The best restaurants in Mount Hawke and Portreath Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Stopped here for lunch part way on our trip to Cornwall. Lovely food, good size portions. Staff very welcoming and place was very clean. Would recommend

Lovely food and the portion size of the loaded chips is amazing 😋😍

Tried whilst on holiday. Visited for drinks to see what pub was like and maybe dine later on in the week. Service appalling. Stood their for 5 minutes while landlady spoke to friends. Husband said beer was excellent but sadly wine was disgusting - left half a glass which very unusual. Was going to have second drink as beer good so asked for Thatchers - told not on. Then San Miguel again not on. Only 2 pumps working, rest even though displayed, not on. Pub unfriendly, full of junk and very run down. Outside tables were surrounded by tall weeds. Could be a lovely pub but obviously they've lost interest.

Had my mums 99 th b day here last week . Staff totally spoilt her fabulous time had by all . Food and service very good . Thank you unicorn staff x

Very pleasant restaurant, friendly staff, extensive drinks menu. Thoroughly enjoyable meal, I’m not a big foodie hence the 4 stars, it has to be out of this world spectacular to warrant 5

Fantastic famaly dog friendly pub staff and food are excellent also very warm

Ordered food for delivery, 3hrs late, stone cold already shut to complain so we didn't get a refund and didn't eat it. Showed online it had been delivered, rang twice and was told it will be there asap and they'll contact the driver. I had to drive down the road to collect it from a taxi driver. Cant understand why it took so long when we are literally 5 minutes up the road. Will not be using them again

Visited on Thursday 31st October wanted a lager shandy to be told they have NO LAGER! A pub with no lager! Never seen that before EVER, asked for a menu was given the more expensive menu not the cheaper one with sandwiches on it so had to go back for that one, wanted crisps was given a choice of only 3 flavours! Wanted a pulled Pork Sandwich guess what they have NO pulled pork, had to wait 40 minutes for sandwiches, poor service, poor lack of basic items on menu and drinks, real shame as a nice pub that should be so much better.

Good selection on the menu. Food was always served hot and correctly. Very good quality of meals. Can be quite nosey as open plan, but they have a covered outside area too if you want to bring your dog.

As a local family that has spent a lot of time (and money) in The Waterside our latest visit with a group of friends really left us questioning whether or not we would go back again. This is not a complaint about the food or the service of the waitresses at all but the owner. We were sat in one of the booths by the till. As a frequent visitor of the Meadery, I remember the days pre-Covid when the booths had netting separating the tables rather than the brown leather(?!) screens. The addition of these and the insistence of keeping them post-Covid has meant that these booths now have less air flow, making them hotter. This was also the case last year when we visited during Golowan - it was uncomfortably warm. During this visit, it was so hot in our booth so we rolled up the brown screen a little. This provided some ventilation. The owner came down and he was so aggressive and rude towards us and as locals we felt that this was unnecessary. He told us we had ruined the screening because we had taken all of the drawing pins out - we hadn’t. We had in fact taken one out. He then stormed off. This ruined our experience at the Meadery and we will not be returning before it is sadly knocked down. What was once our favourite restaurant seems to be a million miles away from how it was in its heyday. If the owner wishes to open up elsewhere then perhaps a course in customer service would not go amiss. The Waterside Meadery will be a huge loss for all of us in Penzance and the surrounding area but the customer service of late will not be!

DREADFUL FOOD. The worst chinese food I have ever had - awful!! Bland and tasteless, LOTS of fried onions. Soup tasteless, 'seaweed' greasy. Watery tasteless main and rice solid........l could go on. A complete waste of money!! Avoid at all costs!!

Sadly, in our opinion, the Basset Arms has gone downhill. The roast was not good, it took an age to get to us, the vegetables arrived a good 5 minutes after the main plates, the cauliflower/broccoli cheese was very crusty, the roast potatoes were like leather, the chicken portions were very small and the service was poor. It was very disappointing!

That was a hell of a pasty. I'll definitely be back

I have been visiting this bakery for years to buy pasties. I have always been very pleased with the quality. However, yesterday I bought a large and a standard pasty which were put into individual bags for me to take away. When we got home, I opened the bag and the large pasty was burnt. My husband ate the pasty but did not enjoy it. I don’t think that I shall be visiting this bakery again as I feel that the shop assistant should not have sold me this pasty as it was so obviously burnt. I am very disappointed to say the least.

Semi derelict and seemingly closed down. Great shame.
