Food Quality
Pros:
"More food than you could possibly eat, had a slice of all the meats every one good cooked to perfection."
"The home-cooked food is extremely good, with a fantastic menu of 29 different specials when we were there!"
"Stunning traditional Cornish Inn that serves great tasting food with Tribute and Proper Job on tap."
"Excellent food and friendly service."
"Forget the steak challenge, for a real Man vs Food experience have the 4 meat carvery."
"Meat was tender and flavorful, gravy perfect, potatoes crisp on the outside and tender within, Yorkshires spongy and absorbent of gravy, veg seasoned with just a touch of nutmeg."
"Succulent meats, and the best roasties Ive ever had in a restaurant. Massive portions and choice of veg."
Cons:
"Only negatives, Chips not nice at all. All soft and cold. Yuk Wine was nasty."
"Chips were a bit strange - very small cut mostly."
"Fish and chips were nice but an unnecessarily large portion which was almost off putting it was so huge."
"The beef was really chewy and the roast potatoes tasted like they had been chilled and rewarmed."
"Food was ok.. veg was undercooked, yorkies were overcooked."
"I had lasagne, unfortunately I didn't enjoy it, after sending the first one back due to there being no pasta in it, the manager was very helpful and offered to get me another one, unfortunately I still didn't like it, this is a personal opinion but I found it tasteless and to be honest it made me feel sick."
"There was an ENORMOUS 'glob' of BBQ sauce on top of the chicken."
Service
Pros:
"Friendly staff who were always happy to help and made us feel very welcome with our dog."
"Highly recommend. We went on a busy night with a wedding in the restaurant yet the service was prompt and the food served quickly."
"All socially distanced well and with Covid procedures in place."
"The staff are very busy but friendly and approachable all the time, ready to help at a moments notice."
"The staff themselves are friendly and lovely, we are privileged to call this our local pub."
"The staff in there are brilliant very kind and helpful."
"The staff were all friendly and welcoming and we were able to enjoy our lunch next to the windows (and the sunshine!)"
Cons:
"The whole lunch time sitting was disorganised chaos with people queuing to get their carvery."
"Waited over an hour for food, (even though we had booked)!"
"Everyone was nice but the service was a let down, we got charged after ordering the mains."
"No one came to check if we were okay."
"The restaurant was so crowded with customers you couldn't even get to the bar to order your meal and drink, the meal was very over priced."
"We had several staff standing over us and talking about how we should be out as our time had almost expired, made us feel really uncomfortable."
"Unfortunately wasn't our best experience. Mix up with the carvery tickets which took 5-10 mins to sort out."
Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed."
"Beautiful location on the moors and the best carvery."
"Perfect location as we were staying at Hallagena cottages just over a mile away."
"Lovely location pubs is everything you look for in a Cornish pub."
"This is what a pub should be. It’s got a really wonderful community feel."
"The building is full of history, great atmosphere and food/drink."
"Such a friendly, welcoming pub! All the team work so hard."
Cons:
"The section they sit you in if you wish to take your dogs is appalling and whatever you do don’t accept table 8 at the back."
"The resuarant is very load at peak times during the carvery."
"Disappointing pint of Exmoor Gold and the table felt grubby."
"The dog friendly dining area was tired and not great when engulf with dry ice from the disco."
"Felt like I was dining in a motorway service station if I'm honest."
"My only Criticism was that it was very busy and loud!"
"Way too many people wedged in especially with covid on the rise again."
