Cheese of the Week

This week we’re focusing on Cornish Yarg. When the cheese is made it’s hand painted in fresh stinging nettles that are laid in concentric circles. The leaves act as a wrapper allowing the cheese to breathe as it matures. It has a Caerphilly like structure, with a fresh lemony taste that’s creamy.

Summer Special

2 scones, locally produced jam and Cheshire Clotted Cream all in a box for £4. Great for days out, picnics or just a treat at home!

Which way will you do your scones, the Cornish or Devonshire way?

(No judgement here which way, apart from our Cornish member of staff!)
