Phenomenal fish, succulent meat, prime pasties, lush, clotted cream, local cider, sparkling wine, and Cornish gin… Here in Cornwall, we have some truly great food and drink. And the brilliant thing about a self-catering holiday is that you get to try it all out! Nearby you’ll find a choice of local shops and specialist suppliers selling good quality local produce along with award-winning tearooms, welcoming pubs, and family-friendly restaurants.
