Tredea inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I can remember camping nearby with family and going to the Tredrea since the seventies. The area has remained amazingly unspoiled after fifty years, but even here change is inevitable. The Tredrea has closed and will be missed by us, good memories of having a pint with that wonderful view. I hope the area continues to change as slowly over the next fifty years to preserve this magic areabas long as possible.

The Tredrea has been permanently closed since last year unfortunately. Its a crying shame as it had the best view over Porthcothan Bay and is sorely missed as there is nothing else within at least 2 miles

We had a great experience! The staff were so friendly and had beautiful views, even from inside! All of us had really lovey food, no complaints at all and the prices were very fair too! Loads of parking and dogs are also welcome!

Found this absolute diamond of a cafe/restaurant/bar at a time when there was very little open or available due to Covid. Super food and great friendly service with excellent views of the surrounding countryside, beach area and sea. It also has free wifi which in this vicinity is a very rare thing!!

We visited here as family of 6, the food was lovely (main and kids menu), staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful views over the bay. We would definately recommend visiting here and will return next time we holiday down here.

Absolutely incredible fish and chips. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food (curry, chilli, burgers). The staff also cared that we enjoyed the food. Don’t be deceived by the decoration, it probably needs some attention, but we were outside, the view of the beach and valley difficult to beat and I would recommend.

I would never write a review unless I thought it was very bad, and this is one of those occasions. I had gammon egg and chips for £14 and hand on my heart you would get better at whetherspoons. I’m not sure how they get away with charging prices like that for abysmal food. The gammon was mostly just fat. The chips were very very undercooked, the fried egg was the only okay thing about it. I just thought you’re the only restaurant within the porthcothan area right next to a very popular beach, and you’re happy to either just serve rubbish, or the products are just really bad bought in stuff at the cheapest price. I understand you need to make a profit margin. But you can still do this without buying awful food. I really don’t like writing bad reviews but this is honestly the worst meal I’ve ever had in my life. Nice staff though and great views just wouldn’t go there for a meal next time. (If there’s a next time).

With beach parking difficult and Padstow heaving stopping by here several times was a delight. Food lovely and staff friendly. The young guy who delivered meals to outside tables is a credit to this pub ... what a courteous young man. Views are beautiful. Thankyou

Very disappointed £22 for a surf & turf special steak was cook well but tasted of nothing tough prawns hard chips cold peas mushrooms and tomato best part of the meal was the onion rings and the Mustard I had to put all over for some flavor over priced drinks and some unhelpful servers . Will definitely not be returning here go else were

I stayed over as a motorhome pub stopover. The staff are very friendly, the surf and turf was delicious and the bar is well stocked with a good range of beers, lager and cider. The view from the outdoor area is beautiful. Will definitely come again when I'm in the area. Dave

We called in for local Sunday lunch, after a previous visit just for drinks. Staff very friendly, food was very good and generous portion , but would have preferred it to be hotter on arrival to the table. Thank you to the hard working staff, and hope they do well in the coming months.

After phoning around a number of pubs we managed to get a space here, surf and turf was fantastic and the Thai green curry was full of flavour. Well worth a visit. Staff very friendly too.

We called in without a booking. We received a very warm welcome from Tommy who looked after us beautifully. We had the buttermilk crispy chicken burgers and baguette with cheese & bacon fry’s - it was all beautifully presented, cooked to perfection and delicious. Very good value and sitting out on the terrace in the sunshine with views to the bay, beach and sea was simply glorious. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

After a negative experience last year we were reticent to return. However I am pleased to say the pub was a far better experience this year. We had a reasonable pub meal and have popped in for drinks and free WiFi! The staff are very friendly. The pub garden has lovely views of the bay. You can sit here and watch the sun setting.

Lovely location with an incredible view. Brilliant service and good food. Such a shame that developers have bought it and it’s closing in September.

