The Courtyard Restaurant

Found The Courtyard on Google for lunch as I was passing through on the way further south. A very yummy stop off - within the Bodmin Jail entrance but you don't have to have tickets to enter the restaurant. Food is delicious, I had the club sandwich and there was a mayo type sauce on it which made it amazing! Slightly higher price range I imagine if you are a large group or just looking for a quick bite but if you are a fan of good food and not fussed about the cost then definitely the place to stop in Bodmin. Had a lovely outside terrace with some shady and sunny bits with a more formal inside. Staff were very nice and had clearly been trained to give excellent customer service above and beyond the usual.

Great for a quick meal - it was empty on a weekday (between 1.30pm - 2.30pm) after our jail attraction tour. The halloumi fries were a generous portion, so were the chilli garlic prawns (a tad under seasoned and not spicey for our pallet- but pairs well with the salty halloumi). The pepperoni pizza was nice.. the main attatraction was was sticky toffee pudding (with clotted cream, Not ice cream). Just sublime... Great service too.

Lovely clean restaurant, great staff, delicious food, BUT too many dogs! They were throughout the restaurant. You go to the trouble of asking about allergies, so you say no, thinking you mean food allergies, no one asked about my allergy to dogs! They were sat every side of me, if that’s not bad enough, one of them starts barking! Come on why are they allowed into restaurants, I fully appreciate that support dogs need to be there but none of the 4 dogs in this restaurant on Saturday night needed to be there. If they need to be in a restaurant then out them in one area or ask other diners about how they feel about being sat next to a dog! It spoilt our night!
