Tawny Mill & Restaurant rests in the gently sloping hills of South East Cornwall. The gallery was opened in 1998, to provide an alternative art space for the county's artists. Formally the Apple Press and Mill, the gallery offers a rustic, unusual space for photography, fine art and installation. As well as static shows, the gallery has also played host to drama, musical events and interactive media presented on LCD screens. The darkened, brick passages that form the exhibition space are a pleasure to wander, and offer plenty of time for contemplation and reflection. Artists, from across Cornwall, have enjoyed great success at the Tawny Mill.

The restaurant, opened in 2001, offers many dishes from organic local/specialist sausages to sushi crafted with the finest Nori and locally caught fish. Classic cuisine is on offer alongside fusion dishes such as tempura, Katsu, Curries and Soya based marvels.

Also of interest is the Tawny Mill Smokery. Freshly landed mackerel, Plaice and Cod are favourites. Tawny Mill Smokery is a thoroughly traditional smokery, where the brick kilns are hand-fired using only the finest oak dust and chips.
Time – lots of it – is a key factor in the quality of what we produce – whether in the curing of our salmon or in the slow 2-day smoke of our Duloe Hams and rare-breed bacon. In our opinion, the quality of what we do is worth far more than the pace at which we produce. That's not to say you'll find us sitting idle – we always work to the maximum volume possible without compromising the recipes that gave this smokery its reputation.
