The Verdant Seafood Bar — Restaurant in England

We were so excited to try here whilst holidaying in Cornwall, saw online they didn't accept reservations so popped in on the off chance last Tuesday, they accomodated us at the bar but there was quite a wait for menus and drinks but that was ok due to their good reviews and atmosphere. I spoke about my allergy, the young lady on the bar wasnt aware what one dish was (raw/cured fish) which my partner would not have chosen if she was given this information (maybe she was new as was quite young) my wife never received the dish due to ridiculous wait times and the mess ups with my order. They were out of the Fal oysters so I had to have the other, which however was fine, they also were out of the Mackerel, alot of things they have sold out of, which is probably because they are rated so highly. I was asking if I could have the scallops without the milk (caper butter sauce) and then to come back and tell me it wasn't made with milk, when I pointed out "butter", anyway they substituted it for a salsa verde. What was most disappointing is they served me the allergen I had made them aware about, there was a long wait for food as well which we were aware (on the taco's), the chef shouted over the pass that he forgot and had put milk in the dish!! I had almost swallowed and had to spit out the food. For someone with a serious allergy or a child this could be life threatening. When the waitress asked him had he made a replacement about 20 mins later I think he had forgot and then they had ran out of that, another member of staff let us go when we said we will just pay the bill and leave, she decided to waiver it. We were so disappointed as we visited here after the main brewery on the industrial estate, probably should have stayed there and had pizza. Verdant is my favourite craft beer. My suggestion is you accept reservations especially if customers have allergies and most have travelled a long way to allow them to experience. Quite disappointed as we had saved a visit until the end of the holiday for a special treat, and by time we left there was no where else for food that night which completely ruined the end of our holiday as lots of places had stopped serving food by this time. My suggestion is if you have an allergy BEWARE as milk allergy should be treated the same as a sesame or a...

We had only heard good things when we visited the seafood bar. We have visited the taproom several times which is nothing short of amazing if you are a beer fan.

The seafood bar was something we have wanted to visit for a while and decided to make a concerted effort and get over to them. We had incredible food, some items we had to order second plates as they needed extra attention. Pair amazing seafood with the delicious beer verdant produce without fail is a winner.

If you do read this and decide to visit you have to try the scallops and crab fries, if you can try everything! Every dish we had was amazing and we left feeling a little upset we hadn't been here sooner with it being on our doorstep.

As far as prices go for three of us with enough food to leave full and an excellent beer for each of us came to just a little over £100. Not cheap but we will not pass up an opportunity to visit.

The staff were excellent and had what felt like a real passion and confidence in what they had to offer which was absolutely supported by the experience we had.

A few stars as a review are not justice for the good thing they have going on here. If you are in town and want something a little different and want a arguably perfect beer you...

This is a destination spot. It is reason enough by itself to go to Falmouth.

A cute little seafood bar with incredible food and welcoming staff by the sea. The vibe from the start with the porthole in the door sets you up for the whole experience as you step in to a hug, (yes) of a dining experience. It's a cosy, snug environment with exceptional beers to partner alongside freshly prepared tapas style seafood dishes.

The shellfish on offer was fabulous and by the end of our visit I had tried most of it, if I'd had room I'd have gone on. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavour and was a delight to eat. We devoured (deep breath) oysters, scallops buffalo prawns, karaage mushrooms and the best fish finger sandwich in the UK, possibly the world. And there was a cute little amuse bouche on arrival as well.

The staff are friendly and attentive, knowledgeable about everything on offer food or drink wise and given that this is an arm of the excellent Verdant brewery, you'd expect nothing less I suppose.

This was the highlight of our trip and I'm planning on...
