Vertigo Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Booked 3 weeks in advance for the restaurant, Turned up ten minutes before our reservation And told to go away until 7.00, so we walked round the block and came back. They literally asked two ladies to vacate the table for us. We were seated and given a drinks menu. I asked for the food menu to be told meals were no longer being served. What on earth did they think I reserve the table for. Besides the rudeness i asking us to go away for ten minutes and asking people to leave this must be the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Luckily we go a table round the corner with a river view at the local Indian restaurant Katmandu Palace and we had a great evening. But no thanks to ertigo

Food was nice.. Bar staff very nice but bit weird that you have to pay for drinks with front of house then pay for food separately with guy out back.. Have to say mate found you a bit rude as the very moment we finished our meal you came and slapped the bill on the table!!We had only been in there 40 mins and table was booked for a hour and half!! Clearly trying to get us out.. Not impressed as I'd driven 4 and half hours to take my kids for lunch.. Thanks for a very rushed table turn around .. Not!!

We have visited Vertigo numerous times over the years, but the kitchen has now been taken over and produce the best Thai Tapas ever. They have a lunchtime offer which is a 6 lite taster platter. This is an explosion of flavours. This is a must try and we cannot wait to visit again.

I visited here with my family. We stayed for lunch which fell on Tapas Tuesday. You get a great selection of the most delicious tapas for only £6 per person ! They were so yummy, we especially liked the rice balls and chicken satay. We also ordered some extra sides. The fries with a satay dressing were delicious and put that with the asian slaw. Just divine.The service was so freindly from start to finish from the husband and wife team. We cannot wait to go again to sample more.

We stumbled across this place one evening when on our way for a meal elsewhere. So thought we’d stop in for a cocktail. The staff were very slow and not attentive, and the cocktails were nothing special. Probably wouldn’t go again. Can’t comment on the food, but the menu sounded nice.

Booked ahead to ensure we had an out door table With a heat lamp, got given A nice private corner with cover around 3 sides. It was a could evening but it didn’t matter because of the cozy heat lights, was perfect! Visited with some friends for cocktails and they have a great range of drinks. We arrived a little early so they sat us somewhere while our table was still in use but wasn’t sat there long! All the staff were extremely lovely, drinks did take a little while to be made but the majority were cocktails and they were obviously busy so is understandable. On the next round we ordered 2 drinks each and problem was solved! We all had a lovely evening so thank you so much! Food also smelt and looked amazing so will be back to try some soon!

Visited Vertigo on a recent trip to Truro - went in for evening meal. Great selection of cocktails etc. Thai food (by Thai chef) was excellent with friendly and helpful service.

My man James (xxx) runs a ship shape ship. Excellent fun days and nights with great staff, great food and a great welcome every time. Special luv to all the babes n dudes. Fletch 'n' Jordan missing you my men. Thanks buddies, M xx

We saw this being built before lockdown and were interested but then hibernated for x months. We had a take away yesterday. Phoned up and were informed that we could wait outside the premises if we wanted and it would be brought out but went in to collect with mask of course, and had to wait about 10minutes. The menu is limited but the food absolutely excellent. We had friends staying from London who agreed with us that the quality was as good as anywhere. Please local people support this venture in these difficult times. All take away was in cardboard recyclable containers -none of this plastic rubbish -a real bonus.

Called in by chance really enjoyed the food excellent service with a smile totally recommend to others will definitely return

Great Thai food, high quality and authentic. served as street food with a smile. Good size Tapas portions- we could not finish.

A quirky pub take away style Thai food. A great evening spent with a chilled vibe. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The pub is separate from the Soi Thai restaurant but a great merge food was amazing!!! Credit to the chef.A must visit pub.