The views are the biggest selling point at the Tredrea Inn. Although outside was lovely it was pretty windy and we asked to be seated inside. The impression given was that of a youth club hall, with two tables surrounded by metal outdoor chairs. After ordering a lager shandy we returned this four times asking for lemonade to be added before the waitress finally checked the pump and realised it needed replacing. There were plenty of options to choose from, however the food was by no means impressive - semi decent pub grub. We ordered garlic bread and the chicken liver pate for starters. The pate was tasty however the garlic bread certainly had no garlic, we had three plates of it and agreed it tasted of rosemary. The vegetarian chilli main course was warm and tasty however was presented like a school dinner and the ‘Special’ of King Prawn linguini was disappointing. One of the three had only two prawns and all three plates were so small we thought we had been given starters by mistake. Although we queried this with the staff they were adamant that there had been no confusion. We left disheartened and still slightly hungry. Would return for drinks outside but not for food.

I love this pub! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We had a great meal which was beautifully home cooked, fresh and hot. Loads of tables outside, with a stunning view of the sea. Quick service and very reasonably priced. Fantastic fish and chips and good vegetarian options too. You can't book a table which is great as it leaves you flexible if the weather is good. They have so many tables outside that there's always space. Also dog and child friendly. Stops serving food at 8pm. Also very co

We eat at the Tredrea every year and the food is always of a good standard, generous portions and friendly service, great for large families, with one of the beautiful views in Cornwall, we always return,and will again in August.

Called in for food after a long cliff top walk. Fabulous ploughman’s lunches and great views from the decking area. A very welcome pit stop !

We thought the inn had closed when we approached it as the sign was overgrown and the car park was empty and looked a bit rough. However, decided to walk round the side of the pub to check and found it to be both open and bustling . There was an open fire when I went it to book, and the staff were welcoming and friendly . We paid a deposit (which is very a very reasonable request in such uncertain times) and went there the following day for my son's 26th birthday lunch. We also took my mother who is 98. They could not have been kinder and more helpful, for example when we deserted the indoor table to sit in the sun outside. The service was cheerful and very efficient and the food was excellent - hot and fresh. They brought a tray out for my mother as the table was a bit high for her and in general, I cannot fault the service or food or view in any way - it was a memorable lunch in every good way!

Called in unplanned as we came across the place whilst out for the day, sat outside for drinks with amazing views over the bay. Staff were friendly and the place seemed busy but predominantly locals as everyone seemed to know each other. Once inside for our meal the place was clean but overly appealing! It was a reasonable menu under the current climate and a little strange we had to pay for our food as we ordered it, not a big issue but a bit out of the ordinary. Once the food arrived it was very nice, all four of use cleaned our plates and a couple had desserts which again were very good. Worth calling in if your passing.

Having read the great reviews for the fish and chips at this establishment, I was extremely disappointed at being served a huge piece of fish that was nearly cold. Despite being sent back to the kitchen to be heated, it returned barely warm and unappetising. The other strange thing was the requirement that our meal was paid for before we'd received it. The very unconvincing reason was the payment machine was linked to the kitchen. I thought it was liked to the bank!. Needless to say a very underwhelming meal with no offer of recompense.

Lovely pub. Been coming here for a looong time and have never been disappointed. Great pub, friendly staff and fabulous food. Would highly reccommend

Had just been for a long walk along the coastal path and the Tredrea Inn was the perfect place for a pint and a tasty ploughman’s whilst taking in the beautiful views form the decking.

We visited the Tredrea 3 times during our recent stay in the Porthcothan area. Twice for food and once just for drinks. Impressive COVID measures in place. As always the food is up to scratch, the pint of Betty's superb, but the view has to be the best in Cornwall.

This pub was perfectly located for where we were staying but a little disappointing. A bit vacuous and lacking in atmosphere with uncomfortable tired looking metal table and chairs in a slightly cold draughty conservatory. The menu offers bog standard pub grub and that’s exactly what you get. Generous portions , lots of chips, fills a hole but somewhat uninspiring.

Nice setting ( outside could do with a tidy up not sure the broken tables in a line add to the beauty there is here, sunset and beach view! ) Food really good, enjoyed very much. Dessert a bit pricey. Also dogs allowed in garden. Great if you have a dog not so great if your child is afraid and or you don’t like lots of barking!

Very upset by the fact we had booked this pub for Sunday lunch, left the beach early. Arrived at the pub paid for drinks then went to order our roast. The kitchen then said no roasts left, terrible service. We had booked a table and paid £40 deposit. Left the poor bar staff to deal with the issue. Certainly won't be giving them any custom.

