Good life beckons for St Minver weddings venture

A young St Minver couple are planning to take their holiday cottage business in a new direction in 2015 – by using it to host their own wedding.
Nick Cameron and Megan Brigstocke run the Mesmear cottages on a 15-acre smallholding.This year they plan to expand the business by providing wedding facilities and offering a bespoke catering service – Megan is a classically-trained chef who has worked around the world.
The former 18th century stone barns were converted to holiday cottages some years ago, but now the business is offering to prepare and cook gourmet meals as well – not just for their own guests, but for door-step delivery across the Rock, St Minver, Trebetherick and Polzeath areas.
“We’re offering a wide range of menus so there really is something for all tastes,” said Megan.“Everything is prepared on-site using only the freshest ingredients – we even have our own hens to provide on-the-day eggs.”
The couple are also looking to increase the agricultural element of their business by adding goats and a few pigs.But it the weddings sector that they hope will really take off in 2015.
“This is such a fantastic coastal location,” said Nick, “that people are drawn here from all over the UK and Europe.We offer a completely tailored and individual wedding service to ensure that the special day is everything a weddings couple ever dreamed of.
“We also offer the flexibility of self-catering and catered accommodation, in beautifully-maintained grounds - this really is the ideal boutique wedding location.”

Nick and Megan are due to marry in December.
