Cornish Arms

"A mix of locals and tourists, drinkers and diners, makes for a great atmosphere at this traditional high street pub. The knowledgeable team are genuinely warm and welcoming, and the appealing dishes mix classic elements with some unusual modern twists. Boldly decorated bedrooms complete the picture." - Michelin Inspector

Nice venue, with comfortable atmosphere. We didn't book and were easily able to sit in the bar for dinner around 7:30 on a sunday evening. Really excellent vegan menu, the selection was great, with some very interesting options and delicious onion rings. The desserts were really special and we left absolutely stuffed and very happy.

The whole overnight stay with breakfast was fantastic. The bar was our first stop to whet our whistle, just the job with very friendly bar staff. The room was clean with a lovely en suite bathroom and shower. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Dinner was exceptional and at 65 years of age I had one of the best steaks that I have ever had, cooked to perfection it was delicious. Probably didn’t need the sticky toffee pudding but we are both so glad we did. Breakfast in the morning set us both up for the day ahead and was pretty much faultless. All in all I would recommend to any food lovers heading into the area and can’t wait for our next visit.

I've been here a couple of times now and both times were great experiences. The latest meal (for four of us) was excellent, all of us had different dishes and all were good. The service is attentive but sensible. The atmosphere is good, a gentle buzz with plenty of diners even though we sat down really early (6pm on a Wednesday out of season). Not cheap, but very good value still. We'd come back for sure.

It really was a stay of two tales. Firstly the hospitality was excellent, impeccable service and the food was sublime. Our dinner was delicious, generous portions and cooked to perfection. Breakfast was also amazing. The room was lovely and as others have commented everything had been thought about including little flapjacks, fresh milk, lovely toiletries and a very comfortable bed. However and it is a big one that they can do nothing about other than offer the earplugs that sadly didn't help.. the Saturday night street and neighbouring nightclub vibe didn't calm down till well gone 2.30 am. Due to the warm weather we had to have the window open and all in all a totally sleepless night.. such a shame as there isn't much they can do about the location as it really is a fabulous pub other wise!

Stayed overnight at the Cornish Arms have there own car park and rear of pub. Rooms are good size and well furnished, well equipped modern bathroom with walk in rainfall shower. Only downside is WiFi a little lacking keeps on dropping out. We ate in the restaurant and the food was really very good and the service was top notch. The included breakfast was not massive but very good quality and again service was excellent. So all in all a really great place would definitely stay there again.

Had a lovely vegan dinner here. It was great to have an entirely separate menu so we could easily see what we could eat. The options were interesting and absolutely delicious and included a sticky toffee pudding (!!!!!) It was a random and damp Thursday evening but the restaurant was busy, with a lovely atmosphere, music at the right level, good buzz but tables are far enough apart that you can hear each other. Fantastic service from everyone - professional and efficient but really friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Wow what great pub. Chose it for its food primarily and what a great choice. Definitely the best fish and chips I've ever had, and the beers were good too! Nice friendly staff and locals who made you feel welcome . Downside is parking, yes it's there if you're staying, but not too much bother to park in a public car park. I'd definitely return if in the area

We spent a lovely overnight stay here on our way down to Cornwall. Our room was beautifully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. Our dinner was great, food wonderful with great flavour combinations. |After a great nights sleep I had a wonderful breakfast, genuinely one of the best cooked English breakfasts I have ever had.

What a great find in Tavistock - Cornwall/Devon area of England. The 4 of us had an excellent meal and deserts! Bartender, Jordan, was very gracious. Check it out if you are in this area.

A wonderful place just outside Dartmoore. We were able to relax by a fire with decent local beer before having a lunch that felt very British and very Cornish. Salmon with cockles and seaweed bernaise, guinea fowl, deviled kidneys, crab risotto. Almost a Dickensian list but at the same time truly modern. This is British food at its best. Best of all though was the childrens menu. Our active little toddler was very happy with the ham hock pizza. We're used to toddler pizzas being thick with sweet tomato sauce and showered in plastic cheese. This was balanced and considered.

This gastropub was recommended by the proprietor of the Tavistock House Hotel. It was excellent - both food and service.

A very busy and bustling pub in the centre of Tavistock. At 38, you can sometimes feel like the oldest in there by several decades! Limited seating area - don't expect to be able to sit down without a wait. Large outside smoking area. Also houses Monterey Jacks, a restaurant that serves tex-mex-style food that has a loyal local following. Great decoration in the restaurant - US-style road signs etc. Good for a quick pint after work or perhaps a quick pint after a curry at the Ganges. However, not recommended for a romantic drink or a drink to linger over (unless you are under 20!).

Amazing gastro-pub in the heart of Tavistock. Offers a good selection of local real ales in a comfortable and charming setting. The menu is full of great english food elegantly presented and very fresh. The food is somewhat pricier so unfortunately I can't eat here all the time, but it is a nice treat when I do! If you're looking for a good meal in tavistock this is the place to go.
