Burgers & Fish in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

This is such an amazing place to go for the prawns! They’re the best prawns we have ever had, highly recommend them. The cocktails are incredible too and it’s dog friendly which is great. Inside is lovely decor and the staff were very helpful and attentive. Our go to place in padstow to eat and highly recommend

Weekend escape in Padstow, and once again, this restaurant exceeded our expectations. We chose an all-seafood menu, a large plate of butterflied prawns with chimichurri sauce and crispy squid. Followed by Cornish mussels in cider sauce and perfectly roasted local Haddock with chargrilled broccoli. Divine! Ended with a cheese plate and port. Lovely staff and cosy atmosphere. Keep it up!

A ready superb hidden restaurant in the town. Five star food, lovely ambiance & decor. Very professional, confident front of house. The food was on par with the other big named chefs situated in Padstow. Can be casual dining or dress up for a special occasion. There is a good selection of wines, spirits & cocktails. Lunchtime offers a two or three course meal at a reasonable set cost. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great menu selection with plenty of choices for all. The food was well presented and everyone enjoyed their meal. We came as a group with pram and a dog, the waitress was friendly and accommodating

What a brilliant restaurant in Padstow! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the attractive interior. It has modern yet cozy vibe that makes it perfect spot for a special evening out. The staff was not only friendly but extremely knowledgeable offering great recommendations and explaining the menu with confidence. We shared a bowl of spicy chicken wings. Wow what an explosion of flavours. Then I opted for fish and chips, I have to say, it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had - crispy batter on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. And don’t even get me started about on the homemade tomato ketchup!! It was so good, I couldn’t get enough of it(I bought a bottle). My partner picked juicy Almost famous burger(wagyu), which was loaded with flavour and cooked to perfection. To finish off, we indulged in the brownie sundae, and wow - out of this world! Rich, chocolatey brownie topped with salted caramel ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Burgers & Fish restaurant is definitely one to visit if you’re ever in Padstow.

It was nice to return to this restaurant during the busy bank holiday weekend. The restaurant was buzzing with great vibes. The staff were lovely and attentive. We shared a round of starters: cheesy mac bites, squid, and arancini balls, all packed with great flavors. The octopus and hake were outstanding, and the kids enjoyed their cheeseburgers and chocolate brownies. A great way to finish the summer holidays at our favorite restaurant in Padstow.

Really nice place to eat. Great atmosphere. The staff are really nice, polite and attentive. The food is lovely and really good size, you won’t leave wanting more I assure you. You could say it’s a few pounds per head more expensive but it’s worth it when you come away laughing still and pleasantly stuffed. Thanks to our waiter, he was a gent..⭐️

Dropped in on a very busy day for lunch with my daughter, ordered the ‘Almost Famous’ wagu burger - simply amazing, side of skin on fries and some homemade (secret recipe) ketchup - out of this world!!! Staff were all friendly and professional, and didn’t have to wait for service !

First visit for an evening meal. Warm friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. Food was lovely and service was great. Nice touch with a candle in the sundae for our anniversary.

We came here with friends on their recommendation. We opted for the burger...£20, and that was the cheapest burger. It lacked taste, honestly had better burgers at well known drive through! The waiter asked if we wanted water on the table....£4.80 for water on bill. Plus service charge. Very expensive lunch. Drinks very expensive. £5 for a elderflower presse. Style over substance at it's best.

Amazing. Lovely drinks. Amazing food ( I recommend the halloumi salad) lovely staff. Beautiful restaurant ————————-

A hidden gem. Worth a visit! Everything was spot on! Our best meal of the week! Plus great service and yummy cocktails. We will be back!

Wasnt great. Service fine, cocktails good, food disappointing. Hubby had the most expensive burger on the menu and still had better burgers elsewhere. Dripping in grease all over the plate, tough and mince clearly wasn't a great quality. We make far better burgers at home using real grass fed mince beef . Hate leaving a bad review but I have to be honest. It wasn't the best and def would not be eating here again.

