Our Burns Night of 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary.

Thank you to the wonderful front of house team Nick, Toby, Beth, Sommelier Kelvin and the rest of their hardworking team for letting us host our Burns Night with you, and what a Burns Night comeback it was after 5 years.

Everything flowed seamlessly. The attentiveness of the staff, the military precision of the kitchen team headed by Chef Director Jamie Park, and the overall slick operation were a true testament to exceptional training. It’s something that stands out in today’s hospitality scene, and it was refreshing to see true professionalism and passion in action.

And then, of course, the food, the heart of the evening. Each dish was a celebration of tradition and innovation, crafted with the same passion and precision that defined the entire evening.

We indulged in a feast that started with black pudding haggis bonbons, followed by bread and crispy chicken skin butter, and the most divine cheese doughnut. The Loch Duart salmon pastrami with butter pickles was a perfect balance of flavours, but the real showstopper was the brioche baked Orkney scallop with leeks and smoked butter, a dish unlike anything I’ve seen before. Encased beautifully in delicate pie pastry, it had to be carefully shucked open with a knife, releasing a gentle steam that carried the most incredible aroma - simply unforgettable. Thoughtfully, they even provided homemade elderflower spritz for hand sanitisation afterwards.

For the main course, it was a classic Balmoral chicken with haggis, neeps, and tatties, followed by a truly moreish rhubarb cranachan, featuring a mousse cream and delightful pops of pink peppercorn, an unexpected twist that worked beautifully in a sweet dish.

I would like to give a huge thanks to Brandon Tuffery - Bagpipe player, Gary, Peter, Gregor, Natalie, and David, whose contributions made the evening all the more special, from piping in the guests, delivering the iconic Address to a Haggis, heartfelt toasts, and soul-stirring poetry and song, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m beyond grateful for everyone who joined in and to the The Tartan Fox Pub team for hosting us.

I'm looking forward to doing it all again next year. I think Robbie Burns himself would have been proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last night, we ventured to Mousehole for a wonderful 3-course Lebanese dinner at Orange Cafe Bar as part of our Veganuary celebration. The entire menu was completely plant-based, showcasing just how creative and flavourful vegan dining can be.

We kicked off the evening with a refreshing Fentimans Ltd Rose Lemonade with Grenadine and Clean Co no gin on arrival before diving into Adas Bhamoud, a warming bowl of lemony lentil soup with chard. The zesty flavours and comforting textures made it a standout dish paired with baked sumac bread 🤤 (this was my favourite).

For the main course, we enjoyed a Pumpkin & Bulgur Wheat Pie, bursting with spices like chilli, garlic, and coriander. It was served alongside a vibrant warm salad of tomato, onion, and aubergine, a beautifully balanced plate full of flavour.

To finish, we were treated to Spiced Rice Dessert, a rich, aromatic dish served with silky coconut cream, providing the perfect sweet ending to the evening.

This Veganuary, we’re thrilled to invite you to a 100% Plant-based Lebanese Night, hosted in collaboration with the wonderful Orange Cafe Bar in the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole.

Since opening in August 2023, the Orange Café Bar has quickly become a cornerstone of Cornwall's plant-based dining scene. Known for their innovative and delicious menus, Dee, Emerald, and the team are passionate about creating a welcoming space where everyone—vegans and non-vegans alike—can enjoy incredible food.

For our special evening next Wednesday, we’ll be bringing the vibrant flavours of Lebanon to Mousehole, with dishes that celebrate the rich tradition of Middle Eastern cuisine in a completely plant-based way. Whether you’re a longtime vegan or just curious about trying something new, this night is all about great food, warm company, and a shared passion for sustainability and compassion.

Come join us next week as we toast to new beginnings, bold flavours, and a deliciously plant-powered 3 course Lebanese dinner.

Sunday indulgence at Roskillys has hit a new level. My husband has been raving about their roast for ages, and today I finally got to experience it, and WOW, he wasn’t exaggerating.

The puffed pork crackling was an irresistible, salty prelude to a main event bursting with flavour. The pork was perfectly succulent, the beef melted in the mouth, and every element - from the rich, sweet gravy to the expertly prepared veggies was sheer perfection.

And dessert?
A rich Apple and Cinnamon Tarte Tatin paired with creamy Roskillys vanilla ice cream and a crunchy, nutty hazelnut biscuit brittle. The perfect finale to an unforgettable lunch. Well done Chef Tom and team.

If you're a Sunday roast lover, this is a MUST.
Trust me, you’ll leave planning your next visit. It's also family friendly and has the best range of ice cream flavours, and you get to feed the animals, with wonderful walks nearby too. Win, win.

A family favourite that I haven't cooked in a while is a Tuscan sausage and white bean stew. The Waitrose recipe was shared with me a few years ago by a Potluck member. It gets a big thumbs up from my husband because I add chorizo.

We enjoyed another magical evening at the The Lost Gardens of Heligan Night Garden.

Highlights included a cosy stop at the barn for some delicious mulled cider and Pip Organic juice, along with two hearty child-sized portions of Kittow’s hot dogs and wedges—an incredible value at just £7 each. Absolutely worth it.
