Summer Holidays and Peppercorn Pizzas

The sun is high, the weather is sweet (-ish), the holidays are here and Peppercorn Kitchen Café is proud and excited to announce that from Monday 18th July we will be open until 7pm. So, if you fancy picking up a bite to eat and to take a sip of something South African and chilled after a day at the beach, or you sense the need to feed sleepy children quickly then get them home for bath and bed then we are the place to be. Our regular menu with our tantalising specials will run from 9am – 4.30pm as usual, and then between the hours of 5pm – 7pm our Peppercorn Pizza menu will take over (topping, size and price details to follow). You can bring your own wine (corkage £3 per bottle) or you can buy soft drinks, hot drinks, puddings and cakes from us.

Summer is definitely reflected in our menu of the moment. Currently on offer we have a refreshing green salad with watermelon and feta as well as a halloumi and nectarine salad with a light chilli dressing. Seafood has really taken off with our fragrant Thai crabcakes, pan-fried local mackerel with gooseberry compote along with our fish Provençale (pollock caught in Perran). Our puddings are light and airy with the still popular 'Summer in a Glass' as well as a new addition, white chocolate and basil mousse (we sold out today so will be making more tomorrow –get them while you can!). We are having a slight setting problem with our meringues probably caused by us using a different lining for the trays – we'll be back to the usual silicone paper and will let you know the results!

We would like to mention the arrival of what must be a record for the youngest customer – two hour old baby Margaret with proud parents came to the café one soft summer morning last week to enjoy the peace of the village with a reviving smoothie (for Margaret's mum) in our picnic garden. Congratulations and we hope to see you back again soon!
