Cornish Arms in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

LADY WHO SERVED ME WAS ATTENTIVE AN FRIENDLY BUT FROM THERE IT WAS DOWN HILL, ORDER RUMP STEAK WHICH WAS BADLY BUTCHERD AND GRISTLY , ALSO MUSHY PEAS WAS MASHED FROZEN GARDEN PEAS, 😳 ALL IN ALL END OF SEASON DISAPPOINTMENT

We were greeted at the door with a great big smile really nice welcome. We hadn't booked but they quickly accommodated us. We opted for the 2 course Sunday roast and had the Prawns, Calamari and Roast Beef. All the food was tasty, a good portion size and came well presented. Service was efficient and well paced we didn't feel rushed at all. Drinks were good I had the Cornish best!

Myself and friends were visiting and wanted a nice Sunday roast. We had explored images of food on the Instagram page and were excited for what looked like would be a delicious roast dinner. We were initially disappointed when we were asked to wait in our cars at opening time because the floors were wet still. Staff were polite enough but disinterested. A staff member got her roast dinner and sat at the table next to us consuming this whilst sitting on her phone and telling other staff members what to do. Our food came, calamari was cold and likely frozen originally. The soup was barely warm and advertised with fresh bread. Unfortunately this was a roll that had come out of a supermarket multipack. We then got a roast each which was in all honestly disappointing from start to finish. The meat was fatty, bland and thin, the cauliflower cheese curdled in the gravy. Potatoes were frozen originally and a poor example of a roast potato. Veg were flavourless having been clearly boiled. Gravy thin and unseasoned. Only good thing was the Yorkshire pudding. Staff informed at the end of the meal that we felt this was false advertising however, did not ask regarding specifics or inform us that they would feed back to management or the kitchen. All in all, the dinner was edible and not unreasonable price however, would not pay this again for the food brought to us.

Very Slow service .We had to wait an unduly long time for our food, the pub was very quiet!. But we did notice the Landlord had two plates of food that he took upstairs "marked private " So can only assume it was for himself and another. well his customers had to wait . Also checked out the beer garden reminded me of step toes yard .And then they put a 9.9% service charge on the bill without asking .

After your disgusting reply from my feedback of bored staff and beyond scruffy dog poo garden...it looks like you haven't got many good reviews.. For God's sake admit you need changes....food, outdoors, and especially communication with your customers. Wouldn't go back there if it was free.....

Friendly service and the food was fine. The pub looks and feels tired, not helped by sticky tables.

Superb food ... Will definitely be back in the future Many thanks Andy pitts

Disappointing meal, think a new chef is needed.

Came for roast dinner, Beef was ok but veg very poor and roast was tasteless, Seems to have gone downhill from previous visits

Amazing Sunday roast with friends

I was very disappointed with the meal provided by your establishment. The vegetables were undercooked potatoes quite hard,meat was ok . We were waiting for a good half hour for our food,listening to your most inappropriate music it would seem the pub is being run to suit your interests. We came to this pub as last year we came and had a lovely meal no waiting good service overall very satisfied. Going back to the meal the puddings were not very good as the Brownie was hard and actually seemed frozen. I do believe you need to supervise more on what is actually coming from the kitchen. The fact that you were busy doesn't mean you are actually serving good food. I hope you actually take notice of reviews as people take time to actually tell you how they feel. Thank-you.

Lovely British pub. We visited twice whilst on holiday. I had a ploughman’s the first time and. Sunday roast. The staff were polite, friendly and welcoming. Lovely venue. Good value food and variety on the menu. Only feedback was that the gravy should be in a separate jug as my roast was swamped in it and took away the flavour of the lovely fresh ingredients. Everyone’s likes different amounts of gravy. The ploughman’s was perfect, good portion size and good value. I would into recorded and eat there again.

On arrival we were rudely asked if we had a table booked, Then showed to our table, Whilst attempting to go to the bar to see what drinks were available we’re told to sit down as its table service only, I didn’t realise we were still in lockdown! After drinks we ordered a roast which was very mediocre and basic, boiled practically uncooked hard veg and pretty drab, cauliflower cheese was about the size of a 2p coin and tasted nothing like cauliflower cheese, beef was ok in all fairness, otherwise this was the worse roast dinner ive ever eaten, chocolate brownie for dessert, as expected in the middle but the outside frozen! Rude front of house lady, awful music, strange atmosphere, awful food, never ever again.

