The Old Quay House

Overall not an awful dining experience. Everything was cooked fine however the food, atmosphere and decoration is more fitting to a certain older clientele, we’re only in our late 20’s but felt very out of place and uncomfortable. My partners burger was fine, cooked well just really lacking in flavour. My chilli was again fine but oily, missing the sour cream and for £18.95 you’d expect a bigger portion and more than 3 tortilla chips. We were seated, finished eating and had paid the bill within 45mins.

Had a wonderful dinner at the Old Quay House at the end of our annual Cornish holiday! Great service, very friendly and welcoming and the food just well-cooked and plentiful! We’ll definitely book again next time we’re in the area. A little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow :)

Beautiful location, can't fault it. But we visited for a Sunday carvery. We ordered a small adults priced at 15.25. We were served our meat and Yorkshire pudding. We were also served the vegetables too which a young lad was serving them. I think he needs a lesson on portion size. Because he only gave us literally half a spoonful of peas and carrots and cauliflower cheese. We understand the meat being served to us but vegetables are not expensive, we would have at least expected a spoonful of each. This seems very stingy and tight. Sorry to moan about this but everyone expects value for money.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious and the beds are so comfortable. The outside area is lovely which was perfect for the sunny weather. The facilities are also perfect. A short walk to Birdies Bistro for breakfast and the food and atmosphere is so lovely there as well. The staff are friendly in both places which made the experience so worth while. Definitely will be going there again in the near future.

We hired the upstairs for a wake. Amazing service, all the staff were brilliant and the food was great. Amazing place to hold events. They really can cater for anything. We had a Cornish buffet and it was brilliant, the mini homemade sausage rolls were especially good. Thank you old quay.

Amazing room with gorgeous views, the old quay house is a friendly welcoming place to stay with great attention to detail in the property to make it a great experience for their guests. Food was delicious, good options on drinks, nothing was too much trouble. The old quay house also offered privacy if needed and a central location to visit other Cornish attractions, close to St Ives, Carbis bay and Lands end. Couldn’t find any faults with our trip. Excellent views across the estuary especially at high tide with the option to view the local wildlife. We were sad to have to return home and will visit again.

We recently stayed in the location of the Old Quay House . We drove past this Venue and as it looked so nice from outside and the location we decided to book a table the same night . We booked through the open table app a table for 4 at 7.45 as we could not get a 8pm slot . On arrival we walked o to the venue to find a nice clean and same toy decorated bat and restaurant . We noticed a lot of tables had reserved on them so we thought the place was going to get busy as there was only 3 tables with diners on a table of 8 ,table of 2 and a single diner . We ordered our drinks and informed the bar staff we had a table of 4 booked for 7.45pm which they asked for my confirmation email as they could not find it but then they did and said it was for only 2 despite the confirmation actually saying 4 . The manager / waiter said it would not be a problem and showed us to our table . Every table in our area had reserved on it . The waiter passed our menus and rattled off 4 not available dishes out of a roughly possible 18 dishes . We ordered our dishes but our young daughter could not see anything she liked as at present she’s going through a heathy eating stage and does not like the nice tasty greasy foods . We all ordered and she decided she was ok and did not order anything . The waiter asked her a few times and she politely declined and he said if she changed her mind they could quickly prepare her something so it came shortly after ours|. We all received our meals which were all ok and my daughter decided she would have some of the chunky chips as they did not look greasy . I went to order some chunky fries at 7.55pm and the staff came back out of the kitchen saying the chef at turned off the fryer . Surely the oil was still hot as they had only just brought our meal out and if they turned on the fryers surely it would not take long to get up to temperature . We heard the chef swearing to the staff so it seems he was not happy having a late order . Soon after he came out of kitchen into bar when we could hear him say he lived to live not live to work . The meals we ok but a bit pricey as all of our meals were the type he would have source from the likes of Bidfood and brakes where you just heat them up.This was food the chef did not need to be very experienced to do as I am a supplier to the catering trades so are well aware or this type of quick food .|If the chef was to provide a better menu with more freshly prepared and cooked food this place I am sure would be a very busy place or if he’s not willing to do this they need to employ a new chef with a bit more passion. |This place as hot the potential to be really great . I never write reviews but I had to share this very honest review as I was very disappointed with it . This place on a Saturday night should be heaving .

Went there for a Sunday Carvery. Food was nice although they served you your vegetables which were portion controlled - a bit like being served a school dinner with portions that would suit a child. Expensive considering the portion!!

The ground floor dining area looks nice and classy, cosy with low lighting. Ah, okay, we thought. But then despite there being plenty of open tables, and nearing closing time, we were inexplicably seated upstairs, and I honestly had a hard time believing they actually saw this as a legit place to feed people. Though it wasn't dirty (after all, they are getting two stars instead of one), it had bright fluorescent lighting, plain white walls, and gave a cafeteria feel. Not pleasant. We ordered at the bar and waited nearly an hour for the food (they warned us of this, but I was still confused as there weren't many people there). The food could have made up for it, but it didn't. My vegetarian dish automatically came with a terrible iceberg salad that I could only make myself eat about two bites of, and the small goat cheese pastry was really boring (even though I adore goat cheese). I was still hungry after that so I ordered their Easter special ice cream dessert. The only pleasant thing about the whole meal was the cute little chick that came on top of the ice cream. I adore ice cream, but it was really mediocre and came with no toppings except canned whipped cream... just plain chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, and a wafer. Not what I expected from a special Easter "sundae"! Oy. This was by far our least favourite meal in Cornwall.

I'm not sure where the quay is (you would have thought there would be one nearby). The quay house though is a friendly pub with 1 inoffensive TV. The food looked good but me here for beer. Tribute and doom bar were on, Betty was on her break.

I wasn't overly impressed with this bar for food. Upon entering the bar downstairs it looked quite nice but we were seated upstairs which was a bland room which looked like a room above a garage with an odd shade of lighting. It did not have a good atmosphere upstairs. Unsure as to why we were seated upstairs because there seemed to be free tables downstairs. Had to order food at the bar. Was a very long wait on food being served. When the food did arrive it was ok, not great but not horrible. I had ordered sirloin steak and it was cooked as ordered, it is what you would expect from a bar that wasn't a specialist steak restaurant. It was reasonably priced. But I would have no desire to go back and wouldn't recommend it.

Had a lovely meal food pipping hot and lots of it as well staff nice and very welcoming back ground music was in the back ground as well so you can talk and not worry about the music grounding you out 10/10 form me will eat there again as well and the prices are good as well

We stayed here within one of their bed and breakfast lodges and it was absolutely amazing. Fantastic view, well appointed room and scrumptious breakfast. We also decided to dine in the pub for dinner and it was equally as good. The steak and ale pie was lovely and my wife said the fish and chips was very nice. Very friendly, helpful staff, couldn't ask for any better.
