The Cornish Arms

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.

Outstanding place to stay. Food, staff, position in Tavistock, etc, all 5 out of 5. Free car park at back if you are staying overnight. We really enjoyed our stay. The choice of beer and wine matches the outstanding food and service. Great location with easy walk around the town.

My second stay and another beautifully decorated room with high quality linen, bed and towels. Great attention to detail and an amazing night sleep

Outstanding place to stay. Food, service, beer all very good. This is a gastro pub and i believe it came second in the country recently which speaks highly of the staff and place I was very impressed with the food.

From the outside the Cornish Arms looks just like a local pub, but step inside and you instantly know it is anything but. It is very stylish indeed. Our room which was their standard double room,was very chic and we loved all the furnishings and attention to detail.It had a king size bed with high quality linen and was so comfy. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and breakfast too.

I think I was expecting it to be more like a hotel than a pub with rooms but thats exactly what is so maybe my bad for not reading fully. The room was decorated beautifully and was very clean. Grear matress and pillows and the toiletries were super cute. My breakfast was amazing!!!

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
