All Things Cornwall named Overall Winner at Taste of the West Awards All Things Cornwall, based on East Street in Newquay, has been named the Overall Winner in the Taste of the West Specialist Retailer/Deli category for 2024/25, beating strong competition from across the entire South West region. It’s a remarkable achievement that shines a spotlight on both the business and Newquay’s growing reputation for quality local retail. All Things Cornwall proudly received a Gold award in the same category in October 2025. The judges praised All Things Cornwall as “A one-stop marketplace for everything Kernow - an abundant and impressive shop.” They also expressed how it’s “A veritable cornucopia of Cornwall” and “An exceptionally good shop which makes one proud to be Cornish - imagine a mini Harrods of everything Kernow on the high street in Newquay.” This recognition reflects not only the quality of the products but also the dedication and passion behind the business. Newquay BID manager, Mark Warren, praised owner Craig, by saying: “Congratulations to an amazing business in Newquay. This is another fantastic award win for the town, and it is thoroughly deserved. Craig works incredibly hard to deliver a brilliant experience in-store and is continually developing his online business. He is always positive, committed to Newquay, and a real asset to our town centre.
