Visitors who have dined at 2 Fore Street have raved about the restaurant on Tripadvisor, praising its delectable food and impeccable service.

One reviewer gushed: "Spoilt for choice on the menu I settled on the Bouillabaisse with garlic croute, it was stunning, one of the best I've ever had."

Another diner echoed this sentiment, saying: "The food is outstanding, we had the twice baked crab souffle and the salt and pepper squid to start followed by seafood risotto and lamb cutlets with samphire. Each dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly using top quality produce."

A third patron wished they had booked a table more than once, writing: "We had read about this place and had a week booked in a cottage in Mousehole. I booked as soon as I could and only wished I'd booked more than once."

However, Mousehole's allure extends beyond gastronomy; its picturesque harbour serves as the heart of the village.

Historically a thriving port, Mousehole witnessed destruction in 1595 when it was razed by Spanish forces.

Commanded by Carlos de Amesquita, approximately 400 soldiers stormed the village amidst the Anglo-Spanish war (1585-1604), leaving almost nothing but devastation in their wake.

The only structure spared was the village , formerly known as the Keigwin Arms, which still stands though no longer serving ale.

A commemorative plaque is affixed, reading: "Squire Jenkyn Keigwin was killed here 23rd July 1595 defending this house against the Spaniards."
