Review Karrek - Rock

Incredible! My wife and i dont normally like tasing menus as it can be very slow, a bit poncy and one still feels hungry afterwards! We ate at The Karrek though last night and had the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing and OMG! It really was incredible. Each course was perfect, the wine couldn’t have gone better with the food, we received a proper sized glasses of wine each course so have a bit of a headache this morning, and the service was impeccable - special thank you to Matild and your other colleague, we can’t remember her name, for looking after us and making the whole experience so enjoyable We are already looking forward to returning and couldn’t recommend the restaurant and staff highly enough Warm regards Peter & Corinne Cunningham

Wow! This really is sensational. From the views across the estuary, the elegant dining room, to the very gracious and knowledgeable service from Marco. But the food is the star (and I’d be amazed if they don’t get one soon). Not a single dish disappointed, with a keen eye on local, primarily fishy, ingredients. Whether it was the fantastic amuse bouches, including a remarkable tiny mackerel taco with caviar and “fish and chips”, the scallop with a lovingly prepared sauce Jacqueline, a remarkable risotto with oysters and mussels, the saffron rich bouillabaisse or the stunning “lemon and honey”, the cooking was of the very highest quality, bettering many of the one- and two-starred restaurants we’ve eaten in. We had bottles of Chablis, Condrieu, an Oregon Pinot Noir and a Sauternes which were all young but delicious. There were four of us, don’t judge! Head chef Martin and sous chef Lydia are destined for greatness, so make a beeline now before the secret gets out and it takes months to get a table. We’ll be back in no time. Tonight would be great.

A 9 course gastro delight accelerated with a first class cabin matching wine flight There is a largely undiscovered culinary gem in Rock, Karrek housed within The St Enodoc Hotel on Rock Road in Rock Cornwall. The resident chef is Guy Owen of The Great British Menu who delivers an amazing culinary journey over 9 courses with a matching wine flight. The food is delicious, the ambience is sophisticated yet still relaxed managed expertly by Marco. If you enjoy fabulous food Karrek needs to figure on your must book list it’s up there with the other super chef venues in the camel estuary.
