I know, I know, you're probably all well and truly bored of hearing about this Pasty Tax… but I just had to mention what a roaring success the Protest March was! Over 500 people marched through the town of Falmouth on Sunday, in the pouring rain and heavy winds. Some were dressed in traditional Cornish kilts, others in massive pasty costumes, but all with the aim of sending a message to the Government. It really is fantastic to see the people of Cornwall rally together in such a way...Read More

I know it may be a couple of months away yet, but there's no harm in having an early look at what to get your dad for Father's Day. Our Cornish hampers make fantastic gifts for Dad; especially our Pasty & Ale Hampers, or perhaps our Alcoholic Preserve Box. We'll be looking at suitable hampers in much more detail in the near future, as well as putting together specially made Father's Day Hampers. Don't forget that all of our Cornish hampers can be sent anywhere in the UK, and all come...Read More

We often visit Cornwall Food & Drink's website, and this morning I saw this article that I just have to share with you all, as it affects the entire Cornish food industry. You may remember my blog from a couple of days ago about how the Government's proposed ‘Pasty Tax' will cause a lot of issues for Cornwall. Well, Cornwall Food & Drink are putting together a response to the government on behalf of the Cornish bakery industry. They are asking for all Cornish bakers and pasty...Read More
