The best restaurants in Chacewater and Kenwyn Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

We stopped in for a cream tea after a nice walk through the woods and enjoyed the cream tea. The scones were delicious- best we’ve ever had! Lovely ladies too! Highly recommend :)

Amazing little gem of a place! Situated on the side of a forest, farm shop stocked with everything you could imagine and more (local produce). had a simple but delicious cheese and tomato toastie with salad, just what I needed after a long walk in the woods next door. The staff are amazing! Super friendly and attentive, and happy to have a chat. We couldn't have felt more welcome. My dog was treated like royalty, and even had his own plate of biscuits given to him (for free!) The atmosphere is great. Rustic, quirky upcycled tables and chairs with a relaxed, comfy feel. There's armchairs and even a book shelf stocked up for you to have a cuppa and a read. There is a wonderful selection of plants in the nursery avaliable to purchase, and they have lots of workshops and events going on throughout the year - from foraging to pottery, glass making and basket weaving and more. There is also a bird sanctuary, which is just fantastic. I will be returning again and again, as will my family. Luckily we are local!

Absolutely fantastic place to eat and drink. So much fabulous choice, especially the cakes!! Great start to our mining trail walk

Having wanted to go here for an age, we finally made it and wasn't disappointed. The small restaurant was a delight, with the owner (I'm guessing) being very knowledgable and attentive and the food was very, very good. Highly recommended.

Best pasties in Cornwall. Family say they are like my own homemade pasties so got to be good or we wouldn't buy them. Can be seen being made at the back of the shop

Our regular Saturday night takeaway, cannot fault these guys. The food is 10/10, atmosphere is great and the staff are fab, so friendly every time. The best "Food of the Gods" by far. Would highly recommend!

A very special place in such a wonderful setting. The owners are lovely and very accommodating. We had an amazing lunch and the cafe is the nicest we have had in a long time. We would recommend this lovely tea garden and the area is worth visiting as it is stunning. Thankyou.

Nestled amidst the picturesque backdrop of Truro, The Penrose Kitchen is a gastronomic haven where every detail is orchestrated to create an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment my wife and I stepped into this culinary sanctuary, we were swept away by the elegance and sophistication that graced every corner. Our evening began with a libation that set the tone for the culinary journey ahead: expertly crafted martini cocktails moistened our palates as we perused the menu, our anticipation grew, knowing that we were about to embark on a culinary adventure unlike any other. For starters, my wife's choice of twice-baked soufflé was a testament to the chef's artistry. The delicate rise of the soufflé was a prelude to the exquisite flavours that awaited within. My own selection, the scallops accompanied by a bold partner – black pudding – was a harmonious pairing of textures and tastes that delighted my senses. As the evening progressed, we were introduced to a refined duet of main courses, which were accompanied with an exquisite Argentinian Malbec, my wife's choice of halibut over a bed of vibrant broccoli showcased the chef's mastery of marrying ingredients with what can only be described as a Zen like balance of flavours. The halibut, tender and succulent, seemed to glide effortlessly across the plate. My own dish, a filet of beef, was a rhapsody of flavours that reverberated with each exquisite bite. The Malbec, proved to be the virtuoso companion to the rich tapestry of flavours that emerged from every mouthful of steak. In the midst of this culinary opus, the service and staff shone as brightly as the cuisine. Attentive, knowledgeable, and discreet, they guided us through this culinary symphony with a grace that elevated the entire experience. The husband and wife team behind The Penrose Kitchen are nothing short of a culinary tour de force, their passion evident in every plate that emerges from their kitchen. As our evening drew to a close, we surrendered to the final movement of our dining experience – a finale that embraced both indulgence and refinement. A Cointreau liqueur coffee, bold and warming, bid adieu to the main performance, leaving us with a lingering aftertaste of satisfaction and contentment. The Penrose Kitchen is not merely a restaurant; it is an embodiment of gastronomic excellence that transports diners to the echelons of fine dining without the intimidating price tag. For both residents and visitors to Cornwall, this establishment is an invitation to savour Michelin-quality fare in an environment where every detail is curated to perfection.

Booked in here for Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely home cooked food, perfect veggies for my taste,not too hard or soft. Had a lovely desert each. Friendly place and glad we booked.

The food is super delicious, everything all home made, her cakes are very fresh & sandwiches are all fresh. The staff are just great always helpful. Always welcomed. So clean and fresh, just lovely.

Myself and husband decided to have breakfast here today, we both ordered a family breakfast. The gentleman who served us was very polite. On arrival of the food, it looked well presented and steaming hot. It was a lovely breakfast, can’t fault it at all. Everything was hot and tasted lovely. Would definitely recommend and will definitely have another trip there

Central location in Mevagissey. Proper pub serving a good range of freshly prepared food Loved eating there. Great atmosphere and really good value and excellent service from friendly staff. Dog friendly.

“Ridiculously good” was my son’s verdict about his burger at the Woodman’s cafe today! My daughter and I had the all-day breakfast, which was buy one, get one half price, and they were great as well. Quality ingredients, well cooked. The eggs had the yellowest yokes! I wish I’d known they had had hash browns as that would have made it perfect! This is such a great little cafe, brilliant for a bite to eat after a walk in the woods. It was raining today and we were nice and dry in their shelter. People don’t seem to know about them, but it’s great there! Go, eat good food, and support a local business!

This came up on Travelzoo - £45 three course lunch with a (decent) glass of Prosecco. Two starters, two mains and a pudding. My starter was pea soup with dried onion bits - totally devine. The soup was an extraordinary luminous green colour! My main was a simple dish of lamb cutlets on a bed of chopped mushrooms. Also hugely tasty. Pudding was a sweet tart of sorts which isn’t really my thing but I ate half of it. Bread and crackers were served too. We added a bottle of Italian rose. It was a fairly deep rose colour but delicious. This is a high class restaurant (good loo’s too!) and we enjoyed it very much. The set menu was ideal for lunch. Only slight downside was indifferent service, but I’d go again.

Easter Sunday. Visited for Sunday lunch. Possibly the best pub Sunday lunch I’ve had in a pub. Really good. Generous portion sizes. Friendly staff. Good service. Dog friendly with rugs for our 4legged friends and water bowls too. A large jar of dog treats to keep them happy too. Local brewery beers as well as the usual offerings. Went back midweek for an evening meal as it’s literally 5 mins from where we are staying in Feock. Good service again. Had a burger that time. Equally impressed with the food and service. Very attentive staff. Well worth a visit if you are looking for a good meal out.
