PROPER JOB!

Georgina Young, Brewing Director at St Austell Brewery, gives us her recommendations on some perfect food pairings.

If you’re looking for something different to try with dinner, you may already be asking yourself the age-old question ‘red or white?’.

However, says Georgina: “I can safely say St Austell’s IPA, Proper Job, should be what you’re reaching for!”

Whilst it may not be the obvious choice to opt for a pint over a glass of wine with a meal, Georgina explains that there’s something special that a beer can add which some wines just cannot rival. “Proper Job cuts through fats, complements the punchier flavours of a dish and contrasts to wake up the senses and ignite flavours you might not otherwise have recognised,” she explains. “Due to its large hop load, the beer will clear and refresh a palate with ease for rich and creamy dishes, working brilliantly with favourites like mac and cheese or deep-fried camembert!

“It also complements roasted garlic, sweet onions, rosemary, thyme, sage and citrus peel, and its bitterness will even help to balance salt in dishes. Sip a glass with miso and chilli glazed aubergine, which harmonise with the tropical

pineapple and grapefruit flavours that Proper Job brings to the table, and serve it with sticky coconut rice, bok choy and roasted tender stem broccoli. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, fierce chillies and sweet pomegranate and you have a culinary pairing that promises to deliver a burst of flavour with every mouthful.”

This punchy IPA pairs with favourites from the summer grill, too. As Georgina explains: “It contrasts with a range of smoky barbeque flavours like ribs, crispy chilli cauliflower or chicken wings and, if you’re in the mood for a south-east Asian curry, it’ll help to ease those punchy flavours, too. Proper Job is brewed to stand up to some big flavours, both savoury and sweet, in fact it will easily boost sweet treats like a juicy carrot cake, too!”

Grilled to PERFECTION

Elevate your al-fresco dining this BBQ season with the fresh taste of lamb.

Owner of Porthleven-based restaurants

Kota and Kota Kai, Jude Kereama knows a thing or two about flavour.

Being half Chinese/Malay and half Mãori, cooking on fire is perfect for the Asian dishes that he’s heavily influenced by. Jude has recently introduced a Josper grill into his kitchens so that he can bring that heavenly smoky flavour you get from cooking over a BBQ to his new summer menus.

“This summer, will see a plethora of grilled items coming on such as lobster, whole fish, squid, octopus, and a hot-grilled seafood plate... mackerel will be fantastic on it too. We’ll also be serving hot-grilled peaches and apricots with vanilla ice cream and raspberries that will surely be a hit in the summer weather,” says Jude. If you’ve not visited Kota Kai since its extensive refurb then we highly recommend a visit to sample both the new menus and some exciting new cocktails, as a result of an exciting collaboration with Chris Jarrett, aka the Bearded Barman. While over at Kai, Chef Ross Sloan’s seven-course tasting menu is receiving wide acclaim.

“I love eating lamb but especially when they are a little older and tastier. To be honest I prefer hogget which is a sheep which is one to two years old. A good way to serve BBQ lamb is with this recipe of peperonata which is sweet with slow/ medium cooked peppers, tomatoes and onions with a punch of herbs from the salsa verde and splash of vinegar to cut through the lamb fat. The anchovies in the sauce are a perfect marriage with the lamb. Pan frying the lamb is also fine as an alternative.”

BBQ GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PEPERONATA AND SALSA VERDE

METHOD

1 To make the marinade, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. A few hours before grilling, coat the chops thoroughly in the marinade.

2 To make the salsa verde, first put the olive oil and the herbs in a jug blender and blitz until smooth. Stir in all the other ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

3 To make the peperonata, first heat the olive oil in a thick-bottomed or cast-iron pan over a medium heat, then add the sliced garlic and cook until just going golden. Then add the peppers and onions and cook until softened and starting to colour slightly.

SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

For the Lamb:

4 Add the passata and tomato purée and cook until the tomatoes have reduced. Finally, season with the sugar, salt, pepper and vinegar.

5 When you are ready to grill, season the chops and then cook on each side on a high heat until brown and caramelised. About 4 minutes on each side will make them medium rare. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.

