Chef-patron John Hooker and his wife Emma celebrate their 10th anniversary this year at this old coaching inn on the road to Cornwall (hence the name). Marks are down this year, with a couple of disappointing reports. Perhaps it’s just a blip because there is still plenty of enthusiasm for “John’s delightful, unfussy cooking”, which fans say “stays just on the right side of good value”.

“I’ve had far less pleasure for far more dough” – chef-patron John Hooker’s cooking is “dangerously delicious” at the “lovely” old pub with rooms he and his wife Emma have transformed over the past decade.

The rough-around-the-edges pub that once stood here is long gone – these days it’s “clearly popular and well-regarded” owing to chef-patron John Hooker’s “consistently good” gastro fare that’s “tremendous value for money” too.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
