If you are looking for a tasteful alternative to the culinary monotony in Cornwall, you have come to the right place. For a menu restaurant with about 70 pounds for six gäbge actually rather cheap. Very friendly young waiter! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £80–90 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 View all feedback.
What Karen Wh dislikes about Fallowfields:
Rather disappointed with our pre booked afternoon tea. Presentation dull, choice of cakes poor and scones overbaked and stale. The waiter and waitress were pleasant and offered to give us a alternative to the scones but we declined. The picture I submitted has had most of what we ate removed. The scones were put on a separate plate. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other View all feedback.

Really fantastic, delicate, seasonal food in a stunning room with spectacular sea views. Clearly a really thoughtful chef. We had the Short Menu and the portion sizes were perfect. And great service from our young waiter. A restaurant which is very attentive and caring of dietary needs delicious alternatives prepared for gluten free eaters, for example. Definitely worth the trip down to the Lizard. Highly recommended. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
This fine dining offering at Housel Bay is located in a beautifully appointed dining room overlooking the Lizard point and lighthouse, with an open kitchen to the rear. The food is superb, certainly deserving of it’s recent recognition with three AA rosettes and mention in the Michelin guide surely to be elevated in the near future! We booked the five course although on arrival couldn’t resist indulging in the seven courses, as the sun set in the distance. Wine flight offered or individually at £10 per glass all well matched and reasonably priced. Service by Alex was unobtrusive and attentive. The only drawback is that the restaurant was so quiet, which stifled the atmosphere a little. That said, I’m betting it won’t be long before you can’t get a table for weeks Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £90–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
Absolute perfection, delicious food, especially impressed by the personalised menus taking into account my hatred of fish and my husband's gluten allergy. Immaculate service from the waiter. Very good value for the level of food artistry.

We came for the 7 course taster menu and was blown away! For £70 we found it very reasonable for such a high standard of food! The fillet steak and vodka cured brill I'm still thinking about three days later, which means we will most certainly be back! You can tell these guys really care about what they do and as a local to the area this is refreshing to see! All the best Sean and Fern x Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Great food. Friendly waiting staff but need more professional leadership. The young waiter tried so hard Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

The food was good, but it was very pricey. The portion sizes were so small that most of our group were still hungry after the meal. We found the informal restaurant at the hotel to be much better.
We were let down by our pre-booked afternoon tea. The presentation was unexciting, the selection of cakes was lacking, and the scones were overcooked and stale. The staff were friendly and suggested an alternative, but we declined. The platter we were served had most of the items that we didn't care for. The scones were served on a separate plate.
This restaurant is great for those with smaller appetites, who are mindful of their budget, and prefer a more traditional atmosphere. Make sure to request a table by the front window for the best bang for your buck!
Leckere bacon baguette.
The food here is actually exceptional. Even something as plain as a fillet steak had incredible detail and depth the ham hock starter was just as lovely. I cannot recommend this chef enough. The food brought a welcome reminder of what the world was like pre pandemic when we used to find hidden gems who presented us something new and interesting and made food that is worth taking about. Great value too. A highlight of our holiday to the area and comparable to any 5* London restaurant we are used to. Thank you.
