Dinner, St Mawes

Testimonials

“William produced dinners for us over our 6 days in Cornwall.  Absolutly delicious fresh three course meals every night, beautifully balanced and loved by all of our many guests.  Very generous portions and real attention to detail.  There was no fuss at all – everything seemed to be produced effortlessly, but of course that is because William, Teri and Nicola worked so hard to make sure we had the best possible experience. Their hard work meant we all had a complete break from cooking and clearing. Thank you! We will definiately use Pencoose Pantry again and we highly recommend them.  A”
