Fat Apples Cafe
About
Fat Apples Café is a charming family‑run corner of Cornwall, nestled half a mile from the tranquil fishing village of Porthallow on the picturesque Lizard Peninsula. From 9:30 am to 3:00 pm, Friday through Sunday, the café welcomes visitors with a cosy indoor dining area seating about 30 guests and an inviting outdoor garden with picnic benches, deck chairs and free Wi‑Fi. The menu is a celebration of local produce, featuring classic full‑English breakfasts, vegan and vegetarian options, hearty homemade burgers, Cornish ham, and a range of afternoon teas and light bites served from 12 pm to 2:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm respectively. Lavazza coffee, fresh tea, hot chocolate and seasonal drinks are available, adding a splash of warmth to the seafront ambience. Beyond food, Fat Apples Café is a hub for community events, ranging from live music nights and sketch walks with local artists to Thai‑Chi courses and reader evenings during quieter months. The café is dog‑friendly, and has a light lease for cafés, encouraging diners to enjoy the fresh Cornish air. For those staying overnight, the café is linked to the adjoining Rose’s Loft B&B and the trails of the nearby Wild Camping site, making it an ideal base for exploring the Southern Coast Path.
