‘Local food, good for you and good for West Cornwall’
You will probably agree that nothing tastes quite like fresh food, from fresh fish to early new potatoes and the finest beef and lamb especially if you know it hasn’t traveled hundreds of miles to get to your plate. By supporting local producers and outlets selling local produce you will be encouraging sustainable agriculture, local businesses and be putting money back into the local economy.
