Walter’s on The Beach at Carbis Bay Estate

It’s hard to beat the drama of dinner at Walter’s on The Beach at Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate. Step out of the bright seascape of the beachside terrace and cross the threshold into a space where you’re cloaked in soft lighting and luxury. This is a venue that allows you to blend into the background and let your hair down.

From its funky soundtrack and gleaming cocktail bar to a menu crammed with culinary surprises, everything at Walter’s screams ʻlet the good times rollʼ.

Exec chef Andrew Houghton has created a menu of well-executed, internationally inspired dishes, which includes intriguing options for those who like to inject a little je ne sais quoi into their dining experience.

Experience his penchant for delivering the unexpected in dishes such as a starter of fresh lobster sandwiched in a giant macaron – an intriguing yet successful pairing of the French confection with the briny sweetness of shellfish.

Mains provide further cultural mash-ups. Try the light and delicate flavours of ChalkStream trout paired with the Japanese notes of umami-rich bonita sauce, encased in the puff pastry of a British wellington.

Carbis Bay Hotel & Estate offers an array of accommodation so you can turn dinner into a full gourmet getaway. The most spectacular are its lodges, built artfully into the hillside and with direct access to the privately owned beach.