Went here as had been previous year with my sons and had a lovely meal with great service . Standards have clearly dropped . Table was very dirty ( it wasn’t busy in there ) . Went at 7.30 and was immediately told that 3 out of 4 specials they no longer had . Also poor choice on wine and wine I had was served warm . Decided against eating there in the end as choices were poor and just got a distinct vibe of not being great and quite dirty . Such a shame as it was good previously .

Booked for Sunday lunch, but could only get the 4pm sitting. I'm sure that the 12 noon and 2pm sittings would have been better, but 4pm wasn't the best. The starters were fine, but the roast dinners (and they are the only choices on Sunday) were poor. Meat and roast potatoes were ok, veg were either rock hard or mush. The Yorkshire puddings and bizarrely the stuffing were so hard a steak knife would have struggled to cut them. Gave up in the end. Staff were pleasant, but considering the extremely limited menu, the service was slow. I expect that the Yorkies etc had been waiting around all afternoon, so by the time they were reheated for us they were far too hard. We did mention this to the staff, but no offer to take them off the bill. Very expensive for what we could eat.

Weary travelers after our 5 hour journey we were welcomed to the Cormish Arms. Wonderful lunch, super friendly bar lady, easy parking right outside and extra special was the doggy menu for our Yorkie. My wife had the Mackerel salad and I the burger 🍔 😊 Perfect

We arrived in Hayle and were looking for a place to have lunch. What a great Gastro Pub, we had an awesome lunch with my wife enjoying a Mackerel salad and I a great burger. The service provided by the bar lady was amazing and the food was incredible. The best part was they had a dogs menu too. Our little yorkie had a beef and turkey medley which was quite special.

Friendly staff, plenty of menu choices... loved this quirky pub/restaurant... picture below is one of the burgers.... quite large portions...

Lovely pub, very friendly, dogs welcome, tasty food, the best crumble and custard and a great beer garden! Will visit again when it's cold to sit by the fire 😊

Lovely little pub,great food,dog friendly, would highly recommend.

We visited as a family of 4 and were very disappointed with the standard of the food for the price we paid. We ordered the Creamy chicken, Seafood linguine, Fish and Chips and kids Mac n cheese. Only the Fish and Chip was satisfactory. The Seafood Linquine was tasteless and swimming in liquid, the creamy chicken was also tasteless. The staff were very friendly and the service was good. The bar itself was nice with plenty of space.

Really expensive for a chicken madras which was clearly either a ready meal or jar of sauce. Greasy poppadoms. Onion rings were sitting in a bowl of grease. Small portion of calamari. With more salad than calamari! Disappointing I’m afraid to say. Almost £80 for a Monday afternoon pub meal for myself and my 2 children is not what I was expecting to fork out. 1 drink each. No desserts ordered. Mainly sides ordered as mains were so expensive and kids options were extremely limited. Pub was empty but a few people entered as we were leaving. Nice that dogs are welcome. Nice big garden area. Staff were friendly. Edit..response: staff not are not responsible for prices. Why would I ask for replacement jarred curry? Or less grease on food? Your responses are all much the same level of defensiveness. Take it on the chin like we did with our sad meal and do better.

I ordered the Calamari (£7.50) as a starter to share with my 15 year old daughter. However, I was disappointed to see when it arrived that there was very little calamari (5 rings) next to a huge salad. The dish isn’t described as a “Calamari Salad”, just “calamari”. I was very polite and respectful to all 3 waitresses who served us and when asked if the food was alright, responded with “no not really but will explain at the end of our meal” as I didn’t want to kick up a big fuss to the waitresses who are not at fault and ruin the quiet ambience. At the end of the meal the waitress asked what the problem was. After I told her she was grateful for the feedback. It would, however, have been nice to have a manager, landlord or even chef to have spoken to. When it came to settle my bill I was slightly surprise to see it still on but paid up nonetheless as I wasn’t out to cause any trouble for the poor waitresses. After all, I was on holiday!! I hope this place listens to feedback and learns from it ..as tough as it might be to take. Playing the victim is the wrong approach. I will go back again as the rest of the meal was ok and the service was excellent.

Had a couple of very nice pints. Lines are obviously kept very well. Ordered the whole crab which was cooked to perfection and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Sat in the sunshine in the lovely beer garden out the back

Ordered a starter of Calamari for £7.50. When it arrived there were 5 rings of calamari on a plate with a load of salad. Was expecting more calamari tbh.

