Tucked away, moments from Padstow Harbour
We opened the doors of St Petroc’s Bistro near Padstow Harbour, over 30 years ago. Offering a relaxed experience with a menu that focuses on celebrating the best of Cornish produce, comforting bistro dishes and our catch of the day seafood special. Expect dishes including beef tartare or sea bass ceviche to start followed by a choice of steaks, lamb cutlets, and Cornish hake.
Whether you find a cosy nook in the main restaurant or choose our private dining room, you’re in is just the ticket for a few hours of pure enjoyment.
Whilst we’ve got you, we must recommend factoring in time before or after your booking for a cosy cocktail in Ruby’s Bar next door where Charlie Stein’s very favourite drinks are created daily by our expert bartenders.
We’re very pleased to announce our new seasonal lunch specials here in Padstow, featuring a fine selection of familiar favourites from Head Chef Dan. Our lunchtime picks showcase the best of Cornish ingredients.
Look forward to enjoying our Cornish salt coley stew, French La mouclade frites and back by popular demand, steak frites. We’re also serving prawn roll with miso mayonnaise and thin-cut chips and a the rich aubergine curry with chilli, tomato, and kaffir lime leaves.
Whether you’re joining us for a quick lunch or a leisurely afternoon, our new specials are the perfect way to experience the best of what Cornwall has to offer.
All lunch specials are £15.95 and served 12pm to 3pm.
Discover our exclusive private dining room, the perfect setting for your next gathering in. Tucked away above Ruby Bar, this intimate space seats up to 12 and offers dual aspect windows with stunning rooftop and winding street views towards the harbour, creating a bright backdrop for any occasion. Designed by Jill Stein, the cosy interiors reflect her signature style that’s effortlessly and inviting.
Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, or colleagues, choose from our á la carte menu with no minimum spend or room fee. For a touch of luxury, enjoy pre or post-dining cocktails at Ruby Bar below, accessible by the winding back staircase.
