The Cornish Arms

Our room ‘Toad’ was located at the back of the pub on the first floor. The room was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. It was very hot in the room though, so we opened the windows (the outlook wasn’t great) only to find a number of noisy kitchen extractor fans and the smell of cooking. On the (Sunday) morning we awoke to an overpowering smell of cooking (grill/fryer etc). It was stifling and felt like we were sleeping at the back of the kitchen! A great shame.

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.

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