A group of us went to vertigo’s for our friends birthday, we were placed in a tiny cramped seating area that had not been cleaned ( there was a condom under the table). Disgusting. The staff were extremely rude. Especially a lady with brown hair in black clothes, about mid to late 20’s. They didn’t seem to care about the state of the seating area and were very rude when we mentioned it. A lot of the staff seemed like they didn’t want to be there and we’re very blunt and boring. They wouldn’t have a laugh and kept threatening to kick us out for not distancing when a table next to us had 15 people around it ! None of the staff distanced themselves from us or wore any PPE. The whole place was over priced, the drinks tasted watered down. We ended up leaving and going to the weather spoons over the road where we enjoyed the rest of the night.

We had a lovely post-lockdown evening out at this very friendly bar. After months of not going out it was a delight to sit in the Vertigo garden with a glass of wine and a huge and delicious array of Thai Tapas. To make it even nicer, an acoustic guitarist was playing. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to return

What a lovely place - I dropped in to ask if I could have a coffee and do an hours work and was shown to a beautiful private room, given the WiFi code and ended up ordering delicious avocado and salmon on toast for lunch. Quite a few cafes don’t like it if you want to sit loitering with a laptop, but Vertigo couldn’t have been more welcoming. I will definitely be back!

We happened on the Vertigo when looking for lunch near Truro's beautiful cathedral. What a happy find! Stepping off the busy, touristy streets into the restaurant's inner court was a pleasant relief and invited on to enjoy the excellent service and food. Soup, salad and gluten-free sandwiches did not disappoint. Basking in the sun here with cider, wine and pleasant company is now one of the warmest memories of Cornwall.

We popped into Vertigo with the intention of having a burger. We were not disappointed. To say that Vertigo serve the best burger I have ever tasted in Cornwall is not an exaggeration. The burger was delicious. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly. A word of advise, if you are not ravenous do not order the double cheese burger as a single will suffice. In short a perfect location for lunch.

Interesting menu but well presented food. Dog friendly. Lovely fish dishes - well worth a visit. Thank you

Visited Vertigo for lunch while on holiday the food + service was excellent well worth a visit will definitely b going again .

Nice find in the centre of Truro Small but lovely place for lunch and good beer. We enjoyed skinner’s local beer and a tasty crab sandwich - partner had the hummus & avocado sandwich. Lovely bread. Well served - nice people Go!

So we were in vertigo last night for a stag party. Good drinks. Great atmosphere. The views were superb. The only thing to moan about was that the conservatory area might need the drains checking. Shortly before midnight there was a pungent smell in the area which reminded me of a festival portaloo on a summers day. Other than this id recommended vertigo as a place to go.

Fuimos a visitar la ciudad (MUY BONITA) y decidimos comer en el centro. Nos aconsejaron este bonito Bar Restaurante con ambientes distintos, patio descubierto, agradable decoración y unos excelentes Sandwich.

Had the most amazing lunch a couple of weeks ago, great menu as i couldn’t decide what to get, great service and beautiful beer garden!! definitely visiting again soon!

My husband and me went to Truro shopping and just wanted a light lunch we had their special of the day crab cakes and salad. They were delicious we had our dog with us and they made him welcome bringing water and treats for him. Fist time we’ve eaten there it won’t be the last.

Had a great couple of drinks and the staff were very friendly and welcoming and even treated to dogs. Thanks lads!!! Definitely recommend!

I celebrated a significant birthday here with 25 friends. They couldn’t have been more helpful with organising and running the party for me!

Came in for a quick pint, saw the Cuban dog being eaten, had to have it, best decision I’ve made in a while, was amazing, better than the hot dogs you get anywhere else in Truro, will be having it again!

Vertigo has been a pretty safe bet for lunchtime and after work get togethers - both indoors and out. Fancied a quick lunch on a sunny but chilly day so popped in. Very warm and friendly welcome as usual, ordered drinks at the bar and went through to the rear garden - now back to full size after the river wall rebuild.

Great service. Warm welcome. Knowledgeable staff, always give recommendations. If there is a cocktail you would like that isn’t on the menu, they are always happy to make it. Very accommodating. Great all times of the day-good atmosphere. Must go!

