CHARCOAL COURSE Sunday 27 Nov.

Yarde Cafe was converted in 2002 (from a former chicken shack and before that, a sailor's dormitory in Plymouth!) supported by a small grant from the Department for Transport's "Cycling Projects Fund"

Located at the highest point on the Tarka Trail, the cafe offers fairtrade teas and coffees, organic soft drinks, home-made cakes and pies, healthy and/or fairtrade snacks, local ice-cream, filled rolls, salads, home-made pizza, and a couple of specials made on the premises.

We have a licensed bar offering local real ales, farmhouse cider and a selection of affordable wines.

The Cyclist's Breakfast combines local and organic ingredients including free-range organic eggs from 4 miles away, real bacon from the Cornish Bacon Company, local butcher's sausages and organic baked beans.

Seating is available for 30 in the cafe with outside tables on the terrace or in the orchard.

The emphasis is on local and seasonal food, with some organic ingredients.
