AMAZING! We celebrated our wedding at Schooners last wk and we cant put into words what an amazing time we had. The venue was priceless, the food absolutely excellent, but most importantly were Ben, Jess, Hayley & Mark. Every single one of them worked so hard to make sure we had a fab day. Noting AT ALL was too much trouble. You will never find a more memorable venue or more helpful people. They created a very special event for us. Thank you so so much all. X

I took my sister and her new fiance (and their 2 children) to the Miners Arms to celebrate their engagement. It was mothers day and the pub was very busy. But customer service was still excellent. We had a fantastic meal, the staff were friendly, the fire was cosy, the food was excellent. Great choice of beers too! Thank you for making a special celebration more special

Food excellent and well priced. Made welcome. The only disappointment was the tapwater we requested which was, well, tapwater: warm, no ice, no lemon. But we'd go back.

Having returned to Glasgow after our first ever holiday in Cornwall I simply had to write and rave about 'Schooners'. We fell in love with Cornwall and all it's beauty, sense of good taste and wonders, and happened upon 'Schooners' whilst tootling around the coast. A stunning setting, amiable, smiley and lovely hosts and staff and the best fish and chips I've ever had ! It was all so perfectly cooked and the crushed garden peas with mint were refreshing and tasty as can be. Thank you so much for a wonderful and unforgettable lunch experience on our holiday :-)

I had the chance to visit Sally's a week or two ago on recommendation from the B&B I was staying at.
It was excellent. The fish of the day choices were good and the cheese board were particularly good. The atmosphere was friendly and service good. Presentation of food especially inviting.

Went onto the bid4it website and won a £25.00 off voucher for a meal for 2 at sally's. Went with my husband hoping for a quiet meal and that is was we got. We were a little late for our booking but there was no one else there so didn't matter. Sally met us at the door and she was very polite and wasn't bothered about us being late. We were seated by the window and for a while were the only ones there. Sally got us out drinks while we looked at the menu, she advised us of the specials and then left us for awhile to read the menu. Once we ordered we were served with fresh hot bread. The starters came out quite quickly and were nice and hot and served in pre warmed bowls. The main course was also nice and freshly cooked and again the plate had pre warmed. The desert was very nice and a good size portion. Overall it was a very nice meal the only thing i would say is we could done with more veg however i think if we had thought to ask they would probably have given us more. Would recommend to people although i would only go back if i have another voucher or there were special offers on. It is a little more expensive than a meadery or pub meal but the food is excellent and all fresh. Overall a fantastic evening!!

We have been to Sally's for a couple of years now. We are always given a friendly warm welcome when we go, it helps to make our holiday special. We always enjoy particularly the local fish that Sally produces. All the courses are served looking beautiful on the plate. Portion sizes are just right so that you have just enough room for the delicious desserts.
I would certainly recommend it to anyone but make sure you book a table as it is very popular, especially with local people, which is always a sign of a good restaurant.
We look forward to going again next year.

We chose Sally's for a birthday celebration, and we were certainly not disappointed. The ambience was perfect and the welcome warm. Sally's was fully booked which was no surprise when we tasted the food. My husbands steak was cooked to perfection whilst my fish main course was also a delight. The desert menu catered for every taste, we eventually settled for the strawberry sundae. Overall a relaxing venue, a tasty menu and very reasonable prices, definitely one to try.

I returned to Schooners this weekend as I do on each of my visits to the area.
The location is fantastic with perfect views of the beach. The staff as ever were charming, friendly and welcoming. I had the seafood chowder and my sister enjoyed the tomato and basil soup. It was a wet windy day but the food and the excellent atmosphere warmed us up and was a real highlight of the weekend.
I would recommend that if you are ever in the area Schooners is a perfect setting to enjoy a meal or drinks and take in the charm of St Agnes.

Eating out at Schooners was one of the highlights of our trip to Cornwall. The setting is fabulous. A short walk on the beach before dinner, and some lovely family photos taken, set the scene. Delightful, welcoming staff. A pleasurable pre-dinner drink in the bar, looking out over the cove as the tide came in. Dinner itself - a wonderful meal. In particular a beautiful fish main course- well cooked and served. The food matched the fantastic environment. So.....do visit Schooners - you'll love it. (I'm not on commission).

