The best restaurants serving British food in St Ives North Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Poor quality sandwich, more bread than filling, and the price did not reflect what was served. Friendly staff but would not recommend a visit.

Brilliant service, great selection of flavours. Very generous scoop sizes. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting

Had a lovely early morning coffee and pastry, whilst on a walk around this area. Fabulous warm welcome, great coffee and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely little bar and eatery right in the harbour so perfect views Staff was very friendly and seemed happy to be there Got to try there cocktails there amazing flavors Little bit dearer for some items but that the price you pay for quality Popped back a few times whilst we stayed there last week

Great freshly cooked gf fish and chips no preordering required we just took our place in queue. Fish in gf batter really crispy both cod and haddock excellent. Chips fine would recommend

Danish pastry completely sealed in plastic. It was really awful so checked packaging. They make them and seal them for a 3 day shelf life, so no fresh bakery produce here, you are as well with a mass-produced supermarket one. Checking the ingredients, they aren't even Danish pastry ingredients. The "superdough" part of the ingredients was just a chemical filled anomaly of things that shouldn't be there. That is not a Danish Pastry. And why all those unnecessary ingredients in the icing? Icing sugar and water would suffice. Interestingly, there is no flour listed on the ingredients for the superdough so I doubt it is a legal list. That is quite a serious omission! I attach a photo of the ingredients list. Philps comment is that they do mention flour later under possible allergens

If you are in St Ives and you only visit one bakery then it has to be this one. Make sure you try the Cruffin, filled with jam and custard!! Out of this world

Lobster and chips with garlic butter. Washed down with a cold Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect! Set back off the harbour but well worth seeking out

Pengenna have supported ST IVES Community Foodshare project for the past few years giving surplus pasties to us to avoid waste and support the locals of the town. We are so sorry that they are closing they will be missed. Best wishes and many thanks to all the lovely staff.

Arrogant young staff that seemed offended and surprised that we were not entirely happy to hear that most of the menu was unavailable or described as ‘sold out’ despite it being only 6:45pm and us having booked a week in advance at the cost of £15 booking fee. Also with the restaurant being half empty. The fact we had the audacity to question the lack of options at such an early hour was met with the delightful response of “it’s a restaurant and sometimes this happens, if you don’t like it you can leave”. Given the aggressive and over confident attitude of the young lady, and with her clearly limited customer service awareness or skills, we had no choice but to do just that.

Absolutely loved our visit to the Cornish Bakery in St Ives! This place is a must-stop if you’re exploring the area. The traditional Cornish pasty was everything you’d hope for—rich, hearty, and full of authentic flavor. You can taste the heritage in every bite. But what really surprised me was the Pea and Feta Pie—light, fresh, and packed with flavor. It’s the perfect vegetarian option, and honestly, one of the best combinations I’ve ever had in a savory pie. The staff were friendly, the service quick, and the view from the seating area made everything taste even better. Highly recommend grabbing a few different pies and enjoying them by the sea. We’ll definitely be back!

After a lovely day in St Ives we went to this marvellous cafe brilliant staff and lovely mocha and mum had a cup of tea and a lemon drizzle cake and dad had a cream tea we will come here again

Now called courtyard cafe. Worst cream tea I have had and expensive. Scones were obviously shop bought and microwaved and were not fresh along with cheap tasting raspberry jam with no choice. Quaint place and staff were friendly enough. Nice location but pity about he quality of food.

Without a doubt the friendliest pub in St Ives. Fantastic landlord, manager and staff who always made us feel welcome. Our son was always made to feel welcome too, he loves his football and music and pool! Had something for everyone everyday. And a special shout out to Yogi Bear the pub dog who is adorable. Great choice of drinks, reasonable prices what more could you ask for on holiday or local for that matter! X
