Visited for lunch and have to say what a pleasurable and enjoyable experience! Instantly evident is the professionalism and positivity of the staff, it was obvious that they enjoy working there. The restaurant was immaculate in every way. Really nice atmosphere, excellent choice on the menu and the food arrived quickly and was to a very high standard. We would recommend this as an ideal lunch to anyone. First class throughout.

Eight of us went for a birthday meal on a Friday evening. The restaurant has been updated since my last visit and is attractive if a little noisy. We were quite cold as the doors are kept open so bring a jacket. We all had lovely cocktails which had plenty of alcohol and not heavy on ice. We then had a variety of small plates to share between us, these were really nice. We all enjoyed our mains, I had a mushroom risotto which was very good if a little bit too garlicky. Friendly staff, lovely evening, and reasonably priced, will come again.

If you're going out for a drink and a bit of food and don't mind not being able to hear your date then you'll be fine. We however went for a meal with a good number of us. When we called we were assured there would be vegan options and there weren't. When we received our meals one was so over cooked as to be inedible and one was so undercooked as to be rubber. To be fair the staff we're very good about it, offering a refund for the burnt food and recooking the underdone ones. The place also wasn't too busy but it took ages for drinks to be served. I don't know of they were understaffed or just not well equipped to handle large groups but either way, left feeling pretty unimpressed.

Both of us had the Shawarmas, they are absolutely delicious. You also need to try the Cold River Cider, it is so so nice. Definitely try out this place if you are in Truro.

Came for lunch this week. Which was brilliant, really tasty sticky beef with coconut rice. But, very disorganised for the eat out to help out discounts. No signage anywhere to instruct how it would work. We ordered on the app and paid full amount and then had to ask the waitress how to get the discount. Had to queue at the till to get the amount refunded to card. Other customers were querying the same thing. Also mildly irritating when I was being dealt with that the waitress kept on leaving to help other customers, rather than dealing with one thing at a time. I know they were very busy but a sign could ease some of the repetitive questions about the same thing.

Disappointed with our choice for lunch today. There were 5 of us for lunch. 1 of us wasn't feeling too good and didn't want a big meal. She asked if she could have a child's portion of nachos. The other 4 of us had main courses. The waitress said she'd have to check with the manager, and when she came back she informed us that she could have the child's portion, but they would be charging the adult price! Thought this was disgusting! My friend therefore chose not to eat - their loss! What happened to looking after your customers? They were quite happy to let her sit there with nothing, rather than something! As to our food? Very greasy, very garlicy. Overall, disappointing.

We were regulars at this restaurant but had not been back for a few months. I ordered the bread and oils.. it was 5.50. I got served what looked like 4 pieces of brown toast with abit of oil.. it looked pretty sad. I asked what happened to the old bread and oils which looked and tasted far superior and was told they had changed suppliers. In fairness the lady asked whether I wanted my money back but said that if this was the usual serving then no as that would be unfair. She said the bread was sour bread. The concern is over the lack of any attention to detail. Food should be an event.. this as you can see by the photo looked unappetizing.. it tasted very bland and for 5 pounds 50 pence i expected a bit more.

Having been here many times for coffee and lunch, we thought we would try the small dishes. They were excellent. We had 3 plates for 2 of us which were a complete meal in themselves but with small plates. This enabled us to have some really tasty dishes. We stayed with the fish plates, having Panfried hake with pil pil sauce and candied chilli.Gnocchi, prawns, broccoli pesto and parmesan Seared scallops, pea and mint brodo, tostadas. This was all excellent. Place has lovely atmosphere, more of a young place at night we thought....Nice helpful,friendly staff.

