Today, my partner and I proceeded to sit down and eat breakfast at our most cherished restaurant... The GREAT British Grub. I decided to take a chance on the Spinach & feta quiche... and let me tell you... what an incredible surprise! So... so delicious. I almost ate the plate!! But... that's not where it ends... the strawberry lemonade I'd also decided to take a chance on... hit me like the euphoria described by the Beatles in "Strawberry Fields Forever"... and I'm still not done! oh no! ...I THEN ordered the Pina Colada Cake... and did the bells from angels above ever start to chime... when the first piece hit my tongue... soft, light... like heaven... with a rich creamy icing, like nothing I have ever tasted before... chunks of my favorite fruit... pineapple... juicy and overall I am speechless, yet I was called by something deep within... perhaps the Cake Gods... to write this review so YOU may also delve into a similar experience which is nothing short of divine. The service is always wonderful, the environment comfortable and the food delightful. Best restaurant around. Thanks GBG - you never fail!

The food was fantastic and a good value. Very friendly staff who interacted with us my wife advised her Tuna melt was the best she ever had so she won’t be able to order another

The Cafe was recommened and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommend the meat pies Steak and Ale
I stop here every time I'm in Truro. The food is always good. I choose to sit outside because of the strong smell of cigarettes when I walk past the kitchen. I don't believe they smoke in the kitchen, but the smoke sticks to their clothes. The servers are always very friendly and try their best. I'll be back and I recommend this little gem.

Couldn't resist visiting this restaurant when we spotted it on a short visit to Truro. Turned out to be an absolute find and such a fun place to eat. The food was delicious and the pie and mash some of the best we've had. The Bakewell tart was the real deal only missing the very British custard to go with it - though the ice cream was a very acceptable substitute. The place was cute and cosy and full of local people, it's clearly very popular. Our server was delightful and very thoughtful (I forgot to ask her name but she had made the Bakewell tart) and the whole lunch experience made our day. Oh and we thought it was amazingly good value!