6 To serve, warm the peperonata if necessary, then spoon into the middle of each plate and place the lamb chops on top. Drizzle all over with the salsa verde. If you fancy making it more substantial, serve with rosemary roast potatoes and a rocket salad.

Laid-back seaside dining at The Welloe.

BY THE OCEAN Pizza EXPERIENCE

The first thing you’ll notice about The Welloe is its spectacular position overlooking Praa Sands beach; you are literally just a few steps away from the sand here and on a calm summer’s day, when the waves lap the shore and a gentle breeze cools sun-kissed skin, you would be forgiven for thinking you were by the Med. When you’ve managed to draw yourself away from that view, friendly bar staff are on hand to take your order. The bar is fully stocked with plenty of local tipples and a tempting cocktail menu – there’s nothing quite like sipping a Welloe mojito on the sun-soaked terrace as the sun dips.

Whether you dine alfresco, or in the airy indoor space, there’s something for everyone on The Welloe’s purse-friendly menu. From breakfast, through lunch and on into dinner, delicious plates are delivered to expectant diners. Choose from family favourite fish dishes, mussel bowls and succulent burgers or opt for what are in our opinion some of the finest pizzas this side of Italy!

A true

DINING EXPERIENCE

Connecting food producers to discerning diners at a wonderful neighbourhood pub.

The Rising Sun has garnered a loyal foodie following, lured in by Tom Hannon’s classic, sophisticated and creative à la carte menus and the prospect of dining in the warm and relaxed atmosphere of a welcoming neighbourhood pub. Tom’s menus are based on ethically and responsibly sourced local produce, focussing upon exciting flavour combinations. Alongside this high-quality and successful approach, Tom keeps the food offering up to date with constantly evolving bar snack menus, wine pairing dinners, small plates for the upcoming cocktails and cigar event, and seafood barbeque’s planned for the summer months.

Sometimes guests are looking for more than just a great meal out, they are looking for an experience out of the ordinary; a memory to cherish. At the Rising Sun they love creating events and experiences that are something special, especially when it can directly connect the passionate and knowledgeable producers to their discerning guests.

Their expansive bar snacks menu came into being due to customer demand and their desire to roll out the offerings from the successful (and often fully booked) restaurant to their bar customers. Imagine getting together with a bunch of friends

for a drink and the impulse to have a light meal takes hold – we’ve all been there. Well, now this desire can be satisfied, either in the pub area, or on balmy summer evenings in the courtyard garden. And what’s more, a lot of the elements of the bar snacks menu cleverly use ingredients that make up components of the à la carte dishes. This means there is no separate prep that in the past resulted in high-quality ingredients and dishes going to waste.

So, having seen how well this idea took off they have now extended it to Sundays too, when they offer a Sunday bar snacks menu featuring mouth-watering treats such as roast beef, yorkshire pudding, gravy and horseradish or truffled cauliflower cheese.

Keep an eye on their website for more innovations and watch out for their courtyard club line-up.

Dining at ITS FINEST

You’ll find that exquisite British cuisine and fine wines are served in both of The Nare’s sea-view restaurants.

Dining at The Nare offers a truly memorable experience. Renowned for its fine dining, it has built a reputation over the years, with both of its restaurants recognised for their culinary excellence. As a seaside country house hotel, it specialises in seafood dishes, while the Cornish beef sourced from local farms is amongst the finest available.

The Dining Room boasts spectacular sea views on three sides and provides traditional five-course dining. The table d’hôte menu, which changes daily, features classic silver service with an exquisite hors d’oeuvres trolley, guéridon-served flambés, homemade puddings, and a renowned selection of West Country cheeses. Portloe lobster is a nightly feature, along with an array of seafood and other local produce, including generous servings of Cornish clotted cream.

