While in Falmouth last week we popped into the Seafood bar in town (on one of the days) and had a spot of lunch (see above) This venue is owned by my favourite brewer Verdant and sells their beers and a range of interesting seafood dishes (tapas style) We had a fish-finger bun, crab loaded fries, fish tacos and scallops, my goodness it was delicious, strong flavours and great combinations of ingredients plus (of course) a lovely half of a delicious Verdant beer to go with it all, totally lush.
On a different day we hopped onto the St Mawes ferry and sailed across to that picture perfect little village for some lunch. The venue was a hotel called the "Idle Rocks" which has a very scenic veranda and restaurant. I opted for the fixed lunch menu which included chowder to start followed by sole (see above) with sides of fries and broccoli, then a dark chocolate cremeux to finish, all for £28 which I thought was great value considering the setting and the quality of food, great spot for lunch, thoroughly recommended!
The picture above shows the veranda of the restaurant and the view beyond to the harbour wall and on to Falmouth, a great place to have lunch (when the weather is good!)
One of the disadvantages of staying/living in a seaside town is the noise and waste products from the ample seagulls that also live there. The various families of gulls that inhabit the town centre seem to be screeching at each other for most of the day only stopping when it gets dark and then starting up again at first light. I suppose you get used to it after a while but I can imagine that it gets a bit much sometimes. One day we even saw a Greater Black-backed Gull eating a dead rat, swallowed in one go! It's easy to understand that you're looking at an evolved dinosaur when you see something like that!
