Reviews in Cornwall

Terrific bar, lovely atmosphere in a beautiful old building. The staff are lovely, even the security men on Friday night were so pleasant and friendly that we forgot that they were security guards.

I have eaten at Peppers on about 5 occasions now and have always had a fantastic meal. The menu is varied with many pasta and pizza dishes and lots of specials. The service is always excellent, with friendly staff and there is always a nice relaxed atmosphere. It is refreshing to have great food in a nice restaurant that isn? pretentious!

The prices were a bit high but the food was brilliant and up to the standard i expected. The waitresses made me feel welcomed and the quality of wine and food was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone who is staying around this area.

Fantastic place open less than a year, best view of Fistral, and a superb place for a glass of wine to watch the sunset which happens right in front of you! Went there on Friday evening, when the tide was right in, underneath the balcony crashing against the steps to the beach below us; absolutely spectacular! The staff treated us like human beings and their menu looks delicious. We will return!

I've been taken here a couple of times since the new chef (Brett) took over and it's been really good each time. I love the whole thing but my favourites are the puddings - particularly the cappuccino creme brulee! I'll be back!

Best bar in Cornwall and I'm not too surprised really. Brilliant place for a night out, loved everything the Cat had to offer

Such excellent quality food and service for a sensible price. Did the developers at Carlyon Bay know Brett was coming, or were they just lucky that they are close to this restaurant? I look forward to many more visits, and not just on those special occasions.

i dined at Cribbs on Saturday 12th and was very impressed. The food was superb and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. I had the Hor d'oeuvres to start with and then had the monkfish dish, which looked amazing, which matched the taste, i would strongly recommend if in Falmouth that you check this place out. For a new up and coming restaurant there doing a bleeding good job. Tracey and David Griffiths

We had our wedding reception at the edge in May 2007. Everyone will say that there wedding was perfect but ours really was! That is very much thanks to Penny (the manager) Ben (the Chef) and the rest of the team. We booked the restaurant on the basis of the reviews we had seen on the internet. We are not locals and so it was very much hit and miss how it would go. 23 very happy and contented wedding guests left the edge after our reception. There wasn't a mumble or grumble to be heard. the food and service were excellent. If the staff know that you are celebrating they will really pull out the stops. A special place for our special day - we will certainly be back

My wife and I were recommended to Austells restaurant by friends who had recently been there. We were overwhelmed by the experience. Everything was perfect. The service you could not falter. The food was the best we had ever eaten and we have eaten in some fantastic restaurants around the world. I really like the choice of wines. Everybody has their likes and dislikes concerning wines. If everybody liked the same, we would not want a choice. Their wine list suited us, and in my opinion was not expensive. We felt it was worth the 32 mile round trip to go there and will certainly be going back.

my husband and I went to Austells last week, the food was to die for, everything very fresh and home made, the staff were very polite and friendly and made us feel very special. we will certainly be going again and telling all our friends

I only have praise for this restaurant. The food, service and surroundings all of the highest quality. Brett (the chef) has created a really high class and varied menu. If you are in the vicinity you must book a table, you will not be disappointed.

Went here for my anniversary and was blown away! You really taste the flavours, so fresh and all locally supplied. The wines were great value, and went so well with the food - thanks Jamie for recommending so well! We all liked the way the chef, Brett, came out to ask how we enjoyed it and chatted about his plans. Best in Cornwall!

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Truro. Been waiting for something like this for ages. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it for the quality. Always very clean and staff so friendly. We like the way you see them cooking in front of you- great place highly recommend trying!

I first ate here in April. I will eat here again and again and again. I live in Plymouth and consider the journey well worth the undertaking, spending the time anticipating the gastro-delights that are on offer. Perhaps other restaurateurs should pay a visit and learn.

Very good food, plenty of choice and selection always a lengthy process as everything sounds so wonderful. This is a Pub though and it's prices are rather high so it's a treat rather than your usual Pub meal out.

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food and great service by friendly staff who were attentive but not pushy. Thoroughly recommended

We have eaten at the Xen bar numerous times and have always found the service, quality of food and the overall experience very very good. We will always recommend the Xen bar for a perfect oriental meal at a very fair price. But do not take our word for it, go and try it for yourself but pre booking is always a good idea. Enjoy your meal.
