Patrons rave about the generous portion sizes, particularly the fries, which come in two sizes—enough to feed a small family!
The beer selection is exceptional, with a variety of local brews and well-known favorites, ensuring something for every palate.
Families appreciate the kids' menu, which includes healthier options that even picky eaters enjoy, like salads and veggie nuggets.
Live performances create a lively atmosphere that enhances the dining experience, making it more than just a meal but a cherished memory.
Guests praise the accommodating staff who go above and beyond, from providing warm blankets in the beer garden to crafting off-menu desserts.
Most Disliked
Some diners find that weekends can feel crowded, especially on Fridays around dinner time, making it challenging to find a quiet table.
A few reviews mention that certain dishes could use an extra kick of flavor, like the Korean chicken, where spice levels might not meet expectations for those who prefer dishes with a fiery twist.
Pricing for some food items, like the upgraded burgers, occasionally raises eyebrows, as patrons feel they could be more straightforward given the portion sizes.
While overall service is often praised, a couple of busy nights have led to longer wait times for food delivery, particularly during peak dinner hours.

Great little seaside food spot. They were so accommodating for our family. Just know the fries come in two portion sizes. The full size could easily feed three people maybe even four. I told them the Korean version could have been spicier but was informed the English don’t like spice. Everyone was so friendly and it generally has a very upbeat and cheery vibe.

Still managed to find us a table within the waiting time they said.the food choices for all different dite needs and when the food came it was amazing so tasty and the portions size was so big.

We had the pleasure of eating here during a recent visit to the beautiful Perranporth! The food was delicious, service was great and the atmosphere was fun and friendly. The menu is fantastic and the Disco fries were such a hit that we returned a few days later to eat them again! We ate as a family with our 14 year old and the experience was great! The staff said that people often miss the restaurant when visiting the beach, but if you are passing, we would highly recommend a visit!!

Nice little gem on the sea front. We sat outside in the unique beer garden. Service was outstanding, and they provided us with a blanket to stay warm. We ordered nacho's, Chorizo Bravas and a Chicken Chorizo Burger (See photo's attached) I bulked the burger up for an extra £4 and for what it was I felt it was a tad expensive for what you get but the food was great. They even went out of their way to make me a dessert, which was a brownie and ice cream (not on the menu) 👏 I would highly recommend coming here to enjoy your evening as the sun sets behind you.

A very relaxed and casual burger joint close to the beach. The staff is friendly and flexible. The dirty loaded fries are done properly and the portions are generous.

Just popped in for somthing to eat and drink on a busy Sunday afternoon and they found us a table immediately. We do have a few dietary requirements and they worked around them all, the whitebait, prawns, salad and burger were fantastic. The service was also brilliant, they simply couldn’t do enough for us. 10/10
