The Lifeboat House Restaurant at Helston

The Lifeboat House Restaurant at Helston, 2025/26 Good Food Award winner – Gold Seal.

Nestled in the heart of the charming Cornish fishing harbour of Coverack, on the picturesque Lizard Peninsula, we are proud to call a lovingly restored, historic lifeboat station home – just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge.

At the front of our building, you’ll find a delightful fish and chips takeaway, serving up a selection of freshly cooked, top-quality dishes. Whether you’re perched at one of our outdoor tables or lounging on the sun-kissed harbour walls, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a classic seaside treat.

Round the back, our bright and airy bar and restaurant offer a cosy space for up to 30 guests, complete with breathtaking views over the lifeboat slipway and across the bay towards the iconic Manacles. It’s the ideal setting for a relaxing meal with a view. The quickest and easiest way to book a table in our restaurant is by giving us a call.
