This was one of many exciting stops on my first 'food tour of Cornwall' with the lovely Laura and Kieran (both of whom are involved with Tasting Britain as writers, and both of whom I now count as good friends).
Located right on the awe inspiring Constantine Bay, Treglos Hotel is a four star, family run outlet that originally dates back to 1895, when it was first built. Originally a four bedroom house which ludicrously majestic sea views, it was converted into a âproper' hotel in 1933 and has been doing the hotel thing ever since. Run by the Barlow family for more than forty years now, Treglos hosts 42 rooms plus a 18 Hole Golf Course & Leisure Club (which we didn't notice because the restaurant is pretty legit and that was where we spent most of our time).
About that restaurant: like almost every longstanding hotel, Treglos has a pretty exciting restaurant attached to it. And this is how we ended up in Constantine Bay, surrounded by talkative old ladies and equally talkative young ladies from Sheffield (and if youâre from up there how the hell do you end up waiting tables on the far south western tip of the UK? The plot thickens)
What to say of said restaurant? For the first time in a long time, I think I was the youngest person in the room - and I am no spring chicken (and also if we discount some of the 'sprightly' wait staff). This is definitely a place with a distinguished, 'retirement' kinda feel to it (i.e everyone is probably older and more wealthy than you). The menu changes daily - which I believe has something to do with the produce being VERY local indeed. Also they donât like it if you dine in the evening (after 7) in shorts or flip flops. True story.
One more thing to mention: The views are goddamn fkn spectacular - on a cloudless day (which we were treated to... thanks Mother Nature!) you can watch the sun and sky transition across various fiery auburn shades, before eventually disappearing beneath the horizon and the flawless azure sea. I will never forget that view. Even if you're just in the bar for just one drink - and that drink is the cheapest on the menu, you too can STILL feel like a millionaire as the sun and the sea and the sky all conspire to do their harmonious, glorious thing. That ambiance and environment are priceless.

I am the wound and the knife!
I am the slap and the cheek!
I am the limbs and the rack,
And the victim and the executioner!
I am the vampire of my own heart.

Sometimes I wonder whimsically what goes through the children's mind as they explore and learn about the world around them- A rock? Two rocks. Let me try to count. Its shape and colour? What is this strange hard texture? Can I eat this? Let me taste this- and the parent comes over and gently teaches him not to put things in his mouth.

Walking the beach with my brother, he fills my head with the wonders of the world. We search the beach for artifacts (well he does, I am too easily distracted by all the rocks and shells, the sound of the sea, the view of the mountains). He knows the best spots to find artifacts, and the best times to find them, what they are made from, how they were used. He knows the types of woods that have washed up on the shores, the names of all the birds I see (see my previous photo Best Intentions for how well I do at that!) Here, he studies a piece of an old Douglas Fir - counts the rings, and explains how you can tell many things from the depth between the rings. A little tree history all contained in this one piece. Always such a joy to spend time with him. Thanks big brother!
