The Pendennis

Sunday lunch. Pros great dining room, lovely white table clothes, attentive service. Good starters, cheese and sweets. But let down by stewed watery vegetables guess not a vitamin in these at all. Tough beef, overcooked dry roast potatoes. Overly rich gravy. Dry Bread slices placed on table rather than choosing bread from a basket. We have been coming here over last ten years and it’s hit a low (but admittedly from a very high bar) . For £35 per person.

We booked for Sunday lunch with a friend and were very disappointed to sit at a scratched table with no cloths on it. When I rang to book I specifically asked if the restaurant had cloths as knew the bar didn’t. I was told yes. The waitress said that it was due to Covid! Why? The food was ok but only one choice of meat, beef, and the deserts were very poor. Ice cream in scoops, a chocolate torte or cheese. I expected a lot more from the Duchy hotel and was so glad it wasn’t for a celebration. It was also chilly.So many better places in Falmouth to have a Sunday roast. Many local pubs do a far better lunch in a more homely setting. Would not come again sorry.

We dined here as a group of four. The food was first class and the service was excellent. This is a really enjoyable restaurant.

A group of us dined at The Royal Duchy Hotel for pre Xmas Lunch at the beginning of Dec quite enjoyable food cooked very well though not enough veg on the table for 8 people so had to ask for more though only received extra carrots brussel sprouts not any extra parsnips or red cabbage which we would have preferred The starter dessert quite enjoyable We did not stay overnight at The Hotel so not sure of all their facilities available

Great views all around! Falmouth, St Mawes, the water, boats--great to see. The lecture tours by the staff were excellent. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy at least half day.
