Lire plus ....better than all the rest. Nigel Tabb's restaurant is still the top fine dining experience to be had in West Cornwall. For those who know their wines, it has one of the best , well balanced and value for money wine lists around. Service is impeccable and supports the intimate atmosphere that has been created in this former pub just a relatively short walk from the centre of Truro. For a special celebration or one of Nigel’s occasional Sunday roasts (check the website) it is well worth seeking out. Booking is essential.

Lire plus Had a great dinner at this intimate restaurant food was excellent quality and we really wanted to give 5 stars, but our overall experience was a bit less than that purely because the front of house, though very efficient, was rather brusque! We weren’t asked to try our wine it was just sloshed into our glasses...... But our food was well worth a visit and we shall go back!

Lire plus Due to Covid 19 I booked this restaurant at least a month or so in advance of our trip to Cornwall.As usual I spent time looking for good places to eat while we were going to be away. I had booked a lovely cottage in Fowey, which meant that we really needed to travel for some good eats.Nigel chef/owner was very good at communicating, even sending a confirmation email Covid guidelines reminder on the day of reservation.The restaurant is set away from the hustle bustle of Truro city, on street parking was easy just a short walk away.Due to the new restrictions, the covers for the restaurant have obviously been reduced, this sadly means that there was little ambiance now, due to the seating was well spaced. This was done to provide staff and guests safe distancing, so to be expected.However we received a warm greeting on arrival, we were seated at our table and perused the menu wine list. The menu was reasonably extensive considering that Nigel cooks alone, and actually provides a great choice of tasty beautifully presented dishes for a one man team along with Debbie his wife, a very friendly, pleasant well informed lady front of house.We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the wine was great too, loved the extra little touches.Many thanks for a very enjoyable evening definitely worth the drive!
