We went for my birthday lunch. We couldn't fault the service. Very patient! With 12 of us it's not easy! The food we had a mixture of Sunday roast and veggie choices. All excellent quality and all brought out together and hot. Really good meats and accompaniments served by friendly staff. Excellent value for money. Thank you for making my day special!

Ordered two steak meals, both medium rare, comes with greasy onions rings, a fairly bland salad, half a dried tomato and some chunky chips that taste like they hold the oil, so much so that neither wanted the full portion. Steaks were tough and gristly. Sorry to say, at best, perfectly average. The plates were quite off putting too. Brown marks on them that looked like juice / gravy but in fact it was the pattern of the plate.

Took my wife out for our 17th wedding anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were pleasant and friendly. My wife had the Cumberland sausages and I had the 8oz rump steak which was cooked to perfection. Absolutely love this place.

Went here for my birthday with my partner. Booked online and we were seated by the window which was lovely. The car park was quite full but we managed to park so leave enough time. The food was very good and prices were ok. The dessert was a little pricey for what we had. Overall very nice, tasty and deserved of my tip. I’ll definitely be going back. Mention to the staff who were very nice. Well done everyone.

A nice welcome by one of the owners, I think, and pleasant surroundings. Veg was a little too al dente for our liking but everything was very good. Cheeseboard wasn’t very good. Smoked cheese doesn’t really go, in my opinion, and the lack of any butter made it all a little dry. God evening, though, with a nice atmosphere.

An exceptional pub. A real happy find that we just chanced upon rather than searched for. It has friendly, bright staff, a relaxed atmosphere, excellent door and beers, and beautiful views across Cornish countryside to the distant sea. I could go on; easy parking, good value, and lots of outdoor seating which will be wonderful on a sunny day. Pubs like this are few and far between.

Treated by family to Sunday roast dinner. Booked late and reserved a table for 2 pm. My roast lamb meal was outstanding - best I’ve ever had. The lamb was cooked to perfection, tender but not too pink. The mixed vegetables were so tasty and they seemed freshly cooked and the roast potatoes crunchy. The flavour of the gravy was outstanding. I particularly liked the Celeriac cubes which so enhanced the flavours. Had a beautiful Mango Sorbet to finish my meal. The staff were all very friendly and attentive and the surroundings relaxing. It’s no wonder the Inns car park is frequently packed when I go past. The new management have worked so hard to completely transform this place which has an excellent function room as well and side room which can be used for small events and coffee mornings. Well done and my compliments to your wonder chef and all your staff. I’d give you 10 stars if I could. Forgot to mention that well behaved dogs are also welcomed.

I used this pub about a month ago then chose it today . All we had was a sandwich , a bowl of chips and two drinks . It was brilliant last time and this time . I first used the pub when I was too young to drink but had some anyway . I was probably 15 then and I am now 75 . Previous to our last two visits I came in here about thirty years ago . What a change they have made . Well worth a visit . My wife and I both love it .

First visit, 5 of us, celebrating our Father’s birthday. 2 of us had mushroom….on toasted sourdough as a starter but sourdough soft texture wasn’t properly toasted. I didn’t have a starter, being vegetarian I didn’t fancy any of the 5 meals - 2 currys, burger, but chose homity pie with salad. The others had ham, egg & chips which was a nice size compared to my small pie & lettuce. I felt I was missing chips or veg? I did mention this afterwards to staff who said as homity pie contains potato they don’t serve it with chips (although what’s in a small pie wouldn’t be equivalent to a portion of chips), I was then offered chips but had finished my meal. Dessert I had cheesecake which was alright but was so low in height. 2 had apple crumble tart & custard, our Father missed reading ‘tart’ and thought he was having proper apple crumble which always beats a tart which possibly was shop bought?

