In his Food Heroes Guide Rick Stein described
Di's Dairy and Pantry as "a paradise for food lovers"; "an
amazing place" said Martyn Harris in the
Daily Telegraph; and it has also been
acclaimed as the "Food Lovers Temple of the West". Located in the centre of Rock
on the North Cornish Coast, Di's can provide everything to make your every meal
an easy, yet memorable experience.
The home baking on offer includes lemon drizzle and chocolate
banana cakes; lemon meringue pies, cheese cakes, fruit pies and crumbles.
Amongst the wide range of home-made savouries you'll find chicken &
mushroom and
steak & kidney pies; pasta bakes and pasties; and lasagne. Then there are the
cheeses - more than 100 English and Continental varieties, including local cheeses
and local organic brie.
Other local products include several varieties of Cornish butter, Helsett
Farm Ice Cream from Boscastle, clotted cream, preserves, chutneys and honey.
The choice is extended further by the selection of cold meats and
charcuterie, upmarket tinned goods, an interesting range of wines, as well as fresh
ground coffee and specialist teas.
Di's Pantry
is a great place to browse, or you can do the same on its
website and order by e-mail. Rock itself is popular because of its long stretches
of golden sandy beaches and it's also well-known as a major watersports centre.
There are some high class shops, the renowned St Enodoc golf club and, for
a pleasant excursion, the Black Tor passenger ferry runs from Rock
to Padstow all year round.
