Quick info
About Wheal Dream Restaurant
Wheal Dream Restaurant sits on the B3297 in Helston, alongside on-site lodges and a golf course that let visitors extend a meal into an overnight stay. The kitchen runs sirloin steak, sea bass, and salt and pepper squid, with sourdough pizza and cheesy nachos for lighter orders, and a carvery on Sundays. Desserts include crème brûlease, biscoff cheesecake, and chocolate orange brownie. The bar pours a Cornish honey spiced rum alongside cocktails such as mango and passionfruit. Waitstaff bring table service, and the restaurant takes walk-ins while also offering online table booking for those who want to arrange ahead. The setting is countryside, with coves and beaches nearby for guests staying at the lodges or passing through after a round of golf.

“Stunning looking pub with a beautiful country feel, along with a very vibrant and relaxed feel to it. All of the staff were an absolute pleasure and a joy to be served by them all. We had the carvery, which was stunning. Fresh, good quality …”

“Well what can I say… As my Dad was down visiting and wanted a nice meal, (a “steak” was craved) we decided to go to the Wheal Dream. We booked online which was very straight forward a table for 3. There was a great choice of meals and the service was brilliant - very attentive staff as always, but in the same breath, gave us space to talk and eat our meals. We tried one of the new Mango and Passionfruit cocktails….. perfect !! I had Sea Bass and this was accompanied by muscles and prawns, with crushed potatoes and beans, asparagus and broccoli with a lovely garlicky sauce - it was beautifully cooked and presented. My Dad got his steak, a Sirloin and again it was well presented and cooked to perfection and that was served with a blue cheese sauce and chips. My daughter had cheesy nachos topped with bacon as she was just coming along for company but as she’d eaten elsewhere earlier in the day, she didn’t finish them but it wasn’t too much trouble with the staff to get a “take out box” to take them home instead. Well despite diets… we were tempted with dessert, there wasn’t much arm twisting, but we had a Crème Brûlée and a Biscoffe Cheesecake that were both as soft and creamy as you like. ❤️ Our waitresses were predominantly Florence and Izzi , but Julie, Boris & Neil were lovely and chatty as always. Not sure who actually cooked /served our meals, but thank you. Definitely a lovely mid week treat. 🥂💐”

“We go for carvery regular here and it has always been lovely. But we were really disappointed last weekend. Maybe the chef was a one off .”

“We visited Wheal Dream for a meal and unfortunately left very disappointed with the food. I ordered the 'crispy sourdough pizza', but the base was completely soft and had the uniform, machine-made look and texture of a pre-made supermarket crust rather than fresh, artisan sourdough. My partner ordered the steak frites, which were advertised as coming with rocket and sweet peppers, but it arrived with just a standard, basic side salad instead. The restaurant wasn't even overly busy, yet we still had to wait 40 minutes for our food to arrive. To the restaurant's credit, the service staff were very friendly, but the kitchen really let things down by cutting corners on the menu descriptions and taking so long when it wasnt that busy. We expected much better quality for the price.”