We booked a table here as the reviews appeared good! I ordered the “special” Chinese Chicken with noodles and 4 prawn crackers. The chicken tasted bland with no sauce to speak of, I wasn’t sure if the noodles were actually noodles or brown spaghetti, and it was served cold! Thoroughly disappointed ! £12 was a rip off. Will definitely not go back. According to their website they stopped serving at 10pm we asked for desert at 9:45pm and got told “No the kitchen was closed.” Altogether a rubbish experience for our first meal out since New Years Eve!!

Had fish and chips here, some of the best I've ever had. The drinks are good, and the views from the sitting area outside are very nice too.

We ate here a couple of times during our holiday and just had the most amazing roast today before coming home. The food is all homemade, really tasty and great value. The owner was really helpful and the staff were fantastic. I was also really impressed with their CV19 controls. Would highly recommend a visit, or two!

A nice place to stop during this difficult time, plenty of places to sit outside in the beer garden on the decking for a safe drink with a lovely view of the beach and countryside.

Stopped in for a drink on way home from work so impressed buy the measures that they have done to make you feel safe in the current climate would say definitely book as limited tables inside now will be a amazing pub to visit on a sunny day with amazing views and lots of outside space

Stunning Sunday roast, good price too! Lovely views even on a stormy day, was greeted with a welcoming hello and felt very comfortable, great pub!

Having walked the 5 miles on the coast path from Morgan Porth, we were delighted & relieved to find this lovely pub open on a sunny weekday in February when the rest of Porthcothan was desserted. We were greeted with a warm welcome & stunning views of the beach from the elevated position. We only stopped for drinks & delicious shortbread biscuits on this occasion but have noted for future trips. Thank you for being open.

3 lovely meals here including a Sunday lunch which was fantastic. Large group of us with 2 dogs. Playing Darts and Pool on a rainy day along with great food, roaring fire and a few drinks Staff were so helpful and welcoming on all occasions.

Always friendly and does a lovely homemade fish finger baguette. Could do with better chips though, they're ok but nothing special.

Stooped for a light lunch. 1pm and we were the only ones in. We ordered three soups and a coffee. Brought only two soups and was very apologetic that she got it wrong. Crusty warm baguette was lovely but soup just okay, and not a huge portion served in a very shallow bowl. Not great value for £6.Inside of pub felt very casual, wooden floors and basic wooden tables and chairs. Lots of games and machines to keep kids entertained, plenty of tables on the decking and garden,Maithili lovely views over the bay.I can see it might be popular in the summer with ca,pets and caravan nets but there are better places to eat.

Came here one of the nights on our camping holiday... it’s a nice enough pub & the views over Porthcothan bay are beautiful. The food isn’t anything amazing... I got the impression the food is frozen & not cooked fresh. My husband asked for the curry & we were told it wouldn’t come with rice because it would take 20 mins to cook & basically they couldn’t be bothered...??? He was happy enough to have it with chips but I didn’t think it was a descent enough excuse when it’s on the menu!! I ordered the fish & chips... everything was crispy enough but lacked flavour. So won’t be going back in a hurry! Fun for a game of pool afterwards though!

Been there a few times, this time just treating ourselves to lunch Fish chips and mushy peas. Good food friendly service.

We take an Annual trip to the Tredrea and they are always able to accommodate a large group of our family and friends. Views are spectacular, the staff cannot do enough to help.There is a wide variety of choice with several vegetarian and vegan options. I’ve reviewed with 5 stars before but feel that the price increases this year are not fully reflected in the quality of the cuisine which whilst good, is fairly basic pub grub.Would certainly go back after a day on the beach but there are other places locally which offer a better value meal.

We visited this pub for lunch. The staff were very friendly and the views were nice. Unfortunately the menu looked tatty and the food was very poor. Great location - a bit of work could make this place very good.

We enjoyed a roast dinner and burgers and scampi as a family. Portions were really generous. Kids loved it because of the free Wifi too. It has a fantastic view of the bay. Inside decor could do with a facelift.It’s not easy to find as signage from road, but just opposite Berryfields farm campsite.Worth a visit if you’re hungry.

Visited early one evening and had an outside table to appreciate the fantastic views over Porthcothan Bay. Some good real ales. Service was good, unfortunately the food was just average although hot.

The view was great we had binoculars. The Mexican burger was delicious and juicy. Inside was a small arcade for children (or adults).

