I visited for the last time. My lunch was wonderful as usual , Hubby had the ploughman’s . I couldn’t wait for a piece or should I say slab of strawberry & cream cake. This wonderful place CLOSED at the end of September. The lease no longer viable , the cafe has decided to move to TRURO . So although I am sad , I know I will be able to visit TRURO for my delicious Cakes. So if you love this place like I do look out for ‘The Cake House’ in Truro .

Well I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't that .... There are some rules when eating here but that's not surprising. It's not your usual restaurant. Cost is around £35+ per head which is a bit of a shock however the food is of a very high standard and tasted amazing. All staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is not in the prison but in the grounds in an old chapel. Would I go again 🤔 YES if it was a special occasion.

Mi esposa y yo pedimos un sándwich, huevo mayo y un atún mayo, patatas fritas, ensalada y ensalada de col a un lado. Ambos vinieron en pan espeso fresco, las limaduras eran abundantes y la ensalada de col era hermosa. Tal cambio para pagar por algo y conseguir cada centavo. Muy recomendable este lugar!

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

We have been coming to this establishment for several years on our holidays and have been greatly let down this year. Our food was lovely, but due to a server error when taking our order some of our food was missing. The staff weren’t very receptive when we tried to figure out what had gone wrong, but shortly discovered that the waitress has taken our order incorrectly. This led to us being over charged for a cream tea for one but it didn’t include the tea. We didn’t feel very welcomed. We always have to sit outside because we have a dog, which we completely understand, but there were minimal tables available and it looked run down. As a family we feel it has lost its spark.

What a lovely place , the tearoom staff and the owner are amazing and so friendly. With a vintage eclectic theme and beautiful china this place is like something out of Alice in wonderland meets Diagon Alley with such a cozy vibe. The food is fresh and lovely and the staff came around with tasters of Victoria sponge whilst we enjoyed our food . Will definitely return to this place such a relaxing experience thankyou !

A wonderfully intimate culinary experience! Only a handful of tables so a really special feeling, service is extremely attentive and the waiters knowledge of the food is impeccable! The kitchen is open so you can see the hustle and bustle, however it isn’t noisy or at all uncomfortable - highly recommend!
