See you there! Name: Pauline & Jan Sroczynski Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2007 Date: 06 Aug 2007 Comments: Grazing on the Quay - Congratulations to all the TASTE team for a great day. The fish Market as a venue was brilliant with the right space and atmosphere. If anyone missed it , they missed a treat. Our guests loved it and nearly all attended. As Nick said it shows what can be done. hopefully more of the same soon! Jan Pauline & Jan Sroczynski Badham Farm Cottages.

Name: Paul Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2007 Date: 09 Jul 2007 Comments: Nick Barclay, Iian Shillitoe Apologies not to have thanked you in person last night but we had to dash. We absolutely loved the food, in fact the whole evening was perfect. If you can take some more compliments we thought the food had a really delicate touch ... and how did you know that belly pork is my favourite? The service and ambience were spot on. Cheers, Paul & David Name: Claire Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2007 Date: 09 Jul 2007 Comments: Nick Barclay 'guest chefs' with Iain Shillitoe at The Bywater: Oh...............my...........God!!!!! What a fabulous evening!! Thankyou so much for a great evening, the food was exquisite. I beg you to let us know if and when you will do it again. It is great privilege for South East Cornwall to have such great chefs. Your staff were fab too!! Can't have you taking all the credit. Name: Andrew and Bonny Resident or Visitor: Visitor hidden: 2007 Date: 30 Apr 2007 Comments: Former residents, now living just around the corner on the Island of Tasmania! Just checking out your website and happy to see I'll be there during your grazing on the Quay session in June, so glad not to be missing of your festival. All the very best to Andy and Ally for the grand opening of their Farm shop, they've got endless energy.

TASTE SOUTH EAST CORNWALL edition number 3, don't miss the boat, get on board now!! There is so much to look forward too! Name: Brian & Terri Shears Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 24 Nov 2006 Comments: GREAT LUCNH AND DEMO AT BYWATER, CAN'T WAIT TO TRY OUR PASTA MACHINE! Name: Lyn Winter Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 24 Nov 2006 Comments: Superb Fungus Foray at Kilminorth Woods last weekend. Mushroomy meal at the Bywater in the evening - excellent. Thanks to Iain & Amy and all concerned in the organisation of events and the festival. Name: Rod and Mandy Smith Resident or Visitor: Visitor hidden: 2006 Date: 24 Nov 2006 Comments: Hello We came to Looe for a few days and had not heard about your Food Festival. It sounds very good and we wish we could have stayed longer and gone to the several Food Fairs listed on your helpful web site, but we had a lovely meal at Trawlers on the quay, and the service was efficent and friendly. We wish we had a similar event in Gloucestershire. We will be back, as we enjoyed our break, which was so relaxing. And rest assured we will be telling our friends that not only is the local food good but Looe is a lovely town to visit whatever the weather, particularly when there are friendly pubs to pass away an hour or so. Name: Nigel and Mel Morgan Resident or Visitor: Visitor hidden: 2006 Date: 24 Nov 2006 Comments: A great weekend at the Food Fest especially at Trawlers - we have fabulous restaurants in the Cotswolds but we love our trips to Cornwall - the homemade bread at Trawlers and the good beds at The Trehaven are incomparable! Name: Nick Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 23 Nov 2006 Comments: On behalf of all those involved in Taste South East Cornwall, I would like to thank Andy of Purely Cornish for organising an ace launch of the Festival. It had great vibes and raised the profile of the event with local residents as well as visitors to Looe. Thanks too for the support of Mayor Overd and our MP, Colin Breed ! Name: Ben Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 23 Nov 2006 Comments: I thought Iain Shilito's pasta making demonstation was excellent - when's the next one Iain ? His spagetti starter was brilliant. What I ike about taste South East Cornwall is that it promotes local produce but with interesting themes. Name: Cindy, Roy and Val Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 23 Nov 2006 Comments: We think the master calsses are brilliant. We went to two last year at Trawlers and again last week - Mark Napper makes bread making and his delicious lemon posset trifles so easy. We also impressed with his simple but very tasty pizzas. On the Italian theme we went to Iain's master class at the Bywater yesterday and he also makes home made pasta look so simple. But even if we can't do it ourselves, the lunches were super and very good value for money. Book up for the next ones before places run out as they are very popular. Name: Fran Moore Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 13 Nov 2006 Comments: Thank you for putting on the opening night celebrations, we really enjoyed our tasters and look forward to participating in other events during the Festival - its just a pity we have to work [in Liskeard] Mon-Fri & are only able to join in at a weekend, but what a weekend coming up - it all looks good to me. Name: Jackie Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 09 Nov 2006 Comments: Looking forward to the 2006 Festival - hoping to get along to as many events as possible. Name: Clive & Julie ffitch Resident or Visitor: Resident hidden: 2006 Date: 28 Oct 2006 Comments: Had a truly wonderful meal at Tapenades in Liskeard on Thursday evening for our anniversary, and every mouthful was a pleasure to be savoured! There is a friendly, relaxing, and thoroughly professional ambience that makes for a special visit here, whenever you go. Highly recommended, and ensures Liskeard a place on the cullinary map. Clive and Julie at Redgate Smithy B&B www.redgatesmithy.co.uk (also supporters of Taste South East Cornwall) Name: Barbara Wilson Resident or Visitor: Visitor Date: 30 Aug 2006 Comments: Ye Old Plough Inn in Duloe is a fabulous eatery, No reservation 6 of us arrived at 7pm on Sunday night and enjoyed a superb meal and excellent wines and beers. a real treat, highly recommended, superb staff, lovely atmosphere, wonderful food. many thanks for a lovely evening. Name: Digby & Lindsay Dyke Resident or Visitor: Visitor Date: 20 Apr 2006 Comments: Who needs Padstow when you can have fantastic fish dishes in Looe?! Lovely Mark at Trawlers On The Quay went out of his way to help us on a busy night. The dinner we had there was so brilliant that we bought a cottage in Looe in order to eat there again soon!! All the best for a good season of "tasting in SE Cornwall!"! Name: Paul Jones Resident or Visitor: Visitor Date: 03 Apr 2006 Comments: My wife and I had a fantastic evening on 31st march at Mawgan's of Looe, we had Huku Maputo, a chicken dish my wife said she did not want to stop eating it, full of wonderful flavours, I had the best Lemon Sole I have ever eaten, the welcome from chefs Eddie & Jeanne would take so beating. We would return to Cornwall just to go to Mawgan's. Name: Rick Schuette Resident or Visitor: Visitor Date: 29 Dec 2005 Comments: We are very much looking foreward to visiting Cornwall during the Taste of South East Cornwall in late November, 2006. We have never been, but I think we will be helped to feel right at home, based on your help so far. Minneapolis, Minnesota Name: Peter Taylor - Webmaster Resident or Visitor: Resident Date: 17 Dec 2005 Comments: Welcome to the Taste South East Cornwall 2006 site. Name: Nick Love Local or Visitor: Local Date: 09 Dec 2005 Comments: This is just the beginning.....but many, many thanks to all our supporters, including Richard, of Bateman Financial Management, Angie at Taste of the West Cornwall, Emma Lloyd at BBC Radio Cornwall and all the Cornwall Media, our webmasters Peter and Jackie and all of you who came along and enjoyed our excellent Cornish produce and hospitality. Watch this web site for details of TASTE 2006 - it's going to be even bigger and better and starts on the 29th January would you believe with 'Taste the Brunch in South East Cornwall' - a series of 12 monthly Sunday Gastro Brunches... followed by an envigorating walk or a brandy by a log burning fire or in the summer a pims on a sun lounger overlooking Whitsand Bay......... ......whatever suits your fancy. Looking forward to seeing you there. Name: nick barclay Local or Visitor: Local Date: 09 Dec 2005 Comments: Hey Richie, Really great 7 course tasting dinner last night at Couches after my mystery tour!! cheers - nick barclay P.S. many thanks to all the producers who allowed us to visit their wonderful places! Merry Christmas everyone! Name: Ian & Jen McDermott Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 29 Nov 2005 Comments: So glad Christine and Roy have made it on here, it was their generosity that took us to Tapenades and recommended Trawlers - proving that word of mouth and great food is the best advert (although maybe a local brewery could get involved.....) Name: Christine and Roy Local or Visitor: Local Date: 27 Nov 2005 Comments: We had yet another excellent meal at Tapenades. Such a friendly place offering fabulous food and great service. Name: Helen Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 27 Nov 2005 Comments: We stayed in Looe last night and had a great afternoon/evening. We had a fantastic meal at The Sail Loft (next to Trawlers on the Quay) - the seafood chowder was especially delicious! Name: Webmaster Local or Visitor: Local Date: 16 Nov 2005 Comments: Hi Nicette (previous posting). Please don't give up on the site! Point taken about all the scrolling - I've removed most of the horizontal scrolling - it's a lot calmer now. For full details of what's on, click the Events link for a week by week listing. Enjoy the Festival..... Name: Nicette Local or Visitor: Local Date: 16 Nov 2005 Comments: The festival is a great idea - it's good to know that there is so much happening in our area. Your website would be a whole lot easier to use if you didn't have all these scripts dashing accross the page - it's very offputting and makes it hard to find out what is actually going on. I have to say I am giving