The beautiful surrounds of The Rosevine hosted Cornwall Life’s Food and Drink Awards 2013 in December

The winner’s luncheon included all 10 winners in this year’s awards, including Sennen Farmer’s Market – which has won the award for best farmer’s market four out of five years. Wynne Jones, one of four co-organisers of the market, admitted the pressure was now on for next year’s award. “I think it’s wonderful that these awards are organised, they make a real difference.”

New kids on the block, the Baking Bird in Truro won the award for Best Tearoom / Coffee Shop of the Year. Husband and wife team Mark and Selina Govier said they were delighted to have been recognised – and had no idea they had been nominated. Best Sunday Lunch winners The Old Success Inn, shared their award with Best Butcher of the Year Brian Etherington Meat Company who supply their meats. Chef Ben Mason declared he would be back next year in the Best Chef category.

The menu featured butter poached plaice with celeriac, saffron and almonds, a main course of crisp Cornish shoulder of port served with creamed potato, smoked onions and parsnips. Dessert was a warm vanilla sponge served with poached pear, lemon curd and blackberries.
