Four Cornwall establishments have been included in the SquareMeal Top 100 UK restaurants list.

The highest-placed restaurant on the list was Paul Ainsworth at No.6, which finished in 10th position.

It was joined by Argoe Newlyn (32nd), Coombeshead Farm (52nd) and Outlaw's New Road (73rd).

SquareMeal is the UK’s leading independent restaurant guide and deliberately excludes London restaurants to allow venues from around the UK to be recognised.

Speaking about the list SqaureMeal said: "Each of the top 100 results are a unique combination of our own in-house critic-led opinions and thousands of diner votes.

"It’s this dual approach that makes our list incomparable, representing not only our professional opinion but thousands of real-life experiences that help to reinforce and bolster our final decisions.

What did SquareMeal say about the Cornwall restaurants?

In describing Paul Ainsworth at No.6 SquareMeal wrote: "Paul Ainsworth operates a number of restaurants in Cornwall, but this Michelin-starred spot has got to be the jewel in his crown, where it serves an exciting, story-led menu that champions locally sourced Cornish produce."

The restaurant has been highly acclaimed over the past few years, and also has a 5/5 rating on Tripadvisor from 3,270 reviews.

It has also been well-received on Tripadvisor, earning a 4.5/5 rating from 84 reviews.

Praise for Coombeshead Farm came for its chef Tom Adams as well as the "exceptional produce" that is grown on the farm and used in the dishes.

In fact, everything you eat at the establishment is produced on the 66-acre farm, from fruit, bread and even meat.

Coombeshead Farm is well-rated on Tripadvisor, earning a 4.5/5 overall score from 101 reviews, and you can even book to stay the night there if you desire.
