Indian Muscles & muscles mariners mariner so tasty and succulent
Half shell scallops with sausage extremely generous amount.
Lovely whole sea bass perfectly cooked.
Not over seasoned (some chefs are way to liberal with salt)
Pudding was again really good.
This is a firm favourite for breakfast everytime we are in padstow. The food is delicious and the staff are super friendly and helpful. What makes it for us is the view you get of the harbour. We've always gone early and out of prime holiday season, bit we've found it a very relaxing spot.
Only had breakfast but the evening menu looks good.
We've got a food allergy in our group and they have always been very accommodating. Really knowledgeable about their menu and don't mind all the questions!
Really fantastic food, perfect if you are looking g for a nice meal/lunch during a visit to Padstow Harbour.
I went for the cod curry, really fantastic good quality food. Tasted amazing and fresh/clean.
Would definitely recommend here :)
I have been here many times over the years but since it has been the “mussel box” I fear it’s a bit hit and miss. The food is “good” and service “good” but it’s not much more than that.
I’ve experienced that if you come at off peak times, as we have in October this time, the menu options are a bit lacklustre and the outside glass dining space was freezing.
My partner had a whole hake which was very skinny, and hard to find much to actually eat on the plate.
The starters however were gorgeous!
I don’t doubt this place has good food and service, i just don’t think it’s one I will return to as there are definitely better option in Padstow .
Lovely location, nice staff, and quick service. Food was excellent.
We had mussels in South Indian sauce and crab tacos. Mussels were quite exceptional and great value.
Excellent local mussels and local wine. Relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very pleasant and efficient.
Was pretty full when we arrived and easy to see why.
Stopped off for a late breakfast this morning (15th May).
Lovely bit of grub, and service was perfect.
Going back tonight for evening meal 😊😊
We had a very enjoyable meal here at the Mussel Box, I've never received SO many mussels, and with Zero bad ones!
The triple cooked chips are delicious and wished it came with a few more, but I did leave feeling extremely satisfied.
A perfect send off for our last day,
And Dog friendly too!
Excellent food and excellent service. Its a must for a meal out in padstow.
Only negative to raise that our starter of prawns and squid, the kitchen had ran out of squid so had extra prawns to compensate. Ideally, would have been told prior as an alternative might have been picked.
We ate here twice on our recent visit to Padstow. Dinner was lovely, although the mussels weren’t as great as I would expect given the name. The service was a bit slow and lacklustre at times. We then returned for breakfast on a wet morning and it was absolute carnage - it was clearly understaffed, which meant service was slow and coffees were rubbish. Our main issue however was that kids completely took over the place - they were stood on the furniture in their wet shoes, running up and down the narrow walkway and parents spread out their wet coats and belongings as though they own the place which made it very unpleasant for other diners - we finished our food and left asap. I understand the staff were young and may not have wanted to say anything to the other diners, but it was really unpleasant for everyone else and meant I wouldn’t go back there for fear of it happening again.
