Crossbow cafe & grill — Restaurant in Tintagel

A nice enough meal with quick service and pleasant staff. I had the ribs which came with onion rings, chips and 'slaw, the meat was nice and tender but the sauce could had a bit more flavour!

My wife had the 'taste of the sea' which came fish cakes, butterfly prawns, salad and lots and lots of chips. It should of had a few more prawns and less chips! My daughter had the beef lasagne which she said was ok but not as nice as the one we make at home!

The interior is a bit of a mishmash of old and new, with sawn wooden pallets stuck on the walls, and in my opinion far too many ceiling spot lights (23 in total) which made the ambience a bit harsh and more like a dentist's, rather than a welcoming cosy restaurant.

I always research restaurants before we visit an area and Crossbow had the best pricing and something for everyone. I had the Bacon and Brie Toasty and it was the best I've ever had. Very generous size. It came with a lovely salad and a little serving of some amazing (very fresh) coleslaw. I was glad our daughter doesn't like slaw, because she had a bigger portion that I ate.

We'll definitely be back. We live about 40 mins away and will make this a lunch...

The visit was very average and border line negative as I'm in Cornwall and wanted a cornish paste at 3pm in the day and they failed to tell us this at the time of entering, when we went to order we was informed they had no cornish pastie's! The remainder of the experience was okay ish, also what I found really weird was they informed so many customers that they were closed for 30mins as the chef was having his lunch... Unheard of!! All staff then sat down and had lunch together whilst so many potential paying customers were turned away... Paying customers vs staff having lunch together... 🤔 Does not make fundamental business sense... Management should really look at putting customers and customer needs at the heart of...
