Smugglers Cafe

Takeaways

So many lovely customers have asked how the business is faring during these uncertain times.  We're grateful for their support, and would like to reassure them that we're not going anywhere!

But we do need to adapt to the new normal.  It's going to be a while before we can squeeze people in next to each other for post-rowing brunches, working lunches, and tea parties.

We have adapted the set up of the shop, and are now open for takeaways every day from 7.30am to 3pm, with measures in place to allow social distancing and to minimise points of contact, for the well being of both customers and staff.  

We are also adjusting our offering in order to respond to the shift in customer demand.  Every morning we have a big pile of freshly baked pastries, loaves of brown sourdough bread, boxes of eggs, bags of flour, and breakfast cookies, granola bars, banana bread and much more, alongside our takeaway coffees, teas and healthy smoothies and juices.

So you can grab some nice treats to liven up your home office!

When we were 12, my best friend and I decided we were going to run away to Falmouth.

I'm not sure what we thought we'd do when we got there, but we started saving our pocket money each week towards the train fare, dreaming of days spent sitting on the quay, dangling our feet in the water without a care in the world.

Unfortunately, buyung crop tops and bracelets got in the way of our ability to save very much, and the idea - and in fact the friendship - died long before we had enough to get us past Exeter.

This just about sums up my relationship with Cornwall. 

I love being there, and whenever it's time to leave, I have to really force myself back on the train to Paddington.
