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.

Our new lunch specials feature Head Chef Dan’s favourite dishes, all made with the finest Cornish ingredients.

Join us this October to explore a fresh take on seafood. Chef Director Jack Stein and Head of Food Jason have perfected dishes that bring underappreciated fish and shellfish into familiar favourites like Bolognese and spring rolls.

“Having a small child means the days of a lazy brunch are over, which I don’t mind, I’ve always been a breakfast sort of chap. It must be a black coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, a full English with black pudding and then a smoothie or ginger shot to kid myself that I’m being healthy.” – Charlie

Our popular charity lunches return in autumn 2024. Last year our charity lunches ran for twice as long with the menu changing half way through, giving you twice as many dishes to choose from.
Come together with friends and family to enjoy a great value three course set menu, of dishes not usually found on our menu and find the perfect date or take the opportunity to pick your favourite dishes from both menus and support a wonderful local cause twice.