Ate here twice with my daughter during our stay in Hayle, great food and very friendly staff, can highly recommend

Great place, with a wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic food and plenty to choose from, with great portions. Friendly staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. A must if you are in the area and you are guaranteed a good meal.🤩

We usually try and pop in when we visit Cornwall in the summer. What can I say, again the food was divine, I had the seafood linguine and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh, tasty and not too heavy on the stomach. My partner had the Chicken Madras and thoroughly enjoyed that too. Staff were lovely too and the atmosphere was great as usual. Lots of lovely food being served, we didn't get the crab but saw a couple of other tables with it and it looked amazing. Thank you Cornish Arms, hope to be back again next year.

Didn't eat anything but drank something. Friendly staff and tasty beers. Very pleasant to stay! +free wifi

Nice pub, friendly staff and amazing food. Quite possibly the best burger I've ever had, and I've had quite a few!

Not been here for a year and omg what a difference a year makes...thank God on Sunday we ate at a local pub, and gardens and staff wonderful and 10/10 for the food. We called in for a pint at 2ish on the same Sunday....it was empty no atmosphere, so we took ourselves and our 2 dogs to the garden....WHAT AN ABANDONED MESS...rotton tables, dog poo, long weeds and grass, it's as though you have given up. The bins were full and weeds growing out of them. What a shame. If that's what the garden is like...God knows what the kitchen is like???? I see you answer most of your reviews....so please don't tell me it's a nature garden, as it would be an insult. This is NOT a made up review.

WOW, what can we say… the food and service was just incredible from start to finish. Every single one of our meals looked insane from the min it arrived on the table and it was so amazing we forgot to take a picture it was that good! The portion sizes were amazing and so filling we are all going home with full belly’s and food coma’s all round. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Thank you, would 100% recommend!!!

Wow! What a great job everyone at the Cornish Arms did. We held a wake here and it really couldn't have been any better. The food was delicious with more than enough to go around. The bar staff were amazing and just so nice. The background music was spot on and the layout/atmosphere was really chilled and conducive to people mingling and sharing fond memories. Thank you so much for your part in giving my father-in-law a lovely send off. The attention to detail and amount of hard work you put in, and the modest cost for all you provided, was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be popping in on our next visit to Hayle!

Absolutely terrible give it a miss

Great food and friendly staff. I was here solo, and the staff were so attentive and friendly. I have intolerances and they really went out of their way to ensure I got a meal safe for me, and that I can enjoy. I will definitely be back

If you want to be followed out of the pub by the owner arguing with you, or at your table, and infront of other customers than this pub is for you! This is all of what we witnessed as we were rated at our table (45mins after arrival in which we were told was our fault). The best thing the staff could have done for us is to tell us how awful the food and owner are. We had the Sunday dinner in which we waited 90 minutes for (after the wait for the table). My food arrived separate to everyone else’s and it was stone cold. I sent the food back. They replated the food and told me the plate had been warmed. The potatoes… absolutely vile! They were not fresh, reheated and couldn’t be swallowed without a drink. I encouraged the owner to never give these to a child as they would easily choke. As for the veg, if you don’t have good teeth, don’t bother. Because they are hard and undercooked. The Yorkshire pudding was days old and did not cook easy with a nice. When encouraging the owner that the food was not good, she says “how strange. The meat on the menu was not the meat available. Therefore she says you cannot have the added sides (yorkshire pudding and stuffing) to the original menu as it’s different meat (which we said was not our fault) This is a £16.50 dinner!!! We all left dissatisfied. The staff walked out whilst on shift due to the stress she is under. The owner is in denial. She believes it is amazing. Therefore all customers were wrong. We witnessed several try the food and then refuse to stay. It’s a Good job they serve alcohol so the food may taste better. We would not visit again. No atmosphere, poor service. They cannot keep up with the demand. Such a shame.

The women that seemed like she was the one in charge come across as rude and abrupt , also the roast potatoes where more like boiled food was served warm not hot , chewy beef and turkey was not fresh it was like a frozen roast joint from Iceland.

Waited over 1 hour for Sunday lunch, half of the menu was not available, roast potatoes was really dry and hard, all 4 plates was hardly warm, lamb was tough 4 other parties walked out complaining, manager in denial arguing with customers, was a terrible experience will not be going back to this place, some of the bar staff was friendly the only positive.

