In early summer 2023, the team will open their new collaborative ‘force of nature’ proposition at harbourhouse, setting a new standard in Cornish hyper-local dining and hospitality. Tamara Costin created the original restaurant, bar and café, beachhouse, on the National Trust-protected South Milton Sands in the South Hams. Alongside her partner William Speed, she opened schoolhouse, situated at the heart of the wild and enigmatic Flete Estate, garnering food critic acclaim and a cult-like local and national following. The couple recently announced their purchase of the former Seven Stars pub in the pretty Cornish village of Flushing. They are currently reshaping the free house building which is set right on the waterfront. Alongside Jeffrey’s appointment, they are also announcing the evolution of the Flushing establishment’s name, harbourhouse, that honours the centuries-long history of marine trading. Tamara Costin says, “Cornwall has been on our list for a very long time and one of our favourite dining destinations has always been The New Yard Restaurant. Now with Jeffrey joining us at the rechristened harbourhouse, we’ve had an immediate meeting of minds, philosophies and passions, and our coming together is like a simple, but certain, synergy.” Jeffrey Robinson has been executive chef of The New Yard Restaurant and The Pantry on the Lizard Peninsula in southwest Cornwall since 2016 which became one of the first restaurants in the UK to be awarded a green Michelin Star for gastronomy and sustainability practices, alongside a 3 Rosette achievement. There are still only 23 green Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK, and Jeffrey has focussed on serving his take on modern Cornish cuisine using ingredients grown on his own farm which were created using a philosophy of permaculture. Jeffrey says, “I have been looking for the right opportunity to grow my sustainability-focused practice and, as if by design, Tamara and William came along at this critical juncture. I’m so inspired by the opportunity to build the new harbourhouse kitchen together, to co-develop our shared passion for hyper-local sourcing and to push Cornish cuisine.” To find out more, visit https://beachhousedevon.com NEW HEAD CHEF AT SCARLET HOTEL, CORNWALL The Scarlet Hotel has appointed Jack Clayton as the latest head chef of the hotel’s sea view restaurant in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall.