Was amazed to see this London concept at Vertigo in Truro. I enjoyed deliciously tender salt & pepper squid paired with ’Archie’s Bloody Mary’ - a perfect combination. There is a menu of exciting food & cocktail pairings so you should find something to suit your tastes. I was there at lunchtime but was told it is available until 7pm daily.

Lovely bar/restaurant right near the cathedral. Delicious cocktails and excellent food, all reasonably priced. Really friendly service. You could do a lot worse than making this a stop for lunch when you are in Truro

Best spot for some creative cocktails, reliable service and delicious food! Favourite spot in Truro! The bar manager is constantly involved, the staff are friendly and the general vibe is great. Keep it up.

Great bar, great staff, great atmosphere! What more do you need?! Daytime it's cool and relaxed,with a cheeky menu, evening it's jumping with good tunes! Outside area is chilled with a cool bar. Visit! Enjoy! James, Ashleigh, Olivia.

Very hot Monday night but this was just right. Short walk from office, nice spot close in to Cathedral and a good area outside. Very helpful and friendly bar staff who volunteered to bring us out part of a large round. Good selection of all forms of booze. Pleasant buzz and feel. Pity we were the first to leave (after a couple of tasty double gins) but we had a long journey out of the county. Would come again.

A friend and I came here for cocktails after work which were delicious! Although slightly pricey, they’re probably the best in Truro so you get your money’s worth! Great craftsmanship and thought gone into them.

A grey dull day passed on with my wife and had dinner here taking a special dish on the board only. Very nice and reasonably priced. Friendly Staff. Note I haven't tried the main menu, this was may be a lucky day.

We only manged to stop here once over the weekend as we can across it late.

Vertigo is not only a good place to go for a Saturday cocktail night, it also has a great atmosphere during week days and afternoons. The tapas and food served is always great, not only does the kitchen use great produce but they care about each plate that leaves their kitchen. The staff are all wonderful and seem to enjoy making you feel at home. In true Mediterranean style we will go for a quick coffee and end up having a late night with a couple of tapas to snack on, always having the "one more round" especially on those evenings we can sit in their beautifull heated garden, the best kept secret of Truro!

My mum and I visited today for lunch as it was my first time here and her second, great tapas menu but as we both love calamari and didn't want to share we both had it and it was a great portion and cooked perfectly? Staff were very welcoming, attentive and polite, looking forward to my next visit to try more from the menu. Will be recommending to all my friends.

Me & a friend popped in here for lunch. The menu was good and we ended up trying a lot of the Tapas. The section was great and a reasonable price.

Went here for lunch, had the burger and it was not the most amazing burger I've ever had but it was ok and a big portion, had a full portion of chips left that I could not eat because I was too full. The service was quick and I left feeling full and happy!

Amazing staff, amazing drinks (sometimes to amazing), amazing doorstaff, amazing garden....just amazing xxx

Great welcome and service. Nice music and atmosphere and the cocktails were delicious. We had tapas which was nice though a pretty limited selection. Went with my husband and two young children and they were very welcoming even though it was probably more of a young bar. Really enjoyed my time there.

We were on holiday in Cornwall and struggling to find somewhere child friendly, dog friendly which also served excellent food. On our last day we found it "Vertigo". This bar / restaurant has everything. Great friendly staff, a fantastic bar and beer garden and fantastic food. I cannot compliment the staff enough for their attentiveness. The staff were fantastic with my 2 boys and we all cleared our plates. The food was fantastic and our furry baby also got a bowl of water to himself. Only negative is.....I wish we'd found it at the start of our holiday.

A fabulous secret garden hides behind the Vertigo Bar, with canopies for rain or too much sun ! Sofas and...

Pros: Very nice and friendly staff, and lovely decor with an attractive interior, a cute conservatory area and an outdoor area with picnic tables. Food and drink looked appealling and were well-presented.Cons: Food and drink not up to scratch (or the price). My friend and I ordered two different mocktails, for £4 each, and they both tasted exactly the same - just pure lime juice without any variety or sweetness. We also both had a brownie, at £2.50 each, and they tasted dry and plain, like eating stale bread. My friend, who is a big foodie and loves brownies usually, didn't even want to finish hers and left it on the plate. Food and drink a bit of a pity because the bar is very well-presented and they got everything else right.

