The Old Coastguard Michelin Restaurant
Old coastguard’s cottage in a small fishing village, with a laid-back, open-plan interior, a sub-tropical garden and views towards St Clement’s Isle. Well-presented brasserie dishes display a Mediterranean edge; great wine selection. Individually styled bedrooms – some with balconies, most with sea views. The day boats and trawlers of Newlyn tie up just two miles west of here. So you’d rightly expect our menu to have plenty of fish and seafood. It does. But we don’t underestimate the quality of Cornish beef and poultry, game from local estates and cheeses from some of Britain’s best dairies. We have built the reputation of all of our kitchens on the maxim that the best things in life are kept simple. And it’s truer than anywhere here in Mousehole. This is a traditional Brasserie menu that takes good ingredients and gives them a very simple but classic treatment. A menu that changes a little through the seasons. Where to eat? At scrubbed pine or oak tables on the Upper Deck and in the bar, some perfect for groups of 10 or more. Nearly all with views to St. Clement’s Isle. 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 and more frequently than you might think, eat on the terrace looking down at the sun-dappled sea.
