Day At The Races Picnic

Alongside the sustainably sourced Cornish smoked salmon and the irresistible peppered beef is a fine selection of the best produce Cornwall has to offer.

Crudites made from the freshest Cornish seasonal ingredients - cucumber, carrot, and vine cherry tomatoes, served with garlic crème fraiche. Cornish white wine marinated prawns with a sprinkling of Dill work beautifully with crisp green leaves in a basil dressing.

There’s also spread of Westcountry cheeses, homemade provencal marinated olives and Burt’s hand fried crisps from Cornwall and, of course, our rustic bread rolls. The final race of the day is brought to a finish by beautiful petits fours handmade here in Cornwall. All served simply with the award winning Cornish Orchards Organic cider and Cornish Pure Blue water.
