The Blue Walnut is a relaxing, fully licensed Café hosting regular Live Music and Performance Poetry events together with an Art Gallery featuring the work of local artists. 

Breakfast and lunch is available in the cafe which serves freshly cooked food and homemade cakes and cookies.  Local Butcher John Shambrook provides the best quality bacon and sausages and to compliment our food we serve Origin organic, fairtrade coffee which is roasted in Cornwall.

The bar is stocked with a variety of bottled ales, including ales from Hunter's Brewery in Ipplepen, food and refreshments can also be enjoyed in the quiet beer garden.

The Blue Walnut is host to two vibrant Film Clubs, each meeting once a month to view and discuss their own choice of film.  We occasionally have spare seats available which the Club will release for £5 per seat, please contact us for details.  

We have temporarily had to suspend general film evenings due to the high number of private bookings for the cinema, we will review activity again in the coming months.

We open for private functions on request.  Prices vary and are tailored to your personal preference depending on whether you wish to combine a meal with your film choice or whether you simply wish to hire the cafe/bar area for a party with buffet.

Please see the Cinema or Events sections for details of films, music and performance poetry event.
