Eliot Arms

The Eliot Arms has always been a distinctive little pub that has a reputation of great food. Me and my fiancée Julie always come here for an evening meal when we are down in Cornwall. The pub interior is a fabulous antique-esque type of decor that would not look out of place in a Harry Potter film set. Clocks of all shapes and sizes adorn the walls with brasses and other paraphernalia making it quaint. The food as always is great and as always we can never finish everything as the portions are extremely generous. The potato side (whether chips, croquettes, new potatoes or curly fries) come on a separate plate - and believe me you need that side plate as the main food reaches the sides of the main plate! Never had a bad experience at The Eliot. It has always been a pleasure to book a table and give them our custom. So if you ever find yourself near Launceston then head out to Tregadillett for the Eliot and have yourself a right tasty meal.

Amazing meal here for my birthday. Beautifully cooked steak and the portions were huge! The service was second to none and the whole pub is beautiful - quirky, quaint, loads of features and a ghost story too! My only bugbear was that they charge for soda water even to accompany wine - if You're spending £20+ on a bottle of wine, £2.20 for a pint of soda to accompany it was a bit much - I drink white wine and soda, and have never been charged for soda before. It is a gorgeous place and a little on the pricey side. We spent over £100 on food, and about £70 on drinks over the evening, so this seemingly small thing just left a little sour taste of greed on the part of whoever sets the bar prices. It wouldn't put me off returning, but I wont order a bottle of wine next time. Fabulous food and staff and highly recommend.

A true hidden gem, but to be guaranteed a table you must book in advance! The pub looks beautiful from the outside and walking in your greeted with a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pub was very busy and we made our way over to the bar. After ordering a drink we were shown to our table to the side of the bar, past a number of lovely clocks and other ornaments on the wall which gave the place a really cosy warm feelings. The menu is small but has a great variety of dishes to choose from and I chose to order the fish and chips. The waiter advised us there would be a bit of a wait, however the food arrived sooner than expected. The fish was delicious with tender meat and crispy batter. The chips were crispy and fresh and the whole dish was fantastic with an ideal portion size. For dessert I ordered the profiteroles which were also delicious. The price for the food was reasonable for the quality and I was very happy with my experience at the Eliot Arms. As the pub was very busy I strongly recommend booking in advanced so you are guaranteed a table. I personally cannot wait for my next visit.

Staying locally we were fortunate to be able book a table last minute. We were made to feel very welcome by staff and there was a great choice of drinks to suit all tastes. A mixed grill and steak and kidney pie cooked to order. The portion size was very generous, so much so we both left a fair bit, which was a shame as the quality was excellent. I really fancied one of the sweets from the special board but couldn't manage it . Would heartily recommend, thank you.

A fantastic old inn, full of history and charm. Very friendly attentive staff, amazing food, lots of choice, and first class chips. Arrive starving - the portions are enormous!! If you order a pud, share it with someone else!!! One other thing - it may be old and heavily decorated with horse brasses, pictures, maps and memorabilia... but it is spotlessly clean! Well worth a visit.

Stayed the night as I was down for work. Firstly, exceptionally friendly and helpful people working and running the pub. Great simple wholesome food. I had a steak that was cooked exactly as I wanted it done. Good value, great room, great breakfast. My only complaint was that I didn't see the ghost! Will be going back to Cornwall in a month or two and will definitely try and stay there again.

Fabulous find!! This pub is a little gem just off the A30 into Cornwall. We wanted to break up our journey for lunch and ate really pleased we found 'Eliot Arms'. I booked beforehand and was impressed by the warmth shown on the confirmation phone call. This warmth continued throughout our visit from the welcome and service at the bar to the food and farewell greeting! We ordered Sunday Roast (Lamb and Beef) & a 4oz Burger which were all huge portions & absolutely delicious. The service was very quick and friendly. The staff clearly love their jobs and its location in the village. The specials board had a large choice of deserts which we just couldn't resist- again huge and perfect. Will definitely be returning when in the area or indeed when returning from our holiday! Highly recommended!
