Department store
The Range in Truro is a chain retailer offering a wide range of home, garden, and leisure products, including furniture and kitchen equipment. Additionally, it houses an Iceland store with great deals on food. The store provides reasonably priced homeware goods, craft supplies, art supplies, decorating equipment, and gardening supplies. There is also a furniture department upstairs and customer toilets available. Visitors can enjoy the lovely cafe on the top floor with a good selection of food.
Set back off the road it’s easy to miss the turning and drive straight past, which I’ve done a couple of times 🤣
The Range is one of my wife’s go to places for pictures and frames. And today was no exception as she found three pictures to go in various rooms.
For all your Halloween & Christmas take the lift or elevator to the first floor, it’s rammed with bits n bobs 🙂
Not one for following my wife around like a lost sheep, I went upstairs and enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee and biscuit in the cafe that is always clean and tidy, unlike some of the aisles that were full of goods waiting to be put on shelves.
You’ll be pleased to know there is adequate onsite parking, which Free for the first 2hrs, thereafter there’s a charge!

The Range has almost everything you need. Gardening,cooking, soft furnishings etc.
I bought a six chaired garden set in the clearance( six high backed chairs with cushions, massive round table with glass cover).
It should have been £599 but was £299. Only 2 screws missing which I had at home.
Nice retail outlet that covers a great range of items from DIY category to household and food stuff.
I’m not sure but it seems to have absolve a part of Wilko and is also in collaboration with Iceland. The prices of items are also competitive.
Good store for all sorts of household items, pictures, mirrors, lamps, diy, electrical, tools, curtains, cushions, furniture, gardening equipment, garden furniture. really helpful staff and the prices are very reasonable. There is also a cafe but we haven’t tried that as it wasn’t open when we’ve been in. There is plenty of parking too.
The toy department at the top of the escalator hidden by toy isles, is an accident waiting to happen. The gardening department is squeezed into a very narrow footprint, with hardly any room for a shopping trolley. Staff were abrupt and complained about being short staffed. This review would have had one star if not for a member of staff who was polite and empathetic and who went out of her way to be helpful. For her I would give 5 stars.
Two people on >Customer Care, and only one person on the till waiting to be served, should come over and open another till invited use the one on >Customer Care >and Service from there
Wide range of household items available plus large Christmas section when visited. Shop is huge and you could spend hours looking at the items for sale all at reasonable prices.

Porthtowan Beach is a stunning Blue Flag beach located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Cornwall. It's a popular surfing spot with large dunes and dramatic cliffs framing the area. At low tide, visitors can walk to the neighboring Chapel Porth beach. The surrounding Coast Path features reminders of the area's mining heritage and offers breathtaking sea views. Despite being surrounded by hills and cliffs, it's easily accessible for dog walkers due to its flat land at the rear.
Beautiful beach with its lovely little beach shop from april. Car park is expensive at £2.50ph (from April also,) but a lovely clean and quaint beach you can swim or walk the dogs on
Edward B — Google review
Beautiful beach sheltered from the winds by high cliff faces on either side. Well looked after by lifeguards and a few places to eat inland, plus walks up the coast, and even a rock pool built into the coastline!
Gets busy in summer (as you would expect), so parking is at a premium - surf hire also available by the beach.
This is an absolutely fantastic place. I visit here regularly. The land time forgot. The car is a 2-minute walk from the beach. They have a nice play area for children. They have nice bars, restaurants, great food, delicious ice cream, and surf shops. It is a little piece of heaven. Cheers, Vince.
Cosy surfing spot also popular with families. In high season, it gets saturated with tourists so much so that the fish & chip shop run out of cod, and advance booking at the Unicorn is essential.
A great beach to walk the dog in the off season when the tide is out. Rock pools to explore and the headland shelters you from some of the coastal breeze. Parking wasn't an issue and there seemed to be plenty of places to eat nearby.
Lovely place to watch the sunset, nice bars and a great little beach.. dogs not allowed on the beach in the day time... evenings ok👍
Beautiful scenery, very clean with plenty of bins provided fo4 disposal of rubbish. Some cafes and a small shop on the beach front plus pub and chip shop further up the street. Kids loved the beach and swimming in the sea. Lifeguards on duty between certain day time hours with visible presence and easy to contact. Very family friendly beach and also great for rockpooling. Looks even better when the tide is out due to more little coves to explore but amazing whatever time you visit. I haven't seen 4 teen boys who usually love computers smile that much being outdoors. There is also a clear little stream that runs over the beach and into the sea which was ideal for the kids to wash their sandy feet off on the way back to the car.
A really lovely beach with easy access from the parking lot (that is if you arrive early enough to get a spot, count on before 10 am on a sunny day). Only 4 stars because dogs are banned during the high season months, a sign in the parking lot or in town would be nice. Most beaches are dog friendly along the coast I really don’t understand why this one has to be an exception ?!

History Museums
Royal Cornwall Museum, located in Truro, is a treasure trove of art and culture. Established in 1818 by The Royal Institution of Cornwall, the museum showcases a diverse collection of over one million artifacts from around the world. Visitors can explore exhibits on minerals, wildlife, and the region's history. Notable highlights include an Egyptian mummy and the Rashleigh mineral gallery.
Highly recommend the exhibition currently running at the Royal Cornwall Museum, “Uncharted - Sea Journals of a Cornish Mariner” by artist Julia McKenzie who has created an amazing body of work inspired by her great-grandfathers sea diaries from the 1890s. The work is absolutely exquisite, the stories are incredibly moving and the history is so interesting. On until 2nd November.
Plus at the RCM is the amazing new interactive Rocks and Minerals gallery.

This was our first visit, and we really enjoyed it! It’s a small but interesting museum in the heart of Truro. It took about an hour to walk through, and there was plenty to see. I really liked the old furniture and antiques. The museum is great for all ages, with something for everyone to enjoy.
I haven't been here since I was a kid when my mum used to take me and my brother every Friday after school to see the mummy! Absolutely fabulous building and is immaculate, the 80's exhibition brought back so much nostalgia 🥰 The staff were all amazing and we had a Learning Assistant come and talk to us about the paintings we were looking at, he was so knowledgeable and a credit to the team. Will definitely go back again and not leave it so long! Well worth a visit .
Cornwall Museum is a quiet triumph of curiosity and local pride. Each gallery feels like a small doorway into another chapter of Cornish life, from the region’s deep geological story to its artistic pulse and maritime grit. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged, easy to explore, and clearly created by people who care about the place they’re sharing.
The staff are warm and genuinely happy to guide you, and the interactive displays add a welcome spark for families. It’s the kind of museum that doesn’t shout for attention; it invites you in and rewards you with details you didn’t know you were missing.
A wonderful stop for anyone who wants to understand Cornwall beyond the postcard views. Highly recommended.
Superb museum, well worth a visit. Situated in the heart of town, has all the history of Cornwall, art, playing spaces for kids. Variety for everyone. Building itself is worth seeing from the inside. Highly recommend
A nice county museum, with interesting collections, nicely presented. The building is lovely, and quite accessible. Good museum shop, with an excellent cafe.
Had a wonderful time re-visiting my younger days at the 80's nostalgia exhibition 👾👨🎤🎶🕹📼📺
This is one of the best museums we have been to, the only ones that are better are the big ones in London, it is extremely well set out, the displays are very relatable and creatively put together and the minerals collection is marvellous. The art exhibitions were fantastic, the Tony Foster is a must see and the book that accompanied the exhibition is beautiful and inspiring. The 1980s exhibition with really delighted this 80s teenager and my sons were fascinated by the unwrapped Mummy. The museum is great value for money and they have put a huge amount of thought into their displays, it's full accessable and has good facilities.

Located in Truro, Hub Box is a vibrant restaurant offering beachside breakfasts, loaded burgers, and dirty fries. The American diner-style eatery features colorful artwork and low-hanging lights with large glass doors providing an ocean view. Originally a pop-up in a shipping container, it has grown into a successful burger empire with locations across the southwest of England.
Super cool venue with extra tasty food inside 😋..
Converted church now churning out a fine selection of bugers and other sides, this was our first visit and initially was curious due to it being an old church.
Very trendy decor, awesome 80's playlist on in the background and the staff super friendly.
We enjoyed our food and drinks here and would recommend it absolutely. Kids eat free Mon - Thursday 11 - 5 pm currently, so make the most of that.
Burgers were delicious, onion rings were huge and tasty, chips were awesome and the kids enjoyed theirs, job done! Thanks, Hub Box.

