But did you know there are lots of fantastic burger joints too? If you fancy a big bite while enjoying a luxury family holiday in Cornwall, here are some of the best burger joints to visit in the county.
Hubbox, Truro, Pentewan and St Ives

The menu is American street food inspired, and the award-winning burgers are made in house using Cornish beef and complimented by a range of craft beers. The variations will have your mouth watering just by reading the menu!
The Meat Counter, Falmouth
In Falmouth, you can find The Meat Counter amongst the seafood restaurants. The restaurant serves up some of the best American-style food found in Cornwall, with the burgers cooked fresh to order and enjoyed with a craft beer or two. The sides are excellent too, the skin-on fries being something we recommend. There are some tasty vegetarian options too!
Craftworks, Truro and Padstow
Padstow has a long of fabulous eateries, including Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, but if you are after burgers, head to Craftworks. The restaurant began as a food truck, popping up at events such as Boardmasters and the Masked Ball. Craftworks Street Kitchen has since become very popular with locals and visitors alike and has expanded from Truro to another outlet in Padstow. If you don’t fancy a burger, they also serve nachos, tacos and burritos.
