Reviews in Cornwall

My husband & I ate at Langmans last night and it was a truly memorable experience. You are treated as a personal guest and treated to a wonderful meal of the highest culinary standard. They took particular note of culinary/dietary restrictions and made sure everyone was able to enjoy their meal to the full. Everything about the evening was excellent and left us wondering when we could arrange to visit the West Country again, so that we could enjoy the experience again. Our only regret is that we live so far away! Do give this place a try - you will not be disappointed.

What a fantastic place to go!! Thank god the new owners know how to be landlords and members of the community well done Gary and Jane. The decor has been transformed and so has the atmosphere no longer shoved up in the family room everyone is made welcome, the place has moved up leaps and bonds and returned to its former glory!! I will return every time I visit no need to shop lol..

Hurrah and congratulations to the owners and their staff, this place rocks. Great atmosphere, cracking drinks and food menu and all in a majestic old chapel. we luuuuuv it!

i went here for dinner last Sunday and the food was absolutely amazing so tasty. meal was absolute fantastic!!

The food was absolutely amazing and so well presented. It was without doubt the nicest food I've eaten out in Cornwall

Excellent, I don't really want to tell anyone about this utter gem! Again, last night was the best food I have ever eaten in Cornwall bar none, ambience perfect and the upstairs seating is so cosy. Menu variety quite fishy. This is cooking at the very best and can't wait to go back. Scallops and mussels were better than many overrated 5* London hotels. PS: Don't tell anyone because this is still unspoilt/not-mass-produced!

Great food, nice busy atmosphere, felt slightly cramped though, everytime the waitress walked past she had to ask us to move. Which after about ten minutes grew slightly annoying. Apart from that we had a very nice meal.

You cannot visit the Scillys without treating yourself to a cream tea at Juliets. Don't worry about the calories, just enjoy the views over Hugh Town and out to St Agnus.

This is such an amazing setting on the terrace overlooking the water and it feels a bit exclusive too. So I was surprised that you have to order food from the bar having got your table number and pay upfront like a pub. Food was pretty good but pricey for what it was and how it was served. Maybe it's different at dinner...

The best Mexican I?e been to, the portions are massive so don? order too much, will be back there in about 3 weeks...

Wow Just go here, The restaurant advertises itself as being unique in Cornwall but having travelled a lot it's pretty unique in the UK if not the World! The only place I've been that comes anywhere near here is Cafe Deco in Hong Kong, A great concept, excellent setting with exceptional food, will definitely be going back. Dave

an average place. fun and good

This is a world away from it's previous life as the Truro Meadery. It is decorated in a light and modern way but also incorporating the old stained glass windows. The food was delicious and well presented. I would say this restaurant is of the highest standard and is amongst the most reputable eateries in Truro. I'll definitely be returning, in fact, a booked for another meal on my way out!

Smugglers Den is such a beautiful quiet spot. We enjoyed a lovely light Lunch outside. Menu has plenty to choose from and cooked to perfection. Would thoroughly recommend and can't wait to go in the evening.

Crikey the food is good here! Had a business lunch on the hoof but still had time for a superb amuse of Jerusalem Artichoke veloute, a main special of gently Moroccan spiced, slowly braised neck of lamb with perfectly cooked veg and creamy mash my lunch guest had a goats cheese dish with onion marmalade, bean shoots and sundried tomato. We finished with a velvety chocolate marquise and home made campari and grapefruit sorbet. Deal done!

My God can Truro really be changing into a proper city? A slice of city sophistication and cool style has just opened its doors, at last somewhere for the Truro cool cats to strut!

I had the pleasure of going there for lunch with a friend and we were seated at one of the tables that overlooks the beach. The food is Italian inspired and the menu seems to alter slightly from day to day (the menu is printed for that day and so we were able to keep a copy), On arrival we were given a copy of the menu along with a wine and drinks list. Our waitress then came over with a wooden board with various breads on it. We were told to "take a couple of pieces" which I thought was a bit mean as there were more than two kinds of bread on the board and I would have liked to have tried all of them plus the pieces were not that big. Along with the bread we were given four olives in a dish and some peppery olive oil for dipping. The wine is quite expensive as is the normal for restaurants and so my friend and I not being big drinkers opted to have a non alcoholic cocktail. I had a Watgergate Cooler and my friend had a Gentle sea breeze. Both were very nice and cost £4.00 each. We also had a bottle of Cornish Mineral water which cost about £2.50. You can choose to go for a set three course meal which costs £24.50 or if nothing grabs you from the set menu then other dishes were available at a cost of £9/13 for starters, £14 for pasta or £19/20 for mains and £8 for desserts. My friend and I chose to opt for choices from the set menu. For starters we had Spring salad - lovely fresh vegetables: asparagus, radish, carrot and peas served with rocket leaves and a sprinkling of cheese. For main I had a Spaghetti, fresh pea carbonara (the only non meat/fish dish on the menu) which on arrival looked quite small but was so rich that you couldn't have really eaten any more. I was particularly pleased that it was well seasoned with cracked black pepper (big fan) as there are no condiments on any of the tables in the restaurant. My friend chose Bolton Free range chicken which came on a bed of spring greens with a porcini mushroom and asparagus cream. For desert I chose Chocolate cake, fresh cherries and mascapone while my friend had grilled apricots with praline ice cream. I thought the desserts were very small especially as mine came on such a huge plate compared to the size of the cake. The cake was very rich - like a brownie and was served with a dolop of mascarpone and four fresh cherries. My friend's apricots came on a more appropriate sized plate but again was small in that it consisted of two apricots halved and grilled and a scoop of ice cream on top. To finish we had a coffee each - double expresso and an americano. In total our bill came to about £69.00 (excluding service). My overall view is that yes it is more expensive that your average restaurant but it does have a "celeb" status so you are paying for that. That the food at first glance looks small for the price but I found that actually I was very full although I still believe the waitress should have left the bread board! At the end of the day it is in a fantastic location and we found the waiters and waitresses to be very helpful and for the place as a whole to have a lovely atmosphere (the restaurant was practically full when we went) and even if you only go for a special occasion the atmosphere and location make up for the fact that you will probably have to spend a bit more than normal.

I wanted to go somewhere special for my 50th birthday, and having eaten before at Tabbs Portreath I knew their new Truro restaurant would be just the place. I was not disappointed! It has been beautifully decorated and furnished in a modern but relaxed style and is very welcoming on arrival. The service is first-rate, professional but friendly at the same time. And the food.......absolutely wonderful. The combination of flavours is quite exceptional, every mouthful a delight. My birthday was indeed a very special occasion. For anyone who has not yet discovered Tabbs, you have a treat in store!
