This is the 3rd year we have come here as a family for a treat whilst on holiday locally. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, the setting by a little river in a quaint little village is a perfect start. The venue itself is...small enough to make it feel personal and whether it be a romantic meal for two or a small family meal, this caters perfectly. Despite slate flooring, you don't get any cold or noisy feel to the place. I like that they have a picture on the wall showing where they get the main bulk of their food from, and yes it is predominantly local Cornish produce.
The produce for the meals it top quality, we went for fillet steaks and Duck for mains this time and they are possibly some of the best fillet steak we have eaten, cooked to perfection and something we still talk about when we eat with friends back home.
The Duck came with some fantastic fondant potato and despite tasting the steak my wife had, I was not too jealous, because the duck was cooked and tasted perfect.
I had monkfish scampi for the 3rd year on the trot and still cannot get enough of it. Loved how this year it came with a Thai dressing and salad, was worried at first but I shouldn't have been. Other starters we had were the Mackerel, (strangely the only place in Cornwall we had eaten in that week serving it, despite being local and in season) and scallops (always a winner).
Had a lovely bottle of Melbec and shared a chocolate desert (wasn't supposed to be shared but I wasn't allowed it all myself when it turned up) and some coffee.
I cannot fault this place even if I tried, it is such a relaxing place for such great food.
Thank you for another perfect meal. Naturally we will be back when next on Cornwall.More
