an emotional experience

The best food is an emotional experience. It excites our senses and fills us with delight. One of life’s true pleasures. At Talland Bay we’re committed to a dining experience that moves you. 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 two menus served Monday to Saturday. On Sundays we serve our Sunday Roast menu all day and evening.

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.
