Probably the best meal we have had in a long time. Service and attention to detail was superb and the food outstanding. Can't recommend it highly enough.

This is a great restaurant/take away. Been going here for 15 years now and always had a great meal. I highly recommend trying it. The food is amazing and I go here every week. The staff are friendly, they also do delivery.

We was pointed to our table, not even shown. The waitress asked us for our drinks as we were waiting to be given a table. We sat at the table no one told us we could get food from the buffet, we were ignored all evening and all the waitresses were on their phones. They shouted across the room in Chinese, and the day after both me and my partner got severe food poisoning. Strongly don't recomend this restaurant as I dread to think what would of happened if this was a child, elderly person or pregnant lady.

Eaten here many times, it's excellent ! Huge menu of fresh hot food..Staff very friendly and interact with children. Buffet meals are "all you can eat". Decor has recently been improved but your not there for the decor, Easy to find and plenty of car parking spaces, ENJOY.

Our first stop on a recent holiday in Cornwall was Chips Ahoy on the recommendation of a friend who knows we like to eat well! We found the fish and chips here to be quite simply superb. The menu is limited but the portions are generous, the fish as fresh as can be and the cooking perfect. Wonderful, light, crispy batter, not at all oily, great chips and good mushy peas. Chips Ahoy is only a tiny shop with limited seating but it is deservedly popular - queues form well before opening time! For us this is one of the best in England.

This is an awesome quiet pub and all the staff are always cheery.

I had crispy fish with mango salad made with Cornish Pollack,with Feather Drop Hill white wine followed by Beef Rendang with Cornish beef. Accompanied by Santa Rita Merlot. It was a lovely tasty meal and I went away thinking how peaceful food is from this part of Asia and will definitely go again.

What a super find! Great location, intimate dining space and wonderful food served by Vicky and prepared to perfection by mum Valerie. Fal oysters freshest possible and fish and seafood as good as it gets. Lovely as Truro is, it's worth the trip simply for this sublime dining experience - these enterprising ladies deserve your support.

I found the food very good for Italian (shame they don't do sunday dinners), the bar is nice.

went to chippy last friday, lovely clean shop, fish and chips freshly cooked, good value for money, fish delicious, batter crispy, chips not soggy and greasy. so in all highly recommended. thanks.

Been before earlier in the year and enjoyed the takeaway , went again yesterday , big mistake , stale soggy poppadoms , chewy nan , food soaked in fat and at best mediocre , and expensive , never again.

If you like to be well treated and expect first class service, fabulous food, without being rushed, book a table here. Please don't all read this and book tonight because we haven't booked yet and want to go again. Small hint though, don't eat too much before you decide to go because you need to do all 3 courses, they're too fabulous too miss one out !!

Austell's has been through some hard times recently, with changes of ownership and staff. If you feel uncertain, be reassured that all is in running order once again. Brett is back at the helm in the kitchen, and there you may see him turning out a sequence of great dishes of unfailingly high standard. Emma, at front of house, welcomes you and attends to your every need. All the former little touches of elegance are back.And for dining out of this quality the prices are very moderate.You don't believe everything you read in recommendations? Well, don't miss the chance to go and check this one!

only ever had takeawys but the food was really edible and I am quite fussy as I have cooked for a living.

great bar great stall good layout etc superb all round good place food is fab good value

Like the above comment, we loved the deli - and we would like to purchase another "Scilly Old Bag" shopping bag...as ours was "removed" by someone at our local supermarket store in Buckingham. It rhymes with Tresco! My wife is desolate and I really would like to buy another one on-line. Please!

havent been here for years as last few times the food hasnt been brilliant and everything had feta with it. Went as recommended by friend and had checked the vegetarian options online. Had the starter which should have been ciabatta but appeared under the mass of salty vegetables - to be just soggy but slightly toasted bread. Main was Moroccan Wild Mushrooms with Wild Rice - just about the most unattractive meal you could have placed in front of you! looked like something a child would have created, no flavour, tasted like overload of Green Oxo - and left most of it. when asked if I enjoyed my meal, said wasnt good as could be seen, but nothing more said - one member of staff helpful, rest were smiling but didnt have a clue - sorry Springer, wont be joining you again - as a good cook myself, it is clear they havent got a talented cook in situ - on a slightly positive note, my partner enjoyed the fish dish
