All Things Festive
A taste of christmas magic at Talland.
Its The most wonderful time of the year!
Christmas in Cornwall is incredibly special!
Every seaside town resembles a Dickens novel, with plenty of festive decorations and carols being sung. However, being Cornish, we also have some of our own special traditions - Here are some of our own Talland Traditions!
An Experience Like No Other
We all love Christmas at Talland. From Mince Pie’s to Pigs in Blankets. Even better is the local traditions! That’s why we only use local Cornish produce.
Our kitchen team, led by Glen Meriott, selects seasonal ingredients, freshly caught, picked, churned, fermented and plucked. With a flourish of imagination, they create exceptional and inspirational dishes.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy our Festive Menus. Afternoon Tea every day from 13:00 to 16:00. A la carte from 18:30 & our Festive Feast menus for larger groups accompanied by Christmas crackers & poppers to set the tone!
WE take drinks seriously
We don't just pour drinks, we study them like alchemists. Our curated menu is packed with delightful surprises, from quirky craft beers to sassy artisanal cocktails, and a wine list that's anything but ordinary. Our people are ready to help select your perfect match, whatever the mood, season or food.
Head Chef Glen Merriott
Our head chef Glen Merriott has risen through the ranks here at Talland, starting as a humble kitchen porter in 2009. He worked under our previous Head Chef, Nick Hawke as Senior Sous for six years, before rightly earning the top job. He loves using classic techniques to create intriguing dishes, which always makes Cornwall’s produce the main star.
OUr Suppliers & partners
We’re a bit in love with all the brilliant local people who supply our kitchen. They are the unsung heroes behind every delicious bite you take. The fishermen, farmers, cheesemongers, butchers and wine merchants all make the magic possible.
By sourcing most of our food locally, our food is fresh and tasty. Plus we are proud to support our neighbours, who are doing fantastic work.
