As the North Cornwall coast is now well known for it’s great choice of eateries….abundant with good quality local produce…no longer a region just of pasties, fish and chips and cream teas (although I still wouldn’t miss out on them during a visit)!! And as we love recommending places to you during your stay at Tredarrup. Here are a few new discoveries and offers that come around at this time of year…
FIFTEEN CORNWALL
Enjoy the fantastic view across Watergate Bay…a great place for a leisurely lunch and a walk along the beach and from now until 21st October enjoy their Totally Cornish menu celebrating the very best of Cornish seasonal produce this autumn. Three course lunch for just £19.95.
ODDS
Not one we have got to just yet but apparently it is a beautiful restaurant overlooking wild dunes and clifftops, with views out to the Atlantic ocean - not far from Newquay. A lot of the produce comes directly from their fields (so not many food miles here) and all looks delicious.
The farm boasts 8km of grass resting strips where voles, butterflies, nesting and feeding birds are able to thrive – in fact over 80 species of bird, indigenous and visiting, have been recorded on the farm. Arable crops are protected using nature friendly treatments which allow non-evasive plants to grow, which in turn encourages insects that birds can feed their chicks with. The restaurant and its building design echoes the farm’s conservation theme. The building uses top soil and grass on the roof to increase the insulation and reduce heat loss; a ground source heat pump utilises energy from the soil outside to provide the under floor heating and hot water; the purposefully designed kitchen incorporates energy saving appliances such as an induction hob that heats by magnetism – so reducing power consumption by up to 65% – and, as much of the organic kitchen waste as possible is recycled back into the farm.
THE FIRE CAFE
A Cornish gem that we are looking forward to visiting soon. A cafe, bar and grill that at this time of year is not as rammed as in the summer months. Does great weekend breakfasts such as the Big Kahuna for £6.75, either as a good hangover cure or a way to well and truly fill you up…I’d be going for the buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Also open for lunch and dinner and in a great position overlooking the beach at Mawgan Porth.