We went in here on the spur of the moment as we had half an hour to spare before a service at the cathedral on a grey, drizzle Friday evening in June. We were just intending to have a drink but got tempted by the tapas which were excellent. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. We had the whole of an upper room to ourselves including being able to control the music from a console on the wall! The room was beautifully furnished with comfortable seating. Apparently it used to be the Court Room for Truro so a lovely bit of local history as well as a great venue for a drinks and food..

This is a small local bar and food place. It has a lovely garden which has tranquil views of a small river and of the spires of Truro cathedral. The snack food is excellent, and the staff are always friendly and very welcoming.

Lovely place in the middle of Truro, the staff were very friendly and couldn't have done more for us. We had the tapas and had calamari and pitta with dips, we also had a special of scallops and black pudding; all were really good and very healthy portions at very reasonable prices.

I have been popping in this bar for over 7 years for drinks, but for some reason have never eaten here. Today along with some family members we decided to have some tapas. I have to admit, I am gutted that i have never eaten here before. THE BEST tapas I have had in years !!!! And a great price !!! Please if your in Truro try the tapas here they are amazing !!!!!

We came here after having a meal on a whim and it was lovely! The staff were chatty, kind and helpful. The drinks were lovely, if a bit overpriced which is expected at a place like this. Lovely outdoor seating. Would definitely come here again

We popped in here during a lunch break this week. I noticed they had a Club sandwich on their new menu and had to call in to try it. I ordered their V Club sandwich with fries which were lovely and the sandwich was good but could have been better if the bread was better quality and they had toasted it. Compared the club sandwich at the Thomas Daniel, it is nowhere near but I would come back to try other dishes on the menu.

I like this place because it has indoor and outdoor seating. It makes it just the ticket for an evening drink with friends. I commend it to you

Saturday the 1st april we had a world teaching afternoon at vertigo in the pink room. We were so well looked after, the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was perfect for our training day and the price of the food was superb. Thank you vertigo for a great day. Sarah

Stopped in quickly for pre dinner drinks and was served by a friendly barman called Bruce. Was a lovely afternoon so we sat outside in the very nice decking area. We liked it so much we went back after dinner. Bruce was still working but overseeing the running of the bar.The girls who were working on the bar coped very well with the now busy queue. Really nice atmosphere and they even provide blankets for those getting a bit chilly but wanting to stay outside. Great night had by all

Enjoyed good service at a brief visit to this friendly and trendy bar in central Truro, There is a lack of good venues in Truro these days for a nice, well presented drink - and Vertigo certainly hit the mark.Although an infrequent visitor, I've always liked the style of this place, and will be back at the weekend when Vertigo is always buzzing!

Good place to meet friends for a great range of beers, also popular music and sport venue in this Truro central location

I recently visited vertigo with my family and was served by a Miserable barman who did really did not want us to be there for him to work apart from the service we had lovely evening. The next day I returned but with group of friends as we all went to order drinks the guy working last night continued to talk to his friends slouching over bar, explaining how he had the worse customers ever the night before VEGANS this was me and my family as he continued to say he wanted to kick my baby's head in. I will not be returning ever to vertigo because if this is how your staff value us as customers I think it is disgraceful worst customer experience ever.

Decided to try Vertigo again. Sat in the outside area which is done out nicely and nice to sit in especially when the weather is warm. Had the chicken and salad wrap. The wrap was hardly filled, not much chicken at all. Was bland and tasteless. The chips were cold and could have eaten a lot more than what I was severed. Wrote a review for Vertigo last year explaining the dish I had received was not good and had a comment saying that it had not been on their menu and I had obviously got the wrong place as they also had no mirrors in the establishment. I live about a 5 minute walk from Vertigo, I come here all the time and have done for years. The long mirrors are on the walls as you walk through the seating area on your right hand side. Pretty sure I'm more than capable to write a review for the right place. Please improve the food, would definitely love to sit outside and eat with you often. But keep getting let down when myself and my friends visit.