Burgers were okay, but no way near worth the £21 price tag and we still left hungry. We was further charged a service fee - what that covered I have no idea as we waited 40 minutes for the burgers, was barely checked on and overall felt like it was an inconvenience to be eating there. We was also asked on entry if we wanted some water for the table only to find we charged for that as well! Ended up paying £80 for 3 mediocre burgers and tap water. So disappointed that a business can slap the word "gourmet" on the menu and think they can charge the earth. Lesson learnt not to check reviews for going.

£55 for two burgers & chips and two non alcoholic drinks. Food was ok but not worth £21 a burger! Like other reviews found the meat bland. My advice is save your money. I wish I had read the reviews before eating here.

We hadn’t made a reservation however the staff who greeted us when we arrived were friendly, and promptly showed us to a table. The restaurant has a really lovely feel to it and was spotlessly clean although it was very quiet for a Saturday evening. It’s dog friendly too! Throughout the evening the service we received was really good and both the waiter and waitress who served us were polite and efficient. There are some nice dishes on the menu to choose from; we both opted for a burger and shared some mac & cheese bites. The food was good, but in all honesty we wouldn’t rave about it. The prices are high and it didn’t really feel worth it. We had a nice evening but we likely wouldn’t return.

The surroundings are simply beautiful, offering a serene and inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The staff at this restaurant deserves special mention; they were incredibly helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made our visit even more pleasant. Cornish mussels served with a cider sauce were divine, offering a perfect balance of flavors that elevated the fresh, plump mussels. The combination was both innovative and comforting. Equally impressive was the Hake served with a delicate fennel sauce and contrasting black rice. The hake was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender, and the fennel sauce provided a subtle aniseed twist that complemented the fish beautifully. This restaurant truly excels at creating an unforgettable dining experience that is well worth a visit.

We had booked but it was almost empty. The tone was set at the beginning when the greeter told us where we could hang our coats but didn’t offer to hang them up for us, although didn’t appear to be run off his feet. The menu is adequate although for a self-titled ‘Burger and Fish’ restaurant, in a Cornish harbour, there was a surprisingly limited number of fish options. They were expensive; £32 for sea bream with a few accompaniments for example. The food was OK, really nothing special. There were only 2-3 other covers whilst we were there, so the staff (who were on the whole pleasant enough), could have lovely long catch up chats throughout the evening.

I had to try this Almost Famous burger, a sumptuous creation featuring Wagyu meat that was rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. The hake dish, which my girlfriend had, was also a delightful surprise, fresh and delicious. Service was attentive and friendly, contributing to the overall positive experience. The ambiance inside was vibrant, with a nice buzz that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting for anyone looking for quality food in a lively setting.

Felt ripped off. Very over priced and then bill did not reflect the prices ( added 10 percent ) and then what was actually charged to my account was another 10 percent on top. Was definitely not worth the 40 pounds per head for fish and chips ( one glass of wine only, rest of drinks were water).

Fabulous welcome, choice of tables, great menu choice, food was divine. Restaurant is slightly off the path but has a sign out on the path. Booking essential but worth it.

Visited burgers and fish for lunch with my family when on holiday this week. Enjoyed a fantastic burger (I chose the almost famous burger as it’s the name of my favourite burger restaurant at home in Manchester!) it certainly did not disappoint! Portion size was great - lots of burger places go nuts on their portion sizes but here they were more sensible so I wasn’t left needing a nap after eating! Service was fast and our waitress couldn’t do enough for us. Loved the decor, the music, the food and the drink (try the Padstow Pislner if you get a chance!)

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon around 3pm,so it was quiet but the food & service were great, we had the Almost Famous burger, Classic cheeseburger & the Fish & Chips, everyone enjoyed their food, the music playing was just right & our waitress Danielle was brilliant! We’ll be back…

We were in for a treat at this Padstow restaurants. Superb crunchy fish and chips, flaky cod fish. My wife had a Wagyu burger and it was so juicy, it's like flavour explosion. Pitcher mojito was nothing short of incredible.

