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

Staying on the Lizzard for New Year we visited this cafe twice in one week. A lovely warm welcome from the ladies running the cafe, friendly service and nice toasties. On New Year’s Day it was breakfasts only, so we had brunch. Great value and nicely cooked. Excellent as always when we visit

Brilliant venue for breakfast. Staff very helpful with gluten free vegan options. Excellent location with a lovely view too!!

We only popped in for drinks but, as soon as we saw the gorgeous cakes on display, we immediately knew we’d be weak and succumb to temptation! So, I had a slice of pistachio and rose sandwich cake with my soya coffee whilst my friend had a slice of cherry and almond Bakewell to accompany her decaf coffee. The coffees were perfect and the cakes, which are homemade, were so moist and utterly delicious. Apparently, this is a family business and we had lovely service from the mum and daughter, as well as a really pleasant and helpful young lad who was waiting on. We couldn't fault Twisted Currant for food, service and prices. Hurrah for the small independent where staff go that extra mile to ensure that they get things right.

Wow ! A lovely meal and plenty of it . Absolutely delicious. And the staff were lovely .. having a laugh and doing their job ! Impressed with porthleven .. friendly staff ! Rare these days

Had a takeaway pizza whilst on holiday…. OMG! Not just the best pizza ever but the whole experience…. Gorgeous friendly staff, exceptional service, totally affordable & perfect in every way…. These guys have got it right! We loved it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

End of lockdown, so everywhere was rammed or had huge queues. We waited about 20 mins for this and it was really unusual and absolutely delicious! We had a large Fishermans Basket and dirty fries to share, plenty of food for two.

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

Well worth a second trip! I decided to gift my sister a trip to Kota as a Xmas present. We utilised the winter dining offer which was excellent value and topped up with some extras of our choosing (the potato and oyster fritter and an additional dessert). The food never disappoints, the service is fantastic. I love the ambience of the place- equally comfortable in a pair of jeans or a posh frock. I also really like that you can choose which menu to order from on the night adding to the flexibility. Would recommend to anyone

Superb food , drinks, atmosphere and service. Delicious arancini and mackerel pâté . No surprise that it gets so busy. Just delightful !

Great beer and excellent entertainment from Bob Seymour, together made a fantastic evening out!

Having undergone refurbishment and under new management this Inn has become a great destination for good food and service. Having eaten here several times this was the first time we’d tried the Sunday lunch. It was excellent and the staff were lovely too, very friendly but not overly intrusive. Also dog friendly which also helps. Would highly recommend it. Plus as the weather improves, the excellent harbour side outdoor seating area is a real bonus.

The best coffee and a great cafe' - will be back to try to the food as looked delicious. Don't be put off by the industrial looking setting - it's a cafe' with their HQ all in one.
