Pubs and Restaurants. [ Home ]

In the local village of St Issey are two pubs, the Ring O Bells, and the Pickwick Inn:

The Pickwick Inn is full of olde worlde charm with an open fire and beamed ceilings and a garden with wonderful estuary views and lots of play area for the children. The chef has been a finalist in the prestigious South West Food Awards for the past 4 years, and offers an imaginative menu using locally gown produce.

The Ring O Bells offers delicious home cooked food, and a warm welcome and has a decked area outside. Often has quiz nights on Sunday evenings.
The Quarryman Inn at Edmonton is our favourite for Sizzling Aberdeen Angus steaks, and has a good selection of real ales. There is a patio-heated courtyard. On the other side of Wadebridge, hidden away down narrow lanes, in the tiny picturesque village of Egloshayle is the 12th Century Earl of St Vincent Inn, with its amazing collection of working clocks and great menu. Wadebridge has a variety of bistros, restaurants and takeaways including an Indian and Chinese.

Padstow is of course famous for Rick Steins many wonderful restaurants, including his flagship Sea Food Restaurant and his fish and chip shop which sells the best battered fish. There are many other really good places to eat including No 6 and Margot's. Harbour side pubs are plentiful with outside seating to enjoy people watching, and a water taxi is available to take you across the estuary to even more restaurants in Rock.

St Merryn has the Michelin starred Ripleys restaurant and the popular Prynns. There are also two great pubs: The Cornish Arms with real ales, and the Farmers Arms.

Further along the coast, against the dramatic backdrop of Watergate Bay, is the new Fifteen Restaurant -Jamie Oliver's latest venture.
