We've been over the last 30 years and it has changed a number of times--I'd say at the moment it's a mid range pub--food ok if not brilliant and ok in appearance. At one stage it was a more high class food establishment but if...MoreHi, Thank you for your comments and giving us a 4/5 rating. We will see you again on you next visit. Kind regards, Jack Buckley

I came very close to giving this picturesque and cosy old Inn a couple of stars fewer but they redeemed themselves in the end and I strongly suspect that, on another day, our experience would have been better.
A horrible, rainy day in Tintagel and we all felt the lure of a hearty and warming Cornish Pasty. There are many cafes, pubs and tea shops to choose from in Tintagel and we chose this one on the basis that it looked inviting and, moreover, had a sign prominently displayed outside, extolling the virtues of the traditional pasty and suggesting we eat one on the premises.
We found the staff very friendly and welcoming but, when we asked for 5 pasties, they responded that there was only one left. This was not late in the day and, indeed, I heard two more parties of people come in and ask for pasties.
We were disappointed but, rather than return to the rainy high street, we decided to be philosophical and choose alternatives.
I chose the crab Sandwich from the specials board and, ten minutes later, was informed that there were no crab sandwiches left. I had now lost my sense of humour about this and decided to have a drink only, picking up a snack later on elsewhere. Meanwhile, my dad ate the solitary pasty which was so dried up that he had a really tough job cutting through the pastry. The filling was equally desiccated and we suspected it had been keep warm for a prolonged time.
What really irked me, though, was that they were advertising what they didn't actually have - after all, this is how people choose where to eat and we rejected other eateries on this basis. When we left, the pasty sign was still on the pavement outside and the crab had not been removed from the specials board.
However, the food that the rest of the party ate was good, the prices were fair and the service remained friendly and attentive. Moreover, when we went to pay and my dad mentioned the condition of his pasty, they unhesitatingly compensated us by removing that item plus all of the drinks from the bill. I thought this was a fair and proportional response, made gracefully and, for that reason, would give the place another chance.

We made a last-minute decision to stop for a cuppa on a rainy visit to Tintagel and were made to feel really welcome by the very friendly staff at Tintagel Kitchen. We enjoyed the tea, scones and teacakes, and some of us even gave into an ice-cream. Thanks for your patience with Mum & Mum-in-Law - they loved their visit!

Staff are always pleasant in this busy chippy.
