The Business:

The Falmouth Arms is owned and run by Kevin and Jill Viner, who have a significant heritage in hospitality and fine dining. Kevin achieved the first Michelin star for Cornwall and has a deep CV for culinary achievement, coming back to his home county in 2017. Run very much to suit themselves and from only 5 trading sessions, there is evident opportunity for growth of the existing business and to plan expansion into the underutilised grounds. The business will continue and be sold with the building, copies of trading accounts made available to interested parties following a viewing and providing proof of funds.
