Head to the vast barn café for a delicious snack, cream tea or light lunch. Afterwards, stop off at the National Trust shop for gifts and souvenirs of your visit. Don't forget to spend some time browsing the second-hand bookshop for a bargain read to take home.

Eating at Trerice

The café in the barn serves a wide range of refreshments. Fancy something savoury? Choose from sandwiches, soups, pasties and other light snacks.

For a sweet treat, try one of the delicious seasonal bakes, which range from raspberry bakewell slices and homemade cookies, to chocolate brownies and flapjacks. A particular favourite at Trerice is the classic Cornish cream tea, which includes a fresh scone, jam and local clotted cream.

When the sun breaks through, take the opportunity to sit outside and take in the country air whilst you eat. Look out for local swallows that nest at Trerice.
