Does The Rising Sun Offer Vegetarian Options?
Yes — The Rising Sun offers a wide range of vegetarian (and several vegan) options across the Selkie Cove sharing plates menu, Sunday Brunch, and desserts, including dishes like Yarg Arancini, Roasted Cauliflower, Shakshuka, and Churros with Dark Chocolate & Salted Caramel.
What vegetarian options are on the Selkie Cove menu?
Selkie Cove's sharing plates menu (Wednesday to Sunday) has a strong vegetarian selection, including:
- Yarg Arancini — golden crumbed risotto balls with molten Cornish Yarg, on rocket pesto
- Roasted Cauliflower — with sweet-spicy apricot harissa and confit-garlic yoghurt
- Cornish Potatoes — confit garlic, smoked salt & aioli
- Macaroni Cheese — three Cornish cheeses, béchamel & a crispy panko crust
- Yaki Tomorokoshi — Japanese grilled corn with a sweet-savoury soy & butter glaze
- Hummus & Sourdough
- Smashed Cucumber, Feta & Dill
- Corn Bread & Chipotle Butter
- Kimchi Slaw
- Marinated Olives and Smoked Almonds
Two of the signature dishes also have a vegetarian option available on request: the Papas Rellenas (swap to a garlic mushroom centre) and the Hogs Pudding Corn Dogs.
Is there anything vegan?
Yes. On Sunday Brunch specifically, the Smashed Avocado on Toast and Scrambled Tofu on Toast are both vegan. Several of the Selkie Cove sharing plates (like the Kimchi Slaw, Hummus & Sourdough, and Marinated Olives) are also naturally plant-based — worth flagging to the kitchen when you order so they can confirm.
What about Sunday Brunch?
Sunday Brunch (11am–3pm) has several vegetarian mains:
- Shakshuka — North African baked eggs in a smoky tomato & pepper sauce
- Huevos Rancheros — fried eggs, spiced kidney beans, avocado, tomato, jalapeño & cheddar
- Strapatsada — Greek soft-scrambled eggs with tomato, garlic, oregano & feta
- Garlic Mushrooms on Toast
Plus the vegan Smashed Avocado and Scrambled Tofu options on toast.
Any vegetarian desserts?
Most of the dessert menu is vegetarian, including the Limoncello Tiramisu, Churros with Dark Chocolate & Salted Caramel, and the Affogato. The Cornish Clotted Cream Panna Cotta is set with gelatine, so it's the one dessert on the menu that isn't suitable for vegetarians.
Can the kitchen accommodate other dietary needs?
Yes — the kitchen is happy to talk through allergies and dietary requirements, and asks that you flag anything in advance so they can check ingredients properly before your order goes in.