So so disappointed with the food and the cost of it when we went, chips that had been reheated in the frier, charged 9 quid for guacamole and a slither of cheese on three meals - a cost of which was not on the menu as an extra but was sneakily offered without pointing this out. Mocktails that consist of less actual drink than a shot but have half a bucket of ice in them for 4 quid. The tables outside were wet as it had rained but they'd not been wiped even though there appeared to be three members of staff sitting on their backsides out there. They'd wiped their table. When I asked for something to dry one with the chef told me to go get my own off the bar staff even though there were napkins in front of him that would have done the job. Bad experience, the only way I'd set foot in there again is to buy the place and sort it out - it's got great potential and it's been badly run imho

Always first choice for evening drinks, catch up drinks. Love this place! Always visit with friends, had the occasional food but always here for drinks. Reasonable priced, great atmosphere, good beer garden. Never had to complain about staff or bouncers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food and a friendly service on my lunch break. The chicken salad wrap was really nice and the service was great. Great place :)

Great service and very lovely people! Definitely would recommend :) Fab food had the homemade nachos will be back! Yummy!

We ordered three burgers with cheese and a chicken salad. The chicken was very tough and the burgers had no cheese. When we asked the guy who served us where the cheese was he said it was on it. Well, we searched but it definitely wasn't there. We asked the chef who said she had forgotten it. This was after a wait of nearly two hours and when we mentioned we were unhappy with it there was no apology. I cannot recommend this place.

Not a local but was advised to go here on Friday night after having dinner at a restaurant around the corner. Amazing beer garden out the back which was perfect to sit out in. All staff were professional and attentive. Later on in the evening one of the female bartenders became the DJ, a very rare sight! Was only going to stay for an hour but the music was so good me and my mates stayed for the whole night. Didn't catch her name but would definitely come back again to hear her play, better than some sets ive heard at major festivals. Cheers Vertigo!!!

Popped in for Tapas....can honestly say the Tapas is the best I have ever had, beautiful fresh and flavourosome, two Tapas for £7.00!!amazing!!..Meg was delightful not only in the bar friendly and helpful, but her Tapas really were gorgeous...we ordered more as they were just too good to stop eating....Staff friendly and very helpful...Thank you Tom and Meg for making our evening an absolutely delightful experience, will recommend you and will visit again and again and again....Than kyou....Claire, Newquay.

If you looking for somewhere to go on the weekend for a BUSY night out, go here. cocktails, beer, cider, something for everybody.Lovely Lady works here with brown hair about 5foot 5 who is always in a good mood :)heat lamps, blankets, river behind it, always something going on here. Give it a go

Called in for an evening drink after visiting friends in town. We had a warm welcome and there was an interesting selection of cocktails. The outside area also has comfortable seating and it was interesting to see different events advertised. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good location. Looking forward to spending summer evenings outside in the courtyard.

Came during lunch time for a few drinks, found the venue very friendly and was served by a helpful and charming batman named Ben. Would most definitely recommend to other

As the headline says, Vertigo is my favourite place to go in Truro on a night out. From hen nights to birthdays my friends and i always choose Vertigo to host our gatherings.Our last night out in Vertigo a couple of weeks ago was for a 'cocktail making night' for a friends birthday. We had private use of our own upstairs lounge bar with nibbles and our very own barman Ben (who deserves a pay rise for putting up with us!). He went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best night. All of the staff there in fact are really friendly and helpful. Thanks for looking after us again! See you again soon :)

Always visit vertigo bar as like to sit with friends for drinks outside. Decided to try out the food one afternoon, and ordered the chorizo and chicken linguine. On arrival the dish looked tasty, however was luke warm, almost cold. Lacking in flavour and seasoning. When returned home about an hour after the meal, started to feel very ill. Felt sick for the rest of the day, and had an awful taste of the dish in my mouth for awhile after. The food definitely needs improvement to say the least. Also the decor inside could do with some serious updating, take away those long mirrors and give it a revamp.

