Where Cornish heritage meets culinary excellence
Located in the heart of the beautiful twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand, No. 3, The Old School House sits within a designated historic conservation area—a place where winding streets, colourful cottages, and a rich maritime history create a truly authentic Cornish setting.
But beyond the postcard charm, this area is a true treasure for food lovers, offering an impressive variety of exceptional places to eat—all just moments from your front door.
Pub Dining at Its Best
Within walking distance, you’ll find four distinct pubs, each brimming with character and flavour:
- Seaview terraces in summer, or crackling fires in winter
- Menus that showcase fresh, locally sourced produce
- A step above typical pub fare—think seafood landed just hours earlier, or Cornish classics with a gourmet twist
Each offers a welcoming setting and a unique take on the region’s culinary traditions.
Exceptional Restaurants on Your Doorstep
For a more elevated dining experience, two standout restaurants in the village feature talented local chefs working their magic with seasonal Cornish ingredients. From casual lunches with sweeping bay views to refined evening meals, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
And yes—fish and chips on the beach is a must, and the village café on the square serves up a truly delicious version.
Artisan Delights from The Stores
The village’s award-winning delicatessen, The Stores, is a local gem. Stock up on:
- Freshly baked sourdough
- Local cheeses and chutneys
- Fine wines, cured meats, and artisan Cornish treats
Whether you’re gathering picnic supplies or selecting gourmet gifts to take home, it’s a joy to browse and even better to taste.
