The best restaurants serving Default food in Gunnislake Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Came here for the carvery on bank holiday Sunday and it did not disappoint. The vegetarian option was delicious and the meat options were also very tasty. Everyone serving was so lovely and attentive and it was a great atmosphere. Our server was Dylan and they were great

A lovely cosy friendly place in Gunnislake to go for a chat with friends, especially on a rainy day. The food is excellent and vegan and vegetarian options too..

Following the reviews on here & having just moved down to Calstock nearby three days before, we booked a table of six - one a birthday & three visitors down from Yorkshire. We even went over the evening before to check it out & decided it looked ideal - there was a fresh meat stand in one corner & lovely strains of presumably a local choir practicing folk songs wafting down from upstairs, great beer & we were shown the table we would have - all good. Turned up next night &, though the same barman was busy, nodded us through to our table & settled in. Just a few people drinking at the bar & no one eating at that stage. Got drinks in & looked at the menus. And then we waited, & waited. Two lovely young girls serving but in the end , after 15minutes we had to make a point of calling out to one to try & place our order. In the meantime the barman had come out to chat to a couple who had sat down to eat but did not come over to us. We were informed by the girl that we could not place an order yet as the kitchen had a large party to cook for upstairs & we’d have to wait till they were all done. Surprised, we enquired how long that would be. After checking, we were told half an hour… We were distinctly not impressed with this as at no point had we been warned that this might happen so after a further 15 minutes & drinks finished, we decided to cut our losses & leave. The large barman, who was the only person seemingly in charge, at no stage came over although he was obviously aware of our plight. Miraculously, when we got up to leave he disappeared completely & one of the young ladies was left to see us out. We expressed our complete disappointment with the whole situation & left. We felt extremely sorry that the girl had been left to carry the can & swore never to bother coming back., I cannot believe this is the same place as in the other reviews - apart from the lovely pub & excellent beer. A total disappointment. We ended up having an excellent Indian meal in Callington which thankfully salvaged the evening.

This appeared to be the only café open in Calstock when we went, so it’s not much to say it was the best cafe in Calstock, but it probably is …. Warm welcome, great coffee, extremely clean toilets (not often mentioned but hugely welcomed), tasty snacks! Highly recommended Thank You!

Fantastic Great location and the best ice cream. My son has a dairy allergy and even their dairy free sorbet was superb Stunning views too

What a lovely pub. Very friendly staff and owners. Warm and inviting with a roaring log burner. But above all, lovely well cooked meals most of which are home made! My husband had the home made beef Bourguignon which was rich and tender (and of course delicious!). I had the gammon with pineapple AND egg AND home made chips with onion rings and peas. I had to take home the home made Baileys Cheesecake which was OUT OF THIS WORLD. If you don't believe me, try it!

Heard some good comments from friends, in the area so tried their Sunday Roast. Ample free parking and wonderful views of the River Tamar and in the distance Plymouth Sound. Warm welcome from the Hostess and bright clean restaurant and bar. Explained hadn’t booked a reservation but was hoping they could find us a table for two. Escorted to a table and given the menus to look at. Selected two Roast Lamb Sunday Lunches and drinks. Drinks arrived followed by two plated roast lamb served on a bed of mashed carrot and swede, lamb was topped with a great looking home made Yorkshire Pudding and drizzle of gravy. The two dishes of vegetables arrived immediately afterwards. Dish one was Cauliflower Cheese and the second dish contained six roast potatoes, beetroot & fresh apples, two whole braised leaves of curly cabbage and garden peas with a full sauce boat of roast gravy. The meal looked and smelt wonderful. The Lamb was very tasty and succulent, potatoes looked fabulous with a wonderful golden crispy outside with fluffy perfectly cooked insides. Beetroot and apples complimented one another both being beautifully cooked. Not normally a braised cabbage eater, however it was the best ever I’ve tasted. My favourite vegetable however was the fantastic cauliflower cheese. I could smell the mustard in the cheese sauce as soon as it was put on the table. (Old chef’s trick is to put small amount of mustard into a cheese sauce as it accentuates the flavour of the cheese) A tip taught to me in the 60’s when I was an apprentice. Wonderful meal couldn’t fault anything. Great tasting roast dinner. Cannot praise it enough. Will be returning especially as it’s 20 plus miles nearer than our usual dinning venue.

I am concerned by the review by Jayne from December 2024. Tamar Valley Garden Nursery does not serve cooked meals, only cakes and drinks. I think her criticisms were following an experience at Tamar View

Nice national trust house and grounds. Can’t review house or formal garden as not allowed in with dogs which is annoying. Brilliant on site walks some of which are quite hilly to say the least. Restaurant delivered nice hot food but it’s so expensive as is the norm now for NT places.

These are the best Fish and Chips you'll find in East Cornwall. Excellent service and food. Dave, Sharon and their crew are lovely people. You'll love it!! 😜

5 stars for the Sunday dinner but 2 stars for the short white haired woman with glasses that works there. She was so rude and tried to use humour to hide it. When we booked and sat down, she said, “Do you want cutlery or will you eat with your hands?”. Which I didn’t know was a genuine question or not, so I awkwardly laughed and said, “Cutlery please”. She then proceeded to put down one piece of cultural each time she walked past and commented, “we’re one step closer”. Me and my parents were not amused. However, when our food came through, it was so lush. Very traditional and you can tell everything was cooked from scratch. When I was two spoonfuls away from finishing, the woman came back and asked if we were finished. I said, “Almost”, as I was seeing if my puppy would eat boiled sprouts and carrots. She then replied with, “Stop feeding your dog and finish eating then”. Extremely rude and uncalled for. We came for a quiet family holiday and this was not needed, especially for a quiet village. Please know your audience if you’re saying humorous comments as it was downright rude and insulting telling off a 30 year old woman. I guess they’re extremely keen to get their table back. Dessert wasn’t offered at all and we had to queue to get our bill. The lush food wouldn’t be enticing enough to bring us back and £10 for a pint is ridiculous. * edit - we only purchased one pint, two soft drinks and three Sunday roast dinners. I would not be coming back to this pub nor will I be recommending this establishment to anyone. It’s more likely that I will tell people to avoid this pub and the older woman with short white hair and glasses will forever be in the story I tell everyone who was passive aggressive in asking if I will be eating my Sunday roast dinner with my hands and tell a 30 year old woman off for feeding her dog.

This is friendly, oak-beamed country inn dating from the 17th century, lies in a conservation area in a rural setting off the beaten track. It has much charm and character. pleasing décor and serves a good choice of real ale. The pub has a beautiful terraced garden affords outstanding views of the Tamar Valley. . The pub is very popular with locals and hikers alike especially those walking the Tamara Trail Great selection of value for money meals available during the day There is a pub car park available to visitors. Nearest bus route Go Cornwall No 79. Alight at the main town square which is 10 minutes walk away The railway station is up a very steep hill. Well recommended I will go back

Good food, lovely decor. We were lucky to be able to sit outside in the sunshine & enjoy the mellow atmosphere of Calstock. You might get to meet the friendly cat too....

This is a lovely little pub with a big open fire. The landlady is very friendly. There is a village market held here on the second Saturday of every month and there is karaoke every first Saturday of the month with a very friendly atmosphere
