Walters on the Beach, a designer cocktail bar overlooking a Blue Flag winning white sandy expanse, is the latest addition to the luxury Cornish Carbis Bay Estate.

Offering lunch and diner, cocktails and eclectic bar snacks, it’s already looking like a must-visit foodie hotspot.

The menu is the work of Carbis Bay’s executive chef Andrew Hougton, so we can expect a mix of British classics and international favourites, with copious fresh fish and seafood on the menu, bought daily from the nearby harbour. For those looking for something bite-sized, Cocktail snacks like Little Fish Fingers and Homemade Chorizo and Chicken Caesar Croquettes, provide serious temptation.

The lunch and dinner menus include locally smoked salmon from nearby St Ives, Stargazy Mackerel Wellington, Cornish Fillet of Beef and Butter-Baked Whole Flat Fish. 

Walters on the Beach joins other Carbis Bay Estate gastronomic favourites, including The Gannet, Ugly Butterfly and The Orangery, the latter with its panoramic views of Carbis Bay.

With Godrevy Lighthouse to one side, and St Ives to the other, diners should be in for a highly instagrammable dining experience.
