When I mentioned to my youngest that I was doing a blog on Porthcew Dairy, he said I remember when that (The Milkshake Hut) opened, it was revolutionary for Porthleven 😆 - never one to be dramatic!

But joking aside, it kind of was, our local milkshake shop had closed a year or so earlier and had definitely left a hole in the market and then suddenly there was a Milkshake Hut, that was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, used glass bottles (which you could reuse each time you went), used ‘very’ local milk, and had a range of flavours that would constantly be changed and updated.

Since the ‘Great Milkshake Revolution of 2024’ Porthcew Dairy has added a coffee shop with homemade ice creams and sorbets as well as tea, coffees and hot chocolate.  This summer, they ran a very successful PIck Your Own sunflowers, and off the back of that the Pick Your Own Pumpkins is opening this week.  Currently open 12pm - 6pm at weekends and every day of the October half term, it is free entry to the PYO and the pumpkins are priced according to size and don’t worry there are wheelbarrows on hand to help you get them back to the car.

Talking to the staff there are some big plans for the future of Porthcew Dairy and it is definitely a business to watch!  You can keep up to date with the goings on via their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/porthcewdairy/ and Instagram account: @porthcuedairy

But in the meantime, I am going to grab myself a hot chocolate and eye up the biggest pumpkin…..oh yeah, and grab a milkshake to take home!
