A wild time

One of Cornwall’s favourite chefs has popped-up on a north Cornwall beach with a new lockdown-friendly restaurant at the former Fifteen restaurant overlooking Watergate Bay

When Fifteen Cornwall announced it was closing at the end of 2019 after a decade, it left a huge gap in Cornwall’s foodie trail. The restaurant with one of the best views in Cornwall reopened in July with Emily Scott at the helm. Emily holds a well earned and impressive reputation heading the kitchen at St Tudy Inn and has brought her relaxed approach to fine dining to North Cornwall.

This summer, together with her partner, Bordeaux winemaker Mark Hellyar, she took over Fifteen, offering relaxed dining overlooking the famous beach.

Always in the kitchen (and difficult to get hold of for interviews!), Emily is all about the food. Her relaxed ‘hyperlocal’ approach is built on an appreciation for the natural world and a meticulous search for the highest quality local ingredients, providing the perfect flavor for our times. Over the summer many of us have adjusted to a stripped back, slower, more gentle way of life, now gathering once again for the simple pleasures of swapping stories together while eating great food.
