This pub is in St Breward - Postcode PL30 4PP, not the postcode on the Trip Advisor Website. It is not near Lanivet. Not visited.

We stopped for lunch on a whim, to break up our long journey and have lunch. The Stilton soup was very good as was the bacon & Brie sandwich. I had a toasted ham and cheese panini. Ok, it was hand-cut ham not processed rubbish, but it was mostly inedible fat. It was quite revolting and nowhere near service standard. My wife complained but was told that was the problem with hand-cut ham. What, you can’t trim it? In my opinion you shouldn’t have to open a toasted sandwich and fight with the meat. Such a shame as it ruined what could have been a excellent meal and put me completely off my lunch.

A big family group of us came and enjoyed a delicious Sunday carvery. Great selection of meats and veg. Only thing that let it down slightly was one of the bar staff was quite abrupt. Granted it was busy, however, we were left feeling a little affronted.

Brilliant food. Lovely staff. Beautiful location. All for a decent price. Highly recommended this pub as it's the best around by far.

Ate twice here during our stay at Hengar. The cavery on Sunday's is a must. Served fresh and hot with a great selection. Followed by great desserts. This place is a must. You always know somewhere is good when it is frequented by locals.

Visited for a 70th Birthday meal, pre booked but had to adjust the numbers down last minute but it was not a problem. On arrival we were seated quickly and the staff kept us up to date with our order progress as there was another large group celebrating a party on the same night. The food was absolutely fantastic, gammon, curry, fish and omelet all hot, and the chips here are out of this world. Not a massive car park but plenty of parking along the road. Highly recommend you stop by for a meal if your in the area.

We came here after picking up a card a the local accommodation we were staying at and were not disappointed. This is not fine dining [no criticism intended] but good value hearty meals with well kept ales that suited us just right on a winters evening.

We went for Sunday lunch - really excellent food, but be warned! If you don't like crowds, don't book to eat in the large family restaurant - it was heaving, noisy and very busy! We asked to be seated in the bar, and it was great - peaceful, good value, lovely food.

Stopped here for a Sunday lunch. The carvery was very nice, the atmosphere was lovely and staff were pleasant. There was no wait for food which was an added bonus and the pool table area was great for the kids. Parking could be an issue for the busier periods but we were able to park fine. Outdoor area was lovely and the views are pleasant also.

We went to this pub on recommendation and drove several miles and up sharpe inclines to get there (hence title highest pub in Cornwall) we arrived and were expecting the roaring fires and great food but there were no fires and food passable. Staff were friendly but one waitress seemed to be running out the orders whilst landlord took it easy behind the bar. Presentation of the food could have been better, steak was lovely, once I chiseled through the fat! Maybe we caught it on a bad day but I myself wouldn't reccomend it.

My parents have made repeated visits to this pub over the years so I was eager to try it out. 8 of us thoroughly enjoyed our main courses and we followed it up with a game of pool. The staff are fun and friendly and I will definitely go back another time!

Great beers (loved Doom Bar from Sharp's Brewery) and smashing food combined with the charm of a truly old building and the friendly staff make this one of my favourite pubs ever.

After reading mixed reviews and staying local to the area, we decided to walk to the pub one evening for an evening meal. We arrived and were met with a warm and friendly welcome. We decided to eat in the restaurant rather than the pub. The restaurant was very busy and we secured a table. There was a large choice of dishes on the specials board however you had to get up to read them and I felt rushed as everyone was standing and reading the board. The food arrived after quite a long wait however we were eagerly awaiting our freshly prepared food so it didn't matter. My husband opted for the beef and ale pie along with the chips (cooked in beef dripping). My son had a hamburger and chips. The pie arrived with an overcooked pastry top along with chips that looked like cooked in old oil. The hamburger was a small burnt lump in the center of a very large 'buttered' bun. I ordered mushroom ravioli which was very nice and not over-cooked however it was advertised with a side salad which never made it out of the kitchen. The desserts did not disappoint however needless to say it was our one and only visit to the pub for food.

Very good steaks and specials and generous home cooked chips. Drinks dear and shame that there was no landlord to great diners.

Food ok but nothing special - average taste and quality, would only eat here is passing and would not go out of my way to do so. Always busy but as it is the only pub in the village this is not surprising.

On arrival it was clear that this was not a good choice. We had booked and were meeting friends so difficalt to change. Restaurant was very full and a large number of kids running around. Some familys looked as if they had been there some time and set up camp. Not a place to go if you wish to eat in good suroundings.Food and staff were good, but wasted on this visit, which will be our last.

We found this Inn by chance, good traditional English fare, in a lovely traditional pub, with good real ale.

