Cornwall Food and Drink Festival

Three exciting special events

This year sees old favourites returning to join us alongside some new and exciting additions. Over the three days, watch HMS Raleigh rustle up a feast with military precision, see The Magnificent Seven join forces to create a one-off bespoke menu and observe the cook-off to end all cook-offs in the Battle of the Schools.

HMS Raleigh

Led by instructor Bill Ferguson and leading logistician ‘Woody’
