We visited on Sunday night after seeing the positive reviews on Tripadvisor.We didnât book (thereâs no option on the website but the team told us next time fill in the enquiry form and theyâll confirm.)Iâd recommend booking as there are only a finite number of tables and it is clearly very popular.For good reason! Despite the lack of booking the super friendly team made sure we were accommodated.Service was prompt but not rushed. Very chatty but not intrusive. Laid back but on the ball too.Food...terrific. We shared an indulgent Camembert together and then both had the burger. Bursting with great flavour and texture.Excellent selection of beer, nice wine list for the location. And value! We are Londoners and so the reasonable prices were very refreshingThank you team, it was lovely.

The food was good, carvery is good qualitySetting is good especially for old pub lovers. I'll go back to Pandora Inn, and recommended trying it yourself. One down side it is not child friendly, few toys for toddlers coloring book etc would be brill.Dear Wend196800Thank you for taking the time to review us and we are pleased that you enjoyed our food, setting and the character of the old building. We are more than a little disappointed with your comment that we are not child friendly as this is simply not the case - a big part of The Pandora inn's trade comes from the family market and we have tried to reflect this in some of the things we do which include having baby changing facilities, high chairs, crabbing kits for kids, and a dedicated under 12's menu which is printed on a separate A4 double sided sheet with the menu and sugar free drink options on one side and a word search and colouring in section on the reverse - we have crayons available so that children can 'play' while their parents chat. If you can't find something you need - such as the kids menu please just ask - we have a very friendly team who are always happy to help.With regardsThe Pandora Inn team

Went here for a work thing so wasnât in control of where we ate. Having looked at the menu online seeing zero vegan options I was worried that Iâd be sat drinking water and eating nothing in front of colleagues so I phoned ahead and was reassured that there were vegan options but that the menu on the website wasnât current. Feeling better about the situation I arrived to see only one vegan starter, one vegan main and zero vegan desserts :( None of the vegan options were labelled vegan either so I only knew they were SFV because I asked. The starter option was some kind of pepper dish, I ordered it because there was nothing else expecting stuffed peppers or something, but was genuinely shocked when I was served literally 20 plain peppers on a plate. Meanwhile my colleagues are eating delicate salads, delicious looking chicken wings and fancy potato croquettes... I was upset to be honest as I felt forgotten and that a vegan option was a last thought when it came to menu development, and realised halfway through my 20 peppers that I wasnât enjoying them. Then I got nervous because the only vegan main course, which I therefore had to order, was aubergine (literally no ones favourite vegetable) with yet more peppers. My colleagues had ordered loads of chips so I was hoping to turn this evening around with potato only to be told the chips had duck skin sprinkled on them. The staff who were so lovely and patient with our obnoxious group offered to bring me some non-duck skin chips which I really really appreciated. Watching my colleagues tuck into hearty portions of roasted meats, cauliflower gratins, buttered greens and more while I was faced with more plain(ish) veg was pretty sad and has been the only time in my four years of being vegan that I felt truly disappointed at my life choices. Then I sat through dessert with nothing while everyone else ate cheesecake, ice cream and chocolate tarts before I could leave. My group was large and difficult so I would like to acknowledge the great service, polite and thoughtful staff made me feel a lot better when I was getting embarrassed by my groups poor timekeeping skills. I really expected better from a place Iâve heard only good things about. The starter was definitely lacking, especially when compared to the standard of meal the non vegans were given, and then to be followed by a meal that was more of the same peppers but now with added aubergine was absolutely not worth £16. Itâs so easy to make amazing vegan meals, and to not offer one even one vegan dessert (not even sorbet!?) was pretty rubbish. Vegan pies, tarts, curries, gourmet burgers, nut roast, pasta dishes are all things vegans love to see on a menu so it would be great to see something more like that in future. Iâd recommend this place for drinks as staff are fantastic and atmosphere is lovely but the vegan food was not up to modern standards. (Great staff though guys thank you really sorry to complain)Next time, please let us know your specific dietary requirements and our kitchen will make something for you; weâve nothing against vegans, I assure you. However, our menu is very much shaped by the superb local meat and fish sourced on our doorstep and weâre not afraid to admit it!

Food was very heavy and calorie laden, had heartburn for 2 days afterwards .garlic bread was literally dripping , if you like greasy food its definitely for you, I had the scallops which I thought was a healthy choice, but they were so swamped in sauce they were deemed tastless.Sorry to hear of your disappointed. The scallops are actually one of our most popular dishes and we've never had a complaint about them. it's a shame you didn't mention any of the issues during your visit with us. I'm also very sorry you had too waste time writing your very first review on trip advisor when again you just have simply mentioned it on the night . What did you have for mains ? Hopefully they were to you satisfaction ? Also the only gave 2 stars for service. This shocks me as Sarah is an absolute diamond of a host and is fantastic with all the customers. Thank you for you wordsPaul

I had a lovely birthday supper where staff really made me feel special, with a complimentary glass of fizz and a lovely wrapped bag of homemade traybake to take home - a really lovely touch and showed their attention to detail as well as great customer service.The pub is quite delightful, atmospheric and quaint with many small areas to sit and drink and eat, though there is a small dining room at the back.Food was well cooked and delicious - our party tended to have fish of the day and steak and a vegetarian dish all being tasty and quite large portioned. Certainly one of the best dining places in Truro. It has a great bar with many selections of gin and wine and beer.
