Absolutely phenomenal value for money and wonderful way to spend a few hours. We visited the brewery on a rainy Tuesday with very little expectation and were delighted to find a warm and friendly staff to greet us with a pint awaiting. The quality of the beer is beyond reproach and both the tour guide Louise (the daughter of the CEO no less) and the barman, Jason were flawless. By far the best value for money of any distillery or brewery tour I have ever done. Cannot recommend enough.

From the moment you arrive in unspoiled, beautiful, rural Philleigh you just know you are going to experience cooking with a difference. It is surrounded by an abundance of woodlands and the local produce is exceptional quality. When I drove up to cookery school, the smell of the outside smoking (catering size) bbq was such a welcome addition!!! I knew straight away that the south east asian cooking class was going to be a memorable one. Having recently done a cookery course with Jamie Oliver and Waitrose in central London, Philleigh Cookery School is up there with a wealth of modern dishes and incredible talent. Rupert is eager to share with you all his worldly culinary knowledge and give great tips that are game-changers in the kitchen. Rupert has an incredible range of knowledge not only about every food known to man, (galangal is now a staple at home) but also about Cornwall itself. I would highly recommend taking a weekend Philleigh Cookery Course, all the dishes I made there have somehow worked their magic into so many of my usual dishes too. I am now fully stocked with tips and new gadgets that are not just gathering dust!!!

We attempted the Nocturnal Alchemist and, by some quirk of fate managed to escape with 5 mins to spare (suspect luck played its part). Great location, superb set up and will mis-direct you at will; perfect! The team running the site are very friendly and helpful; decent price too.

Sadly the museum is currently closed for repair work but as they say about the V & A cafe, great cafe with rather a nice museum attached. Have been to the museum many times & the permanent collection is great as are the temporary exhibitions. Looking forward to the reopening. The cafe is on2 levels with 2 serving areas with good range of hot drinks & cakes & varied lunch menu. An additional bonus is the art shop at the back of the cafe which in addition to artists' materials has a great stock of unusual toys & games & stationery.
