Where to Eat
One of the joys of staying at Woodstock is the proximity to a number of fabulous restaurants. From The Packet Smokehouse at the end of the road (literally 7 mins walkaway!) , to the fantastic Kota Restaurant in Porthleven, or the informality of the wonderful Mackerel Sky in Newlyn, you will find a restaurant to suit.
Here is a shortish list, most of which we have personally dined in and are very happy to recommend;
The Packet Inn
Situated a mere 7 minutes walk from your accommodation, The Packet Inn is our “local” so please drop in and enjoy a holiday pint!
The food is traditional pub fayre with the expected Cornish twist!
Victoria Inn – Perranuthnoe
No more than a couple of minutes drive away is the fabulous Victoria Inn. Reputedly one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall (yes there are quite a few that claim that mantel!), this is great local pub serving wonderful food. Really cosy in the winter with an open fire, and equally fantastic in the summer with a secluded outdoor patio area and more.
The Cove Cafe
Currently our most visited eatery! Completely informal, buzzing place – dont be put off by the word “cafe” – this is truly a restaurant serving excellent food all locally sourced, fresh and fun. The location is second to none. The vibe is rustic (its a shed!) So muck in and enjoy!
Kota Restaurant
Stepping through the door of Kota you are welcomed into a warm and relaxed world where your taste buds are invited to experience the exquisite dishes offered by chef Jude Kereama and his team.
Since opening in 2006, Kota has been recognised by many eating out guides and is a consistently present name amongst the food and beverage awards.
Kota Kai Kitchen Bar
Asian influence meets local fresh produce. Brilliant !! Book here
The Peppercorn Cafe
The Peppercorn Cafe in the beautiful village of Perranuthnoe,a three minute drive from here – the ultimate breakfast spot My favourite…..!!!!!! The best sausages !! Delicious home made locally sourced food. Family run. Take aways…… arrange with Sarah
The Old Coastguard
The Old Coastguard is 20 minutes away in the pretty small fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced “Mowsel”!)Fabulous coastal restaurant. Great food.
The Gurnard’s Head
The Gurnard’s Head is located 30 minutes away in the midst of the most rugged coastline West Cornwall has to offer. The dining pub oozes atmosphere and serves excellent food.
Mackerel Sky Seafood
Mackerel Sky is perhaps more cafe than restaurant but for foodies who love fresh local fish served tapas style this is a must visit!
Slice of Cornwall
Slice of Cornwall (open only until 4pm) is the place to eat as part of a day out to Gweek, Constantine and the Helford River.
We can safely say the food is quite unique (waffles and flatbreads filled as you have never seen before) and the portion sizes are very generous! Checkout the menu! Really friendly staff adds to the experience. You will remember your visit!
Potager Garden & Cafe (v)
The Potager offers a unique experience in this very special vegetarian cafe perhaps best explained by their own words;
“Potager has emerged from the bramble choked wilderness of an abandoned plant nursery and is now a relaxing and beautiful haven to rest a while, learning, eating, meeting friends or just relaxing.”
