Founder of Illogan Food & Craft Market

The market was set up to give local growers, bakers, makers and small producers a regular place to trade and to help the Illogan community discover what is being made on its doorstep.

A slightly pared back option with four finger sandwiches, a Belgian chocolate brownie, a carrot and cream cheese slice and a scone with jam and cream is £10.50 per person, and every menu can be adapted to suit your event.
Occasion cakes are a speciality too: buttercream sponges, drip cakes, semi naked cakes and chocolate ganache sponges, alongside wedding cakes and mini cake selections on a rustic cake stand.
