6 Food & Drink in Padstow That You Shouldn't Miss
Walking is a way of life in the picturesque Cornwall town of Padstow. The South West Coast Path—which, at 630 miles, is Britain’s longest footpath—stretches along the coast and, via ferry, across the River Carmel. The former fishing port is today a hub of fine wining and dining. Lose yourself in the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a fairyland of heirloom flowers, or go back to the future at the Eden Project, a horticultural wonderland housed inside dramatic biodomes.

A great guided tour of the brewery, with many beer tastings along the way. From history of how the Brewery started and an great process walk through for how beer is produced - ingredients, process steps and packaging. A lot going on in a small space, but most importantly the beers are great. Great value for £25 per head, with a nice gift pack of two beers and a glass. Staying in Padstow for a long weekend, we were also able to buy a Firkin for a lot more beers later !! Highly recommend this tour in a great part of Cornwall.

We have always liked the Padstow Brewing Company beers, and liked the previous tasting rooms in Broad Street, so we were impressed to see that the old Post Office on Duke Street had been converted into another Padstow Brewery Tasting Rooms when we visited over the August bank holiday. We loved the new Tasting Rooms, and visited again twice during the first week in November before the lockdown started. The staff are really friendly, the beers are all fantastic, and we would recommend the Hop, Skip & Dance. We loved the cheese platter and the other platters looked really good too - perfect complements to the beers. We are hoping to return to Padstow in December - Covid permitting - and we will certainly be making a few more visits to the new Tasting Rooms while we are there. A special thanks to Gayle who looked after us this week, and by her own admission, loves her new job !

Adjoining Paul Ainsworth at No.6, Mahé is an exciting addition to Padstow’s vibrant gastronomic community. The interiors – featuring one-of-a-kind antiques and bespoke furnishings – provide an elegant, intimate space in which guests can discover how to create stunning dishes from No6's former head chef, John Walton.

Such a wonderful evening from start to finish. Drinks in the bar and then we were taken out to the table, drinks al fresco on a beautiful sunny day and then fantastic food served by two very talented chefs who answered all our questions and made us feel very welcome. The wine pairings were so well chosen, we are not connoisseurs but we loved everything we were given. Great evening.