It is very obvious that this pub has gone the extra mile to make sure that covid measures are in place and I imagine that a lot of money has been spent on creating very nice outside spaces.No sandwiches available so tucked into a jacket potato with prawns and a curry.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere different to go for lunch. We had passed this pub several times on the way to Tavistock but it wasn’t doing much from the outside to draw us in. We saw it had some good reviews so thought we’d try it and so glad we did. Firstly it is SO much better inside than we though it would be. The decor is lovely and it was a very cosy place to spend a rainy Monday lunch time. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. I had the prawns in panko breadcrumbs and they were delicious. Hubby had the cauliflower cheese which was lovely too. We shared a portion of cheesy chips. Very generous portions. Will definitely go back in the evening soon and will be recommending it to friends and family.

Been to the Rifle several times since they re-opened following lock down and each visit has been great so decided to give their Sunday roast a try. Well, what can I say apart from DELICIOUS! Went for the roast beef option, which came with the most amazing huge light Yorkshire pudding...big enough to sink a battleship :-) Very generous serving of tender beef slices, the most delicious gravy to go with it and a really good choice of perfectly cooked fresh veggies (no frozen stuff here!). When we left the pub the car park was full to bursting...an excellent sign that the pub is gaining a well deserved reputation for great food. Would most definitely recommend booking for Sunday lunch, or any other occasion.

Excellent late lunch. Great choice on both normal menu and specials - spoilt for choice. Spotlessly clean and very well organised. Lovely seating area at the rear of pub looking out over fields and no noise from road at the front All seating well spaced out as required by Covid 19 regulations. Everything was great - food, choice, service, cleanliness. We will be back again. HInt: did not see on roadside any notice about spacious seating outside and the seating is not visible from road - perhaps put notice at front for passing trade. Could make a difference for people wanting to dine or drink outside in these difficult times of pandemic and social distancing. Good luck with future to owners. Fantastic all round place.

I visited The Rifle Volunteer with my wife on Wednesday July 23rd. for an 8.00p.m. sit down after booking a table the week before. The food was very good and the staff seemed friendly. We were placed in the conservatory which has a nice view down to the Tamar valley. We enjoyed our meals and decided to book the same table for the same time on Wednesday 26th. August for four people. The waitress who served us made the reservation on the computer before we left. We witnessed her do this before leaving the pub, having enjoyed our time there. However, yesterday my wife called in the late afternoon to check that the reservation was still in order for that evening and was told that we were expected at 5pm. When she said that the booking was made for 8pm. the young lady told her that there were no tables available for that time but would check with her manager and he would deal with us. He eventually came to the phone and merely reiterated what the young lady had told us. I said to him that we had made the booking back in July and he said that our booking was listed as being made on 10th. August! I asked him to check the date of our last visit, which he confirmed as 23rd. July. I put it to him that someone had changed the booking on 10th. August and gave our table and time to a.n.other. He did not deny this but said that nothing could be done - no apology, no remorse, just a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude. I doubt I’ll be returning to this establishment in the foreseeable future!

First visit for food and drinks since lock down - pub has been refurbished under new owners and looks great! Live locally so to have the pub back again is fantastic. Nothing to disappoint, great food and service in very clean and safe environment. Set up under new Covid-19 measures instils sense of confidence - hand sanitiser station at the front desk, tables set up with plenty of room, staff observing appropriate social distancing, but still maintaining a welcome feeling and a one way system in/out of the pub. Food options on a reduced menu, but still something to offer all tastes. The salt&pepper calamari is particularly good - could eat a tonne of that! Steak cooked well with lovely taste (from local beef) all dishes presented nicely and all the salad sides were lovely and fresh with a light dressing. Whole experience was really good, so good to do something 'normal' again! Enjoyed so much, have booked again for next week and will make sure we continue to support our much loved village pub, especially in these challenging times. Congrats to new owners - you've done a wonderful job in bringing the pub back to life!

