Local restaurants
Thanks to his peerless The Seafood Restaurant, eatery, café and bistro – with a fish ’n’ chip shop to boot – Rick Stein reigns supreme in Padstow. No wonder locals have taken to referring to it as ‘Padstein’ (+44 (0)1841 532700; www.rickstein.com). The views over Watergate Bay, between Padstow and Newquay, are as rip-roaring as the food cooked up by Jamie Oliver’s band of 15 local trainees at Fifteen. Here, quality Cornish produce – yarg, wild venison from Bodmin Moor, and funghi foraged by the restaurant’s own mushroom hunters – is transformed into imaginative Italianate dishes on a weekly changing menu. Booking essential (+44 (0)1637 861000; www.fifteencornwall.co.uk).
Worth getting out of bed for
Golfers should slip on their slacks and head to either of the two terrific courses near St Moritz, St Enodoc or Trevose. The Cornish coast is ripe for adventure – kayaking, coasteering (rambling, scrambling and splashing along the shoreline) and surfing can all be arranged. St Moritz is chummy with a nearby surf school.
