Proposal Picnic

Our most lavish, luxurious picnic, perfect for one of the most important days of your life.

If the fresh Cornish lobster, the punnet of Cornish strawberries with Cornish clotted cream, or the bottle of bubbly isn't enought to seal your loved one's heart, we've also included a whole host of beautiful dishes as well.

These include a toasted pine nuts and parmesan salad, prosciutto de palma and slices of cantaloupe melon, a selection of Westcountry cheeses, homemade marinated olives and hand fried crisps, and of course our rustic bread, baked fresh each morning in our wood fired oven.

The whole unforgettable experience is partnered with either the Louis Perdrier Brut Rose or the Flying Kiwi Sauvignon. Perfect.
