Stopped here for coffee over the new Year weekend, and even though it was exceptionally busy the staff were great and the service was speedy!
We had to sit outside as there were no tables inside and it was freezing - so my only advice would be to invest in some heaters for people outside in the winter months but I haven't marked down because of this!
Great little place and I can imagine it even better in the summer months

We were staying locally over the New Year. Fancied eating out and so stopped here. The bar area was very busy with locals and lovely open fires but as there were no table left was found a table in the conservatory. In here felt very separate from rest of pub and it was damp and not very warm. Appreciated this was only room left but itcould be made to feel more welcoming in here .Food was plentiful and good but didn't stay around left after we had eaten.

5. The Terrace Bar & Restaurant
Overall Ratings

The Terrace Bar & Restaurant is open to everyone, every day from morning until late for everything from coffee to lunches, afternoon tea, drinks and dinner with a side of sea views. With al fresco decking and a conservatory with a retractable roof for sun drenched days and balmy nights, it’s the perfect relaxed space for romantic dinners, family Sunday lunch or planning the next days’ fun over cocktails. Our chefs are passionate about using as much of the finest locally sourced produce as they can in their dishes, from milk and vegetables to fish and meat. Little diners have their own menu and we make sure there are plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes available. We also offer takeaway for both guests and locals.

Having booked a table, we were eventually shown the menus after about 20 minutes having been shown to a table in the conservatory. To say that it was cold in the conservatory would be an understatement - other diners were actually eating wearing coats, or with their coats wrapped around themselves. The whole experience and ambiance was therefore very poor. However, the only saving grace was the quality of the meal - compliments are due therefore to the chef and his team. But overall, our experience of dining at this establishment was very disappointing. In addition, we ordered a second drink each from the waitress - these extra drinks did not materialise - imagine our surprie to find that they had been added on our bill ! When this was pointed out, there was not even a hint of an apology. We will not be returning and will be recommending that our friends and family do likewise.

7. Treleigh Arms

Reviewed By Caz'n'kel - Potters Bar, United Kingdom
We went for a meal at the Treleigh arms last night. It was very quiet only a few diners and very disappointing. Since the chef left the quality of food has sadly exited the building too.
We were eating our main course when we noticed that sitting beside a woman and young child there was a small white Scotty dog sitting on the bar counter!! We discussed the hygiene issues amongst our group as we continued to eat and asked the waitress when she passed by why she was allowing that woman to keep her dog sat on the public bar counter. She said she would find out and left. A few minutes later the woman carrying said dog appeared at our table wanting to know why we found this a problem (one issue I immediately thought was that we were still eating and she was interrupting us with her dog hovering over us!) But more concerning was she said it was always doing that and that it wanders through their kitchen too!!!!
Hopefully for her the local authority environmental health department will agree with her if they ever do an impromptu check on these premises !!!
This lady was the owner I believe she didn't introduce herself or apologise and was quite cross we had complained and made it clear nothing would change on the dog front.
Needless to say we didn't want dessert god knows what the kitchen is like if this dog behaviour is allowed on the bar what happens behind the scenes :-(
We would not recommend this establishment because the food was nothing special, it lacked ambience and we do not feel any animal should be allowed to sit on top of Bar counters.

The Waterfront Inn sits on a secret beach in Portreath, Traditional English pub and restaurant specialising in local fresh fish.
Reviewed By Judy R - Liskeard, United Kingdom
Went here while visiting Portreath and the friendliness and service from the barman was excellent. But then came the 2 x crab salads, oh dear, needed a microscope to see the food. At £14 each it was such a disappointment. Hardly any salad, shredded crab and baguettes with butter. We didn't complain as it was getting busy and we were talking to others. Will not hurry back unless the salads are greatly improved.
9. Tricky's Restaurant

Just had a Sunday Lunch here. It was awful. The only redeeming feature was that the Turkey wasn't that bad. However, the rest of it was dreadful. I know some people like their vegetables slightly crisp but surely not undercooked. A hammer and chisel along with the knife and fork may have helped.
The plate presentation left a lot to be desired. The plates were far too small for the amount they were meant to carry. Roast potatoes were scattered intermittently around the plate. Basically anywhere where they would fit. This was finally topped off with a crumpled up Yorkshire pudding which had definitely spent most of its life in a microwave. I think mine was caught just before it was due to explode.
And now, what about the purple cabbage and what looked like some form of Leek and Onion puree. I know many colleagues of mine don't like purple cabbage or leeks but we were never given the choice. Again it was splattered onto the plate where there was a couple of spaces.
Finally I think they must have run out of gravy because it was certainly missing from my wife's plate, although I did have a little of what could be classed as gravy but I never expected it to be served as a solid lump.
Just to round things off I was very disappointed that the waiter never asked if everything was ok with the meal. That was such a shame for me. He was also born with the personality and charisma of a table leg, so in a way I'm glad he never asked.
My wife and I frequently visit local restaurants for Sunday Lunch so we have a 'rough' idea how they should look and taste along with how the staff looks after the customer. Unfortunately this did not materialise today.
Sorry Trickys we wont be visiting you some time again soon.
10. Carn Brea Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 264 reviews
Reviewed By jackJ5538PA - Loughborough, United Kingdom
Service was terrible and the food wasn't that great either. We rented out the entire castle for a birthday party, however despite this there were other bookings in the restaurant which resulted in our party of around 25 people being squashed up in Seating that would probably fit in half that amount.
Prices of the drinks there were very expensive, with a large glass of coke being around £4.
Food came out in small amounts and was nowhere near enough for the amount of people there.
Service was the worst part of our time there with one server especially being rude the entire time, however the tipping point was when my grandmother got a gift of champagne and was asked by the server to pay £10 for having alcohol not sold by the establishment in the restaurant. This on top of all the other grievances caused the entire party to leave shortly after.
All in all this cost us upwards of £750 with many of the guests not eating much at all, terrible service and ruined my grandmothers 70th birthday.
Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.
