Wedding frenzy!

Well - the wedding went without a hitch!
 Ludgvan church looked glorious in the sunshine and inside it was awash with anemones. The whole of Peppercorn staff was there (apart from Jordan who was skiing and Emily, who was away with her family) and the party in the evening was great fun - all catering run by Izzy, Becky and Sophie; pizza bases and toppings prepped by Ollie; Amy (our manager) taking the official photos and running around supporting the catering too; the Johanna Graham Jazz Trio wowing us with their music followed by DJ Jack Curnow getting everyone onto their feet later in the proceedings. We will post a couple of photos onto the blog just as soon as I've vetted them!!
Incidentally - if you want an utterly fabulous wedding reception with food to die for - go to Ben's Cornish Kitchen in Marazion. I did - and the family is still talking about it - thank you Ben and staff!

I think Peppercorn is just about ready for Easter, we have some new menu ideas to try out on you. Six main course salads to offer alongside our usual hot and cold offerings. More details in the next blog - but feedback always gratefully recieved. It's lovely that we can begin to use wild flowers in our food again. They look pretty and taste great too!
We are now open from 10am 'til 5pm, and last food orders are at 4pm. We need the final hour to stock take, plan and order for the next day - apart from cleaning the cafe to within an inch of its life!
Alex came to try out a work experience with us last week, and we're all delighted to welcome him onto the permanent staff rota now. Well done, Alex.
We've had some great reviews on Tripadvisor- it's so lovely to hear that what we offer works for our customers. We have also had two enormous ads in the Cornishman as a result of the Accelerate Cornwall competition which we entered last autumn - so check that out if you haven't already seen it.

We have all sorts of staff training in the pipeline - a teambuilding day in the summer, a landscape management walk and talk on April 15th (run by Colin Nankervis of Towednack) and we are about to join the Apprenticeship Scheme which allows us to train staff to gain an official accreditation in areas such as Front of House management, Patisserie etc - how exciting!
