Hang 10 Spotlight – The Star & Garter
Star and Garter
The maritime outpost of Falmouth continues to win over new fans with its spirit-of-the-sea infused charms. And on the town’s quirky high street is the Star & Garter, one of the destination’s oldest pubs, constantly delighting travellers and locals alike with its fresh concepts and contemporary, yet super comfortable, surrounds.
The Star & Garter’s acclaim is all down to the efforts of thirtysomethings Elliot and Becca Thompson. When Elliot and Becca reopened the doors of the legendary establishment, which has stood since 1892, their plan was to turn the dated drinking den into one of the West Country’s premier gastropub destinations. They have most certainly succeeded. The Star & Garter is now loved by locals and visitors and has been lauded by fellow chefs and critics alike.
Interior design by multiple award-winning agency Absolute, the quirky décor mixes satisfying dark hues across tongue-and-groove with textural tiles with luxurious leather and velvets alongside a wood-burner and vintage pictures sporting Falmouth scenes from by-gone days.
The restaurant has a swathe of accolades and awards including ‘Best Foodie Pub in the South West’ and runner-up for Best Sunday Roast in the Observer Food Monthly Awards, and an ongoing listing in the Good Food Guide. Founder and owner Elliot Thompson has taken the helm in the basement which serves as the pub’s ever-bustling kitchen. Elliot’s quest for perfection never ends and he remains determined to ensure the pub stays forever on top of its game, using only the best local produce to produce big, bold, flavours, inspired by countries spanning the Mediterranean.
With a nose-to-tail philosophy underpinning his ethos and a woodfired oven at the heart of the kitchen, Elliot’s passion lies in a back-to-basics approach that produces sumptuous dishes with nods to the likes of France and Italy to the west and Greece and Lebanon to the east.
‘Food is at its best when it’s not mucked around with and when you’ve got produce as incredible as we have in Cornwall, it’s hard to go wrong’ said Elliot. ‘Simplicity is at the heart of Mediterranean cooking and, done well, can lead to stunning results. We want to capture that spirit at the Star.’
