"Oh dear. Having passed this place many times we decided we might give it a go. It was sunny and so we sat outside. There is very little space between the café’s curtilage and the pavement, enough room to get in four or five picnic type tables, a couple of which had umbrellas. Otherwise, the area is untroubled by any kind of decoration. The form is that you go inside and order and that they bring your order out to you. Inside I was greeted – or more accurately not greeted by an unsmiling lady whose mood may have been occasioned by the inconvenience of having to break off from her conversation to take an order. Or maybe it was caused by the prospect of doing something about the very visible large pile of used plates and crockery waiting for someone to wash them up. Our coffee arrived fairly promptly accompanied by a rather dismal apricot Danish, which may have been seeing daylight for the third or fourth time that week. The coffee was passable, but in a resort town like Bude the bar is set fairly high and passable doesn’t really do it. I don’t know if the place is run by its owners, but in the unlikely event that they are reading this, here are some tips. Put a bit of thought into making the outside more appealing. If you can afford it, put a palm tree in one of the corners or at very least get some greenery. And while you’re about it, junk those picnic tables. Many of the elderly and the disabled can’t use them and anyway you’re not a country pub. And whether the place is run by you or your staff – smile at the customers. They’ve got what you’re after – money. The catch is they’ve got choice too."

"After a very early start to shoot the dawn down at Porthcurno, a photographer buddy and I were in need of coffee and hearty sustenance. So we drove back up the A30 and through Penzance but nothing was open yet. Then, just as it looked like we 'd have to give in and go for Macky D 's, I remembered seeing a small cafe in a car park overlooking Marazion Bay, so we headed that way. When we pulled up at Jordan 's we were greeted with a welcoming smile and some very good coffee. Then, when we asked about their breakfast fayre, we were offered a variety of tempting choices that was rounded off with the chef 's suggestion of what he called his 'Breakfast Burrito '. The proposition of wrapping locally sourced sausages, bacon, and white pudding in with a fried egg, hash brown and fried mushrooms was just too enticing. So we ordered two and oh my word, what a good call this was!.. I won 't bang on about the incredible flavours, textures and aromas because it would take too long, all I will say is that Jordan 's 'Breakfast Burrito ' is quite simply a thing of beauty! If every now and then, you like a deliciously naughty breakfast, please, please, go and experience this culinary revelation for yourself. I promise you will not be disappointed and the great thing is there 's a fabulous beach walk right on the doorstep. And my word, after you 've indulged in a Breakfast Burrito, you 're going to need it!"

"Stayed here overnight on a business trip today . Booked through a company agent and had a meal booked a room breakfast. On arrival, the parking is somewhat awkward, luckily I bagged a spot directly opposite the pub this is not a pub car park but free parking is available however maybe worth dropping your bags off before parking up in the local area. On entry to the pub I was greeted and shown to my room where my key was laid on the bed, nice room, towels tea coffee, hair dryer and generally a cozy room room 2 . Good wifi also. It was a bit cold so I closed the window wide open in October? , the room radiator was off so turned it up but the heat never came maybe on a timer? I did take this up with the hosts and asked for a portable heater which never came. I was offered a different room very quickly which was lovely Heavy rain and weather in the area at the time, after checking in to the first room, I decided to work from my pc, the room then sprung a leak over the bed, after an hour of being in the room, it became apparent, nothing major but a roof leak. I reported it later and suspected due to it being an old building this was probably a one off leak but did need investigating. A bulb was out on a bed side cabinet, surely this was a room check? A loose toilet seat needed tightening up , and the shower, on ‘it’s hottest setting’ was tepid look warm. Also the central heating was not on, I mentioned this to the manager on shift whom was great and came to see me during my evening meal and made a point of approaching me which was really nice and showed the establishment management where kept informed of issues as guest checked in well done staff! , however a heater never appeared. Later in the evening I resided in my second room, again there was no heating. The girl behind the bar was superb and so apologetic"
