Eating & Drinking
In the last ten years Cornwall has established itself as the best dining scene outside of London. Aside from a constellation of Michelin starred chefs there are also surprises like The Hidden Hut on Porthcurnick beach making quite a name for itself. Our restaurant at Tresanton specialises in fresh fish prepared simply. Lunch might be a crab and dandelion salad or a wild garlic soup, followed by a whole Dover sole and homemade ice cream and sorbet.