Couldn’t have been nicer!
Burgers are fantastic and sides delicious too.
Good selected of beer. Well looked after.
Has baby changing.
Exceptional. Particularly good options for low carb type 1 diabetic. How choice double cheese with no bun and salad. Excellent presentation of the food (we’ve seen some awful things in other restaurants). Well done.
I've been here twice. I'm pretty sure the first time I came, I ordered a chicken burger that didn't appear on the menu the second time around but regardless, both times, I was presented with one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Such fresh, tasty, well seasoned chicken, fried in a batter in fresh oil that left a light, airy crisp coating. Perfection.
Service is on point, accomodating, super friendly and prompt. All of this whilst set in what I believe is a converted church. Heavenly indeed
Our experience here has been nothing short of exceptional, we came in for a quick bite and left with a good experience and come back to spot, service was friendly, efficient and all around 5 stars, the food was incredible exactly as described on the menu and the atmosphere was also very fun, positive and welcoming, definitely would come back!!!
I visited here on the 18th June 25 at 20:00hrs and ordered the Smoky B (a brisket type burger). However what I actually got was thin strips of cold grey meat that tasted rancid, I have a feeling that there may be meat storage and hygiene issues on these premises and I have reported it to Cornwall Council. The signs were all there dirty tables, sticky floors and we should of turned around and legged it, but one of our group was insistent that we try it, rather than walk too far, this was a big mistake. Why do staff ask if you enjoy your meal and when you say no, still charge you? I paid because I actually felt sorry for the staff member, but my advice is to stay clear of this spot. If the owners of the company need to know how Brisket should be cooked they need to contact me and I will show them, it's very poor, please stay clear. the place is a disaster. Regards Shaun Kent.
Exceeded expectations, the food was absolutely phenomenal and the bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest bathrooms I’ve ever experienced in a public space! Such friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Me and my partner ordered the halloumi fries, onion rings and cheese burgers and it was truly the best burger restaurant I’ve ever been to. Best spot if you’re in Truro, will be coming back next year!
Absolutely fantastic place! The premises is well done and looks the part. The food was key for us as we had two coeliac's in our party so gluten free was important! The burgers were amazing and juicy and the gluten free buns perfect! Even better was the gluten free onion rings which are hard to get so we really appreciated it. The kids menu was great value too on top of the large portions so we all left full and happy. Couldn't recommend enough!

Staff were amazing when we came in with my mum who has lost her vision. They were very attentive and helpful. A lovely woman came up to us throughout the concert and checked in to see if there was anything they could help with. Thank you to the lovely staff working the waterboys show!!

Brilliant little venue with lots of local parking, warm friendly staff and some great acts, well worth a visit. Handy little 'spoons over the road too for those cheap pre show drinks. 😉🙂
I really enjoyed seeing a show here. As an agoraphobic I was worried but we were directed our seats, it was easy to find the toilets and exits and even though we had balcony seats I could see the stage without needing my long distance glasses. I'd happily go again, even on my own now! Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the venue was very clean and well set out. There appeared to be mixed feelings of the unisex toilets, lots of comments from both men and women of how uncomfortable they felt. I am not sure I am a fan of the pre-ordered drinks being lined up on a long table with your name under, it's not clear how long they had been there, I won't be using that service again. Overall a wonderful evening was had
We went to see Derren Brown... It was fantastic.... Not allowed to say more except he blows your mind! Hall for Cornwall is a beautiful building in centre square of Truro. Will defoe go there more often. Staff friendly, organised. Shops all around you. Cathedral right there. Cobbled roads which get slippery when wet, where good walking shoes. Best way to get there is use park & ride. Cheap fares, discounts on group tickets, buses run every 15mins, loads of parking, not busy even for Saturday afternoon. It's easy to find park & ride on Google maps, takes you straight there. Had best day. Fabulous time had by all family.
It's always a pleasure to visit the Hall for Cornwall in Truro. A wonderful venue to stage some amazing plays, musicals and more. Check their website for upcoming events. I have to make a special mention for the unpaid volunteer ushers, on whom, the theatre depends. Well done ladies and gents!
We saw LaVoix here. It was a great show and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They took me from the entrance to the wheelchair space. The view was perfect. Its a wonderful venue.
Gold star to Ben from the access team for providing such helpful information on the phone & in person when I went to view the wheelchair spaces available, nothing was too much trouble. Booking is available online, in person & over the phone. The website offers wheelchair space dimensions for each seat space, which for someone like me (arctic lorry length) is much appreciated.
The building itself clearly benefited from feedback from the disabled community. Large, open spaces in corridors & the cafe. Personally I would have liked to see more disabled spaces available, especially near the front of the stage, especially as this venue holds music events where the public could stand, totally blocking the view.
The changing places toilet isn't the largest, but it does get plenty of green ticks for keeping the hoist fully charged, red cord hanging to ground level etc. If you like audio description with your toileting, you are in luck!
My only other feedback would be to add the lift dimensions, although then Ben & I wouldn't have had such a lovely chat, who made me feel very welcome ;)

Truro Cathedral is a stunning Victorian Gothic Revival Church located in the heart of Truro, Cornwall. It was constructed in 1880 and is the only cathedral built in the UK after St Paul's in London. The cathedral boasts three spires, with the tallest reaching 250 meters high, making it one of just three cathedrals in the country to have this feature.
Very interesting and nice looking Cathedral in Truro centre. Well worth a visit and entrance is free. Nice little square with benches at the main entrance.

Fabulous cathedral, lovely stain glass, marble fonts, stunning ceilings & decor. Great display of tapestries depicting Genesis & how God created the world. Well worth a visit. Free to enter, but encouraged to make a donation.
Medieval Gothic might be preferable but for the County Town, the Victorian version works just fine. Some wonderful art treasures and connections with the past. It's the light which impresses and the private chapels. The 19th century glass is superb
Great experience at the weekend as the Cathedral had a silent disco. Three DJs light's and lazors. Also a bar for drinks. Fabulous evening. With a huge planet Mars suspended from the ceiling.
absolutely beautiful and fantastic cathedral not as big as so many in the UK however has a certain charm to it has all the usuall things you would expect no toilets disabled accessible beautiful vicar and a lovely volunteers that help the cathedral run keep up the good work
The Cathedral is great, although our visit was somewhat spoilt by the annual judges and solicitors etc awards night being set up in the main area. Loud sound check music and disco lights isn't what you expect in a church.
Beautiful cathedral, well worth visiting if you have the time.
This cathedral is a beautiful place to visit
I visited Truro Cathedral with my family this summer and was amazed by its stunning Gothic Revival architecture. The intricate stained-glass windows and tall spires created a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The interior was beautifully maintained, and the staff were welcoming and informative. We enjoyed the quiet reflection time and the lovely surrounding area. A truly memorable visit and a must-see landmark in Cornwall.

The staff are very friendly, providing helpful tips on cooking authentic Chinese dishes at home. Additionally, they offer lunchtime specials from a diverse menu at an affordable price.
Working in the area and just visited this restaurant for the first time. Food was perfect and staff were lovely. There was no fancy decor, just great food. I travel around a lot for work and this was one of the tastiest and friendliest Chinese restaurants I have been to. One of us is a vegetarian and was happily surprised by how good the tofu was.
Tra M — Google review
I ordered a takeaway, and this is by far THE WORST Chinese I have ever had. I had sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken fried rice, pancake roll and prawn crackers. The food was tasteless except for the taste of months possibly years old oil that the chicken balls had been fried in along with the pancake roll and prawn crackers which were a shade of brown which tells me the oil has not been changed in a very long time, the sweet and sour sauce was neither it was just bland. The greasy film that the food left in my mouth was so disgusting I could not eat it. I would not recommend this restaurant £20 wasted, I’ve had better Chinese ready meals from the supermarkets for less!! DREADFUL 🤮
One of the best Chinese meals we’ve ever had. This restaurant has a great vibe, it’s relaxed and authentic, and the staff were really lovely and genuine. All the food was fresh and hot, and tasted amazing. The restaurant and cutlery were clean too. Would highly recommend!
The service initially was great, until we received PINK chicken skewers as our starter. My mate ate some without realising it was pink, once he realised we were totally put off. We then were each given chicken chow mein as our main meal like we ordered however we did not feel like eating it after being served the pink skewers. To add to this, instead of refunding the whole meal, or at least everything other than the drinks, they still made us pay despite putting us totally off our food. When we reported the pink dish to the lady working there, she tried convincing us it was supposed to look like that meaning we could’ve eaten more, obviously we didn’t but she still told us it was ok to eat despite it being pink. Finally, they didn’t even apologise to us, they just blankly stared at us and argued with eachother.
Decent Chinese, was not disappointed. Best one we’ve had in a while. Staff were very friendly, but a little slow. The restaurant did fill quite quickly from opening, though. Reckon they could use another server or two. Overall, a fairly good experience.
Quick service. Good range of great value lunchtime specials food. Starter and main tor £10.50. Coffee £2.50.
We had what i can only describe as the best chinese meal we have ever had in a sit down restaurant. It was a busy Saturday evening, and yet all the food came out hot and so delicious. The standout dish of all of the food was the barbecue ribs, they were juicy succulent, and the meat (which was more than plentiful) just fell off the bone. A definetely must for anyone in the area.
Not only was the food amazing, the service was good the people were very friendly and i had an amazing time with my family there.
Contrasting the basic decour, the food in there was flawless, the starters were all served quickly and were absoloutly delicious, the vegetable roll (alongside a sweet chilli sause) was crispy and full of flavour.
My main was the egg fried rice and the sweet an dour chicken,
The chicken, glased in a sweet and sour sause had a ritch flavour, the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, whilst the egg fried rice, to no suprise, was stunning,
I would definitly come here again and it beats the takeaways from some other chineese resturaunts.

