Cornwall Fine Dining, Restaurants and Awards

Many restaurants within Cornwall B&B guesthouses and small hotels are family run, offering a sumptuous choice of fresh local produce, often organically grown. So, if you're looking for romantic dinners for two, or hearty homecooked Cornwall produce, fresh from one of the many local farms and farmers' markets, choose from many Cornwall B&B guesthouses and character hotels.

There's some fabulous large character historic country manor hotels in Cornwall offering excellent catering facilities for large parties including banquet services with private bars - perfect for celebrations and weddings. Expect an extensive menu choice ranging from A La Carte/Table d'hote menus to more traditional menu choices. In such venues everything's 'all in', including catering and restaurant facilities, entertainment, and of course your accommodation is just upstairs.

The 'restaurant with rooms' experience is highly recommended, and you'll find a selection of these across Cornwall. Rick Stein now has his own hotel in Padstow. Some superb restaurants provide luxury accommodation above select restaurants, often because they are located off the beaten track, perhaps in superb walking country. No need to rush fine dining - it's a great idea!
