Booked a private lesson with Angus. It was absolutely fantastic. I am in my late 50’s and have never been on a paddle board before. Angus gave clear instructions was patient, and gave me the confident to get up and going safely and effectively. Equipment is first rate and I don’t think you could get a better setting -looking over St Michael’s Mount. Highly recommend.…

Hired paddleboards for an hour for 3 teenagers - great spot and attentive chap who hired them. He noticed they had drifted out further than they should and was quick to get out to them and bring them back into the safer area - thanks for the vigilance! A nice area on the beach - would go here again - thanks!…

The MOST expensive cafe I’ve ever been to (and I lived in London for years!)

Response from Angus T, Owner at The Hoxton Special
Responded Aug 28, 2022
Hi! Sorry you found us so expensive! Just so our other customers don't get the wrong idea, a coffee for instance is £2.90 which is firmly .10-.30p below most other coffee shops in the area. Our Ice Creams are £4 pounds, and yes it's Kelly's, an excellent Cornish brand. What you omitted is that it is TWO large scoops, with whatever toppings you like. These include but are not limited to: Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Biscoff and Bubblegum Sauces. Then you may also choose form: Smarties, Reeces Pieces, Flakes, Honeycomb, Oreos etc etc. Lastly it's a real shame you did not get the experience you were looking for, we pride ourselves on our customer service and we always make sure to take the time make sure that people get the best experience they can.

Angus went out of his way to make sure I learned as much as possible in a safe and enjoyable way. Super chilled guy and very patient. Hoxton Special is a special place for sure. If you're in the area you should definitely pay them a visit for kitseurfing, paddleboarding or just for the coffe and bagels.…
