Only in Cornwall would you find the very individual Melinsey Mill. Lovely, homely food in relaxing woodland surroundings. Closed on Mondays, and between October and April. Drive, or take a half an hour scenic walk from Pendower Beach up a woodland footpath. Now offering pizza evenings - see their FB page for details. Booking a day or two ahead is recommended!

Authentic Italian pasta dishes. Cooked to order, but this is street food with eat-in option, rather than restaurant dining. At Chenoweths, on the A3078 at Ruan High Lanes. Open Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 2pm for brunch and bakery and 5-8pm for restaurant. Recommended!

The King Harry Ferry

If heading to the Lizard Peninsula in particular, or even if you are heading West towards Penzance, you might consider taking the King Harry Ferry. It is only 10 minutes by car from Penhallow Farm. It is a novel way to travel and might save you some time on the road.
