The only thing she could eat here was chips. I had the mixed fish linguini, my partner had some chips and my daughter had the children's tomato linguini.

The chips were amazing which was brilliant for my partner as all holiday she has seen everyone around her eat lovely food while all she could eat was the most basic things.

The food came hot and fast. I got the chicken in the rough with salad and fries. The "salad" was cabbage. Yuck. The rest of it was really good. The mead is also on point, but VERY sweet. Everyone at the table got a different type, so I was able to sample a lot. We arrived right as they opened. It was packed right from the start, so make reservations. Our server appeared to be run off her feet because we rarely saw her. She wrote on the check "service fee is not included." I've never seen that in England before. I am not sure if they were expecting a tip because we're American or what.

This is a lovely meadery down on the waterside in Penzance…read more It is themed in a medieval style with wooden tables and benches, candles on the tables and low lighting. There is often pipe music or something similar playing quietly in the background, which is also nice for setting the mood. The food is served on wooden plates and bowls, and no cutlery is given unless your meal type requires it or you actually request it. The waitresses are dressed as serving wenches and you wash your hands between courses using little wooden bowls of water with a piece of lemon floating in them! The signature dish is called chicken in the rough, which is half a chicken cooked in a special oven with gorgeous crispy skin. It is served with chips although you can pick salad or half and half if you want as well. There is a great choice on the menu of starters, mains and desserts and the food is lovely. Although this is 30 mins or so drive from us my dad still prefers to go there than any of the closer ones!

It is certainly not the place to go for quick, cheap nosh-up. This is the other end of the scale, with all dishes being painstakingly put together and presented. The serving staff have expert knowledge of all things being served, showing chef-like passion themselves for the dishes and food on offer. You do get the fancy, rather large plates with what appears to be a small portion of the food delicately arranged in the middle, with dribs and drabs of the relevant sauces around the outside. However, the quality is superb, and the portions are actually rather good. This is certainly not to everyone's taste, but if you are looking for fine dining with excellent quality food (and you have a lot of money) this is the place to go without doubt.

This is a proper takeaway meaning that there are no plates or cutlery, but the lovely staff will point you in the direction of a couple of tables and you can dig into your grub as nature intended (using your fingers and straight out of the wrappers)! What really makes the place though is the staff, when having to abandon our evening plans of eating our fish supper, watching the sun set over nearby Land's End whilst knocking back a few cheeky beers due to one of Cornwall's not infrequent sudden gale force storms the lady suggested that we eat in the shop and had no problem with us drinking our shop bought beers inside; even when we'd finished our food and noticed the time had crept on to 10.30 (half an hour after the place was meant to shut)! The portions are pretty large, so if your not that hungry I'd suggest a child's portion.

The tasting menu was five courses for £25 (£45 with wine pairings). The other half was a bit dubious about the prices, and thought it just couldn't be good given the prices on the menu. Well, we get in and decide to start with a Bellini (which turned out to be strawberry and VERY tasty). We got the tasting menu with wine pairings. The first course was sweet and sour pig cheeks with udon noodles. It was absolutely brilliant. Everything was tasty, and we were pleasantly surprised. The next course was a mackerel fillet with a smoked mackerel potato cake. The third course was a hake fillet with crab bisque and a crab and ginger wonton. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. The fish was cooked well, the bisque was rich and creamy, and the wonton was crispy and delicious. The fourth course was chicken wrapped in spinach and parma ham with sweet potato tagliatelle and chorizo. I expected this course to be dry and overcooked (because it's so easy to do that with chicken), but instead it was perfectly cooked and everything was magnificent. One of the better chicken dishes I've had in awhile. Finally we had a deconstructed cheesecake with strawberries and strawberry sorbet. Very good! The wine was also good, but the pairings didn't necessarily make sense (but for £45 for the tasting and wine pairings, I'm not really complaining that much). We decided to end the evening by ordering cheese and port. The cheeses were great. We were honestly shocked and surprised at how amazing the meal turned out. The other half even commented to the waitress that the food was great, and that he was surprised that the tasting menu wasn't more expensive. When we're back in the area, I'm sure we'll go back in. There were things on the menu that looked amazing that we didn't get to try because they weren't on the tasting menu. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in Falmouth, you should definitely go here.

It want bad, but too pricy thus only three stars.