What a fantastic evening xxxNew Years Eve in Truro, where to go?Vertigo of course....We all had an amazing evening, great place ,great surroundings, great music, GREAT STAFF.Happy New Year 2016 xxxxxThank you for making our evening so special.

Very busy town centre bar which has s a great place to meet family and friends for a few drinks. Good outside area with heat lamps.

We stumbled across the bar by accident, looking for somewhere to eat pre Hall for Cornwall matinee. It looks like any other bar from out front but what enticed us in was the menu. The bar is a collection of rooms, corners, nooks and conservatory with a courtyard garden out back. It was quiet, we were there on a Thursday, but the welcome was warm, and quick. We sat out in the courtyard with blankets on our knees (provided) and ate the most wonderful pea and mint risotto and steak sandwich with fries. Absolutely wonderful and not that expensive either. The young chef even has a herb garden at the back of the garden, how about that for freshness?

We used to regularly visit vertigo so was looking forward to last night however we decided to have some cocktails, this was a mistake, the first round were ok. The second round were horrible. Firstly they had No glasses to put the cocktails in but it wasn't busy. when the helpful female bar tender asked her male counterpart what glasses to put the drinks in he said "who gives a s**t". The cocktails were then made and put into random half pint glasses. To top it all off my Tuscan mule had no ginger beer in it and my friends sling had no grenadine in. So in the end we didn't get what we asked for. Why do cocktails when you don't have enough glasses to put them in, or the correct training for staff or the correct attitude. I have run in a very popular cocktail an Wales and feel that this was nothing but shoddy. The saving grace was the female bartender was embarrassed and kept apologising.

From the outside this bar looked more like a shop-front! Step inside and you find a bar and a DJ on CDJs, we were both surprised! On first impressions, it was a young crowd and gave a bit of a "Brighton, West Street" vibe. But then, as you work your way through the building and out to the rear garden, you find a more eclectic mix of people; ages and dress codes.The rear garden is lovely, very well thought out with lots of seating and a VIP area, plus outdoor bars. The music was played through a decent-enough sound system so we could all enjoy the DJ's choice of tunes. I had my first "Jam Roly Poly" shot; Chambord with milk top and sugar-coated rim.....will be taking that little beauty back home and it might replace my favourite shot "Tuaca"!!My only slight grumble was that it got so busy as the evening drew on that it became uncomfortable. If you were sitting you had crowds of people pressing up against you, drinks and cigarette ash falling on top. If Vertigo could sort that out they'd have a dream bar, one to rival most bar/clubs that we know in Brighton.Lastly, I have to say it was so refreshing to find that the people of Truro are really blooming friendly, punters and bar/waiting staff! We will definitely be back.

We just had my daughters baby shower at vertigo, we had the VIP area outside with patio heaters and bubbly!! We all had the best evening, the staff were amazing as was the food, I cannot thank the staff at vertigo enough for such an enjoyable evening, everything was perfect and would highly recommend this venue to anyone for any occasion, 5 star service, 5 star food and 5 star venue.

Great spot with a lovely outside terrace backing onto the river. DJs playing till late with good young, but local vibe. Went there looking for an after pub drink and ended up staying later for the outside ambience and the decent tunes.

We ran our graduation night at Vertigo with students from our foundation Course. The evening was perfect, Caroline opened the bar especially for us and the staff were professional and very attentive.

Have been here on a number of occasions now and have had a great time everytime.Great for a chilled afternoon drink in the sunny garden or for a dance in the evening. Refreshingly good DJ's and a great vibe overall.

i wish we kept on walking, sad bland food and staff that have zero personality, the only saving grace is the beer garden and even then its not amazing, rather overstuffed with tables so you on top of each other with all the cigarette smoke.

Lovely summer garden venue for families and friends - attended small 21st birthday evening with hot buffet (good value) in reserved area under pagoda. Great chef and good quality food - chicken, various sliders, wraps,nachos,etc. Relaxed and friendly. The venue is a large old house with interesting rooms, overlooked by the cathedral. Garden has conservatory and blankets for cold weather!

