Set in a small Cornish village this is everything you would expect from a village pub. I was part…read moreof 50 man strong stag party that descended on this small pub on a Saturday night and so I feel that they deserve a good review for how well they handled it! The inside is small and comfortable, with a low ceiling and varied seating. There's one widescreen TV for the football and a large projector that can descend for a big occasion like an England World Cup game - as was the case when we were there. The food is excellent - proper Cornish pasties were provided for our large group - and there is a good selection of local ales and ciders. There's also a really great outside area which leads directly to a massive field. It was a really great place to sit as the sun was setting. If I have one complaint it's the prices. This is a small village in Cornwalll, not Central London, yet a round of drinks for four people will set you back a rather astonishing £15. And that's just beer and cider.

My husband and I saw the sign on our walk back to…read morethe pub we were staying in...none of our group had ever been to a Meadery before...so we figured it was worth a try. It is basically set up like an old tavern, complete with candles and medieval(ish) decorations. It is a pretty fun place to visit, especially once they start bringing our different flavours of mead! - Don't expect fine dining! But the portions are huge and lots of the options are child friendly - The desert menu seemed bigger than the savoury options!! - Most of my friends tried the 'chicken in the rough' and seemed happy. - I loved each and every mead that I tried! Less good: - The food was not very good BUT it wasn't terrible. My main was smoked mackerel...which was just cold smoked mackerel (straight out the packet) with a salad drenched in uninspiring coleslaw. Meh. - Who steals the cups?! There was a sign saying please don't steal the mead glasses as they don't make them any more. Don't be a dodgy cup-thief!!

I used to enjoy and love this place…read more Being in Cornwall again last week a friend asked me if I wanted to go for a meal and we decided to try Gurnard Head again. We drove up on Monday afternoon 25th Oct to book a table, for Tuesday night. The front window is FULL of Michelin, recommended stickers, and every other possible award or recommendation possible, in fact so many it looks a mess. Is it me? Have I got two heads? No, but they are so rude, unhelpful and would go as far as to say they look at you as if you are so beneath them they do not even want to speak to you. My friend (who is an actor and the friendliest person you could meet) spoke to the bar staff, asking if it was possible to book a table, (so it is not just me) the end result was he said did not want to book after how we were spoken to by the staff. We were told we could ONLY book for 8.30, not, we are sorry that is the only space we have etc as most restaurants would do, we asked to see a menu, and were told no, as it changes every day!! They just seem so unwilling to treat you as a customer more as an inconvenience to them. We asked about eating in the bar, and they said at the bar we said no at a table in the bar, and the barman snapped in the bar at a table same thing, well unless you check it you may end up eating at the bar, there is no need to be so snappy and rude. It is too late to arrive to find you are having a meal actually sitting at the bar What a way to run a business, do the owners know? I wanted to eat and spend money with them, but was driven away by attitude. Why would you spend money in a place that treats you like that? The young blond tall barman we dealt with made us feel we were not welcome, and spoke to us like dirt, we had a coffee and left, have they no idea how to serve customers, do they care? I think not, they seem to have so many reviews that they do not care, I wish I could witness the Michelin reviewers visits, as they must know who they are, as no way on earth is this a friendly place. The bar looked very tatty, I would hope it is called shabby chic, but think it is more just tatty, worn and shabby. On a positive note a young chef came to the bar to check the evenings bookings and he smiled over at us, and a customer passing through asked him if he was the chef and complemented him on the fabulous meal they had just had. My question to the owners is, are you aware how many customers are being driven away by your rude staff, or are the rude staff the owners? We went away and went to a different restaurant, and had a great meal and friendly service. Best to stay away from Gurnard Head, far better and friendlier places to eat in Cornwall.

This is a friendly pub that is run by a welsh couple who know how to cater for the holidaymakers…read moreand the locals that mix to make up the clientele. The beers include Doombar and a guest ale for the discerning real ale drinker. The food is standard pub fayre such as steak, lasagne, ham egg chips, curry, scampi etc, but it is done really well. For example, the sirloin that was ordered rare, really was, not medium rare as you usually get. The onion rings were the usual frozen kind though and the lasagne was tasty if lacking the expected White sauce layer. The steak is £13.95 and so at the top end of pub prices but good value all the same. All the meals are available in kids portions (rather than a separate kids menu), the children were welcome in the bar and allowed to play on the pool table too. All in all a family friendly place to finish a long day on the nearby Praa Sands beach.

Salad was higher quality than I had expected in a pub. Service was friendly. My husband had a good lamb shank with mint sauce. Nothing extraordinary, fairly simple, but it worked for us.

This would be the better place with children, or to play a game of pool after dinner.
