I visited with a friend for a special occasion but unfortunately we were let down from start to finish. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived and when we were seated we were in the bar bit. Im sure it's not always as busy, but there were multiple large groups and people having drinks that we could hardly hear each other. The service was so slow. Our table was at 7 and we only got our bread at 8pm. We didn't bother with dessert as it had gone over half an hour since we'd finished our mains and we still had not been asked if we wanted any. When we finally got our mains, the chips were so overdone I had to send them back. The crispy beef was soggy and had far too much chilli (and I like spicy food). The was a sprinkle of rice at the bottom of the dish, which in my opinion wasn't enough. My friend has the fish pie which she said was nice, but it came out with a bowl of peas almost the same size as the pie. Overall we were really disappointed as we expected higher quality service and food. We also wanted a restaurant atmosphere to sit and catch up, so it just left us feeling deflated.

Called in prior to a gig at Hall for Cornwall. It was a Sunday and other menus were taken off so only Sunday lunch was on offer. Sadly when the beef came it very rare, and I had to ask for it be taken back and cooked further. Once returned it was still extremely tough, and the vegetables cold. The staff were extremely polite and attentive until we complained then the attitude towards us changed. Such a shame, maybe if they are only serving roast dinners, diners should be asked how they would like their beef as the word ‘roast’ itself informs me the beef should be cooked a lot longer than beef cold and pink with blood still coming out. The customers preferences should always be considered. Beautiful place but sadly won’t return.

First time back to The Thomas Daniell since it changed hands. Absolutely delicious food. A nice variety on the menu also. The portions will not leave you hungry. The staff was so welcoming and very pleasant. A nice relaxed ambience with background music. Nicely decorated and smart looking staff. I think what would attract us even more to come back on a Friday or Saturday night would be some live entertainment or music. Maybe after everybody’s eaten. I think that would give the place a bit more of a buzz. We highly recommend going to The Thomas Daniell. We really enjoyed it. Definitely will go back again soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed a very relaxed late lunch here before going to a gig at the Hall for Cornwall in the evening. Wanted somewhere offering delicious food mid afternoon and we were delighted with The Thomas Daniell. Great to find a ‘no fuss’ approach to the presentation with the strong emphasis on the actual taste of the food and generous portions, so refreshing! The two of us each chose different things on the menu and we were completely wowed. Visiting at a quiet time during the day we had very attentive service and enjoyed good wines with our meal. Whenever we are in Truro this will definitely be the place for us. Thank you!

As lovers of Sunday roasts, this is definitely one of the best around. With a warm and cozy, yet modern pub vibe, this roast was truly devine. What topped it for us was the beef brisket stuffed Yorkshire puddings. These were really yummy! Lovely place to go with friends and family.

I ordered the Fish Pie and was very disappointed - I was expecting a pot pie topped with crisp pastry only to find it had a mashed potato topping. That’s fine I thought, only to find that the mash made up 90% of the pie, with only 3 prawns and a tablespoon of fish. It should be listed as a Potato Pie! I point this out mainly in the hope the chef will take something from my review, as it marred a potentially good dining experience.

Booked this restaurant because the website showed a vegetarian/ vegan menu, they do not offer this anymore. This left half my group scrambling for options. They should not mislead people like this. I ended up with a handful of entree’s. Not what you expect for the price of this restaurant. Very disappointed.

Came here for a meal after reading the good reviews, it’s was a terrible meal ‘think they must of been having a bad day! The fish pie was basically mash, the fish and chips was the worst I’ve ever had ‘the waiter said it was cod but had a black bone running down the middle and no taste at all, had to send my sticky toffee dessert back because it was rock hard! Overall very disappointed :( Staff were very friendly and the decor is lovely just a real shame the food lets it down.

Avoid if you are gluten free. The only thing on the menu for Sunday lunch that is gluten free was an olive starter. The waitress was rude and disinterested, and when I asked for the manager another waiter came to our table. There was obviously no one in charge. I’ve been previously for Sunday lunch and was served a roast lunch but today only offered olives. It must be the new chef who just couldn’t give a fig. I will never be backz

We are regulars here dining most Friday nights but during the week we visit other local restaurants in and around Truro but keep coming back to TD’s because we are made to feel so welcome. The menu is limited but that is sensible because what they offer is cooked well and we are always enjoy whatever we select. The key to the success here is the friendly atmosphere that is generated because people are enjoying themselves and are relaxed. Two things count when eating out the food and the service, here the food is on point and the staff are all committed to making you feel special… If your thinking of visiting do not hesitate you will not be disappointed ….

