At MINE in Falmouth, familiar British classics are served with elevated twists using the best Cornish produce. The team at MINE aims to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a casual and friendly feel.
The space is decorated simply with wooden accents and furniture that give it a homely feel. There is also an open kitchen overlooking the dining room allowing guests to watch the chefs at work. All these elements work together to create the atmosphere that MINE pioneers, one where conversations are struck up between strangers and guests feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. In the summer months, this ambiance extends to the outdoor terrace set within their cobbled terrace that feels private and secluded but is also flanked by two bars that give the space an energetic feel. The whole space can also be rented out for private events and celebrations.
MINE’s menu varies week by week but is always comprised of a meat, fish, and vegan option for each course. This includes starters like grilled leeks, hog’s pudding scotch eggs, and Cornish mackerel tartare. These are followed by inviting mains like their confit chicken leg served with purple sprouting broccoli, a fillet of Cornish hake with haricot bean cassoulet, clams, and veloute as well as pan-fried gnocchi with roasted squash, Cornish mushrooms, and nanny Muffet cheese. For those who fancy something sweet to finish off their meal, there is Swiss roll served with poached rhubarb and clotted cream, chocolate and cherry trifle with pistachio butter and brandy custard as well as a Cornish cheese plate for guests without a sweet tooth.
Like the food on offer the wine list is concise and curated and is designed to perfectly accompany the food. The bottles range from conventional classics to the more unusual. Nevertheless, they are all perfect to enjoy when having a casual dinner, drinks or a celebration at MINE.
