7 of the Best Places in Cornwall for a Roast Dinner

Sunday roasts in Cornwall

Well October is here and I am definitely feeling all the Autumn feels. Golden leafy walks, stunning sunsets and the nip in the air which has me reaching for my favourite jumpers. Today though, I have Yorkshires on my mind, that and glazed carrots, cauliflower cheese and the British staple that is a Sunday roast. 

So where is best to head in Cornwall for such a treat? These are a few places where I would book to secure a seasonal feast this weekend. 

Sunday roasts at St Kew Inn

1) St Kew Inn, Bodmin

A roast here is truly something to write home about. Nestled in a little Cornish village, St Kew is a firm favourite with visiting foodies and locals alike. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the vegetarian option is tempting even for a carnivore like me. Award winning too! 

The Petersville Inn, St Agnes

2) The Peterville Inn, St Agnes 

On the pricer end but a very popular choice in the coastal village of St Agnes. The produce is local, seasonal and the puddings are crowd pleasers too. 

Sunday roasts in Perranporth

3) The Summerhouse, Perranporth

For laid back vibes and a cracking view, The Summerhouse in Perranporth is on our list. You need to book in advance but it's worth it, those Yorkshires! 

Mexico Inn Sunday Roasts

4) The Mexico Inn, Penzance 

Gorgeous roasts, with tasty extras, you can even get a side of pie! Lovely laid back vibe as well. 

The Mariners Rock

5) Mariners Inn, Rock

For a real Cornish treat, Paul Ainsworth's The Mariners at Rock is worthy of a place on our list. Stunning food with real provenance.

Roskilly's Farm Sunday Roasts

6) Roskilly's Farm, The Lizard

Perhaps more known for their ice cream than roasts, but the restaurant on Roskilly's farm is turning out to be a popular spot on the Lizard for a Sunday gathering. Delicious and mostly from the farm itself. A great option for families.

Cutty Sark Marazion Sunday Roasts

7) Cutty Sark at the Marazion Hotel 

This one makes our list for a few reasons, great location (who doesn't love a walk round St Micheal's Mount?) Generous portions with rave reviews and great at catering for dietary requirements.

Exploring Ethy Woods

Well May has been filled so far with pageantry and picnics but the weather has been rather hit and miss! The bank holiday just gone was a bit of a wash out, not to be discouraged, I took my mum to Ethy House in Lerryn to explore just the most beautiful bluebell woods.  Rarely open to the public, Ethy House is on the road between Lostwithiel and Lerryn and has views (on a non-mizzely day) to the rolling hills and valley below. My mum and I donned boots and cagoules and popped Bren the border terrier on his lead and set off. The house is Georgian and has an Italian feel with a romantic balcony and lovely vistas.  We wound our way through a little maze and entered Ethy Woods. What a sight! Bluebells as far as the eye could see. The scent hang in the air accompanied by bird song.  Rhododendron trees displayed their vivid colour, magnolias too, such stillness and delight everywhere you looked. We quietly explored disappearing into the mist, other people there but it was like w...

Golitha Falls

It's been a busy summer! With my sister's wedding and plenty of guests (living in Cornwall you are guaranteed a constant flow of house guests). It's been lovely but I am looking forward to quieter times and that balm to the soul - a golden September. Hope so! Looking back though I wanted to share a favourite place we love to visit in all seasons, Golitha Falls . It's actually where our little Lostwithiel river runs through, the River Fowey, but nearer to its source, on Bodmin Moor. This is the ancient woodland of Draynes Wood, mentioned in the Dooms Day book. The river cascades over giant rocks, best to visit after heavy rains because then you see these falls in all their beauty.  This year was rather dry but the river was still a beautiful walk. You follow its path as momentum builds, the drop is over 90 meters in total. The area is a National Nature Reserve and a site of Special Scientific Interest, partly due to the stunning wild flowers found here, the 50 species of...

Cycle Hire in Pentewan Valley

For this month’s story I wanted to highlight a lovely local business that’s at the heart of their community. A popular pass time in Cornwall is cycling, although our county isn’t particularly flat, we have some wonderful bike trails. Running all around Cornwall you can explore these scenic routes and immerse yourself in the history with the freedom of a bike, and one such place you can hire them is in the beautiful village of Pentewan on the south coast. Pentewan Valley Cycle Hire is run by Rachel and Andy and their friendly approach and invaluable advice has made this cycle hire a real draw for experienced riders or complete novices.  Pentewan Valley Cycle Hire is ideally located because whatever your skill or fitness there is something for you. You can just keep to the flat, tree-lined trails that follow the waters edge and take a gentle ride around the village. Perhaps have a swim at the sheltered family-friendly beach, or watch the wildlife in the harbour (ice cream in hand of...
