Scotland-born chef, Adam Handling, is expanding his horizons beyond the bustling streets of London with the opening of his second pub in Cornwall.
Named "The Tartan Fox", this new establishment is set to join the ranks of Handling's successful ventures in the UK hospitality sector.
The 400-year-old grade II listed building, previously known as Carvynick House, will house The Tartan Fox and promises a unique dining experience for visitors.
Rich History Meets Modern British Cuisine
With its origins dating back to the 1600s, this historic pub will showcase zero-waste modern British food, much like Handling's first pub, The Loch & the Tyne, and his Michelin-starred restaurant, Frog by Adam Handling, in London.
Set amidst lush countryside between Newquay and Truro, The Tartan Fox will seat 90 covers across two floors and boast a bar, wine room, restaurant, two private dining rooms, as well as an extensive garden area for guests to enjoy.
Sustainability at the Forefront of the Tartan Fox's Mission
Inspired by Handling's Scottish roots and the surrounding Cornish woodland, The Tartan Fox is named after a group of foxes called an "earth".
This name symbolizes the pub's commitment to sustainability.
Local produce from in and around Cornwall will be sourced for the menu, with the possibility of growing ingredients from the pub's garden space in future seasons.
The interiors of the Tartan Fox reflect its earthy roots, featuring natural materials such as stone and wood, and focusing on warm earthy tones.
The much-anticipated opening of The Tartan Fox, Adam Handling's second Cornish venture, is scheduled for June 4th, 2023. This remarkable establishment, housed in a 400-year-old grade II listed building, will add another exceptional feather to the Scottish chef's cap in the UK hospitality sector. With its commitment to sustainability and showcasing zero-waste modern British cuisine, The Tartan Fox promises an unforgettable dining experience for visitors, making it a must-visit destination for food lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