Indulging in 'Almost Famous' wagyu burger was an absolute delight! The juiciness of the meat was unparalleled, each mouthful bursting with rich flavor that left me craving more with every bite. The succulent Wagyu beef burger, cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth, leaving a heavenly sensation that lingered long after the last morsel was devoured. The combination of whisky and bacon jam with crispy onions and cheddar cheese elevated this burger to a level beyond compare. Definitely the best burger in Padstow.

A beautifully decorated restaurant with great atmosphere. Excellent friendly service. Good music playing in the background. The food was superb. 3 of us had Burgers and 1 had the Fish and Chips - all were delicious and ample portions. The home-made tomato sauce was a winner - we came away with a jar but wish we had bought more!! Enjoyed my pink gin. They sold local wines and beers too. We would highly recommend.

My husband and I visited this restaurant today (3rd Feb). We were celebrating my birthday and our wedding anniversary. The whole experience was just fantastic. The food was amazing and service was just excellent. The lovely man that looked after us was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant

The fish was remarkably fresh and well cooked. The star of the meal was haddock with black rice risotto and fennel sauce. Sauvignon wine complemented this dish. Staff's knowledge and recommendation enhanced our dining experience.

Tasty food, BBQ octopus was delightful with mash and romesco sauce, full of flavour. And Haddock with Vienitian black rice and fennel sauce were the highlight of the evening. It was a great evening with family, finished with brownie sundaes.

Visited as a party of 13 for the birthday of one of the group. Food was good but very over priced. My husband had one of the burgers £18.95 and I had the same burger but ‘naked’ as offered on the menu. So no burger...

We came back with our friends to Burgers & Fish restaurant. A friends were very impressed. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The burger stole the show - juicy, well-seasoned patty with fresh toppings on a perfect brioche bun. Good and delicious cocktails created nice mood. Overall, a fantastic spot for burger lovers, highly recommended!

Burgers & Fish is a gem that offers a refreshing take on classic dishes. Whether you’re a burger enthusiast or a seafood lover, this place has something special to offer. The staff were extremely helpful, ensuring a delightful dining experience. We left with a satisfied...

Well spend lunch with friends. Good decor, nice ambience and attentive service. Local mussels with toasted focaccia were tasty and a good match with local ale.

Cornish mussels in cider sauce were delightful. Sauce was really tasty and complimented dish very well. Kids shared fish & chips and finished their meal with brownies. Customer service was superb.

Absolutely blown away with this restaurant! The food, the choices, the ambience, the service and the quality of this place is unrivalled. Loved, loved, loved every mouthful, the best chips ever, great naked burger option that tasted devine with the bean burger. An absolute find,...

Beautiful place with great ambience. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Cocktails were tasty and creative. Octopus was the tastiest dish I ever had. Highly recommended.

Tasty food, mussels were delightful with Cornish cider sauce, full of flavour. And hake with Vienitian black rice and fennel sauce were the highlight of the evening.

Popped in for a burger. And it was great flavour combination. Ordered a Full English with smoked bacon and crispy egg. It was epic. Get Padstow IPA beer it goes well together. Highly recommended.

Limited menu but reasonable quality food. Wasn’t full when everywhere else was. Staff attentive. However no draught beer and £5.70 for a can is excessive, as was the price of wine. The drinks cost would prevent me from returning

We have visited this restaurant a number of times over the years. And it never disappoints. Their crafted gourmet burgers and seafood dishes exude an understated elegance that leaves a lasting impression. Simplicity is elevated to perfection. Menu is well priced compared to other places...

We had a delightful evening at Burgers and restaurant restaurant. We were created by welcoming staff. Cocktail list had a wide choice, Pawnstar martini was exceptionally crafted. Mussels for were cooked to perfection with Cornish cider sauce. And burgers looked amazing and well received by...

Gorgeous restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. Best chicken burger I think I’ve ever had and a lovely espresso martini. Highly recommend.

Burgers were good, but they they should be - how can you get a burger wrong? Slack service - waiter plonks the bottle of wine on the table and doesn't even open it for us. Two burgers/fries, bottle of water and a bottle of wine...