I visited this afternoon with my daughter for a quick lunch stop, I came here a few years ago and had a very nice lunch as I seem to remember. Unfortunately I think we should have re thought our decision to eat here. The waitresses were very helpful and charming, the drinks waitress went out of her way to rustle up a very delicious pina colada which was not on the menu. This was a lovely touch, thus giving a 3 star review. However... We ordered 3 plates, the chicken tacos, the sticky beef and the bavette steak which we were told was served medium rare... Perfect. We sat to the right of the bar by the door giving us a pretty good view of the chef in the open kitchen. It was a little bit off putting to say the least watching him quite literally stuffing his face with chips on and off for the whole duration we were there. I don't like the idea of those hands then preparing my lunch !! The food was a disappointment. The bavette steak arrived quite literally raw. The waitress very kindly took it away to be cooked a little more but it was so chewy that we had to inconspicuously dispose of mouthfuls into tissues. The tacos were lacking in flavour and the sticky beef although tasty was quite salty.

We all ordered the open sandwiches which all looked and tasted amazing. The portions were generous and looked tasty.

A group of us went to the Old Grammar School on a Saturday late afternoon / early evening. The drinks are lovely, but I would suggest the food is better as a snack on the side rather than a proper meal (even with ordering quite a few dishes!). This was my 2nd time visiting Old Grammar School, having not been for a few years, but this was how I'd remembered it on that visit also.

Absolute disgrace. We’ve been to the grammar school many times in the past and I doubt we will ever return after today’s treatment. We waited almost an hour for rare steak sandwiches. My mum was given a white wine and lemonade after specifying white wine and soda. The waitress was incredibly rude and slammed our drinks in front of us, she was sarcastic and smoking outside in our view, while we were waiting for food. We weren’t the only people that complained. We walked out after being told that they were busy! How busy can you be at 3:30 in the afternoon? We were the only people ‘eating’ but left before we had the chance. Such a shame as I rarely come back home to Cornwall and my birthday lunch was ruined. Please sort it out.

Freshly cooked, beautiful food... The wine was nice too. My only suggestion to make it better would be to have a wine list so you know the choices and prices.

We arrived early around 5.30, 28th June. As more people joined our group, we gathered another table and chairs, so we could all sit together, this was not causing any obstruction or annoyance to anyone, however we were told to move, as it was restricting a reserved table, [it was not]. there was eleven of us 2 sitting on the ledge, and the rest on chairs and stools. 9 of us had food, my Nachos were almost cold on arrival, and contained the exactly same meat as the flatbread, although described differently. All meals were MEDIOCRE, Burger just a burger with mozzarella cheese, and a few Fries, no garnish, nothing special. Potatoe bravas, was BLAND, we were all eating and suddenly the waitress accused us of STEALING stools from another table, absolutely outrageous, ive never felt so insulted! They took our order, we had been drinking for at least 2 hours, and were trying to eat our meals, what did they expect, us to sit on the floor!! The staff were RUDE, and OFFENSIVE. I would suggest you invest in some more seating, especially if you are taking orders and our money!! No excuse for this appalling behaviour. This place has GONE DOWNHILL, typical made popular then cut corners for profit, only good thing is the Cocktails, but you can get them anywhere!! GO TO FALMOUTH, much better standards and service there!!

Having not been successful in getting a table as always busy before. We were disappointed. We were asked what we would like to drink, we asked for a wine list,"we don't have one" so we asked what wine do you have "red, white or rose" then to find you only had limited wine available so we had beer. The food was very poor potato bravas was just covered in a passata sauce making all the patotoes soggy, not enough of any of the mayo type dressing on any of the other dishes. When asked if the food was OK we told the server that we wasn't happy but no apology. Then we were charged £5 for a moctail mohijo! Again not apology. There seemed to be no team leader or manger about to speak to. Definitely would not recommend.

The old grammar school was my and my husband’s favourite lunch place in Truro 3 years ago. Due family we moved away and today we came back again but now with our new family. We did rush to get there before 12pm as 5 min past it wouldn’t be possible to get a table (used to be). Unfortunately the food was nothing like before. Meat dishes were precooked with no garnish next to it, grilled focaccia had strange sour taste. When we left there were more than half tables available. No wonder why. Can not fault the service which was excellent. Today’s visit is worth less than 3 points but I have a hope that when we will come back next time your food be like in old days - delicious!

