    Eat here quite a bit, had the carvery today and it was fantastic, they don't skimp on the meat either, nice thick turkey slices, lovely veggies too. Lovely calm ambience feel, staff are all brilliant too, helpful and friendly. Good prices for cornwall too, definitely not overpriced. Never have a bad word to say, always good.
