A trip out to a vintage market in Praa Sands led to a visit to Prussia Cove and inevitably to a discussion about lunch. Full Sunday Roast at the Victoria Inn (and anyway - would we get in???) or a bite to eat at the lovely cafe in Perranuthnoe. At the point of the discussion it was warm and sunny, and I wanted a paddle - so the cafe won.
Pouring with rain by the time we reached Perranuthnoe, we abandoned the paddle plan, and headed straight for the Peppercorn Kitchen Cafe. Knew it by repute but it was my first visit. It's light and airy with light imaginative food to match - and very reasonable. I had homemade ginger and lemongrass cordial which was delicious - not too gingery but enough to add interest, and a bowl of bangladeshi dahl with light tasty homemade naan bread, my friend had thai crab cakes from the Specials board which were also very good - just the right balance of thai flavours with a good salsa and salad accompaniment. I'm sure I'll be going back and taking the many friends and relations who visit me here in the far west from time to time.
