A true hidden gem on the Lizard!
Fresh seafood doesn’t get better than this — caught from their own boat and served the same day. The lobster was outstanding, sweet and perfectly cooked, while everything else on the menu tasted like the ocean itself. Prices are fair and make the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The setting has a rustic coastal charm: grab your seafood here, pick up drinks from the nearby pub, and enjoy it all at the simple outdoor tables with sea breeze in the air. The owner is wonderfully friendly, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel part of the place.
It’s family-friendly (our kids loved the halloumi salad and classic fish & chips), dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking nearby.
A must-visit if you want to feel the authentic spirit of Cornwall — fresh catch, sea air, and pure joy. 🦞⚓🐟- Service

Best restaurant in Lizard, don’t miss it guys! Delicious food, reasonable price, decent portions, way better than any posh restaurant in Penzance (got ripped off twice there). Absolutely brilliant atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff, will highly recommend it, 5/5!! Thank you to the lovely staff. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review from a local! We just tried your fish and chips, and wow, they're delicious! The price is fair for Cornwall, and the taste is wonderfully fresh. We also appreciated the pleasant dining experience, complete with peas, small salad, and the option to add vinegar and tartar sauce sachets. Plus, the use of proper cutlery was a nice touch! The only downside is that we'll have to drive 50 minutes to come back and visit you again. Nevertheless, we'll definitely be returning! highly recommended!Absolutely amazing sea food. Really reasonably priced for Cornwall. Crab sandwich one of the nicest we've had. You can definitely tell everything is fresh. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Absolutely wonderful little spot, came here because of the other reviews and they were spot on. We went for the loaded crab fries, squid fries, cod goujons, and crevettes small plate. All were fantastic and you could taste they were very fresh. This place goes out and catches their own fish so it’s all local food. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Cornwall. Seating outside so we were able to bring the dog with us too.- Service

Absolutely loved this place! It has a symbiotic relationship with the pub next door that works really well! We'd seen people with fish and chips at lunchtime, and they looked so good that we returned later in the day to have them ourselves. James cooked the fish to absolute perfection, and the beer batter was so light. And the chips....soooo crisp and salted just so.
Kevin, our waiter, was really friendly and happy to tell us a little about the place. Loved it and will definitely return if I'm in Lizard again next year!- Price per person

We stopped in The Witchball pub for a drink and discovered that the neighbouring business, Lizard Shellfish, served food at the pub.
The evening menu offered quite a choice, we decided to share the salt and pepper squid.
The prices were very reasonable.
Very friendly staff and the food arrived quickly.
The squid was awesome, it came with tasty chips along with a very nice dressed salad. Great portion size.
The waiter was friendly and stopped for a chat.
A very pleasant evening and we will certainly return.- Food
