Asparagus Festival
Cornish Asparagus Festival & Family Fun Day!
Due to the success of last year's festival, we will be celebrating again in 2008! As the excellent reputation of Cornish produce grows across the country what better way to celebrate such a loved product. The FREE festival will be held on Sunday 18th May 2008 from 11am to 3pm and will feature asparagus demonstrations and discussions with our new head chef, Joe Lado Devesa, entertainment from 'Kernow Pipers', lots of educational material, a children's entertainer, bouncy castle and lots more!
Our traditional Sunday Lunch will be available using only the finest and freshest of Cornish produce - see menu below.
