Redruth Meadery in Cornwall

Overpriced, shocking slow service, chips absolutely overdone, steak full of grissle,don't sit upstairs as you are lucky to get service without catching someone serving someone else We ordered starter main course and pudding 30 mins for starters not to bad but then 55 mins wait for mains then they forgot one of our meals so had to wait another 10 mins while rest of party eat theirs, your not allowed to order drinks at the bar so have to wait an eternity for a passing waiter to hopefully notice you and take your order. I complained to two waiters and asked for the manager but to no avail. No appology or exploration from them.The kids were getting so resless and had drunk all their drink I had to ask for another round of drinks (which we wouldn't have normal had to have done) while we were waiting and ask for them to be free because of the wait and poor service (to be honest i would have expected this to be offered because of the delay am mix ups)again asked for the manager but was only delt with by a waiter. We booked early for 6pm so wasn't busy and exactly prime time when we arrived and because we had to young children,finally left just under 3 hours later not because we wanted to stay that long but because of the slow service £125 really not well spent at all will not be going back

Good food but had to wear masks. When they don't even work, an other restaurants don't ask, very annoying. I didn't have one so had to use one of theirs.

Great choice of food, drinks and of course mead. Food is all freshly cooked to order. Very friendly staff and Covid compliant. We'll worth a visit.

We loved the staff and the atmosphere, you couldn't fault the main meals or the pudding but unfortunately we had the fish for the starter and they were over cooked, very dry and we couldn't eat it. We were in a group so didn't like to make an issue of it. It wouldn't put us off going again. Thanks for a lovely evening.Xx

We arrived staff friendly and was so good to see they were following Covid guidelinesWe were taken upstairs to our table Not impressed we were squashed in like sardinesOn their menu it said ask for help as I am Gluten Free. Someone came to see me but I was told the only thing I could have was either the Ribs or a Steak as they had not put the Gluten free fryer on (surely this only takes 6 minutes to warm up to correct temperatureWell the food turned up. The prawn cocktails had huge lumps of lettuce and hardly any sauceThen the main course I had a streak medium rare and yes it was well cooked but tasteless. My husband had a medium steak which he said was very tough the other two main meals were also uninspiring. The chips were like rubber.Very expensive for poor quality food

I live a stones throw away so we frequently eat there and have done for years.Booked a table for four, staff very accommodating when I was too cold to sit at table 10As usual the atmosphere was lovely, staff were friendly and attentiveWe however were a bit shocked at a huge change in quality of food.Lasagna was bone dry. Spicy bean burger had no spice, the bun had one lettuce leaf and half a slice of tomato.When our food was brought to the table the waitress dropped a chip and picked it up and put it in my friend’s bowl of chips (hygiene no, no) Chips obviously changed to as they are normally so crispy.I hate to say but we had looked forward to a meal out. We said we’ll go to Redruth meadery as we know the food.The lettuce leaf and tomato really isn’t a side salad. Cucumber and red onion would have made a big difference.Disappointed

Absolute must if your in Cornwall. Great atmosphere and deffo try the Mead 😍

Been coming here many years, used to eat in the Newquay meadery and got recommended here when it shut, caramel profiteroles were lush be even better if they were salted caramel 😋

Last minute decision to go to the meadery but so glad we did. I had the Ribs and they were delicious. My friend had the Chicken in the Rough and really enjoyed it. A relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it

I visited on a Thursday night about three weeks ago with my daughter, place is a real change from where we normally go, staff were great manageress was really accommodating especially as they were busy and we had no reservations, I had a burger and my daughter had the small chicken shes a child, she loved the salad bar, as did I,the desserts are lovely, especially the Tennessee grasshopper (minty cake) with Cornish clotted cream.. great atmosphere inside my daughter had never been to a meadery and wants to go again, sadly there aren't any near where we live. but will make an effort to come back next summer
