A proper Cornish carvery is the draw here, and it's the kind of place where a small plate still comes loaded — beef, pork, turkey and gammon, two or three slices of each, with vegetables cooked properly rather than boiled into submission. It gets genuinely busy at weekends, so book ahead if you're arriving with hungry children. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, buggy access inside and tables outside for when the noise needs somewhere to go. Vegans are looked after too — the nut roast gets praise, and the team are happy to point out which sides to avoid. Beyond the roast, the salt and pepper squid, the specials board and the chocolate orange brownie come up again and again. Service is quick and friendly, and dogs are welcome, which helps on a coastal day out.