Came across this Restaurant by accident sat on the decking out side reading a book with the sound of the Atlantic waves crashing onto the beach, beautiful. Went back next night had some Tapas and watch the sun go down from the bar with some great chill out music,tapas fantastic especially the fish. Yes we went back the next night and had a meal in Restaurant on 1st floor watching the sun go down ,watching the waves and dogs playing on the beach. Made the big mistake of ordering a starter which was fantastic but didn't know how big the main meal was had to leave some which was sad as the food ( assorted fish and pasta ) was outstanding but my wife meal was unbelievable she had special fish dish which had 4 crab claw's and they were huge plus assortment of various fish which she could not finish. The staff are very professional, friendly and relaxed attitude .Do I recommend this place your damm right I do , Location great ,staff fantastic and food outstanding you be a fool not to visit !!!!!!!!

Had researched the Perranporth area before our stay and found good reviews about Sally's. The bistro is lovely. Very friendly staff and the food is wonderful. The risotto starter was perfect. My husband tried the chicken with chilli sauce for main and I had the duck breast - both were excellent. I couldn't fit a dessert in but my husband had the creme brulee - I was lucky he let me try some! I think it was the best creme brulee I have ever tasted. We will definitely be going back to the St Agnes area....and to Sally's!

Wow, what a delight. We stumbled upon Schooners by accident, but what a great discovery. The setting is to die for. Crashing Atlantic waves set the scene for a memorable evening. The staff are delightful, food memorable and the experience first class. Few restaurants can cater for the casually dressed and those who wish to make the effort and make both feel at home. Book for dinner or stroll up for lunch,a snack or a cheeky livener. You'll love it. If not, you are souless or hard to please.

We did a two-weeks journey around Southwest England. Every evenning we went out for dinner and now after returning back we have made a decision.
The Driftwood Spars was the best on our trip. The service is attentive, unobtrusive and helpful. The food is really fresh and deliciously cooked. The price is reasonable for the quality. The quantity of the portion could be better for hungry guests.
We´ll come back.

Absolutely wonderful, a little gem of a restaurant. The steak was the best we had on our holiday, the duck cooked to perfection, the puddings are irresistable. The atmosphere was very good and although busy, I never felt rushed or pressured. Although they don't have a children's menu, as the meals are prepared fresh to order dishes can be adapted to suit, which is a great improvement on the junk normally available for kids.
Thank you for a lovely meal.

For excellent food at a reasonable price together with prompt and friendly service.. try Sally's bistro/restaurant in St Agnes. We 'happened upon' Sally's after a day in St Ives and enjoyed an excellent meal. I had a fish special - Brill; and my husband and neice both had chicken with a chilli sauce. All three meals were cooked perfectly, retaining their succulence. We enjoyed a number of good meals on our holiday this year, but the meal at Sally's was definitely the best!

We have just spent a lovely two weeks in St Agnes. Last week we rang Sally's to book a table and although she was very busy (it was a Thursday evening!), she found us a space for me and my husband. The little restaurant which is really the downstairs of a house was lovely. The food was spot on and the Creme Brulee pudding was to die for. I did not see any food left on any plates when they were taken back to the kitchen! We are heading back to St Agnes next year and we will definately be heading to Sallys!

25th May, we came across Sally's by happy coincidence, staying at the B+B next door. Although busy they managed to squeeze us in for dinner. The Bistro is beautifully presented, clean, tidy and in no way pretentious. The staff were smiling and very helpful and, drinks ordered, we perused the menu. A great mix of meat, fish and vegetarian, all seasonal and much of it local. I had a fantastic mackerel starter that was cooked to perfection, as were the wife and daughters crepes. My main was a ray wing served on the bone again cooked perfectly, my wife's Hake and my daughters massive bowl of mussels equally so!
The wine choice roved all over the world, but lacked a choice from closer to home but was all reasonably priced. After the first two courses we hoped the desserts would live up to expectation and we were not disappointed. Thoroughly satisfied we had the shortest walk back to our B+B at the Yellow House for a well deserved lie down! We will certainly be back and in the meantime heartily recommend Sally's to anyone who can get to St. Agnes! See you soon :o)