The new regime provided delicious food, generous portions if you want it and exceptional value for money. The Christmas menu was excellent with all the trimmings including Yorkshire Pudding, stuffing and all the vegetables together with a very large helping of turkey. Do ask for a smaller portion if you do not have a big appetite as it comes with 4 huge roast potatoes. Other mains were great too. FAst efficient service from our waitresses too.

Stopped off at this pub for the first time ever today after viewing a house nearby that we chose to buy, so to celebrate we decided to treat ourselves and sister in law to a lunchtime treat.

As a party of 12 we would normally book a table however due to recent disappointments we decided to wing it!

We stumbled on this little gem by accident while searching in the rain and dark for somewhere to eat locally after a long drive down for a holiday. It was a busy Saturday night but we were welcomed and found a table with no fuss. Friendly staff brought delicious meals and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We went back a second time, also without a reservation, and were made to feel just as welcome again.

Having lived locally now for a year, we've visited here quite a few times also bringing other family members too. The staff are always friendly and professional and there's always a choice of guest ales and ciders. What would be nice though is if the regular menu options changed up a little; when you've tried quite a few of the dishes (and yes I know they have a specials board) it is a bit uninspiring..what would be good is to see options like jacket potatoes, omelettes, cottage/shepherds pie or even pizza on the menu. That said we've never been disappointed with the food, it's always good and great value for money. We love coming here!

The meal was very nice. and we didn't need to wait too long. Plenty of room for wheelchairs. Bonus was wheelchair accessible toilets which is hard to find in this area.

After making a reservation in which we forgot to tell them we had dogs they were very accommodating to find a way for us to have a meal with them, they provided a high chair and books for my young daughter. The food was lovely and the staff were fantastically helpful!

Booked for an early meal but the bar wasn’t too busy. Made to feel very welcome by the staff. We had our dog with us which wasn’t an issue. Great pub food and judging by the car park a busy evening time pub.

Me and my family went here for tea after a long day out and the service was amazing. The landlady catered to all of our needs, even two picky eaters, including my self. The food was all fresh home made and delicous! There is a little park to keep the kids occupied and an outdoor seating area looking out onto the beautiful Cornish scenery. The waiters and waitresses were all extremely polite and over all it was a lovely evening meal with a nice, relaxed atmosphere!

This pub is a really good find for food. I had the pie of the day, which was steak and ale, and absolutely amazing. Have to say it was the best pie I've probably eaten but be aware of it's size. Fortunately my partner managed the half I couldn't eat!

We had a great Sunday lunch here with friends we’re staying with in Gunnislake. Sadly the weather has been wet and cloudy for the last couple of days so we weren’t able to take advantage of the views. Nevertheless we had a great Sunday lunch, very good kids meals too. Would recommend without a doubt.

Wow what a find. We went to this pub restaurant about a year ago and have been back many times.lastsunday was the first Sunday lunch we had there and it was fantastic. Everything was home cooked and of very high quality and soo tasty. The staff were really friendly and service was excellent. Although we live in Plymouth we will be back time and time again. I do envy the locals

We had a lovely evening meal here whilst on holiday in the area. Its important to my husband that a place is accessible and they were able to accommodate us with an annexe just inside the pub which I found out doubles up as the local post office! There was also a long conservatory on the back which would also have been ok. Great views over the countryside if you sit in the conservatory.

Six adults on a Friday night in this lovely pub. Doesn’t look much from the outside, but is great inside and has lovely views. Friendly staff, very reasonable prices. We samples the gammon- huge portion, the kebab and chicken mixture, and the steak pie, which was home made and full of lean meat. Easy car parking. Nice kids play area, fortunately we had none with us! Great evening.

The staff were friendly, the service was prompt, the food was good. It's about as good as you could hope for from a family friendly restaurant at the price that it is.

Absolutely wonderful visit. The cream tea was the best I think I’ve ever had. Warm scones, huge pot of cream and delicious jam, must be homemade. The tea was piping hot and came with an additional tea bag should you like it strong.
