Last night I was invited to the re-opening party at Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant following its £2.5M redevelopment, the reason for my near guilt was that I was leaving a full hotel and a very busy restaurant behind.  I didn’t worry about the team here as I’d seen the planning and organisation they’d put in and they had a really good night.  Not as good as mine though! 

The new Seafood Restaurant is stunning and the work Rick, Jill and Rupert have done with the design team is fantastic.  I was expecting a glass of fizz and some canapes but found out during the week that we were being treated to dinner from the full menu, guinea pigs Rick Stein said when he welcomed us!  The new set up works really well and I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone go and have a look when in Padstow, I guess Rick would prefer it if you ate as well as just looking!

I am sure there will be some new photos on their web site soon but as the builders only finished yesterday afternoon it has been a bit too quick for them to get the pictures done yet - look out for the statue of Chalky!

Here’s a link to Rick’s website:

If your thinking of visiting Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant or visiting Padstow, why not stay at the Metropole Hotel.
