The Cornish Arms

Ate here yesterday for lunch. The pros: Service was excellent and attentive. Cons: I ordered the lamb chop with fries, which cost £28. Since there were no vegetables or salad, I also ordered half a steamed courgette for £5. The chop was well cooked, but there was very little of it—minimally rendered fat and a large bone. The fries were fat oven chips. So, a tiny piece of pork, basic oven chips, and half a courgette for £33. I also ordered the souffle. It was approximately £12. It came a little undercooked and tasteless, with a tea plate accompaniment of a bit of clotted cream and ice cream served on some foul mango mix, likely scooped from a tin. My wife ordered the ox cheek. This was excellent, but again, tiny with no vegetables. Her pudding was a trifle served very oddly with a strawberry sorbet (why? Why no shortbread, etc.- odd choice). She had a glass of wine, and I had a diet Coke. All in, the bill was £103. We sat in the pub area. So, the meat was good, but the rest was not very good at all. I'd feel overcharged at £60, let alone over a hundred quid. I won't be going back.

Outstanding place to stay. Food, staff, position in Tavistock, etc, all 5 out of 5. Free car park at back if you are staying overnight. We really enjoyed our stay. The choice of beer and wine matches the outstanding food and service. Great location with easy walk around the town.

Always feel special here, lovely professional staff, food is always so tasty and interesting, lovely inside and out! The steak is INCREDIBLE! Go for the full 3 courses you won't be disappointed! The drinks are fairly priced and it's all such lovely local produce.

So after going a week early to our booking we found a delightful atmosphere the chap forgive me I can’t remember his name kindly acted quickly and we was able to grab a table and eat The food was unbelievable such taste made me want more but the food tasted that good it filled my tummy up Would love to try this in the summer as the out side looked really inviting to just hang out Great Vaule for money with its Michelin award for gastro pub was cheaper then some Plymouth restaurants

Great pub with rooms in centre of Tavistock. We stayed in the Mallard suite which was beautifully appointed. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was exceptional.

Friendly and helpful welcome. Quick checkin. Lovely room which looks like it’s had a fairly recent renovation. The breakfast service was excellent, as was the breakfast. My wife and I will stay again in the future. We would definitely recommend The Cornish Arms.

Only went for dinner which was excellent! Starters were lovely and main courses of the venison and pork chop, outstanding. The meat was tender, the accompaniments creative, delicious and beautifully presented. The service was great and not intrusive.Highly recommend.

Nice relaxing stay. Friendly staff, great food and just a lovely couple of nights away

Super Inn with spacious, recently refurbished rooms. Really friendly staff and lovely food. Would certainly stay again. Recommended.