We went for sunday lunch and had a table booked at 4pm. In fairness we did turn up early and was told to get a drink and wait for our table but to then watch a walk in of 4 come in and be offered a table straight away was frustrating. The waitresses were just stood behind the bar chatting whilst people were looking over for assistance. We were given a table after 30 mins of waiting where we found the table next to us had been waiting a long time and then refused their food. We then were moved to another table where we were given our food within 10 minutes which we were happy about but the table next to us complained about how poor it was and refused to pay. Overall the food was okay, some things weren’t cooked like potatoes and cabbage. We were then over charged £11 on the bill. Luckily we checked as otherwise they had charged us all for 3 courses when some of us only had 1. The lady told us she would sort but we had to pay the service charge which i wasn’t happy about. It wasn’t a great experience and probably wouldn’t go again.

Full roast okay however service very slow and even on table next to me one person didn’t get there meal. Excuse given sorry but we are fully booked. I had reserved a table won’t bother going again Plenty of other eateries in area to choose from

Really awful. Drinks and food order messed up, 90 min wait for food and defensive when we discussed, although did take money off the bill. The food (that we actually got - several didn’t receive it) was mediocre, stuffing that was rock hard, undercooked veg and reheated potatoes. Service was slow and disinterested, such a shame as it’s a lovely pub.

Terrible table service, table booked at 4pm it’s now 5.15 and only just received the starter… definitely don’t recommend for a family out

Generous portions, amazing food, really recommend lovely pub

The Cornish Arms is a great place for Sunday lunch. Not only is it dog friendly but it has a couple of menu options for your dog, from the meat medley to sausages. We love the bottomless gravy and the Hayle Storm cocktails. You can pre book tables via their website

If you come to Hayle make sure you come to this pub. It wraps its arms around you and treats you amazingly. Great food, great music, great drinks. Bar girls are great and so hard working. Thank you for making our holiday!

Went in later the evening when they were busy The lady said if we didn’t mind waiting they’d see what they could do Within seconds they found us a table and took our order They apologised and said it could take some time It came super quick piping hot a great meal just what we needed They said the chef was on her own !! Well she and all the staff did a first class job If your in Hospitality you should see these guys Perfect Service and welcoming staff 10/10

Suuuuper friendly smiley staff, really cool beer garden. Had a lovely beer out there enjoying the sun in comfort

Nice atmosphere, lovely waitresses, but unfortunately burgers were undercooked and cold in the middle, certainly would expect more for the price. Disappointing.

Came across this place this evening as we're staying local to the area, it was a hidden treasure. Warm welcome by all staff as soon as we walked in, very quick service, food was incredible and great value (highly recommend the monkfish katsu curry and lamb shoulder). Would definitely visit again if in the area, thank you.

I would recommend making a reservation here if you're holidaying in Cornwall. Great food drinks and service

Sunday lunch is so tasty and plentiful, stunning deserts, the tiramiasu is to die for absolutely lush food 👌

Nice friendly big pub with good grub 😊

Went for a birthday dinner. The pub itself was lovely and the staff were great, although food was a dissapointment. Quite expensive for small portions. I had the risotto and it didn’t taste like much, had to add lots of salt and pepper, and was very small. It’s a shame as it was a lovely atmosphere.

This is only my opinion but the meals are expensive and small if you like a hearty plate of food. Not enough choice for me as I'm quite picky. One meal was cold and we were confronted by the Chef when we complained saying that 'the prong said it was at the required temperature". The vegetables were cold to touch. Really lovely waitresses who was attentive. We were a party of 8 and I appreciate this is challenging but I did not like the approach from the Chef. I will go again but as a couple.

Sunday lunch was delicious. Roast beef was melt in the mouth. The vegetarian wellington was also delicious. The kit-kat cheesecake wow. Served with clotted cream. Staff were friendly as normal. Lovely place for a meal well recommended.

Over paid £45.35 for fish and chips and a coke ..fish and chips wasn't worth £19 each and utter disgusting £7.35 for a glass of coke . Never ever again. Mother in law said it tasted terrible . I am lucky enough to have not be able to taste thanks to having COVID and my taste and smell have gone . 😡😡😡😡😡. This review is 100 % true 😡obviously they don't like the truth .

Great Sunday lunch. Lovely staff.

