Considered the finest Sunday lunch in Cornwall

It is no exaggeration to say that The Nare serves what must be the finest Sunday lunch in Cornwall.

Rooted in tradition, it is a four-course tribute to the Great British roast – a champion rib of beef carved by chef from the silver trolley, it is by any standards an elegant, fine dining experience. Sitting in the dining room overlooking Gerrans Bay, with stunning sea views on three sides, makes for a repleat and relaxing Sunday afternoon by the fire. Home comforts never felt - or tasted - so special. 

Served every Sunday afternoon from noon to 2.30pm • Residents and non-residents most welcome

A Sunday roast with Cornwall at its core

The Nare's Sunday lunch is Cornwall in four courses. It is a feast of Cornish flavours, served with a generous helping of traditional Cornish hospitality. 
Hors d'oeuvres, hand-picked West Country cheeses and delectable puddings are presented tableside. The finest cuts of beef and lamb, sourced only from local farms, are carved at the table by the chef accompanied by crisp, fluffy roast potatoes and glistening carrots. And, of course, fish and vegetarian options for those with special dietary requirements or a taste for the fruits of the sea. 

This generous, traditional luncheon is served every Sunday in the Dining Room and is available throughout the year.

Local flavours from local farms

The Nare's chefs follow a simple philosophy. To serve a great Sunday roast in Cornwall, one needs freshly cooked, high-quality Cornish ingredients. 
They need not look far to find them. Cornwall's culinary larder is renowned for its quality and abundance – from same-day seafood to farm-fresh fruit, meat and vegetables. 
Wherever possible, the hotel's kitchen team makes full use of this culinary bounty. That includes supporting local farms and only using the finest cuts of Cornish-reared beef and lamb.
