Helston park - One of the local swans
From being sold out of their set, three course meal to having delicious drinks. This small corner cafe, next to two of the best charity shops I have ever been in, is certainly a hidden gem within Helston.
No names or location will be within this article as it was a magical experience to wander upon this cafe and have a great meal. It was unexpected and a lovely atmosphere.
The set meals varied but all were well presented when it appeared from the kitchen from the waitressing to the food arrangement. The roast turkey was succulent, the gravy was subtle and not overwhelming the dish. The roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. the vegetables were clearly boiled, the carrots were kept sightly al dente, the green beans were soft and appetising.
The starter soup was extremely filling, thick and well presented, served with two triangle slices of bread.
The main course was filling, the flavours were consistent and blended well with each-other. The only criticism was that there was no Yorkshire pudding.
The pudding, which was a choice from many sweets was a rhubarb crumble and custard. The overall appearance was quite alarming but the meal its self was very good. The crumble on top was biscuity and crumbly, melting in the mouth. The rhubarb was perfectly cooked, not chewy, not crunchy; it was melt in the mouth, just falling apart when running the spoon through the delicate, tangy surface. Not quite like Mum makes it; a little reminder that home may be far away, but there are still many-a similarity everywhere that will help it feel like the old country house in the sticks with rhubarb from the garden.
