The decor inside is very beachy. There are turquoise colors, surf quotes, fish on the walls and plenty of laid back wicker style furniture. It was so comfortable sitting at a couch with a table with my kids. Another major bonus is that this has been the only place in Newquay to provide my girls with a kid menu and crayons that they can color. That kept them busy for a while. The service was also some of the best I've had here. Our server was a very friendly young man who actually engaged in conversation with us . The menu is vast including a big drink selection. I had a cider and Bianco pizza. The pizza was salty but good otherwise. We also had the squid as an appetizer and that was very tasty. It came with a delicious aioli sauce.

They use real wood Fire oven to cook the pizzas in and it was really beautifully cooked. The salad was delicious but just lacked that little extra (maybe basil?).

Just needs that extra umph on the food front to take it to a 5 star. But they're fairly new so there's time....

We walked past this colourful, vibrant looking restaurant on our first brief afternoon in Looe and…read moreearmarked it for a potential visit during our week in the area. Glad to say we got involved early doors on the second night. As you'd expect on a mid-September Wednesday early evening in a tourist hotspot in Cornwall, it wasn't exactly heaving. Nowhere is at 5.30. Too early for the ravers, too late for the biddies, perfect for the young-parent crowd, which we are firmly in the camp of. Speaking of, there was another young family there (who incidentally we'd seen wandering the cobbled streets of Polperro earlier in the day) and a middle aged, childless couple in situ. Regardless, the service was exceptional. The very clearly authentically Italian server was attentive and helpful throughout and happy to chat and give recommendations. In addition to this, he went above and beyond for aforementioned Baby G - he was grizzling, as is his way at the moment, which was obvious for all in the restaurant to see. I was walking him around when he offered some free breadsticks to keep him occupied. It worked! He also engaged with Asa in a card swapping game - coincidentally (?) handing over a 'rate us on Tripadvisor' card in exchange for one Asa had just picked up. Cynical, moi?! Couple more little, but noticeable, things - he washed up ALL of the dude's paraphernalia, plate, bib and spoon. Really appreciated that. And also the food came at the perfect temperature - not too hot as it always is in every other restaurant we go to, thereby incurring a tentative wait while it cools. They clearly know how to deal with kids, and are truly a 'family friendly' place. Onto the food - Em had a Bianco pizza (garlic butter, pulled pork, mushrooms and rosemary) which was genuinely delicious. Creamy and packed with flavour, with a crispy thin base, and cooked to perfection. To the point where I wish I'd had the same. Honestly one of the best pizzas I've tried for a long time. My beef ragu was very nice, beef shin and pork ragu making the difference between it and a spag bol. Big chunks of meat, spaghetti with the right amount of bite and bounce, and seasoned to perfection. Asa's penne pomodoro was very well received - he essentially inhaled it. Which is about as good as you can expect from a bebe. Dessert was 2x affogato's, which I haven't had for a while. The gelato was gorge - creamy af, and the espresso was lovely but would have preferred it hot. Drinks-wise, Em had her standard prosecco, I had a next level G&T- Malfy Rosa with pink grapefruit. Apparently it's a Sicilian pink grapefruit gin with a hint of rhubarb. I've already got a bottle on order. The overall experience at Mama J's was of sheer joy and blissful happiness. Get here. Now.

Not bad but I do expect more when having beer in the UK. Only real complaint is the servers. Wish they would check on us in between bringing the food and bringing the bill.

I would go back but will do our complete order including refills, dessert and request for coffee all at once

This Sam's offers a combination of fish, meat, salads and pizza. The fish is the thing to get at Sam's, it will be local and good. But, I'm vegetarian so the pizza is great for me, the anti pasta is also great and there's a good choice of local beers and other nibbles. The service is good, very friendly and laid back, rocking up covered in sand and wearing flip flops is absolutely fine. So my pre Sam's tip is to go for a nice long walk and a swim along the coast, there's lots of gorgeous coves along the coast towards fowey.

It is a lovely Italian restaurant located on the 1st floor in the heart of St Ives town Centre. We have never been disappointed by the meals here - It is not overpriced and it is good quality freshly cooked food with are really good menu choice. The last time we visited Peppers we took our young children and were a little worried that it would not be very family friendly but we were made very welcome by the staff. We all had pizzas which were really delicious the puddings were yummy too. As you can imagine, Peppers gets very busy - especially during the holiday season so my advice would be to book in advance as you may struggle to get a table.

