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

This hotel and restaurant is situated on the same coast as the Nare. It therefore shares the same "subtropical" climate. The gardens reflect this and the hotel is on a gentle cliff with access to the sea and small beach with no signs of civilisation around. It is certainly a beautiful and unique area. Parking is easy and first impressions of the hotel entrance suggest a 1960's house that has been extended on multiple occasions. The staff vary from being pleasant, attentive and slightly nervous to extremely chatty and friendly. The dining room has 2 sections and I felt the area near the entrance had the best ambiance. The views towards the sea are amazing but remember that if you sit on a table next to the vista windows early in the evening by the time it gets dark you will be looking at a vast black area of glass which is unpleasant due to complete absence of outside light. Maybe best to take a table next to the inside wall. There is a fixed price dinner for £70 and this includes warm home made rolls and excellent canapés. The duck parfait was enjoyable and the preserved bream unusual. The main courses were very fish orientated with a non-fish choice of only 1 out of 4 meat eaters may have some difficulty. Monkfish was perfect and the Soufflé memorable. With service, tax and 2 glasses of wine the dinner for 2 came to almost £190 - perhaps a little more than expected but an enjoyable evening.

Truly excellent meal, great service from attentive staff, fabulous decor and clean facilities, very highly recommended.

First class in every way. Lovely customer service, absolutely delicious bread rolls, yummy breakfast filling and delicious coffee. Perfect. Going back tomorrow!

From arrival we had an amazing experience. Staff very friendly and food top notch. Didn't have to wait long either to be served our meals. Will definitely go back!

Wonderful food and excellent service. The view is gorgeous. It's a bit old fashioned and that isn't everyone's cup of tea but the feeling of stepping back in time is part of it's charm. The waiting staff were immaculately dressed and the service was faultless. The food was delicious.

Most relaxing place to sit by the mill pond and have a drink or a bite to eat. The walk round the pond is lovely. The waterwheel is nice to see and there is a good antique shop.

Wonderful view from the terrace. Empty on an October lunchtime. Excellent very high standard of service and decor. Fortunately it only rained briefly and the waiter immediately offered to move us indoors but we saw it out for the view! The main courses were excellent to taste, Brill, and a kind of beef steak. The portions on the small side. The bread and seaweed butter were also excellent. The desserts, on the other hand, were small and disappointing and poor value. With a glass of Rose and a soft drink the bill came to £110. We both wished we had not had the desserts. Would return on dry day for the view, bread and butter and mains, but above all for the view. Would avoid the desserts.

Great Sunday Lunch Pork Yorkshire Pud and vegetables, pan cooked Hake and a magnificent orange cheesecake dessert in the cosy pub.

Returned again here on Saturday, food was great and the waiter was extremely helpful and chatty, my favourite restaurant in at.mawes. Highly recommend the megrim sole.

It has been some years since my last visit and the Quarterdeck has had a significant extension which I have to say is fabulous. I was not disappointed. The new entrance to the Quarterdeck did cause a few problems negotiating the cobbled paving with a wheelchair wasn't that easy but possible (certainly above my pay grade) but, with my dear friends son and daughter in Law it was negotiated. Having said that the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Once in, there is a disabled toilet which comfortably accommodates both the wheelchair and helper (I say that because many aren't big enough). Movement around once inside is completely fine, we had a lovely table next to an open sliding window overlooking both the pool & garden and of course the beautiful sea vista. Then we ordered food: To start, one smoked salmon & crab cannelloni (no pasta involved just crab wrapped in smoked salmon), one french onion soup with croutons and 2 bread rolls, and one fishcake, all 3 of us thought fabulous. For main course courses: 2 of us had Lobster, one grilled one Thermador (requested), 1 moules frites, and 1 catch of the day (sole). Again, the cleaned plates and grins on everyone's faces showed how much it was enjoyed. Then one Eton mess (which I have been assured is how it should be done), one Dark chocolate Torte with raspberries & salted caramel ice cream - absolutely divine and one affogato. Yes, it was a bit of treat for a 91 year old lady who is wheelchair bound, (who alway lets me park up at hers when I go off sailing) accompanied by her Son and Daughter in Law. Criticisms : 1) the entrance path isn't very wheel chair friendly but manageable - and without being able to park virtually next to the door, as we did, it would have been very hard work getting a wheelchair down the steep slope from the car park (maybe that should be a disabled parking bay?) 2) I was a bit disappointed not to be given any bread with the drinks, but actually I am so grateful they didn't as I had room for 3 delicious courses (good marketing) I am just so naughty with freshly baked bread and then find I either don't have room for a delicious pudding or come away thinking I have eaten too much! I'm sure I'm not the only one?? I think my lesson to me is if you go somewhere special and really want to enjoy . . . kick the bread to start.

Friendly, great setting and decent pub food. We didn’t stray from pub classics and what we had was as good as you would expect. However the whole experience was marred by the smell of cooking fat that seemed to resonate through the place, to the extent I probably wouldn’t go back. Perhaps it was where we were sitting but we were not far from the bar in the central part.

Had takeaway chips today - what has happened??? Normally have takeaway chips from here when visiting St Mawes and they have always been lovely traditional fish and chips. Today the “chips” were chunky frozen wedges style potatoes . Knew it wasn’t going to be good from the smell when waiting - not the normal chip shop chips. Awful - won’t bother again. Have also previously eaten in the restaurant but would not again after this experience.
