I was really hoping to be able to write something more positive as my partner chose this restaurant for lunch, but unfortunately the best way I could describe our roast dinner was unremarkable. The first mouthful was lukewarm, the meat was scant and thinly cut. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding unappealing, the vegetables almost indistinguishable except for the peas. Presentation non-existent, although the service was good. I know it could be hugely more enjoyable - try eating Sunday roast at the Swan in Bampton, Devon - a completely different experience including the settings. I would love Trehallas to do better, I left feeling disappointed. Update the décor, so it doesn't feel I've stepped back in time. Direct the chef to serve the food hot, present the veg in separate dishes, provide extra gravy. Easy things to remedy. Customers, especially those who have travelled and come across exceptional meals, expect more these days. Trehellas are still catering for those who are happy with 1980's pub grub.

Booked for evening meal, nice location and friendly family run character hotel. Staff were friendly, well balanced menu offering a good selection of choices. Meal was served in a timely manner, food quality was good, we enjoyed our meals. Would recommend to anyone in the Bodmin area.
