Great find while travelling down the coast road. A really smart cafe serving delicious home cooked breakfast and lunch. We had a terrific cooked breakfast and home made cakes to take away.

We stopped here by chance on a Sunday morning on our way back from a camping weekend at the start of August so apologies for the late review. It is a nice big, open, light barn conversion type building with plenty of parking and it was busy, a lot of whom were clearly local so a very good sign. As there were 5 of us we used 2 of the 3 tables where the servery counter and till is and could see just how busy the staff were. The waitresses taking the orders were a steady stream handing in drinks orders and collecting trays of drinks whilst the bell announcing "ready meals" in the kitchen kept tolling like a harbour bell. It just didn't stop. The lady at the till said there would be a delay and quite frankly we didn't mind. The food we saw looked well worth the wait and explained why the place was so busy. When our meals arrived they were gorgeous, generous portions and the kids, 7 and 10 and normally picky, got stuck in and didn't say a word. The drinks were great and at just over 50 to overstuff the 5 of us in preparation for a 6 hour drive was value for money. Well worth adding to your plans for Cornwall but be prepared to wait, it is well worth it. My hats off to the staff for their hard work and politely dealing with some rude, entitled idiots who thought that the standard "wait to be served" system didn't apply to them. Having managed Customer Service teams I would be happy to have each of the staff on my team.

On a weekend break away, not far from this lovely little cafe. Visited twice during our stay and the food was incredible each time. I'm not usually a breakfast person but I'd go there for one every weekend if I could!

A great drive by cafe off the highest standard. Warm welcome and a lovely area for dinning. We had breakfast there and there are gluten free options apart from toast, but sausages, beans and hash browns all gluten free. Food is well priced and excellent we both really enjoyed the food and everything was clean and fresh. Toilets were good and clean and without any issues. The entrance is very welcoming as are the staff and its a great dinner for dogs and children to relax. Definitely be back its a great stop off for travellers and locals looking for a great lunch or afternoon tea or coffee. Open everyday too so don't miss the opportunity of this great Dinner.
