What Mr M TW doesn't like about Tolcarne Inn:
We went on a Saturday evening with friends and first impressions weren't great. The dining room was cold, and there were few other diners.

Tolcarne Inn has garnered attention for its diverse seafood offerings and innovative vegetarian dishes, often praised for quality and freshness. Many diners delight in the warm atmosphere and attentive service, enjoying standout plates like turbot and monkfish. However, experiences vary widely; some guests express disappointment over limited menus, uninspired flavors, and poor service, particularly when seated near restrooms. While some recommend it for casual dining, others caution against high prices relative to quality. Ultimately, Tolcarne Inn promises delightful meals for some, while others leave wishing for more.
