The Idle Rocks - Menú

Superb food and wine at a reasonable price, we would definitely go again when in the area

Amazing food, service and beautiful food. Such friendly service and so well looked after, would definitely return

Idyllic location with excellent service. We felt the menu was slightly limited, but the food was delicious. 10 out of 10 for decor!

An outstanding venue for Sunday lunch. Great food, professional and friendly service and superb ambience. Always a good experience.

Fabulous! What more is there to say? As I find I must write more than 50 characters I would add: The food is fantastic, the atmosphere lovely and welcoming, and the service from start to finish absolutely first class. It is the best restaurant in St Mawes by a mile.

First class in every aspect of the word, I can not emphasise how great our experience was. The food was perfection. The attention to detail on the service was appreciated, serving ladies first. We’re young, but certainly appreciated the traditional approach to service. 5* and would recommend, and will be back in the summer.

The Idle Rocks hotel and restaurant has just re opened with new chef Dorian Janmaat after a major refurb. We were there for dinner with friends just two days after they re opened and were VERY impressed with everything despite not running a full team in kitchen or out front yet. Really looking forward to coming back, Dorian if you produce delicious food like that when you don’t have a full team we are in for a real treat when you do!

As ever, the food and setting of The Idle Rocks was as great as ever this is now the sixth time we have eaten there. The service was not as great as ever and maybe that is due to the current challenges we are all experiencing. Our booking had been lost, there were no steak knives (three out of four of our party had steak), our drinks were spilt when being served and there was no bread. The main waiter was great and all the other staff were very good, but a lot of new faces and maybe still training. Table, drinks and food were great though and does not put us off going again, just not quite as polished as visits before very high standard they've set. Would 100% still recommend as somewhere to...

It was a very quiet evening ,although things did get a bit busier later on. The person on reception was lovely welcoming, friendly and efficient. Wasn’t so sure about the gentleman who took our drinks order who maybe seemed a little offhand ... We were then served our drinks and meal by someone else who was, if anything, a little too solicitous! We were told that “the chef is ready for you now” and were moved to our table (with our drinks), only to have quite a wait in a very empty dining room before even the amuse bouche was served. This was a shame as the lounge area had been cosy and comfortable! The smell of lilies near our table was rather overpowering but I really should have mentioned...
