Our Story

Where the coast path meets the kitchen

Nestled in a beautifully restored 19th-century Methodist chapel on Roscarrock Hill, The Chapel offers a dining experience unlike any other in Port Isaac.

Chef-patron Martin Perkins prepares everything fresh on site daily. From scones baked warm throughout the day to Cornish fish goujons that visitors rate above nearby celebrity restaurants, our kitchen delivers food that exceeds expectations. The chapel's original organ and wooden pews create an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else.

Dog friendly.

I've eaten at Rick Stein's, Paul Ainsworth's — and I'd rate this food above theirs. I have no idea why this place isn't packed every night.

The food is more than 10 out of 10. Special mention for Martin the chef — he's a genius in the kitchen. We will keep coming back.

Google Review · 2025

By far the best place we found to eat on our week's stay in Cornwall. The bouillabaisse was so delicious — fresh and beautifully cooked.

TripAdvisor · 2025

We received a very warm welcome and the fish pie was delicious. The chapel has been tastefully adapted without losing its character.
