"We came here on a whim after failing to get into the pub down the road and we were not disappointed. My friend was hobbling a bit on a pair of crutches and a wheelchair and when I explained this, they were so accommodating to put us up in the lower bar and make sure we were comfortable. The menu was a bit limited for a veggie there was just one option for my friend and I, as a pescatarian, was much better catered for. However, the staff were, again, really accommodating to her request and they made sure she had something she wanted to eat. The men had the pork burgers, which disappeared quite quickly, whilst I had the hake. It was DE LICIOUS! Absolutely fab. My only gripe was they didn’t do a side of mixed veg I had to plump for the garlic courgettes, which were tasty. Most of us couldn’t manage a pudding, but one decided on the crème brûlée. He said it was the best he’d ever had! We were delighted we made the choice to eat here. The toilets were a little tricky for the one on crutches, but with determination, she managed. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. We may pop back again before we leave Port Isaac."

Well prepared, tasty food, in an old school converted to a nice hotel, and is really nicely decorated to reflect its history. The service was friendly and efficient.

Very good mussels and hake dinners. Good wine list. No view from the dining room, even though the building is right on the water. Limited cocktails at the bar. Nice ambience in historical building. Very good service.

We arrived in Port Isaac on Saturday, May 27, 2023, around 3:30 PM. We had driven from Avebury that morning and encountered heavy traffic along the way. Unaware that it was a major holiday weekend, we arrived feeling very tired but still eager to... Voir le carte

Our second and third time here this week, the first was a couple of years ago. RGreat restaurant….good food, try The Hake, very tasty, good ambiance, good service and a great taste in music that played in the background. Why pay £100’s at a Michelin star eatery when you could have a great evening at the old school house!!

We have been to this restaurant multiple times and, as always, both the service and food were fantastic. While it may not be the most upscale or fancy dining spot, the food is of top-notch quality, homemade, and served with attention to detail. The bar is cozy with a variety of drinks and coffee options. The dining area is charming and makes for a pleasant evening out. The menu offers a good selection to suit different tastes. We also had breakfast with friends here, which was delightful and reasonably priced. Voir le carte

Firstly the hotel. It certainly wasn't cheap, but I had a good night's rest, and it is a very nice place to stay, with comfy room, very nicely repurposed from its school, and in a good location. I had to rush breakfast based on how late it opened, so definitely didn't get the best of that. In terms of the restaurant, the food was delicious. I had the crab tacos to start, which sounded unusual but were stunningly good. The Goan fish curry was equally good, and disappeared in a flash. Service was very friendly, and overall highly recommended.

We had a fantastic experience at The Old School House. We made a reservation for dinner on a quiet Sunday night and were welcomed warmly, feeling very comfortable. The hake dish was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly with a wonderful blend of flavors. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second visit on Tuesday, even though the restaurant was quite busy. We also stopped by for cocktails a few times and found them to be both affordable and tasty. The atmosphere was more relaxed and cozy compared to other options in the village, though we appreciated those as well. On our last morning, we visited for breakfast after discovering our original choice was no longer serving due to the e...

"As long standing visitors to Cornwall, we never fail to stop at Pilchards for lunch or dinner. Even if we are not staying in the area, we always make a detour to enjoy their wonderful food and ambiance. Well what a shock we got on our visit earlier this week! It was 12.30pm and at first we thought it was closed, then we noticed another couple having a coffee. Admittedly, the weather wasn’t the best, but in previous years there could have been a force9 gale and you’d still struggle to find a table during the day or night if you’d not made a reservation. We sat outside to take in the beautiful view even in the grey skies it looks amazing. A very uninspired waitress came over and gave us the menus, didn’t say much and just put them on the table. Menu was different from last time we came but nonetheless we were still looking forward to a treat. There wasn’t a huge choice, again that was fine. We ordered three small plates squid, a chickpea onion bahji, a prawn and mussel Thai green curry and a portion of fries. Drinks were a bottle of water and pint of Korev. Food arrived and plates were tiny (saucer size, not even side plates). Fries were in a small bowl a bit like a cup. Good job we weren’t too hungry! My husband had the squid and said it was ok albeit a bit over cooked and chewy. Bahji was not warmed through fully and mushy in the middle undercooked. Thai prawn and mussel curry was inedible! It resembled a bright green oil slick with two prawns on the top and few tiny mussels mixed in. There was no Thai inspired taste. It had a real bitter taste like green vegetables blended up into a thick smoothie and drizzled with oil. I picked out the prawns and mussels but the sauce was luke warm and inedible. I mentioned this to the waitress when she collected the plates. Not because we wanted it taking off the bill (which it wasn’t), but to give the chef some genuine feedback. If I were a chef and it came back virtually untouched, I’d want to know why! She mumbled something about sorry you didn’t like it and walked off. The bill was £60 for what was less than £10 worth of food if you were to make it. Now, I know that isn’t how to look at it and I wouldn’t have done if the service and ambiance had been top notch and I didn’t have the knowledge of how fantastic it used to be! I asked if it had changed hands and was told it was still owned by the Port Gaverne Hotel. We were shocked, because for it to become so bad, they must have worked really hard at bringing it down! After we left I checked Trip Advisor and saw some mixed reviews of late. This says it all really as some of them were long standing customers like myself and were cancelling future reservations. I imagine if they don’t do something quickly to revert back, it won’t be long before it loses its excellent reputation, if it hasn’t done so already. It needs a new menu don’t try to be a Michelin Star restaurant there’s one in Port Isaac already! Plus that would need an experienced chef which Pilchards doesn’t appear to have. Just go back to serving fantastic fresh food and freshly caught fish. Not precooked or frozen. It needs to review its extortionate prices or produce quality food to reflect them. Finally, employ staff who look like they want to be there and ready to engage with the customers!"
