Don't forget I'll be hosting our annual Christmas party at The Seahorse on 23rd December.  4 courses of wonderful seafood and meats roasted the fire, a welcome aperitivo, some special bottles of wine to share from our favourite producers, Christmas carols and gifts.   A lovely opportunity to have a drink and share the spirit of the festive season amongst friends.  £55 a head.  Booking essential. 

Mitch will be joining Rick Stein and the fantastic line-up of chefs at the cookery theatre at this year's Padstow Christmas Festival.  Tantalise your taste buds at his seafood cookery demo in the theatre in the main marquee on the quayside.  Radio Cornwall will be covering the demonstrations, hosted by Daphne Skinnard.