Visited the Thomas Daniel with my group and food/service was terrific hence the two star review today. My problem today was with the ill-mannered bartender. Obviously if this is a true observation on my part, and he clearly regards the restaurant and it's customers from a merely negative attitude. I'm not sure on what the bartender name was, but he was on the heavier side of build and wears glasses. In one way to describe this bartender today is to say he had an exaggerated sense of self-importance and superiority and it's a mystery to me how this man could be the face of this restaurant. Overall, disappointed; and not for the lack of service or food.

Pretty poor experience. Had a table booked at 8pm. Got there about five minutes early and got a drink. Went to the toilet and there was urine all over the toilet floor. They then said our table wasn’t ready because the people there before us were still on desert. Waited for 25 minutes, and weren’t able to sit down. They then offered the two of us to perch on the end of an empty table of six. We bailed and went to Wetherspoons

Visited the Thomas Daniel yesterday 29/06/2024 as it was recommended by some local friends and we had seen some good reviews prior. Unfortunately we were deeply disappointed in the lack of options and items not available on the food menu. The wait on food was ridiculous and it was clear that the staff were stressed. Manager clearly struggling to run a restaurant and was told there had been a change of chef/kitchen. I am afraid we won’t be back soon on our travels. The bar staff did slightly soften the blow with an apology, hence the two stars but we won’t be returning anytime soon. This was a great disappointment.

Disappointing 70th Birthday: Slow Service and Subpar Food at The Thomas Daniell Full Review: We recently visited The Thomas Daniell for a special occasion—a 70th birthday celebration with a party of six. Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. Menu Availability: A significant issue was that 30% of the menu was unavailable due to "ordering issues." Some of the missing items included flatbread, onion bhaji, buttermilk fried chicken, ribs, fries, custard, and chocolate sauce. Additionally, on their specials menu, they were missing one of the three dishes. In my opinion, many of these could have been sourced elsewhere. For instance, they only had two more orders of oysters left, which was also a starter. This lack of availability was disappointing and poorly communicated. Better transparency from the staff would have been appreciated, especially if they had informed us beforehand about the limited menu. A call to inform us of these issues would have allowed us to make an informed decision about dining there, particularly on such a special occasion. Service and Timing: While the initial wait for our starters was reasonable (20 minutes), the wait for our mains was excessive. When the mains finally arrived, only five out of six dishes were served. The sixth dish, fried fish, arrived nearly 10 minutes later and was clearly half-full, giving the impression it was hastily put together with whatever was left. When we pointed this out to our server, they returned 15 minutes later with a freshly fried fish, starkly contrasting the other three plates of fried fish, which seemed cooked much earlier. Food Quality: The starters, including the beef tacos, were disappointing—the tacos were served cold. Additionally, the Goan curry was disappointing, tasting more like tomato soup, though the fish within it was well-cooked. The rice accompanying the curry seemed like microwave rice, lacking any freshness. The fried fish mains also varied in quality, with the freshly cooked dish highlighting the staleness of the others. The Asian slaw that accompanied the fried fish was merely cut-up vegetables, lacking the expected flavor and dressing. Bartender: On a positive note, the bartender was attentive and recommended some excellent beers. His knowledge and enthusiasm about the drink selection were impressive and added a small highlight to an otherwise disappointing evening. Additionally, he was the person we gave our feedback to, and he was very receptive to our frustrations, which we appreciated. Management and Overall Experience: The most disappointing aspect was the lack of acknowledgment or compensation for the slow service and limited menu options. Despite the presence of the owners, there was no apology or attempt to rectify the situation. This lack of customer care suggests a low standard of service that is unacceptable, particularly for a special occasion. In Conclusion: What should have been a memorable celebration turned into a frustrating experience with subpar food, slow service, and poor management. We won't be returning, and we hope the establishment takes this feedback seriously to improve for future patrons. Truro is a small community, and word of mouth travels fast—unfortunately, our word will not be favorable. Absolutely disappointed.

I had a meal here a week ago and it was really lovely, although not quite enough veggies so we had to order extra. We went again tonight and to be fair there was no fish due to it being bank holiday Monday but we had an early meal and the mussels ran out at 6.30. My mum and husband ordered fish pie, this was literally all mash potato and a tiny bit of fish. We were very polite and told them at the end . The man at the desk was very nice and said he would feed back to the chef what we said. I ordered all I could being a vegetarian which was cauliflower something.. a bit too pricy for what it was (£20) but fairly tasty. I also booked for the dining room but we were given a table in the top bar where there are tall tables , not brilliant t for 80 year old parents I wouldn’t not recommend this place as I have had a good meal here but not brilliant tonight, for a lot of money.

