About

Cornwall Council awarded a contract to The Croust Hut Ltd for the operation of a café concession in the newly refurbished Assay Office at King Edward Mine, Troon, near Camborne.

The five-year agreement, commencing July 2016 and valued at £26,500, required the operator to add value to the visitor and community offer, incorporate local sourcing of employment and products, and demonstrate good environmental credentials such as recycling.

The café was intended to help raise the profile of King Edward Mine Museum as a gateway to the Great Flat Lode historic landscape and to attract leisure visitors from across Cornwall and beyond, while also serving as a social hub for surrounding communities.
