The wait is over. Mackerel Sky’s pop-up is now serving at the Buttermarket!

Straight from Newlyn to Redruth, Nina and Jamie are bringing their much-loved take on Cornish seafood to the courtyard, with fresh fish, local shellfish and small plates packed with flavour.

Think famous crab nachos, crispy lemon sole with katsu curry sauce, salt and pepper squid and plenty more, depending on what’s fresh from the sea.

Seafood lovers, this one's for you. Come hungry, grab a table and see what’s on the menu today.

Let’s give them a proper Buttermarket welcome!

A little bit of building work, and a very good temporary bar!

We’ll be closed on Tuesday 20th (all-day) and Wednesday 21st October (until 4pm) for lunch and coffee while we get some work done around the Buttermarket, and will be back open for kitchens serving again on Wednesday evening!

Then we’ll be back open as normal, but with a slightly different bar setup while Earles Bar cellar gets a little revamp of its own.

The wonderful Verdant pop-up bar will be taking over the bar space for the rest of the week, serving up the same great selection of beers you know and love - just from a rather good temporary bar.

Our Earles team will still be behind the bar, so bear with us while we get everything sorted. We’ll be back to normal by half term, with a refreshed cellar ready for the busy week ahead.

Thank you!

You might have spotted some of the heritage stories popping up around the Buttermarket, with Redruth’s markets dating back to 1333.

From our timeline and restoration photographs to posters, QR codes and little snippets of the past dotted around the building, there are plenty of stories to discover.

They’re all part of helping uncover the history of the Buttermarket, the building and the people, markets and stories connected to it.

Want to dig a little deeper? You can explore more of our heritage research on our website using the link in our bio.

And as more interpretation appears over the next few weeks, have a read, scan the QR codes and let us know what you think by filling in our interpretation feedback form.

Cosy season has arrived at the Buttermarket!

We’ve added new outdoor heaters to our covered courtyard, so you can keep settling in for food and drinks even when the temperature starts to drop.

Grab a blanket, pull up a table, get cosy and feast your way through the kitchens with your favourite people.

Hot plates, cold drinks, warm courtyard. Autumn at the Buttermarket just got a whole lot cosier.

Come hungry. We’ll keep you warm.

October evenings at the Buttermarket with acoustic music, good food and a cosy courtyard.

Our Sundown Sessions continue every Thursday, with brilliant local musicians, street food from our independent kitchens and drinks from Earles Bar.

And we’re really happy to have long-time Buttermarket musician Sam Lisle taking over the running of our live acoustic evenings, which you can follow over at .

Sam has been part of the Buttermarket soundtrack for years - from busking in the courtyard and playing at Redruth Town Markets to becoming a regular on the rug stage. So it’s pretty exciting to have him helping shape what comes next.

Come for the music, stay for the food.

Every Thursday | From 5.30pm