Lovely meal while on holiday with the family. The meals we had are in the restaurant name…Cheeseburger & sea bream. Both were excellent. Top drawer service by the waiting staff who were very attentive. If I was let down by anything…it was the poor quality...

The restaurant is nice from the outside tucked away from the main street. Waited for approx 10 mins to be seated as they were short staffed, then the waiting game continued for the menu and then ordering. 4 x slices of cake, 2 x hot...

The food was very expensive given it was only average. Add to that the drinks were shockingly expensive. There are far better and more fairly priced options in Padstow - we won't be rushing back!

Overpriced burgers, cold food for me, what a shame. Sure there are better places to eat in Padstow. Must try harder or reduce prices to compete. Staff were lovely though and tried their best. Others in party had better experience than me food wise.

Food very overpriced indeed and only average. Not worth a visit with so many other good places to eat in Padstow.

Loved the vibe of burger and fish and the quirky decor. Probably one of the best burgers Iv had. food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Vastly overpriced. Staff very helpful but seemed embarrassed when I queried paying £13 for a glass of wine. Food ok but just OK for the price. Feel mugged off will never return

Very busy restaurant in the middle of padstow. I hadn’t looked at the reviews until after we had been. Food is ok - nothing special to rate about. However, the overall price was a little high to say that we had only starters and main courses. Not a place we would rush back to unfortunately.

I understand that the hospitality industry needs help but the way we were treated was horribleYes it's overpriced but it's half term in Padstow so you don't really have much choiceWe ordered 3 bacardi and cokes. We all asked for just a little coke. Just 3. Which came to almost £45! I was blown away. Upon complaining we were told that it's automatically 50ml. Which is scary considering a lot of people drive. We weren't given a drinks menu so couldn't check. Also £3.95 EACH for a dash of coke. Even though that's the same price for a whole glass.When I complained about this they said they had to open a new can for each dash. So we said we'd have the rest of the can then but we're told we couldn't.A horrible, horrible experience. My daughter had a pint of apple juice which was £9.90. It was the cheapest cartoned stuff you've ever seen.We all work hard for our money these days but I've never felt so sad and hurt to be ripped off like that. There was no need for itThe food was average at best and like most other reviews £12.95 for kids pasta, about 5 bits of tagliatelle was again, horrible to pay.If this is what they want to charge I guess they will but I'm writing this review so that no one else has to go through our experienceAvoidAvoidAvoidHorrible

I was very unhappy about our dinner for 6 on Friday 29th October.I booked a table in advance for dinner for 6 people at 6pm on the above date.I wasn’t aware of the comment made to one of our group whilst I was at the ladies room that the restaurant were pushed for time!We ordered our food as quick as it was requested and when it came to dessert there was a wait for the menu then we were then told sorry the next table is due and we couldn’t have a dessert and had to leave we had only been an hour and a half , to think we were an early table and be treated in such a manner shocked me , especially as Im always so organised booking tables for everyone. It was the staffs fault for being so slack if time was limited! Also why book tables with such a short sitting time?Plus the food was nice but the prices were over inflated!Looking forward to hearing from you.Vicki Bentley

Food was good but not what you would expect for a £20 burger. I understand padstow is an expensive place to eat but if I’m paying that much, I expect outstanding food. Also children’s meal are £12.95 which for the portion size you get is crazy, then they charge £1.50 for extra parmesan! Staff were nice but had to ask to get cutlery to be able to eat our mains when they arrived!

The restaurant itself is very nice internally, although I had a view of the door which wasn’t so appealing. The staff were very nice. Sadly the food was disappointing. I’d expect a restaurant with the word burger in the title and in Padstow to serve excellent burgers but I found mine to be a little dry and not particularly tasty. The tomato relish tasted a little too much like tomato purée with a few bits added and spoiled the overall flavour. The chips were very salty and even my children didn’t finish them! The child’s meal was outrageously expensive for two chicken goujons - I had mistakenly thought the £12.95 price tag included the dessert and drink but alas it was just the main. I wouldn’t go back I’m afraid.

