Authentic Italian pasta dishes. Cooked to order, but this is street food with eat-in option, rather than restaurant dining. At Chenoweths, on the A3078 at Ruan High Lanes. Open Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 2pm for brunch and bakery and 5-8pm for restaurant. Recommended!

Spa Day -
In the morning, you’ll have full use of the spa and leisure facilities. How you choose to unwind in our Spa is entirely up to you: a session on the cross trainer, a swim in the infinity pool, or simply relaxing in the walled garden in your fluffy robe and flip flops (provided by us). There’s a 30-minute massage or facial included in your day, to make sure you leave the Spa feeling thoroughly relaxed.
Then, it’s off to our elegant tea rooms in the 19th-century hotel. Choose from mouth-watering finger sandwiches, cakes and of course, the classic Cornish cream tea.
Please let us know if you would like a savoury, vegan or gluten-free afternoon tea. You can also extend your 30-minute treatment to an hour of pure relaxation (for an extra £30).
This unique spa day costs £70 per person. Worth every indulgent penny.
Valid Monday to Friday (please enquire for additional charges on Saturdays - subject to availability).

The King Harry Ferry
If heading to the Lizard Peninsula in particular, or even if you are heading West towards Penzance, you might consider taking the King Harry Ferry. It is only 10 minutes by car from Penhallow Farm.
It is a novel way to travel and might save you some time on the road.
