Gourmet Weekends

Foodie Breaks

At Budock Vean Hotel & Spa we have an enviable reputation for serving fantastic food all year round, and this goes into overdrive at our special spring and autumn Gourmet weekends.

These have been successfully running for over 20 years and these fabulously foodie weekends are a chance for our chefs, led by Head Chef Christian Jordan, who has been part of the Budock Vean Hotel & Spa family for almost 30 years, to really show off their skills.

A Cornish Celebration

Our next two-night Gourmet Weekends take place on

Friday 28th to Sunday 30th November 2025

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.

Local Produce

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.

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!).
