The Dining Room

The Nare's Dining Room offers panoramic views of Carne Beach and a formal dining experience that's truly unique. This is a place where five-course, fine-dining tradition meets flamboyant gastronomic theatre. A place all of its own, where panoramic sea views serve as a welcome reminder of Cornwall's breadth, beauty and culinary bounty. It's little wonder that The Dining Room has been awarded 2 AA Rosettes for its culinary excellence.

Come for the famous Sunday lunch, where locally sourced meats are carved at tableside by the chef. Amble down for a freshly cooked breakfast or lavish continental buffet. Or experience the main event – the hotel's renowned evening dinner, where flambés roar, fine wines flow and culinary delights, cheeses and puddings are served on elegant trolleys. 

Evening dining

Served from 6.30pm 

Every evening, the Dining Room shines. This is, for many, the culinary highlight of the day, with a daily-changing table d'hôte menu and a tantalising parade of sights, flavours and aromas. A classic silver-service affair, it is a time-honoured hotel tradition – yet always different, and always an occasion.

Sunday lunch

Served every Sunday from noon until 2.30pm 

The Nare's Sunday lunch is famously good. It is a renowned four-course tribute to the Great British Roast, where the the finest produce is cooked with love and served with a hearty helping of Cornish hospitality.

Residents and non-residents are most welcome.

Family dining

Served from 5.30pm to 7.30pm 

For those holidaying with children, The Nare offers a choice of dining arrangements tailored for young tastes and little appetites. Opt for a children's early summer at The Quarterdeck or dine together in the Dining Room later in the evening.

Please note: children under seven years of age are not expected in the Dining Room after 7.30pm.

Breakfast

Served from 8.00am to 10.00am 

The Nare's breakfasts are just as carefully considered and temptingly delicious as its evening fare. Choose from continental breakfast or a full English in the Dining Room, or – for a small charge – have breakfast delivered to ones room. During the summer months, breakfast is also available on The Quarterdeck terrace.

Cornish food from Cornish farms

The Nare's reputation for fine dining excellence is due, in no small part, to the quality of Cornish ingredients. Here, freshly caught seafood, nutritious crops and succulent, hand-reared meats are abundant, and the hotel makes full use of this bounty wherever possible.