Eye watering (bordering on offensive) prices for acceptable/average food. I have no problem forking out the thick end of £20 for a burger and chips if it is the finest burger I have ever tasted. This however, was not. £13 for a pretty small portion of bought in deep fried squid is also ridiculous. Expect to pay upwards of £15 for a cocktail. Our bill for 2 starters and 3 mains was £147 with drinks. Ouch!The service was OK - one lad in particular was great, but his colleagues much less so. I get that the hospitality industry has had a tough time lately, but this approach of average food at exorbitant prices is not a long term solution if you want to keep your customers happy and returning.

This place, is incredible! My wife and I wanted to find somewhere cosy to have a late lunch in Padstow and came across this place as we walked past. We were not disappointed, the food here is off the scale good. the mac and cheese bites were perfectly complimented with a bacon mayo but the chicken wings are like nothing I’ve ever tasted before. The chicken falls off the bone, normally I’d go in hands first but didn’t need to as they were so tender. I don’t think I’ll order wings again unless it’s from this place. We had the BBQ “porkie” and the chicken burger “bird in a bun”. The burgers were excellent, flavours not too overpowering and the meat was so juicy. We loved this place so much we came back the next day. You need to try this place.

On a day trip to Padstow with no preconceived plan for where to eat we happened upon Burgers & Fish and were suitably tempted by the menu on display outside.This is key. The menu (with pricing) is displayed clearly outside the restaurant. So for all those put off by the ridiculous reviews on this site stating words to the effect of “delicious food but so expensive” it’s worth making the point that all these clowns had the opportunity to see the pricing before setting food in the restaurant, so to proceed to eat and then complain about the cost on a reviews site is pretty poor form.We were greeted immediately after entering the building and shown straight to a table. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was fairly quiet. Drinks order was taken swiftly, as was the food order and both the starter and main course arrived promptly.Service was very friendly and the chap who delivered our food to us was clearly very passionate about both the quality of the food they serve (and where it’s sourced) and what they’re trying to achieve at the restaurant.The salt & pepper squid starter was sublime. Good, meaty pieces of squid that was substantial but not in the least bit rubbery, finished in a delicious light batter.But the main course was the real showstopper - pan fried hake on a bed of black rice, cherry tomatoes and some other bits I forget the specifics of. Really flavoursome and balanced, and complemented superbly by the ‘posh fries’ (fries with truffle oil and shavings of two different types of parmesan cheese - shipped directly from Italy, we were told). It was unreal.My wife sidestepped the starter in favour of a main course and dessert. Her cheeseburger was, in her words, “meaty, flavoursome and utterly delicious.”After a little gap to let the mains go down, the meal was finished with a seriously substantial brownie sundae for her, and a quite magnificent affogato for me.Unfortunately, with us living the best part of five hours away, it will be some time before we return but when we next return to Padstow we’ll be making a bee-line for Burgers & Fish because it was truly excellent from start to finish.

Called in short notice as let down badly by Rick Stein’s St Petrocs. Couldn’t be more helpful and managed to fit us in. Food was great and staff and service friendly and professional.

Two members of the front of house team worked furiously but they were obviously understaffed. This meant people arriving had a short wait and once seated drinks were taking a time to arrive. The food was good and the staff welcoming.

The four of us dined at Burgers and Fish last night and had a superb meal. The restaurant had just the right atmosphere. It wasn’t overly busy, but had enough of a buzz to feel extremely comfortable. I opted for a burger given the name of the place and have to say that it was the best I’ve had for a considerable period of time. We were attended by Emily who took good care of us. The bill was more than acceptable and should we visit Padstow again, I’ll be sure to pay them a call.

We chose Burgers and Fish as the menu looked good. It was a little pricey but we were on holiday so thought we would treat ourselves. When we arrived our drinks order was taken and brought out quite quickly. Unfortunately things slowed down considerably after that. We only ordered mains and waited an hour and twenty minutes for our food. The rating would have been much lower but the staff dealt with it really well. After about 45 mins we asked about our food and the manager apologised and explained they had some problems in the kitchen. He gave us a free round of drinks and kept us informed. When the food finally came out he apologised again and gave us a discount on the food bill. The food itself was superb. Everyone really enjoyed it. I had the baked cod and couldn’t fault it. It’s just a shame there was such along wait or it would have been 5 stars.

