Refined Re-defined Brothers Aly and Ru Cameron became bored with the cut and thrust of the the commercial world and decided on a cunning and daring plan. Throw it all in and move to Cornwall, open a restaurant and see what happens. Chef Aly had previously worked as head chef in restaurants across the south of England, gaining recognition in most major industry guides, including The Good Food Guide, The Michelin Red Guide, and a star in Harden's Top UK Restaurants. Opening his own restaurant was his dream. Front of house, Ru, turned his back on a well-paid marketing career in London to realise his dream. Ru had long posessed a great interest in wine and beer, especially its consumption, and relished the opportunity to further his knowledge in the trade. Having moved to the loveliest place on earth and begged, borrowed and stolen enough money to realise their combined dreams, they came accross a dishevelled looking place above a book shop in the middle of Falmouth... So they bought the lease and created Ratho Wine Bar & Restaurant. Seven months later, tired and beyond skint, on the seventh of July 2007, they opened the now refurbished restaurant. The plan was simple, to provide beautiful food, locally and sustainably sourced wherever possible, all cooked by chef Aly on the premises, and provide a fine selection of quality wines, beers and spirits to suit all budgets. All in a relaxed and freindly environment, with the least pomp and ceremony. "We believe this is what we have achieved." |
