The good things to know

A little more
about the place.

Jude Kereama’s tasting-menu restaurant now occupies a dedicated space within its sister venue, Kota Kai, overlooking Porthleven harbour. Cornish ingredients meet influences from his Māori, Chinese and Malaysian heritage. The two restaurants offer distinct experiences, so select Kota when booking for the more structured, multi-course evening menu.

Kota now shares premises with Kota Kai, with its own dining space and menu.
