Indian Summer?

The summer holidays have gone in a flash! Trade was good and we saw many of the regular visitors lunching at Peppercorn as well as many of the lovely locals whom we now count as our firm friends.

The Peppercorn Pizza Parlour was such a success that we've decided to hang on to Friday evenings as pizza evenings - in the hope that folk will pop in for an easy and delicious take away or "sit in" supper, to start the weekend with ease. (Thank you again, Emily and Ollie for running it all so beautifully for us.) Don't forget that you can 'phone ahead to order your pizzas (07907 691 639) and if you're eating in then you are most welcome to bring your own booze if you wish. We charge a small corkage fee, £1-00 for wine and 50p for beer - and soft drinks are available to buy.

Lisa and I were interviewed by two very charming Austrian ladies last month. They are writing a book - "Eat, Surf, Live" which is designed to inform european holiday makers about the best places to eat, walk and visit. Vera and Katharina selected only two venues from West Cornwall....Peppercorn Kitchen Cafe and The Minack - we are priviliged! When we get some details about the book - we'll post them on this blog!

Speaking of the Minack, we are looking forward to catering for their end of season barbecue this Saturday.This is the third year we've done it and we love it- it's always really good fun, especially watching their team games at the end of the evening. We particularly enjoyed the wheelie bin races last year........!

We also catered for a beautiful wedding a couple of weeks ago - Rachael and Matthew, we absolutely loved working with you. Landithy Hall at Madron was transformed into a fairyland of white linen, flowers and twinkling lights. Good luck to you both and we look forward to seeing you at Peppercorn when you return from honeymoon.

September is proving not to be the lull we were expecting - life is really busy. We are all thrilled that it's "local time! again. It's great to see all our friends back again after having gone to ground for the silly season. If the past few days are anything to go by - we could be in for a lovely Indian Summer - let's hope I haven't spoken too soon!!
