The Tywarnhayle Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food such as Eggs, Onion Rings and Meat were all cooked brilliantly and all very tasteful."
• "Food was delicious, really enjoyed the carvery."
• "One of the best Sunday Dinners me and my family have had in a long time. Everything was fresh and tasty and plenty of."
• "The fish was top notch. Crispy skin and lovely and hot."
• "Beautiful food. Fish was super fresh. Chilli was amazing. Good portion sizes and piping hot."
• "Probably the best meal I had in Perranporth. The pork was absolutely delicious."
• "The Carvery was fantastic. Meat was tender and cooked to perfection, wide variety of veg and sides."

Cons:

• "Fish and chips were not good. Frozen/oven chips, the fish was disappointing because it was a good fillet with good thin crispy batter but it was frozen and reheated/ deep fried."
• "Waited 45 minutes for our expensive evening meal. When it came out it was terrible. My chicken tower burger literally had no taste."
• "For £16! I wouldn't waste your money.. you could do better at home for less."
• "The award winning pasty was a major disappointment being limp as if it had been under warming lamps and very little in the way of meat."
• "Eggs were overdone, chips were oversalted, ham was dry, peas were microwaved (unconfirmed)."
• "Very poor quality, not well cooked, flavourless carvery."
• "The vegetables had obviously been stewing for a while and there were no green options such as peas or broccoli."

• "Staff were very friendly and attentive."

• "One member of staff kept rushing about and then openly huffed and moaned when service was requested on her radio."
• "We mentioned it to the manager and he just laughed it off, wasn't too impressed with his response!"

Cons:

• "So I'm highly disappointed of this place and AVOID AT ALL COST!"
• "While I love dogs there were so many of them in, some lying on the seats which I don't like. There was a lot of barking and jumping up of dogs in the already crowded table areas. Wasn't a relaxing visit."
• "The table where we was sat clearly has not been cleaned. The chairs was filthy and as mentioned full of dog hairs."
• "Also where we was sat there was mould on the wall next to where we was sat again I find these conditions poor whilst eating."
• "Will never come back, after recommending this place to family and friends after years of great food and service I will be telling people to not waste their time and hard earned money."
• "We wasn't told it would take more than 1 hour 15 mins for the food to arrive."
• "The fish and chips was awful, more batter than fish, the chips were frozen ones and so dry!"

Value for Money

Pros:

• "This place is very reasonably priced, and we were happy until we watched a chap called Ollie Lleys, the Duty Manager handle food."
• "Huge portions of fantastic food, brilliant carvery dog and child friendly."
• "Food was great and the atmosphere was really nice."
• "Tempted in by the amount of dairy free options on the outside menu, great to see the allergens all on there."
• "Food was delivered quickly, all of good quality (especially the seafood tagliatelle), large portions and good value for money."
• "Called in on off chance for a table for two for Sunday carvery. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food divine. £26 for two medium plates and two pints, terrific value and definitely worthy of another visit."
• "The food was very good, with good portion sizes very reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "Spent over £80 for 3 adults and a 3 year old. Awful is the only word."
• "For £16! I wouldn't waste your money.. you could do better at home for less."
• "Food nice, not amazing about the same as Wetherspoons but more expensive."
• "£32 for 2 plates wasted. Will not be returning."
• "For 2 meals and 2 drinks which came to over £50 I was very unsatisfied."
• "Waited 45 minutes for our expensive evening meal. When it came out it was terrible... For just over £50 for 3 meals, you’d expect something more gourmet."
• "Took an hour to get our food that's not a problem it was busy. But come on my gammon was missing the grilled tomato, mushrooms and onion ring's. It was so dry as well sure it had been under a hot light for a while."
