Royal Standard

TRURO

South Cornwall

4/5

Based on 13 reviews

A Freehouse featuring a wide range of Cornish brews, lagers and ciders, this is a good ol' fashioned inn with no distracting TV or fruit machines, but they do have free superfast broadband! Bring your dog along for a traditional sunday roast and a spot of Euchre. During summer the legendary outside grill is fired up.

Ultra expensive

Just paying for the name of the hidden hut. Other places not too far away half the price for quality food

Excellent food

Had an evening meal at the Standard on our last night: Excellent food and service. A little expensive but worth it for the quality. Varied and comprehensive drinks available from the bar, everything served promptly by very attentive staff.

Very Welcoming

The opening of this pub is a welcome addition to our holiday! We had a meal here on our first night, delicious food and friendly service. Very dog friendly too. We look forward to the garden area being open, it will be a fabulous addition!

Now called The Standard

Taken over by the Stallards (the people behind the Hidden Hut). Food, service and atmosphere all excellent. Advise you book a table in advance as it’s popular. Thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous food and service

Visited the week the Standard Inn reopened and had a fabulous meal with great service. Restaurant in the garden until October, lovely atmosphere and food second to none!

Unwelcoming

Called in for a drink at lunchtime, it was totally empty, never a good sign!
The landlord seemed most disgruntled that he would have to serve me. Only 1 of 4 real ales available. Decided not to stay. Most unwelcoming pub I’ve been in for a long time. How it’s still open I have no idea!

Not great

Very poor ham egg and chips which was very expensive
.Two eggs a slither of ham and potato wedges without a hint of even a lettuce leaf. Obviously a bad choice

Disappointed

Mediocre food and uninterested staff. Menu looked good but the food was a real let down. Sausage egg and wedges turned out to be two very small sausages, and what appeared to be the frozen wedges that you can get in any supermarket. Nobody was interested in our feedback, we didn't hang around to sample the puddings!

Lovely traditional pub

We have been to The Royal Standard for meals several times and have never been disappointed.
Is a friendly, welcoming pub where you can enjoy a meal or just a drink, is also very dog friendly.

Royal Standard, Gerrans

A pub like they used to be, excellent food and drink, welcoming hosts and locals. Great to enjoy a meal, drink and chat without the distractions of gaming machines, TV or loud music.