Sunday Lunch at The Nare

The Nare’s Sunday Luncheon in the Dining Room is a very traditional affair. Guests are encouraged to arrive early for aperitifs and canapés in the cocktail lounge before being seated at an elegant sea-view table. The four-course menu begins with starters such as locally smoked salmon, soup of the day and a selection of hors d’oeuvres served from the trolley. The main course features a full roast with all the expected trimmings, including roasted and buttered new potatoes. The chef carves at the table, with fish and vegetarian options also available. The meal concludes with a choice of homemade desserts, ice creams, sorbets, and a flambé of the day, along with a selection of West Country cheeses and vintage ports. Coffee and petit fours complete this delectable lunch.

The Quarterdeck

The Quarterdeck, with its classic yachting decor, teak panelling, and large windows, offers a comfortable atmosphere for dining and relaxation. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy good food, good company, and stunning views over the Bay. It’s perfect for afternoon tea by the fire, wine tastings, bridge games, private family dining or a glass of single malt at the snug bar.

The Nare boasts an extensive wine cellar featuring classic and intriguing wines from around the world, selected and curated with the expertise of proprietor Toby Ashworth. The list includes some of the best wines from local vineyards, which thrive thanks to the subtropical climate of the south Cornish coast.

And being next to the sea means you can take a pre or post-dinner stroll along Carne Beach. And if you’re feeling slightly more adventurous continue along the sand to the connecting beach of Pendower; it’s worth the effort. The Nare really is something else, combining luxurious stays with fine dining, situated at one of the Roseland’s best beauty spots.

SUCCESS A Cornish

Perched above the sea, Boscastle Farm Shop and Café is an exemplar of what a great business should be.

Surrounded by National Trust farmland and less than 50 yards from the coastal path, the idea of Boscastle Farm Shop originated from a passion for high-quality local produce and an appreciation for the natural beauty of the area. There is no better place to showcase this produce than in this stunning location, with breath-taking views from the shop and café.

For example, their beef comes exclusively from the Ruby Red pedigree herd, fed with farm-grown feed. It is then aged for a minimum of 21 days –come along and taste the difference for yourself.

The extensive cheese selection features some renowned Cornish artisans. Davidstow offers cheddars in Mature, Extra Mature Crackler, and Vintage Reserve. The Cornish Cheese Co. provides award-winning blue cheeses, and Curds & Croust offers Miss Wenna Cornish Brie and Nanny Florrie Goats Brie. Their counter also showcases semi-mature gouda from the Cornish Gouda Co, along with halloumi, Greek feta, and parmesan for a comprehensive cheese experience.

Traditional bakery goods and artisanal breads are sourced from the Electric Bakery and Malcolm Barnecutt, with daily offerings of bloomers

and baps. The iconic Cornish pasty, made with Red Ruby beef, Boscastle potatoes, and Davidstow Cheddar, is a highlight. Other pastry items include pies, sausage rolls, and quiches, all crafted by in-house bakers. Notably, the steak pasty, homemade sausages, 6oz beef burgers, and steak and ale pie have won gold at Taste of the West awards.

If you can’t make it to the shop then they have an online shop from which you can purchase a wide range of delicious homemade products as well as items from the butchery, the deli, fresh fruit and vegetables and all your grocery essentials.

Finally, there’s the café. If you’re out and about in the area, walking or taking a drive along the coastal road, then refuelling here will be a treat. Relax and enjoy the views from the cosy café whilst sampling freshly prepared delights such as their Farmer’s Lunch or homemade quiche.

CONSIDERATE EXPANSION Tasteful and

From small beginnings, Bluntrock Brewery has gained much acclaim for its smallbatch, high quality beers, brewed just a few miles from the north Cornish coast.

Here you’ll find George and Hugo, a modern brewer and craft beer enthusiast who joined forces to open a nanobrewery and taproom, with the goal to share their passion for world class beer. Built out of second-hand shipping containers, the Taproom opened its doors in spring 2021 on the north Cornish coast, with brewing beginning the following winter. Serving their beers on-site affords Hugo and George complete control over the quality of their beers, giving a guarantee that the beer will always be in prime condition when it’s served.

Taking up the story Hugo explains, “We use modern brewing techniques, pure Cornish water from our borehole, traditional English malts, a range of English, European, American and New

Zealand hops, fresh liquid yeasts and a range of local fruits and plants in our special brews. All of these ingredients go to create the delicious and diverse beers that you can enjoy in our taproom. And soon enough you’ll be able to enjoy them further afield!”

