| Went here 13 Feb right before Valentinesn night, food was good, not packed because of the pub atmosphere probably. Food was very good as was the HSB, Tribute passable at best. Bar tender dizzy and not with it - not the be all and end all but staff with their head screwed on is always a plus point (It should be standard but it isnt!) Bernie5 - 16 Feb 2008 23:05 |
| More of a restaurant than pub. Had a very nice pint of Tribute here. Was with the dog on the terrace outside and asked if it started raining hard could we sit inside? Yes was the reply-away from the diners, in the corner near the bar.Great.Didn't need to in the end but upon returning the following week was told no dogs allowed. Ooh I just love English 'hospitality' ! Miles007 - 28 Aug 2007 12:51 |
| Other reviews are correct with half pub/half restaurant scenario, but if you want to be away from the food area just sit at the bar or away from the dinner tables. Its not rocket science! We visited on Valentines night looking for some decent food - not a sloppy/fuzzy eyed romantic dinner and a straight forward meal is what we had, good value for home cooked food and very tasty - couldn't fault the beer either which was my main area of interest! Will go back if I'm staying in Truro again - the food and good beer would definately be a strong enough aspect to pull me away from the Real Ale House, even though the RAH has a wider selection of real ale.

| You'd be forgiven for thinking that you'd walked into a cafe or restaurant when you enter this pub - they seem to specialise in good value food - not only the regular type of pub fare but a good selection of home made meals as well. It was pretty busy with eaters when I visited so the food must be OK, but I was only concerned with the St Austell HSD which was very nice indeed, glass topped up without being asked, too. I enjoyed it so much that I had to have another. They also had Tribute & IPA when I visited but I can get those closer to home so didn't bother to try them. Definitely a pub worth visiting if you're in Truro. Trequites - 20 Jan 2006 13:21 |
| A very nice place with friendly clientele. The food is highly spoken of but I haven't tried it myself. The place is somewhere between a pub and a restaurant but you can just pop in for the bar. redboy - 27 Dec 2005 15:26 |
