Serving modern British dishes made with local Cornish produce, Fern offers relaxed dining, seasonal flavours, and a true taste of the South West. Nestled in the heart of Nanstallon, Fern is a new restaurant and bar inspired by the beauty, bounty, and changing moods of Cornwall’s seasons. Our food is guided by flavour and designed to evolve — reflecting the moment, the produce, and the creativity o

f our kitchen. We believe a menu should never stand still; it should grow, adapt, and surprise, offering something new each time you visit. At Fern, we aim to create more than just a meal — we’re building a relaxed, welcoming space where great food meets good company in a visually stunning setting. Whether you’re here for a leisurely lunch, a cosy evening meal, or a celebratory gathering, you’ll find an atmosphere that encourages you to linger, savour, and share. From vibrant spring greens to the rich, comforting flavours of autumn, the character of each season shapes what we serve. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, balancing creativity with a respect for the natural flavours of each ingredient. Fern is a place for locals and visitors alike — a meeting point, a conversation starter, and a destination for those who appreciate relaxed dining with depth and personality. We want to put Nanstallon on the map for food lovers by offering an experience that feels both rooted in its surroundings and open to new ideas. Our name reflects our ethos: just as a fern unfurls over time, our restaurant will continue to grow and evolve, shaped by the people who cook here, the guests who dine here, and the seasons that inspire us. Welcome to Fern — a new chapter in Nanstallon’s food story.

There’s something rather lovely about a sunny afternoon at Fern.

Good food, a bottle of w**e on the table and nowhere else you particularly need to be.

Lunch, dinner, drinks or a few plates to share. Come and find us tucked away in the Cornish countryside, just outside Bodmin.

We’d love to see you. 🌿🥂

Crab tartlet, avocado, grapefruit and dashi.

A lot going on in a few bites. Sweet crab, creamy avocado, sharp grapefruit and the savoury depth of dashi.

A pretty good example of the sort of food Paul loves to cook at Fern. 🌿

Summer at Fern 🌿

Tables out in the garden, a glass of something cold and a few little extras arriving from the kitchen.

Whether you're joining us for lunch, dinner or just making the most of a sunny afternoon, the garden is a pretty good place to be.

Last Friday was a special one.

Fern, Camel Valley and Flying Fish came together for an evening celebrating some of the very best food and drink Cornwall has to offer.

From the vineyard tour at Camel Valley, to drinks and snacks on the terrace at Fern, followed by four courses from Paul paired with Camel Valley w**es.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the teams at Camel Valley and Flying Fish for making it such a brilliant evening.

Here’s a little look back at what we got up to.

Tonight’s the night.

We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests for a special evening with Camel Valley, Flying Fish and Fern.

The glasses are polished, the kitchen’s ready, and Paul and the team are putting the finishing touches to a menu celebrating some of the very best produce Cornwall has to offer.

Here’s a little look behind the scenes before everyone arrives.🍾

A table at Fern is rarely just one plate.

Fresh bread, a cold pint, a proper cocktail and a few snacks to start.

Add a few dishes from the menu and you've got a pretty good afternoon or evening ahead.

Whether you're joining us for lunch, dinner or just a drink and something to nibble, we'd love to welcome you.

Book a table or simply pop in. 🍺🥖🍸
