The sister hotels combine city and coast and these influences have shaped the menu by showcasing speciality dishes from each hotel. The menu features only Cornish food and drink from the very best local suppliers, including Camel Valley Vineyard, Matthews Stevens, Duchy Game, Curds & Croust, Stevenson Newlyn, L George Butchers and Tregothnan tea.

‘As we gear up for the main summer season and we welcome holidaymakers to Cornwall, it’s important that we take the time to showcase the best food and drink from our special county.

‘It’s an exciting opportunity for our chefs to show off their skills and meet the guests they cook for. Canapes will be served on our terrace, where you can watch the chefs prepare and cook the food in front of you - that’s how fresh it is, before moving inside to the restaurant for the remaining courses’ says Nick Hodges, Executive Chef for the two hotels.
