Not bad food, but by the same token not exactly overwhelming. Cider was unimpressive, surely pubs these days can offer something other than the over-commercialised stuff that you can buy in any supermarket?? Service friendly enough very attentive.

Not a bad pint of Bombardier served by a misery-bottom of a Landlady. Looks grubby compared to what I remember it being like 20 years or so ago and could do with a bit of a tidy up, especially outside.

Simply sublime. Great drink and excellent, reasonably-priced food. When I die please scatter my ashes in its fireplace.
My favourite place to eat in Cornwall.

Tries too hard. Nice enough food, but you don't have to offer foie gras with virtually everything on the menu. Maybe you do to justify the prices, who knows. Not bad all in all, but not as fancy as it would like to be, nor as homely as it's setting suggests. I'd drive right past and continue to the Gurnard's Head every time...

Went back again on Monday whilst visiting my parents and if anything the Church Inn has got better. Fantastic food and drink. Landlord can't do enough for you. Can't wait to return.

Indeed it does gouldeneye and this continues inside. Alas, the food is not very good at all and the service wasn't up to much either. Makes us realise how lucky we are down here in Cornwall. Bears Head scores 2/10 - Must try harder.

Really friendly, good service. Beers good, if a little pricey. Nice place to stay with really good food.

Dreadful service and ordinary, over-priced food. Very isappointed after many recommendations from friends.

Had a very enjoyable meal in here today, with great service to boot. Will definately return.

Fantastic setting. Food average at best - not bad but doesn't command the prices they charge for it. One barman was friendly, the other downright obtuse. Drinks were fine, not a great deal of choice mind.

Another great place where locals and outsiders get on just fine. Good atmosphere and decent enough drink.

Really liked this place, but not sure why. Friendly locals!

Nice building but terrible service from what I remember. Ordered some food which didn't turn up for over an hour. Went and questioned this with the manager and he simply plonked my money back in my hand without word of an apology. Not one of JD's best...

Bad food, though the drink was ok. Not much different to a Weatherspoons pub to be honest. No character or atmosphere at all.

Good food and friendly staff. Enjoyed my visit here. Will return.

The Drunken Duck Inn, Barngates
Lovely food. Full of complete prats when we went in though.

Food was expensive when we went, but very, very good. Service was spot on as well Can't wait to go back.

The Saracens Head Inn, Symonds Yat East
Lovely place. Food is fantastic and the setting truly amazing. Gets busy, especially in the summer but well worth the visit.

Yikes, went back in view of it being awarded "Cornwall Dining Pub of the Year". Wish I hadn't, the food was dreadful this time round - cold veg with the main and cold bread and butter pudding for afters!!! Revolting!

Great pub. Food is very good, if a little expensive. Beer is excellent, though a few more choices would be better. Setting and views are spot on - a pub with loads of character.

Golden Lion Inn, Stithians Lake
Have been a couple of times. Despite being old, the pub has very little character at all. Food is probably the worst I've eaten in a Cornish pub.

Thought the food was average and quite expensive, good drinks though. Concur with stelladrinker's comments about the service. They had a nice log fire on the go when I was there in January mind!

Church Inn, Chelmorton
Another fantastic meal last weekend, food and drinks excellent. Service brilliant - nothing is too much trouble. Very nice setting too. Look forward to returning soon!
