The Tolcarne Inn Michelin Restaurant

The Tolcarne Inn Michelin Restaurant

The Tolcarne Inn is a historic maritime pub, nestled next to the sea wall in Newlyn – one of the UK’s most important fishing ports. Chef and restaurateur Ben Tunnicliffe has created an irresistible dining destination for seafood lovers, where a chalkboard menu evolves to reflect seasonal abundance. The catch of the day is served alongside fresh produce sourced from small local growers; Ben’s ethos is to combine flavours simply and instinctively, letting the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. With a friendly welcomed guaranteed, well-kept local ales and ciders, and regular live jazz sessions, The Tolcarne Inn is a relaxed setting in which to enjoy Cornwall’s famous food culture at its very best. An unassuming pub set behind the sea wall; inside it’s narrow and cosy, with 18C beams, a wood-burning stove and a long bar. Appealing, flavoursome dishes centre around fresh fish and shellfish, most of which is landed at the adjacent harbour – go for the turbot if it’s on the menu.
