Our Guestbook
“ We live locally and not been here before so gave it a go on a Sunday lunchtime. Both had carvery, one was pork and one was beef, this was well cooked and tasty, vegetables tasty and come in a large sharing plate with a jug of extra gravy on the side. We had 2 x puddings and 2 x pepsi drinks. Price was 59 so reasonable for the 2 of us. Interesting inside and staff were attentive ( on the day it looked like they had 2 new staff who were learning the ropes ). We had not booked and we were a walk in but they found us a table on the earlier sitting and heard waitress saying to the New team member it will be a busier second sitting as all tables fully booked. Given a 5 star as left happy Well done all at Smugglers Cott ”
“ This place is an absolute gem and if you love history, smugglers and intrigued as well as lovely staff and unbelievably delicious food then this is your place. We had salmon and tenderloin pork and both meals were fantastic. We were shown some of the historic features of the building whilst we waited for our meals and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. It was my birthday and I couldn't have spent it in a better place. Highly recommended restaurant but you need to book. ”
“ Such an amazing atmosphere it's incredible! We came in just to have a quick meal and appreciate the history surrounding us. Lovely town. I had soup of the day broccoli and spinach - refreshing taste. ”
“ Lovely food, good menu and portion sizes. We just about managed a 3 course meal. It's our second time here, and looking forward to coming back again. ”
“ Best damn restaurant in the city. We have been here for 5 days, spent 3 dinners there to be able to enjoy the menu, the atmosphere and the wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. On top of this, this is the only place in the city that is serving dinner on a Monday at 8:30pm that is not Indian or Chinese. If we visit the city ever again, we definitely come again to enjoy everything. ”
“ We were very lucky to get a table here on a busy Sunday lunchtime. The staff were very accommodating for 2 adults and a young child. We had the roast dinners which were absolutely delicious! Very generous with the sides and gravy portion. We also shared a dessert which was great too! Would highly recommend :) ”
“ Wow, wow and more wow. What a find, especially for Sunday lunch. We absolutely loved our traditional roast here for five. Everything was cooked to perfection, the staff were amazing and the ambience sublime. Recommend you book in advance for this first class hot spot. A credit to Looe and the standard that many restaurants should be aiming for! ”
“ Food was so delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were spectacular. An absolute must ”
