Our Ethos
Being a rural pub in this beautiful part of the world, we strive to source as many local ingredients from the land around us. We pride ourselves in using quality local produce wherever possible with all of our eggs, dairy, poultry, beef, pork, lamb and potatoes coming from local suppliers in North Cornwall, some of which are farmers from here in Morwenstow. We even have our own herd of beef cattle situated just half a mile down the coastline.

The Proudfoot family took ownership of the Bay View Inn in May 2024, after it had been closed for several months. As locals, they have always loved the Bay View and witnessed its development under different owners over the years. James, pictured in the middle, previously established and developed Whalesborough Cottages and Spa, which was sold in 2023. Seeking a new adventure and already owning fields around the Bay View, James saw this as an opportunity not to be missed. He also runs a seasonal campsite in the adjoining field. Wanting family at the heart of the business, James asked his daughter Annie, a former community nurse, and George, a former builder, to help run the Bay View. Annie, George, and their daughter Marnie embraced the opportunity and moved into the Bay View. The Proudfoot family is excited for the future and hopes to make the Bay View a central part of Widemouth Bay and its surroundings.
