LAMA Special Trip to St Mawes and Grigg's Country Store
Thursday 20th June 2024
St Mawes is a small fishing village nestled at the end of the Roseland peninsula. It is a lovely place to visit with a strong community spirit. Surrounded by the sea and gentle hills, St Mawes is quite spectacular! St Mawes has two pubs, the Victory & the Rising Sun, although the St Mawes hotel is more of a pub/bar than it is a hotel. Being positioned within the gulf stream, the climate in St Mawes and on the Roseland Peninsula is very mild all year round. During the summer, temperatures reach that of the Mediterranean, as a result there are beautiful local gardens throughout the Roseland with exquisite fauna and flora.
On the way home we will stop at the Grigg's Restaurant for a late lunch (table booked for 2pm), which is set in the heart of the Cornish countryside and is adjacent to their Country Store. Their family-run restaurant uses fresh locally sourced ingredients, and they are proud to support local farmers and businesses. Their large dining area offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere as well as the option to dine alfresco on their balcony, where you can take in the beautiful Cornish countryside.
The Grigg's store, itself, is much more than just an agricultural merchant, with everything you need for livestock and arable farming, including equestrian, fencing, timber, buildings and workshop. But for us, more to the point, it is also a wonderful country store with clothing and home & garden. There will be time after lunch to explore this interesting and surprising centre.
