"Arrived waited for drinks prior food had to carry to our table after waiting for 10 minutes before we could sit at the table that was free and reserved. Main came quickly, at first we thought what great service until took 30 minutes to remove our plates. Had to call someone over eventually to ask for dessert menu , no one at the bar or view of staff prior. Waited and waited after another 40 minutes no one came to ask for our dessert order as well as drinks. It was table service. The whole meal took one hour and 45 minutes due to waiting for service. Only eat our main. We are locals and would of been a great pub to drop in regularly for food. Great food, terrible slow service which really ruined our experience. The Inn could of made more money from us and sadly lost out."

"Booked a table at very short notice, the owners were very accommodating and welcoming. It was really busy even on a Monday night - which is a good sign! Plenty of parking, food was epic with huge portions!!! They were dog friendly, and the owners were professional genuine and so friendly. I would definitely go back when I'm in cornwall again :) thanks for the hospitality"
