Tucked away amongst the Nanturras Workshops, is Evie Rose's Vintage Tea Rooms. Evie Rose herself was taken out, not altogether willingly, as I arrived. Perhaps because she didn't want to be separated from the array of fantastic looking cakes cooked up by her grandmother and on display behind the counter.
A few months ago, I decided to try every café between Penzance and Penzance via Land's End. The second part of that was supposed to be a blog post, which is the bit that doesn't always happen.
Strictly speaking, Goldsithney is out of the catchment area, but anyone who knows the joys of driving down Cornish country lanes will tell you that you often end up somewhere back where you started and nowhere near where you were aiming for, so I could have gone via Goldsithney, and did.
Evie Rose's Vintage Tea Rooms has a display of delightful Vintage/retro clothes including Wedding dresses; glass and crockery; bits & bobs (always my favourite) and the furniture is all in Vintage style. It's quite small, and I suspect once people discover it, booking will become advisable. There were five of us. Three of us had salads. Too few places, in my opinion, have good salads on the menu, and these are really good salads. I had a Goats Cheese and Red Onion quiche, which was home-made, delicious and a very generous helping. The salad accompaniment was imaginative and varied - good green leaves, spicy cous cous, a little pop of raspberry, and delicious dressing. Two of the others had a Roasted Pepper and Tomato soup which they said was very good, thick with vegetables and flavour.
We had cake after too - pure gluttony, but hard to resist. A Chocolate Fudge cake with bits of fudge on the top; a Victoria Sandwich and a Blackberry & Apple pie were sampled and all deemed very good indeed.
Go find it. It's off the Goldsithney Road. You won't be disappointed.
