    Eat here quite a bit, had the carvery today and it was fantastic, they don't skimp on the meat either, nice thick turkey slices, lovely veggies too. Lovely calm ambience feel, staff are all brilliant too, helpful and friendly. Good prices for cornwall too, definitely not overpriced. Never have a bad word to say, always good.

    First return for a couple of years, the whole experience was good, we were greeted by pleasant member of staff who directed us to available tables, service and communication was excellent. The food arrived nicely presented and hot. Just one small criticism, the background music was slightly too loud for us. Apart from that we would return. Well done to all.

    Great venue. Window seats available if preferred. Nice welcome by member of staff. Three choices of meat, pork really good and tender. Could have different meats on plate if wanted. Good assortment of vegetables, stuffing, Yorkshire pud, pigs in blankets for a small extra charge. Hot gravy, plentiful. Highly recommended.
