    Friendly welcome, we had the Sunday roast, so tender and delicious, on another level to a roast we had in St Ives last year, and that was good. Great service, food and beer.

    As soon as you walk in your greeted to a lovely atmosphere, with a sea side theme that ties in with the town. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, and the food is outstanding. Would definitely visit again!

    Four of us had a very good meal on Sunday night. Fish and chips with onion rings was tasty and the others had fish burgers which they enjoyed. The cherry/choc knickerbocker glory was perfect.

    We had the Hake special which was delicious and shared the Turkish Delight panacotta. The panacotta was light and was perfect to end the meal.
