Food & drink
Bite into Cornish cuisine in Fowey
Cornwall is immensely proud of its traditional pasties, which grace cafes, bakeries and pubs across the county. They come stuffed with a variety of different fillings, though a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth crust is essential. A Cornish cream tea is another rite of passage, served with scones, jam and lashings of clotted cream. Dairy lovers can bite into over 60 varieties of local cheese, including Cornish Yarg, a semi-hard cows' milk cheese wrapped in an edible nettle leaf rind. Well-equipped kitchens and sunny courtyards make Fowey holiday cottages the perfect excuse to stock up on fresh produce and prepare your own Cornish-inspired feasts.
