Fallowfields, located within the Housel Bay hotel on the Lizard Peninsula, has updated its tasting menu with an assortment of summer-inspired dishes aimed at giving its guests and diners a taste of some of the best the season has on offer.
Commenting on the menu, Head Chef Joseph Fallowfield said: “At Fallowfields, we focus on delivering the best locally-sourced seasonal dishes which means regular menu updates are required as we chop and change the ingredients we use as the seasons develop and change.
“Now we're full swing into the sunny months, we felt that we wanted the menu to showcase a selection of ingredients that range from beloved summer favourites to some unique flavour options exclusive to our location. Our goal is to leave diners yearning for just one more bite!"
He went on to say: “We create our dishes from the ground up, focusing closely on several key ingredients; with this approach, nothing beats fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.”
The 'Jewels of the English Sun' tasting menu features a variety of dishes, examples of which include:
Miniature sea lettuce loaf with whipped dulce butter
Cornish mozzarella with heritage tomato, thyme, peach sorbet and peach ash
Lobster & prawn bisque with carrot, ginger, Fowey mussels and saffron
Cucumber tart with berries, pistachio macaroon and basil
Joseph added: “The reception we've had from diners at Fallowfields continues to blow us away. We're in an isolated location on the very tip of the coast and to see increasing numbers who are making their way down just to try our food is really fantastic for us.”
The new menu joins another recent change to the hotel's food offering, Seafood Sundays, which swaps out the more usual traditional Sunday roast for something a little more coastal-inspired with a selection of lobster and seafood dishes taking the spotlight.
The full tasting menu is £65 per person or £110 with paired wines. The short tasting menu is £45 per person or £70 with paired wines.
Fallowfields is open from Wednesday to Saturday evenings with bookings available from 6pm – 8.30pm.
