Potluck Cornwall - What's it all about? It's a chance to meet new people (of all ages), make new friends, and eat good food together whilst supporting local Cornish businesses. If anyone would like to join or knows of anyone that could do with getting out and socialising with others, or you have recently moved or retired to Cornwall? or if you know of anyone that is alone, or maybe you love food b

ut your partner doesn't or maybe you have lost friends after a divorce or separation and would like to make some new ones, then Potluck Cornwall might be the answer. Not only do we eat out but we do actual 'potlucks' where each person brings a dish and we share each other’s food, we discover the best Sunday lunches, we go on foraging walks, we have food-related movies nights, we were part of the 2018 Fal River Festival and brought the first Gin Cruise to Cornwall and lots lots more.

Saturday was a feast for the senses as we gathered for an Indian-themed potluck, each guest bringing a delicious homemade or carefully sourced dish. Each person was assigned a different course and together, we created an unforgettable spread.

We started Mandira’s Kitchen chutney's and crackers and Aagrah poppadoms, adding crunch and tang to every bite. Followed by mushroom samosas and beetroot bhajis from Ruby Junes, perfectly crisp and full of flavour. Then came the heart of the meal, homemade fish curry, chicken curry, and dhal, each rich and beautifully spiced. Accompanying these were a selection of homemade sambals—coconut bananas, tomato, onion and coriander, plus a cooling cucumber raita to balance the heat.

And for dessert? Sue’s cocoa nib, pistachio and coconut cream, mango dream, a perfect sweet ending.

What a feast we had. Great food, wonderful company, and a shared love for bold Indian flavours made it a lunch to remember.

Who's up for the next one?

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.

FAQs

What is Potluck Cornwall? A communal dining group where you get to meet new people, eat good food together whilst supporting local businesses. It is also a chance for foodie establishments/ private homes to showcase what they can offer to a group of diners that have probably never dined with them before.

I come up with different foodie ideas/ experiences, hoping that people would like to join me.

Can I come by myself? Most certainly, my events are for everybody. There is a good mix of people, most come by themselves, some come as a couple and some book in little groups. If you do book a ticket for yourself please don't feel that you will be left all alone (I come alone, mostly). I make sure that you are welcomed and I will always make sure that people sit together so there is always somebody to talk to and meet. My hope is that people make new friendships and if you do enjoy my events and return you may start to recognise a few familiar faces along the way.

Am I too old to attend? All ages welcome. My members currently range from 22 - 80+ years, from all walks of life; each with a different story.
