    Fabulous Food

    We were advised to pop in here by a local establishment as our little girl was asking for an ‘egg’ at lunch. A really quirky tea room that I think we have walked past numerous times over the the years. There was a great choice...More

    Jewel in the Crown

    This was perfect for the proverbial Cornish Cream Tea, unlimited clotted cream and jam was heaven for me, and you get two scones as well.if you go to Fowey then this is a must and don't go anywhere else because you will be dissapointed
