What a fantastic place - small, intimate and brilliant service.
The food was excellent and Fowey mussels with Nduja and cider was sooo good that we went back the next night too.
And very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back again!!!

If you are in the area, you must go to this restaurant! Make sure to book ahead as it’s a small place.
The food was incredible - everything we ordered was sensational.
The staff were brilliant - delightfully friendly and service was spot on.
The atmosphere was peaceful - service was the right tempo, you could relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed and it was quiet enough you could have a decent conversation.
Fab fab fab!

Beautiful food and service, the choices of drinks were excellent and our server gave great wine recommendations for our meals. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the roast chicken which was extremely juicy, the corn ribs were very flavourful. The crab arancini was excellent, we also had the beef shin doughnut which just melted on the tongue. The lamb three ways had a wonderful combination of flavours and the steak was perfectly cooked. The desserts were also wonderfully rich and creamy. Highly recommend this restaurant

Incredible food, some of the best local food I've experienced. The chef clearly puts time and effort into his creations and they are wonderful, well worth going as you will not be disappointed. The service is also excellent, really makes you feel at home. They clearly spend time sourcing the best ingredients, the mussels were huge and some of the best I've had. If you're in the area, you simply have to go to The Old Bank.

I had seen this restaurant whilst looking around the place that we was staying for the week. Thought it looked nice online.
I cannot describe how amazing this place actually is. The food was unreal. Best steak I've ever had. All the dishes had so much flavour!
The guys was really nice that were serving us also. Definitely recommend!
