Eating Out
Cornwall is a paradise for food lovers! From fine dining to quirky beach cafes, Cornwall is known as a prime foodie destination with Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver and Nathan Outlaw among the many top chefs championing the county’s abundant seafood and fresh produce. Here in West Cornwall we are surrounded by some of the best restaurants and pubs serving the freshest of local produce. Fish and shellfish straight from the sea, locally produced meat and vegetables grown in the surrounding fields. There are literally dozens of eating places to choose from and far too many to mention individually. As well as those in our immediate area there are also places nearby, like St Ives and Porthleven that have built a reputation for excellent food.
We have three pubs within a few minutes’ drive all serving good pub food. Mousehole is just fifteen minutes away and has superb restaurants – far too many to mention individually so you will have plenty of choice! Should you wish to leave the car behind, local taxis are available.

The Old Coastguard
Also at Mousehole with views to St. Clement's Isle, is The Old Coastguard, the sister hotel to the Gurnards Head. Serving a traditional brasserie menu, they take good ingredients and give them a very simple but classic treatment. Eat at scrubbed pine or oak tables on the Upper Deck and in the bar, or on the Sun Deck at sofas with just a pane of glass between you and the palm tree lined gardens. Or, best of all, eat on the terrace looking down at the sun-dappled sea.
