A haggis Scotch egg on a Cornish pub menu is either very confused or very deliberate, and at The Tartan Fox it's very deliberate. Adam Handling's gastropub sits inside a stone country inn tucked into a forest on a caravan park outside Summercourt, which is a more charming setting than that sentence suggests. The kitchen leans on local Cornish producers while threading in Scottish touches throughout a generous, changing menu. The cheese doughnuts have become something of a signature.
