Sunday Lunch at Bodmin Jail Hotel 

If you’re searching for a Sunday dining experience in Cornwall that goes far beyond the ordinary, the Bodmin Jail Hoteloffers one of the most memorable—and truly unique—Sunday lunches you’ll find anywhere in the county. Step inside the hotel’s breathtaking Chapel Restaurant, where lunch is served from 12pm to 4pm, and you’ll instantly understand why this venue is unlike any other.

The setting alone is enough to make your visit unforgettable. Housed within a meticulously restored historic chapel, the restaurant is filled with dramatic stone architecture, soaring ceilings, and original heritage features that celebrate the building’s storied past. Soft lighting and thoughtful design touches bring warmth to the grandeur, creating a dining atmosphere that feels both luxurious and steeped in history. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger—whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself to a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Of course, the food is just as impressive as the surroundings. Guests can indulge in a traditional Sunday roast, crafted with care and packed with flavour, or choose from equally satisfying vegetarian alternatives. Every roast is served with all the classics: perfectly crispy roast potatoes, towering Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and rich homemade gravy. It’s comfort food elevated, using quality ingredients that highlight the best of local produce.

Make sure to save room for dessert, because the Chapel’s sweet offerings are worth the anticipation. The menu often includes indulgent favourites such as sticky toffee pudding, decadent chocolate desserts, and warming seasonal crumbles—the perfect way to round off a slow, relaxing Sunday meal. (PLEASE NOTE: menu options may vary slightly from week to week.)
