Date Night at Talland has a regular place in the diary: the last Thursday of every month. Consider this your standing invitation, if you will, to head out and let someone else worry about dinner.

For September, we’re leaning into classic date night territory with a sharing chateaubriand for two. Tangled forks in the fight for the final piece will be wholeheartedly encouraged…

Pencil Date Night at Talland in both your diaries, and meet us at a table by the sea on Thursday 24th September at 7pm. Get in touch to save your table 🍽️

The anatomy of a Talland Sunday 🔍

Coffee overlooking the bay. A walk to work up an appetite for Sunday roasts and sausages. One glass becoming two because nobody is driving home. A final stroll of the garden before bed, and a restful slumber, safe in the knowledge that Monday morning will look a lot more exciting this week.

If you’re looking for a sign to plan a Sunday stay in Cornwall this autumn, this is it.

We’re not wishing the last of the summer away. But this change in weather has had us thinking about open fires, storm-watching, indulgent dinners, red w**e, long baths, and the particular joy of returning from a coastal walk with pink cheeks…

Our Head Chef Glen Merriott didn’t exactly choose the kitchen. His mum dropped him at a pub on his last day of school, told him he had a job and, in his words, said: “Crack on.”

Thankfully, he did, because had he not, Talland wouldn’t have been nearly as tasty.

On the blog now, Glen shares his culinary career path, the Cornish produce that shapes his cooking now, and why autumn means roasting, braising, preserving and “proper cooking”.

Head to the website, have a read, then book a table to taste his cooking for yourself! 🍽️

We know. It’s August. Talk of Christmas feels wildly premature…

But there are some things that don’t particularly reward spontaneity, and disappearing to the Cornish coast for three days of ch*****ne, five-course dinners, sea air and absolutely no washing up is one of them ✨

Christmas at Talland brings mulled w**e and carols, festive feasts, our famous quiz, Boxing Day walks and plenty of time beside the fire. New Year’s Eve is a slightly more glamorous affair: glad rags, ch*****ne, Glen’s Gala Buffet, live music, dancing into 2027 and a Bloody Mary waiting on New Year’s Day.

Both our Christmas and New Year three-night stays are already limited, so consider this your entirely unapologetic nudge to start making plans.

Future you, holding a glass of fizz with the sea outside and no turkey tray to scrub, will be rather pleased you did.

A trio of taps, each with its reasons:

🍺 Asahi, because it is Jack’s favourite l***r (and when you write the drinks list, you get to make the rules…)

🍺 Proper Job, because it’s made not far from here and is arguably the best IPA you’ll find on draught in all of Cornwall

🍺 And Harbour, because it’s local, light and washes down a sea view particularly well

Take your pick or try all three. They were all made for Sundays like these, washing down lunch in the sun, while the sea does its thing a few feet from where you’re sitting. We’ll cheers to that! 🍻

A Seat by the Sea still waits for someone who could use a little good news.

Each month, we invite someone who is having a bit of a tough time to join us for lunch or afternoon tea, with a plus one and with absolutely no catch. Just a small act of kindness, served with Cornish views 🌊

We’ve received many nominations and we’d love you to keep them coming! There is no deadline and no need to make a fuss; no tagging them on social media or even mentioning you’ve put them forward. We’ll keep it quiet. Simply nominate them privately using the short form on our website, or leave a note with reception next time you’re passing.

Sometimes a seat by the sea and time to pause make all the difference 🤍

It’s Friday night. Someone else opened the w**e, there’s a table with your name on it waiting downstairs, and a bath as deep as you like waiting once you’re finished. Breakfast is taken care of too, not a frying pan in sight or sink.

Life is good 🍷

Here’s an idea for a school holiday afternoon we think you might rather like: lawn games that drift into lunch, boat spotting, ice cream hampers, and the sort of sea air that tends to tire little people out beautifully.

The beach is close enough for even little legs too, so you can wander down for rockpools and paddles, before making your way back up the hill for a perfectly chilled reward and a toast to making it through another day 🍷

There are quiet moments to be found in even the busiest of summers by the bay 🌊

Countless gins sipped by the sea, innumerable afternoon teas devoured, a terrace full for every meal. But it isn’t over yet…there’s still a little last-minute availability tucked away in August and September for those who are not quite ready to let summer go.

And for anyone already dreaming of Cornwall’s quieter side, our new three-night autumn escape is now to tempt you: three nights, two dinners, one afternoon tea on us. It’s available to book on our website now.
