Events at Rick Stein
Our events are always about coming together over great food and drink, trying new dishes that aren’t always on the menu and discovering hints and tips from experts chefs.
Unsung Seafood
Join us in October as 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.
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.

Rick Stein, Barnes | Wednesday 23rd October | 7pm
As part of our Unsung Seafood celebration, join us for an intimate 5-course dinner by the Thames in Barnes that’s all about discovering the unsung fish and shellfish of the British Isles. Hosted by Jack Stein and Cornish fisherman, Danny Phillips.
Look forward to plenty of stories from their lifetimes in the trade, giving you a glimpse into the exciting world of Cornish fishing whilst you try Jack’s creations on the menu.

St Petroc’s Bistro
Classic French cookery is the order of the day at our Bistro. Just steps from Padstow harbour, we first opened its doors over 30 years ago with a menu akin to a relaxed Parisian bistro, think steak frites and a large glass of Bordeaux.
Rick Stein’s Cafe
Our informal, family friendly café with atmospheric Cornish charm provides a relaxing pause in the middle of Padstow from lunch until late.
The menu features dishes inspired by Rick’s travels around the world.
The Cornish Arms
The Cornish Arms is a local village pub with good real ales and simple, classic pub menu where everyone is welcome.
If a few quiet pints are what you fancy, pull up a stool in our drinkers’ bar for a very pleasing time indeed.
Supper Clubs
Hosted by our Restaurant Managers and Head Chefs, each supper focuses on good food and fab conversation.
Our supper clubs welcome members of the community to dine on Rick’s recipes not usually found on our menus – each is themed around a different cookery book and seated in a communal style.
Masterclasses
Our hour long masterclasses cover everything from classic dishes like lobster thermidor or lessons on how to fillet fish and shuck oysters to wine tasting with our sommelier and seasonal cocktail masterclasses.
Discover hints and tips to make your life easier in the kitchen and enjoy plenty of tasters along the way.
Mini Steins
Meet some of our fishy friends and learn about the creatures of our sea. A fun and interactive session for kids aged 5 -14. A chance to see our favourite seafood up close, learn how we prepare each and the chance to taste so family favourites.

We’d love you to come along to join us for coffee mornings to help raise money for the important work that our charities do. Gather up your tea-loving friends and stop by to give your support. We hope to see you there.
