Celebrating Cornwall
Through Food and Drink
At The Shaft Inn, we’re proud to support Cornish and South West suppliers wherever possible. From quality meat, fresh fish and local produce to beer, cider, spirits, coffee and soft drinks, our menus are shaped by the producers, growers, makers and suppliers around us.
Keeping our supply chain close to home helps us serve fresher ingredients, build stronger community connections and offer food and drink that reflects Cornwall and the wider South West.
From Cornwall to Your Plate
