Never again. We have visited the jetty in Christchurch and Southampton on several occasions and have always had a great experience. Unfortunately this was not the case in Padstow. We spent a night here and although there are many stunning restaurants to choose from, we decided to go with one we knew should be great. Oh how wrong we were. We were advised of a short wait due to a function next door, but 42mins to wait for a while you wait dish was ridiculous. Only for it to turn up burnt.

Lovely roast potatoes and sides of green beans, roasted carrots, red cabbage and cauliflower cheese all fresh and perfectly cooked and the gravy was delicious… all washed down with really good wine and coffees to finish We couldn’t fit a dessert in but saw other people’s which looked really nice. Service was excellent and we had a lovely window view of the bay. Definitely recommend one of the nicest Sunday lunches...

I rang the hotel to let them know of the issue & I received a rather awful response, including a threat to sue me for liable. After the discussion returned to normality they said they would ring me back & over 1 week later they still have not responded to me. I will not be going back. They suggested it could have been cross...
