It’s no wonder this place is number one on TripAdvisor.
If you’re unsure where the restaurant is then head towards the Barley Sheaf pub. When you’re within a 20-30 metre radius you’ll be able to smell it.
Whilst it’s relatively small the the place has a great atmosphere. This gives it its character along with its friendly and helpful staff.
It’s not one of these phony setups that pretends to be something it isn’t. It’s the real deal.
Next time you’re contemplating going out for food in Truro, try this place.
Had the 12oz smoke house burger and have to say it was one of the best burgers I’ve had..
Will definitely be going back..
The sharing platter looks awesome ...
10/10
Delicious! Sean was wonderfully helpful, friendly and we absolutely enjoyed his passion for South Africa and recommending tasty dishes. Beef curry was so yummy and Malva pudding has quickly risen as one of my favourite desserts! See you again soon 🎊
First time at Chorley's and South African food. The Veggie option was really moorish and the mutton curry was amazing. A good choice in desserts as well. Great atmosphere and very helpful and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.
Lovely food and lovely service. Food was tasty and very filling. Only down side is that the booths in the pics are not built for larger boned people (embarrassing), but thankfully, there are other free-standing tables and chairs to sit on. We had chicken wings for starters and the mild chorley's sauce was lip smackingly good. Followed by mutton curry and a mix up grill. Wow we were so full up, we nearly needed wheelbarrows to carry us back. Very very filling and flavoursome food. The artwork outside was breathtaking. The only criticism and it is very small is that the toilet is up some stairs which may not be so good for mobility challenged individuals. Other than that highly recommended and we will be back again.
African themed restaurant not far from Truro Carhedral. Varied menu and takeout availability, the ribs were excellent. The restaurant is small, so would suggest booking in advance.
Visited on Friday as in area , I originally booked for night after but staff more than happy for us to change.
Atmosphere super friendly and relaxed, decor really nice and authentic.
We ordered lager and the sharing platter for 2 , presented nicely , was really tasty definitely be going back 😋
Food was really good, I had chicken wings and mutton curry. The wings were definitely my top 3 best wings I ever had. Very disappointed with the curry, it left me with a lot to be desired.
My friend had a chicken burger apparently it was his top five burger he ever had. He said better than Bookoos. 🥹😆
Service was quick. Friendly customer service and staff. We were lucky to seat down without booking, must have been due to to England v France game.
First time we had visited and we were impressed! We both had Bunny Chows, which were curries in half loaves. They were fab, tasty and the right amount of spice to them. They were very filling, which sadly meant we had no room for dessert or to try an alcoholic milkshake, but it has given us an excuse to go back! The owner who served us was very friendly and took the time to chat to us about the concept and history. Definitely recommended.
Fantastic place, small but well run and organised. Without a booking we were greeted and welcomed. Shane explained the menu and checked on us during the meal. We watched him happily greet people, and fit patrons in where he could.
The food, wow. Just perfect.
We wish we had more time in Truro to try more menu items.
Terrific casual spot, give them a try.
Another fantabulous meal, the Chorley's Signature Platter is amazing and we had to take some of it home! Trued the new peppermint tart and it was absolutely delicious, a new favourite dessert.
Service is amazing and nothing is too much trouble.
Wonderful relaxing atmosphere, excellent service. Small restaurant but well spaced out. The food was amazing, I am not a big fan of spicy food, but this had plenty of choices for everyone, and the waitress was highly knowledgeable about the choices on offer. I had a traditional african curry to try new things, which I found was very tasty and different. My husband had the vegetarian bean bunny chow, which was awesome, half a loaf filled with curry! He loves spicy food and he was very impressed. The desserts were to die for, I had the mint tart which was sort of a firm caramel cheesecake on a biscuit base drizzled with caramel sauce and covered with mint chocolate shavings. Delicious! I observed others having a sharing platter of ribs and chicken and all sorts, and it looked fantastic. A really different experience with the African cuisine and definitely somewhere we would go again as we wish to sample more of their menu.
