Harbour Loft — Restaurant in St Michael's Mount

We walked in at 1:15 on a very quiet day with 4 members of staff. We were only allowed cream teas as we hadn’t booked which is fair enough but then the service was shocking. We got sat down at a table and then told somebody would come to take our order. Nobody came back to us we went to the bar and asked a waitress she said she would be with us in a moment. I’m assuming what was the manager shouted over to her no I will go in a minute. He then went to another table so a different waitress came to us. We ordered 3 cream teas. We then had to wait another 10 minutes for a black coffee and 2 pots of tea. No sign of the scones. Several other drinks and food came out and were served to other tables. Again we had to ask where the scones were as we had now finished drinks. Several other tables that were being served the afternoon got served before us. We were in there over an hour for 3 cream teas. Service was slow and what I’m assuming was the managed was extremely rude and abrupt to both visitors and staff. Would not recommend and would not say the money was worth the food. The scones were lovely but cold and the drinks there was enough for one cup of tea each in the pot. We had to ask for the food the drinks...

Saw the afternoon tea advertised on St Michaela Mount Visitor website and did a bit of research. Came highly recommended for an afternoon tea in Cornwall.

Service was great, atmosphere nice and amount of food just right (you won’t feel stuffed at the end).

Highly recommend at least for foodies that appreciate locally sourced ingredients, a slight twist on the standard British afternoon tea and less...

We spontaneously came in for afternoon tea on a weekday, enticed by the brilliant and thoughtful vegetarian menu. Best veggie afternoon tea we both have had! Someone has really sat down and thought about crafting a good menu here rather than taking out the meat/fish options and slapping on a second cheese sandwich. The savouries were incredible (we scoured the Mount shops afterwards for the seaweed crackers, sadly unsuccessfully), 4 different vegetarian sandwiches, a lovely selection of sweets and two large scones each. Our favourites were the wild garlic, celeriac and sea weed crisp, the tartlet with pea and sea vegetables, the fennel pollen egg mayo and Davidstow cheddar + wild garlic sandwiches. The sour lemon and raspberry ripple chiffon was to die for 😍 We had two pots of tea for two as well, the second pot included free of charge; left full to bursting and...
