Beach Restaurant, The Description
Amongst the coastal restaurants springing up round the eleven thousand mile coastline of Britain, The Beach at Sennen Cove has to be one of the best. With stunning views, romantic sunsets and fresh seafood there can be few better places to relax and let the magic of the sea do its work.
A large terrace can be exchanged for the comfort of a spacious interior with armchairs and the same views, minus the weather, when required. There are two menus, day and evening, each reflecting the different character traits of this fine building, as it picks up the mood.
Daytime is a jolly café atmosphere, bare feet, plenty of chatter and no formal menu. Expect to find crab soup, homemade burgers, club sandwiches, baguettes, pizzas and salads. Cornish cream teas are, of course, inescapable no matter how much you retreat into protestations about your figure, and the homemade cakes are off a different planet.
As yet another vivid Cornish sunset rounds off the day, a more conventional menu offers perhaps hot and sour smoked duck, roasted asparagus served with Prosciutto ham and Parmesan shavings, or crayfish tails with Thai butter. Fillet or sirloin of Cornish reared beef comes with your choice of toppings and poached salmon, marinated in olive oil, basil and dill, is topped with a layer of cream cheese, fresh chilli, red onion, basil and crayfish tails, served on a bed of asparagus.
The wine list has plenty of sound material for sturdy beachside drinking whilst contemplating some of the finest coastal scenery in Cornwall - which is saying a good deal.

Duncan (4 June 2009)
We have just returned from half-term holiday in Sennen Cove and had our annual evening meal at The Beach. It's all change. The signage and logos have been changed as well as a really pretty staff uniform. We were greeted by the new restaurant manager, in chatting with her understood that a completely new management team was in place including new Head Chef. The food was always fairly good but I have to say that that on this occasion the food was absolutely out of this world. We had duck which was exquisite and the biggest rib-eye steak. The wine list is now far more extensive with several wines available by the glass including champagne. The waiting staff were fabulous, very professional and efficient. No more pen and paper now using electronic palm tops to take our orders aimed at speeding up service. The service did seem far more formal and attentive than previous years. A great evening, looking forward to next year.

We booked for an evening meal at the Beach Restaurant. The location was beautiful and the interior of the building was very pleasing. The food was good but there were too many flavours thrown together for it to be excellent. Also, the sea bass portions were miniscule - a quarter of a fish per meal! Vegetables were included with the main course, but when they arrived they consisted of a small bowl of potatoes and a small bowl of carrots between six people. It was embarrassing having to ask for more and irritating having to wait for them.
The menu was very expensive, but this would be acceptable if we had experienced fine dining. What also lets the restaurant down is the slow and not very welcoming service, the lack of table cloths, paper napkins rather than linen ones and toilets, which looked as if they had not been cleaned since the morning. The Beach Restaurant operates as a cafe during the day and I think the owner should decide to make up his mind what he wants it to be. Our party felt as if we were paying London prices to sit in an up-market cafe.
