The best restaurants in Truro Moresk Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Absolutely outstanding fish and chips! Crispy yet fluffy chips cooked to perfection, beautiful fresh fish with the lightest batter. We also had pineapple fritters, which were the best we've ever tasted. We found Charlie's by chance after reading a blog recommendation as a last-minute dinner, we were so impressed we went back again on our holiday. Huge thank you to the staff for being so kind and friendly. You are really great ambassadors for Truro and your business.

Love the ethos of the place. "The staff and volunteers are being trained in invaluable skills and hospitality experience to help them improve their career prospects. Guests are welcomed to make our house their home for the day, sample the menu and meet the wonderful people who are giving back to the community!" The environment is warm and inviting and the staff are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I'd gone there, as part of time put aside specifically to sit and reflect on the memory of someone. I wanted somewhere relaxed and unhurried, where I wasn't made to feel I'd overstayed my welcome. It was certainly better than many places in that regard. It transpired that they run their own radio station which was transmitted into the cafe. Great idea for those involved in creating and running that. However, the music wasn't to my taste and was rather loud, so I was unable to relax. Of course some visitors will actively enjoy this aspect. I wanted to point it out because it may possibly affect people's ability to enjoy the place fully, as a cafe and meeting place. I would have struggled to have a tranquil conversation with someone over coffee. It would be a great place for small groups to have informal meetings but again I think the level of the radio transmission would be unhelpful in that situation. It may be that the radio station isn't transmitting all day, every day. I can only review my own experience there. The place was quite "buzzy" enough to create a warm atmosphere Some very quiet, non abrasive background music would have been perfectly acceptable to me, I just found this to be too invasive. It may be that the benefits to the volunteers in operating the radio station, far outweigh the benefits of maybe getting more customers into the cafe ... and I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm sure the project is all about balance and I wish them every success. If you don't mind loud, fashionable music, then it could be a great little hideaway for you.

My partner and I visited Grounded today and had the best toasties we've ever had. Plus the staff were super friendly. Can certainly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Too full to try the delicious looking cakes.

The pictures looked mouthwatering and we were blown away. All dishes well planned, executed and presented beautifully. Top service and very good price value. A must visit for food enthusiasts in Truro. Will come again!

Great food, the only criticism was the lighting was a bit to dimmly lit but otherwise excellent

What a treat. Amazing menu (we are all vegetarians) and exceptionally helpful staff. The food was delicious. The chilli paneer was especially gorgeous. Very impressed all round!!! Awesome. Highly recommend.

Great food and fab friendly service, we would definitely go again. The food and drink service was very efficient and the lady who served us was great

I have loved staying here. Had a family event here. There was 20 of us in total... fantastic staff, fantastic rooms. Would whole heartedly come back again.

Lovely pub, food and atmosphere. Staff very professional and friendly. Would and will recommend to friends and family!

Really nice welcome, we came in early and the bat man was happy to serve food before the actual serving time. He was very nice and nothing was too much. Will definitely come here again.

Really great food and well presented. Many thanks for a great experience and a new find in Truro.

Saw this place on social media and was very excited to try. I have to say the cakes are nothing like you see online and in person they’re very disappointing.

Great staff, lovely friendly atmosphere.

Celebrating a special occasion but so disappointed. My partner had the topside which was delicious, accompanied with Yorkshire pudding, 3 pieces of lightly roasted potatoes, 1 piece of carrot and parsnip ( not whole ! ) I asked as the nut roast wasn't on the menu and didn't want ravioli for my Sunday lunch, if the chef could give me a plate of vegetables. I had the same minus the beef but served with meat gravy, which I said I couldn't eat. Asked if it was possible to have a vegetable gravy, this took ages to arrive and my partner had just about finished his meal. We had no other vegetables. £18 for the roast !! much better value elsewhere in Cornwall.Drinks over priced also . Unfortunately we won't be returning or recommending it to family and friends

Last visited this establishment in May, and yet again was not disappointed. Good food, good staff no complaints looking forward to my next visit.
