MICHELIN GUIDE RESTAURANTS There are big names aplenty in the Michelin Guide, but here are some of the smaller (and newest) entries from Cornwall, quietly plying their trade in hidden and quirky venues.
Rocket Store
Listed in December, this “compact” restaurant is based in the 19th century store which once housed the coastguard’s horse-drawn rocket firing equipment. What the Michelin Guide says: “The blackboard lists small plates and whole fish dishes; most of the produce is supplied by the owner’s father who, as well as being the harbourmaster, owns a boat and runs a small farm.” The Harbour, Boscastle, PL35 0HD. Tel 01208 871714 www.asquithsrestaurant.co.uk
Barley Sheaf
This 18th century village pub draws upon the Roseland peninsula for produce, and made its Michelin debut in December. What the Michelin Guide says: “This attractive pub has a deceptively large interior, with a rustic, pine-furnished dining area, a capacious bar and space to dine upstairs too. The well-priced menu lists pub classics alongside more ambitious dishes.” Gorran Churchtown, PL26 6HN. Tel 01726 843330 www.thebarleysheafgorran.co.uk
Emily Scott Food
Emily took over new premises at the popular Watergate Bay complex last summer, having cooked for world leaders during the G7 summit in Carbis Bay, so it was no surprise to see her in the Michelin Guide by December. What the Michelin Guide says: "The room is elegant and contemporary and there are far-reaching views... Local produce features in refined dishes with a seafood focus.” On the Sea Wall, Watergate Bay, TR8 4AA. Tel 01637 818184 • www.emilyscottfood.com
Asquith’s, Lostwithiel
Chef proprietor Graham Cuthbertson serves modern British cuisine in this shop conversion, with contemporary styling and wood panelled walls hung with modern Cornish art. What the Michelin Guide says: “Confidently executed dishes feature some original flavour combinations and won’t break the bank. The atmosphere is intimate, relaxed and inviting.” 19 North Street, Lostwithiel, PL22 0EF. Tel 01208 871714 • www.asquithsrestaurant.co.uk
