love Market way cafe. I'm there every day for breakfast or lunch. Lovely atmosphere, Scrumptious food and lovely people works there. The staff are some of the kindest and friendliest people you’ll ever meet, the food is home cooked and the atmosphere there making it home from home. Food and chat for absolutely moderate price, and for as little as an extra £1.50 you'll get a drink and a pudding beside the tasty roast. Handsome. Go there, try it, you'll love it.

The Marketway Café is in Redruth town centre, almost hidden within the quaint indoor Market and newly revamped Buttermarket. The very friendly staff efficiently serve well cooked hot and cold food at very reasonable prices. We both opted for the delicious roast of the day which was Lamb, served with carrots, green beans, cauliflower, parsnip, broccoli, swede, cabbage, mashed potato and a roast potato all topped with gravy and a Yorkshire pudding, phew! It also came with a drink (we chose mugs of tea) and a choice of desserts, we had sticky toffee puddings and ice cream. All this for £9 per person! It is easy to see why the Marketway Café is always so popular with both local and visiting customers. We will definitely be going back soon.
