The Bean Inn

Every time we've eaten here we've had a superb meal. The flavours that go into the beautifully designed dishes are wonderful and nearly every dish on the menu is vegan or has the option of being served as a vegan version. A friendly team and a lovely setting make this a consistent favourite of ours for a memorable meal out. If you haven’t been in to the Bean Inn for lunch or dinner yet, you need to change that!

This was my second or third visit to The Bean Inn. I love this restaurant and always do my best to visit when I'm in Cornwall. It is not always easy to find a vegan/vegetarian restaurant and for those of us who have intolerances/allergies, it's wonderful to find a restaurant that takes dietary restrictions seriously. The food is always excellent-it's fresh and healthy. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Cornwall. Thank you:).

Loved it! Small personal and friendly with lovely fresh ingredients! Best to book early (days in advance) as fills up fast! Pictured are three of the main courses on menu for mid July 2022 Mushroom bouginuon, pasta with fresh pesto, pea curry with stuffed potato cakes. All lovely. ❤️

Highly recommended. Excellent responses to online enquiries. We travelled from Padstow to visit the Bean Inn and were not disappointed. We each had three courses and were not disappointed. Very flavourful dishes and the staff were all very friendly. Just wish there were more restaurants like this. We will be back!

Nearly passed this up for a chippy.... but can now say that we have bean inn.... The Bean Inn...yeah that's a terrible joke! ANYWAY! It brings me no pleasure to confess that I am in fact a wolf in sheep's clothing in that I do unfortunately eat...meat... Buuut but but! This place was absolutely AMAZING! There wasn't a single thing we didn't love! Even I as the blasted carnivore! In fact, I wouldn't have even known (had you not told me) that the butter, the cream, the ice cream, or the mud cake was vegan! I had trouble booking over the phone initially because signal in my area is naff, but they promptly managed to text me the information so I remained in the know that it was confirmed! The atmosphere was absolutely spot on! We were in a quieter room but even the other room felt warm and cosy and everyone was so friendly. The playlist was banger after banger and yet entirely appropriate for the mellow and relaxed mood, and the art on the walls was also fantastic! The tables were lovely too - sounds silly but it was like the restaurant really knew what it was and what colours really worked! Earthy, red napkins and really warm! All we drank was their amazing Morwenna Sunset drink... and the food, OH THE FOOD! This is a restaurant that absolutely knows its craft and knows it so well that you can't be disappointed with anything you order! We had a starter, main and dessert each and only regret being too full for more. The waitresses were also fantastic. So lovely, polite and warm. It was like being at a cosy relative's house and not leaving without a full belly and a big smile! This restaurant deserves its own chain with places popping up on every corner! But then that would cause it to lose its charm, and there is no charm from a food place like it! I can't praise this place enough! Please go even if you're a carnivore! You'll never regret it! Power to the greens! <3

We had the best night ever on Tuesday. The staff were amazing and the food was superb. My husband and family and friends had a great night. Thank you so much. We'll definitely be back. Xx

Lovely cosy restaurant. Would definitely recommend a visit. We were made really welcome and even though we arrived early, we were not rushed, everything was timed perfectly. The food was really well presented and delicious. The waiter that served us was very friendly and professional.

Finding a dedicated vegetarian/vegan place is always nice, however it’s a shame the experience wasn’t up to scratch. While the starters were rather enjoyable the mains and dessert unfortunately let the side down. The mud pie was excruciatingly rich, with each bite needing to be balanced by an excess of ice cream. Added to this, the bill was genuinely a shock, especially when compared to some of the eateries within St. Ives. Worth noting that the music played didn’t suit the mellow atmosphere. On a positive note, the food was served piping hot and well presented, and the waiting staff was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. Would have tipped if not for the bill. Was nice for a visit, but we are unlikely to return again.
