Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I booked a table for dinner at The Cornish Vegan to celebrate my fiancée and I getting engaged. As this was an important occasion, I wanted to make the evening extra special - Rob and Graham were very happy to oblige! They took the time...to get in touch with me to suggest flowers for the table, champagne, and even went so far as to prepare a special dessert and lovely card. Thank you Rob and Graham, you made our evening very memorable and we will most certainly be back. For anyone looking for somewhere to host a special occasion, look no further than The Cornish Vegan.More

We were lucky to get a table here at very short notice. The menu is small but still enough choice. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals (poutine starter, mushrooms and fish and chip mains). The service was great and the owner is a lovely man...who we could have talked to for much longer, if our parking wasn’t about to run out! Would recommend to all vegans and non-vegans.More

Hi, our menu isn’t very low carb or sugar free, but does contain some healthier choices from which we hope you can make a selection.
