"We started with two cocktails: Frozen Watermelons and Better Than Blue Lagoon. Both were visually appealing and colorful, but the flavors were somewhat mild and a bit too sweet for our liking. We also had some bread with mackerel pâté, which had a strong flavor that we enjoyed, though it might not appeal to everyone. For our main courses, we ordered the seafood platter and steak with fries. The seafood platter included mussels, clams, shrimp, lobster legs, and scallops. Considering the price, we expected a larger portion, and while the seafood was fresh, we’ve certainly had tastier options elsewhere. The steak was decent—not a prime cut—but the flavor was acceptable. The fries were enjoyable, though. We paired our meal with a nice cold bottle of white wine, which was crisp and refreshing. The restaurant boasts lovely views of the sunshine streaming in; while it's not directly on the beach, the scenery is pleasant. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the seating was a bit uncomfortable after a while due to the hard chairs and benches. On the upside, it's dog-friendly. In the end, we spent around £120, which felt a bit steep for what we received. The food was quite average at best, making for a satisfactory dinner but nothing more. While we were glad we tried it once, we chose not to return on subsequent nights. Ultimately, it seemed to present a more upscale image than it truly delivered, especially in terms of food quality."

Last night, The Unicorn on the Beach hosted a fantastic Halloween disco featuring an incredibly talented DJ. The decorations were outstanding, and the staff, dressed in impressive costumes, worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a memorable evening.

What a fabulous pub. Used as my peaceful, friendly, evening retreat after spending all day running around with family, this beautiful place has stunning views and excellent staff. Special thanks to Harry, Ruben and Josh who instinctively knew when to engage in conversation at the bar and when to leave me alone to relax. I was in Porthtowan for five nights and in the Unicorn for five nights. Thank you for being just what I needed! Walkability: Easy walking distance to my beach house Food drinks: Great selection

"After reading reviews online we thought would try here for lunch. There we 6 of us. First impressions were this looks nice, but then we were greeted by our waitress who seemed to be in a world of her own. Was slow, not very attentive and seemed quiet nervous. We ordered our food, my chef husband who has worked in many fine dining establishments from St mortiz to fowey Hall, ordered a steak, was asked how he would like it cooked he said as its a sirloin I'd like it rare. You would think that's a normal request would u not. Our food came out, and his steak was overcooked, came out medium well. He got hold of the waitress and sent it back asked for another. She then came back and said that's how they serve it, that is pink. We got told that it comes out pink or well done, due to the cut of the steak. Never in his 22 years in the industry has he ever heard that. Especially when they think medium well is pink. So he decided to go for a burger, which took 20 mins to come out. They weren't busy. By the time it had arrived, we had all finished, kids got extremely restless. The burger was a double which it didn't state on the menu. He ate it as was starving. When it came to paying the bill, he said he will happily pay for everyone else's and drinks but wanted his meal taken off as its not what he wanted and we came out for a family meal. Not for one person to be left to watch everyone else it. The lady I presume is the manager came out and was rude and unhelpful. Told him you ate it so your paying for it, it's that simple. No apology for the steak again got told its the way they serve that cut of meat. That there was nothing wrong with the steak it was pink. Told him to calm down, I said that we will be leaving a review. She said that as a chef he should know better than to leave a bad review. Its a shame as everyone else really enjoyed their food."
