Reviews Summary

Cadgwith Cove Crab is celebrated for its exceptionally fresh seafood, with many praising the delicious crab sandwiches and lobster wraps as highlights. The picturesque village setting enhances the dining experience. However, some visitors have noted limited availability and less than helpful service during busy periods.

"Absolutely stunning fresh seafood.
We order a freshly boiled spider crab and devoured it on the beach like carnivals then went back to out caravan and had their anchovies in garlic oil, prepared crab and octopus salad, all of which were top notch.
Highly recommend this family run fish mongers"

Lisa Woodward

"A lovely little cove village, speckled with thatched cottages.
If visiting, park at the top car park and walk down to the heart of the village, past an attractive offering of houses and a small, still used Chape, bordered by a bucolic landscape.
You will arrive at the cove, a working environment and you will be tempted by fresh crab sandwiches. Don't resist. I didn't. They were delicious.
This a junction for coastal walks, so stop and take it in...A really nice little place."

Douglas Tobutt

"We went to this magical village on Easter Sunday. The village is beautiful, and those sandwiches were out of this world. We had crab sandwich 5⭐️, lobster wrap 5⭐️ and the prawn sandwich 5⭐️. We love seafood, and those sandwiches do not disappoint you. It was delicious to the last bite. Highly recommend.
Thank you."
