Renowned chef Tom Kerridge has voiced his admiration for Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, considering it to be “arguably one of the best restaurants, if not the best restaurant this country has ever had”. Despite the assumption of rivalry between celebrity chefs, Kerridge holds Stein’s achievements in high regard, commending the establishment’s food, location, impact on the local area, and overall dining experience.
Kerridge characterizes the Seafood Restaurant as “a proper restaurant, and charges proper prices”, justifying the higher cost by the exceptional quality of the food. While a meal at the restaurant may not be budget-friendly, Kerridge’s praise extends to the exceptional deals offered, such as the recent offering of a kids' meal for £1 during April.
The chef encourages visitors to experience the exceptional seafood sourced from right outside the kitchen window, deeming Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant “almost the perfect restaurant”, highlighting its energy, atmosphere, and overall brilliance.
