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

My sister and I had a potter around Charlestown this morning and called into the Tallships Creamery on our way back to the car. What a lovely, quirky little place this is. We chose a cheese and onion pasty and a slice of chocolate fudge cake to share. What can I say, the pasty was absolutely lovely. The combination of the cheese with the flaky pastry was absolutely yummy and the chocolate fudge cake was gorgeous. Definitely a place I would go to again.

This is a really great place to visit for lunch, or just coffee. Staff friendly, professional and efficient. Good menu choice. Lovely views from club house.

We visited for a family members birthday last night. I found we didn’t get a warm welcome everything seemed to be a bit rushed with ordering food etc. The starter was good so it looked promising for the main but how wrong was I. I ordered the king prawns with cashew nuts which had absolutely no flavour, the sauce was quite clumpy. Myself and a member of my family didn’t feel well during the night have felt quite sick today also. The duck didn’t come out how we thought it would and didn’t look very appetising at all so I didn’t touch it. Other members of the party who tried it didn’t rate the duck at all. I understand about not wanting to waste food but we felt like we had to eat all of it as the man serving wasn’t very approachable and basically told us if we didn’t eat the majority of it he’d refuse to serve us. The restaurant didn’t seem to have any atmosphere, I visited a few years back and I didn’t get the same experience as I got last night so unfortunately we will not be returning again.

Delicious ice cream, perfect latte, and the staff are lovely : )

This is no longer at Pinetum Gardens near St Austell! It is 30 minutes away in Truro which the children weren’t going to be able to last. Such as shame.

Food and service was good. However, the atmosphere was poor with few people visiting.

Difficult to rate this one as it was both excellent and disappointing. We stayed one night on our way round the South West Coast Path. The room was very nicely decorated with everything we needed, and some nice extra touches. There was an issue with the plumbing which we reported in the morning and I’m confident it’ll be fixed for the next guest - can’t be helped. Breakfast was excellent. By far the best vegan full English of our walk so far. The 2 staff working were both excellent too. So bed and breakfast was great. But our meal the night before wasn’t. My wife had a marmite/potato dish, which was nicely presented and tasty enough, but the size of a starter and lacking something. My curry was fine, and substantial. Service was very slow and we’re still waiting for the staff member to come back with the dessert menu (we gave up after 15 minutes). Others had the wrong orders brought to them and waited over an hour for food. So, B&B - great, dinner - don’t bother.

stunning views,comfortable rooms and friendly staff

Highly recommended! Came for our first carvery here and have to say it did not disappoint! The meat was lush, a nice selection of veg, all cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. Staff were also friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be back.

Had the standard breakfast and it was pretty good value. Cafe was clean and everything was served hot. Staff were efficient and pleasant to deal with. Would definitely return.

I just want to say how much I love coming here…the food is fresh and the staff are hard working and efficient. Their cooking grill is seasoned and produces great tasting breakfasts and more. Locally sourced ingredients. A +++

Won’t be back anytime soon ! It used to be a good but has fallen off the edge I’m afraid The cafe area is a complete shambles, full bin bags lying in the seating area, tinned drinks stacked up, bookshelves stood up against wall and no heating. Food is poor quality and hugely overpriced, with stale bread, salad leaves going brown and “ lumps” of cheese in the sandwich. The staff are less than helpful and appearance does not seem to matter to them. All in all a very poor standard set in all aspects

Really lovely establishment, great food, great coffee and mostly great service. But sadly, we won’t be returning. We shut the front door as we were feeling too chilly and a member of staff soon after reopened the door. As another member of staff passed we asked if she was able to shut the door for us as we were too cold, she said this was absolutely fine and apologised for the other member of staff. Within a matter of minutes again the previous member of staff opened the door again. The cold was unbearable, we ended up sat in our coats and had to get takeaway boxes for our cakes.

Such good BBQ! Portion sizes were ideal and filled up right up. Very kind pot of sliced sausage for our dogs who loved it!

Just popped in for a pizza and a few drinks with my partner—everything was cooked to perfection. Big shoutout to Oliver and Sam behind the bar who were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. If you haven’t been here yet, or it’s been a while, I highly recommend stopping by to see what it’s all about. You won’t be disappointed!
