Chicama’s food concept is centered on exploring the costal cooking of Peru and enhancing it through more contemporary techniques and flavours. We focus on the wonderful array of seafood and vegetables available to us and go about creating Peruvian inspired dishes of excellence with them; all of the time exploring the umami flavours, reminiscent of the Nikkei and the abundant, vibrant fruits and vegetables from the Amazon
We deal directly with a small community of Cornish fishermen whose families have been working the coastlines of the South West for generations. This relationship is an intrinsic one, for we are given first pick of each day’s haul, which is then sent directly to us from Cornwall for our chefs to prepare.
Our bar exhibits a carefully selected array of spirits with an enlightened focus upon pisco and mezcals. The wine list has been compiled to truly complement the full spread of dishes we serve, from light fragrant whites to full-bodied reds with an additional selection of cheeky sakes that are all available by both the glass and bottle. Our bar team has been trained by an absolute master from the world drinks industry and we inspire and encourage them to create their own plethora of fantastically flavoured cocktails; the very best of which eventually make it onto our drinks menus for our guests to enjoy.
