The Greenhouse came highly recommended and as I work and stay in St Keverne during the week it is fantastic to have such a quality restaurant on the doorstep.
The food is superb, the setting is informal and very friendly. It is always worth booking ahead if you can, although I have got lucky a couple of times just turning up on the night.
If you are in the area it is well worth a visit, actually it is worth a visit even if you are not that local!
Even as I write this review, I have just decided to try and book a table for tonight!

Another superb and perfect meal at The Greenhouse. Everything served in the restaurant is local and bursting with flavour. Five of us chose different dishes for each course and each was exquisite.
Neil is wonderfully professional, friendly and calm at front of house while Leonie works magic in the kitchen.
Booking is advisable but you might just be lucky if a table is turned early. A must for any trip to the area.

Perfect Wedding Buffet. After much researching on the Internet for caterers for our winter wedding in Cornwall we stumbled across this small business and after speaking with them about the menu they would be able to create for our wedding we were delighted at the quality of the menu that they could offer for our relatively humble budget. The owners Neil and Leonie were incredibly nice on the phone and when we later met them at the quaint little restaurant in St Keverne we knew we had made the right choice, they were genuinely excited for us and hugely passionate about their quality of food as well as excited at the service they were to provide us with. On the wedding day we and the guests were overwhelmed by the amazing food, a huge spread of delicious cold buffet food, with extravagance as well as just great wholesome Cornish produce. Neil and Leonie made sure that the buffet looked beautiful through out the dinner and left a real nice impression on the guests. There was actually too much food, so my wife and I had a freezer full of delicious food to eat after our honeymoon!! I can not recommend ‘The Greenhouse Organic Restaurant’ enough as we were absolutely delighted with every element of the service which we received, and on top of that, what a nice pair of people to have helping out on your wedding day.

We first came here after diving at Porthkerris and were recommended by our coeliac friend who had found it the evening before. The 4 of us returned and had a wonderful meal , great wine , exemplary service and very reasonable price. Our coeliac friend watched us munch the fresh bread and oil enviously and was delighted when a corn tortilla was brought out for her. Much appreciated.Our next trip to Porthkerris was cancelled due to bad weather but we drove to the Lizard from Warwick to keep our Saturday night reservation . Again the food was excellent , we shared a fresh mackerel to start , then I had Sea Bass and my husband Pork . Delicious.We overheard the next table saying that the fishcakes were the best they had tasted and we believed it. Wish we lived closer...

I have eaten at this restaurant many times and until my last visit have been very pleased with the food and service. However my last visit with my wife was on a busy Saturday in late August. Perhaps too busy.
The starters of mackerel & soup were very good. However that was followed by a one and a half hour wait until the main course arrived.
My wife had the steak which was well done rather than medium but more importantly was so rubbery that you could have bounced it. It was accompanied by a mushroom jus which had been over reduced and was very bitter. My own slow roast Pork was also accompanied by the same appalling jus. Presumably that was all that was left.
I may try the restaurant again on a non-busy day but I am unsure about that.

We were on holiday and a local farmer recommended the Greenhouse Organic Restaurant. We were certainly not disappointed. Superb choice, wonderful food. The Monk fish curry was excellent.

We discovered The Greenhouse because we were holidaying in the Lizard area and my wife has a gluten allergy - The Greenhouse was on her list of places that offers gluten-free. It was a revelation! The place was buzzing, a really nice atmosphere, the food was superb and generous and the service excellent. They make their own breads and everything is organic. We will definitely return next time we are in that area.

Went to the Greenhouse twice on recent trip to Lizard Pennisula, food was delicious and sensibly priced, best of all as a coeliac I could every mouthful of the delicious Sunday lunch and tempting dessert. Went back on Wednesday night to have Gluten free fish and chips, and discovered not only do they bake their own bread but they also bake delicious gluten free rolls so I could have bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip. Will go back as often as possible

We have eaten at the Greenhouse several times over the last 6 months and have found the food to be exceptionally good on each occasion. Portions are very generous. Ambience is pleasant and service is good and friendly. We will definitely be going back and have no hesitation in recommending it.

This restaurant is an inspiration. We have visited it several times over the last two years - whenever we go to the Lizard. The food is always delicious and serves both unexpected delights as well as good reliable organic meals. The service is warm and hospitable. It is a very popular place and therefore wise to book.