Small upstairs restaurant in the centre of Padstow and served lovely food. Shared the calamari and prawn starters and had fish mains. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyable dinner.

very delicious & tasty food. in big servings, its worth of the price. staffs are very accommodating and friendly. will definitely come back. I would recommends to all my friends and family.

Dinner for two. Seated immediately. Drinks arrived quickly. Excellent burgers, excellent chips and excellent dessert, which arrived quickly. Our waiter, Hugh, was great. It’s so nice to get the whole package - doesn’t happen that often, but it did here! Thank you.

We visited for dinner during our holiday, and ended up being seriously underwhelmed and out of pocket. Prices are extortionate for some very, very average food and drink. I paid £13 for a ‘pink g&t cocktail’ which was essentially a normal g&t with some chunks of strawberry in it. My partner ordered a chicken burger which was both greasy and dry - he said he felt as though he had paid £19 for a McChicken sandwich from McDonald’s! The food looks absolutely nothing like the professional photos they use to advertise. The service was also average - friendly people, but not particularly attentive and there was a big wait for food even though it wasn’t that busy. They charge the same prices (if not more) as Paul Ainsworths’ Caffe Rojano down the road where the food is exquisite and you’re treated like royalty. Avoid and save your money!

Firstly I'd like to thank the staff, there was a young woman waiting on the tables and a lovely woman at the bar also helping with service, I believe one was called Danielle.We turned up with our little boy who was a bit grumpy, the one lady brought some cooled cucumber sticks over which helped him calm down and sit in his chair, we didn't even request anything!The service continued to be great throughout our meal and the food was also very good with our little one enjoying his food very much and the attention he was getting.Would highly recommend to anyone but especially families in an otherwise chaotic part of the world.

Service was slow and not particularly attentive, burger was fine, but that’s all, nothing special. Prices for the food, normal for what seems to be the current Padstow levels. Drinks menu, totally extortionate. If I’m paying these prices, I expect it to be exceptional, it was not…

Had great lunchtime meal for myself, my wife and two old friends. Swift service, food prepared as requested, plentiful amounts, well cooked. Very enjoyable visit.

We visited here on a family holiday, to be honest, we only booked this due to struggling to find anywhere in Padstow that had availability! We were relieved when this place said they could squeeze us in for an evening meal. When we arrived, we were barely greeted, merely ushered to the nearest clear table. My partner ordered a beer and Diet Coke, I ordered a gin and tonic (£10 for a single!) and my daughter had an orange juice (£3.95) for a child’s juice. The waiter forgot the coke and as no one came to check on us prior to food arriving it was some time until we managed to find someone to request the coke be brought to the table. To start, I ordered the hummus with pitta and my partner ordered the Vietnamese chicken wings. I can honestly say I was astounded when my started arrived, there was barely a quarter of a small Pitta on my plate, uncooked! For a cost of £8.95 I couldn’t believe the bare cheek of them to serve up such a measly meal so unapologetically arrogantly! For main, we ordered a chicken burger, the big breakfast burger and a child’s burger. My eight year old commented hers tasted like McDonalds! Both adult burgers were mediocre to say the least, not much taste and very flimsy, for £18 each I honestly thought Ant and Dec were hiding in the kitchen about to come out and tell us we had been set up on Saturday Night takeaway! However, when the receipt arrived, I realised we had not been set up and we ended up paying £110 for a meal we could have had at McDonalds!I’m more than happy to pay more for quality, but, this place seems to run more off of the famous friends it showcases to have visited the restaurant, rather than concentrating on the quality of the food and service it provides! Don’t waste your money, there are so many wonderful hidden gems in the small villages around Padstow that are way more deserving of your hard earned money.

