You don’t need an occasion.

Sometimes wanting a really good lunch, opening a bottle and spending a couple of hours over something delicious is reason enough.
No birthday. No anniversary. No excuse required.
Just come to Newlyn. We’ll put the glass out.

JUST YOU. YOUR GUESTS. AND US.

Ever wondered what it would be like to have the Tolcarne to yourselves for an afternoon or evening?

This November, early December and January we're opening our doors on selected Tuesdays for something a little different.

Bring your favourite people and spend some time with Ben. See what's happening in the kitchen, discover what's good that week, ask questions, share a few stories — perhaps even lend a hand.

Then settle around the table and let us look after you.

There'll be a fire burning, a glass of something good, and five courses created by Ben especially for your table. We'll talk beforehand about what you love, what you'd rather avoid and any dietary requirements, so the menu is shaped around your group.

Stay a while. Enjoy another bottle, another story, the warmth of the fire and the company of your favourite people.

No other tables. No rush. Just your people, Ben's cooking and a few lovely hours together.

THE DETAILS

• Exclusively for groups of 6–12 guests.

• £150 per person, including five courses and a welcome drink.

• Your menu will be discussed and agreed with Ben in advance, subject to seasonal availability.

• W**e and other drinks are charged separately.

• Selected Tuesdays throughout November and into early December and January.

• Lunch finishes by 6pm; dinner by 11pm.

• No service charge.

• Our standard cancellation terms and conditions apply.

Whether it's a birthday, a gathering of old friends, family visiting, or simply the pleasure of doing something different together, we'd love to welcome you.

Interested?

Call us on 01736 363074 or email: [email protected] to discuss your group and preferred date.

The menu starts with what’s good.

What’s landed, what’s in season, what catches our eye — then we decide what to do with it.
It means the menu moves with the ingredients, rather than asking the ingredients to fit the menu.
That’s how we like to cook at Tolcarne.

Come to Newlyn hungry.

We’ll take care of the rest.
What’s good from the boats, what’s in season, and what we want to cook. That’s pretty much how the menu starts.
No need to wait for an occasion. Just come and eat.

Hospitality is a performance. At Tolcarne, we perform twice a day, most days.

A customer sees a lovely old Cornish pub. I see the carpet that needs replacing. They remember a relaxed evening; the team remembers everything that nearly went wrong.

And sometimes, while I’m noticing what could have been better, our customers are telling us how well they were looked after.

"One Story, Many Tellers" is the latest "Seasonal Notes"—about the different versions of the same service, and why I’m learning to listen to all of them.

Fresh cod. A sharp knife. A lot of portions.

The kind of job that makes afternoons longer and breaks shorter.

Time-lapse makes it look easy. Ben might disagree.

Just another day getting ready for service at the Tolcarne.
