�There's no such thing as an ugly butterfly, in the same way as there is no such thing as food waste." So says Scottish-born Adam Handling, who has delighted the culinary world with his commitment to making exquisite dishes with zero food waste. True to his cause, Ugly Butterfly combines ingredients sourced from growers, farmers and fishermen across Cornwall into ingenious plates, served in a glass-walled dining room strung with dried flowers. Located above the golden sands of Carbis Bay beach, Ugly Butterfly is a unique fine dining spot where using as much of every animal and vegetable is as important to the chefs as serving up all-bells-and-whistles dishes is. Start with local oysters and finish with a �Food fight� (chef Adam Handling�s winning dessert on BBC�s Great British Menu), with courses such as hogget with Jersey Royals, and Cornish brill with mussels in between. There will almost certainly be some playful elements too (hello dry ice!) so be sure to bring your camera.�

With its roaring fireplace and flagstone floors, the 300-year-old Ferryboat Inn is a cosy place to tuck into some decent pub grub. It's sat on the North Helford Passage on the waterfront and surrounded by woodlands and lush fields, making it not only dog friendly but incredibly picturesque too. On sunny days you can sit on the terrace and soak up the glorious views, but when winter arrives, beside the fireplace is the place to be.

Down in one of my favourite areas of Cornwall (Helford river), the Ferry Boat Inn is perfectly placed if you’re doing the beautiful riverside coast path walk along from Durgan. There’s outside seating (and of course plenty of space on the sand to sit with a drink too!) that looks out over the river and across to the Lizard peninsula. Visit the Ferry Boat Inn website

This trendy family-run pub is full of rustic charm and provides a splendid beach-side setting for drinking and dining al fresco. Talking of food, the menu here is the real star of the show. From small plates (think tempura prawns and fish tacos), to crispy mac and cheese and fish and chips, we think it's one of the best pub menus in Cornwall.

Dating back 300 years, The Ferry Boat Inn sits on the edge of the beach at Helford Passage. Thanks to its waterside position, you can look out over one of the most beautiful views in Cornwall whilst enjoying a drink or delicious meal. The Ferry Boat serves a tasty menu of homemade pub classics, alongside fresh, locally caught seafood dishes.

The magical Ferry Boat Inn enjoys one of Cornwall’s most idyllic locations with beautiful views across the timeless Helford Passage. The pub sits in a beautiful unspoilt cove with direct access to the beach and water and is surrounded by wonderful local walks along the South Coast including the nearby Trebah Garden.

Like something plucked from the pages of Swallows and Amazons, the Helford River is truly beautiful. Walk your dog down by the water and then reward yourselves with a hot meal in The Ferry Boat Inn, watching boats come and go along the river. Dog-friendly Helford cottages

The 300-year-old Ferryboat Inn’s riverside location means you can take in the view of the Helford Estuary as you dine. Stop by for a cosy Sunday lunch or hard-to-beat fish and chips and feel yourself unwind with every bite.
