Ruin Beach Cafe - Places to eat on Tresco

You'll never go hungry

Places to eat on Tresco

Tresco supports a small, but very lovely, number of places to eat. If you’re at the Abbey Garden, visit the Garden Café for a delicious light lunch of afternoon cream tea. The New Inn pub at New Grimsby serves wonderful gastro pub grub for lunch and dinner and a fine spread of Cornish ice creams. Over at the Ruin Beach Café, make room for a range of wood-fired pizzas served with fantastic home baked bread and delicious light salads. Stop by The Flying Boat Café & Deli during the day for fresh local bakes, tea and coffee, relaxed lunches, and organic wines, or visit at sunset for drinks and snacks, or our beloved Tapas Suppers… Don’t forget Tresco Store, where, if you’re self-catering, you can plan for a perfect meal in or picnic out.
