    An excellent Sunday roast. And a very warm welcome. Shame they are closed for the rest of our stay in St Ives.

    If you are a person that seeks attention to detail then this is the place for you. The decor is exceptional with food and service to match. Sunday lunch was a joy and the roast potatoes the best anywhere in St Ives if not on the planet!

    Truly a gem in the middle of St Ives! You can’t go wrong with their pizzas or roast dinners! Everybody that works there particularly Rassie is so welcoming and kind, also the cocktails are to die for…