I popped into Vertigo for lunch in the beautiful weather today after hearing many good reviews! Beautiful day, the chef was on his own & the garden was packed. Despite this our food arrived in just 30 minutes and I wasn't disappointed! As a pescetarian I enjoyed a falafel wrap with side chips - filling, delicious and great value! Well done Vertigo, I'll be returning for sure.

Popped into Vertigo for lunch today and ordered Cheesy Nacho's.What turned up was definitely the best Nacho's I've ever tasted - they were homemade !!!!!In the past I have only ever had the usual nacho's out of a packet, but these were made at Vertigo and were brilliant.

My first visit to Vertigo and I have decided that I will be returning again and again. I chose the Lamb Kofta Burger and my grandaughter went for the Languine ... Can only be described as awesome !!! Could barely see over the burger from a seated position, presented beautifully and tasted sublime. The Languine was one of the best I have ever tasted ...(luckily she couldn't eat it all). Relaxed ambience, good beer and I was even served the chef himself !! Hope you will soon start offering Breakfasts etc too... The specials menu is the one to go for I reckon, however, it won't matter as I could see the different meals being served and it all looked delicious.....THANK YOU !! ...B.F.R.

This is the best bar in Truro - and has been for quite some years - but now that Danny is firmly established in the garden kitchen it's the place to eat and drink. A simple menu cooked to order is tasty and substantial with everything priced well under a tenner. Mini-burgers (you get two, so plenty for a good lunch), chicken satay (with a real salad and a real dressing) and the One Pot Breads - ie chilli in a hollow loaf, which is enormous ! - are superbly prepared by Danny and if the sun is shining then the recently refurbished garden is the place to take a break from shopping or work...just don't be sure you'll actually get around to going back to work or the shopping.

My first visit to Vertigo last week, very enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere, choice of Alfresco dining or indoor, as the weather was good we chose to eat outside. Choice of cushions and blankets to choose if required, nice touch. Electric heaters were there if needed, the chef put them on for a while, the lights were nice.The chef was cheerful and helpful, recommending his specials of the day, he was very good with the children, an extra nice touch. The food was all cooked outside just near where we were sitting, the chef was chatting to us as he cooked, the food was beautifully presented, and tasted even better, the portions were of good size, I would recommend this place to anyone needing a nice family meal out, where they can relax and enjoy their food alfresco style

my favourite place for a drink in truro! Daytime and nighttime atmospheres are very contrasting, but In a good way. Lovely staff woth great decor and food x

My wife and I dropped into Vertigo to try the (fairly) new lunch menu yesterday, and were very very impressed.I had chilli beef in a hollowed out bowl of bread and it was absolutely excellent - and really competitively priced to boot!!The chilli, topped with sour cream and guacamole was nice and spicy and finishing off the meal with eating the bowl, which was by now infused with the juices from the chilli, was 'the icing on the cake', if you can excuse the terrible mixed metaphor!My one complaint is that I was too full to polish off the entire meal.If one adds the experience of sitting in a really nice garden beneath the spires of Truro cathedral with a drink in hand, then things were just about as good as it gets.

Being a local I frequent Vertigo for after work drinks quite often but this was the first time for food and I will definately return. A friend & I had a light lunch of filled potato skins which came with a salad and was more than enough for us - we couldnt believe the whole meal for both of us came to £9!! The presentation looked great, tasted lovely and you could tell the food had been freshly prepared. Staff were friendly - the chef himself brought the meal to the table and checked all was ok. With the sunny spot we'd picked in the garden we could have stayed there all day!

Had chicken satay this weekend which was great value, very filling served up by extremely friendly staff, with the added bonus of a delightful outdoor garden, a unique space in Truro!! Keep up the good work Vertigo!

