"We visited the Lifeboat House twice whilst in Coverack, once for fish and chips (and Curry! and also sat in the reaturant. The fish and chips was good as was the homemade curry. The real winner was the dirty burgers. We visited on an afternoon the resturant was quiet and all went for the burger option although this was a tough choice as the menu had lots of delicious options. We were advised by staff all food is cooked to order so may take a little while, this wasn't a problem as we wnjoyed a drink and the children were given crayons and colouring books. When the burgers arrived they were huge, so much so I struggled to finish it all. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, especially the blonde Kiwi waitress (apologies can't remember names! If we are back in coverack we will be back to try some of the other options on the board."

Had a 3 course meal here. All the food served was delicious and generous portions. There’s fantastic views from all tables. The service was great, all staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

I am often surprised when people write glowing reviews about fish and chips. As I need gluten free it is something I almost never eat. We were out walking today and came across this place. To my amazement they offered gluten free wonderful fish and...

Visitors rave about the fish and chips at the Lifeboat House (and so they should), but this fabulous little restaurant in Coverack Harbour offers SO much more. Thank you Mark, Senta and the whole team for an amazing Christmas meal last night, a great way...

This restaurant is very charming, with a breathtaking view of Coverack Cove. We were even fortunate enough to see dolphins today! The food and service were both excellent. I would definitely recommend this place. They accept contactless payment, but it's a good idea to bring cash if you plan on leaving a tip.

The Lifeboat House restaurant in Coverack is outstanding. The Chowder is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are lovely. There are many options on the menu to choose from. It's a bit of a trek across Cornwall but definitely worth it. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining, creative cuisine, a cozy atmosphere, great food and desserts, scenic views, a large menu, and generous portions.

We did a lovely coastal walk arriving in Coverack mid afternoon so we were pleased to find this Fish Chip takeaway was open all afternoon. No queue (probably as 3pm isn't a popular time to eat!! and felt the F C's were cooked to order, they tasted fresh and lovely crispy chips. Pleased to see I could get Gluten free and they offered GF vinegar as well if wanted. We ate on the harbour wall (not pestered by seagulls surprisingly but there are tables inside out too. Only negative was sachets of ketchup you had to buy which gets a big eco thumbs down (we planned ahead had a mini heinz with us .

"So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!"
