"We first has Sunday lunch as a group of 15 in September then came back today as a group of 6. First class lunch. The beef is unreal. I love this pub is so quirky and the staff are so friendly. We love loads of vegetables and it was no problem when we ask for more. The vegetables were different on both occasions. My daughters a vegetarian and she wasn't keen on the veg choice so just had the dinner without meat and she loved it too. We rarely go out for Sunday lunch as I make a really good one but now our children are at University we will go more often"

Best Sunday lunch I’ve had in a while. The stuffing and parsnips where delicious and the meats were cooked perfectly. Completely stuffed with just one course. We took our dogs along and they were made to feel welcome with dog blankets, treats and water bowls available. Definitely going to return when we are back up visiting family.

Stayed at the nearby travel lodge at the weekend...no cooked breakfast available here or at the Mouse next door, so had breakfast here on a recommendation, only a few hundred yards up the road...could not fault it, the food was delicious, plentiful and the lady who served us was so friendly and helpful, good start to our day, highly recommend it ...

we went to lunch on Sunday, 12 May, there. I had called last weekend and was impressed by the menu. my wife had grilled laughs and I decided for the bubbly gay with skalopps. both were well presented and delicious. brought to us by very friendly staff. we didn't want to have pudding, but, oh, my wife was tried by the brombeer and apple crumbs. So I had to try the Scillian lemon cheesecake. both were very good. all in all a great experience. beautiful, not ordering food at the bar, which now seems the norm. well made the red lion. until soon.

"started really well and went to the counter and ordered a cream with bananas and nutella and especially gave no earthberries I also asked after a san pelegríno still water as this was on the menu. I was the first person to order and the last to eat at the end. I brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water I just had £2 for what I would like to have seen? we will, when asked for san pelligrino to say water that they do not in. Finally my crepe and I take a bite and understand that it is earthly on the whole species and wise by which I am allergic. one of my family members takes it back and says that I have asked for bananas, there is no earthly reason why I cannot eat it and did not want it on my crepe. then 5 minutes later another crêpe comes out, who was my bite crêpe, that someone had put the earthy and banan in the bananas. disgusting ... not sure whether this was a mistake or just stingy either as it did not. it is then returned because there is no way I eat, and it is explained again, there is a reason that I can not eat strawberries, to which then one of the owners passes to serve the right crepe and apology. I really hope that today a lection has been learned because cross-contamination is not a sweat. please be careful when they eat there. I didn't get any refunds offered, but then they were ready to serve me a bite crawl, so it didn't surprise me so much."
