We reveal what’s new for eco-friendly weddings Sustainably chic THE TARTAN FOX OPENS WITH A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY Chef Adam Handling’s newest Cornish pub, The Tartan Fox has opened in Newquay. Guests are welcomed with menus that have been created using the best Cornish produce and Adam’s signature zerowaste ethos, just a short distance from Adam’s stunning coastal restaurant, Ugly Butterfly. Located in the idyllic countryside between Newquay and Truro, the new pub benefits from a spacious garden, which Adam and his team plan to use throughout the seasons to grow as much of their produce as possible, making the field-to-fork journey just a matter of steps. The team have already begun harvesting and picking their edible flowers, wild fruit, herbs and vegetables for use in the dishes, whilst working with trusted local suppliers who they have established relationships. The new a la carte menu takes inspiration from sister pub, The Loch & the Tyne, continuing Adam’s visionary approach to zero-waste, modern British food, underpinned by the philosophy that is consistent throughout each of his restaurants; ‘sustainable, local luxury’. The menu revamps classic pub fare, offering refined dishes made with outstanding Cornish produce, with a touch of Adam’s Scottish influence. It includes smaller dishes such as beef tartare with St. Ewe yolk and crispy potato, Cornish crab cocktail and Adam’s signature dish Mother. Larger dishes include roast rump of lamb with peas, mint and asparagus, hake served with white beans, chicken butter sauce with steamed mussels, lemon and lobster sauce. The grill section also offers whole grilled lobster and a selection of ever-changing steaks from their dry-ageing meat fridges. Desserts are just as enticing, with chocolate pudding served with sour cherries and a deep-fried Mars bar with frozen honeycomb in homage to Adam’s Scottish roots. His famous King’s trifle, a guest favourite at The Loch & the Tyne, is now available to try in Cornwall, created by Adam for HRH King Charles III’s Coronation. The Tartan Cubs menu is also available for little foodies. Adam wants to encourage young people to be inquisitive when it comes to food, so offers the option for them to ask for smaller portions of any dishes on the menu. The name The Tartan Fox is inspired by Adam’s Scottish roots and the location of the pub, which is nestled in the middle of a Cornish forest and, much like a fox’s home, is a den to escape in the countryside. A group of foxes is called an earth, which ties into his group’s commitment to sustainability. Adam has transformed this 1669-year-old building, stripping it back to its original beauty and bringing as much earth inside as he can. This is reflected in the pub’s interiors which feature earthy tones and natural materials including stone and wood, taking inspiration from the 400-yearold Grade II listed building’s heritage, which sits on 30 acres of land. The real excitement is the antique barn at The Tartan Fox, which will be used for supper clubs and beautiful weddings. The wedding offering at the pub will be something magical and chef Adam has promised he will cater for everyone that books. www.tartanfoxpub.co.uk TREGENNA CASTLE RESORT CONTINUES ITS SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE TREGREENER’WITH TREE PLANTING CELEBRATION IN HONOUR OF THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY As Tregenna Castle Resort commemorates 250 years of timeless hospitality and scenic beauty, it proudly announces its latest endeavour in sustainability with a Tree Planting Celebration. In alignment with its commitment to environmental stewardship, the resort will be planting an additional 250 trees across its sprawling 72-acre resort. This initiative, part of the Tregenna 250 anniversary celebration this year, symbolises the resort’s dedication to leaving a lasting impact for generations to come. By introducing a diverse range of tree species including English Oak, Field Maple, Hornbeam, Beech, Silver Birch, Crab Apple, Cherry and Lime, Tregenna aims to enhance the natural landscape while reaping the numerous ecological benefits that the trees provide. “Planting trees is not just about enhancing the beauty of our surroundings; it’s about investing in a sustainable future,” said James Parker, operations director at Tregenna Castle Resort. “As we mark this significant milestone in our history, it’s essential for us to reflect on our responsibility to the environment and take proactive steps towards conservation and preservation.” Trees play a vital role in mitigating climate change, improving air quality, and fostering biodiversity. Through this tree-planting initiative, Tregenna Castle Resort aims to: •Combat Climate Change: Trees act as natural carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. •Improve Biodiversity: By providing habitat and food sources for various plant and animal species, trees contribute to the richness and resilience of ecosystems. •Improve Air Quality: Trees filter pollutants from the air, releasing oxygen and creating a healthier environment for guests and wildlife. “We invite everyone to be a part of this meaningful 250-year celebration,” added James Parker. “Together, let’s grow a greener future and ensure that Tregenna Castle Resort remains a beacon of sustainability and natural beauty for the next 250 years and beyond.” For more information about the Tree Planting Celebration and other Tregenna 250 events, visit https://tregenna-castle.co.uk SUSTAINABILITY 53
