Holidays in Cornwall
The Hidden Hut, Porthcurnick


Eating indoors has its merits, of course, but with indoor dining banned until at least the 17th May, this is the moment to embrace outdoor restaurant dining for its many advantages. 

If, like me, you have small children or a dog, eating al-fresco is a win-win: no stress about your kids dropping food all over the floor and failing to use their ‘indoor voices’, and no fretting over your dog tripping over a waiter while straining to reach a stray chip. 

Even if you’re one of those unfettered people with neither of these things, I would argue that salty sea air and sunshine sparkling on glassware can’t help but improve the taste of anything.  Sure, rain can dampen things a bit, but perhaps you’ve still got granny’s golfing umbrella in the loft.  You are British, after all.

To help our April and May guests to make the most of their long-awaited stays, we have put together a list (below) of the best places near Treworgey that are offering outdoor dining this spring.

"If it hadn't been for our new puppy, Harry, we would never have found this special place and had our first fUll week's holiday in the UK for many years! We don't want to leave tomorrow, but will certainly be back. We have had the most relaxing break away. Thank you all at Treworgey."
