Anthony's review of The Maltsters Arms

A party of four of us ate at the Maltsters Arms on the 13th February and opted for the Valentine's menu.

North Cornwall is not blessed with a plethera of decent pubs you can afford to eat in, so we are not spoilt for options.

We had read up on the pub and so booked in advance. We have a small holiday cottage in St Minver and have struggled to find anywhere decent to eat apart from the usual Rick Stein's or 15 at Watergate Bay which we cannot afford on every visit.

We were not expecting anything exceptional from the Maltsters and would have been content with an adequate night out.

We were in for a shock!

The greeting at the door was warm and friendly with a good selection of beers and wines served my smiling faces. We were shown to our table and given adequate time to order without feeling rushed or frustrated.

The party opted for the £30 per head, four course selection. Across the four of us we covered much of the menu and without exception, the food was excellent (easily up to the celebrity restaurants) as was the options available. We had a great evening and are eager to go again. I feel sure the usual menu would be as good and we look forward to testing this out.

We will be making the Maltsters a regular night out if our early impressions are anything to go by.
