"Our tenth dinner visit this year to this remarkable restaurant. The food is at least the equal of many better known, self- publicising, table crowded Cornish restaurants ,some of whom, ludicrously, seem to hold themselves in some sort of hushed awe, with the expectation that you should consider yourself privileged to be allowed to be there ! This restaurant is a delightful, thoughtful, unassuming contrast, and a delight in every way. The service is lovely young, energetic, charming, attentive without intrusion and wonderful with young children. The location is unequalled a cliff siding with uninterrupted panoramic views over Polzeath beach and National Trust cliffs, farm and headland. The atmosphere, unusually for most restaurants, is one of happiness, and is mercifully free from the tiresome, loud , self promoting clientele that infests so many. Children love this place , so go early if you like the sound of children's laughter, and a bit later if you want a more sedate atmosphere . Either way, this restaurant is wonderful in every way."

Food was good but not exceptional; price of menu in restaurant was higher than that shown on line; position/views exceptional and service was excellent.

Great location, with wonderful views over Polzeath beach and out to sea. Great fun buzzy atmosphere and there's even a dressing up box for you to try Food excellent. Great selection if you're a seafood fan; and why would you choose to go to The Cracking Crab if you aren't Loved the monk fish, and popcorn shrimp moorish as ever. We'll be back whenever we're back in North Cornwall

another week in polzeath. we decided to eat at the crumbing, it is the super location, the sea and the surf! all that was missing was the sun, but that is cornwall for them. its facility is relaxed color full and friendly. we had popcorn garnel to begin, then a casulet of skallops bohnen and chorizo, for me, for him. eating is good, but not cheap, we had a great meal then went down the cliff way back to the polzeath beach. will go back

we celebrated here a birthday dinner and absolutely loved it and cannot wait to go back. we parked on the beach for free and followed the signs along the coast path, a minute to foot and flat. the cracking crab has a funny, relaxed feeling and the decor reminded us of a recent trip to san francisco with all the crabs. the food was excellent and much of it, the service was also exactly right, sometimes we have hurried, but not here it was perfect timing. this is our new favorite if you can.
