Bakers Travels – Devon & Cornwall and a hint of Somerset

3 Comments WKB projects

Anne of Cleves teashop in Totnes, the scones were a bit old and dry, but the coffee walnut cake was fab!

Great times traveling by car, shouting left left!! to each other all the time, through Devon’s Dartmoor and along the Cornwall coast. Like most of our holidays, this one was all about discovering new and exiting taste sensations, unknown foods, brilliant bakes and, if possible, a decent cup of cappuccino. We were not disappointed!

Highlights
Bray Farm Shop Pasties in Launceston
Vicky’s bread and Yarg cheese in Looe
Peace and quiet in Golant
Savory danish at The Eden Project Bakery (check out our veggie danish recipe inspired by our visit)

Coffee from the stall on the corner at the market in Wells
Sunday lunch at The Old Spot, Sadler Street, in Wells overlooking the Cathedral.
Staying at the posthouse in Chewton Mendip

The bakery at the Eden Project would be called the Eden Bakery but it is also a great Project 🙂

‘Upscale’ fish and chips at rockfishdevon.co.uk in Dartmouth

Great coffee and a friendly chat on the corner of the market in Wells

Not the obvious Stein institute for us in Padstow, but Rojano’s in the Square for a lovely pizza and pasta lunch. We want more!

Fudge left, right and center, still it was not enough for us so we decided to make our own…

Our homemade fudge. This one’s with pieces of dried raspberry…mmm

This is what our ideal greenhouse would look like. Just beautiful!

This is what the average Cornwall holiday person has to deal with on a daily basis, so think before you book…

Now this is what we would call a chicken!

Wild garlic everywhere! We love it but till now were not able to grow it ourselves (lack of a woodland garden maybe?)

    Both of you sure know how to pick a spot in England! Next time try going all the way down West to the Lands End and don’t forget to pop by Mousehole and also visit the St. Michael’s Mount at Marazion in the evening to see the tide rising.

    There’s a popular local band called the Fishermen’s Friends which originated from St. Ives, about half an hour from Penzance.

    Here’s one of their most well-known songs:

      Sorry. I just realised I got it the wrong way round! The fisherman’s friends originated from Port Isaac on the north coast and not St. Ives which is down the south! Technicality aside they’re still a great band!

        Hi Adrian,

        We watched the video, it would be really nice to see them live I’m sure. We visited Mousehole too and had a nice walk there. Surely want to go back to Cornwall and Devon again, we really liked it a lot.
