The Barbican Bistro, Penzance
This is our very favourite restaurant! Delicious food, well-priced and a lovely atmosphere!
The Barbican Bistro is a family run restaurant led by local brothers Jack and Jay Liddicoat. They serve small plates with a focus on fish. The atmosphere is relaxed with casual dining in an historic building right next to Penzance Harbour with views of St Michael’s Mount. This is our favourite restaurant!
The team work with local suppliers in the area, including dad Shane who delivers fish straight off the boat from Newlyn, to bring fresh seasonal ingredients to the kitchen. Their pickled anchovies marinated in chilli & lemon is my favourite. Caleb loves the crab loaded fries and we both adore the butterflied sardines with salsa verde!
2 Fore Street, Mousehole
Caleb and I recently dined again at 2 Fore Street and can thoroughly recommend it! Our favourite is the Barbican Bistro, but this place is right up there and it is always lovely to have a stroll around Mousehole beforehand taking it the beauty of this quaint little fishing village and harbour!
With a vibrant, continental feel, 2 Fore Street is a relaxed and stylish bistro-style restaurant on Mousehole harbour front with views across Mount’s Bay as well as a beautiful secluded garden to enjoy long summer days.
The menu changes regularly to reflect the freshest of local produce with an array of mouthwatering options from a hand-picked crab salad, to a delicious homemade burger to grilled lemon sole fillets with samphire. The perfect atmosphere for Sunday morning cup of coffee, lunch straight off the beach or to meet friends for dinner over a chilled glass of prosecco.

The Dog & Rabbit Café, St Just
The Dog & Rabbit Café run by Rosie and Ben since 2018, is one of our very favourite haunts!! The food is exceptional and the atmosphere is so warm and friendly.
The café is open 7 days a week from 9.00am —4.00pm. It is worth booking a table at busy times and you can phone them on tel:+44736449811
Ben, the owner, started out working for the St Austell brewery.
He is very experienced and it shows!
He was a manager at the Old Success Inn in Sennen and at the Cape Cornwall Golf Club.
Rosie had always been in the catering business. She started young at 14yrs old working in the Sennen Beach Café. She’s passionate about providing quality, healthy, home-cooked, locally and/or sustainably sourced, delicious food. She’s full of great ideas and recipes!
All the tables are named after animals as the previous owner acquired lots of animal figurines, so don’t take it personally if you hear an order for “another slice of cake for the elephant in the corner”!!!
The coffee is provided by a company from Falmouth called Yallah (Arabic for “Let’s go!”) which was set up by two surfing dudes who buy their beans direct from farmers. Yallah began with a restored 1950’s roaster, a leaky barn, and a goal to build a sustainably focused business.
The soya is grown in from seed in France; the chipping potatoes come from Camborne and are home cooked and Rosie uses organic flour from the Doves Farm Mill.
The home-baked cakes are mostly vegan and gluten free, unusual and utterly delicious. My favourite is their full-sized Jaffa Cake!!!
Most of the vegetables come from local farms such as Bosavern Community Farm on the outskirts of St Just which is a not-for-profit Social Enterprise run on Wholesome Food Association principles by a community of employees, members and volunteers.
I volunteered during lockdown and loved looking after the free range chickens!
Cape Cornwall Club, near St Just
Cape Cornwall Club is close by our other self-catering holiday let, Wheal Call, at Cape Cornwall about 7 miles from Trengothal.
Our guests at Wheal Call tell us that CCC is very welcoming and a lovely place to have a meal with a great chef at the moment.
Wheal Call – the cottage on the edge!
Cape Cornwall Club was once Nanpean Farm, but in the late 1980s the original stone wall barns and farmhouse were converted into a Clubhouse and the farm fields into an 18-hole golf course designed by Bob Hamilton. It opened up to the public in 1990 and has recently been taken over by Andy and Leanne Cleary.
Visitors are more than welcome to enjoy the restaurant and bar which has a relaxed and casual environment with tables looking out over the wild Cornish cliffs at Cape Cornwall and breath-taking sunsets.
