The Halfway House in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Absolutely fantastic lunch and an amazing friendly service. Such a great menu - I could have chosen so many things. I also think these guys are spot on with their prices. We will be back very soon.

Went for a carvery today and it did not disappoint! Meat was beautiful, lovely selection of vegetables and the staff were lovely. Checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. Will 1000000% go back again

Avoid. Rarely, if ever, have to complain about food anywhere but this was disgusting. 2 adults and 2 children's meals, none of which were satisfactory. Manager didn't charge for children's starters and one child's main (all inedible) and we have just left feeling very disappointed with having to pay full price for meals which were not cooked properly because we had eaten some of them... despite telling staff we were not going to eat them and didn't want replacements.

To start with the positives, service was friendly, attentive and quick. We had booked ahead, and were shown to a nice window table. Unfortunately, things went somewhat downhill from there. Our friendly young waitress told my husband that they had no English beers on tap, only imported ones. He was surprised, but ordered a Birra Moretti, which he also likes. We found out a bit later from a more experienced waitress that they do in fact have English tap beers. Well, things happen, and we didn’t mind too much. The food, however, was disappointing. We both ordered the set menu. Starters were ok (soup and fried scampi, respectively), and we both had the steak pie, which was a bit bland, but ok to eat. Dessert was what pushed me over the edge. I had ordered an apple and raspberry crumble. What I received appeared completely free of apples, it was difficult to find any fruit at all, but some pink spots showed me that there had been a couple of raspberries before the start of a long baking and drying process. The little bit of fruit in the dish was covered with a hard layer of what resembled a burned flapjack. The custard was good, but I could not stomach more than a few spoonfuls of the so-called crumble, it was so dry, and the burned flavour was getting to me. My husband mentioned this to the lady when he went to pay the bill, but she offered no apology to me, or compensation for the inedible dessert. This place has some good reviews for its food, so it must be better at other times, but we won’t be coming back to try again.

We have visited this restaurant many times before and would usually rate it very high but this time something was obviously wrong. When we arrived there appeared to be only one other table occupied. We ordered and our drinks arrived quickly, unfortunately the same couldn't be said for our food. We are aware that food here is cooked to order but have never had to wait more than about 20mins. A new couple came in and were seated and ordered, then a second, a third and a fourth and one by one their meals came out. We waited! We waited for almost 45mins By now I had finished my glass of wine and approached the bar to order a second one as it seemed that they had dispatched a trawler to catch my fish. The staff apologised profusely and gave us the excuse that the kitchen was short staffed, sorry but that didn't wash as we had seen every other tables food come out! They assured us that they were working on it but it was still a further 15mins before it finally showed up, hmmmm that seems about the time it would take to cook it after they realised the ticket hadn't gone through to the kitchen! We decided to risk ordering a dessert. I know we should have known better, the young lady took our order but a different server returned to inform us that they had run out of vanilla ice cream which was listed as coming with both of them. I guess she was the one who drew the short straw. By this time I struggled to keep a straight face and was close to falling on the floor laughing. They didn't charge us for one main and the second glass of wine. We will go back because the desserts are worth it but I think we'll leave it until next year

Awful place. Terrible smell on entering- should have turned around right then. Asked about the set menu that they advertise on their website and the waitress had no idea what o was talking about. She also had no idea whether the louisiana burger was chicken or not and didn't offer to find out. Kids margherita pizza was in fact melted cheese and a tomato sauce on baguette. The Korean burger tasted of nothing and the Asian slaw was a spoonful of coarsely chopped red onion and yellow pepper shoved in the bottom of my burger. Husbands steak and ale pie looked like it needed a blood transfusion it was so anaemic looking. The toilet smelled like an overflowing nappy bin. Overall, a disappointing last night of our holiday. The website looks decent- very misleading.

The food was delicious, the interior was exceptionally clean and well presented. However there was only ever one person manning the bar during a busy Sunday carvery meaning our food would go cold if we needed more drinks. One of the waitresses was slightly rude and when we asked for ketchup for the children she gave us one small sachet to go between the two of them. And it has to be mentioned that the elderly lady manning the carvery could do with some help!!

Visitamos aquí un té improvisada mi hijo y pareja. Tengo que decir que el menú parecía bastante bueno y había mucho.

Todo el mundo fue muy amable y servicial. Estuvimos con un grupo bastante grande a asistir a una boda en la zona. Nos sirvieron con frescos y comida caliente, y la espera no era más larga de lo que nos llevó a cocinar. Los precios eran buenos para la calidad de lo que elegimos.

Hemos visitado este pub varias veces antes en visitas a la familia y nunca me ha decepcionado. El servicio es excelente, la comida deliciosa una buena relación calidad-precio. Todos tuvimos un asador que era precioso, como siempre, verduras. buenas opciones frescas y bien preparado. Pedí tarta de merengue limón de postre. No podía creer el tamaño de! Era enorme. realmente no creo que me gustaría poder comer todo pero era tan deliciosa, así que final lo sustituyeron por. No podía salir. Honestamente puedo decir que fue la mejor tarta de merengue limón que he tenido. Todo el mundo tenía postres deliciosos, Casablaca, helados, etc. y todos nos vino de nuestra comida. Sin duda volveremos.

called in without reservation and had an excellent choice of meals - we choose their deal of 2 meals for £16 - we chose roasts which were totally briilliant - best we have had for a very long time - meat was tender and tasty and the choice of veg could not be criticised - look forward to going back

Hemos venido aquí principalmente para el domingo para llevar durante muchos años. Hemos probado muchos y siempre volver. Con una excelente selección de carnes asadas y un montón de carne no te quedarás con hambre. El precio es muy razonable y siempre conseguir un gran servicio. Prueba y salir de la habitación para un flan especialmente los helados

Parece que se ha ido cuesta abajo desde que mis últimas patatas asadas de visita estaban secas como tenían sobrado de almuerzo o congelada, donde las patacas chirivías como balas el único que salvaba era la salsa.
