The Old Forge Lelant St Ives Reviews from The Last Year
Wonderful
We were a large family group seated under cover on the patio on a busy Saturday night. Food was excellent. Recommend the linguini, sweetcorn fritters, carbonara, bolognese, fish and chips. In fact everything. Lively ambience and attentive hosts. Wonderful little restaurant.
Punches above its weight
You get a lovely welcome as you enter fhis cute bistro and it’s a good indicator of the excellent service that you will receive The food punches well above its weight and price and whilst I’m more on the French and New world side of the wine list there are some interesting wines from Spain on the list Really enjoyed it’s well executed simplicity
Fab family and dog friendly restaurant
Wonderful meal here and lovely family and dog friendly restaurant. All courses were delicious, in particular the crab linguine and my son, who is a very fussy eater said it was the best dough balls and bolognaise he’s ever had. Would thoroughly recommend. Parking was busy, but the station car park is a two minute walk will ample spaces.
Service Charge - utter greed and absolutley ridiculous .
If this review was for food it would be 5* If this review was for staff it would be 5* If it was for venue it would be 5* I live in the local area and have been to TOF a few times. On a recent lunch trip with 2 friends we had a service charge over £23 This is why I give TOF 1* This is not London Mayfair ….it’s Lelant. It is not even suggested ( with diff % ) it is added on and you have the embarrassment of saying , no , I am not paying that ridiculous price. 4 starters , 4 mains , 4 puddings , 1 drink each should not be over £23 for service charge for lunch . £5-£10 is fair and £10 would be generous. Sadly , we will not be back until this utter greed ends. Mgmt please get real and reduce this charge or you will destroy the business . It smells of the utter greed that exists in hospitality in Cornwall . We are not all tourists !
Excellent food, good value
We ended up eating here 3x during a recent stay in St. Ives. We only planned to eat dinner there once, but the food was so good we went back twice more. One night we both had Steak & ale pie, the next time Crab linguine and Carbonara, and the last time Margherita and Pepperoni Pizzas followed by ice creams and coffees . All were excellent, the mains were freshly cooked and served piping hot. There were still more things on the menu we'd like to have tried, so we'll be going back for more next time we're in St. Ives.
Overpriced and 12.5% service charge!
Having read the great reviews we decided to book for dinner with friends. It was quite busy when we arrived and we had high hopes. The menu was quite limited but we decided on the sweetcorn fritters which were not very tasty at all and did not go well with hummus. We then all ordered pizza which was slim on toppings with a huge crust. It was £68 for four pizzas and we realised why it was so busy when we arrived . There is an offer of two pizzas for £20 which we were not told about in booking! We felt ripped off and to add insult to injury they slapped a £16 service charge on our bill …for putting the food on the table ! 12.5% which we did not pay! There was only one waiter for the whole restaurant . Many of the best restaurants in Cornwall don’t add a service charge it is always a pleasure to reward amazing service. Beware this overpriced restaurant.
Great place for meal with friends
Excellent meal with friends Really love this place , from the team to the atmosphere to the excellent food all so good ! Can’t wait to come back I had the pan fried hake was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly ! Finished with an affogato 👍👍👍
Impromptu Lunch
Excellent quality ingredients and fabulous flavours, very well presented food. Friendly attentive staff. Highly recommend
Lovely lunch
This is a perfect place for lunch. Nice surroundings, friendly and efficient staff. A wide ranging menu. The food was beyond expectations. Dog friendly as well which is a bonus for us. Parking is a bit limited but we managed to park. There is alternative nearby. Booking advisable This restaurant is used by locals so it is recommended. We were recommended by a local We would definitely go back
Best restaurant around!
We stayed in Carbis bay for a week, this is easily the best restaurant around (excluding Adam Handling's Ugly Butterfly, but that's a different category and price point). We came twice and food was divine on both occasions, simple dishes were delicious! I had a Greek salad that was so fresh and vibrant, the quality of ingredients really shone through. My girlfriend had a crab linguine special that she adored both times and I had a pizza and a risotto (both vegetarian) that were amazing. The wine was also a big plus, I think the wine shop next door is run by the same people so there was an impressive list. Service was also excellent. 11/10
Delicious filled ciabatta
We had a lovely lunch here at the Old Forge. The filled ciabatta’s were delicious and generous with the fillings. A bit more expensive than some places but worth it. We have passed this restaurant so many times but never really noticed it, but we will definitely be back.
Lovely evening
Visited this restaurant whilst on holiday in the local area. Amazing food, very plentiful. Lovely service and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a visit here
Hidden characterful gem
Very cute, characterful atmosphere with friendly staff. Food was amazing. Best doughballs ever. Steak was cooked to perfection and the ceab linguine was delicious, tonnes of flavour in every mouthful with just a hint of heat. Little hidden gem we hope to return to.
Friendly & welcoming
What a great find after a very long walk. Happy friendly staff and great cakes. Dog friendly and very clean not far from St Erth station.
The best
The best restaurant around, we absolutely love it every time. No need for us to go anywhere else!! Food is always perfect and the kids love it too. Becky and Mike make the best team!!

Prepaid Reservation Fee

When you sell a reservation that has a prepaid fee AT takes a commission on that fee. This doesn’t really make sense because it’s an expense the seller incurs not part of the profit that is shared.
For example:
Carbone NYC fee to book table for 2 is $108.88
If you sell it for $200 on AT you get $140 from them.
Your net profit is $31 and AT collects $60 in fees.
It would make more sense not to charge commission on the upfront fee as this creates a disincentive and results in higher costs for buyers.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
