Jelberts Ices
Jelberts has resisted the temptation to expand and remains a one-off, niche product - probably the nearest thing to homemade ice cream that you can buy in Cornwall. Based in Newlyn, it grew out of a dairy business run by Jim Glover's grandfather before the Second World War, which delivered local milk and other dairy products in and around the town. Relish Jelberts' ice cream while you can: Jim Glover may be the last generation to run this business. Open Easter - October.

Today, you will find a welcoming bar and restaurant, with blazing fire in the winter, and a large beer garden for those balmy Cornish summer evenings. Look out for the resident ghost.

St Kew Harvest Shop
All the food here is Cornish; organic Bodmin Moor mutton, Bude ewe's milk hallumi cheese, oak smoked paprika salami from Delabole. Drop in to the tea room for some home-baked treats. The coffee is heavenly too; they grind their own beans to make the perfect cup. If you're on the hop on holiday, or just want to cut loose from the kitchen, ask about their hampers: cream teas, picnics, breakfast, lunch or dinner - they'll even box up a traditional Sunday roast, all you have to do is put it in the oven!

Driftwood Spars
A bit of a north coast institution with a lively bar downstairs and the newer, funkier Spindrift Restaurant serving good seafood upstairs.

For those chilly winter months, there are three bars to choose from, where you can get cosy in front of a real fire.

The Rising Sun
A 16th century inn a couple of miles from Altarnun on an unmarked lane heading towards Camelford on the North Coast. This is a great single-room pub with slate floors and an old oak bar worn smooth by years of resting elbows. Known locally for excellent food which is served in the bar or for the full blown lunch or dinner, there is a slightly more formal restaurant. A good selection of real ales, mouth watering food and a welcoming atmosphere whether you want a sandwich or a three course dinner.
