Food poisoning. Me and my boyfriend went to the Shack (Falmouth) for lunch yesterday. Everything seemed fine and we left happy. But few hours later we both started to feel unwell, tiredness, headache, nausea and eventually vomiting and diarrhoea. We haven’t been able to eat anything since, the symptoms persist today and we are feeling body pain.
We had mussels and the special of the day( baked dressed crab with mustard and Parmesan cheese, two ingredients very rich in flavour that could cover off taste in the crab?)
Definitely not going for a special seafood dish ever again.

Excellent service and stunning seafood!! Our waiter Max was brilliantly resourceful. Booking ahead is a must.
After trying to eat here on our first wander around Falmouth and to find it fully booked, we went online and found a table at lunch time a few days later. Result!
Super glad we went as the food was stunning. My friends had the crab sandwich and I had the dressed Cornish crab - freshly caught that morning. I had no idea dressed crab could taste that good. It was perfect!
Being a little hungover we asked if they served Bloody Mary's and thankfully Max our waiter had a winning recipe at

Great restaurant in a lovely dock area of Falmouth. Make sure to book in advance as it's very small inside. They had a specials menu with a fish of the day and crabs. Our fish of the day was raywing and it was beautifully cooked and came with lots of veg. We had the scallops and the beetroot arancini for starters which were both delicious but small in portion size and the arancini could have had more cheese in! We tried the bacon and haddock chowder which was very tasty and filling! The fish and chips were very good and a good sized portion.

After reading the reviews we booked a table for lunch.
Lovely and delicious Chowder however for the size of the chowder ( quiet big) one slice of bread.....
Prawns were quiet good too.
Sadly a lot of things were sold out in the menu on the boards inside.
Kids menu quiet nice, have to say the fish finger were delicious really good portion.
Definitely book before you go and I wonder if Lunch is a good idea as a long of things were sold out like crabs, lobster etc... so maybe evening may have better selection? Also it's quiet small inside so it's busy very fast hence you need to book!

What a treat! We came to the Shack for our 7th wedding anniversary and had the best time. The fish was excellent...squid, scallops, prawns, oysters, crabs, muscles...all were amazing. A lovely atmosphere with welcoming, friendly staff. Reasonably priced considering the quality of the food. You have to book, we watched so many people being turned away. Thank you for a great experience. We highly recommend a visit :)

An absolutely brilliant experience! My partner and I had the oyster, dressed crab with salad and aioli sauce, and the haddock and chips which were absolutely delicious. You could tell the ingredients were freshly prepared and the dishes were full of flavour. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Good value for money. Would come back again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
