One of the lesser-known venues in the local Stein empire, set in an old stone building in the heart of Padstow, this low key bistro serves “excellent” and “reliable meals that never disappoint”“we usually enjoy fish”. Importantly for some visitors, there’s “a small indoor dog-friendly space”.

Part of the ‘Padstein’ empire of Rick, Jill and family, this hotel bistro a little away from the harbour is a simpler offering than their flagship. Its performance has sometimes been a little uneventful historically, but its “well-priced menu of great tasting fish and seafood” is well-rated by all who commented on it this year.

“One of Rick Stein's many offerings in Padstow” – aka “the mid-price Stein offering” – is “still good”, but also still continues to split opinion; while there is some “wonderful” fishy fare on offer (particular shout-out for the “fantastic” breakfast kippers), there’s also a view that it's “overall a bit disappointing given the reputation”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
