What is the Best Way to Get to the Atlantic Coast Express?
That all depends on you! Either ride a horse, walk or cycle from either the Padstow or Wadebridge start of the Camel Trail. You’ll find us approximately 2.5 miles along the trail. If you’d rather come by water, cruise along the Camel estuary and moor your boat, canoe or SUP next to us and walk up the slipway to enjoy our delicious treats before carrying on your journey. If you’re not feeling that energetic then you can park at Old Town Cove (PL27 7QL) and it’s just a ten minute walk (towards Wadebridge) to find us.
Do You Cater for Allergies?
If you have a specific intolerance just let us know and we’ll do our very best to accommodate you!
Are You Dog-Friendly?
As we are an open-air cafe your four-legged friends are just as welcome as you are! We also have doggy refreshments available.
Do You Recycle? Can I Bring a Keep Cup for Filling Up?
We have boasted green and socially-conscious business credentials right from the very start. Protecting this Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) whilst celebrating its rich heritage is of paramount importance, and the focus is on treading lightly and respectfully in everything we do.
Do You Offer Take-Away?
We supply everything in take-away vessels which are compostable and recyclable.
