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

Definitely the ultimate chain cheese pasty. So flaky, humongous and generous with the cheddar.

Service from Amy was delightful, efficient, and welcoming. The usual St. A. Menu had been given a boost by chef, and the Thai curry is to be highly recommended. We are looking forward to visiting again soon. The live band was also fun, though pleased they finished before bedtime! Especially like the 'snug' in room 14 if staying overnight.

We have the medium seafood platter between the three of us £100 great food.

Surprisingly good. Spingo ales.

Had a very nice meal here for my partner's birthday. I had popped in earlier to ask that we were seated in the conservatory but was told that although I had a booking they could not say where it would be. In reality that is where we were seated in a pretty quiet evening for the restaurant. There were several items on the menu that were unavailable but that did not stop us finding things we liked.

Outrageous Christmas chips! What a great seasonal special! 5 out of 5 totally recommend! Perfect chips jazzed up for Christmas!

Lovely restaurant. Good location, great food - loved the fish stew - also dog friendly

First time we had visited Kota with friends that have been many times. Had very high expectations after reading reviews and hearing how much our friends loved this place. The ethos has changed from fine dining to a menu that offers small plates with a small plate tasting menu. They have an extensive range of drinks and the menu also offers a very reasonably price flight of wine. Really pleasant atmosphere, lovely bar area, the restaurant has a cosy feel despite being quite spacious, lovely low lighting and really lovely ambience, it’s newly decorated and is apparently improved on what it was like. Kota has really lovely welcoming staff. Menu offers local sustainable food. They do ask the whole table chooses from the same menu for easier timing of dishes to your table. Choice is between small plates standard menu or the small plates tasting menu. We all chose the reasonably priced tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was small plates Pinxos style with 6 course. Although we only had 5 wines as the first course didn’t have a wine pairing, not sure why. The food was nice, well presented and tasty. The wines were mainly British and brought over in glasses with no explanation of why they were selected to go with the food. On reflection we felt we should have just brought a bottle of wine instead. It’s a nice menu with good food we spent almost £600 for 4 of us so felt is a bit pricy for what we had. Would have really loved to hear about the wines rather than just being told what the label was called. Our friends were a bit disappointed from the last times they have been, when it was exceptional.

Great spot. Proper Cornish pub. Great beer

food was very bland and lacked seasoning, waiters attitude was very poor and can see he has previous mixed reviews from fellow patrons! we are very reasonable and he had the opportunity to rectify our complaints but was not interested in the slightest. nice views of the harbour, just severely let down by the staffing unfortunately....

Had a delicious lunch and a nice lady at the counter. Nice place above the harbour.

We went to the roastery cafe at the end of february . We were impressed by the quality and the attention to detail . We tasted a great coffees,amazing costumer service and good food. A bit thank you to Geo who made us a fantastic coffee . Worth the visit and definitely coming back.

Flippin heck these guys are good. Friendly, helpful and the best crab tacos for a nervous sea food person. Delightful, highly recommend.

We enjoyed an excellent evening meal on a Sunday when many other establishments are closed. There is a free car park nearby.

Lovely cafe and setting by the lake. We visit this cafe often (nearly every week) and the coffee food and the staff are all superb. The recent menu change had made the selection even better with some lovely twists on seasoned favorites. The rosti eggs benedict is really tasty as is the avocado and feta on sourdough. Along with the lovely lakeside setting it's a favorite spot for us
