Rick Stein's for dinner

I’m off to Looe with April next Monday and I can’t wait.  I haven’t been since I was a kid but it’s a really nice part of the world.  Whilst we’re travelling that far (5 hours) we may as well make the most of the area so we’ve booked an extra night in Padstow to finally try out Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant which is only an hour away.  We were in Padstow last year but only went to his chip shop, we were in Newquay a couple of years ago for a wedding and had a spot booked but decided to cancel due to time and money.

Really looking forward to it.

Mmm... good food

I'm off to my 4th and final wedding of the year in a few weeks.

It's over in Newquay, and the wedding is at 11am. What a pain. We're going to have to drive down most of the way the night before stay in a cheap hotel somewhere then get up early and drive the rest of the way to the church.

To break up the journey home, we're going to take a trip to Padstow (30 mins) and go to one of Rick Stein's restaurants.

Starters range from £12.50 - £24.50 (Ouch!)

Mains from £17.50 - £45.00 (Ouch, ouch!)

Luckily we're only going for lunch and have the long drive home so won't be getting smashed on expensive wine, but it's still going to add up and i'm the one that's going to have to pay.

There's also a tasting menu for £65 which I think might be the way forward. It's not like we'll be in a hurry to go back all that way so we may as well try as much as we can.
