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!

Unusual(but great)menu with fresh local food and bread made on site, very friendly staff. Great coffee and refreshing orange juice toilets available but only one.

Staff really friendly. Food was quite tasty but not value for money. Found this little cafe is expensive for what you get. Was hoping for decent artisan bread with some presentation effort, but sadly not. Can't work out whether it's a blue beach vibe or a vintage cafe due to the crockery used. Would I go again, not at those prices. However if you're in Newquay give it a look if you like cakes...they looked great.

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

Went to our favourite place for breakfast twice over a long weekend - brilliant both times! This is a wonderful place - lovely, charming service and the food is cracking! We only ever feel we have had a lovely time in Cornwall if we have visited Ben’s - you owe it to yourselves!

Lovely Strawberry Berryfields Cream Tea. Great start to our 5 day visit. As good as it looks!. We always come here at least once per holiday, yum!.

Came here for their well known huge cream teas!. The scones are home made and are huge! the pot of cream and jam is massive too. One of their cream teas would easily do 2 people. The only thing that lets this place down is one of the waitresses, older lady and quite miserable looking. Quite grumpy never smiles and seems to not want to be there. A smile goes a long long way, nonetheless forget this and have the cream tea, its is legendary and very reasonable too. The Latte is the best I have tasted, even better than Costa! Lunches are lovely too. Tiny little cafe but a lovely location.

Went for Sunday lunch. Soup was delicious but beef was tough & vegetables not generous particularly the roast potatoes. No choice except cheese was an alternative to desert . This seemed very over priced with a £6 supplement . Atmosphere was lovely & service good but no reduction made when one of our part had no soup or desert & left her beef because she couldn't cut it

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.

excellent food, cooked to perfection and great value for the quality. wines very well priced and a wide range, a must try!

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.

Overall, we enjoyed our time here for Sunday lunch. We think it's fair value and appreciate that they do not add service although we did. We appreciate having the choice. The service was good. Our hostess/waitress who did not introduce herself is very efficient. Service was unhurried but not too drawn out and attentive without being intrusive Our first two courses were good, particularly the mushroom course. It was beautifully creamy, and the Polenta crout was excellent What let the meal down was the beef main. We found the beef too stringy, and although the roast potatoes were good, the boiled carrots and white cabbage veggies were rather dismal. My partner called the mushroom duxelle pointless, I just found it tasteless . Overall, it was very disappointing. We had expected it to be the highlight As I have said, our first two courses were good and our pudding was enjoyable too. I loved the vanilla cream. Though my partner said it would have been nice to have a biscuity thing with it. I think that would work The decor is quite simple which we liked. It's a relaxing place to eat. The tables are a good size and the chairs are comfortable. I hate having to sit on poor quality ones. I would recommend this restaurant, but not sure we would return. Perhaps I am a philistine when it comes to beef as I am not keen on it being rare, especially when it's difficult to cut as it was here. Having a sharper knife would have helped

We came for afternoon tea and it was unbelievably delicious. I’ve been here quite a few times now and I’m never disappointed by the friendly staff and delicious home-cooked food. Highly recommend.

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
