Season-led dining in Nanstallon. Local produce, Cornish drinks & a menu that evolves with the seasons. A new foodie destination.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This is what happens when seriously talented chefs get their hands on incredible locally grown produce.

I didn't think I could be more wowed by the creativity of cooking and mouth-popping flavours than I was last night at @ferncornwall

Chefs @paulwelburn and @wiseman_chef pulled out all the stops to make our autumnal supper truly spectacular. We've now experienced 3 seasonal menu changes with them, and I'm still in awe of their culinary skills.

Last night was all about showcasing the incredible produce from @aral.farm, and they absolutely delivered.

From the spiced, crunchy hash browns (wish I hadn't given my second one away) and that divine, tear-and-share Parkerhouse roll, to the warm BBQ brassica salad that had the table ooooing and arrring with its pops of umami, truffle custard, crispy chilli and Ogleshield.

The 48-hour BBQ lamb neck was beautifully tender, with a gorgeous sweet, sticky stout glaze that had everyone talking, while the crown prince squash cheesecake, pumpkin seed brittle, buttermilk sorbet and lime finished things on a high. Smooth, crunchy, citrusy, with the loveliest coconuty aftertaste. Absolutely stunning.

A huge thank you to Paul, Luke and the whole team for spoiling us once again. And to Conor and Rose from @aral.farm for joining us, sharing their beautiful produce and reminding us why looking after our land matters so much.

To everyone who joined us, especially those experiencing Potluck Cornwall for the first time, thank you for embracing the evening. And to my regulars, thank you for your continued support and friendship. It means more than you know.

Such a beautiful evening, celebrating brilliant food, incredible locally grown produce and hospitality done right.

Already looking forward to what our fourth season brings next year.

The first swedes are coming out of the ground! 🌱

And what beauties they are! Our first harvest headed off to @ferncornwall today, with plenty more making their way into the farm shop and, very soon, our veg boxes.

Despite a summer of relentless heat and drought, our brassicas have absolutely thrived this year. It's a real testament to the health of our soil, built through years of careful management, and the team's dedication to keeping everything watered through those long, hot weeks.

From swedes and cabbages to kale, broccoli and more, there's an incredible autumn harvest ahead of us.

We're looking forward to sharing this bounty through our farm shop, veg boxes and local markets over the coming months. Good soil, hard work and a little patience paying off!

Its taken a few days to find the words,

Finding out @ferncornwall had been awarded 3 @aa_hospitality rossettes has been one of the best moments of my life.

It means i am on the right path and fairly capable at my job. It also makes the hours i sacrifice with my family a little bit more manageable.

@rachiegrills88
Thank you for all of the support, reassurance and making sure everything runs well at home so I can fully focus in the kitchen. I couldn't do it without you, I love you ❤️

@jamesdavieroy
I knew we were destined to achieve great things together from the moment I met you at the 🚀

@paulwelburn
Its been an awesome journey so far building the restaurant we spoke about over that beer before fern even existed. Its really felt like such and organic collaboration since day one.

I can't wait to see what we and the team can achieve next.

@ylvisbrothers we listen to this song every su day during our deep clean, its become the anthem of Fern

I’ve spent a little time today going through these photos and, honestly… WOW.
What a journey it’s been. 🥹

These are 49 memories from our Chat & Eat Night adventures, from 2014 – 2026. Looking back at them has made me realise just how much I/ Potluck Cornwall has achieved.

And this is only one part of the story. These photos don’t include all the Supper Clubs, Foraging Adventures, Bring & Share Potlucks, Host-a-Roasts, Feast Nights, food-related movie nights, cookery classes, collaborations and all the other food-fuelled adventures we’ve created along the way.

Fourteen years of living in Cornwall and I've eaten a heck of a lot of sensational food. 😂🍴

And, I’m incredibly proud to say, a whole lot of return business brought to Cornwall’s wonderful independent hospitality industry along the way.

What makes me proudest is why Potluck Cornwall started in the first place.
It was never just about going out for a meal.
It started predominantly from a desire to help tackle loneliness and isolation, to create spaces where people could turn up, sit around a table with strangers and leave having shared good food, stories, belly laughed and made a new friend or two.

And 49 Chat & Eat Nights later, that still gives me the biggest buzz. I’m so proud of what I’ve built, but I absolutely couldn’t have done it without you.
Every person who has booked a ticket, brought a friend, came along on their own, supported an event, shared a post, recommended Potluck to someone else or simply kept showing up, thank you. 🥰

You’ve helped make this little idea into something much bigger than I ever imagined. So here’s to Chat & Eat No.50 @konabar_ …and then, of course, the next 50 adventures.

I wonder where we’ll end up next…🍜😉

As we reach the end of August and our summer season starts to wind down, we thought it was the perfect time for the ultimate R.PLACE summer round-up.

If you miss our mailer it included all things like Roo’s summer book reviews and our favourite festival to the places we’ve been loving, our foodie favourites this month and even a hand-picked playlist of all the R.Place tracks that have soundtracked our summer.

Read the full blog at → www.r.place

Here’s a little look back at what we’ve been up to…

A dish that encapsulates what @ferncornwall is all about … seasonal & in this case as local as it gets … a custard made from fig leaves picked from outside the door.. dried and infused in the custard base , hints of floral coconut make this utterly delicious.. sandwiched by brandy snaps , topped with a puree of steeped rose hips from Catherine up the road .. and a sorbet I’ve been looking forward to making since we discovered the mulberry tree in front of the restaurant.. the berries have turned black and the puree is absolutely immense! All finished with a dusting of more dried fig leaf … this is a cracker and on until the mulberry harvest and preserving is over …
