Experience the solar eclipse over a Michelin-starred dinner
With many expected to head to Cornwall next Wednesday 12th August to catch one of the UK’s best views of the upcoming solar eclipse, I thought you might be interested in hearing about the most luxurious restaurant to experience the eclipse from!
Perched above Fistral Beach at The Headland in Newquay, Michelin-starred Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling’s wrap around floor-to-ceiling windows offer guests one of Cornwall’s most spectacular places to experience the eclipse: panoramic Atlantic views, front-row seats to the changing skies, and a Michelin-starred dining experience that celebrates the landscape visitors have come to see fade into darkness. The eclipse begins at approximately 6.17pm, and reaches maximum coverage at around 7.12–7.13pm before ending at 8.06pm – just over dinner time!
Rather than standing on a crowded headland, guests can watch the eclipse unfold from the restaurant’s terrace or dining room while enjoying hyper-local Cornish dishes inspired by the surrounding coastline. The restaurant’s elevated position overlooking Fistral Beach makes it a natural setting for this rare event, combining dramatic scenery with exceptional hospitality.
