THE TARTAN FOX IN CORNWALL WAS ADDED TO THE MICHELIN GUIDE FIVE MONTHS AFTER OPENING The Michelin Guide has recently announced the addition of The Tartan Fox, chef Adam Handling MBE’s Cornish pub, to the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland. The Tartan Fox is Adam’s latest opening in Cornwall, following its launch in June this year. The Tartan Fox, located in the idyllic countryside between Newquay and Truro, is Adam’s second venture in Cornwall, joining his restaurant and bar Ugly Butterfly in nearby St. Ives (also featured in the Michelin Guide). The Tartan Fox marks Adam’s second pub opening, following the launch of award-winning The Loch & the Tyne in Old Windsor in 2021, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand earlier this year. Adam Handling MBE says: “I’m super honoured that The Tartan Fox has been included in the Michelin Guide, especially having only been open for just under five months. Even more so, I’m proud that it’s somewhere in Cornwall. It’s the most incredible place, there are so many amazing restaurants and venues in Cornwall and I’m very proud to be a part of it.” Located in a 400-year-old Grade II listed building that sits on 30 acres of land, The Tartan Fox embodies Adam’s approach to zero-waste, modern British food, underpinned by the philosophy of ‘Sustainable, local luxury’. All produce used at the pub is locally sourced from in and around Cornwall and the mouth-watering menu features elevated versions of much-loved pub classics, such as fish and chips served with mushy peas, curry and tartare sauce and smashed beef burger with Cornish gouda, truffle mayo and fries. It’s a great location to host a wedding. Smaller affairs can enjoy the semi-private dining areas. There are two different experiences to choose from, where couples tell the team their favourite dishes which are then created, or they can enjoy what’s on offer from the restaurant team. www.tartanfoxpub.co.uk www.instagram.com/tartanfoxpub What’s new? https://johnherseystudio.com/about FRIEDA AND THE MOON, NR LOOE This stunning venue is set within 13 acres. The wedding studio opens out on to three terraced circular lawns and gardens with stunning views stretching over the Cornish countryside. The paddock perched above houses the unique accommodations including The Tabernacle, an exquisite tiny home with a stained-glass Moon Window and The Observatory, clad in copper with a hand-crafted oak interior with a large sky window above the bed for stargazing. The wedding studio is a timber-framed sanctuary with a slate roof, Italianate ceiling, oak floors, wood-burning stove, and a stunning, stained-glass feature - The Ocean Window. It’s also home to the Stargazy Pie Café Horsebox, where champagne can be served after the ceremony. Most ceremonies take place here in the wedding studio which can hold up to 12 guests plus the happy couple, musicians, photographers and the registrars – plus an alpaca or owl as a ring-bearer! If the weather is good, couples can get married on the three lawns which represent the Celtic Triad from the Celtic wisdom tradition: tranquillity, wisdom, and kindness. Couples can also get married in the hornbeam circle, a magical candlelit grove in the nearby woods. These ceremonies are usually held at twilight and are for elopements or very small groups with the reception hosted inside the wedding studio. Receptions take place both in the wedding studio and out on the lawn, depending on the weather. After the reception, couples can move up to their accommodation and enjoy the hot tub, or sit around a fire under the stars. www.friedaandthemoon.co.uk www.instagram.com/friedaandmoon Paul Waterman https://johnherseystudio.com/about LOCAL VENUES 27
