Whilst not cheap the whole dining experience at No 6 would be very difficult to beat. Food and presentation was excellent on our visit and there is plenty of choice with all sorts of unusual combinations of ingredients. Service was very good and explanation of the makeup of dishes was readily given.Value for money compared to more well known venues... More

This was our second visit to this lovely restaurant. On this occasion a Saturday lunchtime I booked the day before by email. My son has a number of food allergies I needed to share. Communication was brilliant and when we arrived the children had there own bespoke menu created specifically to meet our sons needs. A very special touch. We... More

We had an amazing family (6 adults) lunch midweek to find that Paul had been in the kitchen and as we had lingered over our desserts we got a chance to say "Hi" The food and service were absolutely top class - easily the equal of any of the multiple Michelin starred places we have also eaten More

My wife and I ate here last night ( 16th May ) everything about this restaurant is brilliant! From the friendly, efficient staff, the lovely chilled out background music and amazing attention to detail, it was all faultless! Needless to say, the food is utterly amazing. We've eaten a few times at Rick Steins seafood restaurant, which is brilliant, but... More

Paul Ainsworth at No 6 is already No 1 in the Trip Advisor tips for Padstow so probably doesn't need any other compliments but having enjoyed his signature dessert last night with my wife Liz feel I must add some further words of praise. The 'Trip to the Fairground' dessert as first seen on the Great British Menu programme may... More

We visited this restaurant following the rave reviews and were not disappointed. The staff were well informed and friendly and the food was fantastic. We asked to share a starter and it was brought to us on two separate plates to save us having to eat off one plate - the first time this has ever been done. The main... More
