The Cornish Deli — Restaurant in England

I absolutely love this place and my partner did too. All the food is gluten-free, amazing for coeliacs! I repeat everything on the menu is gluten-free, not an easy thing to find at all. And not only that, the food is pretty delicious. I had the side salad, beetroot salad, chowder, misto fritto and the nduja scallops, which I shared with my partner, and they all were pretty darn delicious. The fish and seafood is very creamy and whatever you do you have to try the side salad, misto fritto and chowder.

Great service and decor, and you can also buy some Cornish food treats, like different types of cheese, cheddar and brie, along with some other options, to bring home. How amazing is that?!

I also absolutely love the decor and coziness of this place. I want to go again for the sandwiches, which I was informed they do 9:30-3:00. Also, there is a washroom, even though the cozy size!

I felt so excited going and I want to go again. Thank you to all the Cornish deli team for doing such a great job. I would...

The Cornish Deli has to be my favourite place we visited for food whilst in St Ives. Using fresh local produce, the delicious menu was hard to choose from as everything looked and sounded absolutely amazing. We passed here quite regularly when we visited and it was always bustling (which is definitely a good thing) - we went around afternoon time / 2.30ish , however there are more tables in the back if the front tables look full.

Went with the Fritto Misto in the end which came with a delicious combination of lightly battered lemon sole, squid and king prawns, chips, salad and a side of aioli. The meal was absolutely divine, as was the atmosphere inside and the staff that worked there. We try to find independent places when we travel, especially when it comes to food, and this place just ticked every box for us.

This little gem is a must if you’re visiting St Ives. Everything can be made to suite a gluten free diet which was fantastic for my partner....

A truly special birthday thanks to The Cornish Deli

I was looking for a place with gluten-free food on my birthday. The first place I visited ignored me completely, and I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome.

Then I walked into The Cornish Deli — and everything changed. The cozy interior, with its traditional Cornish charm, immediately lifted my spirits. It felt warm, authentic, and inviting.

There was only one person behind the bar, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to him. He greeted us with genuine kindness and made us feel so welcome. Thanks to him, my birthday turned around completely.

My gluten-free crab sandwich was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The seasoned fries and delicious drink made it even more perfect.

I couldn’t have wished for a better place to spend my birthday. Thank you so much to the man behind the bar — your warmth and care truly...
