Pop to the shops

Our nearby farm shops sell a huge range of local produce such as Deli Farm Charcuterie and Cornish Gouda, if you want to pick up something special for dinner. A 5-minute drive up the road takes you to Hilltop Farmshop and Cafe with fresh fruit and veg, bread and treats. A bit further, but well worth the trip, is Boscastle Farmshop and Cafe with stunning coastal views and superb cream teas. Mably Farm Shop is a proper farm where you can buy sustainable beef, lamb and pork and see the animals in the fields. Shops locally include Steve Heard Butcher in Camelford, he’ll help you make the perfect barbecue box plus local cheeses like Cornish Blue. There’s also Cornish Maids delicious pasty shop. Over in Port Isaac you can pick up the catch of the day from Dennis Knight (who delivers here on Wednesdays) or the tastiest crab and lobster from Just Shellfish (deliveries on Friday). And of course, you can buy fresh eggs from us here on the farm.

One thing’s for sure – you won’t go hungry!

Cream teas

Of course there’s only one way to eat a cream tea, the right way, the Cornish way, and that’s jam first, cream second. No argument. You’ll be glad to know we’re working our way through the cream teas on offer in the locality and so far our absolute favourite place for an afternoon tea is Bossiney Tea Rooms. And for a brilliant cream tea, Boscastle Farm Shop Café. Of course there are many, many places to stop for a quintessentially British high tea Insta-moment: stop in one of the lovely cafés on a wander round Tintagel and tuck in, look across the harbour from your table in Port Isaac or down one of the hidden side streets in Padstow.

If you want to go truly Cornish on your afternoon treat though, have a go making Thunder & Lightning and tell us what you think!

Wine, beer and cider

We are just ten minutes from Tintagel Brewery and Bistro where you can pick up legendary beers such as Caliburn, Pendragon and Merlin’s Muddle, and wagyu beef from the shop, or enjoy a delicious meal made using local produce at the Bistro with fantastic views.

At Camel Valley towards Bodmin you can take a tour of their vineyards and enjoy a tipple with lunch before stocking up on their award-winning wines to take home.

Even closer to home is Rock Gin, a bit further down the A39. You can visit the distillery to find out how they blend the taste of Cornwall into their gins and rums.

And no visit to the West Country is complete without a refreshing cider! Pre-book a visit to Haywood Farm for an orchard tour and to sample their ciders. Or you can just pop along to their shop to stock up.
