We needed a bite at2-ish, when a lot of places had stopped serving, and others required booking. We had the crab sandwich and a toasted ciabatta, which were delicious! The little side salad was fresh and looked too pretty to eat.

My friend and I visited Penzance and needed some lunch, we popped in here and they had fresh crab sandwiches… so of course we ordered them and a large wine! The crab tasted SO fresh and was such good value. Also, the bread tasted home made! And the garnish had a beautiful edible flower. So lovely. Wonderful staff too, the lady running the place is fabulous!

Lovely food although staff didn’t seem very happy and welcoming, there was a group of 6 of us so maybe that put them off. Don’t know but the food and drink was lovely so deserves a good review for that.

Great service and atmosphere and a great range of hot drinks on the menu. I had the half and half hot chocolate which was great and a sourdough pizza which tasted delicious. Lovely soups as well. Staff were friendly, and there was a nice old feel to the place.

Really nice place, with a great selection of teas that come in a big teapot. I loved the detail of the timer for the brewing time. The coffee was also good! And the prices are reasonable. However the cakes were not as good, and therefore only four starts.
