Pub Food at the Old Ship Hotel Padstow

The Old Ship Hotel seems to be one of the most popular pubs in Padstow. Every year when we visit the front courtyard has been rammed full of people all happily supping their drinks and scoffing plates of pub food. I took this picture early in the morning before they opened as all the other…

Pucellis in Padstow: Good Italian Grub

Pucellis in Padstow is a really good spot for a bit of Italian grub at ‘reasonable’ prices. The menu is mostly pizza and pasta dishes but they also do a fair number of traditional Italian grills too. Another bonus is that it is walk-ins only so if you haven’t managed or remembered to book a…

Breakfast at Sabzi in Padstow

Today we were checking out the breakfasts at Sabzi in Padstow, one of three middle eastern styled cafes in Cornwall run by former Masterchef quarter-finalist Kate Atlee .

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…

Eating the Chef’s Pie at The Old Custom House in Padstow

The Old Custom House in Padstow is quite a grand looking building located right on the corner of South Quay alongside the Harbour. Their food is what I would call upmarket pub food, some may say Gastro Pub, basically its a bit fancier than a pub It is a much bigger place than you first…

Padstow Tasting Room – Duke Street

The Padstow Tasting Room on Duke Street is just one place in town that you can purchase and sample the excellent beers from the Padstow Brewery. In the past it was just the tasting room on Broad Street where you could imbibe the beers (read our blog post here) but now they have expanded the…
