Food Scene
We love to eat local and below are a handful of eateries that we return to again and again!
The best home made produce! This fabulous bakery has set up its
shop in Newquay, in an A-frame building with the requisite exposed brick, wood burner and open-plan kitchen. It has the most stunning sourdoughs, artisan breads and possibly Cornwall's finest croissants and pains au chocolat!

Throughout the year they host feast and dining evenings mostly on Friday evenings. Each feast is different, from BBQ's and world food menus to wine paired dinners. If the weather is nice then feasts take place outside in the courtyard or around the grounds, for winter and wet weather feasts the vaulted barn is a gorgeous setting too. Wine tours can also be booked as part of the experience, we highly recommend their wine tour followed by their Sunday lunch!
