Tengo is a cafe in St. Austell Cornwall…read more Its a fab cafe with cheaply priced food, good friendly service and very tasty food! My personal favourite has to be their soup of the day which you can have with garlic bread or a sandwich, perfect for warming up on a winters day! The downstairs can accoomodate a push chair or 2 easilt and you can sit watching the world go by in the window seats, and there is a lot more room upstairs. The staff are very helpful and bring everything over to you after you order at the till, s you can just sit and relax.especially helpful when you have a child in tow that you ahve to keep an eye on! The staff are very friendly too, and I have never heard anyone say a bad word about the place since it opened. If in St Austell town centre this has to be one of the best places to lunch.

It is located in the heart of Penzance town centre, next to the main car park which is quite useful. It enjoys unrivalled panoramic views over Penzance Harbour, and St Michael's Mount can be seen in the distance. The window goes right along the entire length of the building. You can even see the Lizard Peninsular. The lunch menu is especially good, with the club sandwich a personal favorite. Nicely priced at £5, you get a very good size sandwich (you have to eat with a knife and fork unless you are prepared to get a bit messy). It also comes with a side salad, and not just a tomato and slice of lettuce! Some say it is a bit pricey, but if you find one of your favourite dishes on the menu, you will probably leave contented.

For a cheap drink it can't be beaten and is open to non members who want to pop in for pool or cream teas etc. Although its a watersports club it doesn't have the usual yachting atmosphere and clientele and is pretty relaxing. The place is very clean and in the summer its worth going out onto the balcony that overlooks the waters edge. If you become a member or book through a member you can rent out the whole place for the evening and they offer a great choice in buffet food options that suit every pocket, we've spent many birthday parties there and enjoyed every one.

The food and owners are Italian and you couldn't find friendlier people. Both savoury and sweet foods are a delight with the ingredients sourced locally from the best available.

The cakes were hard to resist and the the apple ginger cake did not disappoint. The flavour soaked thoroughly in the cake and chunks of apple were present at practically every bite. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make this place a gem. I saw one give directions to a little old lady who wandered in from the street and even equipped her with a map before sending her on her way. Another staff member kept an eye on the children who were sat outside while their parents were inside and reported on the boy shenanigans that were going on. Even a young solo backpacking foreign diner was made to feel comfortable and at home. The Cafe's also displays local art works on their walls which are available for purchase. Stop by and visit Olive's Cafe. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

English beach at Its best…read more Situated in the shadow of the iconic Tate St Ives gallery, Porthmeor is a sandy, safe beach, popular with surfers and swimmers alike. It's in an ideal location just a stone's throw from the centre of St Ives, where you'll find ancient pubs, trendy cafes and lots of art galleries the town is famous for. A perfect place for a beach picnic - you can easily get all you need from the town, the beach is busy in summer with families who enjoy the easy access, and in winter the surf brigade from the town have all those rollers right on their doorstep. Porthmeor is one of only eight beaches in Cornwall that hold the prestigious Blue Flag Award 2021, given in recognition of water quality, safety, environmental management and education. Lifeguard cover from Easter until the end of October (2021). Parking - the car parks in St Ives get full very early in main season, and the large car park at the top of town can bit a hike back up. Why not try parking at St Erth station or Lelant Saltings and enjoy the scenic branch line into the heart of St Ives. Please note: Dogs are welcome on this beach except between 15th May and 30 September (10am - 6pm) when a seasonal dog ban is in place (2020).

After driving down from Newquay, managing the narrow roads through St. Ives, my sister-in-law…read morewanted nothing more than the pancakes called out in the Guardian's recommendation of this place. We only had to wait a few minutes at the car park just up the hill, and we were seated almost immediately, though we were told that the kitchen was quite backed up (10am on the last Saturday in August, beautiful morning), so we'd need to wait about 10 minutes to order. No bother, we started with hot chocolate and a carrot-ginger juice (made in house). Drinks were great. Unfortunately, when we did get to order, we were told that they were out of pancakes. So both J and J ended up with poached eggs and toast. Jimmy got the side of chorizo. I got the scrambled eggs, cornish crab, crème fraiche, lemon and rocket. Though the kitchen was backed up, the food came decently quickly. My eggs were delightful and mixed quite well with all the other toppings. The views of the beach and surf school were entertaining, as were the menus with the clippings mentioning the historic shipwrecks and even the subsequent capsizing of a lifeboat during the rescue. It's a charming spot, but you'll need to get there early if you want pancakes.
