Everything that the Spar has plus a Deli, amazing selection of cheeses, better booze and freshly prepared heat-up meals. The staff too are really friendly and helpful. It's open till eight an night - so trumps the Spar there too. Prices are not unreasonable for somewhere like Rock, and I thoroughly recommend a visit here.

On their website it says lunch is served from 9.15. So we get up and in the car to pick up some sandwiches. We get there at 10.05 and order, but they don't start serving lunch food till 10.30. Why state on your website a earlier time then? We've made the drive here, so say we will wait. In return we got given a look as if this was the biggest inconvenience ever. So we waited. 10.30 came and went. We wasn't sure if we could order or not - the lady didn't call us over and say 'Thanks for waiting, what would you like?'. Nothing. So we go ask 'Is it ok to order now?' with smiles on our faces. She rolls her eyes, grabs a notepad and writes down what we want - I asked a question, she couldn't even look at me to answer me, rolls her eyes again then tells us it will be a while because she's not ready. If it wasn't for my boyfriend really wanting to eat here, I would have just walked out and not got the sandwich. In fact, I did walk out and left him to pay. I'm not rude and I don't expect people to be rude back to me. I understand you might be busy, so just explain and all will be cool. What makes it weirder is that I heard her being polite to a local. So maybe as a visitor to your lovely village (as one who might not return for a while) we don't deserve the same respect. The sad part is our sandwiches were good. Really good. My tuna melt was the best I've ever had and it was a really good price at £12 for two sandwiches and drinks. But would I go back while on holiday here? Nope.

If you are looking to get away from more touristy Marazion or Penzance, make the drive to Porthleven and eat here. We started with the bread with hummus and olives. The bread had a warm fennel flavor and the hummus had great texture. My friends had the warm seafood starter and I had the Porthleven crab. It was everything crab should be: sweet, fresh and juicy. For mains all three of us had the same dish: hake filet with sautéed greens, pea shoots, lemon, anchovies and capers. It was a perfectly balance dish and the fish was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a creme brûlée with rhubarb compote and ginger ice cream. Quite lovely. Service was excellent. Beware, it's a small place and very popular. You will need a reservation!

Their Full Cornish outshines any "English" version I've had, built on the freshest ingredients and real care in the kitchen. But the standout for me was the Brisket Reuben. As both a Texan and a Jew, brisket is practically a food group, and I've become sadly a snob about it. This one was unlike anything I've ever been served: brisket that genuinely melted in my mouth. (And the house-made sauerkraut could merit its own review.) Trying to describe an eating experience is always a bit of a fool's errand, but you clicked here to find out whether this café is worth your time. So let me be clear: if you want breakfast or lunch in St. Ives, this should be your top choice. The only thing that surpassed the food was the warm hospitality from proprietor Mark, his son (whose name, apologies, I've forgotten), and chef Tom who made our visit to the city feel even more special. Easiest possible recommendation.
