One of the most intriguing tea houses in the UK is entering a new phase in its many centuries of history. Peter Newman, whose family have lived at Tolverne since 1934 said ‘When we decided to retire from Tolverne we really hoped Tregothnan would consider taking on Tolverne. We are happy and relieved that tea here has a great future and we can now tell our longstanding customers.'
Up until 1832 it was known as Tolverne Passage Inn and was a transport hub for the Fal. The pub licence continues to this day as does the licence to ferry passengers on the river. It’s great to see this continuing as part of Tregothnan.
The Boscawen Family have lived at Tregothnan since 1335 and Tolverne is a very special part of Tregothnan. Tolverne is within sight of Tregothnan and whether arriving by land or boat, Tolverne is the hub for the Fal and truly a unique place in Cornwall.
