Rockhill Cafe — Restaurant in England

I am autistic, adhd and suffer either severe and complex mental health conditions. I am registered disabled.

Part of my rehabilitation of mental wellbeing back into the community I am currently working alongside Pentreath, an NHS mental health service. Part of this is an hourly meet once a week outside of my home and or other clinics I use. what better than a local business in the village I live in, right? Somewhere I can familiarise myself with that doesn’t involve a long journey which I would struggle with…WRONG!!

Arranged to meet a time after the morning rush and before the lunch rush to be respectful to the business and its turnover. Around 10.30am on a Monday morning.

Week 1- greeted and seated, asked for only drinks menu. No problem. Bought drinks, milkshakes, mochas etc. week 2, same situation and times, again buying drinks. Not in the busy period. Advised an hour only. 3, maybe 4 tables were occupied each time. I then returned with my partner, as locals and myself feeling comfortable with my surroundings, for two days in a row to buy breakfasts and drinks.

Upon returning yesterday for a meet up, the car park was full but only 4 tables were occupied. We got to the till to ask for a seat to be very sternly told “we have been told you cannot have your interviews here” no apologies, no chance given to explain what is was that we were doing. I mean the clue was written all over their obvious lanyards.

My support workers were shocked as it was somewhere Pentreath had used on and off for years for the same thing with no issues. They/we were paying customers regardless of conversations had at the table.

We didn’t sit there all day asking for tap waters. We sat for a hour bought drinks, even your cans that you obviously scribble out the rrp and then mark up at almost double (an offence by the way)

Quite frankly it was a disgusting way to be treated, something I felt rather embarrassed and discriminated about having to walk out without having a chance to explain. A smile or an apology would t of hurt surely.

A place I will now longer visit and the wider neurodiverse...

This cafe was an amazing find on a very rainy morning. We had driven past it on a few occasions but today we stopped to eat. We were welcomed warmly by the staff. The menu was amazing. Lots of breakfast choices including vegetarian. We chose to order 3 standard breakfasts, 2 decaf coffees and a mocha. The cafe was busy. Lots of people constantly coming and going. Popular with local people too. The food came swiftly, and was delicious. Freshly cooked and hot!! Standard breakfast consists of bacon/sausage/fried egg/baked beans/mushrooms/hash brown and a slice of toast. Choices of bread to have too. It was such a good find that I can't wait till we come again. No more Asda...

The food is freshly cooked and delicious!

Dogs are welcome and the lady brought over a water bowl for him. He loves a good fuss

He enjoyed his own sausage while we enjoyed the cooked breakfast (they do sell doggie treats as well)

I had a small and my partner had a big breakfast which was enough with no waste. Not greasy or overcooked

Good choice of local produce and great selection of other food choices

Cater for non meat eaters and allergy awareness

The atmosphere is lovely, clean and welcoming with table service

I'd recommend this venue for breakfast or lunch, never disappoints

My only criticism is that they...
