Hugo, the resident Barista at Relish Food &
Drink, is the 2008 UK Barista Champion. Over three days of crazy
competition in London's Excel centre in Docklands, as part of Hotelympia, twenty
four of the UK's best baristas competed for the title. Hugo will be jetting off to Copenhagen in June to represent the UK at the World Barista Championships where the top baristas from 50 countries will compete for the ultimate coffee prize. Last years UK champion James Hoffmann went on to win the world championships in Japan. Hugo's chances are rather slimmer... Rest assured he still prefers making coffee for his customers in Wadebridge, they're far less demanding (mostly), far more important and they pay for it!  21st November 2007. At a
thoroughly posh black tie dinner at Newquays Headland Hotel, Relish Food
& Drink were awarded bronze in the Cafe/Popular Restaurant
category of the 2007 Cornwall Tourism Awards.
This we're rather chuffed about as it is
our first year of trading.We shared a table with, amongst others, the wonderful Steve & Sarah Skinner, owners of Cornwalls coolest brewery who won an award in the Cornish distinctiveness category.. The winner of our category, two other categories and winner of winners was the Headland Hotel itself... the awards host!  14th
November
2007....Hugo, Relish Food & Drink's resident
Barista, won the South West heat of the UK Barista
Championships
2008, narrowly beating Tristan Stephens from Fifteen Cornwall. With
a little luck both scoring enough points to get through to the UK
final at Hotel Olympia in February. Roll on a Cornish 1 - 2 in
the finals!And we won it last year....."Here's the best coffee in the West..." Cornish Guardian February 2006 
1st - 16th September
2007. Relish Food & Drink took part in Organic Fortnight,
organised by the Soil Association. This was an interesting exercise in
sourcing local organic food to produce a fully organic breakfast menu.
Though a challenge we managed to keep our whole breakfast menu,
thanks mainly to using a lot of organics anyway! Additional help came from
the nice folk at Organic
Southwest.
