Very nice experience, one of the best places we have been to eat in England. Great value for money in the UK context! Professional service, they were very late but offered us a drink and then were efficient for each dish. Food was creative and tasty.

Now trialling a Sunday lunch menu which is  truly outstanding. Starters to share are Lobster croquette and Windy Ridge Farm Rump cap, the usual homemade breads with fresh cheese and the amazing Kota heritage tomatoes. All prepared to the usual high standards. Then a choice of roast beef (from Phillip Warren) or roast pork, with all the usual vegetables.  To follow are two shared desserts, a massive bread and butter pudding with soda bread ice cream and chocolate mouse with blackberry ice cream and fennel. Packed restaurant despite torrential rain, great atmosphere and attentive and friendly service.  Get in while you can, a lot of very high quality and very tasty food at £49.50 per head. Highly recommended

We have been meaning to eat at Kota restaurant for several years but never managed to get here before. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious; service, excellent. Lovely ambiance. Thank you for a lovely evening.  My particular favourite was the Sicilian tomato stuffed with crab, in a ponzu dressing. Flavours were amazing.

Outstanding food. We visited early evening in August 2020 and chose the six course taster menu with wine pairing. Every dish was fabulous from amuse bouche to blue cheese ice cream (yes that's correct and did it work well!)
Every course focusses on balance and flavour combinations, which work brilliantly.
We were in the restaurant for over 3.5 hours, not rushed at all. A very pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable evening.
If you are in Cornwall, England or actually the UK, go. It's fabulous. Well done Jude. Trying time's (particularly for you) handled very well.
