The Mussel Box in Padstow offers a mix of experiences for diners. Some have found the service lacking and the menu limited, while others rave about the outstanding food, generous portions, and friendly staff. The setting along the Padstow harbor is described as stunning, and the option to bring along dogs is a bonus for many. The restaurant accommodates different dietary needs with plenty of options available. Diners praise the delicious curries, roasts, and seafood dishes served. Despite some mixed reviews on service and menu variety, the overall consensus leans towards positive experiences at The Mussel Box, making it a recommended stop for those visiting Padstow or the surrounding area.

Well my experience is pretty poor! Mussels served with brown bread instead of Focaccia! No IPA ale! A measly slice of carrot a measly slice of parsnip. A 12% service charge (for what? Won’t be bothering to go there again!

We both fancied mussels for supper so decided to try here. Upon walking in we were met with a delicious smell of Indian cuisine. When then we were seated next to a couple who were just finishing their curries so we decided to change tact and go Indian. Delicious. Lovely spice, gentle warmth, crisp onion bhaji, soft naan and we also had a small Indian spiced mussel dish which were excellent. I'm sorry not to get the name of the young lady who served us but she was an utter delight and a real credit to your business. Well done everyone!

Well what can I say. We don’t eat out a lot in Padsow even though we live there but we did a last minute booking at the mussel box. We were looking at Tapas but saw ‘Reggie’s Curries’ Intrigued by the descriptions we had one of each (there was 6). They were the best curries we’ve had in a very long time and we have had a few! The flavours were to die for. Expertly put together with very tasty sources. We were served by Nicole who was exceptional. Very professional and tentative. Well done mussel box. We will be back very soon.
