Reviews in Cornwall

Stayed in Wadebridge for a four night holiday exploring Cornwall and booked the Molesworth Arms for dinner four months earlier for our last night. Disappointed to be led to a table in the corner but was sure the food and service would make up for it...how wrong we were. The feeling we had was we were shoved in a corner out of the way and forgotten about, took ages to get an order and when I asked how much the wine was per bottle as they only showed by the glass on the menu, returned with a seemingly made up figure. Main courses were pub fayre at best but would like to see a dessert menu and maybe order more drinks...no chance as nobody arrived to offer us anything after waiting over half an hour decided we'd just ask for the bill, had to literally shout out from our corner to get it! When I told the waitress we were disapponted she said they were very busy and they only have their own area to serve!!! Pretty poor, told them would not be returning to this place if we ever find ourselves in Wadebridge again.

Dreadful, had to walk out as completely ignored, the 3 staff we did see didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing. How to treat customers etc etc on all occasions we had to use lookout restaurant it was hard work, no manager in sight!!

Excellent service from Kieran and the other staff. Food was lovely. Sat outside in the sun, such a lovely place.

The restaurant is very stylish in design and interior but the food was disappointing. It’s a shame as we wouldn’t revisit.

Went for an evening meal at The Boatyard and stayed overnight at the pub while over visiting family in Bodmin. Massive improvement in the look and feel of the place now it has been taken over an redecorated. We had the sharing platter for two and both my wife and I thought it was amazing food and great value for money. Very impressed. The service was ok but in places was a little unprofessional, mainly due to lack of age/ experience with the waiting on/ bar staff. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, pub and the B&B to anyone visiting Wadebridge or North Cornwall.

Mediocre. Service was slow, took a long time for drinks to arrive, main course wasn’t too bad, but then took a while for additional sauces to arrive. Had to ask for another drink and dessert menu, both of which then took a while to arrive again, also had to ask for the bill. Staff were pleasant and friendly enough, but seemed chaotic and disorganised, seemed to be a lot of wandering around aimlessly and chatting at the bar by the young ladies working. I had hoped for a bit more character given the history of the pub, but it was more of a generic pub type interior. Scruffy appearance of waiting staff didn’t help, I know it’s not a top class restaurant, but lots of scruffy faded jeans, plastic fashion belts, chunky trainers etc didn’t help the appearance. Drinks were fine, but expensive for location. Food (surf and turf/steak on a stone) was lovely and the main redeeming feature. Dessert was poor, eton mess sundae was mainly ice cream with a small squirt of strawberry sauce, and a small meringue on top. In all, ok for a pub meal, not worth pushing the boat out though and paying for dessert, drinks etc as well as rapidly ends up expensive for mediocre evening. Food quality needs improving for the price charged and some work on service standards and efficiency of staff.

Sunday lunch at a busy time. No complaints, excellent food and good service.

What a fab evening such a friendly venue all the staff were buzzy attentive and had the feeling they genuinely cared that you had a great experience Good was delicious and reasonably priced Would definitely recommend

Very poor experience. Food was mediocre. Service appalling. We left before we had desert. Ordered it with two different staff members and after 40 minutes we still hadn’t received it so cancelled order. How long can it take to cut a piece of cheesecake. We weren’t the only ones having a poor experience, two other tables round us had issues. If managed well it could be a success.

Great food & ambiance we will defo return been few times now better every time we go usually with the girls x

The new decor is very nice with a good mixture of seating. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food is very ‘Pub grub’ but that’s fine. The quality was good and very good portion size. Chocolate brownies were very good! Pizzas are fantastic, some of the best we’ve had and we had these as takeaway on our second night. Toppings a bit different to standard ones you would expect which was nice.

While on holiday we visited The Molesworth Arms. Nice pub that was very accommodating. They managed to find us a table on a busy Saturday evening which we really appreciated. The menu is varied with a lot of options. Service was excellent. We returned for a second visit a few day later which was also a good experience.

Ate here Friday 2/7/21 and it was awesome the service was amazing and the food was out of this world- would definitely recommend Lemon Twist!

The food was brilliant, we had no complaints. My drink was slow in arriving but the cost was taken off the bill without asking, so no complaints.

Wonderful food, at a reasonable price. Lovely friendly staff despite being run off their feet.

Very disappointed if I’m honest. Went for an evening meal at the boatyard restaurant and apart from the service which was great, everything was below expectations. We ordered the steak on a stone but it was not made clear on the menu that it wasn’t cook AT ALL before coming out, it was literally raw, no seasoning, no partial cooking, so we then had to sit an wait for the steak to cook and considering I like it well done it took a while, so then the chips were cold. The reviews and photos online are quite misleading .

Booked a table for 2 for a birthday meal for my friend. Turned up earlier thinking we could get a drink but they didn't have my booking on their computer even though I show the waitress my booking email. We were put in the back room, while other tables were empty in the front of the restaurant, however gave benefit of the doubt due to restrictions, took a while to take our drinks order, food order was taken only for the waitress to return to inform us they had no mussels left.. starters and main course came out at same time, was then asked what we wanted to do with the main course, take it back to kitchen was our response, finished our starters and the mains were brought out straight away, before we had even started our main we were advised that we needed to finish the main and drink up as they didn't have enough staff for the evening shift, we couldn't believe what we had just heard.. no customer service at all, swiftly ate what we could, drank up, paid and left. I am a local, not a holiday maker and I manage a retail establishment and if my staff took this approach I would be mortified. I will not return or recommend this restaurant. We then took a walk along the high street stopping at FUEL, had an amazing reception, a lovely desert with coffee to finish off a birthday evening. FUEL we will be back.

The Molesworth Arms benefits from friendly staff and a good atmosphere. The food unfortunately is where it is let down. Poached eggs are hard each morning, when request it to be runny the white of the egg was also runny. Sometimes you get a fruit compost with granola and yogurt, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you get 2 slices of toast other times you get one. We arrived at 6pm for an evening meal to be told over half of the menu was unavailable. Other odd things such as things not quite what you ordered unfortunately let the Molesworth Arms down. We came here 2 years ago where things were much better, although the decor has improved.
