Cornish produce sits at the heart of the reimagined Beach Hut menu, and is a key part of our renewed sustainability focus. Classic Beach Hut dishes have been reinvented, firmly anchored by provenance and location. We're championing our local food heroes, and sharing our classic recipes, including a few secrets from head chef in the Beach Hut kitchen.
Crab bucatini
Longstanding classic, firm favourite and our most popular dish for over a decade, you might say our crab bucatini has a cult following. Learn to make it at home with this recipe straight from the Beach Hut kitchen.
Cornish crab
Local Newquay fisherman, Buck Beckett catches our Beach Hut crab right off the Watergate Bay shoreline. If conditions on the north coast aren't favourable, then we'll often use The Cornish Crab Company. on the south coast. Cornish brown crab comes from healthy stock and fishing with crab pots allows for undersized and berried females to be returned to the water unharmed.
Shroom burger
Cornish Gouda, homemade mayonnaise with St Ewe eggs and a burger bun sourced from just over the hill at Dabara bakery, our Extreme burger served in the Beach Hut is a very Cornish affair. But it's our new 50% plant-based menu in the Beach Hut that's been paving the way for a few rising classics. Flavours of earthy mushrooms and smoky walnuts are paired with a sweet beetroot relish in our Shroom, beet and walnut burger. Intrigued? Discover the recipe to try your own version at home.
Cheese without air miles
On a small dairy farm in Cornwall, the Spiering family handmake Cornish Gouda using traditional techniques native to their Dutch heritage. They are the only UK company making Gouda, as far as we know... and located just a short distance from Watergate Bay on the south coast near Looe, Cornwall.
