Friday 25th August 2023, My husband and I we saw a sign for a 17th Century Seafood Inn at Cadgwith Cove, and so we decided to explore this further. A steep narrow lane winds down to a small cove, divided by a small rocky promontory. Thatched stone cottages cluster round the beach. It is a working fishing port and local fishermen catch mainly crab and lobsters out in the bay and these are sold at the fish market on the quay. We parked the car in the car park at the top of the hill and took the path down to Cadgwith Cove. The path wound through a wild flower meadow and then down through the thatched cottages, even through gardens on the way to the cove, a very idyllic place with pastel coloure...
We were down in Cadgwith for the week last week. We went over to the pub most nights. We were always greeted with a friendly smile from all the staff. Mel and Jackie are just fantastic ladies. They really made us feel at home. We look forward to seeing them again next year. I've been going to Cadgwith since I was a little girl and i have never had a meal at the pub. That needed to be fixed and we ate there on our last night. It did not disappoint! I had the muscles and my husband had the steak. Both meals were delicious If you are down the lizard way make sure to have a trip to the pub on a Friday evening to watch the fishermen singing. Absolutely phenomenal. I ended up in tears watching th...
We know and love this pub, we've been going for years when we're in Cornwall, food is always good, lots of fish straight from the fishing boats across the road , BUT, Sunday lunch here is to die for! As close to home cooked as you're going to get. Highly recommend. I had roast pork and you get an enormous chunk of shoulder of pork and crackling, so good, and delicious vegetables, not over cooked, potatoes, super crisp too! My husband had the beef, also just as delicious. Gary and Helen fantastic hosts and so welcoming, great staff, so helpful. Lovely atmosphere, great for familes, dogs more than welcome.
I recently visited this pub with my Mum for a drink, so I cannot comment on the food. The pub itself is gorgeous, and the room with the bar has a cozy feel to it. The service was average, but the bartender seemed more interested in chatting with her friend. The wine was pricier compared to other local pubs we have been to. Based on other reviews mentioning the high cost, it appears that you are paying for the location and the fact that it is the only pub in the village. There is potential for improvement to better utilize the charming old building in this quaint village.

We absolutely adore this inn and its food, and our friends and us traveled quite a distance for a meal. Unfortunately, our experience was just okay. While dining in the restaurant, the door to the outside area was left open. A customer's dog outside barked intermittently, occasionally non-stop, throughout our meal, completely ruining the experience for us. Despite my complaint to a staff member, no action was taken by either the staff or the owner. As a result, we will not be returning to this inn, which has missed out on significant revenue from us.
This is one of the best pub/restaurants I have ever been to. I came to Cagdwith with my family and friends for a week holiday for the first but definitely not the last time. Helen, Garry and the staff were amazing, extremely friendly and hospitable. The food is incredibly delicious and a great range of refreshing drinks after a breezy walk. We loved the atmosphere with the locals whilst watching the rugby, folk night and the sea shanties. Thank you for the lovely evenings Steve
The meal was disappointing. I started with the scampi, which came as just four small pieces with tartar sauce and no garnish. The fish and chips, advertised as locally caught and fresh, were tasteless and seemed frozen. I was so disappointed that I didn't stay for dessert. I ordered a beer that never arrived, but I was still charged for it on the bill. Maybe it was just a bad weekend, but I won't be returning. It wasn't worth the £60.
Found after a long drive down from Kent, welcomed with open arms and a beaming smile. Stayed in a lovely room a stone throw from the sea. Family atmosphere and dog friendly. Food was amazing, mussels are the biggest and best ever tasted even better than my wife’s and that’s saying something). Everything was a joy. Thank you so much ,we will be back. Ian, Jenny and Muttley.

Fantastic pub and ambience. Friendly bar staff and landlady. Great beer too. Ate at the pub twice during the week and between us we about covered the menu. Lovely food and value for money. Well worth a visit and the folk night and sea shanty singers are an additional bonus.
Superb food and friendly service. Excellent fresh fish and especially liked the squid. Daily specials are varied and exquisitely prepared. Good selection and beers/ales and wines. Lucky to have this pub in Cadgwith. Dog friendly by the way.