My wife and I used to visit here often but it was our first visit since the refurbishment and change of ownership. Firstly, we were greeted by Steve who was amazing throughout our visit. The decor is simply stunning. Very contemporary, clean, light and airy. The food was absolutely first class. We both had the ‘ham, eggs and chips’. This is not ordinary ham, eggs and chips. I will not go into details and spoil the surprise. All I’ll say is: order it and you’ll never order ‘ham, egg and chips’ from anywhere else ever again. The bread and butter pudding was genuinely the best I’ve ever had. It was THAT good!! My wife loved their cocktails (hence why I’m writing this review). Please, please visit The Thomas Daniell, you will be met with the most amazing staff/service in a wonderful environment and genuinely enjoy simply outstanding quality food and drinks.

We booked ahead for Sunday lunch and it was confirmed that we had reserved a lovely table in the corner of the pub. When we arrived we were seated in the middle of the pub next to a table that had a pet dog with them that was actually sat on a chair at the table. The waitress who was very pleasant came and took our order of 2 roast beef dinners. Before long the food arrived which was well presented and was very tasty. Half way through my dinner I asked our waitress if it was possible to have some more gravey. The young waitress looked embrassed and said yes but its an extra £3. I questioned this, again she said sorry yes it's £3 to which I replied that I would rather leave the food. I was perplexed and quite honestly disappointed that you would charge an extra £3 for some more gravey. Never In all our years of going out for Sunday lunch have we every been charged. Speaking to other friends neither have they. I know people reading this would say its only £3 but it's the sheer audacity that you would charge for it on top of £22 for Sunday.I am utterly disgusted with your choice to charge for extra gravey and would not book again for Sunday roast.

Food was amazing although would have been nice to have let it go down before leaving.. Disappointed by the way we were rushed and asked to leave our table after only there for 1 hour and 15mins. (£100 bill for 2 people) We booked a week in advance 1.30 booking for my friends birthday and by 2.45 we were asked to leave due to another booking needing our seats. Not a great feeling and embarrassing especially when a table next to us (of the same size) were there longer than us! :( *would recommend to check how long your reservation will be.*

We booked ahead for Sunday lunch and it was confirmed that we had reserved a lovely table in the corner of the pub. When we arrived we were seated in the middle of the pub next to a table that had a pet dog with them that was actually sat on a chair at the table.

This is the perfect antidote to our cold dreary winter! The food was outstanding, the service was a perfect combination of attentive but not obtrusive and there was a warm welcoming atmosphere. Several of us commented on how every little detail has been thoughtfully considered...

What a fantastic place to celebrate my birthday. The TD only reopened a few months ago under new management, and the transformation is superb. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into every detail: the copper-topped bar, the lighting, the decor, even the...

Neil and the team were welcoming, friendly and professional. Their service was exceptional. The food was outstanding, my wife loved the Steak and Betty Stogs pie. The drinks were great and there was no rush throughout the meal. As visitors from San Francisco, while staying in Truro, we have enjoyed everything about Cornwall and especially this Pub/Restaurant. While commenting on the decor, and design aesthetics, the former Mayor was sitting next to us, and so gave us a brief potted history of the pub, awesome. Alf & Ann, and we will go back before we leave for California.

We (4 close friends) enjoyed our Sunday lunch together today and it was FABULOUS! Certainly delicious (3roast beef, 1 roast pork) excellent vegetables, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, crackling, and feeling very full… Then, chocolate tortes and treacle puddings. Add a few cocktails and a bottle of Malbec and we could hardly move. Service was friendly and helpful, atmosphere was cosy, soft lighting and festive without being in your face. So glad my local is SO good and I’ll be returning soon.

We have become regulars here and are loathe to promote it too highly as we might have a job getting in. Why? Because it’s the best run restaurant/ bar in Truro and we know because we have tried them all. The food is consistently good...

Thank you for the best Christmas lunch I have had in a long time, A veggie option is usually quite ordinary, but not this one. It was packed with flavour and originality.

Wish we had read other reviews first! Very disappointed, outside of hotel and views lovely inside tired and dated. Greeted by a sign on the main entrance explaining to go around the back of the building and ringing to be eventually answered by a polite but rather eerie character. There was no bar on offer over the whole weekend and no dinner available as he wasn't sure if his mother had been shopping!! Unfortunately the bathroom wasn't clean and the breakfast average. On the morning of leaving we received an email to say payment had been taken and we saw no one as we left, a very odd way to run a hotel business!

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.

Éramos un gran grupo de amigos y comimos en la sala media del pub y teníamos uso exclusivo de esta habitación. La comida era buena. Todos disfrutamos de nuestras comidas. Solo deseaba que el personal sirviente hubiera sido un poco más feliz. Eran miserables y no nos hablaban en absoluto. ¿Tal vez estaban teniendo un mal día?
