The arrival of autumn means shorter cooler days, and a transformation of colour along the clifftops and coastline. With new seasonal produce available to forage, both of our restaurants and bar welcome new autumnal menus.

It’s easy to forget that Housel Bay has been standing amugst the cliff tops since 1894. Though it’s outer shell remains untouched, the inside tells quite a different story…

The berry season officially starts on the 1st May, but a cooler spring slowed the growing process of many of our favourite seasonal favourites. This led to strawberries flowering and ripening a little more gradually… resulting in larger, juicier, and even more tasty British strawberries. And we are sure to be making the most this delicious British berry!

Positioned on Lizard Point, built to guide vessels passing through the English Channel. Seen as the welcoming beacon to many returning to England; this is the iconic Lizard Lighthouse.

Summer has officially arrived on our plates here at Housel Bay. This new, bright, fresh season ‘brings with it a host of new ingredients for our chefs to play with.’ Some of our Head Chef, Joe’s, favourites are ‘asparagus, broad beans and strawberries.’

As you may already know, we have created a brand new space at Housel Bay, the ‘Studio’. A space designed for a moment of meditation, self practice yoga and calm.

An ‘Old Fashion’ is a cocktail classic, and the inspiration behind a new addition to our spring drinks menu in Marconi’s Bar. Our Head Chef, Joe, describes how ‘Whiskey has always meant fire’ ever since his ‘first ever inquisitive sip at a tender age.’

As we get set to re-open on May 17th, we talk all things Spring, foraging and food with Joesph, our Head Chef. Have a read about what inspires our new Spring menus at Fallowfields.

Eating with the seasons is a huge part of who we are at Housel Bay. We welcome the changing seasons, and our menus are inspired by our local ingredients and what we can forage along the coast.

During this third lockdown we have been working on some new and exciting projects behind the scenes while we have been closed. From building renovations, new spaces and also a new Housel Bay shop. Have a read of what we have been up to so far….

We are so pleased to say Housel Bay Hotel is a Trencherman’s Award finalist in the Best Trencherman’s Hotel category!

We generally associate swimming in the sea with hot summer days, where swimming is simply the perfect way to cool off. But did you know plunging into cold water has many health benefits?

We would love if you could take a moment to vote. It has been a very challenging time for hospitality, and these awards will be a much need lift and encouragement to all the amazing restaurants and hotels, and hardworking people who make them.

Our philosophy at Housel is simple. We work with the best local suppliers to attain the best ingredients. We then create dishes which reflect the care and dedication which created these ingredients to begin with.

In conversation with Joseph Fallowfield, our Head Chef at Housel Bay, talks about the wonderful ingredients in season in Winter, and what inspires his dishes this time of year in our signature restaurant Fallowfields.

It’s the start of a brand new year. Let’s start a fresh and energise the darkest and coldest months ahead. Together we can brighten up winter.

Following the latest tier changes we are really sad to be closing our doors again. We were so looking forward to welcoming our guests for a special New Year’s. Anyone with bookings, please bear with us, we will be contacting everyone in the coming days.
