In 2020 The Cavendish had a bit of a refresh with a brand new team and a brand new menu. Alex Povall (ex-head chef at The Oystermen) now oversees the kitchen and in a nod to his old place he has oysters on the menu served with a range of dressings. He’s also got as dishes like beef tartare with horseradish & black sesame crackers; grilled Cornish mackerel with apple, elderflower & wood sorrel; braised rabbit & cep pie; Gloucester Old Spot pork cheeks with butter-roasted celeriac; wild seabass with braised fennel in spiced mussel & saffron broth; and glazed Tahitian vanilla custard tart with poached blackberries on there too.
