    Food was delicious, service was very professional but a tad stuffy. Wine list was verging on the ridiculous with the majority of bottles being over £60 and nothing under £40 -considering this is billed as a ‘pub’ we felt this was excessive and sadly would put us off returning.

    Fantastic food. Beautifully presented, tasted great. The favourite for me is the Deep Fried Mars Bar. OMG, it is a sweet sensation.

    After hearing so many positive reviews our expectations were high. We were a party of three and we found it difficult to find fault with any of our dishes, the service or setting of this beautiful pub. It was the perfect way to celebrate our daughters birthday. The wine list is exciting. A first for cretan wine which was so good as was the lebanese red; to see real fires in the splendid fireplaces would be the icing on the cake rather than electric log burners. But that's just a small niggle. The tartan fox makes me proud to live in Cornwall. Thank you for an excellent experience.

    We had a lovely lunch there. The staff were very friendly and our dog was made welcome. The food was outstanding. It was all delicious - keep space for the deserts, you don’t want to miss out on them.

    The food is different but familiar at the same time, beautifully cooked and presented, the wines on the wine list pair beautifully with the food and the waiting staff were very knowledgable about the wines and helped us make the right choice. The staff were top notch, cheerful and friendly, we felt welcomed and well cared for. We will be returning

    Well presented food, in a busy environment, a pleasure to see well trained staff working with confidence. Great wine list with a good selection available by the glass. Food packed full of flavour.

    A great experience once again. The Vegetable mains (roast seeds, curry aubergine and crispy cabbage) are outstandingly good with excellent sides. Service was impeccable with knowledgeable servers to advise. The restaurant were flexible to change our arrival time despite full booking. Thanks and we will see you for our fifth visit soon

    Excellent staff, food very good. Thought it had something slightly missing at the cost to get a 5. Will go back though.