Some of the best pancakes I’ve ever eaten! Tried the frittata and smokey beans which was also delicious. Freshly squeezed orange juice also very nice. A good range of options for little ones. They were very accommodating to us with our toddler and staff were kind and courteous. Highly recommend. We will be back soon!

A sunny spring day and a delicious stack of pancakes. Served by a friendly waitress who was happy to help. There’s not much more to say, very reasonably priced and I’d highly recommend.
I would suggest booking as their seating is limited, however we managed to slip in without a booking and got lucky.
The place is beautiful! We ate the best pancakes we have ever had… the flavour combination is unbelievable (we had the yoghurt - granola and compote ones, and the apple and honeycomb ones- with bacon added on the side 😋). I had mine gluten free and you couldn’t taste the difference between them and normal ones 😱.
The girls looking after us were super sweet and very helpful.
Overall an amazing experience, we really enjoyed it… sadly I forgot to take pictures of the food when it came because it all looked so good we went straight in!!! But here are a few photos we took when we came in and when we left. We will be 100% back next time we are in Cornwall.
We stopped here on our visit to Truro for a quick lunch and we really liked it. They have a small cafe which serves mostly drinks and breakfast, and a take away and lunch shop on the opposite side of the street. We had lunch at the latter, and we enjoyed warm and tasty sandwich and sausage roll, as well as a salad. The man who served us was very welcoming. Very recommended for a lunch at Truro.
Came down from London for a Cornish weekend getaway and couldn’t have been happier with this cafe. Absolutely delicious pastries - the apple pork sausage was a melt-in-the-mouth. So filling and perfectly priced. Coffee was great. If you want to sit down on a weekend recommend booking as there’s not too much seating.
Had a really lovely experience at Bread and Butter! The atmosphere was great, with nice outdoor seating that made it a perfect spot to relax. The staff were super friendly and provided quick, efficient service. I ordered the ham and cheese toastie and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crisp. Definitely a great little spot, I’ll be back for sure!
We've had a very delicious lunch at bread and butter. We've wanted something light including salad and we've found a perfect spot! Very cosy quirky place, well worth eating at.
We used to love coming to Bread and Butter in the little cafe across the street. So we decided to check out the small cafe across the street.
OMG sorry, but won't be coming again! £26.80 for 2 sandwiches and 2 very small cups of tea.
On the menu board the prices are displayed...BUT in very small letters right at the bottom it states eat in prices will vary. Hmm not good enough, won't be back!

Fantastic service.
Fabulous food.
Wonderful service.
The reception we got on arrival is beyond compare. The room is spacious, clean, and well-appointed.
We popped into the restaurant early on a Saturday night, and they were able to squeeze us in, we had the steak sizzlers, so tasty and filling, all the staff we friendly and accommodating.
Great for theatre dinner, quick service and generally very good food n drink (just the odd part of one dish and one cocktail that wasn’t perfect). Even got 10% off for having theatre tickets. Attentive staff
Beautiful food, nice presentation. Easy menu. early evening menu includes a free drink either wine, soft drink or beer for £21.95. Nice central location car parks close by
Had this fish of the day and asian noodles,
Holly our server was super helpful and service was speedy. gave some lovely recommendations
We ate from the market menu and I had a delicious roast beef followed by elderflower and blackcurrant sorbet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it.
Ate there again today and had the lamb special which was also delicious. I highly recommend eating here.
Took our Dad to Manning's for his 80th last Saturday night and wasn't disappointed. Wow. Absolutely stunning restaurant at this hotel. The food was outstanding. If I could afford to eat here each week I would. Haha. Friendly funny staff made us feel at home and kept the drinks coming. Right in the centre of Truro Cornwall this place can't be missed.
This place is totally awesome best steak ive had in a very long time perfect place for all, not kidding loved ever bit of the steak I had beautifully presented perfectly cooked to request as well as daaaaam tasty well done thank you for a great experience and the amazing dinner 😀

Nepalese restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Truro, Kathmandu Palace is a family-run restaurant known for its warm hospitality and healthy cuisine. The Himalayan-inspired decor sets the stage for a dining experience featuring Nepalese curries and Indian favorites. Despite its slightly higher prices, the wide variety of quality food and friendly service make it a local favorite. The restaurant's subtle and refreshing Nepalese flavors, combined with its old-school Indian restaurant ambiance, create an authentic dining atmosphere.
Excellent 👌🏾
The staff were very warm and friendly. Always checking on clients to make sure they are well taken care of.
The food was superb; the portions were just right and the quality was top notch.
The environment was very neat and tidy with nice aromatic flavour. I would recommend this place anytime.

We were visiting Truro for the weekend and stumbled across this gem of a Nepalese restaurant. The food was packed with flavour — beautifully spiced but not overpowering. I had the chicken momo to start, which were incredible — soft dumplings with a rich tomato chutney that had just the right amount of heat. For mains, I went with the lamb bhuteko, and it was honestly one of the tastiest dishes I’ve had in a long time.
Service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the food and the experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, and everything felt very clean and well-kept.
It’s not often you find Nepalese cuisine this well-executed outside of a big city — Kathmandu Palace is a real credit to Truro. Highly recommend booking ahead on weekends; it was pretty busy (a good sign!).
Will definitely return next time we’re in Cornwall.
Really like Nepalese food so opted for a takeaway on our first night in Truro - mainly based on the reviews.
We weren’t disappointed! Arrived 15 minutes before they opened, but really friendly staff still opened the restaurant early to allow my wife to order our takeaway (which we asked to be ready for an hour later as I wanted to go for a pint). Ready on our return, the food was excellent - and different (in a nice way) from Nepalese I’ve had before.
So good, we had a second takeaway later on our trip. This was just as good as our first.
Highly recommended.
Tasty food, friendly staff and a welcoming place. I had the Chicken Nepal (great flavours), and tried Keema Rice, Chilli Paneer and Onion Bhaji's. The Kathmandu beer (on draught) is recommended too. All of the food was very good, and in general good portions; my only constructive feedback would be that £4.95 for just 2 onion Bhaji's was surprising, as most places you get at least 3 of 4, other than that though, good value for money. The staff where welcoming, friendly and attentive. All in all a great experience, thank you!
Kathmandu Palace is our treat place. We always come here when we are celebrating or just needing a well earned treat. We always leave with smiles on our faces and full bellies. The food is beyond delicious. It is so fresh and the flavours are amazing.
We are always welcomed like old friends (despite the hay in our hair 😁 ) The atmosphere is always happy and busy, it's so relaxed and fun in here.
Cannot recommend enough! If you are planning to dine in, book!
Came here as a last resort when everywhere in St Ives was chocca and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. We got paneer makhana, aloo ghobi, veggie momos, and a veggie biryani. Everything was really excellent with friendly service to boot.
The food was very good. Good amount of flavour which tasted authentic with good spices. Would highly recommend the tandoori fish and mixed vegetable starter great flavour and the fish melted in your mouth. For main I got the Kathmandu special and this was very good, with a mixture of very well cooked meat and good spices. Highly recommended. Couple things that would make it a 5 star is more condiments with the popadoms and more meat in my main.
Absolutely lovely.
Every plate cleared, and I think we might have eaten a tad too much.
Gorgeous subtle flavours, good service, reasonable cost
I can see why it's in the top ten "Indian" restaurants in the country.

