My friend and I visited right and lunch time and were lucky to get a table as almost all the other…read moreopen spots were reserved. We were so happy as we are both seafood lovers. It's a small restaurant right in Padstow that does small plates that focus on seafood. To start, their cocktails were great! I wish I could remember the one I got but I added a photo of it. I think it had passion fruit in it. It was so good! My friend's favorite dish was the scallops and mine were the prawns. :) They were giant and so tasty! The oysters were good too and I definitely would order more next time. Being from a landlocked area, it was so cool to hear how fresh this seafood is! Definitely recommend stopping in if you get the chance.

This is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had…read more Prawn on the Farm is a delightful, casual-chic tent restaurant set on a farm lawn with a stellar vista over the Padstow area of Cornwall, out toward the coast where their fat, creamy oysters come from. It may sound strange to those with preconceived notions, but the place has the exact vibe of a well-done Burning Man camp, including the sense of being comfortably ensconced in the environment. The constant presence of the benign outdoors--beside the operation's hooped greenhouses--is absolutely perfect for a restaurant that prides itself on fresh, hyper-local produce, fish, and beverages. And what food! The menu is small plates...except for some larger whole-fish options. The strategy is to order 2-3 per person and share. This ensures that you are getting a cascade of delightful flavor combinations that remain surprisingly subtle despite deep character and a broad flavor palate that ranges from the mild creaminess of cannelloni beans and bacon sparkles under a small slab of baked hake, to a scallop grilled in a soup of Thai green curry. Flavors combine to gently surprise: tree ear mushrooms and fresh dill, candy-sweet cherry tomatoes and tarragon, kale with truffle oil. The combinations are so insightful and unexpected that it's often tricky to identify them, even though the dishes remain clean, simple, and pure. The extreme freshness and site-specificity of the ingredients means that quantities are limited and the dishes on offer are constantly cycling. If you see something that looks good, order quick before it changes to something new! The service is excellent, with a young, skilled and friendly staff both in the front of the house and in the open kitchen; a snafu with our order was quickly and easily resolved. Unsurprisingly, the bar offers local alcohol, including Padstow Brewery's excellent modern and traditional beers/ales, and Tarquin's interesting gins. The POTL team also has a taqueria in Padstow, and apparently the temporary tent will be replaced with a permanent structure next year. I hope they find a way to retain the current feeling of the place, because it's just perfect (even though the season is quite short). Be sure to reserve WELL in advance. Though you have no sense of packed busyness while there, this place books out during the summer season, and it would be a pity to miss out on food that tidily upends Britain traditional reputation for bad cooking.

The portions of fish were generous and the price is right for what you get. The service was well-- serviceable but I wish they were a bit more attentive. We finished our meal and waited probably a good 10 minutes before we had to ask for the check. Then we waited another 10 minutes for us to wait until we finally had to ask to server about paying and we got directed to the front to pay. Perhaps we Americans have a different set of expectations at restaurant and I'm certain there was an amount of miscommunication on our part. I still love the food and totally recommend visiting here for the food but I just wish that we were a bit more clued in as far was the check was concerned.

There is a great selection of other restaurants nearby. Save your time on stopping here.

The good: Let me…read morestart with the best: the food. Really nice. Although, the burger was so high it was quite unpractical. I asked, and the beef is local. I asked about the chips, and was told the chips are not made in the restaurant. They looked standard to me. Tables are spaced fairly far apart. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Cutlery, crockery of good quality. The bathroom is alright. Soap and hand lotion. Upstairs is prettier than downstairs, in my opinion. However, when I was there it was out of season and quiet so upstairs was closed. The bad: The prices in this restaurant are too high. A soup costs 9.50 pounds for example. That would have been alright if the service was of the same standard as the food. It is not. It is so mediocre that my rating drops from 5 to 3 stars. On the other hand I must admit that I am from the continent and have hardly ever found quality service in a British restaurant. But you judge: My friend sat down, while I asked where I can hang my coat. This meant I came to the table one minute after him. The waitress had greeted him and told him today's special and was about to walk off, when I said I didn't hear that sorry. The waitress took our drink order. A minute later a male waiter came to take our drink order too. A minute later a thrid waiter came to serve the drinks. Chaos. The waiter who took out food order served our food too, but couldn't remember which one of us ordered what! One waiter used the word 'like' (the way American kids do) about 12 times in one minute. In other words, service that is quite normal for 75 a regular restaurant. Just not one that is fairly expensive.

We've had great fresh Oysters on this Road Trip. The best ones we've had at Loch Fyne…read moreOysters....and - our number one - at Moran's Oyster Cottage near Galway. So we wondered if this place can compete or even take the throne. In short: No. The Oysters are nicely presented and indeed very fresh and good sized. But they lack the smoothness and creaminess of the places we've mentioned above. They're good, but not great. Service was a bit basic, not as friendly as I would expect it to be in such a place. And they quite made some calculation mistakes with the bill. Had to correct them twice. Good Oysters - yes. Best ones - no. But if you won't go anywhere near our top choices, this place still is a good option. There is other fresh seafood available too.