Such has been the success of Bluntrock’s stable of beers that Hugo and George have just announced that they will be expanding into a new, state of the art brewery some ten times the size of their existing one, but literally just down the road. The new brewery will not only allow them to grow their incredible community, but to achieve new heights of innovation and quality in their brewing techniques. “The expansion, which has included investment in progressive technology, also helps us to continue to operate

in the most sustainable, inclusive and honest way possible. These progressive systems include CO2 recovery, solar power and an onsite bore hole, all of which pull us closer to net zero. It’s worth adding that we will be the very first brewery in Cornwall to have a CO2 recovery system installed. We are going to aim for a B-Corp certification within the first two years of our expansion, as well as working with Zevero, a leading carbon accounting firm, to monitor the carbon emissions of our supply chains, processes and finished beers.”

Two new brewers joined the team this spring, giving Bluntrock a combined brewing experience of over 20 years. Hazy pale ales, IPAs, unfiltered lagers and traditional cask ales will be made in the new brewery, while the smaller brewing kit on the Taproom site

will be reserved for monthly explorative special brews and recipe development. The vibrant container taproom in St Minver will continue to act as a place for the Bluntrock team to share their passion for fresh, diverse styles of beer, and also to continue to host its hugely popular live music events with a focus on jazz, blues and groovy vinyl nights. An exciting selection of street food trucks including local favourites Dank Franks, Fat Pepper and Sourdoughlicious will be back at the Taproom over the summer.

Here’s to a more sustainable brewing future, with a glass full of joy from Bluntrock Brewery!

Taste of THE DAY

At St Moritz Hotel, dining is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that marries exquisite flavours with breathtaking scenery.

With two distinct onsite restaurants, guests can indulge in a variety of culinary delights at the St Moritz Hotel, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Cornish coast.

For a relaxed, al-fresco dining experience, the Seaside Pool Club is the perfect destination. Nestled alongside the outdoor pool, this eatery offers panoramic sea views of the estuary, making it an ideal spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the fresh coastal air. The ambiance here is laid-back and inviting, perfect for families, friends, and solo travellers alike.

The menu at the Seaside Pool Club is designed to cater to a wide range of tastes, with a focus on casual, yet delicious fare. Guests can savour pizzas, each one crafted with fresh, ingredients and baked to perfection. Burgers are another

highlight, featuring juicy, tender patties made from the finest meats, complemented by toppings to suit every preference. For those looking for lighter options, fresh salads, brimming with vibrant, seasonal produce, offer a refreshing alternative. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or taking in the sweeping sea views, the Seaside Pool Club provides a delightful dining experience that captures the essence of summer in Cornwall. For a more formal dining experience, the Shorecrest Restaurant offers an elevated culinary journey that is sure to impress even the most discerning palate. Under the expert guidance of Chef de Cuisine, Jake Grove, Shorecrest has launched a new three-course menu that promises to be a highlight of any visit to St Moritz Hotel. Chef Grove has adopted an old-school approach to menu creation, letting the market dictate the

offerings. This method ensures that every dish is product-led and based on the freshest, highest quality ingredients available. This approach not only supports local farmers and producers but also guarantees a dining experience that is both seasonal and sustainable.

The new three-course menu at Shorecrest is a testament to Chef Grove’s culinary philosophy. Starters might include delicacies such as sustainably farmed Boscastle trout, or a fresh Cornish crab salad, each dish showcasing the bounty of the local waters. For the main course, guests can look forward to options like a succulent lamb shoulder, slow-cooked to perfection, or a fillet of local sea bass, paired with seasonal vegetables and delicate sauces that enhance rather than overpower the natural flavours of the ingredients.

Desserts at Shorecrest are equally impressive, using ingredients such as English strawberries and elderflower from the gardens, each offering a sweet conclusion to a memorable meal. The menu changes regularly to reflect these fresh market finds, ensuring that every visit to Shorecrest offers something new and exciting.

