A difficult decision ❤️

After a huge amount of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision that the Bistro will be closing its doors in early October.

The Bistro has been such a huge part of our lives, and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built and of all the memories we’ve made along the way.

But sometimes you have to take a step back and look at what really matters.

For us, that is family.

Running a restaurant is demanding at the best of times, but the current economic climate has made it harder than ever. Rising costs, increasing overheads and the pressures of running a small independent business have all played a part in our decision.

Ultimately, though, this is a family decision. We’ve reached a point where we want to put more time and energy into our family, enjoy life outside of the Bistro, and be there for the moments that matter.

We’re incredibly grateful to every single person who has supported us. To those who have eaten with us, celebrated with us, recommended us to friends, left kind reviews, worked with us, or simply walked through our doors…thank you.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to have had such wonderful customers and to have been part of so many people’s special occasions and memories. That is something we will always be proud of.

There is still time to visit us before we close, and we’d absolutely love to see as many of you as possible over the coming weeks.

It’s the end of a very special chapter for our family, and while there is inevitably some sadness, we’re also looking forward to what comes next.

Thank you for everything. ❤️

More details about our final opening date and plans for the coming weeks will follow shortly.

To all the Dad’s out there, near and far 🍻
I feel incredibly lucky today that it was arranged for me to “pop” to Swansea this morning for a coffee and to take in the amazing scenery that Cornwall/Devon and South Wales has to offer from above.
Wishing everyone a day full of love ❤️
Massive thank you to Lesley, Lottie, Karen & Andy for arranging today x

Well…one week, two rooms. Completely transformed.
It’s like our own Carol Smillie and Lawrence Llewelyn have been here.
Our Flour Store and Stone Dressers Room’s are now looking much more modern and usable. Why not treat yourself to a night or two…

• WINTER OPENING •
With winter feeling like it’s well and truly landed in Cornwall this week. We thought it would be the perfect time to remind everyone that over the winter period our opening hours are reduced down.
Also, a reminder that Sunday 21st December will be our last day open before our Christmas shutdown. (And just a little heads up, we are nearly fully booked every Sunday from now so be quick!)
Hope to see you soon ❄️
