The Dining Experience at Chateau Chartwell in Cornwall

Independent living is all about the freedom to make choices that work for you, including sitting down to a wonderful meal with friends and enjoying excellent food served by warm and professional staff who know you well. That’s the dining experience at Chartwell Chateau Cornwall, where every meal is prepared with care and consideration of residents’ palates and preferences. Our chef sources as many fresh, local ingredients as possible through our third-party suppliers, creating delicious and wholesome from-scratch recipes. You may be enjoying a garden salad, citrus-glazed pork tenderloin with apple chutney, and a homemade butter tart (and fresh fruit) one night, or tucking into a delectable marinara pasta on another specially themed Italian night. Beyond our featured daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, you can also indulge in our à la carte menu, offering residents’ favourites and much more.

You’ll love the warm atmosphere in our dining room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to a green vista, the perfect place to meet friends. If you’re feeling hungry during the day, stop by our bistro for a freshly prepared snack or coffee or tea—and be prepared to chat too! You’ll also be able to welcome family or friends into our private dining room for special dinners and celebrations.
