View of St Ives

After a long day basking in the warm glow of the Cornish summer sun, an evening spent cooking in front of a hot oven can often be the furthest thing from your mind.

But never fear, when cooking for yourself holds no appeal, there are plenty of wonderful options for St Ives takeaway food. And we’re not just talking about your standard chain restaurants, although we have got plenty of those dotted around St Ives. 

Cornwall is a foodie destination for a reason; along with wonderful fresh ingredients right on our doorstep, our county is also home to some of the country’s top chefs cooking up fantastic dishes. 

But, you don’t need to go for a sit-down meal in a high-end restaurant to get a true taste of Cornwall. There is a bustling independent restaurant and cafe scene in Cornwall with many offering takeaway menus. Meaning, no matter where you are around the county, you’re never far from an amazing takeaway experience. 

What could be better on a warm summer evening than enjoying some delicious food from a local eatery accompanied by fantastic views of the West Cornwall coast?
