30th March 2013 - Spero's, Porthmellon, St Mary's
We were
lucky enough to be invited to a lovely wedding on Saturday
- the sun shone, and the bride and groom arrived at their
reception in a gig, the Slippen (congratulation, Meriel and
Andrew!). Spero's, which is right on Porthmellon, was simply
perfect for the occassion, with seating inside and out, stunning
views, and direct access to the beach for the kids to play
(and hunt for Easter eggs). Richard and Amelia Mills and their
team were fantastic and friendly hosts, and the food was delicious.
If you
are planning a wedding on Scilly, I can't think of a better
spot for an intimate reception. Contact them via www.speros.co.uk

27th March 2013 - Old Town Cafe, St Mary's
This
has got to be one of the friendliest cafe's on St Mary's,
and a firm favourite of ours. Luckily, they didn't seem to
mind that we took over pretty much all the tables inside for
our lunch (there's plenty of seating outside, too). Look out
for the lovely collection of beach finds which adorn the walls
here, and we also liked the driftwood signage which is new
for 2013.
With
a nice selection of home-cooked food and sandwiches, there
was something for everyone here - our choices included ham
egg and chips, tuna and cheese melt, and lasagne. It was all
tasty, and devoured pretty quickly by our little gannets!
Sending the bigger ones off to play on the beach (which is
just across the road), we were also able to enjoy teas and
coffees afterwards - with a slice of cake, of course. My large
slab of lemon drizzle cake, with a nicely crunchy topping,
was spot on. |