Whist staying in portcothan bay the Tredrea inn is our local whilst on holiday from Scotland.. Must be one of the best views in Cornwall amazing views of the bay. The owner and the staff have been lovely and welcoming . Would recommended to all visiting the area.

Arrived shortly after food had begun to be served by the kitchen and found a table with a fantastic view of the beach and open sea. It was lovely to be able to enjoy some great food with a beautiful view.

Visited here for a late lunch on the 1st June 2019. Weather was lovely so we sat in the beer garden with our two dogs who, along with us, were made very welcome by the proprietor/s. My husband and I enjoyed our meals which arrived at the table after only a short wait - I had the ham, egg and chips while my husband had the double veggie burger. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals which consisted of good, wholesome food - the veggie burger was accompanied by some onion rings which was a nice addition! My ham and eggs was tasty, the only complaint if any, was that there was too much of everything - one large slice of ham would have been enough with the two eggs and generous portion of excellently cooked chips. I think it was ok value for money :)

This was our first stop for lunch when staying locally for Easter. Really friendly welcome and a fabulous burger. I probably need to get away from London as I wondered why my burger came with calamari rings (er...onion rings, and fabulous they were, too).

Whenever we are in Cornwall we always visit Tredrea Inn and have not been disappointed yet! It has breathtaking views and is dog friendly, has a family atmosphere and it serves delicious food in generous portions. What more do you need?!

We visited the Tredrea twice on our recent stay in Porthcothan. It's great news that it's got it's 5* rating back. The welcome from Steph was warm and friendly as always, suspect she was more keen on Nev the Kromis than us, but he is fluffy and cute. Pints of Doombar were excellent, as were the filled rolls we chose for lunch. It was quiet as you'd expect in the middle of March. It'll be busier when we're back in June, and back we will be.

Don’t be put off by the decor please as some reviewers have said. Lovely place. Amazing views. Loads of outside seating. Dog friendly and really nice staff. We had the fish and chips - it was perfect. Reasonably priced too. 5 stars from us.

We had an evening meal here as it was the nearest pub to where we were staying. The pub could do with a bit of updating. The lady serving behind the bar was friendly and helpful. There were a couple of real ales on. The menu was a standard pub menu and prices were a bit on the high side. The food was cooked well and was tasty. There is a large outside seating area and during the summer months it can get very busy with good views over towards the coast.

Stopped here after walking from Treyarnon. Wonderful views out on the terrace. We were lucky enough to have the autumn sunshine so we wrapped up and sat outside. Delicious bar snacks and friendly service.

Had Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago. It is a pub rather than a dedicated restaurant. My partner had a delicious roast pork dinner and I had fish and chips. The fish was beautifully cooked with thin crisp batter, accompanied by lovely tasting chips. It is a pub that welcomes children with a decor that could put some off. My suggestion is to give it a try.

We had walked from Constantine bay with our two dogs along the headlands and found this pub. There is limited signage but it was well received by us all. Beautiful view of the beach and a nice cold beer/water for the dogs! We didn’t eat but it smelt lovely!

Absolutely fantastic pub!. Great views and wonderful food. Roast dinner was very nice and the drinks are reasonable. The staff are a credit to the owners and are very friendly and attentive. We have ate here three times here now and will definitely return.

Visited with a view to dining but was put off by the dated decor and very sticky floor and dirty tables. Drinks were expensive and the only good thing was the very friendly young man behind the bar who served our drinks but we were put off by other staff behind the bar just staring. Shame as only pub in Portcothan which has a beautiful beach.

Warmly welcomed for Sunday lunch. Pub a little frayed at the edges, but a stunning spot, huge car-park, friendly staff & great value food. The fish & chips definitely needed a bigger plate to hold the enormous & delicious cod!

Got a quick response on facebook when making enquires for bookings and dogs etc. Received a warm welcome on the first evening we popped in for drinks and pool. Second night we were welcomed enthusiastically and the meal was served promptly and all tasted good. Been coming here 20 years and this visit has been one of the most enjoyable.

The view of Porthcothan beach from Tredrea Inn is phenomenal, on a warm sunny night sat outside with that view and a pint of Korev makes me think there is no better place in the world to be.

