The Cornwood Inn Cornwood, Ivybridge PL21 9PU

"Staff were friendly as was the dog . Coffee was good but awful cups to drink out of also went cold in these cups quickly as a very large surface area. Roast ….we’ll potato’s what there was ,tasted a bit funky can’t put my fingers on it , I thought when it was served I had got the child’s / OAP portion . But no. My partner had 3 mange tout and about a heaped tablespoon full of swede. 3 potatoes and a bit of cauliflower cheese one floret. All the roasts we swimming in gravy fine by me but my partner and her father not so impressed. Yorkshire pudding was under cooked as tasted like pancake mix. Dessert I had sticky toffee pudding and they we’re unsure if they had custard for it or not I said if not ice cream . My partner and her dad ordered crumble and ice cream . I thought the sticky toffee pudding was nice but then realised after I poured the custard over it that the hot sticky toffee pudding now had cold custard on it . Really cold custard on a hot dessert ? Then my partner and her father found that thee crumble hadn’t been cooked. It had just had crumble mix scattered over a filling .!After a chat with my partner they removed the dessert from the bill. To summarise Nice people but something was a bit off. Service was attentive but the staff seemed unsure of everything. Like they were all very new. Also on arrival they couldn’t find the booking which would have been an issue if they had been fully booked. I proceeded to go home for something to eat . Draw your own conclusions to this. In response to owner. If I had said everything that was wrong I would have made a very poor meal experience a traumatic meal for my other diners and your staff so therefore I felt not making a scene in establishment and pointing it out to you on Google which is a review site after all would give you reflection to improve not to berate your guests for not complaining enough trying to make it my failure not yours . Except the criticism and improve that is what the platform is for. I would have ordinarily paid the money and said nothing and written a review you are lucky my partner mentioned the dessert as I feel that if you tried to do something about it there and then it’s bribery. Own the criticism and improve your standards."

"So, after 12 months of hard work, we booked our annual Christmas lunch here for seven. The food was very disappointing, to say the least. Dry Turkey, Dry pork, even the fish was dry. No love or attention to the food at all. The warm sense of sitting near an open fire was only a dream, as it was chilly, to say the least. Once a year, we love to get together and spend time with each other over good food and a few drinks . Unfortunately, this was not the case ! I must say the young lady who served us was lovely though."

"A great place to visit for a lovely meal and a drink or two but no driving after! Lovely owners and friendly staff!"

"No Sunday roast at the moment, but with the hot weather it's understandable. Large portions and good price, friendly staff and lots of parking."
