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 of 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.

We're carrying on our 1st birthday celebrations next Thursday, 29th October, and we'd love you to come along! 🥂

Join us between 5pm and 6pm for a complimentary glass of something bubbly and a few little snacks from Paul and the kitchen for you to try.

It's our way of saying thank you to everyone who's supported us over the past year, and a chance to welcome a few new faces too!

Just pop in, have a drink, try some food and say hello.

And if you fancy making an evening of it, you're more than welcome to book a table and stay for dinner afterwards.

We hope to see you there! 🌿

From the fig tree to the plate.

Paul's been out picking figs from the garden at Fern, and they've found their way into one of his desserts.

It's a lovely example of how Paul likes to cook, making the most of what's growing around us and turning simple ingredients into something a little bit special.

And if you needed an excuse to leave room for pudding, this might be it. 🍃

We’re back open tomorrow.

Paul and the team have been keeping themselves busy during our little break.

Oh, and did we mention we picked up 3 AA Rosettes...we may have already mentioned it.

Anyway, doors open Thursday. Pop in for lunch, dinner, a drink at the bar or a few snacks.

Come and see us 🌿

We’re back this Thursday, and we’re coming back with some pretty special news.

Fern has been awarded 3 AA Rosettes.

We’re incredibly proud of Paul and the whole team. A lot of work goes into what we do here, from the kitchen to front of house, so to receive three Rosettes means a huge amount to all of us.

After a couple of weeks away, we’re really looking forward to getting the doors open again, getting back in the kitchen and welcoming you all back to Fern.

Open again from Thursday. Come and celebrate with us. 🌿

Christmas get-togethers at Fern 🎄

Whether it’s the work Christmas do, a night out with friends, or just an excuse to get everyone around the same table, we’d love to have you.

Come and talk to us about what you’re planning. For larger groups, we can work with you to create something that suits the occasion, from the food and drinks to how you’d like the evening to feel.

Good food, plenty to drink and a table full of your favourite people.

Get in touch with the team and let’s get Christmas in the diary.

We’re taking a little break.

Fern will close after service this Sunday, giving the team a chance to rest, reset and get ready for what’s coming next.

We’ll be back open on Thursday 8th October, with plenty to look forward to. Potluck, our collaboration with Aral Farm, Christmas and lots more already in the diary.

There’s still time to join us before we close, so come and see us this week.

Then we’ll see you again in October.

A little look around Fern.

Tucked away in the Cornish countryside, just outside Bodmin. Good food from Paul and the team, Cornish drinks at the bar and a lovely spot to spend a few hours.

Come and find us in Nanstallon. 🌿

A little heads-up if you’re planning a visit to Fern over the next couple of weeks.

Our last day before our September break is Sunday 20th September, so there’s still time to come and see us for lunch, dinner or a few drinks before we close.

We’ll then be taking a short break and reopening on Thursday 8th October.

If you’ve been meaning to book a table, now’s a good time to get one in before we disappear for a couple of weeks.

We’d love to see you before we go.
