Our veggie schnitzel is portobello mushroom coated in the golden Coombeshead bread crumb, served with the same summery dill new potatoes, kohlrabi slaw and lemon.

Bookings and walk-ins both welcome. Give us a call or book online to grab a spot.

We’re excited to launch a new lunch offering.

As of today we’ll be opening from midday on Fridays and serving our first lunch menu: bagels, ploughman’s and light bites. We’ll be serving the lunch menu every Friday, and alongside our main menu on Saturday lunchtimes too.

In true Carps Kitchen style, everything is made from scratch in-house using local suppliers. The small-scale producers grow for flavour, with environmental health and ecology always at the forefront of what they do - many using regenerative practices which boost soil health and biodiversity as well as using organic principles.

Our hand-stretched bagels are baked fresh each week, with fillings to get quite excited about! Swipe through the photos to the end for the full descriptions, but here are the main characters...

Home-smoked pastrami made from brisket supplied by Challon's Combe Organics

Georgian-style smoked chicken from Wheal Farm Farm

Cured trout from Reach The Sea

In addition to the bagel line-up, enter the Ploughman’s Sharer.

We’ve been dreaming up a big ploughman’s for months. Elements of the platter will change over time, but to kick things off we have honey-roasted ham smoked in Bertha (our charcoal oven), handmade pork pies with apple jelly, Cornish yarg, Coombeshead Farm sourdough, house pickles, onion jam and Harewood Farm salad.

Featuring regularly in our dishes is our kimchi, fermented in-house. The kimchi & cheese toastie has been a go-to snack among the team for a while now, so we thought it was only fair to share it with you too. Now’s the time.

Lunch served 12:00 - 14:30. Bookings & walk-ins welcome 🙂

For this week’s Tuesday Supper Night, we bring you ramen. This Japanese noodle broth is, somehow, both rich and cleansing.

Our broth is simmered for 30 hours until it’s deep, rich and silky, finished shio-style which is light and clear. We top it with cha shu pork, soy-cured soft egg, chilli oil, toasted sesame and a local twist of Cornish seaweed and Cornish runner beans.

For our vegetarian option, we’re cooking up a savoury Cornish miso broth with charcoal-grilled maitake mushroom, soy-cured soft egg, toasted sesame and the same Cornish seaweed and runner beans.
Make it vegan by omitting the egg 🌱

All of it made in-house with local ingredients from ecological/ sustainable suppliers, as you’d expect from us.
Bookings and walk-ins both welcome …give us a call or book online to grab a spot.

Classic ramen / £15
Veg ramen / £12

17:30 - 20:30

Our veg option has all the same flavours but swaps the brisket for hispi cabbage and purple kohlrabi, grilled over charcoal and finished with toasted sunflower seeds.

Everything is made fresh and from wonderful sourced ingredients. Bookings as well as walk-ins welcome, so do give us a call or book online to secure a spot.
