"Friday 25th August 2023, My husband and I we saw a sign for a 17th Century Seafood Inn at Cadgwith Cove, and so we decided to explore this further. A steep narrow lane winds down to a small cove, divided by a small rocky promontory. Thatched stone cottages cluster round the beach. It is a working fishing port and local fishermen catch mainly crab and lobsters out in the bay and these are sold at the fish market on the quay. We parked the car in the car park at the top of the hill and took the path down to Cadgwith Cove. The path wound through a wild flower meadow and then down through the thatched cottages, even through gardens on the way to the cove, a very idyllic place with pastel coloured cottages and lovely cottage gardens. A flight of steps brings you out opposite the harbour quay, with its brightly coloured fishing boats and buoys, nets, chains and winches used in the catching of lobsters and crabs. Cadgwith Cove Inn was a lovely thatched inn, with a lovely outside courtyard, where you could sit and eat in the sunshine; they also have a nice indoor restaurant. My husband and I had a nice table for two inside. The restaurant is oak beamed and has pictures of seafarers and boats and plaques about boats which have been lost to sea in the cove. We perused the small but interesting menu; it had lots of lovely fish dishes on it and we ordered our food. We both had starters; my husband had scallops and I had crab pate served with brown bread and butter. The starters were delicious and were just the perfect size to get the palate started. My husband for his main course had the prawn, hake and monkfish curry served with rice, which he said was delicious. I had lobster thermadore served with a nice crispy salad and buttered new potatoes. The lobster was to live for and I had lots of fun excavating the meat, so all that was left was a pile of sculpture like shells. The meal was delicious. We washed all this lovely food down with a nice chilled bottle of Chardonnay white wine. We both had a dessert; my husband and I both had the dark chocolate and almond torte, which was sex on a plate and seductively delicious but lovely and light and was perfect finish to our meal. We did not bother with any teas or coffees afterwards as we were both well fed and very content. After our meal we went outside to listen to the locals singing ‘Sea Shanties’, there were lots of people there and it was nice to be part of this wonderful celebration."
