What's happened to the excellent packs of saffron buns a d saffron cake that used to be stocked here? Needs to include a bar area for drinking Skinner's Ales from cask in the shop. Also, No electric vehicle charging points in the car park. Why not? The car park should have at least 8 x CCS2 60kW DC fast chargers at this location and another 4 x 22kW a.c. 'Type 2' chargers.

Bought a pork leg joint and honestly the meat was awful and before you wonder if I cook this wrong, please know I have had more success with basic joints. This honestly sucked. The butcher that I mainly used in Turo has now closed. So at a loss now for finding good meat. Have had other meat from here but nothing remarkable. Hate to leave bad reviews but after hours of cooking this joint and putting work into the meat; it was pretty basic and I know the difference. Personally find another place to buy your meat in Cornwall. The amount of hours spent on this was unforgivable, especially for the price. And if you feel so inclined to get a cinnamon roll in the coffee area, let me help you, don’t do that. The rolls clearly have been left out, stale. If you want one just buy the pack they sell in the store with your coffee. Made that mistake twice now. Just pass pass pass.

Good butchery and deli sections. Nice range of gifts. However, rather expensive.

Great stuff. It is in first instance not entirely clear that it is separate from the Waitrose, but then you will find fantastic regional products. We selected meats and cheeses and were quite happy with our purchases. Staff is very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Exceptional food and quality, showcasing the very best of Cornwall. Stayed for 2 weeks in Newquay but visited the Truro store of Waitrose, and this is inside and is a little gem. If you want quality and don't mind paying a little more, then this is definitely for you! Bought Ribeye steak from butchers and best I've ever eaten, along with some beautiful quiches and wonderful cakes. Will be returning for sure.

The store sells the best of Cornish produce. The fishmonger only sells fresh Cornish fish which comes from local markets, so don't be surprised if what you want isn't available because it's out of season. The counter is open every day except Monday, as there are no fish markets over the weekend, and closed on the Tuesday after a Bank Holiday Monday. We had lunch in the cafe. I had a crab sandwich with lemon mayonnaise. The bread was good, but I was uninspired by the crab filling - I couldn't detect any lemon at all, and it was pretty light on seasoning. The cafe is pleasant, as are the staff.

A lovely store with meat, fish and deli counters. A good range of Cornish goods for everyone. Have a cafe where they have a great selection of food and hot and cold drinks to chose from. Coffee is served up to 4 at the moment. There are toilets here for customers.

So many items to buy from fresh butchers, delicatessen, bakery, alcohol Cornishware and local Cornish chocolate, my favourite being Josh's Gigantic Buttons.

A unique place filled with Cornish products connected to, but separate, Waitrose in Truro. I was very happy with the meat and fish from this shop, including John Dory.
