The Idle Rocks - Truro

If you find yourself in Mawes (which is not a large place!), this hotel is a great spot to grab a coffee or a meal with perfect views overlooking the harbor.

During our recent trip to Cornwall, we made a reservation at Idle Rocks for Sunday lunch. This was our first time visiting St Mawes, so after a car ferry ride, we parked our car and headed to the restaurant.

As ever, the food and setting of The Idle Rocks was as great as ever this is now the sixth time we have eaten there. The service was not as great as ever and maybe that is due to the current challenges we are all experiencing. Our booking had been lost, there were no steak knives (three out of four of our party had steak), our drinks were spilt when being served and there was no bread. The main waiter was great and all the other staff were very good, but a lot of new faces and maybe still training. Table, drinks and food were great though and does not put us off going again, just not quite as polished as visits before very high standard they've set. Would 100% still recommend as somewhere to eat and drink.

Amazing food, service and beautiful food. Such friendly service and so well looked after, would definitely return

Superb food and wine at a reasonable price, we would definitely go again when in the area
