The beauty of the menu is that the core ingredients have the same fresh, local and seasonal origins and they simply allow clients to choose how they wish to dine.’ The Deli takeaway menu offers great value lunch time takeaway from home baked Cornish pasties and deep filled jackets through to delicious baguettes and home-made soups. If you have a little more time to spare why not relax in the bistro or on the sun terrace in the heart of the square.

The square is open Sunday’s too and offers a delicious full English breakfast, using local ingredients, with tea or coffee for £4.95.