For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Boscawen Park, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Truro Bowl. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

One of the best parks I've been to. Clean & loads of swings etc for kids. 2 full size football pitches with nets up & tennis courts. Changing rooms available & a lovely cafe aswell. And the view is amazing! Feels like you're abroad, not in the UK

I visited Boscawen Park with my son and we had such a lovely time. The play area is excellent for children with plenty of space to run around and explore, and it felt really safe. We stopped at the café afterwards, which was welcoming and had a good selection of ice creams. The pond nearby was stunning too. So many benches with a wide variety of ducks. A truly peaceful spot to sit for a while. The whole park is well kept, friendly and a great place for families.
The biggest drawback to this park is the sewage treatment plant just across the river which wafts it’s fragrance across the park to varying degrees throughout the day, as you may imagine this is not conducive to picnics or al fresco dining.
There is a good view of the cathedral which is quite picturesque for a couple of hours around high tide when the river is full but the rest of the time it’s an expanse of slimy mud.
Good tennis courts which have to be pre booked a kids play park and toilets.
Parking free at time of writing but it will come as no surprise that the council propose to start charging next year (2026)
Nice park to walk around. Has table tennis, free water, free toilets, away from traffic. Some beautiful trees, they are building a sports building for the cricket and foot ball pitches this which could improve it further.
Fab park to take the kids to, even in the rain. The cafe is warm and welcoming, coffee is just what you need on any given day and the food is yummy too. Toilets are accessible which is a bonus.
Nice park, even has a disability swing. Beautiful, well kept duck pond over the road next to the cafe behind the park. Paths at the back lead up to a wood walk
I didn't think municipal parks with beautifully planted flower beds still existed, but they do - at least in Truro. Absolutely stunning displays of flowers and well-tended lawns. Delightful, and hats off to the gardeners!
Beautifully kept Park,and pond and interesting walk with picturesque views of the river then walking to the lovely Sunny Corner is always my favourite place to sit.

Located in Truro, Hooked! is a trendy seafood restaurant that offers a modern dining experience with a focus on locally sourced, seasonal seafood. The open-plan layout allows diners to observe the chefs at work as they prepare award-winning dishes. The menu features a variety of seafood options, including fish and chips, seafood curry, shellfish platters, and scallops. For those who prefer non-seafood options, there are plenty of choices available on the tapas menu.
I walked in during dinner time, and although there were no available tables, the staff kindly offered me a seat at the bar table. I ordered scallops, mussels, and king tiger prawns as starters—all of which were fresh and delicious. For the mains, I had the mushroom truffle pasta and the fish of the day, which was John Dory. The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommend!

Hooked: A Welcome Return and Delightful Dining Experience
We recently revisited Hooked after a few years, and we were pleasantly surprised by the changes! The interior has been redesigned, with the open kitchen relocated to expand seating capacity. Despite the changes, the staff remain as helpful and welcoming as ever. We were particularly grateful to see the addition of a ramp at the entrance and an easily accessible disabled toilet, which was very helpful as my wife recently had foot surgery.
For starters, we both enjoyed the delicious mussels. Hooked was incredibly accommodating, preparing my wife's portion with a dairy-free sauce due to her intolerance, and it was still absolutely delightful.
Our main courses were the fish curry and the shellfish platter for one. Both dishes were lovely, and the shellfish platter offered a generously sized portion. My only minor quibble was the slight messiness of de-shelling the large prawns. The bread served with our meal was light and tasty, though we found the sea salt a little too prominent for our preference.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal, and we found the prices to be reasonable. It's also worth noting that Cornwall Pard cardholders receive a 15% discount.
Thank you, Hooked, for a wonderful dining experience!
.
Come here for the seafood platter! Fresh and tasty seafood, and well worth the price tag. Also loved the crispy light haddock and chips - those chips were fried to perfection, and stayed crunchy until the end.
Service was also really friendly.
We had a very lovely dinner here. The food was tasty and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The highlight for us was finding Hake Kiev on the menu – as Ukrainians, it was such a joy to enjoy this dish away from home, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place!
Beautifully cooked fresh fish and mussels with a selection of fabulous local wines.
What a delightful fish restaurant, I only wish I could have brought my wife and friends.
For starters I had the St Austell Bay mussels for starters which were beautifully smooth and silky in a lovely white wine sauce. And I couldn't resist saving the bread to mop up some of the left over sauce.
For mains I had the catch of the day which was pan fried plaice with steamed vegetables and lyonnaise potatoes. The plaice was perfectly cooked - soft, moist & very easy to take off the bone, with a nice gentle amount of seasoning. One of the highlights for me was the addition of samphire, I love it's crunchy texture and slight saltiness. I paired all of this with a glass of the Knightor Trevinnion, a wine from Cornwall which did not disappoint with its soft fruit flavours. And finally, the staff were lovely - appropriately attentive and appreciative of me being a solo diner. Thank you. Ps if you've read this far then stop and just book it now.
The food was fantastic. Loved everything we tried. Would recommend booking as we turned up for dinner without booking and they didn't have space for us so we had to come back an hour later.
We visited Hooked for a pre theatre meal while in Truro and were very impressed. Loved the decor and the atmosphere in the restaurant and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, it has a great vibe. The food was so tasty, I had the Hake Kiev which was really good and tasted so fresh. Overall a great experience and will definitely be returning.
Absolutely fabulous meal this evening. Great service, terrific food and wonderful ambience. The wine was top-notch and all-in-all great value for money. Will be back!!

A very good Pannier Market in the middle of Truro. Lots of stalls with shops around the outside. A good variety of goods on sale too. Nice one!
It was ok but wouldn't rush back. One of the vendors was quite rude to me and snatched my money out of my hand.
The first time we visited Truro. It was life city with many different shops and big market. The pannier market it was big and it has more different part as shops like bakery, butcher, toys and .... outside the pannier market it was Saturday and Wednesday local Market with many local shops which sells homemade and local products. It was great.🤗
Bought several items. Good selection of goods
Lovely Cornish market where you can get a wide variety of household and personal items.
Friendly set of traders who will go out of their way to make someone feel welcome.
A true reflection of the openness and great reception the people of Cornwall have to offer.
Quirky market with some diverse stalls, as well as the normal ones, worth a wander.

Incredible place run by the most wonderful people. Food is absolutely delicious with something to suit everyone - from fresh and vibrant to warming and indulgent. I'm not vegan but have always loved the food here. Highly recommend - you will be very well fed and looked after, plus the interior/garden is stunning. Perfect for a cosy hot choc or a summers evening under the stars.

What a wonderful little gem in Truro. A very nice selection for vegans, gluten free, and it is very well priced, should be more expensive than it is!
The restaurant itself is very clean and has a lot of space as well.
Its LGBTQ+ friendly, and even better that they accept dogs as well!
I should also mention the staff that served us (7/12/2024) was super friendly and helpful. Thank you.
I couldn't rave about this place more! The food, the decor, the atmosphere, and the staff were all incredible. Not to mention very very reasonably priced considering it being in the heart of truro.
I've been itching to try a meal here for years and finally made it to which it did not disappoint. We came at lunch time so there was a smaller menu than in the evening, but still with more than pleanty to tempt anyone. Both my partner and I were blown away not only with the taste of the food but also the quality of the ingredients, the presentation, the quantity, even the crockery was lovely.
Additionally, we were made to feel so incredibly welcome and looked after, the staff were an excellent testament to the cornish vegan. They were friendly, attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, warm, and speedy though at no point did we feel rushed.
I wish I could come regularly as I not only wanted to try everything on the menu, but would love to give the cornish vegan the patronage it deserves.
Went for dinner with family and had the carbonara, hash browns, burger and the stir fry. Food was absolutely amazing, good portions for prices, tasty and very filling. It was our first time trying proper vegan food and we were definitely pleasantly surprised. Service was brilliant, super friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit.
We had a wonderful meal here - it's a proper powerhouse for all things plant based so a real treat for vegans but at the same time, as it has such a wide range of dishes on the menu, it's also the perfect place to bring anybody who is just interested in trying some new flavours and ingredients.
You'll find something to tempt you on the menu no matter who you are. Options span the range from a decadently delicious double stacked tower of vegan pastrami with smoked cheese, roasted red peppers, baby spinach and microgreens finished with sriracha mayo, to the Lunch Bowl bursting with colourful goodness and featuring sweet chilli tofu, lemon and dill marinaded carrots with homemade houmous alongside a range of epic vegetables and topped with a wasabi mayo dressing. The puds were seriously good too!
The venue was relaxed and inviting, the team were super friendly and the food was 1st class. This one comes highly recommended as one of Cornwall's finest spots to indulge in original, delicious flavours and try some top notch plant based culinary magic first hand.
Great vegan restaurant that even the meat eaters enjoyed! One even said it was there favourite meal of our holiday! We are a group of 6 so booked ahead for a table and they were lovely on the phone to help accommodate us. Service was good and the food was great! As a vegan it was brilliant to have the choice of the entire menu! I went with the pasta of the day, which was mac and cheese and it was lovely. Two of the meat eater went for the chicken burger and loved it. Also another member who really enjoyed their had the mushroom fusion. Also a shout out for the gravy too. Everything was lovely, would recommend for all not just vegans.
Four different meals ordered, and all were absolutely delicious ! My wife is vegetarian so she just adored it, I’m a meat eater but it just doesn’t matter when food tastes as fantastic as this does ! Great service, price was surprisingly low, and even my trusty four- legged friend was brought a water bowl and a doggy biscuit on his own plate ! My daughter and her partner were extremely impressed and will return to the restaurant as they live locally.
A big ‘thank you’ to all involved at The Cornish Vegan 👏🏼
As a non vegan - I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Who knew tofu could be so delicious. All the food was so filling too, we actually struggled to finish!
The staff were so welcoming and lovely and it's a really cute place. Definitely recommend for a nice get together.
The basket of feminine hygiene products in the bathroom was a really thoughtful little touch.

