Again, a bit of forward planning had gone into today's eating out, with a booking already made for the Gurnard's Head at Zennor. We've stayed and eaten at its sister pub/hotel, the Felin Fach Griffin, near Brecon, so it was already on my list of places to try if we were down this way. And it didn't disappoint. We had a simple spring vegetable salad to start, to leave enough space for our mains; delicious, melt-in-the mouth braised pork with a wonderfully sweet and earthy mixed root veg mash and some spring greens - yum! We were both pretty stuffed, but still couldn't quite resist sharing some orange cheesecake for pudding!
In an attempt to walk it off, we had an afternoon walk from Lands End, along the cliff path to Sennen Cove where we stopped off for a late afternoon pot of tea in a cool little beach cafe, before walking back.
For supper, a simple salad was enough; beetroot, tomato and boiled egg with a creamy dressing from the Observer magazine (again!). A tbsp white wine vinegar mixed with slightly less sugar, a good teaspoon of vinegar, then 3 tbsp double cream. When I dunked my finger in the bowl, it tasted like an odd sweet mix with a vinegary after-kick, but once it was mixed with the beetroot, it actually worked really nicely.
