We've been here many times. Ray and his wife are the perfect hosts. The food and atmosphere is always lovely. Not sure how they do such a lovely 3 course meal for such a ridiculously low price. Not sure if you get such an amazing meal anywhere else for under £30.

An excellent meal with very friendly service in a hard to find pub, but well worth hunting it out. Our party had the set lunch which was very good. A little slow, but this reflected the fact that everything was being freshly made. Highly recommended.

Very nice experience. The pub was crowded when we entered but we had reserved a table and were seated immediately. Good service throughout a 3 hour long Christmas dinner which left us well satisfied.

Spectacular food, possibly the best duck dish I have ever had. Great host and will definitely return when in the area and recommend to others. Impressed both me and my partner and we’ve eaten in some of the fanciest restaurants in the country and your food was arguably as good as some top london restaurants we’ve been to. Congratulate your chef as they produce incredible food.

Lovely ambiance to the pub. The meal was delicious. There were a lot of seasonal events around Christmas and the New Year, which were tempting us to return.

I love this place. Fantastic food at a really competitive price. We have been a few times and have never been disappointed. Great choice of drinks at the bar and always friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in the Launceston area, try the Racehorse inn.

Excellent food in both quantity and especially quality. Fresh ingredients, cooked for each order. Good selection of wines. Service OK, friendly and smilling, but just not quite there. EG, no coffee offered, not asked re a repeat of drinks order.

We had four glasses of large wine that were short measures. The crab starter was very tasty, a £2 supplement for this particular starter with hardly any crab inside, approximately a desert spoonful. The roast dinners were very tasty, but the cappuccino was not made correctly, it came in a small coffee cup and was like a flat white coffee. A very friendly landlord !

The landlord was an excellent host. Unfortunately there was a mix up in our food order and our vegetarian in the party was left with no main course until it was chased by my son. Sadly the tagliatelle was not worth the wait. The wine was excellent and atmosphere very nice. Both my son and I had the 10oz steak that was cooked well but cut into strips- we prefer our steak whole with the fat rendered beyond chewy. The Cornish blue on the cheeseboard was yummy. I think more veg options on the menu without having to pre-order.
