The Old School - Menu

Well prepared, tasty food, in an old school converted to a nice hotel, and is really nicely decorated to reflect its history. The service was friendly and efficient.

We arrived in Port Isaac on Saturday, May 27, 2023, around 3:30 PM. We had driven from Avebury that morning and encountered heavy traffic along the way. Unaware that it was a major holiday weekend, we arrived feeling very tired but still eager to...

Second visit to this restaurant : Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff , great service and superb food . Had the crab nachos to start , Pork Burger with hoisin for main and Crème Brûlée for dessert- all offered amazing flavours- thank you for a lovely meal.

Our second and third time here this week, the first was a couple of years ago. RGreat restaurant….good food, try The Hake, very tasty, good ambiance, good service and a great taste in music that played in the background. Why pay £100’s at a Michelin star eatery when you could have a great evening at the old school house!!

We have been to this restaurant multiple times and, as always, both the service and food were fantastic. While it may not be the most upscale or fancy dining spot, the food is of top-notch quality, homemade, and served with attention to detail. The bar is cozy with a variety of drinks and coffee options. The dining area is charming and makes for a pleasant evening out. The menu offers a good selection to suit different tastes. We also had breakfast with friends here, which was delightful and reasonably priced.

Firstly the hotel. It certainly wasn't cheap, but I had a good night's rest, and it is a very nice place to stay, with comfy room, very nicely repurposed from its school, and in a good location. I had to rush breakfast based on how late it opened, so definitely didn't get the best of that. In terms of the restaurant, the food was delicious. I had the crab tacos to start, which sounded unusual but were stunningly good. The Goan fish curry was equally good, and disappeared in a flash. Service was very friendly, and overall highly recommended.

Not impressed, wrong food brought out, was told by person behind bar it was definitely what I ordered, argued with me she was right I was wrong, I asked for refund of difference in price,anyway, food was returned and I got what I ordered. Food average ,sea dog battered fish was greasy and not hot, I was dubious to eat warm fish, chips obviously frozen and not that nice. All food over priced for what it was. Two of the three staff seen were not friendly and absolutely no customer service training. Unless you are a local they are not interested in visitors, well that's impression I got. Please have a look at how you treat people, whatever happened to the customer is usually right? Will not ret...

We had a fantastic experience at The Old School House. We made a reservation for dinner on a quiet Sunday night and were welcomed warmly, feeling very comfortable. The hake dish was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly with a wonderful blend of flavors. We enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second visit on Tuesday, even though the restaurant was quite busy. We also stopped by for cocktails a few times and found them to be both affordable and tasty. The atmosphere was more relaxed and cozy compared to other options in the village, though we appreciated those as well. On our last morning, we visited for breakfast after discovering our original choice was no longer serving due to the e...

We came here on a whim after failing to get into the pub down the road and we were not disappointed. My friend was hobbling a bit on a pair of crutches and a wheelchair and when I explained this, they were so accommodating to put us up in the lower bar and make sure we were comfortable. The menu was a bit limited for a veggie there was just one option for my friend and I, as a pescatarian, was much better catered for. However, the staff were, again, really accommodating to her request and they made sure she had something she wanted to eat. The men had the pork burgers, which disappeared quite quickly, whilst I had the hake. It was DE LICIOUS! Absolutely fab. My only gripe was they didn’t do...
