New Brasserie Menu.

I thought today I'd do a quick cut and paste of the new main courses from our Brasserie menu. I speak from experience when I say it's well worth a visit. The Brasserie is open all day to residents and non residents. Executive head chef Paul has done a great job with these menus - he came to us from Manning's in Truro and brought a great reputation which is being quickly proven.

Tregenna Castle in the snow and the wind.

Snow in Cornwall in February - it will probably rain frogs next week. Here is a video of the Castle in the snow, the wind was so strong that it blew some of the tables and chairs on the front lawn over.

Woodland Walk

The Woodland Walk has been brought back to life thanks to a lot of hard work by the Gardening team here at Tregenna. The Woodland Walk takes you through our 72 acre grounds. On the way you can see woodpeckers, rabbits, foxes, squirrels and badgers. The Estate is truly blessed with an abundance of wildlife.

The walk was originally created in the 1920s and has been painstakingly brought back to life by our dedicated grounds team. Cross the woodland valley by bridge and stroll down to St Ives past the waterfall with its stream side planting cascading down to the well where it disappears and makes its way to the stunning Porthminster Beach. You will see many interesting species of tree and plants on your way with colourful rhododendrons in abundance.

The grounds are open to visitors so if you want to take the walk just pop up to the Castle, maybe you'll fancy a cup of tea and a sandwich after and we have some of the best in St Ives - come and see for yourself.

Gok Wan has been staying at the Hotel which has been very exciting for all of the staff. He's here with his crew filming the ever great "fasion fix" for Channel 4.

All the staff are trying there best to make sure that he enjoys his visit, the chef is under strict orders not to overdress the salad. Boom boom.
