Harden's survey result
Summary
On the one hand, many regulars hail the Stein family’s big, “bustling” inn as a “perfect neighbourhood spot”, offering “real value for money” cooking in a still-pub-like setting (“good for a casual drink”), and a no-nonsense, ‘welcome all comers’ approach (“it’s the first time we’ve seen nearly as many well-behaved dogs as guests for Sunday lunch”). On the downside, service can be “lacklustre” and “the slightly barn like interior detracts from the experience”.
Summary
Now with a “beautifully executed” extension out back, Rick Stein’s “family-friendly” inn scores warm reports for “food that – while very pubby – is all of it delicious and well-sourced”. Service can be “chaotic”, and it’s “probably best to avoid if you don’t like dogs hanging around your table”, but these are the only complaints.
Summary
From the “wholesome Cornish grub” to the “very helpful staff”, the Stein-empire’s “lovely old village inn” is both “an excellent restaurant, and a busy local”... but watch out – being “really busy”, it can “sometimes run out of food!”
Summary
Rick Stein’s village inn is a “very slick operation which hits the mark on all accounts”, from its “good value” but simple British pub grub to its casual atmosphere; naturally it tends to get “crowded in the summer”.
