Today we were hunting for a breakfast in Truro and found ourselves at Grounded a small family run cafe tucked away in plain sight along the narrow New Bridge Street not far from the river. The place was very cosy and the people very friendly, there was not that much space inside just a few…

Mussel Box in Padstow: Fresh local mussels and frites
Tonight we were dining at the Mussel Box by the harbourside in Padstow. We had found a recommendation and menu in our AirBNB guide at the cottage and as it was only just around the corner from us close to the harbour we figured it was worth checking out The website welcomed us with the…
Back to Chip Ahoy in Padstow
Chip Ahoy in Padstow is my most favourite of all the chippies in town. It helps that it is less than 50 yards from where we usually stay and also that it is right next to one of our favoured drinking holes the Padstow Tasting Room. I have written about this place before on the…
Pizza at Pucellis in Padstow
Pucellis in Padstow is a great spot for a slice or two of pizza with a view. We got in early just as they opened and snagged a great table overlooking the harbour at the end of a decent autumnal sunny day. The window shutters were open and the late evening sunshine was providing enough…
The Harbour Inn at Padstow
The Harbour Inn at Padstow was a busy and bustling pub that we found near the front to grab a bite of food from during our latest visit. It was located just up the road from the Old Custom House where we had been hunting for a pie we once ate (read more here). Spoiler…
Eating the Chef’s Pie at The Old Custom House in Padstow

Philps Pasty in Marazion : Cornish Pasty Hunting at St Michael’s Mount
Today we were heading over to St Michaels Mount and were collecting pasty supplies from Philps in Marazion for the trip. We did think we would get a pasty on the other side of the causeway but I wasn’t taking any chances and anyway I had never had a Philps pasty before The pasty menu…
La Bocca in Looe – Wood Fired Pizza
La Bocca in Looe is an Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria located down on Higher market street not that far from the beach front and quay side. We both fancied a little slice of pizza, perhaps a respite from all the pasties and plates of fish and chips so we took a chance to try them…
Pub Food at The Cornish Arms
The Cornish Arms by Rick Stein is located in St Merryn near to Padstow and is an old school gastro pub serving a simple classic pub menu. It is described as being a short drive away from the town and I suppose it is, yet as it is up all those windy narrow roads it…
Boscastle Farm Shop and Cafe: Checking out lunch and the deli
Boscastle Farm Shop & Cafe is located just outside Boscastle up the hill on the B3263 at Hillborough Farm. It is a really excellent Farm shop and the cafe attached to it serves some really great food. We have been here a few times over the last year when it was open, sometimes sitting outside…
