Gather over a long table on the beach for a wood-fired feast with Cloudy Bay, our New Zealand winery hosts.
We’re inviting you to the first of its kind at Watergate Bay to share great food and good company, accompanied by live music and the sound of the ocean.
Whilst dining on the sand at the north end of Watergate Bay beach, you will start with an oyster masterclass from Katy Davidson ‘The Oyster Lady’ and a glass of Cloudy Bay Pelorus an elegant sparkling wine, that will then lead onto three-course supper by Ben Quinn from Canteen Cornwall.
Award-winning local Porthilly oysters over fire and on ice, paired with a glass of Cloudy Bay Pelorus sparkling wine. Oysters expertly shucked by Katy Davidson – aka The Oyster Lady, a pioneer in oyster culture who's been curating oyster experiences for 20 years.
Katy will serve oysters poached in their own shells and 'oyster liquor' on a barbecue with beautiful flavours including garlic butter and rosemary, or “a roast dinner in a half shell”.
Start with smoked feta with hot honey, smacked cucumber, Szechuan and tahini on Canteen flatbreads.
As the sun begins to set feasting platters of smoked lamb butterflied, with salsa verde, will be delivered to the table straight from the barbecue. Smoked aubergine and pickled mushrooms, will be the vegetarian and vegan option. All accompanied by bowls of creamy borlotti beans with wood-roasted tomatoes and smoked garlic, and a fennel and tomato salad with pink onions and Mother’s Garden olive oil.
