The Cove Bar & Restaurant - Maenporth Beach

A smart beach side restaurant and bar on Falmouth's quietest and most unspoilt beaches.  Accessed via a nice coastal walk (or car).  Great reviews: http://www.thecovemaenporth.co.uk/

The Hidden Hut - Porthcurnick Beach

This beautiful beach on the Roseland Peninsula, also is home to one of the best kept secrets in the county.  An informal menu greets customers during the daytime, where its a take away service with tables close by (people can also bring their own 'bottle').  There are selected themed nights (check the website for dates), which have included ‘Lobster & Chips’, ‘Slow-roasted spring Lamb’, ‘Wood-fired Seafood Paella’, ‘Gourmet Rare-breed Burgers, ‘Mackerel Grill', ‘Sticky Ribs & Pulled Pork’.  All are cooked on a fire on the beach and are very social: http://www.hiddenhut.co.uk

Captian White's Reward - Top Tips for 2014

Just wanted to share our favourites amongst the many things listed on the Captain White's Reward Blog:

• Oliver's Restaurant, Falmouth - Look beyond the simple decor.  The food is amazing and matched by some of the friendliest service we've ever encountered
• Dolly's Tea Room & Wine Bar - Quirky and bags of character.  Wonderful for an afternoon tea (which you can replace the tea with a cheeky cocktail, served out of a tea pot), or to enjoy their amazing Gin List in the evening with a great Tapas selection.  Great live music on weekend nights (mellow guitarist/singer with an eclectic range)
• The Walk from Flushing to Mylor Harbour - After a lovely, quick ferry ride over from Falmouth to Flushing (the town across the water from Captain White's Reward), you walk to the right around the headland, through beautiful fields and then can relax with a cider and lunch at the restaurant there
• The Pandora Inn, Restronguet - A great, historic pub (dating back centuries) - good menu and you can always arrange for a water taxi (the ultimate way to travel in Cornwall) - you can walk from Flushing if you fancy an extension to the Mylor Harbour walk
• The Poly, Falmouth - Great Art Institute.  Always a great free exhibition and look out for their comedy and arthouse film programme
• Gylly Beach & Cafe, Falmouth - A lovely walking beach, with a good cafe for snacks and lunch
• Trelissick Garden, Feock - Beautiful National Trust Gardens and views
• Lost Gardens of Heligan, St Austell - Stunning gardens and a great walk.  Not easy to find, but well sign posted
• Hotel Tresanton, St Mawes - A real treat.  Jump on the ferry from Falmouth to St Mawes and the service and cuisine is second to none
• Picnic, Falmouth - The best Cornish Pasties (Anne's) and lunchtime treats
• Baker Tom, Falmouth - Beautiful, home baked breads and cakes
• Hunky Dory Restaurant, Falmouth - A great brasserie.  Lovely Moules Frites
• The Wheel House Restaurant, Falmouth - Amazing seafood and only sell what they catch that day. The menu is limited, but the simplicity makes this place so special.  Book well in advance - its super popular
• Constantine Stores - An Aladdin's cave of booze and one of the quirkiest places you will stumble upon in Cornwall
• Hidden Hut, Porthcurnick Beach - Situated on a small beach, close to Portscatho on the Roseland Peninsula, this is well worth the drive to experience the wonderful food and unique atmosphere.  Check the website for opening times and directions.  Great walking in the area as well.
• Espressini - A great artesian coffee shop and restaurant. Perfect if you are looking for a more refined brew and some super home made food at breakfast or lunchtime.

All are listed in the Blog with full details and web links.
