About this business

CJ’s At The Sanctuary is a family-run restaurant nestled in a beautifully converted former chapel in Budock Water, near Falmouth. The space retains a unique character with its airy, bright interior and welcoming vibe, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for popping in for a casual meal or a special occasion. The focus here is on fresh, quality Cornish produce with a menu featuring everything from steaks and fresh seafood to hearty Sunday roasts, which many guests rave about as some of the best around. Generous portions and locally sourced ingredients keep the food tasting just right, with wine from local suppliers rounding out the authentic Cornish dining experience.

This spot suits all kinds of visitors—from families to couples looking for a cosy supper. The team behind CJ’s is a true family affair, with Paul in the kitchen, Sarah running front of house, and even granny making the puddings, adding a personal, homey touch to the whole experience. Friendly service and a menu catering to varied tastes, including accommodating dietary needs, mean you can expect a warm welcome and something delicious, whether you fancy seafood linguine, pork belly, or homemade pavlova. It’s a real slice of Cornwall’s best, served with heart.
