Bid to serve takeaway crab dishes from converted horsebox near Falmouth beach

Crab tacos and king tiger prawns are on the menu should a new roadside takeaway be granted a licence in Falmouth. Mike Lewin has applied for a street trading licence to open the Crab Shack, serving crab and other seafood dishes, alongside vegetarian options, from a converted horsebox trailer. He is proposing to trade from Queen Mary Road at the far end of Queen Mary Gardens, just up from Tidal Coffee. It is just down the road from Gyllyngvase Beach. The area where Mr Lewin hopes to trade (Image: Mike Lewin/Cornwall Council) Mr Lewin hopes to begin trading from the date of consent up until October 31, open seven days a week from 8.30am to 4pm. His sample menu for Cornwall Council's licensing committee includes crab sandwiches, crab salad and crab tacos, alongside whole shell-on king tiger prawns, calamari, smoked mackerel salad and a small selection of ciabattas and wraps, including mozzarella and tomato. He also proposes to serve a selection of hot and cold drinks. Food would be served from a converted horsebox trailer (Image: Mike Lewin/Cornwall Council) Mr Lewin goes on to add: 'Our menu differs from the other two vendors and will only enhance the customer offer.' Already trading from Queen Mary Road are Tidal Coffee further down, and Dough and Dowr, serving bagels and pizzas, at the other end adjoining Cliff Road. Inside the newly converted horsebox (Image: Mike Lewin/Cornwall Council) In his application Mr Lewin states: 'Locally sourced food is paramount to use and we will source crab from the Real Cornish Crab company in Penzance, prawns and other fish from Matthew Stevens in St Ives, meat from RJ Trevarthen in Penryn, bread from Falmouth bakeries and salad ingredients from Falmouth based suppliers. 'Coffee [would be] from Cornish Coffee Company in Redruth, cold drinks from Bookers in Redruth.'
