It’s great to be open in Falmouth. Outside Padstow it’s my favourite seaside town in Cornwall.

I've always been fascinated by Falmouth. From childhood reading, it was one of those romantic ports where ships left to rescue nobles from revolutionary France in Scarlet Pimpernel novels. Historically it's always been a major port. It has one of the best natural harbours in Europe. It has fabulous fish and is a pretty and atmospheric Cornish town.

Jill and I have looked around Cornwall for a long time for a place to expand beyond Padstow. Our inspiration for The Seafood Restaurant originally came from a restaurant in Falmouth that we frequented during the 1970’s, so it seemed only natural to finally open our own restaurant here. It’s a place we both know well.

We’re really pleased with the way in which the fish and chip restaurant has been received and we've recently started taking reservations for the Champagne & Oyster Bar upstairs from Rick Stein's Fish & Chips. You can sit at the bar enjoying a drink and a bite to eat whilst overlooking Events Square and the ships in the harbour beyond.

And for the future who knows? We’re looking at another site in Falmouth that I think could be great for a deli, selling lots of great local produce and those wonderful Fal oysters.
