What a wonderful place. We stumbled upon this town by chance, and found this cute little café. We went there for breakfast with our pup, and not only is it super dog friendly, with dog beds available, water and treat, the food is also delicious. The owner is lovely, the café is beautifully decorated, we have had a wonderful time. It's 100% worth to visit. Thank you so much!
Also, they do have plenty of gluten free and dairy free options!
This cozy harbor-side spot is a top address for coeliacs, offering a friendly, dog-friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and a lively vibe. Its gluten-free options are thoughtfully prepared, making it ideal for those seeking a safe and enjoyable dining experience by the water.

THIS PLACE HAS CHANGED!!
What has happened?!?! Has there been a change in management in recent times?
This place was the "GO TO" each summer we visit this beautiful harbour town. There was always a queue on the street to wait and that was always OK, we didbt mind, because everything used to be absolutely outstanding.
Excited for this summers return trip with the family, we raced down the hill from the car park to find that there was no queue outside (bit odd on a bank holiday weekend, this place had them queing outside the street year on year) furthermore, some random DJ advertisement on the window outside and I instantly thought "What's happened?!?"
Upon entering the premises we found no sign of the familiar friendly staff waiting to greet us and sit us down. Furthermore there was no sign to say "sorry this isn't table service anymore" either, just a cold stare from a dark haired girl behind the bar and a point to a table in the window.
My heart sank, I knew this place had changed and it was starting to feel like I had never been here before.
After 10 minutes of waiting, I went to the bar to ask "is it order at the bar now?" The lady nodded and pointed to some menus on a nearby dresser. Why not have a sign to tell the returning customers that service has now changed? Think of the customer journey.
The food was higher in price which was to be expected in this cost of living crisis, but if the quality was the same then we wouldn't mind. We are certainly all for supporting small businesses.
The fish and chips used to be crispy, light and all the batter used to be gluten free, no matter who ordered. It was the standard recipe. The peas used to be salty and minted accompanied by the most delicious creamy homemade tarter sauce. This is what had us returning year after year!!! Well sadly it's nothing like this now. 😢 It's a cheap HEINZ sachet of sauce, a small dollop of some bland mushy peas and the chips tasted like they had been reheated (starchy!!)
I was in despair, what had happened to our beloved holiday eating spot!! 😢 The GF fish batter was the soggy, pale, bicarbonate of soda rubbish you get anywhere, it's cheap and nasty. Where has that secret recipe gone?? This place used to be a cut above the rest, a reason to travel into Mevagissey, and now ... it's... just an average place to eat. The quality is on par with a weatherspoons but more expensive.
Absolutely gutted, it must have changed hands, what a huge shame!! Our family tradition of eating here is now over and we are on the hunt for a new place.
Its just not the same. I agree with the other customers statement that previous reviews are no longer valid, they are of the old days, the old management and old team.
New management need to work this out or they will certainly keep losing customers.
EDIT IN RESPONSE:
1) No one came to check on us or how the food was, the establishment as you say is "bar service"
2) We did ask for fresh tarter sauce and was told its no longer part of the menu.
3) If you see our previous reviews you will know we have eaten at many a 5* restaurant and your chef certainly isnt at this standard at all. Perhaps some porkie pies on the CV ???
4) it does unfortunately look like that across Google, trip advisor and more the negative reviews are starting to stack up. We can't all be wrong?

Today was a return visit, having been here two years ago, and just as good as last time! Best coffee, great atmosphere, delicious food (we had banana & maple crěpes) and very friendly staff. Plenty of dairy-free/plant-based cake & ice-cream choices and oat or soya milk & gluten-free options, too. Will be back again, again! 😄

Not been here for 20 years. Booked it for my best friend's birthday. She's awkward (a coeliac). Was every bit as good as I remembered it. My friend had exactly what she wanted off the menu, no compromise. I will not leave it so long to return.
Perched with stunning sea and harbour views, this cozy restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere enhanced by a roaring fire. The attentive, knowledgeable staff provide excellent service, ensuring a welcoming experience for gluten-free diners.

We are here twice whilst we were staying in Mevagissey and it did not disappoint either time. The food was amazing, and a decent sized portion, we could only do one course and we came out stuffed each time! I have coeliac disease and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting what could be changed so dishes were gluten free. They have gluten free rolls so are able to do all the burgers and anything that comes with bread as a side gluten free. All the fish we had was extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. We would definitely return, was our favourite in Mevagissey!
This quintessential old Cornish pub offers a warm, home-like atmosphere with traditional varnished wood decor and cozy nooks. The staff's deep understanding of gluten-free needs ensures a safe, welcoming experience, complemented by a well-marked, extensive gluten-free menu and careful food preparation practices.

As a celiac when I go to a place and speak to staff it helps that they know what I'm talking about. Not only did the Skip Inn have a good selection of food and desserts, they clearly indicated they were gluten free. Better yet the chef is a celiac so immediately understood. They fry in a separate fryer, and take care with customers needs. Excellent value as well.