Food O K, limited menu but very overpriced for what it was. £20 for a burger main and £14 for a starter is unwarranted for what you got. Unfortunately the service was very poor and certainly didn’t justify the prices. Limited toilet facilities also disappointing. I don’t mind paying for quality but felt totally ripped off

Nice food but very expensive for burger and chips.. almost £20, very over priced, drinks were also very expensive. Food took longer than expected to be brought out considering there were only about 4 other tables dining. We were sat right next to a family of 6 when there was plenty of other tables available. We felt like we were having our dinner with them we were that close and not very Covid safe with social distancing. When looking around, the table booth chairs were all ripped and looked a mess. Probably wouldn’t return here however I did enjoy my chicken burger but my partners burger was dripping with grease!

Found this lovely restaurant whilst in Cornwall recently. Great food, fantastic service. Shame we were only on holiday, would be back there more often if we lived there. Can’t recommend enough. This place was open where most places were closing for the afternoon and we just wanted a late lunch. Some of the best seafood we had whilst on our visit

Visited this week and have to say I was so disappointed. The food was nice, and the staff were very nice however service was extremely slow, and the food was absolutely not worth the extortionate amount they charge you. Nice burgers but definitely not worthy of a £20 price tag. We went in the early evening and had to wait around 45 minutes for each course to be brought out to us…even though there were only 3 other tables in the restaurant and all were already eating when we arrived. Posters up all over the restaurant reminding customers of how important it was to stay Covid safe understandably, however when using the toilets they had completely run out of soap meaning any ladies using the toilets couldn’t wash their hands properly which seems ridiculous given everything going on at the moment. Would definitely not rush back.

Good quality tasty food abs service in a great surrounding. Price was expensive for what you got but it’s at the heart of the town.

We’ve been here a few times already this year. What brings us back here is tasty food combinations, friendly staff and cosy surroundings.Mussels with cider sauce is to die for.... mac & cheese bites and salt - pepper squid were superb too.And for dessert we shared Burnt cheesecake served with local strawberries(I would recommend to add a scoop of clotted cream, that’s what we did).Coming back soon.

This place is never disappointing. Definitely a fantastic restaurant to spend your time with friends and family. The staff is very relaxed, helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very warm and welcoming.It became our favorite place to eat in Padstow.Had some nice cocktails, Aperol Spritz is a must. Food great as always. Flavors beautifully balanced. This time Monkfish was of the menu, but Octopus with silky mash and Romesco sauce always a winner.Thumbs up from our family. We'll be back soon.

This is as it says a burger and fish bar very basic food nothing fancy at all. Although the food is good it is certainly not worth the money, fish and chips came with fries for £20 I expected proper chips cooked fresh, children’s meal £12.95 for just a main meal 2 small scoops of ice cream £6.80 and then they had the audacity to charge £1 for a bit of sauce. We are local people and like to support our local businesses but unfortunately I will not be dining at the burger and fish in Padstow ever again.. I have a photo of my receipt for 6 people and 1 child

8.95 for a bacardi and a extra 4 pound for a shot of lemonade, half of larger 6.80 .I. sorry but you are mugging people off .lovely place , staff very good , food was nothing special but ok , just ruined the whole experience knowing your being ripped off .

The title sums it up, very expensive for incredibly mediocre food. Uses local ingredients which is nice but not worth the price tag at all. Dont waste your money here.

Very shocking pricing! The sort that you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant £29.95 for cod! £6.50 for a pint of cider! £3.95 for a small glass of Coca Cola! Now I know that businesses in the south west have to make their money in the peak season but this pricing really does not justify the quality of food or service we received unfortunately. However the food and service was good but not outstanding which you would expect with this price calibre.

Very nice interiors and good food and service but just too expensive. In my opinion just not good value for money which is a shame because if prices were just moderated would be up there as one of the best restaurants in Padstow. Shame

The food was lovely and the service was faultless. The staff were attentive and genuine. Some people mention that they feel it is over priced, I would disagree , the food was fantastic and so was the service. The prices are advertised so people claiming it was expensive know what they are booking before they arrived so have the choice to pick a cheaper option.

