Trawlers Restaurant

Trawlers Restaurant

Considered by many to be one of the finest seafood restaurants in Cornwall, Trawlers’ cuisine is modern European using first class ingredients sourced from excellent Cornish suppliers. Executive Chef Proprietor Mark Napper will be doing a cookery demonstration in the Big Kitchen on Sunday afternoon.

Mark will be cooking up a mouthwatering menu of walnut and prune loaf, cheese and herb layered bread, oat crusted Looe bay mackerel with a garden mint and gooseberry chutney and a Cornish summer fruit cheesecake.

Taste of the West Gold Award winner and one of the Guardian’s Top Ten Outside Tables, Trawlers aims to provide guests with the very best of Cornish produce. Most of their fish is landed on the quay in Looe – just metres from the restaurant – and their beef, poultry and fresh seasonal vegetables are all sourced from Cornwall or the West Country, whenever possible. Trawlers uses local suppliers, because they’re committed, like the restaurant, to providing a quality product, supporting the local economy and reducing food miles.

The Food Groove

Welcome to the theatre of food. Based in Devon, The Food Groove creates an appetising ambience with a combination of exotic international aromas, tasteful tunes and delicious, fresh, locally-sourced vegetarian and vegan food – mixed live in giant pans by dancing cooks.

The Food Groove cooks conjure up reasonably priced, high-quality dishes before your very eyes; mouthwateringly tasty fayre like green Thai coconut and vegetable curry, white wine vegetable and herb paella, or cous cous with cashew nut, olives, sundried tomato, mint and lemon. Their gourmet potatoes pan fried in garlic and herbs with cheese or their Food Groove mayonnaise are also a firm favourite – delicious on their own or served with the dish of the day and selection of salads. The Food Groove also put on a selection of lighter snacks, organic drinks and even an amazing disappearing Fairtrade chocolate brownie.

Sporeboys

Sporeboys

London-based Sporeboys are a group of hip mycologists and pickers that love to make simple mushroom sandwiches – but we’re not talking simple quality here. Armed with baskets of locally-sourced, freshly picked chanterelles, cepes, trompettes and Japanese mushrooms, they’ve set up market stalls all over London that delight crowds with their delicious fare. And, we’re mouthwateringly happy to say, they’re returning to dish up more deliciousness at Port Eliot this year.

Lightly seasoned with a touch of slightly salted butter and garlic, the mushrooms are then sautéed for four minutes, dressed with shavings of pecorino cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and some parsley, then placed between slices of fresh sourdough bread. Sporeboys also serve a “wild n’ exotic mushroom risotto” that has to be tasted to be believed. Needless to say, the scent drifting around the stall is irresistible.

Dartmouth Ice Cream Company

The Dartmouth Ice Cream Company has been making and serving ice cream and sorbets since 1928. They have an on-site dairy using the best local West Country dairy products and real fruit, and, believe us, their flavours really are second to none.

They currently offer 22 delicious varieties of ice-cream to tickle your pallet, including apricot and almond, clotted cream vanilla, double chocolate chip, mango sorbet, fresh banana, whiskey and marmalade, espresso coffee, cream of coconut, honeycomb, stem ginger, tiramisu and Turkish delight. The Dartmouth Ice Cream Company also produce delicious homemade fudge and own-label preserves.

And, the best bit is, they’ll be peddling their magic ice cream bicycle around the Port Eliot Estate throughout the festival to peddle their ice cream to you – whether you’re lying in the sunshine or rocking out to the One Minute Disco!
