Falmouth-based Picnic Cornwall was named the Independent Cafe of the Year at the Cafe Quality Food and Drink Awards.

The judges praised its great branding and clean instinctive positioning within the market. The small independent coffee shop, located in Church Street, aims to bring the finest seasonal food from the best Cornish producers to give a true taste of Cornwall.

The awards were open to all national, regional and independent cafés, as well as food producers, wholesalers, contract caterers and food service operators who serve the industry. They are designed to recognise the increasing demand for quality own-label and branded ranges at affordable prices in the retail and catering channels.
