    Family occasion, all enjoyed the food and left clean plates. Pizzas, filet o’fish burger and Guinea fowl were delicious. Great advice from the waitress re vegan options, the vegan meal was superb. Great service, lovely atmosphere as usual. Been a few times, will be back again.

    very varied choice of cocktails, good cuisine and excellent service. However, I expected a more relaxed atmosphere, the environment in the restaurant for louder conversations and drinking

    We visit St Ives every year on holiday and have always had drinks in Host as it is a beautiful place, this time we made sure to book in for a Sunday roast and it was fantastic, all delicious! Cocktails and drinks selection were also great and the service was excellent! Our puppy was also made to feel very welcome, they made sure she had water and even gave her some treats! We would definitely recommend and come again!

    We really enjoyed Sunday lunch at Host. The roast beef was excellent and all the veg attractively presented in little pots. Good red wine, friendly attentive service and a relaxing atmosphere. We will be back.
