This is a lovely place to have an amazing monster doorstep sandwich for lunch. Made with quality, tasty ingredients to fill your tunmy. The cakes looked amazing too, but I didn't have any room! Coffee was great, not wishy washy stuff you sometimes get. Location is unique based around the old mill. It's totally down to earth and relaxed. This should be top of your list when you're in the area and want to fill your tummy.

We experienced our first pizza evening yesterday and we can honestly say we was not disappointed one bit. A lovely location, nice wood fired pizza - nice and thin! Don't hesitate to get booked in and enjoy.

Melinsey Mills is an eccentric & different place to have a tea or homemade lunch in a hidden spot in a Cornish Valley near Truro. The place has a very interesting and antique mill that is currently working. The cafe is set around a pound with rustic tables and chairs, you can walk around the pond to see a display of curiosities that made the walk interesting. The food and service was good. Nice experience in a different place.

What a gem. Delicious home made food in a delightful setting. Perfect for kids or adults. Even on a cold day I would highly recommend. Go for the hot soup and bread whilst sitting near a real fire looking out at the pond.

A hidden gem we found off the beaten track. The cream tea was THE BEST I've ever had. The scones were beautifully soft, a huge pot of jam and cream and a pot of tea with extra water and extra tea. We sat in a little nook next to a small waterfall and had the company of a little Robin. Rustic but absolutely charming.
