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 o

f 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.

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.

A little break from the showers today, and the terrace is open ☀️

Come down, grab a table and make the most of it while the sun’s out. Good food, a bottle of something Cornish and a spot on the terrace.

We’d love to see you. 🌿

A little glimpse of the team at work.

There’s a lot that goes on between the kitchen and your table, especially when the restaurant is in full swing.

Good food, a busy service and a team that keeps everything moving.

We’re open today and across the weekend. Come and join us at Fern.

Paul, somewhere between the kitchen and the dining room.

One of the things we love about Fern is the open feel of the restaurant. The moment you walk through the door, you can see straight into the kitchen and catch a glimpse of Paul and the team at work.

The kitchen is very much part of Fern, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

There’s something rather lovely about a sunny afternoon at Fern.

Good food, a bottle of w**e on the table and nowhere else you particularly need to be.

Lunch, dinner, drinks or a few plates to share. Come and find us tucked away in the Cornish countryside, just outside Bodmin.

We’d love to see you. 🌿🥂
