Most Disliked

While The Cornishman is highly rated, some guests mention that the popularity of the pub can lead to crowded spaces, particularly on Sundays. Booking a reservation is recommended to secure a table, especially during peak dining hours. A few diners have noted that certain dishes may have varying portion sizes, which can lead to mixed expectations. Though many enjoy the bustling atmosphere, some guests prefer a quieter dining experience and may want to visit during less busy times. Additionally, the absence of dessert options in some reviews indicates a potential area for improvement.

This place has a great selection of beers! We managed to book a table for Sunday lunch because the pub was packed with people. They had a wedding anniversary party and a rowing club event going on in the evening. I had the roast beef, and my wife had the veggie option. Both were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and a great atmosphere.

Exceptional Sunday roast, delicious tasty beef and lamb. Generous portions, superb roast potatoes. The best Sunday roast I have had in years. Attentive staff and dogs were very welcome. The photo doesn't show the additional cauliflower cheese which is part of the meal.

Had steak night. Food was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection. Good value for money. The wine offered with the deal wasn’t just a bottle of house wine. There was a choice of different reds and whites. Service was also good. Attentive and with a smile.

Another popular local pub, booking a reservation is advisable. The meals were generous portions. As a small adult, I love the freedom to chose a kid size Sunday roast. The staff remain calm and kind, even at busy times. The live music guarantees an upbeat atmosphere.

What a great pub. You wouldn't think it was a village pub or out of the way of Newquay. But it is a vibrant, busy pub. It has sport on the TV, a quiz sitting the week. The food on the menu is good. I was surprised from the moment I walked in, how good it was. It is a 5 minute walk downhill from the Park Dean Holiday Park. It really is worth a visit.

Steak night did not disappoint! Steaks cooked to perfection. The steak and ale pie was also a winner according to the other person in our group. Highly recommend a visit. Booking also advised.
