It is in a business area and very popular for lunch as there is a wide range of pre packed and freshly made sandwiches and rolls. They also sell Rowe's pasties which are always hot and fresh.

Being a city girl, I don't claim to know my 'set' from my 'surf' but what I have garnered this…read moreweekend, is that surfing to Kernow is what clubbing is to London a chance to burn calories/feel euphoric in a slightly more productive way. I'd never been further west than Bristol, which I admit as a Brit is rather woeful. So I couldn't help but admire the rugged coastline and invasion of Portuguese Man o' War jellyfish seeking out juicy recipients. Boy oh boy the waves were standing tall yesterday, lapping the low tide as I got a pang of nerves and kept my friend's bags warm while basking in the low 20s. The shop is actually a considerable hike up the road, so we opted to pick up a board (a tenner) and wet suit (a fiver) from the lovely Gabi stationed in her 4x4 along the beach. My brave friend waded straight in, unconcerned with the white fizzy foam enveloping her body. A sight to behold in more ways than one. I was just overwhelmed by the remoteness and beauty of the place, a special beach for a special weekend.

Stays open late so picks up the trade from the nightclubs on kickout, but stops selling alcohol at around 10.30pm. It does have some good deals on wine every now and again, but its generally cheaper to pick these things up at a supermarket. Basically this store is a replacement cigarette machine now that these have been removed from Newquay pubs. Comes in handy every now and again.