We were staying in the local area last week and decided to have a Sunday roast here. Wow! The food was absolutely delicious.. the best roast I think I’ve ever had. Berry crumble and custard for dessert was beyond amazing. The atmosphere was warm and cosy. We had a small issue with one of the kids meals which was dealt with and rectified immediately. We cannot wait to visit Hayle and The Cornish Arms again! Thank you

Another stop to get something to eat but ran out of food which a shame for Sunday roast, limited out side parking but on street parking Looks nice inside and the staff was nice

A must visit for us whenever we are in Cornwall. The Sunday Roast is absolutely top notch and I am so thrilled to find a vegan option for my friends that is the same calibur as everything else on the menu. We will be heading back soon to try everything on the tapas menu! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Until next time- as for now I will day dream about those fabulous cocktails, patio and chips!

All the girls were miserable, no one asked how our meal was - the answer would have been…awful, £16.50 for a child’s size roast with lamb full of gristle, a piece of hard grilled cauliflower, three lousy potatoes and some sort of brown tasteless water full of oil they call gravy… after paying for the meal we left and still said thank you to the staff and not one of the 5 waitresses who were stood staring into thin air even bothered to reply or even acknowledges us leaving. Terrible food, terrible service will not be returning.

Went today for a Sunday roast. Unfortunately let down with the roast itself, was only slightly warm with some undercooked and crunchy veg. The dessert made up for a bit as they were rather nice. Good beer. Wouldn't return for a Sunday roast

Absolutely shocking if I’m paying £16.50 for a Sunday roast I would expect good food but that was not the case at all and not enough of it! It was like a child’s portion I was still hungry after it and it didn’t even come with a Yorkshire pudding but when asked if we could have one they said we couldn’t and the gravy was rubbish really disappointed with everything I had high expectations for this place. Felt unsatisfied when leaving and the staff didn’t have the best attitude at all.

Very quaint and comfortable local pub, staff very friendly and attentive. Went for Sunday lunch, and I couldn't fault it. Good selection of local ales, ciders, and spirits.

New Tapas menu excellent and good value for money. 3 tapas 2 dips £13.50 Good portions. Enjoy...

Food was good. Potatoes could have been crisper, Beef was nice.

Fantastic Sunday lunch and super sticky toffee pud lovely. Friendly staff and and a good feel to the pub

Loved it. Great food, and great service. Would go back.

First time visit. Very friendly waitress and we loved the fact our two dogs were very welcome. They even had their own menu! We felt however the food (for us!) was quite expensive. I fancied a steak but at £28 for a rump steak, I thought that was too much. My wife and I had a chicken burger which was decent and better value. Pint of Tribute was good.

Great service, food exceptional, my wife had the Ribs, best she has eaten and they serve you with a proper pie not the false ones with puff pastry loose on top. Would highly recommend.

We came down to Cornwall for the weekend and booked in advance for the Christmas menu. We informed them one of our party is dairy intolerant, she only had vegan dishes and as each course arrived we asked to double check there was no dairy involved… she was violently ill before we even got to Lelant… would avoid if you have an allergy

Excellent burgers. Friendly, helpful staff, proper pub atmosphere.

Stopped here a couple of times for the draft Mena Dhu. They serve a good pint here. Friendly staff and the pub offers the traditional british cosy environment and atmosphere. Enjoyed our visits.

Fab cocktails! The food was amazing (we had the burgers). Very welcoming and attentive staff. We had a lovely evening here and will definitely be back.

Great price, great service, delicious food. Thanks so much, specially to Caisey who served us with a smile 😃

Had a Sunday roast by the fire and was all lovely. Great food, good portions, unlimited gravy, nice staff, good atmosphere. Would recommend!

Lovely Sunday roast. Even have a doggy menu. Great service. Highly recommended

The opening times listed are wishful thinking, they only seem to open 3-days a week. I drove past the other week, a lovely sunny Sunday October afternoon. Shut. Why? They clearly have no interest in selling beer. They seem to be currently operating as a restaurant rather than a pub which has turned away most locals who I know used to drink there. Used to have acoustic acts on a Friday which had a nice chilled vibe. Note the word 'Used' used several times. Tis a shame...

The best Sunday lunch in town, well worth a visit.. very friendly staff. My Dog loved his dinner aswel. Thanks for making us feel very welcomed.. Will definitely see you next year

Great meal and nice vino selection.

