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.

We enjoyed a lunch at The Cloisters, the training restaurant of Cornwall College St Austell. The young staff are keen and are clearly being well trained in all aspects of hospitality. The menu was interesting and the food well presented and cooked. We had a...beautiful piece of hake. It is very good value at £12/£15 for 2 or 3 courses. The restaurant is well signed and there is parking availableMore

An excellent training restaurant from the welcome, taking your coat, showing you to your table, taking drink orders, explaining the menu where necessary, giving time to ponder and enjoy. The student staff were professional, friendly, confident, knowledgeable and efficient. The food was excellent and fantastic...value, menu varied and of a high standard. Well done to everyone, we will definitely be back. Thank youMore

I was nervous about going out for Christmas Lunch with a group of friends after being advised by my GP to follow a 'Low FODMAP' diet. I have been very ill on 2 occasions after eating out elsewhere. I emailed Matthew the Restaurant Manager to...share my worry and my dietary needs and he was really helpful, recommending which options to choose and arranging for special gluten free gravy with the main meal and lactose free cream with the desert. It was very tasty and I have had no ill effects, so I can really recommend this training restaurant for students. It is well managed and accommodating. .More

Every single dish was lovely, the taste, the presentation, the portion size perfect....We could have been in a top restaurant and I would leave this review. Brilliant... well done students and teacher! We will be back regularly. Try it, trust me!More

I and a group of my co-workers had a wonderful Christmas lunch at the Cornwall College Cloisters Restaurant last week. This was the first time I've eaten in this restaurant, which gives the catering and hospitality students a real life experience of preparing, cooking and...servicing customers. The food was fantastic, well prepared and cooked, beautifully presented and well served. I can honestly say the turkey I had was the best I've ever had, moist, tasty and plentiful. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for a beautifully cooked and served meal at a great price.More

This restaurant gives students in the hospitality course a n experience of dealing with paying customers . From the start checking in with our coats to the end paying for our meal everything was done to the highest standards with politeness and a smile on...their faces. The food was very good and the young chefs came around after the meal to hear everyone's comments, good and bad all were received with a smile on their faces. I am not going to pretend everything was perfect, if it was there would be no need for them to attend college and we would be paying 10 times more for our meall. Well done to students and the tutors to quite arnold i will be backMore
