The best restaurants serving British food in Tywardreath Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

I don’t get back home from up country often and it's a treat to go out for a proper pub dinner with family. We had a lovely Friday evening with excellent food, be aware it’s not waitress service and you order at the bar. Also it’s popular and it’s worth making a booking. We’d had two of the boneless BBQ beef, the fish cakes and the 1/2 chicken and ribs. All perfectly cooked and handsome serving sizes. This is proper Cornish cooking, simple and tasty food with Kittow’s the butcher quality meats. The chips were swapped for mash no problem. Stokes quality condiments if needed. All meals arrived at the same time, I couldn’t fault anything at all about our meal and we all had a lovely evening in a traditional real Cornish pub. The St Austell HSD was faultless too. The ladies liked their wine. Highly recommended for taste and value, the only thing missing was a real fire blazing in the hearth as it was a wet and windy evening! A fantastic chef who really knows what they’re doing, and efficient friendly service. All the staff should be recognised for doing a great job. The WH is highly recommended to one and all! Thank you and well done!

We recently visited The Royal Oak pub with high hopes, as it’s conveniently located for us and we were excited to make it a regular spot. Unfortunately, our experience this evening fell short of expectations. The food was mediocre, (salad we asked to be served on the side didn’t materialise and the tuna mayonnaise jacket potato was mainly mayonnaise and not served with the crisps as stated in the menu). Everything lacked the flavours and quality we anticipated. Additionally, our drinks order was never brought to the table, which was disappointing. To add to our concerns, we noticed another couple refusing to eat their food and leaving shortly after it was delivered, citing that it wasn't up to standard. On a positive note, the atmosphere was pleasant, and it seems like a great place to relax with a pint. We would love to see some improvements in the food and service, as we’d really like to support a local establishment. Here’s hoping for a better experience next time.
