Having moved to Cornwall 8 years ago, and only just getting to Tabb's is a mistake. Having rectified the mistake and visited last night I now realise how big this mistake was, but I won't be making it again. The COVID-19 based precautions that are being taken are sensible and should give confidence to all planning a visit, an email before we arrived, telling us what we can expect and what we should do was a great touch.The welcome itself was lovely and warm and at no point were we rushed or made to feel anything but welcome. Excellent!The food, well, it was excellent. The pre-starter soup shot was amazing, the scallops to start were cooked perfectly and served on a delicious slice of local drakes pudding, the duck breast was full of flavour and cooked perfectly with a delicious beetroot stir-fry, the accompanying veg great, the cheesecake dessert was so light and delicious and the wine selection was very good.We were extremely full, content and happy after a really clever and well executed meal and enjoyable experience.I have found my new favourite restaurant, and will not be waiting anywhere near the 8 years it took me to book up before returning. Thank you Nigel and Debbie.
The first mouthful reminds you why you love Nigel Tabb’s cooking. After months of no restaurants, we really needed this. My John Dory starter and my wife’s soup were both excellent. We then had the duck to follow. The wines by the glass meant that I could choose something to complement each course. The service was excellent as always and, in keeping with the times, the COVID-19 precautions were all in place. We felt perfectly safe without the measures intruding on our enjoyment on the meal. Booking is absolutely essential.
Just had a lovely 2 courses of delicious food at Tabb’s. The mushroom soup served before the starter was a lovely touch. We had the chowder and pilaff starters and both had the hake main (never had deep fried cauliflower before) all served with an excellent house recommended Pinot. The speed of service was just right for us. Loved it and we will definitely come back again when we return to Cornwall in Feb 2021.
Tried before to book but never had a space. Got in today. Excellent food and the service was spot on. Very attentive. Can’t wait to go again.
