Reviews in Cornwall

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.

A lovely experience, from start to finish. It was easy to precook on line with times and availability clearly shown. The service was excellent with drinks brought to our table immediately. The Raspberry and Rhubarb Collins cocktail was lovely. The tapas and burritos were delicious with plenty of food for the four of us. Our first meal out as a family was super. Thank you to all the staff.

Amazing. Really couldn't fault anything. Spot on food and the service received from Kieron was 5*. Being local we normally go next door to the Molesworth arms and tried something different. Was definitely worth it. Nice intimate restraunt with a really relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend the cocktails and lobster.

Really brilliant place to hang out for good vibes, good food and great service! The cocktails were amazing and great for vegans....highly recommend!

Very disappointing starting with the menu of pizzas, chips & burgers. The “modern seafood “ dishes turned out to be fish & chips or scampi & chips!! The Aberdeen Angus lasagne was awful with slimy pasta & very little meat sauce. If there was any bechamel sauce in it I never found it. The scampi & chips was adequate. The service was good as was the wine. Wouldn’t go there again.

Overpriced and poor quality. Atmosphere was fine but having booked for lunch to be told once we had been sat for a while waiting for someone to take our order that they didn’t have half the menu available and then what arrived wasn’t the quality described. Dirty glass just added to the impression. Disappointing

This is our second time eating here in the last month. The first time was a fabulous Sunday lunch. We had tiger prawns, padrona peppers, the tex mex skewer, and a crab cake. The food was great, good value and the service was very good too. We will be back.

Friday night meal with friends One of the best meals we have had. The sea bass was fantastic would highly recommend. Everything we ordered was presented and tasted superb. The service was excellent.

Sorry but was just ok. Burger over cooked making hard to chew and the food wasn’t red hot. Didn’t complain as listened to a fellow diner complaining about over cooked gammon and mouldy garlic bread and they were told there was no manager available and the comments would be passed on!!! I wouldn’t have paid that bill and so as mine was edible I paid and left. Honestly won’t eat here again.

We’ve ordered a takeaway twice since staying here at Retallack and the food really isn’t as good as we thought it would be. We ordered fish and chips and although the chips were nice, the fish was dry and the batter was soggy. Another night we ordered the burger and this tasted like a frozen burger, definitely not fresh. Staff were friendly :)

Amazing food and fabulous service - had the seafood and steak mixed platter for 2 which was delicious and excellent value for money.

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly welcoming staff offering great service. Wide selection of food and drink catering for all tastes. Good value for money.

Felt sorry for the two staff on the night (June 2021) as they clearly needed more assistance. Wish we’d read the reviews on here as it seems to be a common theme!! We waited over an hour for our food, only having ordered mains. They didn’t even come to offer us more drinks, so it wasn’t even like they were trying to milk it, just too busy, and too few staff. We received no apology for the wait or notice that it was going to be slow. The food was decent though, so I’d suggest anyone who wants to visit discusses service times/expectations on booking.

Foood really wasn’t up to the standards that we would expect, we came years ago and the food was much better. The restaurant decor is very nice but we waited a long time for our food and our childs meal was forgotten. We would not recommend and won’t be returning for food.

Lovely meal in this great pub, fantastic selection of drinks and very attentive friendly staff especially our waitress Maia. We will be back during our week in Wadebridge.

We were warned that there would be a long wait for food but a lovely waiter who was doing his absolute best under what were obviously very difficult conditions. However options on the menu were severely reduced with 4 of the main dishes unavailable. The management need to address this problem.
