Have been coming here since it opened. The food is still of an excellent standard but if Iâm honest, the menu hasnât really changed in all the years weâve been coming here. Fish and chips, mussels, beetroot salad, steak and chips, a fish dish etc - theyâve been on the menu all this time. Itâs all cooked to an excellent standard but the owner is playing it safe and this time around, there was only really one main course that we fancied. In the past, itâs been difficult to choose between 2 or 3. Prices have inevitably risen as before the value was almost too good to be true. Wine is of an average standard and no longer offers value. Thereâs a couple of the ownerâs Bordeaux reds on the menu at £38 which are way overpriced for what they are IMO. Thereâs a Douro red at £31 that knocks the spots off the Bordeaux. Coppa, pakora, fillet steak and deserts were all excellent and couldnât be faulted. Service this time wasnât as good as weâve had in the past. The waitress insisted on describing each dish in full while we were drinking our aperitif, despite us being fully aware of what the dishes were. There were a couple of gents serving that evening who were much more in keeping with the service I would expect. Sounds like an odd review from me as I canât fault the food which is executed to perfection so maybe I should should happier? But I guess Iâm beginning to feel the other touches like consistent service, general friendliness, (the owner is regularly onsite but rarely engages with her customers - in contrast to her social media persona), price vs quality of wine, and a more varied menu are missing, and donât match up the food quality. Dear Goatmasterfunk,Thank you for taking the time to leave your valued, however as you stated somewhat odd feedback. First I'm glad you appreciate the quality of our food, but I must disagree with your statement of 'the menu never changes' we change the menu on a daily and seasonal basis, since the start of summer we've had a complete change of chefs in the kitchen who along with Emily have brought their own dishes onto our menu which have never featured before. Yes, there may be dishes featuring similar ingredients that re-appear but that is due to us using ingredients that we love.The fact that you believe our wine list to be of an average standard shows you are lacking in some wine knowledge, we have put together an extremely well thought out list that features something for everyone, I myself am a huge wine lover and have worked within the wine industry, we also work with Liberty Wines to put our menu together, and they are one of the most renowned fine wine suppliers in the country.The team here never insist on talking through our menu, it's something we love to do to give customers our experience as well as explaining to guests where produce comes from and how it's prepared. We were unaware that you knew our entire menu and new dishes inside and out. The owner Emily is in the kitchen full time cooking as well as running the business, so I'm sure you can understand that after a long busy day she may want to take some time to herself to unwind, she always says hello to guests but is not someone to wander around the restaurant showboating whilst guests are enjoying themselves.To finish I find your review rather hurtful, personally upsetting and quite unnecessary. If you would like to discuss anything further with me please feel free to call.Regards,LiamRestaurant Manager

We stayed nearby for 9 days so visited several times. The service is impeccable from all staff. Special thanks to Dennis. Food is of very high quality including the Sunday Lunch. Fish and chips is amazing. My only criticism would be the menu is somewhat limited but that is often, as here, a sign of high quality.

The menu looks amazing online and wonât disappoint. We visited for dinner and had a real selection - from the curry, to lasagne, to chicken burger, to beef Wellington. Every dish was excellent, and the starters and puddings too. Felt like they really aim for top quality food and ingredients, and definitely hit the mark. Highly recommended if youâre looking for top quality food in the area.

Called in for a snack at lunchtime and was very impressed. Lovely sandwiches made with huge doorsteps of the lovely thick bread. Mum couldnât eat both halves and the barmaid took the uneaten half and had it wrapped by the kitchen. Would definitely eat here again.

Came for a meal for a special birthday. Didn't know what to expect really but it is top heavy with fish. As one of us is not a fish lover, the menu was somewhat limited. What was left was just one meat dish and a vegetarian option. The weather was horrendous so what would have been nice would be something wholesome - maybe bangers and mash or a pie but neither were available. We padded it out with a starter and dessert but sadly at extra cost. Given we had to drive were unable to drink but given the price of a pint I was glad I didn't.Overall, I am not complaining what I had however instead of making it look pretty, put it on a plate, with a ladder up the side and then we eat it. Basically good wholesome food instead of lardy da pretty stuff.Will try again - maybe for Sunday lunch in the hope there is more than a roast on the menu when we go next time.

Out of 7 places to eat in Port Isaac we chose to eat in the pub, mainly due to watching Doc Martin so had to go inside. Its dog friendly downstairs and it has an upstairs with a view of port. Had to eat with our coats on as it was very cold in the pub. The food is good pub grub. Disagree with a previous review about it being a small pub as its a traditional fishing village with lots of old quaint buildings, no way to add an extension or you'd be in the sea!I do agree about it being abit wiffy of toilet smell. It smelt of cleaning products. Shame the windows couldnt have been cleaned though.Staff very friendly. Good cornish larger.
