The Canteen at Maker Heights

What a place! Just go and you will be amazed by the fantastic food (had a half XL lobster which was brilliant and the cauliflower curry was fabulous as well) and wonderful staff. Highlight of our two week trip through Cornwall😊.

I visited for breakfast, which was lovely. Great quality, although the first time I've ever been served salad in a breakfast sausage sandwich.

The staff are great and really friendly, and if you're sitting outside there's a lovely green view looking out towards the sea.

Well worth a visit.

Stopped here for the amazing views over Kingsand and Cawsand but decided to have a coffee and a slice of lemon drizzle cake, wonderful quirky fantastic use of an old nissen hut converted into a super dog friendly cafe serving what looked like scrumptious breakfasts and lots of other delights. Set nearby the Rame Peninsula and on the Maker Heights campsite, the Canteen is well worth a visit to take in nature at it's best-Wonderful!!

This place is an absolute gem. The staff are amazingly friendly and ehe food is also amazing. We walked up from Cawsand and were really happy with the quality of the food. The decor is great and the atmosphere is chilled. It is quite small so felt quite lucky to walk in and get a seat straight away. We had the vegan and meat breakfast, scone and cream and a couple coffees - all of it was amazing.

Incredible food incredible view awesome service.
Have come here many times over the last few summers and it’s always a highlight. The setting is amazing but the food is what keeps us coming back. The price is so good for the quality and quantity you get. The menu is always changing and the way the lush fresh seasonal flavours are put together with some nice inventive touches you sense the chefs wouldn’t be at all out of place in a wanky Michelin style restaurant but prefer to make awesome honest food in an unpretentious setting . Seems to often be heaving with locals and even when it’s busy you always get service with a smile. I don’t usually go for salads but the beetroot, goats cheese & walnut combo I had there recently was incredible. Wife is veggie too and they had some lush options for her. I really can’t fault it, just wish it was in nearer to home.

****update just returned (2023) it’s BETTER. Food is even better but also the road up to it has been resurfaced and the place has a slightly more refined feel, but without loosing any of its original charm. Can’t praise it or the staff enough

Lovely food with a good selection of locally sourced products. The apple juice is fantastic. The location is very special too, well worth a visit.

A fantastic place to take a break when walking the beautiful Rame peninsula. The food is really lovely and always prepared with care. There's a nice variety too and it's reasonably priced. Inside, the decor is great but if you sit outside you're met with wonderful views from Plymouth Sound around to Looe and west Cornwall and also the moors

Enjoyed a wholesome English fry up here. It was evident that the produce used was quality and local, everything tasted as if it was home made and made with love. The staff were friendly and lovely, the venue is quaint and the views are stunning if you sit outside.

Loved this place, the food is healthy, hearty, and varied. They happily altered what was on the menu for food intolerance. The staff are very friendly and happy to accommodate. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was good. I would definitely recommend it.

We completely loved our visit to the Maker Heights Canteen. The staff were wonderfully welcoming and the service was impeccable. It was such a haven after a long walk on a cold November day and the tasty food was perfect to fortify us for the home stretch. Can’t wait to visit again.

Delicious beetroot quiche and amazing Lemon polenta cake. 🫶😊

My third or fourth lunch at the Canteen at Maker. Sunday lunch today was out of this world: the fresh vegetables and herbs which they grow there are prepared so well by the kitchen team, who work amazingly hard and always with a smile on their faces. The whole place at Maker is going really well at the moment, but the Canteen is something else: best restaurant in the district by a country mile. We ate bass, lamb, nut roast, ceviched fish and beetroot starters. We drank good beer and rosé wine. And we were so full we took the pavlova away with us to have later. This is truly great food - I’ll keep coming back.

Wow, what a hidden gem. I do not want you to find this because I want to be able to get in next time I visit.
Seriously, don't go looking for it unless you booked ahead.
Food was amazing. Beautifully presented and locally sourced. As was the drinks menu.
Service was superb, friendly and professional.
Seating is eccentric in the best way and the views outside are stunning.
I recommend the little local craft shop round the back. A small range but very good.

A great little gem. Long may it last. Initial impression from outside belies what waits inside. Lovely well cooked and presented food. An interesting menue. We will return.

This is a hidden gem, a locals secret. The canteen at maker has some of the best home made and locally produced food in Cornwall. They do a different muffin every day, which never disappoints! Their breakfasts are amazing but their lunch and dinner specials menu is even better. Superb service, in a friendly atmosphere with unique sea views. Great local walks and amazing artworks dotted around. There is something magical about this place that will make you want to come back, again and again.

Fantastic views. Beautiful cafe with great food and great service. Highly recommend a visit.

Came for Birthday lunch yesterday. It was delicious. The pea and mint soup was really tasty, we splashed out on the Bass shared plate and it didn’t disappoint, cooked to perfection! the desserts were delicious- we all ordered a different one and shared. Love the rustic vibe.

Discovered this brilliant place by accident, looking for somewhere that offered Vegan options. It's very unusual, and absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much effort, for either waiting staff or chef. We were so impressed with the food. Top quality food, beautifully presented, and not at bank breaking prices. Best lunch out in ages, and certainly great value for money. We will definitely be going back - and I've been recommending it to everyone who will listen!!!

Great food - plate cleaned! I had the vegan breakfast which came with falafel, tempura fennel & carrot, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes & toast. So delicious and great for any dietary requirements. Lovely service & great coffee too

Lovely views and location. Friendly staff. Great selection for breakfast and lunch. We had breakfast and the quality of the food was amazing.
