a foodie overnighter in Cornwall

Experience Escoffier-inspired dishes with a modern twist at this traditional coaching inn in the Cornish village of Ladock.

A quaint 17th-century inn situated on what was once the main road into west Cornwall, The Falmouth Arms has everything you could wish for in a cosy country inn: a snug bar area, a roaring open fire and oodles of historic charm.

Chef-owner Kevin Viner is a stalwart of the Cornish food scene, having become the county's first Michelin-starred chef in 1993 during his tenure at Pennypots in Blackwater (an accolade he retained for nine years). He went on to work at various establishments – including a stint as a private chef for the Prince and Princess of Monaco – before taking on The Falmouth Arms with his wife Jill in 2018.

Having experimented with different culinary styles over the years, Kevin has returned to what he does best: classic French cooking. Expect to find nostalgia-packed dishes, such as twice-baked cheese soufflé and sole véronique, on a line-up that puts the spotlight on quality ingredients.

Book a bed for the night in one of the four attractive rooms upstairs so you can have a glass of wine or two over dinner and a nightcap at the bar. In the morning, indulge in a full cooked breakfast paired with Kevin's own freshly baked bread before you continue on your travels.

THE PRIZE Dinner, bed and breakfast for two, including a glass of Prosecco on arrival.
