Food lovers are being offered a rare chance to experience Michelin-level cooking in Cornwall this October, as MasterChef: The Professionals 2024 winner Dan Merriman teams up with Chef Carla Jones at The Idle Rocks, St Mawes.

The one-night-only event takes place on Saturday 25th October 2025, promising an eight-course seafood tasting menu showcasing the very best of Cornish ingredients.

A Unique Collaboration

Guests will enjoy a carefully crafted menu split evenly between the two chefs, with four dishes each. The evening begins with a welcome drink and canapés, followed by the seafood-led menu featuring produce from St Mawes and local day boats.

There will also be an optional wine flight, and guests will have the opportunity to meet Dan and hear about his MasterChef journey.

Tickets are priced at £140 per person, with limited availability.

The Idle Rocks, home to the Reef Knot Restaurant and known for its scenic waterside location, is also offering a luxury add-on. Their Culinary Indulgence Weekend includes a two-night stay, both dinners, breakfast and a gift, starting from £880 for two people.
