  “This place is absolutely amazing. The food menu is fab, with something for everyone. The beers on offer and cocktails are also fantastic. I would say that you could spend all day in and around this, on the estuary and beach (watching out for the tide!) Doggy friendly and just an unbelievable place, well done to all the staff and owners for creating such a beautiul place. Thank you!”

  “You MUST try this place if you are in Hayle … We ended up visiting Gilbert’s twice during our week in Hayle, which says it all really. The first time we stopped in for cocktails and the Dirty Duck fries, which were so good we knew we had to come back. On our second visit we had the steak with king prawns and it was cooked perfectly. The staff were lovely on both visits, really friendly, welcoming and attentive without being over the top. The service was spot on. The setting is one of the best things about Gilbert’s. Sitting outside overlooking the beach is just beautiful, especially on a sunny day. It’s also really dog friendly, which was a big plus for us. Our two dogs were made to feel just as welcome as we were, with treats and a bowl of fresh water brought over. If you’re in Hayle, it’s well worth a visit. Great food, good cocktails, lovely staff and an amazing location. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Cornwall.”

  “Amazing location and well done out with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating/tables overlooking the estuary. The staff were all very friendly and the service was prompt. Only letdown was the food and drink. I had a Madri beer which tasted watered-down and a little off. The Korean sticky chicken lacked flavour and felt underwhelming for the price. Could be a really special place if the food and drinks were given some more attention. Come for the vibes (not for the meals).”

  “We stopped by after a beach day on June 28th. The venue is highly welcoming, dog-friendly, and offers stunning views with both indoor and outdoor seating. The Food & Drink: We paid £85 for two orders of Fish & Chips (£18 each), two "Dirty Pig" loaded fries (£15 each), plus water, a Pepsi, and two peach beers. Everything tasted excellent! A bit surprised that the fish and chips came with a curry-style sauce instead of standard sides, so we had to ask for vinegar. Drinks are served in hard plastic cups. The Vibe & Staff: Outstanding service—the staff are incredibly prompt and friendly. Great background music and a brilliant atmosphere for all ages. Room for Improvement: The kitchen window is open to view, and we noticed the person plating the fries wasn't wearing gloves. They also only stock Pepsi, not Coke. Minor complaints aside, we had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be back!”

  “Pay and display parking. Went on a stunning day so the view over the estuary was beautiful. Waitress kindly came over to let us know breakfast was almost about to stop being served so we could get our order in. Was all perfect. Lots of fabulous seating and able to overlook the beach for the kids to play.”

  “We were initially unsure if we were going to eat here as the day was colder & wetter than expected and the prospect of eating outside, despite our liking the look of the menu online, wasn't appealing. Fortunately there was a covered eating area and a spare table! The children shared a pizza and garlic bread and I went for the veggie version of the loaded fries. My husband went for the chowder and because the menu was so tempting and we were hungry, we also shared the salt & pepper squid ( and the kids happily ate the fries!) All food was delicious and not a crumb was left. As there was a chai latte on the menu, I naturally went for that and it warmed me up before the food arrived. Lovely beach views and would love to return on a more sunny day and eat outside.”

  “Spent the evening here after a day on the beach. Great place, menu could do with a few more non-chilli options, but we had the Fuzzy Duck pizza - nice thin crispy base and one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten!! Mocktails and cocktails are good too, all served by very friendly staff. Excellent place to watch the sun go down. Definitely be back!”
