  • The Angry Anchovy / Port Isaac

    The Angry Anchovy - Pizza - Port Isaac

  • Gylly Beach Cafe / Falmouth

    Gyllyngvase beach cafe

    Views don't come in much better shape than the ones that come for free when you dine at the Gylly Beach Cafe. It's perched on a Falmouth favourite beach, and locks in views of both Pendennis Castle and the Lizard Peninsula.

  • Newlyn Meadery / Newlyn

    Newlyn Meadery

    Welcome to a real West Cornish tradition: the Meadery. There are a few of these medieval-themed restaurants dotted around, and Newlyn's is especially fun, thanks to its former cinema location and “drawbridge” entrance. 

    Inside, the vast banqueting hall is dimly lit and lively, and you'll be served by the Meadery's Wenches. The menu? The Meadery is famous for its “chicken in the rough” or ribs, served on wooden platters. Medieval purists - don't stress about the fact there are potatoes...

  • St Kew Inn / Port Isaac

    St Kew Inn

    It's a 6 mile walk to St Kew from Padstow, or a 12 mile drive (that pesky estuary). Either way, it’s worth it to visit this 15th-century inn in its rural hamlet.

    The St Kew Inn serves lovely local produce, some of it cooked over a wood fire. Try the catch from that day’s fishing boats, or tuck into some succulent Cornish meat. Just make sure that you leave room for pudding, which includes their unique smoked ice cream…

    Inside, the inn is made up of several...

  • The Tinners Arms / Zennor

    Tinners Arms interior

    Dating back to 1271, The Tinners Arms is one of the oldest inns around. It was built to provide beds, food and ale for the masons building St Senara's Church next door; and when you step into the dimly-lit, wood-smokey old bar, it's easy to imagine the Tinners' medieval origins.

    The Tinners serves classic pub food made from local ingredients. If you're walking the coast path and pop into Zennor en route, the ham, egg & chips with a pint of Mermaid really hits the spot. You can sit...

  • The Jam Pot - Gwithian

    Yes, this place is as cute as its name. This appealing cafe is housed in a listed building, an old, round coastguard lookout that's super-cosy in the colder months. However, most customers choose to stay outside, as the Jam Pot has the most incredible seaside location.

    The tea room serves up traditional, homemade comfort food. Come here for sandwiches, toasties and some of the best freshly baked cakes in the area, as well as Cornish favourites like pasties and cream teas.

  • The Bank - Bude

    You don't have to jump on a plane for a taste of Spain if you're visiting this spot. Spanish ingredients join forces with Cornish produce here to turn out a collection of tasty tapas dishes. 

    This riverside restaurant doesn't put all of its eggs in one basket though, an extensive choice of cocktails ramp up the holiday feeling. And, Estrella-fans are in luck, it's the only place you'll find this Spanish fave on tap.

  • The Cornish Arms - Hayle

    This fine-looking pub is on Commercial Road, part of the long road that runs the length of Hayle. Despite its central location, it has a lovely beer garden at the front, which is a great spot for a drink on a summer evening.

  • The London Inn / Padstow

    The London Inn - Padstow

    Hungry? Thirsty? Head towards the harbour and tuck into proper pub grub at the London Inn. The hearty menu uses lots of great local produce (especially fish), and there’s a good choice of real ales in this welcoming pub.

    If you love a traditional inn (and who doesn’t?)The family-run London Inn is a good option. The building was originally three fisherman’s cottages, dating back to 1803. In true Cornish style, it’s named after a boat, not the English city.

    The pub also has four...

  • Life's a beach - Bude

    You can't argue with this restaurant's name in a place like Bude. And it follows through with a location so close to the sea you can hear the waves. 

    Dining at Life's a Beach (or LAB as it's known locally) is pretty casual, and naturally there's plenty of seafood dishes on the menu. But there are also a good selection of other picks too. There's even Cornwalls take on a Bratwurst sausage - get a load of that!

  • Olive Tree / Bude

    Olive Tree Bude

    A canal-facing terrace ensures dinner with a view at the Olive Tree. Well, in fact, it serves all three meals so you can eat in the open wherever the sun is sitting. 

    And, with Summerleaze Beach a stone's throw from its doorstep, this place does waterside dining at its best. A big menu provides crowd-pleasing dishes whatever your taste, have a look at the seafood sarnies though - crusty bread and just-caught fresh seafood are a winning match in our books. 

    Good to know: The...

  • Sunset Surf / Hayle

    Sunset Surf cafe - Gwithian

    This is such a West Cornish combo: a beachside cafe and surf school. Tuck into a bacon sandwich breakfast after a morning surf, or simply bypass the aquatic bit and head straight for a cream tea.

    The cafe is open ten until four from Wednesday to Sunday. The terrace is the perfect spot for a coffee (or a chilled afternoon cider on a hot day), or if you need to warm up from the water, drink a hot chocolate next to their toasty woodburner.

  • Beach Cafe Bar / St Ives

    Beach Cafe Bar - St Ives

    Sitting at one of the pavement tables, looking out at the clear blue waters of the harbour, it's hard to believe that you're still in Britain. If you enjoy the bustle of people watching combined with a postcard-perfect view, the outdoor area at the Beach Cafe Bar provides some of the best seats in town.

    Open from 8:30, the Beach Cafe Bar starts the day with brunch, before moving onto coffees then turning into a drinks bar until late. If you need a pick me-up in the morning, come here...

    Lifeboat cafe - Fowey

    What could be better than a cafe where you can choose a sailor's hat and look swag whilst swilling tea? Say no more, Fowey, here you come, right? The smell of coffee brewing will bring you straight to this cosy café's door.