Very disappointed - the menu wasn't as large and varied as in the photo - very limited and the menu structure unclear/not explained by waitress - she didn't offer information. We basically had to ask "is that it?" (the menu). When we mentioned what we weren't happy about our food waitress wasn't particularly interested in making the situation good - we had basically eaten nothing of one dish because it was just meat - at the very least there should have been bread or rice or pasta or potatoes - it is like ordering sweet & sour chicken or chilli con carne or beef stroganoff- but just on its own. She said it was because it was a "small plate" - so had we known we would have ordered some bread/potato/rice - but there was NONE on the menu! Just moved to vicinity and won't be returning here - there are loads of other places to eat and to try. I never understand restaurants who behave like this - they must have too many customers I guess. If you have a customer who walks away at least feeling they have been listened to you don't get bad reviews and they will return. No tip for you this time! Definitely a lose lose lose situation.

Even when a very rude customer interrupted the waitress whilst she was taking our order. We had some open sandwiches with fries and a few “small plates”.

Have eaten and drank here a few times and this return visit didn’t disappoint. Popped in without booking and the manageress advised we could wait as table turnaround is fairly quick. We opted instead to sit and have a drink in one of the window seats, whilst having a look at the menu, subsequently ordered a range of tapas from the menu and were happy to stay put. It seemed like only a few minutes and all of the dishes arrived, hot, flavoursome and all truly delicious. Really loved the sticky beef and the cauliflower in particular!!

Well what can I say apart from wow. From the moment we entered we were greeted with smiles and warmth from felicity and Hannah. After having a beer we gawped at the phenomenal choice on the menu. Inspired, interesting, different but also accessible. Damien the head chef came over and even helped us choose the right dishes and adapted a few for one of our party who was vegan. Along with being some of the best good I have ever eaten, it was also incredible value for money. Good prices and big portions. A big thank you to the team for looking after us and for Damien bringing his culinary skill set to our humble city. I think I have found my new favourite place to dine in cornwall.

A nice crisp bottle of Pinot Grigio complemented the meal really well, as did the friendly service. We will definitely come back.

We booked a table as a leaving do for someone at work. What a disaster! Terrible staff, we were told at the table the food we wanted was no longer on the menu,despite it being on the website, the waitress laughed and said nobody maintains the website. We had to wait ages to choose our food as they only had one menu for the whole place. Unbelievable! One waitress asked how we wanted our steaks cooked then another informed us that the steaks could not be cooked how we asked as the chef knew best! Our steaks had to be sent back as they came out raw. We were called back indoors after leaving to be told to pay for food and drink we had not even ordered, the woman behind the bar then admitted it had been added to our bill by mistake but there was no apology just “oh yea you didn’t have that did you?”. It was so embarrassing being called back in as though we had tried leaving without paying! The food was awful, my wedges were literally swimming in fat, the steaks were raw and my mushrooms were cold and hard. Portions were tiny! The toilets were grim and overall the whole experience was awful! These people really don’t care what the customer wants. We would never go here again and it completely ruined the celebration.

I came here on a Wednesday evening with a friend for some food and drink. We were greeted by very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The drinks menu had a lot of variety, as did the food menu to accommodate all. Service was fast and friendly and the food was outstanding and I look forward to coming again.

I have visited Truro many times and never knew this place was here. I am so happy my friend and I came across it. We had a really lovely tapas style lunch which was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh! There is an amazing selection of drinks including cocktails. The staff are so friendly and really helpful. I will definitely return on my next visit to Truro. I think this is now my new favourite place. I would recommend highly!

Ate here recently with a friend. We both chose from the extensive tapas menu - really good value at £10 for 3 plates. The staff were attentive and the food arrived speedily - all freshly prepared and nicely presented. Can recommend the roasted vegetable stack! Good selection of wines, cocktails and spirits too.

