The Nare is home to not one but two exceptional dining experiences, both with a longstanding reputation for fine dining excellence. This is Cornish food and Cornish hospitality at their finest, with menus celebrating local ingredients and served in one of the most spectacular settings. Moments from the beach, the hotel is just as renowned for its panoramic sea views as its exquisite British cuisine.
The Dining Room – classically traditional, formal and alive with culinary theatre. Or The Quarterdeck à la carte restaurant, where the freshest seafood is served simply and elegantly. Come for the famous Dining Room Sunday lunch, a finely curated evening dinner or an afternoon tea with a sea view. Whatever the occasion, it soon becomes clear why both are considered among the finest restaurants in Cornwall and why diners return time and time again.
The gastronomic heart of The Nare – and a renowned dining room in its own right. Expect traditional cuisine, dramatic flambés, fine wines and sea views on three sides.
The most delicious seafood with the best sea view. This seafood restaurant makes the most of Cornwall's abundance of local seafood and creates an alternative, more relaxed, seaside atmosphere to the Dining Room.
Indulge in traditional homemade scones with clotted cream, delicate patisserie treats, neat sandwiches and a selection of speciality teas. Accompanied by one of the finest sea views in the country, afternoon tea at The Nare is an experience worth savouring.
Guests at The Nare are invited to experience a long-running hotel tradition. Served daily, the residents' afternoon cream tea is much loved by first-time visitors and returning guests alike. Expect scones, a choice of local jams, clotted cream and a freshly baked cake every day.
For families seeking child-friendly dining near St Mawes, The Nare offers several dining arrangements tailored to the palates of its younger guests. This also allows adults to enjoy a more refined and grown-up dining experience in the evening.
Begin the day with breakfast overlooking the golden sands of Carne Beach. Served in The Dining Room, where panoramic sea views accompany every freshly prepared dish, it is a wonderfully relaxed way to start the morning.
For a little extra indulgence, enjoy breakfast in bed, with freshly brewed coffee and breakfast favourites delivered to the room, allowing guests to savour the spectacular coastal setting from the comfort of a private retreat.
The Nare's menus celebrate good, local ingredients, ripened and reared by Cornwall's unique subtropical climate. Expect a curated selection of modern and traditional dishes, as well as gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.
The Nare not only hosts two of the most renowned restaurants in Cornwall, but also one of the region's most carefully curated wine lists. The hotel's extensive wine cellar is packed with classic and interesting wines from around the world, selected with the experience and insight of proprietor Toby Ashworth.
Also included are several of the best wines from local vineyards, which owe much of their success to the subtropical climate enjoyed on Cornwall's South Coast.
Special occasions call for spectacular food. Private dining at The Nare offers an exclusive culinary experience tailored to individual tastes and exacting requirements. That means the full attention of the hotel's famously attentive staff, and all the time needed to savour the food, the views and the moment.
