This smart building stands on South Quay in Padstow. The food is mostly classic British, made from the best Cornish ingredients. The combination of good food and a standout location makes The Old Custom House a popular spot.
It's also much-loved for its range of beers and wines, which includes some gorgeous choices from local vineyard, Camel Valley. The Old Custom House is also a top spot for a coffee, from 11 am onwards.

Set down in one of Cornwall's most iconic coves, this beach cafe has been running since 1927. The original building this family run cafe sits in was purchased by the National Trust back in 1999. They fitted a water supply and helped to fit solar roof panels for electricity.
The menu offers plenty to graze on – freshly prepped sarnies and baguettes, jacket potatoes and pastries are all on the cards, while local suppliers provide those with a sweet tooth with pastries and ice cream....

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...

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.

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...

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...

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 landlords are from Canada, and the menu has a lively Cornish-Canadian blend, with classic dishes from both places. The pub has also become famous locally for its exclusive cocktails: try a Riptide or a Hayle Storm.
The Cornish Arms is cosy and...

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.
Good to know: It's not all about small plate style dishes,...

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...

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.
Renowned surf school Global Boarders runs...

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.

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...

A real family-friendly pub, The Old Quay House is best-known for its enormous beer garden, which juts out into the Hayle Estuary. There's a lot of seating inside (it hosts a lot of events); however, most families head straight for that splendid garden. Dogs are also welcome, provided they stay on the lead.
The Old Quay serves a range of traditional pub food, including a Sunday carvery that's always extremely popular among local customers. There's a wide selection of drinks, and it's...