Truro Bowl is a charming and classic bowling alley with a friendly and helpful staff. The place may seem a bit dated, but it offers clean facilities and reasonably priced food. While the arcade might not be the main attraction, the overall experience is enjoyable. Visitors can expect some issues with the bowling lanes, but despite that, they are likely to have great fun and would consider returning for another visit.
One of the best, if not the best, bowling alley in Cornwall. The lanes are well kept and oiled and the balls are in good condition.
Drinks are well priced, staff are friendly and approachable.
Went here last weekend with my partner for the first time, had 2 games for a decent price. Our only issue was the small amount of seating at the lanes, with 2 large groups next to us there was no seating for us but wasn't too much of an issue.
Overall Truro Bowl is a lovely spot to knock down some pins and spend time with friends and family.
They also have, air hockey, pool, bar machines and a classic Outrun 2 game which is pretty cool!
Responding to other reviews, The facilities are a little bit rough but they are clean and usable. The decor is dated but I find this gives the place some charm!
Will be going here more!

Lovely time and helpfull staff! Very accomodating for disabilitys and wheelchair users
It was alright, nothing special. We went for a work do, I asked for a cheese burger with no bun, got a cheese burger with a bun 🙄. A couple of my colleagues couldnt eat their food, one was under cooked, the other was a veggie burger and she didnt managed one bite before giving it away to someone else. It's more of an activity place than a food place though, so cant expect much. Bowling was fun for everyone.
Have been going since I was a young kid, was one of my favourite places but I can see this is slowly falling apart due to the construction outside and not much have changed inside within a decade of going. The prices are reasonable, excellent staff service and the food is standard, would suggest better options for fussy eaters though. One of the very few good social places left in Truro for people to hang out at, need more.
Simple bowling alley we had a great time there :)
Staff helpful, friendly and welcoming. Food not available until 4pm which we didn't realise. Great value, enjoyable afternoon. Parking opposite Pay and Display.
Loved it! Great night and brilliant for the kids too. Highly recommend.
Brilliant night out, clean and friendly environment. Staff were very helpful and good fun. This place is Great for families, friends works outings. Offers a good range of pub grub and bar snacks and bar is well stocked. Reasonably priced, we will be back!

I had the vegan breakfast, it was super tasty and way nicer than I had anticipated.
Definitely coming back!
Cakes and coffee too
Oat milk is available though not on their menu
The food is amazing and service was great. Can't wait to go back. Everything we tried was really good.
Visited Archie browns today to buy some vitamins and get some advice, the first lady i spoke to was very helpful and polite, but was unable to help with my question as she was only a couple of days into her employment so all good so far, I then spoke with girl who also worked there, after a small discussion, I was told this wasn't the shop for me as I didn't need it to be vegan product, even though i have been going there for quite sometime so I went to Holland and Barrett where all can go, got treated great and got the same products and more for far more cheaper than Archie browns,
So sorry to hear the sad news about the amazing, adorable and quirky Maximus (my name for him). A pleasure and a joy to meet such a fine fellow. Thinking of you Christie ✨️😘
Great choice of healthy products, organic vegetables and fruits. Wide range of homeopathic products and cosmetic cruelty free.
Unfortunately, the lovely and tasty bistro was closed and never re opened again. The place looks rather deserted with it.
Would be nice to have the tasty lunches back

Subway is a chain of sandwich shops that specializes in build-your-own sandwiches and salads. The chain has a health-conscious option for those who want to make sure they are eating healthy.
The food is always like a standard Subway deliciousness, nothing wrong with this store’s food. It’s just the staff and the manager Andrew alone who are always making the experience unsettling and disappointing. Some training could be done to improve customer experience.
Recent photo of a window being smashed not long after the new store opened, what a shame on both the criminal offender(s) and staff.

Food is usually ok, slightly stingy on the salad. Male manager is always so rude and tries to upsell at every opportunity. Ginger girl is also very rude, seems like she doesn’t want to be there and is very demanding. I don’t enjoy going into this store and avoid it. This store needs better training or potentially different staff.
For us, we got standard subway quality food, but clearly for others the experience was not up to par. At least three people came back because of missing items or pure stinginess (one guy saying he only got one slice of chicken in a foot long). The staff got through orders very slowly creating a very long queue. The guy in there seemed to be quite nice, but was constantly trying to upsell. The woman with ginger hair at the till on the other hand was extremely blunt and rude to customers. When we received cups with no lids or straws whatsoever, my daughter went to ask for some (bearing in mind they were clearly there behind the woman). She was met with a rude and blunt response of “We don’t want to give them out anymore; you know that we’re trying to save the environment, don’t you?!” Honestly sounded like she just couldn’t be asked. Also, during payment she was continuously blunt and half shouted at us NO REFILLS when we weren’t planning to anyway. Would not recommend visiting.
GET RID OF CHELSEA. Extremely rude member of staff. Telling the customers they’re saying things wrong. Clearly hates her job. If you care about your business you’ll get rid of her. I was going to walk out before paying but felt for Andrew who was polite and was having to deal with her attitude also. Customers nearby were also astonished by her rudeness. Wont be returning until shes gone
Standard subway sandwich, if that. Manager is unwelcoming and very attitudy every time i come in, which is now not often. Very little salad on the sandwich. If you ask for more, you’ll be told what the ‘standard’ amount is. I’d rather be told i will be charged more to get what i want than have a lesson on how to make a standard subway sandwich.
In the past i have asked for my sandwich to be wrapped twice as it would be sat in my bag whilst travelling home, which was refused as he’s ’not allowed’ to use more than one piece. I get stock count, but come on.
The manager just seems extremely anal about everything, which, along with the attitude, comes across unwelcoming.
First time in the new store today to grab a sandwich with my two daughters. It was total disorganised chaos and the entire place was absolutely filthy.. I didn’t realise until I sat down the tables, floor and highchair looked like they’d never been cleaned and sandwiches not great either.. threemilestone store is miles better. Won’t be returning.
Have been 2nd time to the new subway which got shifted opposite M&S
The lady at the counter was so rude who made my sandwich :( Literally threw the bread when I was unable to explain her in once what I wanted
Food is tasty but that lady is very rude!!
Worst customer service
Staff were so rude. They couldn’t crack a smile for any customers. Chloe lady who wears a bandana was extremely rude. To busy chatting and flirting with the other male staff

