Let the chef take the strain
Why not hire our local caterers to cook for you. Either as a one off or for the whole week, they will prepare tasty food using local ingredients, either in your own cottage or cooked and ready to eat when they bring it round.*

Local Food
Farmers Markets are a good source of local food and are very popular so its best to get there early. We include lists of all available farmers markets & what days they are on. You will also find a comprehensive guide to farm shops, great butchers and the best sources of fresh fish to help you get the best out of your holiday time.

Restaurants & Pubs
These days, what is the difference between a good pub and a good restaurant. Pubs become more formal, restaurants less so.

We are interested in enjoying a good meal. Again you will find our comprehensive guide to our local heroes a real short cut to enjoying great meals.

Drink
Although Cornwall has  a justifiably good reputation for brewing, its wine has been somewhat neglected. From the large brewers like Sharps to the local micro-brewery Ring O’ Bells in Launceston, some great beers are being brewed.

Wine – wine making in Cornwall & Devon is on the up. We recommend a visit to Sharpham (Devon) or Camel Valley & Ruan Ridge in Cornwall to taste fine locally produced wines.

* Please note that our catering service is not available at Glendorgal Sands which has a restaurant on site



Food and Drink in Cornwall

There are some great local restaurants and pubs near all of our copttages with details on them waiting for you. In addition we have catering services and our own "internet farm shop" to make your holiday that bit more special.

You can order fresh local cornish food delivered directly to your cottage before you arrive using www.food4myholiday.com . All it’s products are locally sourced and they will deliver and unpack them ready for your arrival.

  • No worrying if you are going to arrive on time to let the supermarket delivery man in
  • No "substitutions" that are completely irrelevant to the product you wanted
  • Great local food and some real gourmet delights

We also include a guide in all our cottages to start you on your personal gourmet quest. The list is constantly changing and we are sure you will enjoy adding your own finds. Each cottage has its own visitor’s books with useful hints from previous guests, with their personal likes or dislikes

Convenience – If only life were so simple that we could survive simply through local producers! In many of our cottages, the major internet supermarkets deliver. We also have one of the country's best wine merchants delivering on a regular basis. Majestic wines deliver on select days only, but we are more than happy to hold your delivery for you until you arrive.
