It’s been 50 years since Rick and Jill Stein opened The Seafood Restaurant on Padstow Harbour in 1975 and 50 years later the family business now includes 10 restaurants (including The Cornish Arms pub), a cookery school, 40 guest rooms, self-catering properties including six Shepherd’s Huts on the grounds of The Cornish Arms and four shops, as well as a fishmongers and online shop.
Earlier this year they did one of the smartest and most successful celebration offers that I have ever seen, when they offered food at 1975 prices. With lobster at £2.80 and treacle tarts for just 35p reservations for the nights the offer ran were like gold dust. And deservedly so….
Now they have gone again with an equally celebration offer with 50 luxurious one-night winter bed & breakfast breaks at their properties on the North Cornwall coast being offered for just £50.

From the bobbing boats of the harbour and sweeping estuary views to fresh fish and chips eaten with lashings of salt and vinegar by the sea, this is guests’ chance to experience the magic of Padstow for less. Simply enter the ballot before 28th September at https://rickstein.com/accommodation/50-rooms-for-50
Stays span The Seafood Restaurant Rooms, Prospect House, Rick Stein’s Café and St Petroc’s Hotel and all include a hearty breakfast for two served in The Seafood Restaurant. Over five decades, the Steins have poured their hearts into creating spaces where guests can eat well, unwind and fall in love with coastal life.

Each room, individually designed by Jill Stein, reflect Padstow’s coastal charm and offer a slice of Cornish comfort, complete with plush bedding, seaside touches and modern amenities.
