Falmouth for the weekend. We had booked into Menehay Farm at Falmouth. http://menehayfarm.co.uk/ We had intended to go last weekend but the tail end of various Atlantic storms decreed otherwise. This weekend we hoped would be better weather. It wasn't.
However it was more than compensated for by the meal we enjoyed at Tim's Tapas Bar in Falmouth. You will recall Tim was our expert chef on the recent Harkan River trip to Sweden.
This very popular Tapas is to be found at 43 Trelawney Road Falmouth. It embodies exactly what a tapas bar should be, an eclectic mixture of décor and tastes.
The menu, for a surprisingly small venue was extremely varied. The calamari with house speciality sauce was delightful. Jackie's Beef Bourguignon melted in the mouth. Mike opted for Pollo Pasta. Delicious. We were both as full as eggs. The bottle of Rioja we had drunk, which came highly recommended by Issey Tim's young daughter and waitress for the evening was being consumed at an alarming rate. It might well have been the filled fillo parcels for starters that was our undoing!
How could one refuse the signature dessert, A Turkish Bath Bomb. We didn't.
Perhaps I should have opted for the cheese board.
What would you have done?
If you are down this neck of the woods, get yerself over here, tell Tim the chef Mike and Jackie sent you then sit back for a roller coaster ride of an evening. Two things. It's cash in a flash only and get there by 1830hrs for dinner, leave it till 1845hrs and the chances are all 30 seats will be taken. There is no advance booking.
