Couch's Great House Restaurant

About

Couch’s Great House Restaurant offers a refined British dining experience set by the River Camel in the picturesque fishing village of Polperro. Since opening in 2004, the restaurant has been led by Chef Richard McGeown—trained under the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and Raymond Blanc—bringing a blend of contemporary cuisine and traditional Cornish flavours. The menu highlights a four‑course set meal priced at £79, showcasing locally sourced produce and seasonal specialties, while also offering vegetarian and gluten‑free options. The atmosphere combines rustic elegance with a riverside terrace, creating a relaxed but intimate setting for couples, food lovers or families with children over seven. Although the restaurant does not allow pets or children under seven, service is attentive and the wine list features a curated selection of English and continental wines. With opening hours from 6:30 pm to 11:00 pm on weekdays, it’s ideal for evening outings and special occasions.
