Booking & timing

• Reserve ahead for weekends, school holidays and sunsets—prime tables go fast.

• Parking in coastal towns can be tight—arrive a little early or use local taxis.

Cornwall‑wise tips

Pair your meal with a coast path walk, a harbour wander or a quick dip before brunch. Ask about local specials—from chalk‑stream trout to foraged herbs—and try Cornish drinks: English sparkling wine, local gins, craft beers and ciders. If you’re self‑catering, many spots offer takeaway or heat‑at‑home dishes.

Accessibility & dietary needs

Most restaurants clearly mark allergens; message ahead for gluten‑free, dairy‑free or nut‑free needs. Step‑free access and accessible loos vary by building—especially in older harbours—so a quick call helps.
