The language of love

Pack a blanket, find a quiet spot on the coast and enjoy a romantic picnic for two with help from The Cornish Kitchen.

A modern-day delicatessen in the heart of Falmouth, The Cornish Kitchen strives to provide those who enjoy the finer things in life with the finest blend of locally sourced groceries, fresh produce, accompaniments, coffee, wine, beer and more. The culinary wares found inside are collected and carefully curated by owners Rebecca and John. In fact, if they don’t love to eat or drink it themselves, it doesn’t make it to the shelves.

Visitors can pop in and enjoy a dish created in the kitchen, be it inside or on the patio, but perhaps the most enticing idea for us, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, is the thought of selecting your chosen goodies and striking out for a romantic picnic for two.

So, what can you expect to find? It’s probably more a question of what you can’t, with a plethora of pasties and pies, a mouth-watering choice of cheeses and charcuterie, and some incredible pastries and cakes for those with a sweeter tooth. There is also a satisfying selection of wines, beers and other local drinks with which to wash down your feast, and if you’re struggling to choose between the myriad goodies available, you can simply select one of the ready-made picnic hampers. Curated lovingly by the owners themselves, all you need to do is pack a blanket and find a nice secluded spot, of which there are plenty along this stretch of the south coast.

With a rise in demand for vegan and gluten-free products, these are also available in abundance, and as is the case with everything in this foodie emporium, there is a keen focus on local brands, which can only be good for those hoping to eat more sustainably. And if you’re planning the perfect surprise picnic for Valentine’s Day, Rebecca and John are happy to be led by customer demand – simply pop your head in or give them a call and they’ll be delighted to help source those extra special products for you.

It is said that food is the language of love, and if that’s the case, then Rebecca, John and The Cornish Kitchen team are fluent, making a trip here a must for anybody planning something special this coming Valentine’s Day.
