Interesting. We went to Steins last year on a bed and breakfast deal, the whole the day was top notch, lovely room with a roof terrace looking down the Camel Valley, very good but relaxed service, nice food, with perfect portion size, and a breakfast to die for. And all for a reasonable price...

Yep, as I said I think we chose poorly, but it was excellent in those days, chefs from other top class restaurants used to go there to see what all the fuss was about. We should have had the taster, I can't remember what I had but Mrs Chopper had cod with squid ink and I clearly remember pigs...

Was it one of his homeless ones, if so he has closed quite a few down.

....And its based on a theme, its childhood memories of a trip to the seaside at the moment, dishes that will remind you of the smells and tastes of a day trip (except Worthing when the tide is out, apologies if it no longer stinks as i have not been to Worthing for many years)

Ah, now, Bin Two i have been to, and what a fabulous place it is. Great wine, a wine merchant and coffee. When i am next down in St Ives i am going to try The Porthminster Beach cafe. If anyone on here is going down that way this year (or already been there) give it a google, it looks mighty fine.

Sorry yes, i was in his Padstow restaurant, at this time of year they do a very reasonable B&B + Dinner. We stayed in a lovely room above the restaurant and the whole thing was fantastic. As we were on the deal, i had to ask the waiter if we was allowed the more expensive items on the menu (like...

The great thing about Padstein, is that he has attracted many other very good restaurants into the town (and Rock) to feed all the high end tourists and 2nd home owners that now inhabit Padstow. I have seen the Prawn, but not eaten there, we always go to Padstow (and St Ives) at least once a...

As i said it was many years ago, since then The Fat Duck has closed, been sued, opened back up again and has changed its identity many times. Do you really think i would post on here that we ate there, when in fact i did not, in those days (late 90's) there was a menu although a taster menu was...

Good point. You have hardly sat down and they ask you what you want to drink and I haven't even looked at what they have. If you do place a quick drink order, when they bring it they ask for your food order. One thing I love about more expensive 'pretentious' restaurants is quality waiter and...

The Fat Duck, Bray, maybe Mrs Chopper and I chose the wrong dishes, but we were both very disappointed although the house white was absolute nectar. Compared to other famous restaurants we have been to even the service was not good. It was many years ago, wished we had gone round the corner to...
