Celebrated chef Michael Caines is to take over The Cove at Maenport, a beach front restaurant just outside Falmouth, Cornwall.

The restaurant will re-launch with Caines in charge in March this year, following a light refurbishment

The restaurant will offer a “relaxed and informal approach to dining”, serving morning coffee, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner, with menus designed to attract families, locals and holidaymakers.

Cornish produce will of course be at the centre of proceedings, though the informality appears some way detached from Caines’ otherwise more refined, high-end approach. Lympstone Manor continues to boldly please.

The property will join The Caines Collection, which otherwise comprises Lympstone Manor Hotel near Exeter, a consultancy at Kentisbury Grange Hotel, the Coach House by Michael Caines, and his newest venture in Exmouth launching this summer.