Happily let me park the car here so could do the Newquay to Porthcothan. Had a very well prepared americano at 11 and quality ale with some chips at 7. Friendly staff and great value. Recommended

We went for lunch whilst on our annual family holiday . The food was great the place was clean and the staff friendly and helpful and there was a good selection of beers to choose from. And a great view from the large garden.

We started using the Tredrea after being let down in other local pubs and for the last two years the quality has been consistently excellent, definitely worth trying with the most fantastic scenery

This is a proper pub and a welcome break from the gentrified pubs that are becoming more common in the area that charge far more for far less. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is lovely without being pretentious and over priced. And they’re very dog and child friendly. I will make a point of visiting this pub again whenever I’m in the area.

The food is great - good basic pub food which is really well done - smaller portions on offer which I would recommend and a great view. Staff were very friendly very professional and really helpful - hard to beat the location food prices and service - well done for doing it so well

Lunched here today - second visit - in a party of 8. Food was excellent again, and very good value with generous portions.

We stopped here having gone to one of “Ricks” places first only to find it ultra busy and a 90 min waiting time. Anyway I’m glad we did it was such a nice place it had a lovely view and the food was very good and cheaper than our first target.

Staying very nearby, so tried on the off chance. So glad we did. Lovely food with very generous portion sizes. The staff are very friendly and the view is amazing.

Enjoyed a lovely meal sitting outside taking in a spectacular sea view. Good value food. A second visit on the cards.

The Tredrea has had well publiced problems in the past, but they are in the past.

Had a great burger meal with friends whilst caravanning nearby. Locals and staff very friendly and welcoming. Have book lunch for Sunday 👍🏼

Without wanting to sound obnoxious I'm a chef and I fully admit I'm a pain to take out for something to eat. The steak baguette at this place is something in it's own league simple and extremely effective just damn good pub food! Hats off to the kitchen and the lovely front of house staff. We shall be back again very soon for another one!

Visited here as part of a group of 19 people - families/couples. We were staying at a local campsite. We reserved a table and it was ready on arrival. How to order was explained and simple, there was a good choice and everyone was happy! Food arrived very promptly and extra sauces etc found when asked for. Food was very good. Ice cream option for kids for pudding was a good price as well.

This pub was the nearest one to the property we rented so we decided to visit! It’s a hideous building and yes just like some of the reviews say it’s a throw back to a 70s holiday camp! There’s a good choice of drinks, the staff were friendly and efficient and although we didn’t eat from what I saw the food looked good! It really needs a great deal of money spending on the building and decking area as it is very tired and run down! I’m sure if my children were still little they’d have had a great time in the arcade! The ladies lol was clean! My husband said the men’s needed a good jet washing and a ton of bleach!!!!Great views though and a really fab gin and tonic x

Would be a forgettable pub if it weren't for the view over Portcothan Bay. Friendly staff and good cask ale (Tribute and Doom Bar are staples as far as I can tell). Interior was a bit tired. I wouldn't rush back for the burger (cheap, salty meat), but the fish and chips was dependable (and reasonably priced given the portion size). 3/5 without the view.

The food is really well cooked and the bar staff are great. They really looked after us. Dogs are welcome.

The décor looks like it has escaped from a holiday camp but the staff, food, drink, location and views are all great!

The tradgedy of the Tredrea is that is is in the best location for a pub with fantastic views of the ocean and the Portcothan valley. It used to be a great little pub too but in recent years it has become an absolute dump. The decking overlooking the fabulous view is being allowed to rot while the inside is being filled with horrific slot machines. There’s a pool table but watch you don’t end up in the bottom left corner because you’ll be shoving your elbow into Noel Edmonds’ head as the table is boxed by an Edmonds bandit.

I visited this establishment with friends (one who had travelled all the way from Gujarat for the legendary onion rings) at Easter. The bar staff were amazing - and very knowledgeable about local things to do - like visiting a chocolate factory. There is a book exchange with a good selection of action books. The gents were the best I’ve seen in Porthcothan. There’s even a baby changing room. We left with good beer in our bellies and smiles on our faces. Oh - and I forgot to say - there are stuning views. My only suggestion- They only had junior monopoly. And where is the parrot?

Ok so on the way in you pass an amusement arcade, the kids will love it so jog on in.

