With options ranging from three to seven-course menus, an evening with Duchy Chef promises a restaurant-quality dining affair.

Just pick a location of your fancy, from your favourite scenic clifftop to a cosy beach nook, and Dine with Iris will take care of the rest. You can also add on additions such as a private yoga class before you eat or live music to accompany your picnic- its truly a Cornish fairy tale scene.
