Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Neighborhood gem

Ingredients:
- One lovingly restored 19th century bank;
- Fifteen creative small plates full of flavour;
- Toped by three larger plates to show the chef's skill;
- Nine hand stretched, woodfired pizzas made with long fermented dough top with only the best ingredients.

Mix the above with great selection of quality Cornish beers and spirits and fold it carefully with a loving wine selection.

Turn the oven to exceptional service and bake it with a great big smile.

Serve it with friends and a double helping of good company!

The Host is honestly one of my all time favourite restaurants. It has everything you want - a beautiful environment with spectacular decor, the most incredible service from Rassie and his team and the food is just outstanding. The wine and cocktails are expertly chosen and they always know what to suggest. I can't recommend the Host enough.

Fantastic cocktails - proper ingredients and properly made. Pizza was average - not crisp and could have been more generous with toppings and cheese. Nice ambience and atmosphere.

Dear Madam, Many thanks for the feedback. We will look into both points you mentioned in your review as we are focused on eventually delivering some of the best pizzas out there and sincerely apologise that this was not your experiance.

A fantastic Sunday lunch for 4. The service was outstanding, with any requests happily catered for by the amazing waiting team. The food was excellent, and enjoyed by everyone in our party. Good portion sizes, and excellent quality food. Roast beef was a particular triumph. Great choice of drinks and desserts too. We were very fortunate to be located on a quieter table to help our groups needs by the team. This is somewhere to add to anyone’s list.

Superb food, with a menu that suited me. Delicious vegetarian dishes, that weren’t too spicy. Great service on the two occasions we visited this week. Very friendly. There was a noisy group in last night, but they quickly moved us to a quieter area, and on Sunday it was lovely. A very good restaurant.

Great service accompanied by great food what more do you need. Ate on a Wednesday and was given a free glass of red which was very nice and not cheap rubbish as one may have expected, have eaten in many restaurants in StIves and this is by far the best so far.
