Mellow fruitfulness
As summer produce at Trevaskis Farm comes to an end, the restaurant takes on the foodie baton with some tasty autumn offers.
The words of John Keats’ poem Ode to Autumn are a fitting tribute to life at Trevaskis Farm. As we head into autumn, the heat of the sun dips away and the farm embraces a calmer Cornish ‘season of mists of mellow fruitfulness’. The fields and polytunnels at Trevaskis Farm head into a more tranquil period during the shoulder months while from now, and on into festive period, the renowned farm eatery gets little chance to slow down. While the hospitality sector in the rest of our county tends to slow in pace at this time of year, the restaurant at the farm actually starts to gear-up, as local customers take advantage of the autumn offers they have come to enjoy so much.
Throughout October and November you’ll find a selection of deals from the farm centred around a fine dining theme across a great value, set menu platform. “We find the excellent price point gives our customers the opportunity to make a real night of it with a bottle of wine (or two!), creating a lively, almost party, feel,” comments owner Giles Eustice. This sort of atmosphere can be hard to find in November in Cornwall’s restaurants, but Trevaskis Farm yet again seems to pull it off in style!
The offers are not only limited to the restaurant, as there are always some great prices to be had at The Market, Trevaskis’ wonderfully well-stocked farm shop. Customers can expect to find deals on the sublime offering from the butchery department and its award-winning meat products, including home-reared British Lop pork and finest local South Devon breed beef.
So, whilst the farm team are in the fields pruning fruit bushes galore in preparation for next year’s growing season, the kitchen and retail teams are ready to welcome diners and shoppers galore to sample everything that’s on offer. If you don’t want to miss out on some great foodie deals and produce offers, make sure to keep an eye on Trevaskis’ social media accounts and website to be the first in the know.
