Polpeor Cafe offers so much more than just traditional cafe fare. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can enjoy the amazing setting on Lizard Point.
However, for a very reasonable cost, you can choose from a wide range of delicious dishes including many different freshly caught fish.
Puds are often not given much thought, but the Hendys prepare these homemade delights with just as much effort as the rest of the courses.
No meal would be complete without trying the Cafe's special Jubilee Meringue.
During the summer, take your own wine or beer, choose a table looking out to sea and enjoy! The most perfect location, the most delicious tastes and no need to rush.
The Lizard Point, The Lizard, Cornwall.
We visit the Lizard regularly to stay with family and trips would not be complete without visiting Roskilly's Farm once or twice. Lovely walks around extensive ponds, woodland and the coastal paths and a working organic dairy farm. Children love seeing the cows being milked - followed by the Roskilly family's homemade ice cream made from the aforementioned Jersey cows.
The Croust House is their lovely cafe with wholesome food (meringue glace with homemade clotted cream, you can't beat it). We even stayed in one of their holiday cottages for a week one year, homely, comfy and very friendly. Also enjoy the Roskilly (grown-up) children's creative work in the furniture and stained glass that abound. Oh, and you can buy a little book on how to make clotted cream.
The Landmark Trust holiday cottage in Frenchman's Creek is a real gem. It sleeps four and is a two-bedroomed 19th century stone cottage nestled in a deep glade.
The outside world really does disappear, surrounded as you are by deep woods where the only sounds are birds, creatures and running water. It's my very own Lothlorien!
Landmark Trust properties are not that cheap but not overpriced either - for what you get, it's well worth the money. The surrounding views of the Helford River are very uplifting (there's even a shipwreck!).
No visit to Britain's most southerly point could be complete without some of this fantastic ice cream (or their fudge for that matter). Deeeeelicious.