We stayed not far from the Tredrea for four days in early March. Whilst we didn't eat at the pub we did visit twice for drinks. The bar staff are friendly and attentive, the beer (Betty's) slid down wonderfully. The next day we were back and the lady behind the bar remembered my order! Can't beat that sort of service. I know the place has had it's problems but I really hope the corner has been turned.

Saw this place on a site listing pubs that allow overnight stays in motorhomes and I’m pleased that we went in for dinner before going to bed. The very helpful lady behind the bar recommended the fish and chips and it was fantastic, obviously fresh...

View to die for I Love drinking here the Bar Staff are always really welcoming and happy to chat with you.. The best place to go for a drink especially when the sun sets so many different places to sit according to the weather the food is really good I will always come back a Gem

Stopped at Tredrea on passing for a drink, decided to have lunch, hubby ordered roast pork I ordered vegetable lasagne, pork arrived and don't think you could get much more onto what was a large plate, as for as I could make out there where...

I've been visiting this pub with my family since I was a child, I have always found this venue to be welcoming, friendly and comfortable.

We have been coming to Porthcothan / St Merryn fro the last ten years.

We arrived off the coastal path on a Sunday evening and got the best meal.

After walking the South West Coast Path from Padstow, we were hungry. From where we were staying, it was a further mile to walk -- down and then up. It only made us hungrier. I was delighted to learn that food was served all day, so that our arrival at 5:00 PM as ok. Spacious place with views. Friendly staff. My wife got the fish and chips (it was huge), and I ordered the vegetarian lasagna. We were both quite happy. Modestly priced. And the mile walk back to the b and b went by quickly.

Pulled in here on a very hot day for a nice cool drink. Instead of just a drink I had one of their Cheeseburgers. Let me tell you it was scrumptious. The meal also consisted of salad, chips and onion rings. It was one of the best burgers I have ever had and would thoroughly recommend you stop in here if you are passing by. Steph was behind the bar and she was very welcoming. If it's a nice day I would highly recommend sitting outside, the view is wonderful and you can see right across Porthcothan Bay. All in all a very pleasing experience.

I live in the area so I call into the Tredrea fairly regularly and I always get a warm welcome from the staff there, whether it's deserted or high season.

Last year I seem to recall giving the Tredrea a 1* review. This year I'm glad to see they've improved, but there is still a long way to go.

Whilst a little dated and certainly not somewhere to visit for a special occasion. The 'tred' can be relied upon for a good basic meal after a day at the beach.

Have been coming here for years to enjoy the views, though that used to be all it really offered. After sitting indoors in the rain on repeated visits and saying it needed to ditch the curtains and give it a coat of paint, they've done exactly that. Have heard they've now got a pizza oven but will have to wait until next year to try that. Also, WiFi signal is very good now if that's important to you

You won't find a better view and place to sit out in all of Cornwall. Just wonderful for enjoying a beer or two after a hard day fighting the waves on lovely Porthcothan beach. Food basic but fine, building could do with some TLC - but that's not really what you'rhe going for, is it?

Fantastic views from this pub over Porthcothan Bay. A great pit stop after a day on the beach. A good selection of Cornish drinks - Rattler, Tribute, Korev. We enjoy sitting outside with our children who have a play whilst we have a drink. We didn't eat there so can't comment on the food but worth a visit for the view alone.

Went on Sunday early evening. A little bit anxious as the building is really tired ..but needed to eat as walking a bit of the SWCP. However, the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the views are stunning. We had fantastic weather and ate a marvellous meal outside, 2 sea bass, 1 linguini and a mushroom pasta. No need to go to 15!..Do not be put off by the building!

We come here for dinner as we were staying in a local campsite. Well what a good experience. Good was amazing. Portions were generous and they are dog friendly. Staff are also attentive and nice!Well worth a visit.

Went here on Saturday night and sat out in restaurant section. Fantastic views. Service was good, had the lasagne that was very nice and hubby fish and chips that was a large portion and very tasty! Better than Mr Steins! Yes simple menu and a little shabby but if you want a reasonable easy meal with great views then would recommend it! We will be back!

I ordered baked cod and my personal preference would just be simple, - cod in herb butter with a handful of new potatoes glazed in butter and maybe a few carrots and peas. The cod was fine but I don't think many people would have been fussed by the pounds of unseasoned, unglazed veg. I wasted most of it which I don't love me to do. But it just wasn't tasty.
