Want to eat out in Cornwall? We think Cornwall is the “foodie capital” of the UK with great beach restaurants and bistros, gastro-pubs, fantastic local ingredients, line caught fish and amazing cheese.
Passionate about food-we are!
To compliment Rosehill’s green ethos we encourage our guests to seek out local food suppliers wherever possible. There is a wealth of Cornish produce out there waiting for you to discover and enjoy on your holiday.
Here is a small selection of some good food at reasonable prices local to Rosehill.
‘Eat In’ Cornwall

The Cornish Pizza Company

This recent addition to St Agnes’ food scene has created quite a buzz with local people as well as visitors in the know. Owners Tim and Fiona are dedicated to offering authentic Italian pizza with a Cornish twist – using local toppings such as Cornish cheeses and organic dough made daily on the premises. Numerous awards including being voted ‘Best Local Food Takeaway in the South West’ last year by Taste of the West are well deserved.
‘Eat Out’ in Cornwall

Blue Bar on the beach, overlooking the Atlantic, amazing romantic sunsets. Always consistent and popular. For a family dinner, drink or barista prepared coffee, Blue is a great choice. Serving freshly cooked locally sourced food and perfectly informal.
Porthtowan Beach Cafe
http://www.porthtowanbeachcafe.com/
Greeted by genuine Cornish smiley faces, the “Porthtowan Beach Cafe” is the place to go for that great cup of coffee. We all know that you usually get good coffee at Costa or Cafe Nero. However, apart from superb coffee, what you also get at the beach cafe are the seaside views and freshly baked cakes. Porthtowans, dunes, beach and the Atlantic Ocean are literally on its door step. The freshly baked cakes include chocolate brownies and carrot cake which are to die for. Whats more they have been open all winter, even in the face of the Atlantic storms. So if you are walking the Coastal path its worth a stop over. I like to grab a newspaper from the village shop and sneak away for that crafty, guilty, half hour break, pausing just a moment before savouring the crema layer on my espresso. The cafe is spotless and the staff are full of smiley faces. These guys really know how to run a kitchen. Friday night is ‘burger night’ and themed evenings are a feature during the summer hosted by guest chefs. There are vegetarian options on the main menu. An interesting place to eat out in Cornwall.
The Old School Bar and Kitchen
