Popped in for lunch, great selection of options for gluten free, friendly and attentive service. The food was spot on, will be returning on my next visit no doubt.
A truly special birthday thanks to The Cornish Deli
I was looking for a place with gluten-free food on my birthday. The first place I visited ignored me completely, and I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome.
Then I walked into The Cornish Deli — and everything changed. The cozy interior, with its traditional Cornish charm, immediately lifted my spirits. It felt warm, authentic, and inviting.
There was only one person behind the bar, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to him. He greeted us with genuine kindness and made us feel so welcome. Thanks to him, my birthday turned around completely.
My gluten-free crab sandwich was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seasoned fries and delicious drink made it even more perfect.
I couldn’t have wished for a better place to spend my birthday. Thank you so much to the man behind the bar — your warmth and care truly made my day.
An excellent alternative to a classic burger shop. The menu doesn't have the largest selection, but there are very interesting things on it. There are also gluten-free versions. The gluten-free chicken wings are particularly excellent. Rarely have I had such a good and crispy breading. Lots of gluten-free beers to go with it.
Nice Place at the Beach, great breakfast for my wife, two friends and I. I asked for gluten-free bread and they had it. Cappuccino was great too. A definite go! I asked the taxi company for a recommendation, and this was great.
On a day trip by coach, I didn't have much time to wander around looking for somewhere for lunch, as I have Coeliac disease and need to eat Gluten Free, so I looked at Google reviews and found this gem. Lovely, friendly staff, great food and a can do attitude. I had a fabulous GF Cornish Crab sandwich, crisps and a Frappé. Perfect. Thanks guys. Great lunch. 😀
Great food, great coffee and loved the matcha too (I've been back a few times!) Alternative milks, vegan and gluten free options, picnic boxes for the beach, great cakes, wraps and more! Great service and staff too! Highly recommend. ❤️ Eat in or take away.
Lynn & Ellie were very accommodating and lovely members of staff! The food was lovely and again very accommodating for gluten free, one of the few fish and chips shops that offer it in the area.
A great tasting menu including the classic Beef Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. Today was our third visit, and each time it has been an absolute favourite of ours. At £38 per head, it is great value for money. They also cater for gluten free diets.

Definitely worth a visit and a great alternative to bar food, burgers & co. A great selection, a special menu for gluten-free. I wish we had a place like this near us, I would be a regular.
While exploring St. Ives Harbour, after a Googling for sea food place, we stumbled upon a hidden gem: Porthminster Kitchen. This charming restaurant, though not immediately noticeable, offers a delightful culinary experience.
The restaurant's interior is modern with a beautiful designed old wood frammed fireplace that creates a relaxed dining atmosphere.
However, the entrance to the second floor dining area could be better marked to attract more guests.
Food:
The menu at Porthminster Kitchen features a creative and diverse selection of dishes. We started with the Korean Fried Cauliflower and a custom salad, both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.
For our mains, we had the Roasted Hake Fillet and the Whole Cornish Sole, which were cooked to perfection and showcased the freshness of the ingredients.
To finish, the Crispy Rice Pudin with Coconut Sorbet was a delightful and refreshing dessert, particularly appealing to vegan and gluten-free diners.
Service:
The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made recommendations based on our preferences.
We highly recommend!! Yummy 😋🤤
Had a great meal here last night. In a party of nine we had one vegetarian, one vegetarian plus gluten free, and one small person (under three years old). All were catered for without problem and the food and drinks were great - one person said it was the second-best pizza he'd ever eaten. We weren't rushed but at the same time the service was prompt. If we return to St Ives, we'll definitely be coming here again.
Amazing food, best meal I’ve eaten in a long time. 100% would recommend to others 👌 gluten and dairy free needs were also catered for perfectly 👌
Thank you for an amazing meal 😊
The diner was super!! My wife has a gluten and dairy intolerance, but this was not a problem for the chef. We' ve had a fantastic diner and the service was very friendly. Thanks
