Back to Chip Ahoy in Padstow

Chip Ahoy in Padstow is my most favourite of all the chippies in town. It helps that it is less than 50 yards from where we usually stay and also that it is right next to one of our favoured drinking holes the Padstow Tasting Room. I have written about this place before on the…

Pizza at Pucellis in Padstow

Pucellis in Padstow is a great spot for a slice or two of pizza with a view. We got in early just as they opened and snagged a great table overlooking the harbour at the end of a decent autumnal sunny day. The window shutters were open and the late evening sunshine was providing enough…
