About Us
From Hayle to the Med and Back Again
Tucked beside the calm waters of the Hayle Estuary, The Terrace is more than just a place to eat, it’s a reflection of the people behind it, the town that shaped it, and the flavours that inspired it.
Run by Stuart and Hannah, The Terrace has grown into one of Cornwall’s most loved dining spots. After living and cooking in Italy and Portugal, the couple returned home to Hayle to open The Italian Kitchen. Eight years ago, they launched The Terrace, a new venture blending the bold, simple flavours of the Mediterranean with fresh Cornish ingredients.
Good Food | Good wine
Fresh, Local Ingredients—Always
Our commitment to quality begins with our ingredients. We work closely with trusted Cornish suppliers to source the best steaks, seasonal veg, and local seafood. Our drinks list has been curated with care, pairing perfectly with the dishes we serve and the moments they’re shared in.
Food, People and Service That Matter
We believe in cooking that makes people happy, service that feels genuine, and food that celebrates where we are. Whether it’s a quiet weekday lunch or a buzzing summer evening, our team is here to make every guest feel welcome. What really sets The Terrace apart is the people who make it work. Many of our team members have been with us since day one, retraining, learning and growing alongside the business. Their energy, commitment and sense of pride shine through in everything we do.
A Space for Every Occasion
From relaxed lunches and evening cocktails to birthday dinners and spontaneous drop-ins, The Terrace is built for moments big and small. Our estuary-side setting brings calm and charm in every season whether you’re catching a summer sunset or warming up after a coastal walk.
