New Openings in Padstow this Season
PL28 Café, Broad Street
Gone is Broad Street Burgers, and in its place the most talked-about opening of the season is taking over prime position on Broad Street. Chef Thomas Hine (who has worked at Lympstone Manor in Devon and Penmaenuchaf in Snowdonia), is returning to his hometown of Padstow to open PL28 Café. A café by day serving breakfast, brunch and Cornish coffee, transforming into an intimate chef’s table supper club by night. Opening 27 March, this one has genuine local heart behind it, as Hine is joined by his cousin Will Derry front of house and his brother Fred in the kitchen. One to book early.

Malcom Barnecutts, The Strand
The end of Padstow’s Chough Bakery sees the welcome arrival of Cornwall’s much-loved Barnecutt’s in town. Bringing its full range of freshly baked Cornish pasties, savouries, filled rolls, cakes, and barista coffee to the heart of Padstow, this family-run institution has over 90 years of heritage behind it. The perfect spot for a pastry and coffee to kick off the day, or a pasty and picnic supplies before hitting the coast path and beaches.

The Stable, Harbour Front
The West Country’s well-known pizza and craft cider house opened on Padstow’s harbourside last year and quickly settled in as a town hotspot. Not only was it the first of The Stable’s locations to offer an exclusive new menu with larger, thinner, crispier pizza bases, alongside smashed burgers and classic fish and chips, it also serves a feast-worthy breakfast menu unique to Padstow. Open daily from 9am to 10pm, it’s an easy choice for everything a ‘whole hog brekkie’ with harbour views, to a post-beach pizza. Weekends can be busy, so book ahead or opt for takeout on the quay.

Whistlefish, South Quay
Art lovers and gift hunters roll up. Whistlefish has expanded its presence in Padstow with a new shop alongside its existing gallery on South Quay. Now the gallery and shop showcase prints, canvases, and original pieces capturing Cornwall’s coastal landscapes, alongside beautifully crafted cards and Cornish-inspired gifts. Dog-friendly and spacious, it’s a charming spot for souvenirs and a good browse beside the harbour.

The London Inn, Lanadwell Street
One of Padstow’s oldest pubs — open since 1803 — has had a new lease of life. The London Inn underwent a full refurbishment in early 2025, with a brand new bar and snug, and a new menu built around locally sourced ingredients. Yet with a facelift and under new management, it remains what it always was: a proper Cornish pub tucked just back from the harbour, with real ales, a rooftop sun trap, live music nights and muddy boots firmly welcome.

The Jetty, Harbour Hotel
Not brand new, but worth seeking out, The Jetty opened in late 2024 as Padstow’s most stylish waterside dining addition. Think sweeping views over the Camel Estuary, all-day coastal dining, and a relaxed atmosphere that works equally well for a long lunch or sundowner drinks. Try for a window seat at low tide.
