We first opened our cafe in 1981, serving spare produce from our farm served up in freshly baked wholemeal rolls and scones produced on the woodstove in our kitchen. The "dining room" was our own living room. More than forty years later, the cafe is now owned by our youngest daughter, Nancy, who has taken the catering way beyond its humble beginnings though still using salads and fruit fresh from the farm. Whenever possible, all the ingredients are produced in the islands or in Cornwall and there is a wide range of Scilly brewed ales, ciders, wines and spirits. For bookings, give the cafe a call on 01720 422779.
Friday Nights
New for 2025 we are changing our Friday evening offering from our usual Bistro nights to a banquet style set 3 course menu service from Chef Elliot Vassallo. These will focus on using the very best of seasonal produce from around Scilly and menus will change monthly...anything from local home smoked seafood, freshly made authentic Italian pasta dishes, classic steakhouse style meat dishes, and vegetarian offerings straight from our garden on Little Arthur Farm. Starters, mains and desserts are brim-full of healthy, local food accompanied by wines, beers, ciders and juices produced in the islands. Menus will be advertised during the preceding month and bookings are 'first come first served' as soon as the menu is advertised so give us a call as soon as you see one you like! Seating is very limited so get in early to pre order your meal. Tel: 01720 422779
The Cafe
Our cafe is open Monday to Saturday (ie closed Sunday) from 10.30-4.00 offering al fresco dining or inside seating on less clement days. Morning coffees with home-made cakes; soup, salad lunches or our home-made burgers with chips and salad; home smoked seafood or veggie boards. Dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options catered for. Salad, eggs, fruit and vegetables come straight from our own farm, the rest being locally sourced from Scilly or Cornwall.
Enjoy a ginger Pimms whilst savouring the view from our patio. Try a bottle of wine or cider from the vineyard next door or indulge in a milk shake using St Agnes Troytown ice cream.
Pizza Night
Monday night is Pizza night. We offer a range of toppings of your choice on freshly baked pizzas. Tell us what you want by Monday midday and pizzas will be ready for collection or delivery on the island later that evening. An easy supper after a hard day sight-seeing.