I popped in here for a quick lunch this week and was very impressed with the friendly, proactive service. I didn't mention I was a vegan when ordering but when the garlic mushrooms arrived and my mother in law asked me if I would be able to eat them as they seemed to come with cream, the waitress very kindly offered to make me a vegan version immediately and didn't charge me for it. I was so grateful. All of the food we ate was incredibly fresh and delicious. Ten out of ten.

Loved the gin bloody mary! The cocktails are all made to order - none of your cheap mixes in pouches here. Relaxed vibe and cool staff. Great for an after-work chill. Didn't eat but the food looked great

In Truro overnight for business, I walked around the small town to find many places to eat for a relative small place. Only a couple were busy and the Old Grammar School was one of them. Its a trendy / informal type of place. Staff and service were superb. I had an excellent burger and a delicious cooler mock-tail. Prices good. Lively atmosphere. Would return.

What a fantastic venue for our party. TOGS catered for our large party of 40 with amazing food, lovely cocktails & top customer service. The staff couldn’t of done more for us they were fantastic the whole evening. The food was a twist on the traditional Christmas meal with Christmas style tapas and it worked really well and was a great hit with our guests. Super impressed and will definitely be back!

This used to be so good, interesting meals with a great variety of dishes and unusual combinations. Now its dumbed down with more like pub food,e.g burgers, fish and chips in beer batter etc. All the quirkyness has gone. Mightas well go to Sams round the corner where the seats are more comfortable and the menu is better. We went in looked at the menu and walked out.

We attended with a large group and whilst it is fair to say the food we were served was very tasty and well cooked there was not enough to go around for the whole of our party. This was especially disappointing as we attended last year and had the same tapas menu which was excellent and more importantly plenty for everyone.

I visited with my daughter for lunch. Lovely setting, great atmosphere and friendly staff who were helpful throughout. The food was amazing - we shared the chowder and a crab sandwich and it was more food than we could eat, but we managed it all as it was all so delicious. We will definitely be visiting again next time we're in Truro.

My husband and I visited at the weekend having not been for some time. We were quickly seated but then ignored for a while. The waitress was very apologetic and quickly brought menus and drinks over.

Went in there for their new Sunday Brunch, was cheerfully greeted and was given a choice of tables. The food was fantastic, very well presented, I even tried a Bloody Mary which had a definite kick but was delicious.

Great service food and atmosphere. A group of 12 having tapas and drinks .Food was first class and plenty to eat at £13.50 per head . Will defiantly be arranging something again . Well worth booking in advance for a group to start a night out or stay and have drinks here

Close to the beach but wildly overpriced for really basic fare and their “artisan gelato” is disgusting. We tried three flavours and they were all terrible, but the chocolate was so atrocious we couldn’t finish it. Ask yourself when the last time you didn’t finish an ice cream was!

On holiday for a week and we visited 3 times. First time was for a drink only, second for an evening meal and thenthirdnfir Sunday lunch. On all occasions, service was friendly, attentive (without being in your face or false) and courteous. Our evening meal was a beautiful piece of grilled haddock in a very tasty sauce with vegetables and potatoes. We also ordered a side of truffled mac n cheese. It was absolutely amazing. Sunday lunch was probably the best I've ever eaten as a pub dining experience and I've eaten a fair few in my 59 years. We opted for the 3 meat version of beef, pork and turkey. The vegetable selection was interesting and perfectly cooked. The giant yorkshire pudding was delicious but for me, the roast potatoes and gravy were the jewels in the very large crown. There was no room for pudding but on our evening visit, we did share the amaretto chocolate torte, which was fantastic 😀. For the quality and portion sizes, I would say The Pityme Inn is excellent value for money.

Tasty - stopped in to grab a takeaway sausage roll and iced bun. Sausage roll was excellent and will be returning! Coffee was also good. Easy free car parking outside.

The staff were very friendly. The hot drinks were alright and the cakes were alright. They didn't rush us. The whole atmosphere was really nice and lovely. I didn't have to raise my voice to speak to my boyfriend who has a hearing impairment which is a hearing aid.
