Winds are breezy, from Northeast around 0-25mph, whilst it's hot the breeze is very cooling, as air temperatures will climb to highs of 22°C and lows of around 16°C, it'll feel like 25°C in any sunshine, so please take extra care.

This evening and overnight remain dry with a few clear spells, although a little more cloud will arrive bringing some mist and fog. I'm not complaining especially as the evenings are slowly drawing in with tonight's sunset at 20:19 taken from Newquay.

Tomorrow our kitchen will be closed all day - this is due to a staff shortage due to Covid and rather than trying to make it work and falling short on the service we want to offer you and also for the sake of our customers and staff we will take the day to assess and get back to business as usual on Wednesday. We have done so well to get through the last few challenging months opening 7 days a week with no disruption to service and this is only due to our amazing hard working team. A big shout out to you all - thank you so much!

Drinks, cakes, snacks & Cream Teas will still be available.

Please bear with us.
