Fallowfields unveils ‘Jewels of the English Sun’ tasting menu

Published July 3rd, 2023

A restaurant in Cornwall is keeping things fresh for summer with its latest menu update called ‘Jewels of the English Sun’ which has just launched.

Fallowfields, which is located at Housel Bay hotel on the Lizard Peninsula, has updated its tasting menu with an assortment of summer-inspired dishes designed to give diners a taste of some of the best the season has to offer.

Commenting on the menu, Head Chef Joseph Fallowfield said: “At Fallowfields, we focus on delivering the very best locally-sourced seasonal dishes which means regular menu updates are needed as we chop and change the ingredients we use as the seasons develop.

“Now we’re full swing into the sunny months, we wanted the menu to showcase a selection of ingredients that range from beloved summer favourites to some unique options exclusive to our location. Our goal is to leave diners yearning for just one more bite.

“We create our dishes from the ground up, focusing closely on several key ingredients; with this approach, nothing beats fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.”

The ‘Jewels of the English Sun’ tasting menu features a variety of dishes, examples of which include:

• Miniature sea lettuce loaf with whipped dulce butter
• Cornish mozzarella with heritage tomato, thyme, peach sorbet and peach ash
• Lobster & prawn bisque with carrot, ginger, Fowey mussels and saffron
• Cucumber tart with berries, pistachio macaroon and basil

Fallowfield continued: “The reception we’ve had from diners at Fallowfields continues to blow us away. We’re in an isolated location on the very tip of the coast and to see increasing numbers who are making their way down just to try our food is fantastic.”

The new menu joins another recent change to the hotel’s food offering, Seafood Sundays, which swaps out the traditional Sunday roast for something a little more coastal-inspired with a selection of lobster and seafood dishes taking the spotlight.

The long tasting menu is £65 per person or £110 with paired wines. The short tasting menu is £45 per person or £70 with paired wines.

Fallowfields is open from Wednesday to Saturday evenings with bookings available from 6pm – 8.30pm.

The ‘Jewels of the English Sun’ tasting menu is available now at Fallowfields. Reservations can be made online via https://www.houselbay.com/eat-drink
