Whether you are looking for a five
course meal, a cheeky cocktail or
simply a snack on the run – this first
publication of
has all
the best ingredients.
48 Looking forward
Cornwall’s culinary heritage has been
commonly linked to the Cornish pasty
and coastal treats such as fish and
chips. However, over the years Truro
can boast an ever expanding range of
eating and drinking experiences,
making it one of the best gourmet
destinations in Cornwall.
t
What makes Truro a special
gourmet destination is the shear
diversity of its offer – from Cornish
celebrity chefs creating top quality
dishes using the finest local
ingredients through to a punnet of
chips or pasty on Lemon Quay to
refuel during a day’s shopping.
There are plenty of places for
families to eat out and during the
summer months a collection of
Truro’s eateries offer outside seating
areas for relaxing in the sun.
If you’re planning to catch a show at
the Hall for Cornwall, many restaurants
also offer pre-theatre menus.

One Eyed Cat
A wonderfully converted, Grade 2 listed 19th Century
Chapel, lying in the heart of the city, The One Eyed Cat
is Truro’s only Bar and Brasserie and has played a
central role in putting the city back on the culinary map.
Under the experienced management team of Brett
Holmes and partner Louise West the One Eyed Cat
has become synonymous for its great food, friendly
staff and relaxed atmosphere. With Head Chef Dave
Trewin and his team dedicated to supporting the
fantastic range of local food and drink producers in
Cornwall, food at the One Eyed Cat is firmly focused
on freshness and flavour.
HOW THE ONE EYED CAT
GOT ITS NAME
Before it opened its doors for the
first time, the owners had a desire
to ensure local fish was always
included on its menu. When it
came to giving the venue a name,
someone heard the lyrics to Rock
Around the Clock by Bill Hayley
and his Comets: "I'm like a One
Eyed Cat peeping in a seafood
store" and the name stuck.!

“I really enjoy the
challenge of creating
menus from the variety
and often unusual
ingredients I am offered
each week by my local
suppliers, rather than
taking the easy option of
just buying in ready
prepared produce. I read
a review by a customer
recently which said expect

is what I work hard to
achieve”
