Picnic

Passionate about Cornwall, and about Cornish food, Picnic is an ingenious little business that has brought the two together. Not only by serving delectable local produce from its coffee shop and deli in the heart of Falmouth, but also by delivering its sandwiches and hampers stuffed with region’s finest produce, to beaches, picnic spots and addresses around Falmouth for free (they will deliver anywhere nationwide if you stump up a delivery charge). So all you have to do is plonk yourself down in a local beauty spot – if you’re stuck for ideas, they recommend plenty on their website – and choose a hamper to suit your occasion. Avid supporters of the Choose Cornish Campaign, you can guarantee just about every ingredient will have been sourced in the county, from elderflower wine, artisan breads, local cheeses and chutneys, to crab sandwiches, cream teas and fresh strawberries. Visit the deli and you can get your hands on an array of Cornish produce from fish and eggs to chocolate and alcohol, or sit down in the coffee shop you get locally-roasted coffee served with milk from the Roskilly’s cows that graze on the Lizard Peninsula. All the cakes, sandwiches, organic Cornish pasties and sausage rolls are freshly made using local ingredients, and even the milkshakes are made with Cornish Treleaven’s ice cream.
