"I've been visiting the St Merryn area of Cornwall for over years, Mrs C. and I had our honeymoon at Porthcothan in but we'd never visited Rafferty's until this week. We were pleased that we were able to take Nev, the medium sized ginger dog, with us and he was equally pleased not to be left at home sulking. A warm welcome, was followed by Nev getting ear rubs and dog biscuits, he was a happy puppy! For one reason or another I find eating full meals to be a bit of a challenge these days, so we ordered off the started menu and shared. Deep fried oysters, scallops, prawns, roasted beetroot (I hate beetroot, but this was lovely padrons, and fried halloumi. (Like I said, I can't eat big meals Everything was cooked perfectly, probably slightly too many padron's but that was our fault.We'll be back next time we visit."

We had the most beautiful meal with excellent service. Would highly recommend Rafferty’s. Our dog was also made welcome with treats and a water bowl at the table! Perfect end to our holiday

From walking in to leaving everyone was welcoming to us and the dog. You can tell when somewhere is truly dog friendly when they bring you a water bowl without being asked and make as much fuss of the dog as they do the humans! Food was excellent and service was second to none. Atmosphere was perfect in the restaurant too. Will definitely go back next time we’re down here.

This is the first time we have been to Raffertys , but will certainly return. The service was efficient , friendly and helpful. They made us extremely welcome with our small dog. The food was absolutely excellent, especially the fillet steak, which was perfect. The whole vibe is relaxed and cheerful but also efficient and professional. We will be back next time we are in Cornwall .

After a bit of searching in the Padstow area we came across this gem. Service was top notch, even a bowl of water and a biscuit for our dog. Food was amazing, half a lobster which was cooked to perfection and a steak which again was perfect, can highly recommend Rafferty’s and will certainly return again when we can. Price also very reasonable, stay away from being ripped off in Padstow and come here instead.

We have a hoilday home in St merryn and we stay in Cornwall most weeks. We have visted raffertys on many occasions and it never disappionts. Great menu, food absolutely spot on, service amazing and you can see the kitchen staff cooking your meal and it was lovely to hear them all chatting and laughing. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting. Would recommend booking welldone eveyone who works there 10/10

Rafferty's Cafe was on our list to try during a short trip to North Cornwall. Pleasant, bubbly owner, good food I had prawn Caesar Salad' (the preferred shrimps per menu were unavailable) pretty basic, but then a well cooked Hake Loin with chorizo. Mrs CG had the signature Rockpool which she much enjoyed. Slightly soulless table against the corner wall in an all but empty corridor position out of the main buzzy area. Was good' and we enjoyed our evening

We had an exceptional evening meal at this restaurant. The staff were welcoming and the main restaurant was spacious, well-lit, and beautifully decorated. The menu offered a variety of options at very reasonable prices, including the drinks. I started with the crispy oysters with clotted cream, which was one of the best starters I've ever had. For the main course, I had the Rump of Lamb and my wife had the Crusted Hake, both of which were delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area - you won't be disappointed.

Booked weeks in advance and our table wasn’t ready. Waited 45 mins for starters. Rarebit that was burned and wings that were dry. Didn’t eat them and they were immediately taken from the bill. Both had fillet for main. Beautiful meat cooked internally to perfection but the char grilling was either too hot or the grill wasn’t that clean. It was so chargrilled it tasted a bit acrid. The host was a great chap and so busy, probably too busy. I think if everyone else there worked as hard or had as much pride then it would be much better.

We had an outstanding family meal here. The moment we went in we were made to feel welcome and at home! The staff are first class, the service is impeccable and the food, well, not a clean plate to be seen! The steak seafood and kids meals were delicious! I would also recommend the “snapper rock” (I think it was called) Sauvignon wine! Might I also add my other half struggles with heart burn and the lovely owner/boss recommended a cure, it worked! Honestly nothing is too much trouble for these beautiful people! It’s a 10 from me! Thanks so much for your attentive attitude and amazing food! Xx
