    Apart from being hidden in a caravan park, this is the best food I’ve eaten for a long time. Sunday lunch was delicious, service impeccable, can’t fault it really. Don’t miss out on this fantastic pub.

    Great venue and great atmosphere. Never rushed to leave our table which was a great plus point as meeting with friends we haven’t seen for Three years. Definitely recommend this establishment

    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.
