Our story
Chef Tom Hine grew up here in Padstow. He cooked his way through some of the South West's finest kitchens — Lympstone Manor, the Seren Collection's Coast and Penmaenuchaf among them — then came home to open a place of his own.
He runs the kitchen alongside his brothers; his cousins look after you out front. By day it's an easy, welcoming cafe — breakfast, brunch and proper Cornish coffee. In the evening, it's tasting menus and small plates — a short, changing line-up built around whatever's best that week.
Just about everything is sourced within shouting distance — right down to lobster landed fresh off the Cornish coast. PL28 is Padstow's postcode, and the food, the people and the welcome are all from right here.
