It’s all purple power at this lavender farm and distillery framed around a large cafe. If you can flavour it with lavender, they’ve done so – lavender ice cream, shortbread, coconut ice, nougat, daiquiri... For the more serious eater, the all-day menu features seafood chowder, roasted mushrooms, and scallop, bacon and chorizo skewers.
