• Cornwall Restaurants - Cornwall is not known for its haut cuisine - this is a list of good restaurants that we can personally recommend
• Fresh fish is particularly good. (we like the local crabs, lobsters, plaice, sole, sea bass, mackerel, mussels, scallops)
• Cornish Pasty - It is ubiquitous in Cornwall, however it is difficult to find really good ones.
• Clotted cream is a real regional specialty that never seems to have reached the rest of England.
• Cider, Scrumpy and Mead, if you search out the genuine article, is like nectar.
• Cornish wine should be more readily available, somehow not many vineyards have come here
• Smoked fish and meat given the good fish supply, if you know where to look there are some great small smokeries. Bring some home with you.
• Cheese from Cornwall Cheese from Cornwall comes from a number of small producers.
• Cornish-beers A number of local Cornish beers.
