A Lifelong Love for St Ives - Visiting for Over 30 Years and Still in Awe

We’ve been coming to St Ives for over 30 years — long before artisan sourdough and natural wine became the norm. From childhood holidays to adult escapes, this town has always held a special place in our hearts. We've seen it change — sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically — but its charm, creativity, and coastal magic always remain.

Supporting the Local Food Scene

We're not second-home owners, and we never will be. This site isn’t backed by PR agencies, restaurant groups, or sponsors.

Every meal is paid for out of our own pockets - because we believe in genuine experiences and staying independent. We want this site to be a true reflection of what it’s like to eat in St Ives, not what it’s like to be invited to eat in St Ives.

We’ve watched new chefs rise, tiny cafés blossom, and old pubs reinvent themselves. This blog exists to celebrate that evolution and support the people behind it, the bakers, baristas, chefs, servers, and family-run kitchens that give this amazing place its flavour.

Our Mission

To Be the Most Trusted Voice in St Ives Dining

Our goal is simple: to become the most respected, honest, and helpful food blog in the St Ives landscape. We’re not trying to be influencers. We’re trying to be useful. Whether you’re looking for a romantic seafood dinner, a vegan brunch, or the best crab sandwich near the harbour, we’ve got you.

For Local Businesses

Let’s Build This Together

If you’re a local food business and you’d like to connect, we’re always happy to help. Whether it’s feedback, a listing update, or just a quick chat about your menu, drop us a message. We’re here to support the community, not judge it.