Avoid. Unacceptably bad and not for the first time. Both my visits have been poor.
Two meals from a party of 6 had to be rejected as they were of such a low standard they actually unpleasant to eat.
I tasted my mums Seasonal Carbonara and she was correct - I was unpleasant.
And for the second time in three years, the Linguine con Frutti Di Mare was terrible - a super poor tomato sauce with no trace of seafood stock and very little seafood.
To their credit, the manager was quick to remove the cost of these items from the bill. But that’s not the point.
I could do better myself and won’t be going again. The sad thing is they get away with it while food of a very high standard is widely available in Italy at a similar price, even in tourist areas.
Food - Below average, very sad as this was our first time coming here, we were really excited, and VERY disappointed. Also VERY expensive for something you could get a Pizza Hut or likewise for cheaper.
Service - Service was INCREDIBLY slow, and when food arrived waitress and waiter had to double check what order they were actually carrying in their hands. And we were made to feed VERY uncomfortable.
Atmosphere - We were made to feel like we were in the wrong. It was EXTREMELY loud and could hardly hear what the people were saying opposite. When it came to pay, I showed my blue light discount for 30% off food, he said he couldn’t accept it. And made up 3 excuses even though all the Ts&Cs were met. He was especially rude to my partner who actually walked out the restaurant as I was paying.
If I could give a 0 start rating for atmosphere I would.
WE WONT BE RETURNING.
Very pleasant meal with my partner and 2 young kids. The kids' portion was good. My vegan pizza was really nice, and the vegan dessert was VERY good 👍
Perfect for pre theatre dinner, about 2 mins walk from Hall for Cornwall. The decor is thoughtful and interesting, the service was quick and efficient whilst not being overbearing. The menu has everything you'd expect in a good Italian restaurant, although we weren't very adventurous with our carbinara and spag bol....both excellent. There were some nice touches like the complimentary real lemonade shots to start. I also loved the mini dessert plus coffee option, perfect if you just want a little something sweet. Highly recommend.
Fair play to these guys. Came in mid week, packed out till 7 due to theatre bookings, only three staff in. Yes it was busy, yes tables were covered in glasses as they frantically tried to catch up, but they worked their asses off to deliver service and food, unaffected by how busy it was. All three deserve commendations for working so hard.
The food was hot, and very tasty. The staff member was very helpful and polite, and did really well to keep up with the growing room of customers. We enjoyed it the first time, so we went back again. I had the Burrata and Pancetta Carbonara and the Chocolate Etna ( Dark chocolate dome, with a warm toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream ). Very delicious 😋
Great food as always. Service a little slow on this occasion but they were very busy! The staff are very vigilant when it comes to allergies. They have a folder to check against all the potential ingredients which people may be allergic to and your meal comes with a sticker to say it has been made with your allergy in mind.

Fish and chips takeaway
Sole Plaice, a beloved chippie in Truro, has been serving satisfied customers since 1980. Whether you opt for takeaway or dine in their cozy restaurant, you can expect friendly service with a smile. The menu is simple and fairly priced, offering classic fish and chips that are highly praised by locals. While the food is delicious, some have noted minor issues with greasiness and closing time discrepancies.
Great fish and chips. Freshly cooked, big portions and fair priced. Sat in the restaurant with plenty of space and a nice atmosphere. Definitely would recommend

Great fish and chips, reasonably priced.
Would defo recommend them for eating in or takeaway.
P.s my daughter loved the mermaid theme. 🧜♀️
Best fish and chips i have eaten for a long time. Batter was crispy, large piece of fish and chips, great value for money. Service was quick and polite. Well recommend to visit if in truro.
Kind people and always happy defo my new place .....banter pea fritters sounlds mad but nice maybe 🤔 they will add some more battered stuff like spam fritters.....😁
Ordered 2 lots of small cod and chips, very generous portions! Cod was lovely. Also ordered the chicken nuggets and they went down a treat
Great fish and chips and curry sauce. Freshly cooked, big portions and fairly priced too sat outside definitely would recommend if I ever get chance to visit Truro again I definitely would come back here
Don't listen to these 1 star phonys, we were served today and everything was great from the food to the service.
Anyone who clearly puts a 1 star on this place either has nothing better to do in their sad little lives - or they genuinely caught them on a (extremely rare) bad day.
Visit this place, both locals and visitors reccomend it, which I now also will reccomend next time someone is visit Truro!
Once again the best fish and chips I've had on holiday, we come to Cornwall every year, this place is a gem , will come again next year 👍

Victoria Gardens is a lovely outdoor space in Truro, perfect for a leisurely stroll or simply enjoying the natural beauty. The gardens feature an array of trees and plants, with summer flower displays adding vibrant colors to the surroundings. Visitors can also find seating areas, including some undercover spots, making it ideal for relaxation. A notable highlight is the wildflower plot that attracts plenty of bees, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Lovely small park and gardens.
No play equipment but grassed areas, numerous benches and a bandstand where there are sunday afternoon free concerts in the summer. There is a coffee and snack hut on site. Poor toilet facilities. Very little parking available except for on Sundays, when you can park on the roadside.

Nice walk around the gardens today. Stopped off at Pollen Café for a nice cup of tea. Lovely.
A very pleasant stroll through gardens that are well maintained. Lots of lovely blooming flowers so it's clear they're well kept. Toilets are quite rammy though so I'd go elsewhere if youre desperate!
Wow! Nestled close to the heart of Truro city centre is the beautiful garden! I only discovered it by accident, but if you have time, this is well worth a visit. Plenty of seating available, and a little cafe is in there too. When I'm next in Truro, I will be going back! I only had time to look at some of the paths, and I want to walk them all!
Fabulous park, grab a coffee from the "Pollen" cafe seasonal. Beautiful gardens just a minute or two from the shops
Love visiting the bandstand on a Sunday to hear a brass or silver band (for free) and sitting in the lovely gardens watching the bees whilst listening to lovely music and eating an ice cream from the Pollen tea rooms.
So pretty and there is a little place to get coffee. Couldn't find a toilet though.
A great place to relax and watch the trains go over the viaduct above.

Skatepark
Hendra Skate Park in Truro is a popular outdoor skate park suitable for skaters of all levels. It features a play area for younger kids and picnic tables nearby. The park is well-loved by locals and attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, creating a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. While some visitors note that the park has more steps than ramps, making it seem more suitable for adults, others appreciate the presence of big ledges and the overall epic vibe of the park.
Great park, had like stuff to go swoosh and woosh on, so I had much fun whooshing around
Christopher R — Google review
Nice big skate park with a park next door as well as Victoria Gardens near by. However I've never seen a skate park with so many steps.. there's more steps than ramps, so if its your kids first time there.. make sure they check where all the steps are as you can't tell its steps when you are approaching the steps as it looks like a ramp until the last minute, Seems more of an adult skate park
amazing skatepark for a cruise and some street tech. bad news if you're a transition skater as your only option is the mellow half pipe with the amazing extension section. hoping in the future changes can be made to the park as skateboarding has moved on from massive stairs, to flow based performance.
Best skate plaza in UK
Very good street plaza. Hope you like gaps because it's got lots of em
Took my newly skate-mad 9 yo here and we loved it. Clearly deeply beloved by locals. Everyone of every age and background here, to skate, scoot, slide and generally have fun. No agro just lovely people. Experienced skaters gently advising the 9yo on skills and giving them space while they also did their own thing. It was amazing.
Good concrete park with some Big ledges!
Was wet when we visited unfortunately
Whoever designed this place clearly had a fixation with skating stair sets. You can skate small steps, big steps, middle-sized steps, twin steps,triple steps, quad steps... you get the idea. Yes there is also a pretty nice half pipe and a few small flat banks but mainly steps: 5-steps, 6=steps... lots and lots of steps.

Whistlefish Truro is a charming shop that offers an extensive selection of cards and prints for various occasions. From kids' birthdays to milestone celebrations, Christmas, condolences, thank-yous, and more, they have it all. The store is known for its beautiful designs and environmentally friendly approach with their plastic-free Christmas cards. While some customers find the cushion collection lacking, the paintings are highly praised for their attractiveness.
I find the shop clean, attractive ad interesting.
It is good value with quality cards. I don't like the cushions much. However, the paintings are very attractive.
I wish they did not insist on you paying by card, they take no cash whatsoever.

