In Falmouth, you can find The Meat Counter amongst the seafood restaurants. The restaurant serves up some of the best American-style food found in Cornwall, with the burgers cooked fresh to order and enjoyed with a craft beer or two. The sides are excellent too, the skin-on fries being something we recommend. There are some tasty vegetarian options too!





Craftworks, Truro and Padstow

Padstow has a long of fabulous eateries, including Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant, but if you are after burgers, head to Craftworks. The restaurant began as a food truck, popping up at events such as Boardmasters and the Masked Ball. Craftworks Street Kitchen has since become very popular with locals and visitors alike and has expanded from Truro to another outlet in Padstow. If you don’t fancy a burger, they also serve nachos, tacos and burritos.
