The Barley Sheaf at Gorran

The MO of this attractive Grade II-listed pub is to celebrate all things Cornish. Browse the menus from chef-director Daniel Hyams to discover ingredients foraged, sourced, reared and grown nearby – including in the pub’s garden.

It’s all part of the vision to create the perfect community pub, and one the team would love to encounter themselves.

Daniel took over The Barley Sheaf in 2024, and is building a reputation for crafting deliciously well-executed dishes that reflect the surrounding seascape and countryside.

He has cooked in kitchens across the globe, including various Michelin-starred establishments, and this experience shines through in classic pub dishes, and tasting and à la carte menus. To revel in uber seasonal produce, try From the Garden – a dish packed with the day’s pub-garden pickings (grown and harvested by the chef).

Fish from nearby Mevagissey and Gorran Haven harbours provide the dayboat catch of the day.

The pub’s much-loved scotch egg has been on the menu since day one and, in its present incarnation, comprises a St Ewe Dippy Scotch Egg with a blue-cheese soldier and miso mayo.

Trencherman’s tip

Balmy day? Pick something good from the extensive wine list or line-up of local beers and sip in the garden.
