Up early tomorrow, taking daughter surfing to earn my Robinstv “pass” for the afternoon! Edited August 5, 2022 by Davefevs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Take care, I spotted a shirt-wearing Sag in Teignmouth yesterday. Made it clear to him that Teignmouth and surrounding areas are red so he may have shifted on to Exmouth. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasmiths in Porthtowan, online ordering only in slots, but really nice. The best imho was Lewsey’s in St Agnes by driftwood spars pub. But it closed a couple of years ago. Was owned by Josh Lewsey, the Rugby player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one in Hayle back on an estate but I forget the name, Francine's in Newquay and the aforementioned Morrishes in Redruth for three. Edit: and there's one up the hill in Bude that also offers deep fried Mars bars and spam fritters. I quite liked the deep fried Mars bar, it was similar to eating a caramelly Christmas pudding. Pasty shops are generally very good wherever they are as long as they're independent bakers. The best combination of quality and value IMHO is Gear Farm on the Lizard but it's a long drive unless you're already in the area which negates the value aspect.

Something about them not being farts, where most people can tolerate their own, but take huge offence at the rancid guffs of others.

Makes me laugh when you get these consumer surveys and one of the questions is `How often do you visit Greggs?` Why bother sending them out to people in Devon & Cornwall, we`d rather die than go in one. Had a terrific pasty from Boscastle Bakery earlier while I was waiting for some people to leave so I could do a survey on a holiday let. Gert lush it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that it's gone; and good that there is a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
