Reviews Summary

Cargo is praised for its delicious comfort food, particularly its burgers, served in generous portions that leave diners very full. The casual, outdoor harbor-side atmosphere is a highlight, although seating is weather-dependent. The food is consistently rated highly, with friendly and efficient service.

"Visiting the area we were wanting to stop off for some dinner last night. We spotted Cargo as we walked past and decided to try it. My husband went in to order and my daughter and I went to find a seat around the side of the unit. The Chef was on his break at a table and I asked him if we could sit at the tables. Yes of course he said and also told us there were tables inside.
I asked if he was going to cook my tea for me and he asked what we were ordering. He then went straight inside to start cooking. I now think that Chef was the owner of the business.
The staff were polite and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were good and the food was hot.
We had a halloumi burger, buttermilk chicken burger and a nacho burger. All plentiful and very filling.
As I left I thanked the Chef and the girls who were working there. Sadly it's too far from home to visit regularly but if I lived nearby then I would."

"Last day on holiday, and Cargo hit the spot! Amazing food! The Bacon cheese burger had incredible taste and was cooked perfectly. The fries had great seasoning as well.
10/10 would recommend! Will definitely be back next holiday!"

Patrick Reed

"Cargo is a fantastic little spot right on Porthleven Harbour, perfect if you’re craving proper comfort food. The menu focuses on hearty classics β€” burgers, ribs, and hot dogs β€” and they do them really well. The beef burger was juicy and full of flavour, while the chicken burger came with quite a kick (definitely on the spicy side, so worth noting if you’re not into heat). The ribs were rich and satisfying, and everything feels freshly prepared.

Seating is all outdoors, which adds to the casual harbour-side vibe, but keep in mind it’s very weather dependent. Overall, a great place for tasty fast food with a relaxed atmosphere β€” ideal for grabbing a bite while enjoying the view."
