With daily-changing seafood specials, The Hare has transformed a characterful country pub into a culinary destination people travel from afar for.

Launching this April, The Hare’s Fruit de Mer platter is a celebration of the Cornish coast, designed for two to share.

It features Porthilly Rock oysters with mignonette, native Cornish lobster, Perrin Sands whole dressed crab, St Austell Bay mussels, crevettes and pink prawns, all served with fresh lemon, shallot and red wine vinegar, and classic aioli.

Everything is responsibly sourced from Cornwall and delivered ship-to-plate within 48 hours, ensuring exceptional freshness throughout.

The Hare’s daily-changing seafood menu is at the heart of the offering, shaped entirely by what lands fresh from Cornish day boats via Flying Fish, and championing seasonal, responsibly sourced British ingredients.

Priced at £95, the platter is available for a 72-hour pre-order via phone on 07395 774383 or email at info@themiltonhare.co.uk.

The pub is open Monday to Saturday from 12pm to 2.30pm and 6pm to 9pm, and on Sundays from 12pm to 8pm, with the bar menu served all day.

“We thank river users for their patience and understanding.”

An initial opening date of Thursday, April 16 was pushed back after the extent of the required repairs was discovered.

Contractors put together a floating pontoon and crane assembly which allowed the lock gate to be partially lifted and put back into place by a crew.