Pizza, cider, pies, what's not to love…read more We were looking for a place to eat in Falmouth and stumbled upon The Stable. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were nothing short of perfect, from the welcome when we arrived, to the bar person who cheerfully plied us with many cider samples, to the wait staff who were friendly and efficient. We had no idea what ciders we liked so the girl behind the bar let us try all the different types (sparkling, still, dry, medium, sweet, etc.) They were all great and we were happy with our choices. We got the lamb pizza, and the salmon and mackerel salad. The pizza was super thin crust, perfectly cooked, very tasty. The salad did not skimp on the smoked fish and was also very tasty. The outside seating has a car park between it and the sea so is not quite perfect, but still extremely pleasant. I think another great seating option would be upstairs (street level) by the window. Overall very happy and would definitely return.

We only ever paid for the buffet at lunch time, finding the pizza's hugely overpriced the rest of the time, but in this particular one we found the pizzas did not come out that quick when they had run out on the servery and if it was quiet they didn't even bother putting out much of a choice. The staff were always friendly and the service good, but the overall opinion was not great on this one.

We went in here because nothing else was open by the time we began looking for a place to eat. After twenty minutes of waiting ("we'll seat you in two minutes") we were finally seated at a table that had been empty the whole time we stood there. After my first round of the carvery I realized most food was not really edible, with the exception of a few side dishes, so I went back for more creamed vegetables and some Yorkshire pudding. Shortly after that the live music picked up again, so we got out of here as fast as we could, still feeling kind of hungry. Avoid!

In general, folks want to think that there truly is some kind of absolute scale for rating…read moreanything. A scale that is somehow completely independent of my mood, my expectations, what just happened 5 minutes ago, what's going to happen 1 hour from now, etc. All of that and more ultimately influences my perception of the experience as it relates to any particular scale. Let's take Claire's review for example. Note that right out of the box she says that "nothing else was open". What this means immediately is that whatever scale she had been originally thinking about using (the one you would use when all 1000 restaurants were open in a highly popular seaside vacation destination village for an entire country) should immediately be replaced with the scale appropriate for the situation. I mean, seriously, what kind of restaurants do you expect to be open at 3 in the morning, anywhere? So, my Mom and I had similarly arrived at the Lugger fairly late. As we walked by the restaurant on our way to the room, I quickly noted it was a super 'homey' kind of place, quaint, cute, but not drippingly so. It just totally exuded 'good ol fashioned down home cookin'. Like the kind you grew up with as kid (we all have those stories of that favorite meal or dish that to this day we can taste as if we're eating it right now: our go to comfort food). Yeah, sure, Mom or Dad was no Chef Pierre, but at that moment, it totally defined awesome. My initial impression was completely spot on. Of the 5 meats to choose from, I had lamb, pork roast, and turkey breast. Completely basic, just bake in the oven and serve. Given the properly selected scale now of 'good ol fashioned down home cookin', they were all very good, with the lamb edging out the pork and turkey. While I would agree that the meat all by itself was a just a skoch dry (was probably not so at 4pm, but by 8:30 pm after sitting under heat lamps for 4.5 hours, yeah, a bit more dried out), what Claire failed to mention was the neat little trick that Mom always used: GRAVY! Omg, flashback inducing. Just a quick swish before the bite, and, voilla, succulence to the max. But, using the same scale, if the meats were very good, the veggies were excellent. The creamed cabbage, cheesy cauliflower and sautéed leeks were outstanding (who's ever seen sautéed leeks at a carvery?). The best for sure though was combining the leeks with the gooey mashed potatoes. Now that rivaled other potato-leek things I've had from many a high end cookbook. And of course, accompany the whole business with two pints of Guinness (this IS England, for gods sake). We didn't have live music blaring, we had radio pop, just like what Mom was probably playing relative to her 1965. Claire, you made a choice, so stfu about the music. So, yeah, if you're looking for total English down homey, show up at 1st opening for 5 stars. If you're looking for London upscale with spices you've never heard of, don't go.
