Just over a year ago, a new addition took root in the lovely Pentewan Valley next door to the River Valley Holiday Park near Saint Austell – Trevithick and Trays Farm Shop & Café.
This well-stocked farm shop bursts with good quality food and drink from locally reared meats and freshly baked bread to mouth-watering cheeses, local fruit and vegetables and, of course, Cornish pasties – including frozen ones for you to take home and store in your own kitchen for when the pasty need arises!
Alison and Paddy have tried hard to cover every angle. The shop has a grand array of gluten-free and vegan goodies to help cater to all dietary requirements and shelves full of locally produced artisan ales, cider and wine to small-batch gins, vodka, rum, brandy and whiskey for the thirsty amongst us.
Once a week, there is a visit from a local fishmonger who sets up outside the shop and brings with him the most incredible variety of freshly caught fish. Feast your eyes on the most recent selection and tell me you can’t smell the sea…
Mussels, scallops, Cornish king crab, haddock, hake, pollock, John dory, lemon sole and squid.
Next to the shop is a pretty café in which to enjoy a coffee and a cake (or a Cornish cream tea… jam first obviously!) with an outside seating area which welcomes dogs – and cyclists!
Definitely worth a small detour whatever your route…
