St. Petroc's Bistro reviews
“The place hums with laughter, good cheer and the occasional political discussion, the customers a good mix of locals and well heeled visitors elegantly dressed down. There is a fine balance of style and a lack of pretension.
The greatest delight is the food, which bursts with freshness and flavours of the sea, but also of the grazing pastures and of the vegetable garden.
St Petroc’s version of the Fish Soup is more like a bourride, packed with flavour and whole pieces of sea bass, mackerel, cod and squid. Then there is the signature dish, wing of skate au poivre with capers and Bearnaise sauce, with perfect thin chips and spinach – as good an unadulterated fish dish you could hope for.”

"It has been a dream of mine to find myself in some charming little seaside town where there's a restaurant serving what the local fishermen are catching. At The Seafood Restaurant Padstow, I woke up happy! "
Celeste Mitchell The Daily Express
"I've never thought of our restaurants as temples of gastronomy, they're just places where the fish is fresh and exhilarating and the atmosphere is alive and full of fun. The way we cook and the relaxed way the staff look after you in the restaurants are our idea of what seaside holidays in a very pretty fishing port on the North Cornish coast are all about."
