This month’s prize
This month’s prize for our favourite post in our #CornwallTheSeaandMe community social media engagement campaign is an amazing Fish and Chip supper at the wonderful Rick Stein’s Falmouth
This relaxed seafood restaurant in Falmouth has classic fish and chips at the heart of the menu, alongside some of Rick’s favourite dishes such as Indonesian seafood curry, Cornish crab and salt and pepper prawns. They also have a takeaway serving fish and chips, tiger prawns, fish chilli burgers, battered oysters and more.
They take bookings for lunch and dinner (and at busy times such as school holidays they would highly recommend that you do book) otherwise pop in.
