Reviews in Wadebridge

Unfortunately we did not have a good meal, we were initially put on a table right next to the bar where we couldn't hear ourselves think over the ice grinder, so asked to move to another table, they did move us but then we had to wait 15 mins to get 2 drinks, one of which was wrong, another 10 mins to order food, then about 45 mins before the food arrived. When it did, the medium to well done steak I ordered was bloody, and the prawns were tough and rubbery, but didnt want to send it back as we had already waited so long for it we were starving, not to mention they closed shortly, so we ate it, and it was average, but far to pricey for what we actually got! Despite all this, we realised that's they were busy so gave a second chance on the dessert, I wish I hadn't bothered! I ordered a strawberry eton mess, and what I got was vanilla ice cream with a squirt of strawberry sauce at the bottom and some whipped cream on top with a peice of meringue stuck on it, I was so shocked and appalled I left it and left the pub. The cocktails didnt taste of anything either, so really really disappointed to be honest. Over £90 for 2 meals, 2 drinks and 1 dessert. I wont be going back!

We enjoyed a very nice meal at the molesworth recently food was excellent and service from our initial waitress was very good and friendly. However her shift finished at 9pm and service after was poor. We are locals and eat on a regular basis at the pub and it’s upmarket boathouse. Menu in pub is more varied but boathouse is lovely.

Great service, lovely food

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.
