OGO AT BEDRUTHAN HOTEL & SPA OPENS The Scandi-inspired retreat Bedruthan Hotel & Spa is thrilled to announce its new restaurant concept, Ogo (translating to ‘Cave’ in Cornish) which is inspired by the coastline’s natural bounty. Menus emphasise a commitment to delivering high-quality seasonal ingredients. From beach foraging for edible seaweeds and berries from the clifftops to working with local fishermen for their daily catch, Ogo showcases the best hyper-local produce in the region. Located within Bedruthan, a hotel and spa in Mawgan Porth, Ogo takes the place of the former restaurant The Herring. Head chef George Richardson’s passion for showcasing the best of Cornish produce is reflected through partnerships with handpicked local suppliers and farms who share his commitment to sustainable practices. Focussing on in-season produce, the daily changing menu will vary according to the season and retain a focus on provenance: from what the boats bring in each day along the South coast, to foraged ingredients from the surrounding countryside. George Richardson tells us, “We are pleased to bring Bedruthan’s principles of sustainability and provenance to life on the plate at Ogo, and delight diners’ palates with authentic flavours that represent the spirit of the community.” Highlights from the dinner menu include steamed Cornish brill with champagne, mussels and sea herbs; and Mora Farm confit courgette with basil, olive oil and tempura flower. With the choice of dining outside on the dune-side terrace, diners can share smaller dishes combining ingredients from Cornwall’s coast, gardens, and fields, such as native oyster with house-fermented hot sauce and pickled green chilli; grilled hand-dived scallop with wild garlic butter and crispy sourdough; and pickled Cornish mackerel with Mora Farm rhubarb and elderflower. All dishes are perfectly paired with a selection of organic wines, including locally produced Polgoon Pinot Noir Rosé and Trevibban Mill Harlyn. For an indulgent afternoon tea experience, the restaurant’s chefs have created their own take on the much-loved traditional Cornish afternoon tea, offering savoury options such as smoked salmon and crème fraîche on a beetroot tin loaf and cucumber on white pain de mie. This is followed by a tempting sweet course of blueberry, lemon and white chocolate macaron and local strawberry and elderflower choux buns, with a choice of local fizz and teas. www.bedruthan.com/ogo-at-bedruthan THE DUKE OF CORNWALL HOTEL, PLYMOUTH This magnificent hotel, Plymouth’s first luxury one is positioned adjacent to Millbay Park which offers a fantastic green space that’s perfect for big-day photographs.
