Had the most lovely time in the Old Pilchard press cafe. I went with my two young boys and Harriett was super friendly and helpful. We had her deliciously freshly chocolate cake. There were toys, story books and drawing books and pads to entertain the kids. Highly recommend!

We visited here in July 2020 and we cannot recommend this lovely cafe enough. It is a beautiful, intimate, traditional tea room and I can honestly say that the Traditional Cream Tea that we had was the best we have ever had. Everything was home made, the scones were warm and we even had china cups and saucers to drink the lovely tea from. The selection of cakes was fantastic, and the ambiance in the family run cafe was relaxed and welcoming. Would 100% return if we are in Cornwall again.

Excellent food - the smoked mackerel pate is absolutely amazing. And the chocolate cake is like nothing else you've ever tasted. The owner really know his stuff as well - he predicted the rain to within a minute, which saved us a soaking by getting to the car on time!!! Definitely worth a visit if you're holidaying in Cornwall.

Incredible cosy café and amazing find in the village!
We were really grateful to find somewhere to have an amazing coffee and that accommodated for a few vegan options too! This can be quite hard to find in some places in Cornwall so it really meant a lot to us!
The staff are friendly, the lady who runs it is very warm and friendly and this place was a real pleasure.
They serve breakfast, sandwiches, cake and excellent hot drinks. The place was full of character and so close to the harbour too.

Visited the Pilchard Press Cafe twice so far during our weeks stay. We've enjoyed tea & cake (the Victoria sponge is beautiful) and lunch and both were fabulous. We received a warm welcome, ate delicious food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, topped off with excellent customer service. Fantastic all round!