Saturday lunchtime in May. What a refreshing transformation! The 'Al fresco' dining outside has been attractively restyled. Delicious food, friendly efficient service & the sun was shining! Chose a table outside in the garden by the river. The chef asked how spicy I wanted my Thai Green Curry ! Now that's service! Good portions and 'Daily Specials' complements an entertainingly different fixed menu. And the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend without hesitation.

I had the most delicious chicken and bacon burger here! Yummy fresh ingredients and you get more than your money's worth (it was on special today though, not sure of original price.) The chef was very friendly and welcoming and the cocktails also went down a treat :) Definitely will be returning!

I have been visiting Vertigo for years, what a pity it has gone downhill. All of the staff are new and the "chef" at the outside bar was very slow, not very polite and the chicken satay kebabs, which we ordered were tasteless and the satay sauce needed a blood transfusion! It is a great shame that the food and service has gone downhill so much. Until last year they did excellent steak sandwiches and burgers with fries. Nothing worthwhile is now on the menu. The only reason i would go there now is for a cup of coffee but only if the weather was warm enough to drink outside in the courtyard. I am not quite sure what clientele they are catering for at lunchtime,certainly not for people who are hungry, as what my friend and I had ,could only be classed as a small snack!

Delicious Tapas of never ending variety coupled with seriously good wines. Ever so friendly staff offering excellent service. London service standards at rural prices

Needing refreshment on a shopping trip visited Vertigo with daughter and granddaughter day after Boxing Day. Ordered our food and drink consisting of sandwiches and soup but unfortunately this order took a very long time to materialise. Waitress had no idea of what we had ordered, dropped my granddaughters chips over her and the floor, salad with sandwiches not fresh but soup OK. In the time it took we could have returned home and prepared our own food! Very few people in cafe when we arrived so if it had been busy we would have died of starvation! Waitress needed customer training and to stop calling customers 'honey'.

Very nice location and setting however the smell from the downstairs toilets does tend to waft around the place as the door is left open quite often, perhaps an auto locking or heavy duty door is required to combat this. The staff are usually very nice and friendly however they do tend to finish their conversations first before serving sometimes.On one occasion my main concern was for the price of a cocktail that I was served a couple of months back. I asked the pleasant waiter if he knew how to mix the cocktail 'spritz". He did and went ahead to make it although I had to inform him that more soda was required at the end to soften out the Apperitivo-Apperol. My partner and I had recently holidayed in Venice, Italy. The spritz cocktail is served widely there and the price for one barely went above 3 euros and you got a nice plump olive in it too. However I did not expect to be charged £10 for it back in England despite the fact that I had only just bought one in another bar in Truro the night before at a much more reasonable price. When I was told the price I had already been sipping on the drink so I felt obliged to pay, although I must say that the waiter who mixed the drink for me had too been sipping from it through the mix process as he had never tried it, so I really should have asked for his contribution to my bill too. I did ask why it was so expensive and he informed me that I was to be charged for each spirit separately and as far as I'm aware a cocktail is a mix so I was confused as to why it should be this way. Due to possible embarrassment I paid however I have only been back once due to this. I feel that your staff should be a bit more informative to their customers before making a drink and then unleashing a monstrous bill at the end.

What a lovely hidden gem lovely atmosphere staff food wine free pies with a app on the night we went excellent cocktail guy in the outside bar. And nice to see the owner out socialising lovely lady and new brunch and roast menu starting in nov bring it on .......

From the street the restaurant/ bar looked interesting so we went in to take a look at the menu. There were 2 young lads behind the bar who totally ignored us. Upon my enquiry as to whether they were serving lunch they barely acknowledged us, being far more interested in checking out Facebook on their mobile phones. I asked a second question which was greeted with a grunt at which point I told them to forget it and left. Bearing in mind we were the only potential customers I was surprised they were not keen to secure our custom!

This is conveniently located near the centre of Truro. It is a lovely setting, with a conservatory, a pleasant garden, and a series of lounges upstairs and downstairs. A cocktail bar/music venue in the evening, it also offers a n all day menu (club sandwiches, salads, etc) throughout the day which makes it a convenient lunch stop. However the service is very mediocre, and the food is only average.
