Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

For £16 one expects a good roast dinner, but alas that wasn’t the case. Served stringy roast beef with a Yorkshire and a small amount of gravy a good time before the veg came out. The result was a cold meal. Asked for more gravy...and was told all gravy is vegetarian? Portions kept us hungry and the service was slow having booked in. Drinks expensive. Staff refused to bring us more vegetables. So best keep looking if you want a cracking Sunday roast I’m afraid.More

BEST SUNDAY LUNCH IN CORNWALL ! I have been living in Cornwall for the past 10 years and dined in many restaurants but this is the first time I have been to the Summer House. My grandson had a birthday party to attend in the...area so the family decided to book here for Sunday lunch. The staff were welcoming, polite and lovely and could honestly not do enough for us . The Summer House itself had such a cool non pro tensions vibe, and my 2 grandchildren and my dog relaxed happily whilst myself and my daughter chilled with a very reasonably priced bottle of Prosecco. The Sunday lunch we could not fault, with ample generous portions of beautifully cooked veg ( nothing worse then dining out as a family and fighting over who’s taken too much of the shared vegetables is there ? ) ! I simply cannot fault this place, the food, or the staff - everything was just perfect. The best Sunday Lunch I have had in the last 10 years and we dine out as a family often … Well done and thank you - we will be back 😊❤️More

We had a great meal here. We had planned to go to the Watering Hole but this place looked more up our street. Was less busy and more of a chilled out vibe. We had the pulled pork burger and I had two aperol spritz...for £15. The service was great and they were so attentive. We also had the chocolate brownie to share and it was warm. A lovely end to a lovely day (we had been to port Issac and were on our way down to Hayle)More

Absolutely fantastic Sunday Lunch with my Mum. We didn’t realise they did Sunday lunches and were pleasantly surprised when we saw they did. Beautifully cooked, great selection and delicious vegetables. Good generous portions too. The view is spectacular too! Highly recommended and we will be...back!More

Nice tidy venue, stunning location. My partner ordered a burger for about £15 it was totally ghastly and consisted of two dry thin non flavoursome burgers, a slab of cheese in a bun… the mussels were nice, the satay chicken was dry as a flip...flop and came in a very odd sauce which none of us liked, shan’t be chancing our luck there again in a hurry… no discount offered for the half eaten burger, upon making the staff member aware his response what’s that’s what he hears all the time…!! Birthday meal disaster 🤦🏽‍♀️More

We visited for our family's final meal, and it is not a family place, book this for groups or couples. Menu is over fancy with the kids menu over complicated for a start. the main was ok. there was a lot of staff all walking...around with only a few of them actually doing anything. We counted 7 on floor and 2 on the bar, and to be honest in an efficient restaurant in London you can get away with 1 bar and 2 or 3 good staff on the floor. The staff were very young and you could tell the inexperience by thier lack of menu knowledge. They were friendly but i might as well have been using an app to order. The food was ok, my wife and daughter had the cod, and i had the steak. my son had the kids sausage and chips. My dauggter and i ordered extra chips as it was not clear the main menu selection had sufficient potatoe or veg and the waitress didnt know to advise. the steak was well cooked and it was very nice although very pricey at £32 for wht it came with and the size. my wife nd daughter had the cod and they were happy. to our amazement it came with a pot of mash so extra chips was overkill and not needed.More

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, really nice food and possibly the nicest fries (Gucci Fries) I’ve ever had. Good service and a good location

Spotted the restaurant on the hill thought to check it out. Sat and looked out across the beach with a frozen Pina Colada. Then ordered a range of seafood: Fried Calamari, Scallops & Mussels. The scallops wrre cooked well however the grainy texture of the...breadcrumb was a little disappointing. The mussels were great with a rich sauce. Pricey lunch however great for a special occasion.More

A nice meal enjoyed by all, all the girls working there are great. Slightly cold due to wet weather outside and the main large doors being left open. Nicest looking/welcoming restaurant in Perranporth Definitely recommend the frozen marg!
