Halloween at The Carps!

First up, we gotta talk about this quince marg. A proper looker, and an absolute treat for the palette. Made with beautiful local quinces from the legend that is Jo from Harewood Farm, just outside Calstock. This margarita is a little bit sweet, a little bit sharp and just the right kind of potent.

We’ve got street food on for the evening too with light bites and homemade kebabs from 5:30–8:30pm. Swipe for menu. No bookings, just bring an apetite :-)

The Lighthouse Project will be bringing upbeat indie rock from 8pm, we’ve got Delirium on draught (a treat and a little bit of a trick 🚀 ⛽️ ), and the ghostly Carps staff will be back in suitably ghoulish form.

Ham hock is a wonderfully flavoursome cut of pork that calls for slow cooking. Once tender, the meat is pressed into a classic, rich terrine. It’s a good way to make use of the whole animal, giving a hardworking cut the time it deserves.
We serve our terrine with a little fresh tomatillo and cucumber salsa, crispy potatoes and pickled shimeji mushrooms and carrot. Each of these elements plays a brilliant part with freshness, acidity and crunch alongside the richness of the pork.

Enjoy it as a starter or share it alongside more of our specials. Delicious with a dry white w**e, a crisp light b**r or a glass of delicious Tamar Valley Apple Juice.

A NEW MENU AT THE CARPS! 
Swipe to see our current specials :-)

We’ve been making a few changes in the kitchen, and we’re very excited to share them. Our new menu is available from tomorrow (Wed 21st).

Our Supper Nights have been such a success these past few months. You lot sure do love a good curry and a hearty pasta dish. And so do we! So we’ve decided to bring more of that into our everyday menu. We’re ready to fully lean into the sort of food we all want to eat at this time of year. Comforting, generous, familiar dishes, made with the same care we always put into our cooking.

There’ll be a smaller core menu of pubby favourites, alongside some changing specials that make the most of what’s coming in from our local producers. You can always expect a homemade curry, a fish dish, a few additional starters and usually another pud or two.

We’re also totally thrilled to be working with Philip Warren Butchers alongside our existing suppliers. Truly exceptional meat, with an enormous amount of care going into how the animals are raised and how the meat is aged. Good ingredients remain central to everything we do.

This autumn think steak and mushroom pie with mash and gravy, b**r battered hake and chips, our signature burgers, warming curries and stouty sticky toffee pudding. Dare we say we’re actually looking forward to winter? There are always several dishes that can be made vegan or gluten free on request, and also there’s a new kids’ menu too :-)

And one other little change. We’re saying goodbye to Supper Night as a separate thing, because its spirit is now very much part of the regular menu. 

This new menu will be available whenever our kitchen is open, Wednesday to Saturday. The exception is Sundays - Sundays are still all about our roasts.

Bring your nan, your niece, your crew, your date. Come for a quick bite or work your way round the whole menu! Good pub food, cooked from scratch. We hope you love it!

This year’s Oktoberfest was a cracker 🍻

There were more lederhosen than we could have ever dreamed of, including some of the shortest shorts we’ve even seen! 😆

Chef’s Janis, Charlie and Ksenija came up with the goods with an epic menu including delicious currywurst, schnitzel and Schweinshaxe - a rich and unctuous slow cooked ham hock🤤

We featured some awesome Bavarian b**rs which went down a treat along with the brilliant Three’s A Crowd band 🙌

Come and join us for some more merriment, of the spooky kind, at our Halloween party at the end of the month! 👻🍻
