very very good.

The food here is really tasty. However due to corvid-19 situation the ordering is very limited due to how you order. Through the QR code located on the table. With this ordering system you can not specify items you wish to remove. I.e no bun...

We went for lunch and sat outside overlooking the quay. The food was very nice and the service was good

We went for dinner, firstly they asked that you order from the app... I don’t have a problem with that ... but also to pay for it all before it arrived...also they are not offering the eat out to help out offer. The soup arrived...

- Best Covid19 stay safe venue to date - All staff wearing face masks and option to order drinks and food at bar or on-line - Watched team clean down table and chairs before taking us to table. - Fresh sardines and Tuna melt both...

Visited 3 times, twice for drinks, once for food. Staff excellent, had our temps checked every time and when we ate we had a lovely window seat. All were happy with their food, I had a brilliant burger. Would recommend. Nice beer and cider but...

While stuff was showing positive intention; experience was poor, mainly because of the inefficient ordering system. Wander if lack of people meant they missed personal contact, except when the luckily received or personally chased up orders were served.Food was basic/nothing special but service/ordering experience made...

This place monopolies on COVID-19 by other places being busy. Firstly, charging for non-alcoholic beers listed in the beer section when pre-ordered (Bavaria) and then saying they’d charge extra for an alcoholic beer... poor signage to WiFi and toilets... not very good quality food and...

Visited 7/8/20 Was very disappointed, bordering on disgusted. 4 of us had 'meals'. 2 sandwiches, 1 panini and 1 fish chips and mushy peas. The two sandwiches were on brown bread, were dry around the edges, ( so not fresh bread), one with a very...

Arrived in Mevagissey in time for breakfast ..... full English x 2 was tasty and hearty as were sausage sandwiches and poached eggs on toast. Very Covid conscious and good system for maintaining distancing. All in all good value and good food. Would go again.

Could and should do better on food. Received a pretty poor cheese and pickle sandwich on cheap sliced bread and paid £7.50. Expensive mediocre pizza too. Fish and chips okay. Well considered system in place after lockdown reopening however and staff seemed helpful and efficient.

We stopped here for a drink and stayed to eat. Before entry out temperature was taken and hand sanitizer used . We were shown to our table which was well spaced from others. We felt comfortable to order food and had a good meal with...

Lovely staff that make you feel really welcome. Sorry but the food was awful. We had pizza and burger dreadful for the price. The only reason we didn’t complain was the staff were really nice.

Booked a table during the easing of Lockdown. Arrived early but they were able to accommodate us. Extremely friendly staff and tasty food. Our family of 5 had a great time.

Popped in to the Wheelhouse as fancied Fish and Chips. Was a toss up between the restaurants on Mevagissey Harbour as all similarly priced but wanted a seat in the window. Pub was quiet with a few diners and plenty of staff. Ordered Fish and...
