Meaderies are an institution in West Cornwall, serving dishes like chicken in the rough and ribs in a faux-Medieval atmosphere. Penzance's Waterside Meadery has a fantastic dockside location, and is definitely the place to come for a fun meal out.
Tuck into the hearty food by candlelight, and make sure you wash it down with the famous mead (warning: this is heady stuff). Mead aside, it's a super kid-friendly restaurant, and generations of Penzance kids have grown up celebrating their birthdays here.
The building itself is also worth a look. The meadery is housed in former china clay storage sheds, right on Penzance docks. Today, the building has three floors of dining, including a roof terrace with great views of the boats.

If the name alone doesn't leave you smiling, the gorgeous clifftop location of the Cracking Crab in Polzeath definitely will. This modern little seaside restaurant has some of the best views of the surf in town and does a fine line in seafood.
On the topic of seafood - the menu almost has too much to choose from in this department. If you're a foodie, prepare to be snapping shots of every well-presented popcorn shrimp and fruits de mer meal served up. Lunch, dinner, light bites, and seafood platters are available all week.
The daytime menu features salads and fishy dishes, sandwiches and baguettes, Cornish cream tea, drinks, etc. The evening menu includes crab cakes, mussels, shallots, prawn cocktail, king prawns, duck salad, Mediterranean mezze, baked cod, steak, surf 'n turf, lobster, and even chickpea tagine. If this doesn't entice you, grab a glass of wine and let the sunset put on a show over the bay just for you.

The Russell Inn is a charming 'olde worlde' pub found nestled near the quayside in Polruan, just across the water from Fowey. If you are out and about, exploring Polruan or the coast path and end up in Fowey, look across the water, and there you'll see the Russell Inn, the perfect location for a post-adventure pint and a hearty home-cooked meal. Serving real ale and fine food since 1832, the Russell Inn has had plenty of time to perfect its menu.
The Russell Inn makes a concerted effort to buy as much local produce as possible. For breakfast and lunch, the restaurant is closed, but patrons are encouraged to buy food from the café next door, Jam First, which they can enjoy at The Russell Inn up until 3 pm, as long as drinks are purchased at the pub.
The kitchen is open from Monday to Saturday, 6 pm to 8.30 pm and offers delectable dinners including lite bites, seafood and burgers, pizzas, platters (for sharing), sides, and even dessert. Beers, ciders, and spirits are also readily available.

This is such a West Cornish combo: a beachside cafe and surf school. Tuck into a bacon sandwich breakfast after a morning surf, or simply bypass the aquatic bit and head straight for a cream tea.
The cafe is open ten until four from Wednesday to Sunday. The terrace is the perfect spot for a coffee (or a chilled afternoon cider on a hot day), or if you need to warm up from the water, drink a hot chocolate next to their toasty woodburner.
Renowned surf school Global Boarders runs that side of things, and there's also a surf shop and equipment hire. You'll find this surfers' haven behind the car park at Gwithian beach.

Welcome to a real West Cornish tradition: the Meadery. There are a few of these medieval-themed restaurants dotted around, and Newlyn's is especially fun, thanks to its former cinema location and “drawbridge” entrance.
Inside, the vast banqueting hall is dimly lit and lively, and you'll be served by the Meadery's Wenches. The menu? The Meadery is famous for its “chicken in the rough” or ribs, served on wooden platters. Medieval purists - don't stress about the fact there are potatoes on the menu, and simply enjoy your pile of fries.
Of course, this is washed down with Cornish mead - have your taxi booked ready, as it's potent stuff. Newlyn Meadery is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Housed in a rather imposing-looking Victorian building, The Bird in Hand is a welcoming Hayle pub, with a large beer garden and a reputation for excellent traditional roasts.
It's also at the entrance to family-favourite attraction, Paradise Park, making it a welcome pitstop for parents after a busy day out. As well as good food and drink, The Bird in Hand hosts regular music nights, as well as quizzes from the legendary Liz's Quizzes.
The building was the former coach house for Glanmor House (now Paradise Park's HQ), and you can still see traces of the old horse stalls. However, if you sit outside on a sunny day, you can enjoy a background chorus of the park's parrots along with your meal and beer.

Set in the leafy surroundings of Penzance's Penlee Park, the Orangery is a great spot for a morning coffee, light lunch, afternoon tea or something a little stronger. This popular cafe is attached to Penlee House and is open during the same hours as the gallery and museum.
Lunch is served between 12.00 and 3.00 pm with freshly prepared sandwiches and salads being the order of the day. Don't miss out on the delicious home-baked cakes and pastries either.
During the summer this is a great spot to sit outside on the terrace and enjoy an alfresco lunch overlooking the park.
