Formally the Grove, this restaurant is now under new management, with the kitchen under the capable leadership of the former sous chef. The restaurant is light and airy, with modern decor, rural views, a garden, outside dining in summer, and has no musak.
They have an ambitious offer of morning coffee, lunch, cream teas, and dinner. This is a rare fine dining option in the Helston area. A recent lunch saw my party enjoy starters of tempura battered king prawns, and chicken, avocado and pancetta salad (both £4.25). We majored on mains of roasted pork belly with celeriac mash and bok choi; and duck leg confit (£10.95 and £9.95 respectively). These came with a choice of potatoes (the Mediterranean ones with garlic and rosemary were excellent), and a mixture of vegetables. We were finished off with fresh fruit pavlova. The whole meal, with wine, was £25 per head. Service is friendly and efficient, and waiting times reasonable (although they weren't busy). While the food lacks a little in imagination or intensity of flavour, this is really an excellent standard for the price. read more
