Lovely food, good service great situation facing the harbour, good ambiance. Our ethos is “local is best”, and the menu changes daily according to what is available; our fish is landed right here in Porthleven Harbour, meats are sourced from Vivian Olds and Primrose Herd and we use a selection of local vegetable suppliers.

Highly acclaimed, good food, lovely restaurant. Perfectly positioned on the Harbour Head in the idyllic fishing port of Porthleven, 'Kota is proud to be recognized by the Good Food Guide, the Michelin Guide, Harden’s Restaurant Guide, the Trencherman’s Guide, Square Mealand and the AA (with one Rosette). Kota is also part of Cornish Accredited Restaurants and has been praised many times in both local and national editorials, including The Times and The Telegraph. Kota was named in the Top 50 Summer Restaurants in Britain in August 09, and voted ‘The Big Eat’ in the top 10 pan-Asian eateries July 2008.)'

If you're into shellfish and sea food with an Asian twist you'll love this sister to Kota. Great location overlooking the harbour, great for parties.

Perfect on a sunny day, for tea with scones and delicious ice cream but much more besides while watching the boats bob about in the harbour.

If it's pub food you're after in a great location by the harbour this is the place. We've been lucky to have a good meal here when it was too late to go anywhere else.

We LOVE the SandBar at Praa Sands Beach. Within walking distance of our lodge it offers a wonderful setting overlooking the waves, a great atmosphere, excellent food, good service and sometimes some really good musical entertainment. Sundays with the carvery - very reasonable at £9.50 with a very good nut roast for vegetarians plus a different option for non nut veges. 12.00-3.pm http://www.sandbarpraasands.co.uk/Sandbar

This is the closest shop to the Park, being almost next door to the entrance. It has a small selection of basic needs such as bread, milk, cake, eggs etc as well as newspapers, cards & stationery. Also the post office of course where you can buy stamps, post letters and so on. Opening hours are not great though.