Food was great quality but for the money we thought the portion control was a bit severe, kids meals poor value too

We visited this restaurant for Sunday Lunch Aug 7th 2011, we did get lost trying to find it but if you follow the main roads its simple. I would DEFINITLEY go back. The food is really lovely and you get soooooo much, none of this see through chewy Beef but thick tasty slices AND you get the choice of LAMB.... It was absolutly hammering down with Rain when we arrived and i got drenched the lady behind the bar was very welcoming and seemed interested to chat etc. The actual restaurant was full but we were told to go and find anywhere in the bar or family room to sit and then just go and order. The pub was spacious and we had lots of clean tables etc to choose from. There were locals at the bar which made it seem really comfy and inviting. We didnt have a desert as the Carvery was so filling. There were 6 in our party 2 adults 2 teenagers a 4yr old and a 2yr old they all ate the food without any complaints. The total bill for all the food and 1 round of drinks (a pint and 4 soft drinks) came to £54 which i think was fantastic. I really hope this place carries on being successfull AND if the weather had been good we could have gone for a walk round the beautiful church which was nextdoor.

I have to admit that I am not the person that comments on anything and everything, nor do I ever right a review of my experience. If I am unsatisfied with the experience, I just won't return again. But ... I have been seeing the Development of this establishment for that past 20 years and treated myself quite often to a night or two in any of the corner or best suites ( highly recommend those ) and enjoyed the ambiance and service this hotel had to offer. Our experience: Arrival to the hotel : We planned to have drinks prior to our meal. Found the bar area as busy as usual. With no free seats in sight, I ask the Brasserie manager if we could order drinks in the main lounge, whereas we been told that there normally is service but he has no clue what they doing today. Not answer I was hoping for. The entrance to the main lounge also been blocked off for some reason. Luckily the wait at bar was sufficient enough to pass the time for a table to become vacant. In previous visits, a relaxed table service was offered but not this time for some reason . Guess it’s an informal 5 star service.. , had to ask for bar menus as neither been on the bar or tables to see what’s on offer. ( also no usual complimentary nuts that used to be offered ) Restaurant We arrived early to our Booking at the samphire and were delighted to be able to be seated, unfortunately without any menus. It took about 10-15 min of us staring holes into the warm air, when I lost my patients and had to get up from the table to ask for menus at the entrance of the Restaurant. Yet again it took quite a while for us to order drinks and food as it seemed to be a chaotic service with everyone doing everything and no restaurant Manager nor head waiter in sight ( please note.. all evening ) . The lack of attention to detail was incredible .. table settings with knives to left and forks to right on every table .. just wow - giggle Food and drinks order done. ( ordered a glass of white wine with my mains, which never arrived ).. Drinks arrived what seamed ages. Overheard table next to us complaining about the slow service too, which been given a small apology but no solution to increase the speed of service ( yet again a lack of management ) Noticed the young waiter being unfamiliar on how to correctly present a bottle of wine and opening it, which I thought should be a training standard for a 5 star establishment. not only did he seem untrained, he also dried his hands in a used napkin left on the table next to him where diners just left. The pork belly starter , was below luke warm which was shame as its been rather tasty. I guess if a portion of this size is sitting on a kitchen pass for mere 3 min, it naturally will loose its core temperature, suggestion.. Next time use a cloche! I wanted to point this out to the service but yet again no manager or headwaiter to be seen and the waiters seem too busy to be bothered. Once they did ask if everything is alright, but by that time we finished what we had on the plate ( which is not a lot if you are hungry ) Unfortunately the main course of the hen and the monk fish not been any better and yet again being luke warm. Dessert of the frangipane tart and pineapple been ok, but yet again no attention to detail, as the dessert been bought out without cutlery being replenished prior. Ordered coffee to be served in the lounge, which arrived with no sugar or spoon and had to be asked for separately. When I paid my bill, I mentioned that the wine I ordered with my main course never arrived. No apology was offered.. A "informal fine Dining " experience. 95% informal - 5 % fine Dining. :-( Over the past 20 years I always chose the Headland hotel for its perfection, attention to detail and impeccable service, this time it's not delivered to its promise which is a shame cause that's what I will remember.. Coming from a 4 to a 5 star .. I expected more ( go back to 4 stars !!! You been better then

I will start by saying the restaurant did reduce our bill and throw in a few free extras but we were very surprised by the quality and portioning of the food. At the time the cafe was very quiet but the staff seemed a little bit chaotic. Orders not being put through properly, items missed off and not knowing what beer they had available. A couple of us ordered the chicken burger (£13) and my son had the kids version (£8.50) but his came with chips. I was pretty shocked when we both received exactly the same sized portion. A small bun, 1/2 a small chicken fillet and one piece of lettuce, not exactly worth £13. The staff did even comment that they there was an issue but still felt it was fine to serve and just expect people to pay. The pizzas were but ok but again surprised when we we charged £3 for 2-3 sliced olives as an extra. We've eaten at many other places up and down the coast and based on our experience we would not return.
