"My partner and I booked for their Sunday Roast and what a wonderful treat. Excellent friendly service and a beautiful window seat overlooking the small harbour. The portion was perfect. Very crispy roast potatoes, lovely tasty beef, parsnips, carrot, red cabbage and best cauliflower cheese I’ve had (Cornish cheddar so creamy too). We both had wine/red wine by the glass which were very agreeable. The Sticky Coffee pudding with whiskey is very recommended. We’re be back again soon!"

"Had Sunday lunch twice whilst staying in the area. Food was lovely, fresh and tasty. Small details have been considered, such as having water brought to the table without the need to ask, staff friendly and helpful. The interior was modern and clean, including the toilets being spotless. Thank you."
