For most of my working life I have been involved in the hospitality sector, here in Cornwall and abroad. I first started working at the café in 2021, and I am very grateful to both previous owners who had given me the opportunity to be part of the team and offer support along the way. When the opportunity for me to take on the café arose, it felt like a natural progression.
I have always taken an interest in business, paired with a huge love of baking and cooking, and recently graduating with a degree in Film, Media and Photography, It's been an incredible opportunity being able to channel all of my passions into one big venture! Juggling both university
and a business has been a challenge, but I have learnt so much along the way!
The award is a special recognition of our hard work, and represents all of the inspiration, ideas and efforts that go into making the cafe, and what we sell, the best it can be. We are extremely proud and grateful to receive such an accolade. A big thank you to the Good Food Awards for the recognition. We offer a range of light breakfast and lunch options, barista coffees, specialty drinks, homemade bakes, cream teas and much more!
We make as much as possible in-house, and anything we can't is procured from local suppliers. Along with Trenance Heritage Cottages, we organise different events throughout the year for everyone to come and enjoy. For the Christmas season, our decorations are up, the Christmas lights are on, and we are offering festive afternoon teas, seasonal drinks and food, and the heritage team are preparing for Santa to
return to our Grotto here in the cottages. I would like to thank my amazing team, Ollie, Ella, Bea, Ethan, Eve and anyone else who has
helped us- thank you.
To my family, my wonderful Grandparents, and friends who have supported me along the way. And of course, an enormous thank you to our lovely customers and regulars who visit, support, help, chat, bring their families, friends and fluffy companions- we really are so grateful.
We hope to continue into the new year successfully, with lovely customers, old and new.
Myself and The Garden Cafe Team wish you all a wonderful, happy and healthy Christmas & New Year.
