The Chester Arms changed hands in July and the new chef owner has returned having worked here as a chef in the past. It is a country pub serving good food with a good sized car park.
We started with Cornish crab (£12), prawns with garlic and chilli (£6) and mushrooms on a crouton with a creamy sauce (£5). For the main course we had tuna on a noodle salad (£14), ribs (£13), rib-eye (£17) and a very large T-bone (£25). It is a testament to the food that the only quibble would be that the chips, were rather pale and anaemic, although they tasted good. Everything else was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, the Cornish Crab in particular was lovely.
We booked, but on this occasion the place was fairly quiet: hopefully as news of the excellent food spreads booking will become essential. Strongly recommended.

Went back for another meal. There is a special offer on Fridays at the moment, buy 2 courses and get a free desert: so it worked out at just over £20 per head for 3 courses.
The food was very good, just a few minor niggles like no bread offered, slightly over-cooked lamb, microwaved desert (bread and butter pudding is better crispy) and fairly long wait between courses.
Still for the money excellent food and great value, recommended. read more
