He might not be Cornish by birth but Nathan Outlaw has certainly made Cornwall his home and he has been warmly welcomed by the locals. His smart yet laid-back restaurant sits in a great position on the headland, just a stone’s throw from the harbour, and the view from the first floor dining room is stunning. If you’d rather keep your attention solely on the food though, there’s also the counter in the ground floor bar.
There are few other chefs in the country who understand and execute seafood cookery as well as Nathan and his name has become synonymous with ultra-fresh fish and shellfish. His daily set menu is guided by the daily catch – landed just down the road – and the honest, unfussy dishes feature classical combinations which keep the focus firmly on the main ingredient. Service strikes the perfect balance of professional yet personable.