Popped in to buy a Birthday card last week costing £2, and to be told ‘Sorry, we only accept card payments’.
Whistlefish - I decide when my banking cards come out of my wallet, not you. As a consequence you lost a sale and I will now be buying my Christmas cards elsewhere.. According to other reviews I am not the only dissatisfied customer in regards to card only payments. It felt quite discriminating.
Very helpful member of staff searched out a particular type of card.
Currently offering 12 cards for £10 so they are great value as well as being lovely.
Amazing cards, beautiful prints and designs for every occasion with empty inside so you can fill with your own words. Kids birthdays up to 12, teen birthdays up to 17, then all prominent birthdays eg; 18,21,30,40 etc. Everything is there literally birthdays, christmas, mourning deaths, thank you’s, holidays, mother’s day, grandmas great,anniversary, awesome uncle bla bla bla-bla-bla. Better, the christmas cards are now naked (aka plastic free) to save the environment. I buy ALL my cards for birthdays and christmas and one for my parents in July and even get a free tin I buy so many and that does me for the whole year! Great shop 👌😄
I am a loyal fan of this store. Love its products. Only thing that niggles is it's a card only payment ! Understand reasons why but just stops some purchases
Simply a delightful shop. Unique birthday and Christmas cards on sale, very different to main stream shops. Love it😍.
Nice items in store but the woman owner is pure evil, she moaned heavily at a staff member for wanting time off to go to a perants funeral ......she was heard saying "oh fine take time out but wheres the money coming from?"
Very pleasant nice selection of cards and pictures. Love popping in to stock up.

K C — Google review
The dude working that day really didn't want to be there and wasn't afraid to let people know. In all my years of customer service I have never come across someone who has no business being in a position of customer contact than this guy. Rude doesn't come into it. Complained of noisy children (spoiler, it was a children's party) only turned on a few machines(there were 12 of them) and then ridiculed a parent when she was trying to explain her child has sensory issues. Luckily the kids took no notice and had a good time but staff need more training. Maybe check your prices too, paying that much we would expect all machines to be switched on.
We took my son and a friend to Player Ready Truro for a birthday treat. They were both inexperienced with VR, but the member of staff explained everything in a really accessible way, and was so helpful and calm. He picked up on when they were getting stuck and would go to help them before they had the chance to get frustrated. He offered them water when they were getting hot (because it does get hot!) He made good game suggestions to them and even let them play on the Xbox when they wanted to take a break from wearing the headsets.
The venue was great, the equipment was great and the selection of games were great. (We paid for the arcade session.)
I didn’t catch the member of staff’s name. But he was working on Saturday 5th July in the afternoon. So big thanks to that guy!
We will definitely be back. My son absolutely loved it. Big parties with lots of people can be overwhelming for him, so we scaled back this year and we are so glad we did!
Thank you for having us.
Visited here while on holiday with the family during a bad weather day in Cornwall.
Kids absolutely loved it and the owner was a very knowledgeable and friendly guy, would definitely recommend a visit.
Absolutely awesome experience. We booked for 4 people to do a VR escape room as a birthday present for our nephew, and we had such a good time. The staff were really friendly and helpful, putting up with all my silly questions! The space is really cool, it's super easy to get to with parking across the road. The price for the session was really reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend checking out, and I'm sure I will be back again!
This place is fantastic! I took my daughter here for her birthday with her friends. They all loved it! They were especially good with my autistic son. Nothing to much trouble. We'll definitely be going back and will be recommending this place to everybody. Super super happy Birthday Girl.
Four of us went for my partners birthday. It was amazing. None of us had used vr headsets so that was new and we took part in racing and an escape room. Was great team work and Sam was exceptional very patient and very helpful. Not just for kids adults get involved.
Great fun thank you we will be returning very soon. Sorry Sam
We have been 3 times over the past 4 months (Oct 2022, Dec 2022 and Jan 2023) and my girls LOVE it! They have tried 2 escape rooms and 1 individual game session. Two have been organised birthday parties.
What makes the experiences 5 star is the manager on site (think he is called Sam?). He is a godsend!! He is SO patient and understanding. He would make an excellent teacher as he spoke to the children as individuals, consoled my girl who was in tears, tried a few things to make her feel better and generally an all round superstar. Player Ready should make sure they keep hold of Sam!

Uneeka Home is a vibrant and diverse store offering a wide range of unique gifts and special pieces that you might find hard to resist. The reasonably priced items make it even more appealing, and the welcoming café upstairs provides a perfect spot to unwind after a day of shopping. Whether you're looking for urban distressed furniture, reclaimed chairs, or eclectic light fittings, this place has it all. The staff is accommodating and helpful, providing great suggestions and solutions for your needs.
This is my first purchase with Uneeka and it certainly won't be my last.
I'm so pleased with my sideboard, which we fitted into the kitchen, staff and shop has such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, thank you so much, I'm sure we will be in to see you again at some point. Would highly recommend.

I have been coming to Uneeka on and off for years, I love the versatile styles of furniture and have pieces in my home (which always get to comments from friends!). The team are all so lovely smiley and helpful. I recently attended the Lampshade Making Workshop with my daughter - something totally new to me. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She was patient with everyone, ensuring that we all left with a lampshade we could be proud of! It was a fantastic experience, especially for a craft novice like me. We were thrilled to take home something so professionally made in just a few hours. We were also given a discount for Uneeka Café for a delicious lunch (my cherry on the cake!). I will definitely come to more workshops and continue to visit the uneeka stores.
Just can’t rate this lush little Cornish company highly enough. SAME DAY DELIVERY!!!-on a sofa I desperately needed to dress a house. Kaan the driver carried it in, set it up-just the nicest guy.
Lucia in the shop and Nicole are both so helpful and accommodating and had so many great suggestions and solutions for me.
The only downside is that I actually want everything in the shop 🤣🤪👌. Go there everyone it’s fantastic and they are so lovely to deal with.
The store was clean and tidy. The staff pleasant. We went in, in search of lighting. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. There were some interesting pieces of furniture and we would definitely visit again if we want something unusual.
Love this shop . We visit the shop few times a year picking up beautiful pieces for our holiday home . Gone in today to pick up several lamps and bedside tables . Will definitely recommend
Friendly team always happy to help. Lovely stuff too
I visited after seeing an advert in a local tourism guide. Fantastic selection of eclectic urban distressed furniture with post industrial look or pretty reclaimed chairs and light fittings. Some new, some reconditioned. A designers dream store!
If you want something a little different and unique this is a great place, including parking outside. The staff are helpful without being intrusive. Couldn't ask for better service from the very kind and considerate owner.

The Mockingbird Mimosa Lounge in Truro, England is a beautiful and intimate place to enjoy cocktails and delicious food. The service is wonderful, and they have a full bar that serves wine and beer. They also have private dining available, as well as wheelchair accessible seating.
Had a lovely evening here the other night. The service was so warm and welcoming , and the atmosphere was great. We had the tapas and cocktails/mocktails here and they were all delicious, reasonably priced and decent sizing and great options for veggies! We also loved the decor. Would definitely recommend and will return .
Jess N — Google review
Cute little café and lovely staff, but a very small service/prep area. It took an hour from us sitting down to actually getting our food. I think the seating area may be too big for the capacity the kitchen can produce. So if it's on the empty side, give it a try. However, if it's full maybe try somewhere else
Excellent food, drinks and friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating with quirky, welcoming decor and a good playlist.
Can't fault our experience of this place. Tucked away off the main street with indoor and outdoor seating (noted the basket of cosy blankets by the door for those who needed them). Cappuccino good, hot chocolate amazing and Victoria sponge, very fresh and deliciously served with fresh fruit and syrup. Service friendly and spot on, was quiet when we visited. Would highly recommend for a relaxing stop away from the main street.
Stopped for a coffee and cake. Lovely big cup of coffee and delicious cake at a reasonable price. Will definitely go back again to try their menu as the food looked really good.
Here are the pros and cons for our visit:
Pros :
Hot food and coffee
Friendly staff
Cons:
Took 40 mins to bring the breakfast out to us ( only 2 of us ). 10mins for coffee. 1/2 hour later breakfast was brought out. No other customers present.
Dirty place : Dust everywhere, dirty floor with a ball of hair rolling around. Table was grubby.
Toast that was served wasn’t even toasted at all. As if stuck under the grill to dry the bread then taken out.
No condiments offered.
Weak latte coffee, hot milk with the slightest beige colour. No coffee smell. Worst coffee I’ve ever had.
Overall I felt the breakfast was trying to be more than it should have been. Pretentious. No need for garlic mushrooms at breakfast.
Fantastic little find. If you are in Truro this is a must visit. Fantastic tapas menu and if you're not keen on tapas, plenty of interesting food to choose from. They also do an array of cocktails and quality beer's all reasonably priced. The staff are very polite and nothing is too much trouble. One of my favourite place's that I'm looking forward to visiting again. Thankyou.
Beautiful little find. Never been to Truro before so this was a great stop.
Great little place with outdoor and indoor seating. Staff very friendly and food is amazing. I had the nachos with chilli beef.

