  “We booked a table to be sure for 7pm. Myself and my partner both ordered fish and chips, with bread and butter. The bread wasn't that fresh, we asked for it to be changed, they did, the replacement was slightly better. When we ordered, we were told they had no Cod or Haddock, only Pollock. As we were leaving, we noticed the employees performance board telling the staff to offer Pollock only after 6pm?? Come on, just just be honest!”

  “The breakfast service was very poor! The lady at the desk was on her own to serve customers, top us the hot food and everything. She was in a very bad mood, which I understand as she was alone on the shop floor(however not an excuse) , pulling faces being quite difficult when she should be there to make customers happy……. It is not her fault, she was on the front line of all if it unfortunately, it is clearly down do bad management.”

  “We booked a table for a big celebration and the team genuinely went above and beyond from the moment we arrived. The table was beautifully and unexpectedly dressed with a white cloth, fresh flowers, glasses and even a complimentary bottle of fizz. It set the tone for the whole evening. The staff were outstanding throughout. Ellie brought out the cake at the end and was so thoughtful and enthusiastic, which made the moment feel really special. The food was exceptional as well. Several of us ordered steaks and every single one was cooked perfectly to each person’s preference. You could tell real care had gone into it. The atmosphere was brilliant and we honestly could not have wished for a better experience. I want to personally thank the team. I asked for their names so I could leave this properly. Kieran (chef), and the bar staff Ellie, Lesia, Olivia and Skye. You all made our celebration unforgettable. Thank you!”

  “We were served by 2 friendly, smiling and genuinely happy members of staff Megan and Sky. We did a last minute booking for dinner, myself, husband and my 10yr old daughter. The front of house lady was very welcoming, the waitress who took our orders and served us was equally as friendly, bubbly and smiling. We had a lovely dinner, portion sizes were spot on, everything cooked as requested. Very tasty meal. Upon paying , the waitress took payment and was genuinely interested on our time there. Could not have felt more welcomed and looked after. Thank you.”

  “One lady who works the breakfast shift is incredibly rude when engaged with simple questions such as "can we have some tomato sauce when you have a moment please?" The eggs were absolutely anhilated, and the toaster is so slow that you may as well not bother with toast, but otherwise it was a standard breakfast. For our evening meal, we waited just under an hour for our food and the venue really wasn't busy. The curry in particular wasn't great, with way to much sauce, hardly any chicken and only half a naan bread. The venue itself is tired, and the carpets in some locations are real trip hazards. It's obvious the venue isn't care for by the owners or management.”

  “Could not recommend this place enough. I have eaten here on numerous occasions and it never fails to impress. Ellie and all the staff make you feel so welcome. The food is brilliant and well priced. You can always count on having a fantastic experience when you visit.”

  “My wife and I visited The May Tree, Helston this morning for breakfast and were genuinely impressed by the whole experience. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Rachel at the front of house, who took my name with cheerful professionalism (and didn’t even blink when she noticed the title!). She handled our booking and payment with ease and kindly showed us to Table 11—a lovely, peaceful spot by the window. We went for the hot buffet breakfast and everything looked fresh and inviting. I have to give special credit to Emma for the scrambled eggs—easily the best I’ve had in a long time. Light, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned, they were a real highlight. Well done, Emma! We also met Sandy, who was just as friendly and helpful, keeping everything moving smoothly alongside Rachel. It was clear that both take pride in what they do, and it made a big difference to the overall atmosphere. They made us feel really welcome without being overbearing—just spot-on customer service. The only small issue was the lack of a handle on the disabled toilet door, which made things a bit awkward—but that's a quick fix and didn’t take away from the otherwise excellent experience. All in all, The May Tree gave us a brilliant start to our day. Great food, great service, and a lovely environment—we’ll definitely be back!”

  “Nice restaurant, the meal deal is very cheap 2 mains for 11.99! The starter portions could be a bit more on the plate, but i can really recommend the spicy chicken burger, very tasty!! I also wanna add that the waiters are very friendly and fast in service. If you add more food on the plate it will be 5 stars.”

  “On the outskirts of Helston and next to the Premier Inn which we were using for a short break, we found The May Tree to be the perfect place to enjoy an evening meal. So much so that we went there on several occasions! There was a wide selection of food and drinks, sensibly priced. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. The floor space is divided into small cozy areas consisting of 4-5 tables, making it easy to talk without having to shout!”

  “Superb breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff are so friendly and add a personal touch especially when staying next door for a few nights. Food is excellent and reasonable even with the super deals they have running. Good range of vegan and vegetarian options. Excellent drinks including draft and cocktails.”
