A big welcome to The Kernow Shellfish Kitchen  – dishing up the freshest Cornish mussels, sourced sustainably.

Sourced from the clear waters of St Austell Bay and supplied by a local fishmonger just down the road, these mussels are the real deal – local, seasonal, and packed with flavour. Think classic Moules Marinière with white wine and garlic, or a rich, warming Cider & Bacon broth made with Cornish cider and crispy pancetta.

Every bowl is served with crusty bread, fresh lemon, and plenty of heart. Fresh. Local. Full of flavour.

Get to know the team behind The Kernow Shellfish Kitchen before indulging in a bowl of mussels with a glass of wine in the courtyard.
