Tucked away on Cornwall's rugged and beautiful North Coast, Bude is a charmer of a town that every culinary enthusiast should visit. This coastal gem is a veritable Mecca for foodies, with a rich and vibrant restaurant history that pays homage to both the traditional British palate and the more innovative tastes. To say that this Cornish town has a thriving seafood scene would be an understatement; the local eateries are famed for their plump mussels, fresh crab and lobster, served straight from the day's catch. The legacy of Cornwall's seafaring ways is beautifully kept alive in Bude's kitchens, and there's a brilliant sub-culture of restaurants and pubs that champion organic and locally-sourced dishes. Ranging from the long-established to the innovative newcomers, Bude's restaurant scene is a feast of flavours, influenced by its coastal geography and rich agricultural hinterland. The town's gastronomic history is steeped in pasty baking, a tradition that continues to this day, with several pubs and eateries vying for the acclaim of having the best pasty on the coast. However, over the years, Bude's food scene has evolved to accommodate a variety of cuisines, offering everything from fine French dining to Californian-inspired dishes. Particular mention deserves the warm, inviting interior of local seafood institutions which often prides itself on a daily changing menu, keeping regular customers guessing. But the distinguishing feature, whether you're tucking into a hearty traditional Cornish breakfast or experimenting with an Asian-fusion course, is that underlying note of local provenance that is so characteristic of Bude's food culture.
