England, United Kingdom Food Guide: 10 British food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Padstow
Reviews on British food in Padstow, England, United Kingdom. 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.

We rang for a table at the last minute. Explaining it was our last night of our holiday and that we had to dogs we were told that they would try and move some tables around and call us back. Sure enough, with 5 minutes we got the call to say they could fit us in. They were so accommodating and we were so thankful. We sat outside on the elevated terrace and caught a beautiful sunset over Harlyn - stunning! This was matched by the friendliness of the staff and the food. Both were exceptional, so much so that we stayed for 3 courses and a few rounds of drinks that we didnât anticipate doing. The restaurant in on a holiday park so is busy but there is plenty of parking and clear signs to follow to get to the restaurant. I couldnât fault the place, the setting, the food or the staff. Plus it was very dog friendly which was another plus point for us. Wow... thank you, such kind words which mean alot. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2020.

We stayed at a B&B in Padstow recently and were recommended to eat here by our landlady. Always ready to take local advice we opted for the fish pie which was wonderful - big chunks of fish and really tasty. Very helpful staff and a very pleasant atmosphere - highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend. All four of us had filet steak, they were all cooked beautifully, couldn't fault anything even down to the dressing on the salad. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The steak was price was good then I realised the price included a beer. Excellent value for money. Will definitely be going back.

Berryfields Tea Rooms

Very pretty and very clean. Without doubt the best (not just one of) cream teas in Cornwall home made, lots of and served beautifully on pretty china. Lots of other scummy food on the menu from huge breakfast to snack all served by friendly, smiling staff. There is also a holiday park which, apart from the badly designed small, noisy, coin operated showers is very clean, tidy and well laid out. Lots of lovely cliff and beach walks in a quiet beautiful location . Looking forward to returning many more times

I can't believe that with over 40 years of experiencing Cornish Culnary delights that this was my first visit to this establishment having been open for over 20 years.It was an outstanding eating experience with excuisite food, fine wines, relaxed atmosphere and warm and friendly professional staff.I have to commend them for the light and fluffy fish cakes with watercress sauce served with beautifully prepared and presented fresh vegetables. No need to battle into busy Padstow; trying to get parked; the Ivy House Restaurant Is easily accesssble.Try it and fall in love with it.

The gold medal went to the comparatively modest starter: raw sea bass on a base of crunchy slaw with creamy kotsuobushi flavoured mayonnaise droplets. Fabulous fillet of beef, beautiful meat perfectly cooked served with charred (carrot cooked on embers) and borderlaise sauce. Pear tart for pudding got the bronze but still Olympic standard (should have had the chocolate cake!)Super Pinot noir by the glass and good choice of non alcoholic drinks. Friendly greeting, service and good send-off. Nicer ambience in the dining room than I remember from last time (though canât pin down why).

Enjoyed several dishes, each were excellent, my favourite being the red mullet. So many layers of flavour and to think this is all achieved in such a tiny kitchen!

Finally visited here during our holiday and can totally see what all the fuss is about. Busy, buzzing, cosy atmosphere and quite simply the most delicious breakfast Iâve ever had! My husband says it was his best too and heâs even older than me! And REALLY fussy! The hash browns were heavenly! And what a great price too! Spot on. Well done to Ben and all the staff!

We came here on the 20th October for our wedding anniversary meal. After reading the reviews I thought 2 bad reviews, the rest brilliant - and it wasn't so big inside so we were expecting a more personal approach. This is not what we got. We ordered drinks and our meal at 7.02. The bar man said he would bring my cocktail over ASAP. 30 mins later still no cocktail!! My husband had finished half his drink! The barman looked busy so we assumed he was making the cocktail, no he went away from the bar and wiped tables!! We then said "excuse me, we are still waiting for a cocktail" he replied yes I know!!! He then came over with the cocktail which was mostly ice! The food - whilst that was quicker than the drinks HA - the burger I ordered was very rare. Almost still mooing! Then we noticed I was missing my onion rings - I didn't dare mention this as I thought I'd have a snappy reply. £41 - for a upscale Wetherspoons. We did enjoy the décor.
