Our last night in Cornwall we wanted a take away. We called ahead to order, making sure to repeat the order & asked them to confirm. It was an 8 mile round trip to collect, no delivery, so we made sure to check. Upon returning to our hotel we discovered that my order contained meat, I don't eat meat! Very disappointing given we'd checked 3 times & what we got was terrible, oily & badly cooked. Don't go there.

We visited this restaurant for the "all you can eat buffet", which is only available on particular nights. It is a good deal but we found that the starters were much better quality than the main meals we selected. The staff were very good.

Absolutely shocking service! Ordered by telephone and they told me to come in 40 minutes. Drove there and took them 45 minutes from my arrival to get my food. No apology. DO NOT BOTHER!!!!!

Wow! Blown away by fabulous tasty food, perfectly prepared, hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and attentive. Very nice surroundings. Will definitely be going again. Only negative point would be that it's rather draughty when the door to the stairs down into the street is open. Also people were smoking outside and it was unpleasant that the smell was drifting up into the restaurant

Good food, friendly staff and the all you can eat is priced well - they give small portion’s so you can try more things and then order more if you like

Very small portions, food got cold Very quickly, no food warmer, Very run down, I ate my meal with a bag of rubbish on the chair behind me. Not good. Won't go back.

Decided to try this restaurant as our initial choice closed at 2100hrs. We were seated by the waitress who was lovely (forgotten both the girls names but they were charming!). The restaurant was very quiet given it was the 2nd week in August although the waitress remarked that the takeaway side of the business was very busy. We opted for the all you can eat buffet. All I will say is that it’s decent value if you have a healthy appetite. The portion sizes are small but as the name implies you can order as many as you want. The quality of the food wasn’t great, just average. You can’t go back to starters after you start mains which was a shame as I wanted one of the starter dishes to compliment a main dish that I ordered. The food was all cooked well and was served hot, it was all just a bit of the same. I’ve given it 3 stars but two of those are for the friendly staff. Wouldn’t return.

Called in here Bank Holiday Sunday, they were very busy but they managed to fit us in. The young male waiter was very friendly and explained to us how busy they were. We had the all you can eat buffet and he guided us through so we got all our dishes just at the right time. All the staff were friendly and all were working together extremely well. Food was tasty and yes some portions were small but this was explained by the young man and as I say he guided us through the menu and how much of each dish we should order. A very enjoyable meal and thank you to everyone for your great service.

Non locals not welcome. All you can eat is a waste of £23.90. Micro portions 4 ribs which looked like the size of toes. Salt n pepper prawns ...4 prawns on a dish. DRY FOOD THE DUCK LOOKED MUMMIFIED and the creepy male waiter told us we had to wait a hour for 2 extra dishes we ordered after ordering our main meal of coarse this was our fault. Poor all round and reading previous reviews the creepy male waiter is not a asset to this establishment. I review food this by far the worst 2 hours I've ever been unfortunate to spend in a restaurant I WAS PAYING FOR !

Went for a meal and had the all you can eat menu. Tried several dishes all were cooked to perfection. The staff were fantastic but the evening was made by Amy whose customer service, fun stories and ability to make us feel so welcome capped the evening for us. Back to the food. As mentioned above it was of the highest quality, every dish was packed with flavour, there was absolutely nothing that could be faulted. If you are in Wadebridge, make sure you visit you won’t be disappointed.
