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

Honestly, I've had better fish and chips from a dodgy van parked on the side of a motorway. The fish? Let's just say it had the texture of something that had been sunbathing on a leather sofa for a week. Chewy doesn't even begin to cover it. And the chips? Oh, the chips were a soggy, pale imitation of what they should be. They slumped on the paper like they'd given up on life. To top it all off, the price was absolutely outrageous. I left feeling significantly lighter in the wallet and deeply disappointed in my stomach. Avoid this place like the plague. You'd be better off microwaving some fish fingers.

So the hot drinks, served out of a machine, which is ok I guess, but only fill half the cup they server it in, which are tapered too, so you get about 3 mouthfuls if you are lucky, for £3.50! A comment was made that they weren't serving half measures, the cups are just big, no, the cups were perfectly normal, you are serving very small hot drinks and now, we'll never go back. What would it really cost to just fill the cups up? There was a button on the machine that indicated it could do a larger drink, use it, and your customers will be far happier. It's places like this that make it hard to support local independent businesses, £3.50 would have bought me a far larger drink at somewhere like Costa, hand crafted, and not out of a machine that's probably using instant powders. It's a real shame as the location is fantastic and the view is really good, it was quiet, and plenty of space. Didn't try any food, if they even did it, it was hard to tell as we saw little indication of menus etc. There is plenty of room to improve things, just hope they can.
