The best restaurants in Helston Central Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Not a review. Just for information, this is no longer a pub. It was sold and has now been converted to a residence in 2022.

Lovely home made soup . Gorgeous !!!! Never disappoints. Arrives nice and hot, good portions and quickly . Nice staff , clean environment. What more could you want . Oh and great value !!!

Went in intending to get a breakfast. Took a seat decide what we wanted and then went to the counter to order. Got told to sit down and she will come over. We where sat for ages and she never came over. She took the order of the other people who came in before us and then walked of into the back and started doing some chopping and kept looking at us. We got up and left and so did another couple. The tables had not been cleaned and there where still dirty plates on them.

Fab Indonesian fish curried noodles. Packed full of fish and mussels. The best meal of the trip . My daughter and husband had the pulled pork burger which they said that they were the best they’d had. Thursday evening was music night and we were treated to a couple singing folk music

It was a cold, windy and occasionally wet Monday morning about 10am and we were in Helston as a stop off on a coach trip. Most of the shops on the Main Street were closed or not very interesting to us. We couldn’t find a decent coffee shop open and began to walk back to our coach when we noticed Ruth’s cafe just opening up. What a find! The lady owner made us very welcome and we had our drinks - Green tea for husband and the most amazing Hot Chocolate for me. Thank you Ruth you made our visit that much better. Apparently Monday is the day many businesses don’t open in Helston and Saturdays are quiet too.

I'm a regular customer..food and service is good enough.. Specially lamb n chicken kebab is best of the town..highly recommended

Had a hummus in pitta salad, and chips, at The Helston Grill last night, and my goodness, it was the best thing I've eaten in ages. Perfectly balanced, plentiful. The hummus was delicious, the pickled white cabbage the best I've ever eaten. Chips were hot, and really tasty. Thank you for a wonderful meal

Not been here for 45 years. A huge mistake. Not your average tourist pub, but just settle into the atmosphere and it's a great place to have a drink without any pretensions.

Ordered a large meat feast pizza Gave us the something different with mushrooms on it ,smell was a bit off got home to realise that they messed it up and ate but couldn’t finish it the taste was off ,different from the one we usually order in London

Always nice food and friendly service, third visit and never had any problems with anything. Would highly recommend this place.

Went here and reviewed last year, I was in the area again so thought I would give it another go. Went on a Sunday evening so the place was fairly quiet. These premises are unusual in that they have an alcohol license but you can bring your own alcohol and they dont apply a corkage charge. As per last year no restaurant price board displayed in the window, there is a window box with leaflets but these are the takeaway prices so make sure you understand what you are meant to be paying. Started with a popadom, like lot of places they are now charging per dip in the chutney tray which means with two popadoms and four chutney tray dips you are going to pay over £5. A bit dear I feel so I just chose one dip ( mango chutney). Main course was a chicken shashlick which came out on a hot sizzler and was very good. With this I had a sag bhaji and a garlic naan. Plenty for me so I suggest you skip a starter unless you are very very hungry ! Bill came to £23 but then the bill states " Discretionary Gratuity 10% " making it up to £25. No mention of this service charge in the window or on the menu ( so like my visit last year ). I suppose most people are too embarased to query this new charge and just pay but I would say again to make sure you understand what it is you are meant to be paying for. Premises looks smart inside. You have to go up a steep staircase to the first floor to get to the toilets so this may not be too good for those with mobility issues. The public toilets in Helston are some way down the main street and close early so this may be a consideration for you if you cant manage the restaurants toilets. I still recommend this place but watch your prices. On the other hand you dont have to pay their fancy alcohol prices and they dont charge a corkage charge on the bottle that you bring in yourself.

Nice pub , had a nice afternoon lovley lunch. Jemma was great

Ok I usually get my take away from here and ot really is brilliant. But and it's a big but would I eat inside? No way unless of course I was offered to dine upstairs. Reason is it's so tiny and I don't really fancy dining in the lower area as you are in full view of everyone else waiting to pick up there takeaway and going to the counter to submit their orders or pay. Now please I'm no prude but it really is tiny, but as stated food and service is excellent.

Best £32 I've spent on a takeaway in years. The portions sizes are big, and are packed full of premium ingredients (ie tons of chicken and cashews in the C&C rather than them being padded out with veg). We had about 1/3rd of the meal left over - you certainly won't go hungry.

forgot about my cookie. not happy
