The best restaurants serving British food in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

I visited for the last time. My lunch was wonderful as usual , Hubby had the ploughman’s . I couldn’t wait for a piece or should I say slab of strawberry & cream cake. This wonderful place CLOSED at the end of September. The lease no longer viable , the cafe has decided to move to TRURO . So although I am sad , I know I will be able to visit TRURO for my delicious Cakes. So if you love this place like I do look out for ‘The Cake House’ in Truro .

we had amazing food served with friendly, professional service. Despite being fully booked the attention to detail was wonderful. Well done to Ceri and Matt for running Restaurant Four so well!

Absolutely love Charles, delicious freshly cooked food very friendly staff lovely building whats not to like , in my view best in tintagel

Love this spot!! We come back again and again, definitely some of the best cakes in Newquay. Definitely try the chocolate cake and lemon meringue pies! Staff are so friendly and everything is freshly made and great quality. Would recommend!

We have eaten here many times, but have just very sadly read, that Taste has closed permanently at the end of April. We wish you all the best with whatever path you take in the future x

Great quality, superb location and views . Sensible prices which is amazing for a food and drinks outlet in Padstow. Went in for a coffee , then saw the great food and decided to stay for lunch. Friendly happy staff.

wWe stayed here for 2 x nights B&B to attend my nephew's wedding. The breakfasts we had on the 2 x mornings we stayed was excellent, and the dinner provided by the Chef and the 2 x waitresses the evening of the wedding was as equally outstanding, I can see why people travel to this place for their evening meals and Sunday dinner, I would highly, highly recommend this hotel and the Bistro.

Went here with no real expectations other than we were looking for something above pub grub. We were very impressed with the inside of the restaurant which was very nicely decorated giving a nice atmosphere. what was the greatest part of the evening was the food, beautifully present and most importantly extremely tasty. I do not often have three courses but could not resist the deserts and these did not disappoint. This restaurant is a hidden gem and we will certainly return. The menu only has 4 or 5 choices of each course, but this allows the chef to cook fresh and spend time on each course, which reaps rewards on freshness and taste. If I had the smallest of observation, perhaps the waiting staff could be a little more engaging, but I know this is a fine line to tread, you have a good enough restaurant to compete with the very best, so perhaps introducing yourself to the guest might be a nice little touch in welcoming guests. Each course was describe to us upon placing in front of us. Great place and would not hesitate going back and recommending which already have done. Thank you Asquith's

So sad to hear that our favourite tea rooms has closed. Thank you to Suzy, Dave, Ryan and Teresa for being so friendly and welcoming to our family over the past few years. As mentioned by others your scones were simply the best and all food, cakes and drinks so lovingly prepared. We were so glad to have been able to make one last visit during October. There was nowhere else we would have made a 180 mile round trip to visit for sure. Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Fabulous food. First time here for about 10 years, but it was excellent in every way. Super food, very well cooked and presented, and a very good wine list. Couldn’t really be topped.

Found this little gem of a cafe by chance and so glad we did. We both had filled ciabattas which were lovely. I then had to have a slice of homemade lemon cake which was amazing. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back next time we’re in Cornwall

An amazing find! Beautiful setting in the garden with the sea in the distance. The homemade scones were delicious. Highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!

We had a lovely lunch at Springtide in Charlestown the food and service was great and the chowder was delicious! Thanks for having us!

Holidaying out of season we sometimes fall victim to weary restaurants and rip offs. Not so with Culture. I'd rather forego 2 average meals to pay for this. The small tucked away restaurant is charming. Just two people there - the chef and the sommelier/waiter. Sensational bread and butter followed by a potato soup that is hard to describe but truly delicious. We had a fish dish that blew us away, my husband loving the clever pairing wines, followed by venison and a chocolate cake. We couldnt fault the food and will be back without a doubt. Well done!

So bloody happy I was able to get my hands on a DF V milkshake! I had an oreo milkshake that was oat based and it was DELICIOUS. With allergies you really struggle to get the good stuff anymore, so I was really chuffed with my milkshake. Friendly, quick service and delicious drink with all normal options available as well as smoothies and other drinks. Highly recommend when you visit Newquay! 🌊
