It is an iconic building at the end of Porthminster beach, and the picture below was the view from our table!!
It is a little misleading as it was absolutely freezing outside.....
The best of the starters was a Soft Top Pork Pie - served warm, in a glass - it was probably the best looking dish of the day, and as far away from Melton Mowbray as you can get! Pulled pork, lentils, artichoke and sour dough.
The fish and chips - which had been recommended - were quite simply some of the best I have ver tasted. when you taste fish as good as that it does make you wonder what every one else has been doing wrong - really outstanding.
I did not have too much room for dessert - so opted for the petits fours - and this is what arrived!
In short a really great restaurant. if you are going to St Ives - book in advance - ask for a table inside by the windows.
There is an annex with vinyl sides and roof - on the day we were there people were wearing coats etc whilst eating - and being provided with blankets - I can't help but feel it would have taken the edge off!! - but then it would be beautiful if summer ever arrives!
