The Journeyman Restaurant
Did you know? The Journeyman was voted in The Independent Newspaper's survey of the top 50 restaurants to eat curry in the UK! We're the only non-Indian Restaurant to feature in the Cobra Good Curry Guide and are Trip Advisor's Number 1 rated restaurant for Indian food in Cornwall. Have you ever wondered why your home-cooked curries don't quite taste like those in a restaurant?

We're ideally placed for that special night out, a family occasion, or just a chilled evening with friends. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of our restaurant's mill dining room on long summer evenings or cosy winter nights. The Journeyman's extensive menu offers something for everyone with over 40 dishes selected from the world's finest cuisines.
Services
Relaxation - Dining out should above all be a pleasurable and unhurried experience, therefore we only have a single sitting after 7pm tables are yours for the entire evening. In order to disappoint as few customers as possible any table booked between 6pm and 6.45pm may need to be returned a minimum of 2 hours later during busy periods.

We recently had a meal here whilst on honeymoon! Stunning food! Stunning location! Brilliant service!
We feel this is the best Indian food we've had anywhere and cannot recommend the restaurant highly enough!!!

Unusual restaurant out in the sticks and based in part of an old house.
Food excellent from start to finish. We had Indian, but I expect the Thai and Chinese will be great too.

A must visit as least 3 times every year whilst on holidays. The best curry we have ever had. Food and service is the best.

Must visit if you’re in North Cornwall. The food was excellent. The staff very friendly, providing superb service. Restaurant quaint and relaxing. I’m sure we’ll revisit when down this way next!

Staying near Padstow for a few days, we had a meal at The Journeyman Restaurant at St Issy. We can definitely recommend this restaurant. It is small and cosy, the food is amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Nothing is to much for them. It is also reasonably priced. Can’t recommend it enough.

We booked the restraunt for 4 people, then we got send a time to arrive. Once we arrived we found our way into a small bottom floor of an old Mill, there where only 6 seats in the restaurant. The place was so cosy and had some great charm; but the real standout was the food, the Indian we has was some of the best, truly special; I would definitely recommend this for someone looking for a cute and amazing experience!

The Journeyman Restaurant - Mellingey Mill - St Issey - North Cornwall 16/02/17.
The car park is on rough ground and badly lit, and there is some distance to walk to the restaurant which includes a couple of steps, so not too good for those with any form of mobility issues.
There is adequate parking for the small number catered for at any one time.
The restaurant was lit with candles providing an atmospheric ambience.
However the heating was barely adequate to cope with drafts on a February evening.
I ordered a red Thai chicken curry with special Thai rice which contained ginger, coconut and

Really good meal which suited all three of our palates. Great service and nice to see the chef come out to talk to us. I'd certainly go back and have no hesitation in recommending this small and excellent Restaurant.
