The Cornish Arms

We have eaten at the Cornish Arms on a number of occasions and knew that the food was excellent. However, this was the first time that we have stayed there. It did not disappoint. The rooms are of a very high standard. Best of all is the exceptional service. The team are so friendly and helpful. Even sending on without charge the wallet that my son left behind. As you would expect, the food and service at breakfast was great. The only downside is the potential for noise from the street. However, that didn’t impact our stay. Highly recommended.

Our room ‘Toad’ was located at the back of the pub on the first floor. The room was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. It was very hot in the room though, so we opened the windows (the outlook wasn’t great) only to find a number of noisy kitchen extractor fans and the smell of cooking. On the (Sunday) morning we awoke to an overpowering smell of cooking (grill/fryer etc). It was stifling and felt like we were sleeping at the back of the kitchen! A great shame.

The pork chop I had was excellant but so it should have been at the price . This is the first pub meal too , and it is a very ordinary pub , where they serve the meal without vegetables, unless you pay extra, of course!. The drinks were naff but exorbitant and the bar staff looked like they were waiting to see the dentist. We didnt stay for desert. The whole thing , apart from the pork chop, was disapointing, depressing and very, very, ovepriced!

Ate here yesterday for lunch. The pros: Service was excellent and attentive. Cons: I ordered the lamb chop with fries, which cost £28. Since there were no vegetables or salad, I also ordered half a steamed courgette for £5. The chop was well cooked, but there was very little of it—minimally rendered fat and a large bone. The fries were fat oven chips. So, a tiny piece of pork, basic oven chips, and half a courgette for £33. I also ordered the souffle. It was approximately £12. It came a little undercooked and tasteless, with a tea plate accompaniment of a bit of clotted cream and ice cream served on some foul mango mix, likely scooped from a tin. My wife ordered the ox cheek. This was excellent, but again, tiny with no vegetables. Her pudding was a trifle served very oddly with a strawberry sorbet (why? Why no shortbread, etc.- odd choice). She had a glass of wine, and I had a diet Coke. All in, the bill was £103. We sat in the pub area. So, the meat was good, but the rest was not very good at all. I'd feel overcharged at £60, let alone over a hundred quid. I won't be going back.

Always feel special here, lovely professional staff, food is always so tasty and interesting, lovely inside and out! The steak is INCREDIBLE! Go for the full 3 courses you won't be disappointed! The drinks are fairly priced and it's all such lovely local produce.

So after going a week early to our booking we found a delightful atmosphere the chap forgive me I can’t remember his name kindly acted quickly and we was able to grab a table and eat The food was unbelievable such taste made me want more but the food tasted that good it filled my tummy up Would love to try this in the summer as the out side looked really inviting to just hang out Great Vaule for money with its Michelin award for gastro pub was cheaper then some Plymouth restaurants