up! Name: Ian and Jen McDermott Local or Visitor: Local Date: 14 Nov 2005 Comments: Tried both Tapenades and Trawlers over the last few days, both were amazing (especially the Wild Boar at Tapenades, although still can't work out how you keep the venison so moist with the chocolate). Although not sure why you need special menu's for the festival, what you cook all year round is wonderful!!! Name: Mandy Local or Visitor: Local Date: 12 Nov 2005 Comments: Would agree with Jackie. A great night out and good fun too. Food was brilliant and I cannot wait to try out all those festival menus. Name: Jackie Local or Visitor: Local Date: 12 Nov 2005 Comments: Hola, What a great start to the Festival. Tapas Night at Trawlers on the Quay. Wonderful muchas gracias! Name: Clive and Yvonne Edmonds Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 24 Oct 2005 Comments: As big fans of the lovely fishing/holiday town of Looe this Festival is a must especially as Trawlers, our very favourite restaurant, has plenty of options on offer. Already anticipating the lovely scallops and homemade bread and of course a night at the divine Trehaven Hotel. Name: Gill Bridges Local or Visitor: Local Date: 13 Oct 2005 Comments: Great idea and high time that we put this lovely part of Cornwall on the map so that it's known for its great cuisine, local produce and selection of restaurants, as much as for its unique combination of beaches, river valleys and moorland. Looking forward to it! Name: Tim Love Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 22 Sep 2005 Comments: Just heard from my brother by e mail about this. Sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see the Festival Menus. Like the local wine tastings in particular as I took back a case of Camel Valley wine the last time I was there. Also handy that I can 'fly in' via Stanstead (my 'local' airport) to Newquay. I must check out the flights before they all book up.See you all soon. Name: Robert Nash - Australia.... Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 22 Sep 2005 Comments: Sorry not 'local' but heard about the Food Fest from a friend - will try and make it. A long way to come but I'm sure it will be worth it. Sounds great and love Cornwall. Rob Name: Helen Abbott Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 22 Sep 2005 Comments: Saw the ad in the Times last week - been some time since I last visited the area but this has whetted my appetite. Great web site with lots of information which is very helpful. Can't believe you have so much on in one month. Brilliant. Helen, London, and megga Foodie Fan. Name: Regina Stephenson Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 22 Sep 2005 Comments: Hi All Lovely idea - Helga and I will be booking a table and may even try the Bread Making Course. Name: Lee and Bill Boyes Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 22 Sep 2005 Comments: We can't wait to come back to South East Cornwall for the Festival - we've had some great week ends there and fabulous food in the past two years. Well done to all those involved in putting on this fantastic event at a time of year when one needs to 'endulge' and enjoy - things seem to be getting even better for South East Cornwall and it was super to see your event listed in the Times last week end ! See you in November Lee Name: Tony Whyte Local or Visitor: Local Date: 19 Sep 2005 Comments: We can't wait to sample some of the Gastronomic delights in store. Dawn & I hope it will all go extremely well. Name: Peter Bishop Local or Visitor: Local Date: 17 Sep 2005 Comments: A fantastic initiative and a great opportunity for our local producers, suppliers and restaurants to promote their skills to both locals and visitors alike. I've already started a diet in readiness!! Name: Christopher Stopes Local or Visitor: Visitor Date: 01 Sep 2005 Comments: Excellent to see SE Cornwall showing what it has to offer. Very pleased about the initiative and look forward to participating in some of the events. Well done! Name: Brian & Terri Shears Local or Visitor: Local Date: 23 Aug 2005 Comments: Having an event like this is an excellent idea and one that can only increase business for all in the tourism industryin the area, and the awareness of the really good food that is available in this great part of Cornwall. It will sadly do nothing for our waistline or pockets but what the heck. Good luck to all involved. Brian & Terri at Lower Trengale Farm www.trengale.co.uk Name: Richard McGeown Local or Visitor: Local Date: 19 Aug 2005 Comments: Even myself as a Chef Patron is full of intrigue and excitement about the up and coming event, and can't wait to find out more about how the products I encounter everyday are made. Good work everybody so far with progress, and I look forward to seeing everybody at the various different events Richard McGeown- Couchs Great House Restaurant Polperro Name: nick barclay Local or Visitor: Local Date: 18 Aug 2005 Comments: This month long event is a must for anyone interested in great food and how it gets to the table, taking in some amazing sights, amazing people and amazing good practice along the way!