Whilst on our 1st wedding anniversary break, we drove a few miles from home and settled into St Agnes for a few days. Opposite our B&B was Sally's. We had been advised that there were excellent vegetarian options and fish specials. We passed by the first night, and while we and another couple stopped to look at the menu outside. Sally came out and breezily said "we have some fish specials as well" and handed over a list. As the restaurant was already quite busy and we just wanted a snack before bedtime, we moved on... the next evening we were back, the choice of specials was about the same length as the standard menu - all based on whatever had been caught locally. The atmosphere was jolly, and the staff were clearly enjoying being there and welcomed us warmly. When our generously portioned starters came, we knew we had come to the right place. With some excellent organic local beers they went down a treat. As if by magic, the mains arrived promptly, just the right amount of time to have a quick sip and comment about how lovely the place was. There was no doubt the chef knew what he was doing. The fish (Hake) was fantastic - perhaps the best I've known (and I nearly always have the fish and only if its local and fresh), the stuffed Field Mushroom was absolutely delicious and deceptively filling, with a rare array of flavours.
Between us, there was enough room for just one desert, again, a generous portion and two forks saw that nothing was left. After all the other customers had left, and a couple of coffees, we had time for a chat with Sally. She is genuinely friendly and cares about what she does and therefore does it very well indeed. We met the chef too, a quiet and unassuming chap who takes pride in his work. We would recommend this petite restaurant to our friends and visitors alike, what's more, we will certainly be booking a table again. Top of the class!

Sally's food is always good. The menu is simple, but with an interesting combination of flavours - with the emphasis on local produce - some very good fish dishes, which change frequently. The crepe with asaragus is delicious and so are the mussels! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly - under Sally's personal supervision. Go there once and you will return again - as many of Sally's customers do.

I had a great meal in this restaurant although hadn't eaten there since it had changed hands.
The view from the restaurant is fantastic, looking across the bay.
Good menu with plenty of dishes and very generous portions - I shared the starter and the cheeseboard with my partner and we were full up at the time of leaving!
I had the olives & bread, local mussels in white wine with shallots accompanied by fries & bread (the waiting staff were slightly unsure of the menu themselves) and the cheeseboard with local cheeses.
My partner had the rib eye steak with roasted tomatoes - unfortunately he is allergic to mushrooms and doesn't like blue cheese and so the accompanying field mushroom and blue cheese sauce were not for him. The waitress did say that she would request some extra tomatoes.
However, upon looking around at other diners who were having the same meal, the portion sizes appeared to be more generous as the evening went on.
The mussels were missing a spare bowl for the shells and a fingerbowl, other tables did appear to get these along with iced/lime water. The service was good and polite but not consistent when it came to the product.
The food was good value for money and the restaurant much more enjoyable once the very large party with numerous very young children had left.
Would recommend it and maybe would revisit.

I have just arrived back from 10 glorious days in Cornwall where I came across Sally's by chance whilst looking for another restaurant in St Agnes.
Having looked at the menu and asking a local couple for any recommendations that they may have, Sally persuaded me in with her specials menu - the roast belly pork with seasonal vegetables caught my eye! My partner also had his eye on this dish but fortunately for me, unfortunately for him - there was only one left as Sally's promote local produce and when its gone, its gone.
My second choice (and his) was the free range chicken in a picante bacon & tomato sauce with seasonal vegetables.
The restaurant itself was small and personal, the owner made us very welcome and the staff gave very good service which was polite and very friendly. It was a very popular place to eat with most of the tables already full when we arrived.
The food was excellent - very good quality and well cooked. Great to see people sourcing fresh local produce, wish more restaurants would.
Very good value for money and a creme brulee worth going back for a second time in our ten day stay!
Would definately go back on our next visit.
Great choice of dishes including some fab looking vegetarian dishes that were not the usual standard choice!
Very good value for money and on the list to revisit on our next trip!

We booked our table by the window at a time that allowed us to watch the sunset over the bay. The lovely setting was accompanied by great food and good friendly service. The rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and my girlfriend's muscles were amongst the best that she'd had in the UK. Would recommend a visit but would also recommend that you ask in advance for things such as an extra bowl for the muscle shells, fingerbowl or ice in your water as these may not arrive. Excellent value and a great evening meal.

Excellent!!!
What can you say about food other than this pub serves the best. They have a fantastic range of drinks available, and the service was great. Three of us went and ordered our starter and main. The dishes arrived and were simply fantastic, their chicken wrapped in bacon with stilton, and apple mash with pork just wow. Time came to think about desert, we were absolutely stuffed but so impressed with the quality of the food that we still had to have dessert. Just before the dessert arrived I made a comment about hoping it was small, but I was disappointed. A huge serving of cheesecake arrived, and the other desserts arrived were huge too. Again the taste, flavours, textures and quality of the food blew us away. I've never felt the need to send compliments and thanks to the chef, but this was different.
Next time I'm in cornwall definately going to go back here.

The food we had for our staff christmas do was out of this world, beautifully presented, beautifully tasty and in a lovely cosy environment...this food rivals some of the more "expensive" restaurants to be found in Cornwall. Will definately be returning again to sample the soup and turkey roast dinner.......highly recommended!!

