Cornwall Street Fish Bar voted best brunch venue in Plymouth
"Reviewers say the atmosphere is 'relaxing' and the breakfasts are 'good quality and extremely good food and drinks.'. One person said: "On a brief visit to Plymouth, we popped in to Jolly Jacks for Sunday brunch. They serve breakfast until 11.30am and their traditional breakfast was exceptional. They also offer vegetarian options and a great choice of hot drinks. "The wood burning stove added some warmth although the sun was also shining, so created a very cosy ambience. The seaside theming and decor was lovely and fresh, enhanced with the outside sea view!"

"Royal William Yard is my absolute favourite place to sit, it’s so chill and I just love being in the heart of the yard. There’s so many other places to choose from to eat that you can get a main in one then head over to Seco for a dessert and drinks. It’s one of the best places to sit with a drink, friends and watch the sunset too."
