Unsung Seafood
Thank you to everyone who joined us in October 2024 to celebrate Unsung Seafood.
While October is over for another year, you’ll always find a celebration of unsung seafood on our menus as we continue to champion wonderful seafood.
During October we invite you to discover a new side to seafood. Jack Stein, our Chef Director and Jason, our Head of Food, have been in the test kitchen to perfect new dishes that champion unsung seafood in dishes you know and love. From Bolognese to spring rolls, look forward to experiencing new fish and shellfish in comforting, familiar favourites.
The exciting part about unsung seafood is we don’t always know what’s being landed by the fishermen, so expect changing specials to try across our menus.
“We’re celebrating unsung seafood. So often we’re creatures of habit, and stick to eating cod, haddock, salmon, tuna and prawns – but there are lots of other species that I think we should be enjoying more often. Things like cuttlefish, cockles, whelks, megrim sole and razor clams, each caught and landed around the British coast, and when cooked in the right way are brilliant alternatives to the popular choices.“

The Dishes…
We’re excited to bring you a selection of new dishes to enjoy across our restaurants in October. Whether you’re an adventurous foodie or simply looking for something different, there’s something unsung for everyone.

Try your first…
We believe trying seafood for the first time should be an exciting experience. We welcome you to try crispy cockles with miso mayonnaise on us this October. Just ask our team for a taster when you dine.
Cook unsung seafood
at home
Join Jack on Instagram and TikTok every Friday during October to discover some of his favourite recipes to cook at home using lesser know or lesser loved species. There’s something quick and comforting for cosy mid-week suppers, the perfect sharing dish for a gathering and some very nice fried shellfish bites.
Classics with a twist
Join Jack and our Head of Food Jason to discover the special dishes they’ve come up with to celebrate unsung fish and shellfish. They’ll be taking the dishes onto the streets of Padstow to surprise the general public with well-known, comforting dishes like spring rolls, satay and Bolognese – each with a new twist. Watch on Instagram and TikTok throughout October.
