The best restaurants in St Issey Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

I stayed at the Old Mill House and the whole experience was 5 🌟. The breakfast choices were delicious and locally sourced . The most perfect scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Dinner was amazing, again local produce cooked to perfection. I had Scallops and then Hake followed by the best tia Maria liquor coffee (no canned whipped cream here, hand whipped) Would also recommend the local beer, pink cider, and wine from Padstow. Service and atmosphere were great and nothing was too much trouble. I felt comfortable eating alone. Would highly recommend.

Was excellent ….sadly have closed down.

service impeccable. said so little and was so kind. see you in abt an hour or so. love you sue xx abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Fantastic coffee and pastries set us up for our walk along the coastal path. Didn’t have time to return for ice cream sadly.

Wonderful cream tea one of the best. Strawberries, ice cream & clotted cream wonderful Banana milkshake wonder Staff super friendly Well worth a visit

Been coming here whilst on holiday for many years. The food is exceptional. Steve and his staff always make you feel so welcome. Already booked for July.

Lovely food and family run service

Don't stay in Padstow to eat. Drive for 10 minutes and go here. Food is fantastic and the staff even better.

We had visited the restaurant before in the autumn and we were looking forward to a similar tasty meal with the added extra of seeing the view and a good sunset. Unfortunately, our reservation was for Sunday evening - the same time as a birthday bash for the owner. We do not begrudge their fun and entertainment as they all work so hard and really deserve to let their hair down, - but please let us know! We were the only people in the restaurant, waited on by two bored servers who had nothing else to do. If we had been told that there was a party booked that night, we would have visited on another day. The meal was fine but certainly not worth the high price. The prawn salad was alright, however my mussels were tiny and in a tasteless thick cream sauce. The Dover sole was expensive and not cooked by someone who felt it was a special dish of the day. It was served with the largest pile of French beans I have seen for a long time! The skin was not removed and I was picking scales out of my mouth all night. I did not say anything as I did not discover this until I turned the fish over to eat the second side. We had a good seat by the window and, yes, the view is incredible - but the noise, music and singing from the bar made it hard to have a conversation. All in all, a very disappointing evening, an expensive mistake and one which we will not be repeating.

Amazing location, pub bar, restaurant and views extremely hard to better. Food needs a radical upgrade, prawn cocktail £16? Prawns out of a bag from Iceland not these days at that price. Duck breast tough as old boots, vegetables thrown at the plate from a great height, poor presentation. Lobster and prawn liquinine, micro waved for £32? Someone needs to get a grip in the kitchen!

We really enjoyed our Dinner. It was during the week with three choices to start and for the main course. Beautifully cooked using fresh and local fare.

Lovely country pub and very nice fish chips and peas. Nice selection of ales.

A delightful gastro pub! The restaurant area is very well presented and the staff very welcoming and friendly and the service is very good. The inn offers an impressive menu that does not disappoint in the eating. We had a beautiful meal with very high quality cookery and produce. I would describe this as high end gastro pub cuisine but rest assured - it is still a very relaxed and casual environment. Would thoroughly recommend

Once again , a fabulous Sunday Lunch - a lot of attention to detail with the sides ( mashed parsnip, parsnip curls , lots of variety with veg) - brilliant

Great little pub, decent beer. Didn’t have food here. It’s shame that the open fires were not in use.
