Our People

We’re a family business with roots in the small fishing port of Padstow, Cornwall since we first opened The Seafood Restaurant in 1975.

Rick and Jill are both still at the helm, with their three sons heavily involved in the business too, and a strong management team in place.

Our passion for fresh fish, simply cooked is stronger than ever and great food and stand out service is at the heart of what we do. We know that to be our best we need to invest in our people.
