Cornwall Place Kitchen — Restaurant in Great Britain

Last week we ate at a competitor, and seeing how busy CPK was, decided to try it out today. We got there a little before their opening time but were warmly welcomed in by friendly staff. We were invited to sit “anywhere” and come order when we were ready. Taking our seats we perused the menu and I immediately lost my appetite (let me explain) A coffee shop that does not present a “traditional breakfast” and the items that are presented are between £12-£15 appeared extortionate. Pushing me out of my comfort zone and almost helping me make up my mind to drink coffee and swiftly move on. BUT my ever persistent partner was adamant that this is where we were to have our Saturday meal. Rather reluctantly I proceeded to place our order at the counter. An Americano and a sugar free Latte as well as a “Full Bowl” and a Banana and Caramel French Toast with cream (begrudgingly paid £38) and went to sit and sulk at my table. And THAT is where the bad news ended.

What was presented is nothing short of Michelin Star quality!!! It’s started with delivery of THE best Latte I have ever had in my life! The perfect temperature with a creamy dense foam and naturally sweet milk. Then the food, I assumed the French toast would be a measly two slices with sliced banana and a cheap bottled toffee drizzle with canned whipped cream - OH NO NO!! Let me tell you - Brioche bread perfectly toasted topped with freshly chopped banana and a homemade caramel adorned with a perfect ball of fresh cream! WOWZER!! The breakfast bowl was mind blowing!! Each ingredient delicately prepared and perfectly complimenting all the other items in the bowl! The onion and mushroom chutney, pickle salad with coriander, salty bacon, crunchy croutons, savoury sausage patty and two poached eggs are all a match made in heaven - Divine!

I don’t want to compliment the Chef, I DO however want to compliment the genius behind the creation of than menu!! Absolutely PERFECT!! And your skilled Chef that lovingly prepared and put it all together is a master!

If you are a foodie THIS place is definitely one to pencil in. I am fussy, but CPK beat the fussy out of me today. We will definitely become regulars! Well worth the drive, well worth every penny!

Oh, get there early, by 09:10 they were full, and we were...

A Dine Night at CPK is a real local treat and develops the flavour you get a hint of in the regular daytime menu and specials. The menu changes regularly to ensure the best use of seasonal produce from local suppliers and whatever the menu you will always find that the flavours are balanced across the courses. George's talent in the kitchen is matched by Sarah's dedication to service detail and matching of drinks (be it wine or some unique cocktail creation!).

An experience not to be missed and one which is likely to tempt you to talk to the team about a Private Party where they can further showcase their skills. Having done this a couple of times for special events, we've seen how the menu is tailored to your tastes with some unique takes on your...

Everything I want a cafe to be. The ingredients are local and universally great quality (it took me a moment to realise that "m" on their food map meant metres, not miles, which gives an idea of how local), and every dish and drink surprised us by how good it was - from the kids' cheese toasties to the more elaborate 'big bowl' and whole array of cakes, the fantastic milkshakes and hot choc. Even the little details are spot on: the lovely glasses and metal straws, the comfy big seats, the attentive and knowledgeable service. So while at first glance it might seem a little pricey, it's well worth every penny, and more. No notes whatsoever, just please keep doing...
