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.
Be the first to ReplyPunches 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
Be the first to ReplyFab 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.
Be the first to ReplyService 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 !
Be the first to ReplyExcellent 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.
Be the first to ReplyOverpriced 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.

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
Be the first to ReplyBest 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
Be the first to ReplyDelicious 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.
Be the first to ReplyHidden 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.

Be the first to ReplyLovely Lunch
Just had a wonderful lunch. Food was delicious. We shared the cheesey dough balls to start. They were lovely and very indulgent with garlic butter. I had the veg packed minestrone soup and my husband had the BLT sandwich. Followed this all with a very good flat white coffee. Makes a change to have a good hot coffee of barista quality. Perfect service from the ladies serving the food. Great atmosphere with a relaxed vibe.

Directed to the outside area, which is lovely. Ordered a small plate meal which ended up being larger than my husbands big plate meal. Food was glorious. Just the fetid smell of sewage completely destroyed my appetite. Food great. Smell disgusting
Be the first to ReplyGreat breakfast, fabulous place
We visited on New Year's Day and had a fabulous breakfast, the food was delicious. We were served by a really friendly guy, I think his name was Mario, he was great. In fact all the staff were so nice. We'll definitely be back. It's great for everything from breakfasts, to takeaway pizzas and evening meals. Would thoroughly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyThe best for miles around.
I adore The Old Forge, from a take-away coffee and pastry through to the occasional light lunchtime bit, and of course a great evening meal. I've tried it all, and don't have a bad word to say about it. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the menu is small but sufficient to offer something for everyone, and the food itself is delicious and reasonably priced. Plus, the serve my favourite beer, and have a wonderful selection of wines. Did I mention the coffee was good too? Lelant would be a much poorer place without The Old Forge and it's wonderful team.
Be the first to ReplyA good lunch spot
Visited for lunch with a friend - ‘twas was a very enjoyable pizza and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again in the future.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food and great portions
The food is here is excellent but you need to have a really good appetite because the portion size is on the large side. The service is friendly and efficient. This all adds up to great dining experience whether you are in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We had a tremendous lunch on our trip to Hayle to collect the last of our Christmas provisions. Highly recommended and you really should book in advance.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a gem of a restaurant!
We’re visiting the area for a few days and didn’t know what to expect from the Old Forge. However, we stepped through the door and were immediately made to feel very welcome, including our German Shepherd. The staff were very friendly, service was excellent, the food was perfect and everything was spotlessly clean. I highly recommend every aspect of this gem of a restaurant. Thank you to the Team there for a perfect birthday lunch.
