About The Cook Book
Good smells....of fresh ground coffee....soup cooking....flowers ....cakes baking.

Since we opened in 2003, The Cook Book has become more a way of life than a business. We treat visitors to our café exactly the same as people who come to our home. Bright, cheerful staff engage in every aspect of the café-bookshop, taking great pride in their work. The bar is a good place to sit alone or with friends. You will be warmly welcomed; there are papers to read and people to talk to.

Cakes baked here by Jenny Stephens include our favourite, dried apricot and almond; fantastic chocolate fudge, lemon drizzle that melts in your mouth and coffee and walnut that vanishes as soon as it's made.

Our cream teas are a true Cornish feast - two home-made scones, a saffron bun, Rodda's Cornish Clotted Cream, delicious Boddington's Strawberry Jam from Mevagissey and your choice from a wide selection of teas.

Themed Evenings at The Cook Book
Once a month chef John Nash serves delicious themed meals on a Saturday night. There are more details in our news letter. Early booking is essential to avoid disappointment.
