Some news about Oystercatcher
It is with great sadness that I announce a crew change at the good ship Oystercatcher
Skipper Paul has sadly passed away whilst enjoying what he loved, surfing.
I am now the new captain along with my trusty first-mate Cleo
We will run the ship with the same efficiency and gusto in which we have been trained for the last 10 years
I will be opening the diary in due course for new bookings as the good ship should sail on
We very much look forward to seeing you all soon!

Aren’t we lucky! Romano’s St Ives is a small Trattoria with coffees, delicious cakes and sharing antipasti with authentic Italian wines.
Only a 3-minute walk away.
