Treburley Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: The “stunning” combination of “really good, classic food” and the “lovely setting” of “Humphry Repton’s last garden, overlooking the Tamar”, makes a meal in the original wood-panelled dining room here a real pleasure. There’s also a notable cream tea in the afternoon. Sibling to Hotel Tresanton in the Polizzi Collection, Endsleigh was originally the Duke of Bedford’s private lodge for hunting and fishing.

“Gorgeous and remote”, this “inviting farm-to-fork restaurant” from well-known big-city chefs April Bloomfield (New York’s Spotted Pig) and Tom Adams (London’s Pitt Cue) goes “super-local and super-rustic with their menu – and you can’t help loving the wonderful converted stone barn dining room and attentive service”. Some find it “a marmite experience”: “the dishes are so few and so stripped-back that a nagging voice kept asking ‘is this it?’, even while the quality of cooking was superb”. But a large majority reckon it’s “well worth the journey”, as you “come away having fallen in love with the place”. Its influence stretches far: Coombeshead bread crops up regularly on smart menus in London.
