Restaurants and Café

[lettie]

Been having a debate with DH if we need to book a few places to eat before we go. Will be staying in St Ives Cornwell, so if anybody can recommend anything it would be much appreciated.

not sure when you are going but reading the thread on current issues

if it is imminent & you havnt booked ahead you will struggle in cornwall...

sounds rammed / nightmare

I booked our Hayle/St Ives restaurants for the end of the month back in April as I had heard that last summer there were 4 bums for every available seat in hospitality down there. I tried moving a booking last week to a different time and couldn't get anything for the restaurant we wanted so I would recommend trying to get things booked now if you can and having a bit of a plan. We have some nights where we don't have anything but are happy with a pasty / fish and chips on a bench if we need to.

See more...

might be a bit calmer with kids back at school by then?/

although last year we went to northumberland same dates & still had to eat in the house we rented twice with takeaways as everywhere was mobbed

Yes definitely book somewhere.

You most certainly will need to book in advance.

The only one that I can thoroughly recommend is the Pedn Olva. That has great views and a very big reputation locally. I have had a couple of great meals there.

It is not that the rest are bad, simply that Falmouth where I live is absolutely flush with very good restaurants and I therefore have no need to travel. I have travelled for Pedn Olva though...

If near the A30 turnoff to Camborne, then Trevaskis Farm is excellent for a lunch.. and with cakes to die for!

If visiting Falmouth, then there are absolutely loads.. just send a PM. Again, getting a table may be a problem.