FINE FOOD?

Begun in 2022 by chefs Harry Cartwright and Jay Brady, the opening night of The Mulberry established itself firmly as a Falmouth-fitting fusion of fine dining with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to delight its guests; and it remains as such today.

The Mulberry has quickly found its feet as an award-winning Cornish restaurant, having won the Muddy Stilettos Best Restaurant Award for 2022 just a few months after their opening night. With local, seasonal and sustainable produce at the core of everything they do, it’s no surprise that word spread quickly, as Harry explains:

“Cornwall has some of the best produce in the country, supplied by some very talented farmers and fisherman. Using local suppliers wherever possible is a core value at the Mulberry, and having a great relationship with local producers is vital to ensure the best quality ingredients.”

“We source from small-scale, passionate suppliers,” Jay adds, “such as the fantastic Pasha from Pasha’s Patch, who sends us beautiful herbs, fruits and vegetables, and asks only to be treated to an occasional meal in lieu of payment. We also supply a good deal of the ingredients ourselves, either via Harry’s many foraging escapades, or produce from my own

small holding, like the duck eggs currently on our menu.”

Sustainability is hugely important at The Mulberry, with an aim to produce as little waste as possible by making every effort to use every part of an animal, fruit or vegetable. “We order in whole cuts from Philip Warrens and butcher the meat ourselves.” Harry continues. “That way we are able to utilise off cuts of meat which may otherwise go to waste. For example, whilst the premium cuts are used in our pork tenderloin dish, offcuts from the pig help create the quail scotch eggs currently on our menu. From our whole lamb saddle we take the saddle fillet off and turn the lamb belly into lamb bacon or salt lamb to be utilised elsewhere on our menu. Left over parts of fruits may go into making gels or sorbets, and vegetables into stocks.”

Alongside an extensive wine list that is unlikely to disappoint the aficionados amongst you, as well as locally sourced spirits and fresh, seasonal cocktails to tingle the taste buds, here is a taste of Cornwall if there ever was one.

KAP

‘Friendly greetings’ from Jumunjy, Cornwall’s most southerly Thai restaurant.

Exchanging the vibrant party-life of the Thai island Koh Phangan for the equally idyllic, albeit more leisurely life of the Lizard Peninsula; the evolution of Thai restaurant, Jumunjy, is a tale best told over an evening of spicy food and cold beer.

It’s a tale of growth and family, and begins with owner and Head Chef, Phansa ‘Bim’ Takun. Growing up in northern Thailand, Bim helped her mother sell street food at village festivals, her aunt’s wholesale business, and her family-run distillery responsible for making Lao-khao ‘Thai Moonshine’. Now, along with husband Tristan and the support of his dad and brother, Bim continues to cook the authentic Thai food that Cornwall has come to know and love.

Before their move to Cornwall, the couple spent many happy years living on Koh Phangan, serving food and drink to travellers from all over the world. During that time, they learned how to cater for a wide range of tastes, taking advice and learning recipes, always expanding their menu and skills. They eventually made the move to Cornwall in 2010, introducing Thai Tuesday, an event that quickly became a sell-out, and with the knowledge that their dream was within reach, they began to build their very own Thai kitchen.

It wouldn’t take long for the kitchen to become a hit, the team’s free home delivery service an immensely popular addition on the remote Lizard Peninsula, and before long, they were finally able to move to the current location at the

You’ll find multi-level, separate seating areas, ideal for large and small groups alike, and the décor itself is a jungle of exciting design. A crashed plane hovers above diners in one section; the walls rush with water, and the adornment of plants and twinkling lights takes you far from the well-kempt fields of the Duchy.

Add to this a five-metre cocktail and rum bar, fusing Thai origins with recycled treasures found on the Lizard, and it’s clear that Jumunjy’s owners have not forgotten the atmosphere of the party island on which they first formed their Cornish dream. Those origins, fused with fresh local produce, including fish from Newlyn, beef from the Lizard, and veg from Cornish growers, and it’s unsurprising that Bim, Tristan and co have won the accolade of Cornwall’s Number 1 Thai Restaurant!
