“About 30 years ago I started working for Rick and Jill at The Seafood Restaurant. I was asked if I’d like to be their sommelier. I said yes, not knowing anything about wine, embarking on a new challenging and exciting journey. I learnt from the best in the wine business, and still learning today. I have loved working in this iconic restaurant with a fabulous menu, an award winning wine list and the very best colleagues. Thank you Rick and Jill xx”

No. 4 – Tracy Devonshire
Started in Steptember 1994
“As Victor Meldrew would say “I don’t believe it !!” 28 years in the blink of an eye.
Numerous reservations offices, various work colleagues, additional rooms, restaurants, shops, online and I don’t know how many cups of fruit tea to quench my thirst after continuous phone calls or face to face dealing with our customers. One constant has been Sarah Taylor. She and I have nearly worked the same length of time for the company. We have grown and adapted alongside the company. It’s sure been one crazy ride so far, with lots of laughs along the way as well as shedding the odd tear. A supportive manager who always has your back.
Luckily, I am part of an exceptionally hard-working team who are an amazing bunch of ladies. It certainly isn’t a chore to come in to work, as no two days are the same. The office camaraderie, perks of the job and family vibe makes this a great place to work.”
“Tracy is the backbone of our team with over 28 years’ experience in Reservations. Needless to say she has a wealth of experience and knowledge and could tell you a few stories!” – Sarah Taylor

“It’s never boring, no two days are the same, even after 21 years here. I love working with Rick especially on his writing projects as it’s always fascinating and I learn something new every time we work on any recipes – either for the restaurants or his books, I’m always blown away with how much he knows about food, I know I shouldn’t be, but I am! I love the people I work with across our company too, everyone works so hard to achieve the best they can, it’s inspirational.”
“I have to say I’m a bit embarrassed I hadn’t realised it’s been 21 years since Viv started with me, it seems like only yesterday. I think the reason is that it’s been such fun. We’ve worked together doing so many different things, whether it’s organising dates, events, writing books, writing recipes. You name it, we’ve done it. And above all I’ve really valued her intelligence which makes writing so easy because if I forget a word, she’s got it.” – Rick Stein

Started in February 2007

I’m also incredibly proud of where I work and the family we work for, recognising that my job has given me so many opportunities and experiences that I would have been unlikely to enjoy elsewhere. Having grown up in Cornwall, I would never have imagined growing both a family and a career in such a wonderful place.
Seeing talented people developing and fulfilling their potential has been the part I’ve enjoyed the most over the years – I love the fact that hospitality is an industry where you can flourish and have some fun along the way.
I also love that my family feels part of this business too – we’ve made so many wonderful memories visiting our wonderful restaurants and staying in our lovely accommodation.”

“David is enthusiastic positive and upbeat despite some personally trying times in the last few years he has always pulled through with a smile and a keenness to be back at work and in the hub of it. David has taken on and mastered many tasks over the years with Padstow Kitchen and his keen eye for quality and consistency means he is the go-to person for preparing and potting up the individual potion pots for Steins at home.

You get to learn something new every single day in this company, you get to challenge yourself which I love.”
“Piotr is someone that I feel sums up why it’s great to work at Steins, he is fun, caring, passionate, hardworking, and dedicated to work also his family.
I first worked with Piotr when he was at the Seafood restaurant and even when he was a waiter, he was always the same, the cheeky chap who wanted to learn and always took time with any staff to share his knowledge but also to learn more. It shows from when Piotr started in the company at our chip shop, not knowing any English, but very quickly learnt English to then transferring to the Seafood restaurant where he grew though the ranks to supervisor when he eventually transferred to our café and took on the role as Restaurant manager. After increase customer service scores and developing his team Piotr took on his biggest role to date, as General Manager at the Cornish Arms, but still always having a smile and taking everything in his stride.

The family and Ian, the care and understanding they show everyone, every part of the business is a real inspiration, along with giving opportunity to have fun, develop and grow and the freedom to make changes is never forgotten nor do I forget about this or taken for granted.
It’s always a proud moment when someone asks where you work, or they find out and you can see the smile on there faces as they all have a Stein’s experience and want to share about last visit and how much they enjoyed and how the staff all made them feel great and made the experience for them.
