Although we don’t grow enough produce to supply our Kitchen with all its daily requirements, we supplement our bounty with other quality locally sourced items. With the majority of our suppliers being from Cornwall and the South West, we are really proud of the regional provenance and flavours we create.

From summer salads and barbeques in our picnic areas to warming winter soups and stews beside the roaring log burner, our dishes are served daily between 12:00pm and 3:00pm and are created to reflect each season.

These homemade dishes cater for everyone and we ensure that we provide scrumptious options for those with any allergies or dietary requirements. Our Hospitality team are always on hand to discuss our dishes should you have any queries.

If you’d like to indulge in the offerings from the Heligan Bakery, why not pick up a freshly baked loaf of bread or home-made cake to enjoy after your visit. 

For beautiful home-made cakes, breads and buns simply call 01726 845106 to place your bakery order for collection.
