Lusty Glaze, Newquay.

It had been a good 2 years since we had returned to our old stomping ground of Newquay. It's funny, I haven't really missed living there after moving to Plymouth but boy oh boy did it pull on my heart strings whilst walking to my old favourite- Lusty Glaze.

Lusty Glaze is a beautiful restaurant which is nestled on a small cove just outside of Newquay. It's a place that you would take your family and friends who are visiting the area. It's a beautiful spot and it definitely meets my requirements for my wedding reception- yes it really is a stunning venue. Not only is the surroundings breath- taking but the interior of the restaurant are tastefully yet simply decorated. 

I sat there with a big smile on my face- what more could I ask for? A stunning clean beach in front of me, my loving partner, sunshine glittering on the ripples of the sea, a chilled glass of prosecco in hand and I was about to experience a taste sensation. One word to describe how I felt- perfect.

I chose the dressed Cornish crab with a potato salad and a side order of bread and butter. My oh my... honestly my mouth is watering while looking back at my photographs. The crab was delicious- fresh, sweet and just bloody lovely! The potato salad simple with just a little red onion and parsley and a fresh crunchy salad. I know I didn't take a photo of the wholegrain bread but even that would make my Dad happy (a firm bread and butter lover) I felt like the chef didn't want to mess with the ingredients too much and rightly so as they allowed the crab to do it's thing. It was delicious and I just didn't want it to end. 

And it didn't end there- oh no. How could I leave this place?! I was happy to spend my whole afternoon at Lusty Glaze; good music was playing, a chilled atmosphere and the perfect place to people watch. 

We opted for the chocolate brownie with pistachio ice cream. Bloody hell- this was it. It tipped me over the edge. The brownie was warm, gooey, dressed in a warm chocolate sauce with a dollop of ice cream. I couldn't fault it. Nope, not one bit. I felt like Gregg Wallace- almost consuming my spoon during each mouthful of this 'good pud'.

So yes it was no surprise that I left feeling completely satisfied. Well done Lusty- you made me miss Newquay.