This was one of our 'locals' when my wife and I holidayed regularly at Holywell Bay over 25 years ago.
With two friends we called in for a speculative lunch on the last Thursday in November with no idea what to expect. From the moment we entered to be welcomed by a waitress/barperson who showed us to a table, took our drinks order and brought them from the bar to the time we paid the bill and were given extra chocolates the whole experience was most enjoyable and one that would put many so-called 'posh' restaurants to shame.The premises have been renovated but still retain a cosy country pub feel and the new licensees who have been there about 3 months are already making further improvements.
The service from all the staff was superb-we even had two apologies for the delay(in their opinion not ours) in cooking the food.This is not a pub for fast food- most meals are prepared to order and well worth waiting for.
I can recommend the beer battered haddock with chips and mushy peas while my friends steak pie was crammed full of meat. My wife opted for a 'light' linch of home-made parsnip soup and a club sandwich. Beware-this is a meal in itself and full of fresh ingredients. Add to all this a good range of local beers and good house wine and you have somewhere that we shall not wait another 25 years to visit.

We have eaten here several times in the last few weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the warm welcome from Charlie and Laura. The roasts are excellent, the rissotto is great, and they do special pasta nights on a thursday for a fiver! The pub is friendly, spotlessly clean and they take care of you.... we`ll be back!!!!

You have to visit this fantastic 16th Century pub in St Agnes - it has the most wonderful character, it's almost like stepping back in time!Real beams, low ceilings and a real log fire makes eating out there a unique experience. The food is wonderfully varied and you get proper servings, it's all home made and local to the area - There was so much choice i just couldn't decide, with the likes of steak and ale pie, roast duck, and quite a choice for vegetarians too! The staff are wonderfully pleasant and smiley! I can't recommend this place enough, it's a hidden treasure just wiaiting to be discovered! Make a date to visit there, you wont be disappointed.

What a great place for a meal, this sixteenth century pub/ restaurant is full of character with small intimate rooms. The menu was varied using local produce, suppliers were listed in the menu. Our party settled for two steaks, a lamb shank and sweet and sour chicken. The service was quick and efficient and the food presented well.The meat dishes were superb, particularly the lamb which was set in a dish of mashed potato and came with fresh vegetables.The sweet and sour was served in noodles. We could'nt resist the desserts and were'nt disappointed. We had sticky toffee pudding served with ice-cream, which was enough for two. All in all an excellent reasonably priced meal in an atmospheric setting ( it is rumoured to be haunted)we will definitely come back!

Well what can I say about this place..... The food is amazing!! We went here of our anniversary and had such a lovely time, the staff were very polite and helpful and the most important thing was the food. I had the seafood starter, which had such a good selection of local fresh seafood; John my partner had the garlic and thyme risotto with sautéed artichokes, which was cooked to perfection! The main courses were just as delicious, I had the roasted cod fillet topped with Cornish crab meat and John had the Braised lamb with aubergine caviar and we did not leave one bit on his plate! We did also make room for dessert which I am so glade we did because I had the homemade strawberry shortbread tower which consisted of layers of shortbread thins, strawberries and clotted cream (not one for the faint hearted), John had the local cheese board which had a good variety of local cheeses, homemade bread and chutney. I would definitely say that we had good value for money, as the dinner was only £25.00 per person. I certainly would go back before our next anniversary!

Nice friendly atmosphere and the young waiter who took our order was very efficient and helpful. The food was ok too (Sweets were really well presented and so much better than the main courses) We were a little disapointed at the lack of imagination regarding the veg and groaned when the usual FRIES were presented with everything. My Goats Cheese tart was nice but the pastry was burnt. Depite all of this, we would go again.

I really enjoy going to Schooners - I probably go too often for my waistlines health! The food tastes great and is always well presented with welcoming and warm service. I should mention the coffee, which is consistently good. The view is superb, completely unobscured vista out to sea. If you're lucky you might get a glimpse of a pod of passing dolphins, as well as the inshore lifeboat, which is usually training actively over the weekends. Reservation notices are appearing on the tables a lot more frequently now, so it's worth phoning before making a special journey. A refurbishment is apparently in the pipeline for autumn '06.
Highly recommended

The Old School Pub has just changed hands and we had heard that it was now, once again worth paying a visit as the food and service was excellent, so we booked in for Sunday Lunch. There were 6 of us in the party and we had a main course which consisted of a carvery, sweet and coffee all for the princely sum of £40. The meat was succulent to say the least and the vegetables cooked to perfection and what a choice. The place was warm, cosy and everything you would expect. This is definitely on my list of places to visit again. I would suggest that you book on 01209 891 158 to avoid disappointment
