A traditional high-street pub in Tavistock where proper pints and carefully cooked food share equal billing, The Cornish Arms holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a spot on the Top 50 Gastropubs list. The kitchen leans into local produce without making a fuss about it, turning out dishes that look simple until you notice how much thought went into them. Locals and tourists seem equally at home, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.