The Indian takeaway in Calenick Street is a popular choice for NHS workers who need food during lockdown, with friendly staff and delicious food. It also offers delivery, making it easy to get your hands on some delicious Indian cuisine.
Decided to give this place a try for the first time tonight. Ordered the special fusion kebab with chips, spicy wings, and the gourmet chicken burger. All of it was very good and tasty. The chicken was juicy and tender (both the burger and the wings), the fries were nice and crispy and kebab was fantastic, the meat was very good quality, the salad fresh and all very well seasoned with the spice mix.
Service was very good, the person I spoke to on the phone and also the delivery man was polite and friendly and the food arrived quicker than expected.
Mark — Google review
Friendly staff, COVID friendly as brought the food to the car. Great menu as there was a variety of items to order. Loved the rice but expected the curry to be better.
Absolutely appalled by the customer service with this restaurant. Ordered at 7.30pm on Just Eat, and had to wait for nearly an hour before we had any communication from anyone. The delivery driver called and told us that he had one more delivery, then would be with us. Nearly 2 hours after we ordered, we were still left waiting for the food. We phoned the restaurant to be rudely spoken to and have the phone put down on us. We turned the food away at this point, as waiting over 2 hours for food which google maps said was a 30 minute drive to us was a complete joke. Not only this, but when we received a phone call from a delivery driver, he informed us that the total would be an extra £7 due to how far away we were. We had no issue in paying this, but could've been something that the restaurant could've phoned us to say once we placed the order, not an hour afterwards. As avid curry lovers, we were keen to try this place. Our delivery earlier in the week was cancelled, but wanted to give them a second chance as the food looked delicious, and I can say we are gutted we did. Luckily we are holiday makers as I would not be ordering from this place again if I were a local.
Ordered food at 19:20 food finally arrived at 21:40. When I phoned the restaurant I was told, (very rudely) that our order should never have been accepted as we were too far away (maybe change your delivery area???). As for the food when it finally did arrive, the chips were cold and the rest of the food was Luke warm. The kebab was smothered in chilli sauce which there was no mention of at point or ordering which made it inedible. Over all bitterly disappointed and would advise people not to order from here.
My sister ordered a burger and chips. The burger was good but they forgot the chips. I ordered a Kashmiri chicken curry and garlic rice. It was the worst curry I have ever had. Couldn't eat it. Dry, tasteless chicken. Tasteless sauce with chunks of tinned pineapple in it, which is the closest it got to being Kasmiri. No nuts or dried fruits. Don't think the rice had had any garlic even waved over it. I don't normally write reviews about food places, but this one was surprising for all the wrong reasons!
First time ordering at Nazim and can only praise it very highly. Sufian and his staff very attentive and eager to serve. Great to be able to see the food being cooked while waiting in the comfy reception area. Food was totally awesome and this has to be one of the best Indian takeaways in Cornwall! Just the right level of spice and creaminess in the dishes we chose. This is now my new regular curry house and I will be back very soon.
a family member ordered food at 7.10 tonight took them 2 hours for the delivery to arrive. tried ringing with no answer I asked for no cheese on 2 of the chicken burgers as my partner has allergies on top of that the half of the order was wrong. the portion size was atrocious and the food was stone cold the fact they can't even read an order right and not give us no chilli sauce or coleslaw and also get 2 different types of meat wrong is beyond me I really suggest you stay away from this place the fact there delivering cold food I'm sure is against the law so will be contacting someone about this.
Excellent food! The best I've had in Truro for a very long time! The staff who take your order on the phone are polite, patient, friendly and helpful with suggestions. Mom and I are disabled so we've not been able to visit Nazim but have had food delivered 3 times now, the person who delivers is extremely friendly and always on time. The quality of the food is constantly excellent and we will be loyal customers.

Visitors can enjoy a warm welcome suitable for families, couples, and large parties.

Superb meal at Piero’s and very reasonable price! Staff were very attentive and happy to help (not sure about the bad reviews on this) everyone we had was pleasant 😊 Food was delicious, came out fast and was hot! We shared bread for a starter and for mains I had the Fettuccine Piero’s highly recommend. Prawns & aubergine in tomato sauce was only £13.90! Will definitely be back 👍🏻

Very difficult to fault. The pizza that I had was fantastic, the pasta that my other half had was fantastic. So much flavour in both! Reasonable value and great service! Will definitely be revisiting and a good chance that may become a regular thing!
This restaurant has always been on my must visit list every time I visit Cornwall on holiday.
The food us exquisite and great value and the atmosphere? You could be in Italy👍
Lovely food, especially the Mushroom and Asparagus risotto! Better than our usual Italian restaurant in Bristol. Great atmosphere too! Authentic. We will come again when we are next in Truro.
An exceptional dining experience on a bustling Friday evening, the service was remarkably quick from the moment we stepped in and the menu boasted an impressive array of classic Italian dishes.
The staff were very friendly and were able to accommodate us last minute, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
As I headed through the small alley way towards the door of Piero’s, I was immediately greeted by a nice Waiter who checked our reservation and seated us down. A kind waitress took our orders and the service was quick, I had the bolognaise spaghetti and it was truly delicious. It is worth mentioning that the Italian vibe was authentic and I could see a pizza chef preparing our pizza. However, I did notice how the tables were slightly sticky, which was a bit odd but hardly bothered me. The food is tasty 😋. Will come again.
Food was very nice. The penne funghi was very flavourful and was a good portion. The pizza was great with a very good base. My only complaint would be that my server was unenthusiastic and looked a bit done.
I have no idea how this place has so many five star reviews, I ate here once and would never go back. Service was average at best, decor shabby and the food was the worst I've ever had at any restaurant. The chefs are either not chefs or not Italian, as I cannot even begin to describe what they tried to pass off as a lasagne. Steer well clear.

Terrible experience. We ordered starters and waited over 30 minutes with no updates. When we asked, the waiter seemed indifferent and didn’t care. Only one starter arrived, even though we ordered two, and no plates or cutlery were provided. The main course was equally disappointing—terrible food quality. Overall, a complete disaster. Will never come back!
I would give this place zero stars if I could, I was looking for a place that can cater for vegetarian food without onion and garlic and they said they could. The pots came out with spring onion and they literally took them in and removed the onions from the top and while eating we found spring onions and they guy said might have been mixed and we also found hair in tofu and he said I can’t take responsibility as there might be do with tofu manufacturers. Appreciate after complain they didn’t charge us for hot pots. The drinks also had some black stuff in it. No wonder why this place was completely empty! At the same time the man was leaning in our seats making us feel uncomfortable and he was honestly really smelly. We saw one of the chefs poking her ear well! Although the food and service wasn’t the best, I could tell that the people were at least trying to be nice. NEVER COME HERE!!!!!
I came in and ate here with my family about a week ago, the service was good and the food was amazing! We eat here regularly and they are always so warm and welcoming. The food is always so delicious and what I believe to be the manager (a young lady) she is so polite and stopped to have a conversation with us, despite the restaurant being busy! We have been eating here for 3 years now and never had an issue, I think the negative reviews are very false, don’t always believe everything you see online !!
Would recommend this restaurant to anyone❤️
I got takeaway and received not very nice prawn crackers and the chips were soggy which is understandable because I'm 18 minutes away but the portion sizes were small and as someone that only eats chips and prawn crackers the portion was tiny and the prawn crackers weren't the best had oil spots on them and when I contacted them the person I spoke to on the phone was quite rude the only good service I had was from the delivery person as she was very friendly but the other people were quite defensively and argumentative and rude.
Wouldn't recommend going here.
100% would recommend.
I had the duck dumplings and the chicken noodles, my husband had the Mongolian lamb and curry noodle soup. The taste was spot on, and the portion sizes were very satisfying. The service provided was very friendly!!! Will be coming back!! ❤️❤️
We came here for lunch. As we stepped in we noticed that it was quite unkept for example, the floor was dirty and the seats were peeling. Service was pretty slow. The glasses were very dirty and the water was warm. The “crispy” squid was soft and oily. We also ordered the crispy duck which was dry and of poor quality. Also the plum sauce was extremely sweet. Overall a unsatisfactory experience hence the low rating.
I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews for this place. The business has a different name on the store front however, “Honogie”. Me and my girlfriend came here on a Sunday for lunch and we ordered the Korean bbq which was great value for the amount of meat we ate, they even offer extra meat for free over the set price if you manage to get through it all.
Everything had great flavour and great value, we also had a great chat with the owners who were genuinely lovely people. Would 100% come back again.
Was quite sad seeing it so empty on a Sunday, would recommend giving this a chance; especially the Korean bbq stuff