The food is over priced for what you get. Crab cake starter's we're tiny pats on a plate and not very tasty. Not everyone wants to complain at the time, especially when you're being treated to lunch.Doubt ewill eat there again.Service charges by law are optional.Everyone gets their off day's. Perhaps, we we're just unlucky

I think generally this is a nice place but we just had a bad experience. When we arrived we waited 15 minutes to order food. Food arrived and my Mac and cheese was nice, if a bit bland. But my partners food was a burger which came raw, when we sent it back and asked for just the patty to be put in the oven for a couple minutes and the wrong burger came back and our “millionaire fries”, were missing the truffle oil. We did let our server know who apologised but when the bartender came over with the bill we did ask for the service tip to be removed because we were disappointed with the food, he told us that it’s on the menu and therefore can’t be taken off. I’m sure we just had a bad experience but left feeling very disappointed.

Lovely welcoming place, would happily use as a local if I lived in Hayle. Cosy seating and wood burning stove. Disappointed I didn't visit there till our last day

Welll cooked and a good menu with a lovely welcome for our dog.

A fantastic meal followed by superb cocktails

The fish was cooked perfectly, with a light crispy batter.

Excellent place to have a drink not tried the food but looks equally good choice will definitely be back for the food

Good food, served swiftly. Not cheap, but good quality.

Booked for 6:30 on a Thursday, ordered starters for 3 and 2 kids meals followed by 4 mains. Ate in a timely manner, as fast as the kitchen produced the food ( food was really good) asked for a dessert menu as our mains were cleared away to be told we didn't have time as the table was rebooked. This was at 8pm. The young waitress was left breaking this news to us as the manager was stood at the end of bar. We weren't told at any point when booking or on arrival that we had a curfew. We were given the bill with a 10% surcharge which we asked to be removed, to which the response was "why aren't you happy?" to which we responded that we didn't get to finish our meal. "Why? Because you can't get dessert? Yes, indeed, we didn't get dessert. I'd fully understand if we'd taken longer than necessary or wasted time but we all ate at a reasonable speed, we even got the kids meals with the starters to speed up the process.

Plenty of food - no Guinness and only brioche buns for burgers - dog menu went down well - staff were friendly and efficient

Me my daughter and 2 granddaughters went for Sunday lunch, huge Yorkshire puddings and the meat was so tender but the roast potatoes were so over cooked hard as if they were left in oven for hrs. So was disappointed as this was given 5 stars, also wernt worth the £75 it came to, we didn't have starters or dessert either. And only had soft drinks.

Great place we only had a few drinks, the staff were super friendly, and welcoming. The pub was clean tidy and well decorated, we even sat on an amazingly comfortable leather sofa. The food coming out looked fabulous. Lots of signage about there Sunday roast which I imagine is great so booking essential

Very very very good burgers Very very very expensive ( & everything , chips etc is extra ) . I’d definitely go back though and Pay the same , ( maybe get the kids some chips down the road first 😂)

Unfortunately food took much longer than expected to arrive, expected homemade fish and chips recieved thin piece of fish sat on small bed of french fries not great other meals good. Do not agree with the 10% surcharge on bill. Did raise problem with server who offered me a additional wait for chips, we not talk about claims everything is made in house yet staff carry frozen bags of chips through restaurant, it was additionally raised with waitress that fish was not nice and had multiple bones in it! Cost of meal was reduced by 50% but when adding the £15 Added management tax the £8 meal cost reduction was insignificant!

Great food, lovely place. Dog friendly.

Lovely pub, friendly staff. Visited on a Sunday and probably had the last sitting for the roast. Whilst the turkey and the ham were nice, the beef was almost inedible. We would go back but perhaps not on a Sunday at 6pm.

Fantastic Sunday lunch and friendly staff.

Served by very young waitress who had no idea about the menu. Not the best service but food was good when it came. 10%service charge should not be compulsory.

Watch out for the automatic 10% tip/service charge added to the bill! Ours was nearly a tenner for mediocre food and undrinkable beverages! The draught larger didn't taste nice at all, being of hospitality industry, the lines needed cleaning, which tasted like they hadn't been done in some while. The plates we were served food on were chipped in several places, not the best food but edible. The fish cakes were small, the peas tasted old, gravy was powdery. Given 2 stars as despite the old musty smell prevalent on our visit, the route to the toilets through an unlit bar area, the 2 girls working there were lovely. Not somewhere I would choose to go again

Had the Sunday carvery 16/07. Lovely meal staff attentive nothing is too much trouble. Have used the Cornish Arms over the last few years on our annual holiday. Can never find fault, even when the country had just come out of lock down the Cornish Arms was one of the only places that year who realy went above and beyond to ensure visitors could dine safely
