The Seafood Restaurant Wins AA Food Service Award

We’re delighted to share that The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow has won the coveted AA Food Service Award at this year’s AA Hospitality Awards. Held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, the event celebrated the very best in hospitality across the UK, and we’re incredibly proud to have been recognized for our commitment to excellence in service and hospitality.

Our restaurant, which first opened its doors nearly 50 years ago in 1975, has always focused on delivering an exceptional experience to every guest. This award is a testament to our incredible front-of-house team, who were praised for their “sparkling hospitality” and described as “relentless ambassadors for the food and the local area.” The judges also highlighted how The Seafood Restaurant “evokes such a positive feeling and sense of place,” something we always strive to achieve.

Charlie Stein, Director at Rick Stein Restaurants comments:

“We are incredibly honoured to receive this award from the AA. Restaurants are all about food and hospitality and this award is recognition for the entire team who go above and beyond to provide an outstanding guest experience, sharing our passion for seafood and bringing people together to create lasting memories. With nearly 50 years of service under our belt, we look forward to continuing to do what we do best and look forward to welcoming customers through our doors in Padstow for many years to come.”

Under the leadership of Head Chef Pete Murt and our General Manager Graz Bakas, The Seafood Restaurant remains a cornerstone of our family’s passion for fresh, local seafood. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, or dinner, our team is here to deliver a truly special experience every time.
