Gourmet Weekends

Friday 28th-Sunday 30th November 2025

Foodie breaks at our hotel in Cornwall

From £275 per person

Our chefs will be cooking up a storm and working closely with local suppliers to create dishes which complement the wines they are served with – the sort of attention to detail which has drawn guests back again and again to Gourmet Weekends run by Budock Vean & Spa for more than twenty years.

What to expect

Includes:

  • Two nights’ accommodation
  • Five-course gourmet dinner, coffee and selected wines on both nights
  • Full English breakfast
  • Unlimited golf, swimming, sauna, outdoor hot tub, tennis and snooker

Our chefs plan menus that shine a light on Cornish produce. Working with local suppliers and the finest seasonally available ingredients, they will craft five course meals for Friday and Saturday evening using a variety of cooking styles to produce something that really is quite special.

Each course is accompanied by specially selected wines that have been specifically chosen to be enjoyed alongside the flavours of the food and the evening will include some fun, educational and fascinating wine facts.

And it’s not just about great food. Budock Vean Hotel & Spa's Gourmet Weekends are curated with great care and attention. Of course you can expect wonderful food and wine, but you can also expect a really friendly, relaxed and happy atmosphere where you can enjoy a weekend away in South Cornwall.

Your weekend gives you chance to try out the hotel’s parkland golf course, explore the gardens and ground that spill down through wooded paths to the Helford River. Or perhaps enjoy a walk along the coastal footpaths, or an adventurous kayak adventure to discover Frenchman’s Creek. Either way, there’s lots to do to build up an appetite (or walk off a spot of overindulgence!).
