Excitement is building ahead of Feed The 300 – a celebration of pub’s 300th birthday which is taking place throughout November. 300 guests will dine on a special menu over the course of 10 nights, featuring some of Ben’s favourite fish dishes from his 3 decades in cooking.

If you would like to book please call us soon, as spaces are filling up fast! The three course menu is available at a specially discounted price of £28pp.

Below is a sample menu of what our guests can expect – please note that dishes may change due to seasonal availability.

Our wine merchant, Charles at Ellis Wharton Wines, has come up with some inspired wine matches for Ben’s dishes (NB these might be revised if the dishes change substantially).

We’ll take care of the rest. 
What’s good from the boats, what’s in season, and what we want to cook. That’s pretty much how the menu starts. 
No need to wait for an occasion. Just come and eat.

Hospitality is a performance. At Tolcarne, we perf Hospitality is a performance. At Tolcarne, we perform twice a day, most days.

A customer sees a lovely old Cornish pub. I see the carpet that needs replacing. They remember a relaxed evening; the team remembers everything that nearly went wrong.

And sometimes, while I’m noticing what could have been better, our customers are telling us how well they were looked after.

"One Story, Many Tellers" is the latest "Seasonal Notes"—about the different versions of the same service, and why I’m learning to listen to all of them.

Fresh cod. A sharp knife. A lot of portions. The Fresh cod. A sharp knife. A lot of portions.

The kind of job that makes afternoons longer and breaks shorter. 

Time-lapse makes it look easy. Ben might disagree.

Just another day getting ready for service at the Tolcarne.
