The food at The Pheasant is ingredient led with a focus on British cookery. Our menu changes weekly, sometimes daily, and is dictated by the growers and producers that we work with - they tell us what is at it’s best and we put it on the menu. We believe that a pub is at the heart of the community and therefore we work with ingredients that are grown or sourced as close as possible to our pub. Not only does this mean that we can use produce at its peak, but also that we can support the growers, producers and businesses who are part of our local economy.

We are passionate about vegetable cookery and have the privilege of working with Aral Farm, who are a market garden rooted in sustainability, community and education. Their gardens are intertwined in designed wetland and perennial food systems that nurtures the soil and the people it feeds. They supply us year round with a variety of vegetables, which change with the seasons.

A white plate contains an assortment of sliced radishes, grilled asparagus spears, chopped nuts, and creamy cheese topped with herbs.

Our meat comes from L. George butchers, who are a stones throw from our front door in St Newlyn East. Established in 1912 they have been providing the local community with meat for over 100 years. They are a traditional whole-animal butchery sourcing animals from farms throughout Cornwall.

As a Cornish pub, we feel it only right to have fish on our menu. We are passionate about supporting the Cornish fishing industry, so we only buy fish that comes from the waters around our coastline, this is predominantly landed in Newlyn. We only use species of fish whose stocks are well managed and fished for sustainably, often this means we use lesser-known species, which we find a pleasure to showcase across our menu.

We use stoneground sieved flour from The Cornish Mill, who grow and mill their flour just one mile from the pub. One way in which we put it to use is in the rough puff pastry for our pie, it’s higher bran content gives fantastic flavour and great colour.

On Sundays, to close off the week, we serve a traditional Sunday lunch. We cook beef, chicken or nut roast alongside all the trimmings. This is available from 12pm-3pm.
