The Deck 2

THE DECK /

An afternoon on The Deck is Polperro at its most iconic.

There’s no need to book—simply wander in, find a table or settle into a deck chair beneath the dappled shade of the grand old Angophora trees, overlooking the vines of our Talland Hill vineyard.

Whether you’re lingering over a long-overdue catch-up, sharing a leisurely lunch with friends or simply stopping by for a glass of wine and something delicious to eat, The Deck is designed for afternoons that unfold at their own pace.

Our seasonal Grazing Menu is relaxed, flexible and made for sharing, with dishes that can be enjoyed as a light bite or built into a generous feast. Pair it with a glass (or bottle) of Polperro or Even Keel wine and settle in.

As the seasons change, so does the setting—The Lawn welcomes sunny afternoons through the warmer months, while The Deck provides a sheltered outdoor dining space overlooking the vineyard, ensuring long lunches continue year-round.

The Deck welcomes guests on a first-come, first-served basis. No bookings required. For larger groups over 15, please contact our reservations team.
