Tips for Takeaways in St Ives
Check opening hours: Many places open later in the day, perfect for dinner after the beach. Summer can be busy, so double-check ahead.
Order ahead if possible: Popular takeaways like ONZO, Blas, and Chilitos can get crowded, especially in peak season.
Pick your picnic spot wisely: Harbour walls, beach sand, or a quiet cobbled street — all excellent spots to enjoy your takeaway feast.
