"The positive is that the food is good. But the negative is the service time and the attitude of the staff. We were seated and had our order taken after 20 minutes. A little slow but it was a busy Saturday evening so understandable. Starters came promptly and were eaten. We then got ignored by every passing member of staff for at least 50 minutes. Quite the skill! Once there was a break in our conversation and I realised how long it had been, I stood up to intercept a waitress and asked “are our mains on the way, please?” Our ticket was checked by her at the kitchen hatch and we were told “yes”. At this point our starter plates were cleared after they had sat on the table for at least 35 minutes. Our mains then took another 25 minutes to get to us, so I suspect that being told they were on their way was a lie. To be clear: we were given our mains 1hr 20 mins after placing our order. I complained to a waitress who sent over a manager. The manager asked if we’d had starters (yes, we had) and said that it was our fault our main was so late as we’d had a first course. How insulting!!! Blaming the customer for their bad service. Disgusting. When I said it was still far too long to wait between courses she then changed tack and said the kitchen was “really really busy” well, they weren’t busy cooking our food now were they?! And despite the place being full when we arrived, by this point of the night over half the tables were empty. There were 3 tickets on the pass along with ours and tables were 2 4 people (no large groups) so I feel that was also another lie to get out of it. What a shocking way to treat customers! My advice to you is: if you want your food served in a timely manner, either take the advice of the manager and don’t order a starter, or, be sure to communicate with waitstaff once your first course is finished and ask for your main to be cooked and served promptly. (Note: food also sat under the heat lamps for long lengths of time as staff stood socialising with one another behind the bar rather than serve customers) I hope this advice is of use as I would have appreciated it ahead of my visit! Good luck. [Reading other reviews, ours is not the only experience of slow service and seeing staff chat to one another rather than deal with the customers paying their wages. Would be interested to receive a reply to this review]"

We loved this place. Quite rustic and definitely not pretentious. The gentleman that was front of house was great. He was knowledgeable and personable. The food was excellent with perfect portion size. I couldn't fault it.

Great food, really good selection and high quality. Staff are very professional, friendly and accommodating. We had pizza and sides. Prices are very reasonable considering the standard. Would recommend booking as it gets busy.

A bit disappointed this evening Pizza was dry and flavourless almost like it was a bought in base. Not enough tomato sauce and really bland, had to add chilli oil to give it a bit of something! We live locally and usually love Rumour but we won't be rushing back unfortunately

We ate here a couple of nights during our stay and we loved the ambience and the food. The menu is varied and the wine list is great. The service was exceptional Sebastian does a great job as front of house he doesn’t miss a thing! And we also had great table service from Daisy Isla. Best recommendation: the Fowey mussels.

Very poor value, I had vegan burger and chips; a small lonely burger in a bun with a handful of skinny fries and what constituted a salad was a small pile of rocket with a lazy squirt of balsamic glaze- chef, this does NOT constitute a dressing!! At £17.50 this was very disappointing, complaisant food, I wish I had gone down the chippy..

This place used to be great for pizza now at £12 a pop for a basic cheese and tomato margarita there is the minutes amount of topping on there and the coffee is awful not creamy or frothy just basic coffee with a bit of milk on top. They seem to have a problem as they. are looking for a new chef etc. even so why as the public do we have to suffer.

WHY WHY DO THEY DO IT! wont be back.... View menu

Awful service. Must have said we wanted two pizzas to the waiter about three times but only one arrived. The service was really slow and the average age of the staff was about 17. They clearly didn’t want to be there and couldn’t have cared less. Really sad because it used to be great and welcoming. Food was ok but nothing to write home about. And horribly expensive for the quality. Won’t be going back. Style over substance.

Visited on a Saturday evening having booked in advance and when we arrived it looked like a full house. The table was all ready when we arrived and our drinks order taken. We were given just the right time to order our food. We ordered to sharing plates to start with which arrived apart and we had to chase the second dish. Over an hour after ordering, our main course arrived after we asked where it was. We all agreed the food was delicious. The meal including drinks worked out to be £40 a head (we didn’t have a deserts which included two bottles of wine (one was reduced as they had run out of the least expensive Rose . So in summary great food but service was slow. I don’t think this was the...
