The Bettle & Chisel — Restaurant in England

Wasnt welcome here at all! Didnt end up ordering anything due to staff members attitude! We are a family of 4 with a small dog. After reading the website and reviews we arrived at around 5.30pm hoping to have a meal. Inside there was no one having food that we could see so we waited at the bar area to order. A young blonde girl came in and was very rude in telling us they were not taking any more food orders unless booked prior. There was nothing about the need to book on their website/reviews so we raised this and she said they’d update the page. Her attitude was disgusting towards us and was very unprofessional she didnt ask us if we’d like to come back later/still have drinks or even apologise! She looked scruffy and was running to the shop to buy things so the “cooked” meals are likely to be something frozen and mass produced rather than fresh food! I had read elsewhere that certain places in Cornwall do not like “outsiders” and I didnt believe this until today! Clearly didnt want to serve us and could barely speak to us! If you arent staying on their site or are on holiday from elsewhere...

Really disappointing. Decor is reminiscent of a 90's working men's club and in a county of fresh, local produce it's a real shame to find such bland, tasteless food. I'm not overly fussy but I couldn't eat my seafood stew. Very uninspiring kids menu - chicken nuggets, pizza, burger, fish fingers... although I'll give them points for offering a kids salad option. My Son went for tomato pasta with cheese and even that was somehow horrible. Our side orders of garlic bread and sweet potato fries were clearly straight out of the freezer. They had no local juices on offer, the apple juice was in a carton and from Ireland! I had a J2O. Service was also poor, we waited half an hour for someone to come and clear away our half eaten food but all the tables around us were served and we didn't even get checked on. In the end we got up and paid at the bar without ordering dessert. They did at least take my meal off the bill. This was the only bad meal we've had during our holiday in Cornwall. Avoid. There are many, many better options...

Very enjoyable visit to this pub/bar. We were pleasantly surprised by the range of what is on offer here. There a good beer garden and the back, and a very well stocked farm shop between the bar and the beer garden. The staff explained that sometimes people needed things when the village shop was closed, and therefore the farm shop is open as long as the bar it open. All of the veg and produce in the shop looked in top condition and extremely fresh. There are some nice real ales here at the bar, and we decided to book for dinner. My wife had the vegetarian thali and I had the whole fish - both were very good. As other reviews had noted, there is a large car park at the back, where overnight stays are possible for campervans, presumably by pre-arrangement (although we didn't do this ourselves). Good staff,...
