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

Hidden gem. Beautiful location and interior. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were lovely. Will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed an excellent Sunday Roast at The Boathouse today. Food was of good quality, well presented and plentiful. Great value too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

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.

After planning to propose in the morning in Cornwall, I called here and spoke to Yvonne about a possible private dining experience for me and my partner's post-proposal lunch. She was massively helpful and gracious in stepping me through the options they had, and how they could arrange things to have a balance of privacy/intimacy and a good view. My partner also had very tricky dietary requirements at the time, so Yvonne organised for their chef Carla to call me back in a couple hours. I went through all the details with Carla and, just like Yvonne, she was super attentive in creating an alternative menu that would be safe and delicious, which we received on the day as a custom printed menu to choose things from. Very nice! We were also "lucky" to have gone in during a storm warning (a Friday lunch time) so we ended up with the place completely to ourselves for majority of our lunch. Thank you Yvonne and Carla, I could not be more thankful to you both for helping make that already-special day even better! P.S. The food was great, and the mille-feuille dessert was so good that I was dual-wielding spoons to eat it faster.

Always excellent food and fantastic service from Jo. We’re always so looked after. Looking forward to our next visit soon.

A special thanks to Paul for helping sort a NYE takeaway, which was perfect. Three of us had the Cod Curry and my friend the fish pie, the portions were just right and the quality excellent. Would recommend.

Whilst the setting is lovely and the staff were very good the same cannot be said of the food, which was very disappointing and very over priced. My friend had checked that they could cater for a vegetarian, which was confirmed but there was absolutely no options other than a dreadful 'roast' vegetable salad, which had virtually no roast vegetables, a few roast auberges and peppers but otherwise it all came out of a jar, mozzarella cheese and rocket. I ordered place, which I am sure had been frozen as it was tasteless, soggy spinach, good tender stem broccoli. My poor friend put up with the 'roast' veg salad. We both had French fries which were of poor quality and not very nice. Puddings were good. Such a pity, so much scope to have provided a better meal. This is not a cheap restaurant and I could not recommend it unfortunately.

We had two meals on separate occasions and each time the food was wonderful. There is a lovely atmosphere at the pub and the staff are most helpful.

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.
