The Noughts & Crosses Inn

We ate at the Noughts and Crosses tonight. Lovely fresh seabass, served quickly, nice and hot and reasonably priced wine. Tom the waiter/ barman was lovely and friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. All in all thoroughly enjoyed.

We ate here last night. Fabulous food. We had scallops and catch of the day. Absolutely great tasty food and well presented. Staff very friendly and musical entertainment was good too. Definitely go here again

Sunday lunch was excellent, but dont visit if time is an issue. Only one person taking orders and running the bar and one other person wandering around chatting to customers but doing little else. A couple did arrive wait to be served for fifteen minutes and then walked out. Such a shame as food is excellent they just need a good Manager.

my wife and I visited today at about 5.15 we were well met by a lovely gentleman behind the bar who was very personable and helpful ,who also had a great knowledge of the area. we ordered two drinks and sat in the bar where we inquired about food . we were informed that the kitchen didn't start evening meals until 6 but the gentleman asked about any allergy or dietary requirements and went through the menu with us explaining the catch of the day, locally sourced ingredients and the specials for the day . as soon as the kitchen was ready he already had our menu choices and took it into the kitchen before time .. we decided on local mussels for starter, catch of the day ( sea bass ) for myself and chicken parm for the wife .. with everything cooked to order and the place being just starting evening service I expected a wait but I was pleasantly surprised when the mussels in a beautifully decadent sauce were infront of us before I finished my pint..they were provided with a bowl and a hot lemon water to wash your hands if you eat like an animal as I tend to do . I went up to the bar when we finished the starter and met the owner of the hotel who was very happy to chat and was proud to talk about his place and the food namely the connections to the local area .this gentleman served me at the bar and when I returned to the table he came and cleared off the table ..and returned with the mains in short order .. the sea bass was exquisite and fresh , the sauce it came in was incredible and the new potatoes where slightly pan fried to give them this small crunch when you bit into them the veg was a vivid green and obviously fresh ..it was all perfectly balanced beautifully put together and filling but at the same time a light meal ..perfection . the chicken parm was presented equally well and my wife enjoyed it massively. we tried a small piece of each others and would have happily ordered each others ..and still might we have a few days here..for our desert we chose the lemon tart that was made in house and was divine ...this is first class food .have no doubt about that ...the portions are substantial I'm an eater and if I were to leave a place feeling hungry I'd not write a review .I really enjoyed myself tonight i hope I can return to try some of the other items on the menu try this place you will not regret it Best food I've had since arriving here in polperro . rhys

THE BEST FOOD WE HAD IN POLPERRO. Absolutely gorgeous food with a very laid back/romantic vibe. 😍 The service by the chefs son is second to none. He was very accommodating when my partner was stressed when trying to get a booking so last minute. We had a deliciously fresh fish starter and a Thai seafood curry for our main and it was soooo good. We had the pistachio brownie as a dessert and it WAS AMAZING! Don't be fooled by how dark it is inside. Go for the food you won't be disappointed!!
