The Bean Inn — Restaurant in Great Britain

Nearly passed this up for a chippy.... but can now say that we have bean inn.... The Bean Inn...yeah that's a terrible joke!

ANYWAY! It brings me no pleasure to confess that I am in fact a wolf in sheep's clothing in that I do unfortunately eat...meat...

Buuut but but! This place was absolutely AMAZING! There wasn't a single thing we didn't love! Even I as the blasted carnivore! In fact, I wouldn't have even known (had you not told me) that the butter, the cream, the ice cream, or the mud cake was vegan!

I had trouble booking over the phone initially because signal in my area is naff, but they promptly managed to text me the information so I remained in the know that it was confirmed!

The atmosphere was absolutely spot on! We were in a quieter room but even the other room felt warm and cosy and everyone was so friendly. The playlist was banger after banger and yet entirely appropriate for the mellow and relaxed mood, and the art on the walls was also fantastic! The tables were lovely too - sounds silly but it was like the restaurant really knew what it was and what colours really worked! Earthy, red napkins and really warm!

All we drank was their amazing Morwenna Sunset drink... and the food, OH THE FOOD! This is a restaurant that absolutely knows its craft and knows it so well that you can't be disappointed with anything you order! We had a starter, main and dessert each and only regret being too full for more.

The waitresses were also fantastic. So lovely, polite and warm. It was like being at a cosy relative's house and not leaving without a full belly and a big smile!

This restaurant deserves its own chain with places popping up on every corner! But then that would cause it to lose its charm, and there is no charm from a food place like it!

I can't praise this place enough! Please go even if you're a carnivore! You'll never regret it! Power to...

This place is utterly perfect. We had a lovely romantic meal for two, delicious and great service, the staff were friendly and the place is intimate with tasteful décor. We had the gnocchi with greens and pesto which came with and a side of vegan cheese on request. For mains I had the Vegetable Bourguignon with Herb Dumplings and my other half had the Stuffed Potato Cakes with Pea Curry & Spicy Tarka Dahl. All was absolutely delicious, nicely presented with good sized portions. The total of the bill including a bottle of wine, two sides, starters, mains came to £66 which I thought was pretty reasonable. We were too full to eat the delicious sounding desserts they had to offer! They also do cocktails for around £7. I highly recommend this place. We strolled down to Carbis Bay beach afterwards which was lovely and peaceful watching all bats fly past. Beware of calling local taxis on a night as they are very busy, call ones from St. Ives as they have more on although still busy. A taxi from Carbis Bay beach to Hayle Ventonleague is £17, we had to wait around 45mins to an hour...

We had to book the day before, pay a deposit and then pre order. This was fine for us as it made the visit really straightforward when we got there. It was great to see a few vegan options for main course and dessert. We had the mushroom bourginon and a spiced cauliflower/potato cake dish. Both were excellent and freshly made. We had the vegan cheese board and mud pie with vegan ice cream for dessert. Meals were brought out in a reasonable time and the two young chaps waiting on tables were polite and courteous. There were a few parking spaces out front which was really helpful. The only improvement pointers I would like to feedback regarding our visit was to add another cheese to the board (perhaps a blue-type cheese?) As there was a mild cheddar and a mushroom pate to eat, along with grapes, chutney and onions. Also, it would have been great to have some oat milk to order as I'd have loved a cuppa at the end (soya was available). Otherwise, we were very happy to find a place to cater for vegans and would...
