The Cornish Arms

It is not often I'm impressed to this degree. This is a pub with rooms that is distinctly different. It oozes warmth and cosiness, with a vein of top quality service running right through it and the two are quite intoxicating! We booked late, having returned from Spain and requested a booking for dinner, a room and the ability to bring our small dog. This was seamless and was handled exactly as it should be. We were greeted by smiles and a genuine welcome, nothing fake, nothing too much trouble. Our table was reserved by the fire as requested and an offer of help with our bags. The bar was beautifully run, its tasteful country pub vibe draws you in. The room we stayed in was very well put together, quality bedding, furnishings and muted colours gave an instant relax, toiletries with real essential oils provided, these are locally made and a big difference from off the shelf products provided by even the very best of hotels! No dog bed, cheap dog treats of waste bags were left, which was just refreshing! Not only did this room deliver luxury wise, it was well thought out and 'worked' needless to say it was immaculately clean, The food.....well this was close to perfect, the steak one of the best I have had, cooked exactly right and the sauces were 'clever' rich but not too rich, just delightful! and the onion rings were the best I have tasted . The smoked haddock omelette championed the wonderful quality fish that was used and the vegetable tart was beautifully made with a salad that complimented it perfectly. Breakfast delivers on the same level, too which is rare!! Absolute class act of a gastro pub, thank you for the wonderful experience

Food is amazing. If you want a great meal, cooked by what are clearly an experienced team of chefs then this is the place to go. You absolutely get what you pay for. My late father was a chef. Army trained so I'm a self appointed critic. Yep. Hands down some of the best gastro grub around. Well done guys 👌🏼

We have eaten at the Cornish Arms on a number of occasions and knew that the food was excellent. However, this was the first time that we have stayed there. It did not disappoint. The rooms are of a very high standard. Best of all is the exceptional service. The team are so friendly and helpful. Even sending on without charge the wallet that my son left behind. ||As you would expect, the food and service at breakfast was great. ||The only downside is the potential for noise from the street. However, that didn’t impact our stay. ||Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning food, best roast we've ever had. Every detail of flavour carefully attended to and well balanced. Good wine list too. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Would go again in a heartbeat.

This is our second visit to this lovely pub. There is free parking behind the pub for residents. We were able to check in early, as our room was ready. All rooms are bespoke with large, comfortable beds, with good quality bedding and linens. The bathroom is well equipped with a good walk-in shower. The pub is a 'happy place' with good outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast was an absolute feast. Table service was friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely amazing and tasted delicious. The tea and coffee flowed freely. All fabulous. Well done to everyone, we loved our visit and will be back! 👌

Thoroughly enjoyable evening at the Cornish Arms. Service was attentive without being irritating, food was super tasty, the environment was relaxed and conversation at the table was not overshadowed by background noise. This was my first time at the Cornish Arms and I am sure that I will return. I had the vegan menu roast cauliflower which was delicious, following this with the vegan raspberry and granola desert. This was exceptional. A raspberry gel topped with toasted hazelnut granola sumptuous juicy raspberries and raspberry sorbet. Others on my table had starters of scotch egg or wings and mains of chicken curry, ox cheek or belly and loin of lamb. The sticky toffee pudding was the dessert choice of my companions. A lovely way to pass a Sunday evening.

On an incredibly rainy day we literally stumbled in here dripping wet. Bar staff attentive, host seated us promptly. The best Sunday lunch we have ever experienced. Simply delicious 😋 I had the beef, my husband had the pork. The best produce showed. An absolute treat. Thank you to the super team.

We had a delicious meal here on Christmas eve. Service was excellent and friendly staff. All had different meals and all delicious. Really nice cosy place. Perfect

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.
