The Old Custom House is a large, attractive pub & restaurant in Padstow Harbour, part of a chain…read moreand affiliated (as so many in the area) with St. Austell Brewery. The historic building is in perfect shape, and the décor inviting and family-friendly. There are two areas, one close to the bar and a room mostly for dining at the back. Sadly, it offered no dedicated seating in front of the building, which is a shame considering the splendid view. The menu is straightforward and streamlined; during my week in Cornwall I've encountered the very same menu at least five times, at pubs in Padstow, St. Ives and Falmouth. On the upside, you know what you'll get. My pick at The Old Custom House was their rump steak with chips, onion rings, a flat mushroom, and tomato. You can add a prawn skewer for UKP 4, which I did and later regretted, it's not worth the "upgrade". The steak itself arrived medium rare as ordered: average quality meat but decently prepared. Okay for the price. The range of real ales and lagers was good, of course there's a focus on St. Austell ales. I tried different beers and they were all fresh and well-kept. The bar staff were reasonably friendly, but seemed in quite a hurry - not surprising considering the fact that Padstow is a touristy place and that the pub was nearly packed during (late) lunchtime. Queues at the bar (there is a separate till for ordering food) can get longer, and longer. The dish itself arrived within reasonable time. As expected, beer prices are rather elevated at such a place, so expect more than UKP 4 for a pint. All in all it's one of the best options though along the Padstow "harbour front".

The minute that we all arrived numerous staff were on hand to take our coats and ensure that the table area was to our liking, from there our waiter somehow managed to be exceptional and not get a single thing wrong the whole night. Drinks were prompt, food was outstanding and we never had dirty plates or empty cups for long. The seafood pot in the creamy mustard sauce (name fails me now..) was AMAZING, definitely the best meal I have ever had. To top that off there was a Thai mussels starter that was out of this world. A few gentleman at the table had steaks and they were cooked to perfection which is sometimes hit or miss at seafood restaurants. Needless to say, this was perfect for our very special occasion and despite being a bit loud, the staff was very gracious and the surrounding parties were also kind and understanding, one of which sent us over drinks. Such a great experience and I recommend to anyone in Padstow looking for a high class dining experience. Our waiter was from Canada of all places and was OUTSTANDING, so if you get him, you are in very good hands.

The service was very friendly and cheerful. Everything seemed very orderly and organized. We came specifically for fish and chips and were not disappointed. The menu for both drinks and food is varied. As for a beer I chose a pint of draught, the Proper. A light beer with a nice light mellow taste it uses American hops, oddly enough. The fish and chips were excellent. As for the fish itself it was flakey, fresh and the breading perfect. It never got soggy. The quality could hit be beat. Also the chips were plump and well prepared and delicious. The meal came with a small side of mushy peas, warm and quite good as well as a tartar sauce and a brown sauce with a curry flavor. All very good. It was a filling meal and most enjoyable. If you want a nice contemporary pub or a very good fish and chips, this is a great place to have a meal.

This is the first pub you encounter on the way down the hill and if drink is all you are interested in then you can probably just stop here. I love St Austell Brewery, but not many of their pubs have a guest (first time I have seen it). This pub had an almost full selection of their beers (even the Black Prince was holding court) and local wench Betty Stogs was available too. Had to go for Proper Job, what with it being one of my five favourite beers ever, but if I'd been able to stay longer I would not have been bored! Lovely feel to the place with a nice garden for the warmer weather. Perfect? Maybe if they get in an exterminator in to fumigate the Stella infestation :)
