FOOD & DRINK

Cornwall offers great food and dining experiences

Whether you want to eat in or out, we have plenty of supermarkets and butchers, and there are many places to experience great Cornish food, from fish & chips to pubs and seafood restaurants.

The Port William

The Port William at Trebarwith Strand is renowned as a surfer’s paradise, children’s sandpit and walker’s delight. This boutique hotel style coastal inn near Tintagel, has front row sea-facing seats, alfresco dining, contemporary décor and a cosy woodburner to toast your toes beside after a long day walking.

Why not bring Rover too, as we’re a dog friendly bed and breakfast. Stroll along the stretch of sand and return to our 4 star accommodation, each with stunning sea views.

Our menus combine your favourite pub classics, with enticing specials – making the most of the freshest ingredients.

The Cornish Arms

The Cornish Arms Inn nr Port Isaac is a 16th Century coaching Inn, ideally located in the pretty hamlet of Pendoggett, c.2.5 miles from the historic fishing village of Port Isaac. Port Isaac has become famous over the years, not just as a fishing village but also as the home of Fisherman’s Friends, a group of local fishermen who are a world famous sea shanty group of singers, and more recently film stars after the release of the successful movie based on their story. Port Isaac is also the home of Doc Martin, and the film Saving Grace widely thought to be the pre-cursor to Doc Martin was filmed in part in the Cornish Arms.

Our menu is short seasonal and delicious, all our food is cooked to order, our desserts are to die for. The menu changes a little every day depending on what our suppliers are bringing us and what the fisherman catches on the day.

The tables in the snug are warmed by open fire and the bar by wood burner in the winter, and in the (hopefully) beautiful summer days eating is available in the large enclosed garden to the front.

The Poldark Inn

The Poldark Inn is situated at the highest point of the Treligga Downs in Cornwall and less than 2 miles from the coast. Set in a tranquil, picturesque and secluded location, the inn offers free Wi-Fi and free private parking.

Peckish Fish & Chips

Robert Peck began his career in the mid 90s working in his local fish and chip shop as an assistant fryer.

Rob and his wife Louise moved to Camelford, North Cornwall in November of 2008 and took ownership of the town’s fish and chip shop.  After being refurbished and rebranded as ‘Peckish’ it reopened in mid January 2009 and has thrived ever since.

In June of the same year Peckish became the first fish and chip shop in North Cornwall to obtain the 5-star Fryers Quality Award, the highest accolade Seafish give.
