Dining suggestions for Bath and Cornwall?

Menu Gordon Brown in Bath

Paul Ainsworth’s No. 6 in Padstow

Mackerel Sky in Newlyn

Argoe in Newlyn

Porth Meor Beach Cafe St Ives

In Cornwall, The Mariners in Rock is a lovely pub with sea views. High quality food. It’s under top chef Paul Ainsworth these days.

Padstow is a well known culinary destination with several highly rated seafood restaurants. Rick Stein is a TV chef who owns a number of places there.

I always say this about Cornwall, but book now! It can be really hard to get tables due to staffing problems.

Even though I only live 10 miles from Bath I never go out there, but I do have new opening the Beckford Canteen on my radar following good reviews.

Sorry I meant Gordon Jones

Thanks all for the advice!

At Bath, we had the most amazing fish and chips ever.
It is The Scallop Shell

We had a wonderful Afternoon Tea at the Pump Room at the old Roman baths. You can also go over to the water dispenser for a glass of the mineral-infused water from the Source, which is an experience, but not as delicious as the tea or pastries they serve.

Thank you, geovagriffith and Cyn!

For coastal Cornwall you must have a dinner reservation or you'll probably be getting fish and chips from a food truck, and fighting off the seagulls. It isn't just the best places in town that will be fully booked.

Thank you ACraven

We enjoyed the Crystal Palace pub on Abbey Green for a meal and a pint. I would also second the Pump Room since it so quintessentially of Bath for breakfast or some tea. The thermal water is, erm, interesting.

I second the recommendation for Scallop Shell in Bath. Excellent food and service. Best to make a reservation though. Very popular.