Went last night for a meal, average burger was around £20 and for that price you expect it to be the best burger ever but it was below average at best, my wife ordered a vodka and coke and restaurant prices you expect a bit more than the average pub but when the bill came I almost died £9.95 just for the vodka (which was Smirnoff not an expensive brand) and over £3.95 for the coke. I’m not been funny I’ve traveled to some of the worlds most expensive cities and never paid that much for a drink. How can they justify charging that much for such a rubbish burger and drinks. Will be spreading the word to AVOID at all cost.

Nice place with a quite a simple menu with not many options. Couldn’t really fault the burgers, well cooked but the meat was nothing special, the fries were fantastic. The veggie halloumi salad was great and the service was excellent. Constructive criticism would be the pricing… the adult burgers just come with fries and start at £16 and the kids menu was ridiculous, a main kids meal was £13, and a glass of orange juice was £5 and clearly from concentrate. A gin and tonic will set you back £13 and you can expect to be charged £1.50 for mayonnaise…..This could just be a post Covid thing though as got the sense a lot of the restaurants in the area could effectively name their price and were trying to make up losses from the lockdowns.

Visited in August. Atmosphere was great, food was ok but shocked at the price of the final bill in comparison to the quality of the food. A burger cost the best part of £20 which is completely disproportionate compared to other restaurants in the area. A simple chicken wing starter cost £13, a third higher than all other restaurants visited on our trip and completely ridiculous considering what it is. We are very supportive of the hospitality industry considering everything that has happened but at these prices it is hard not to assume that this is a business profiteering from the influx of tourists in Cornwall this summer.

So an intimate venue with pictures of Gordon Ramsey and Jack Whitehall as customers you know you’re in for treat in this initiate venue. Even so, hands down the best burgers we’ve ever had, no hyperbole. Also all of the staff were very attentive and Hugh who spent the most time helping us, was excellent - good descriptions, chat, and service. Best meal we’ve had in Padstow and we’ve tried a few of the well regarded places. Recommend.

Thoroughly disappointed in the last visit we made to this restaurant. I really loved this restaurant but not anymore..Alcoholic and soft drinks served in warm glasses.Told couldn’t have fresh lime in our vodka lime and sodas (even though fresh lime was used to garnish our starters).Heavy duty soft drink glasses used for alcoholic drinks – at a pricey £13.00 for a single vodka lime and soda (with no fresh lime) – total lack of presentationAdvertised menu outside the restaurant doesn’t represent what is available - 2 main courses have been stopped- only told this at point of ordering by Waiter. (BBQ monk fish tail and Crab roll).Raised this disappointment to the Manager who initially offered a bottle of wine- house / nibbles for our next visit -however at point of the Manager raising this to the owner the fed back was to say the misleading menu is going to still be advertised – the menu is only a sample – both the Manager and Waiter didn’t know this, otherwise why wasn’t this explained at point of orderingIf it is a sample menu then why it is just a case of options being stopped and nothing exciting added in their places – advertising boards would change on regular basis and Waiters would walk you through the amendments on arrival which would add to a positive exiting experience - What an absolute shame the owner is not focused on customer experience. Unfortunately, won’t be returning.

We have eaten here many times before on our frequent trips to Padstow and this used to be a firm family favourite until this visit. The food wasn’t as good as previously, but was okay. What wasn’t okay was the extortionate prices being charged suddenly. The price of everything had gone up considerably, with a chicken burger now nearly £20 and the rest are also very overpriced. What topped it off though was when we saw the bill to find a gin and tonic was £14.50! We don’t even pay that at in London. I was glad none of us wanted mayonnaise at £1.50 extra for sauces per person- including mayonnaise that usually comes for free anywhere else. We had two main courses, chips and 4 drinks which came to over £110. For a burger restaurant that is far too much and I was glad we didn’t have the kids with us too as it would have cost us over £200. It was a family favourite but sadly is off the list of places for us until they sort out their pricing.

Wonderful atmosphere, decor and location. Staff work hard. The welcome could be better, it’s never nice to be told to acknowledge you only have 2 hours to enjoy dinner, (it was made clear in the online booking already). Whilst I can’t complain about the quality of the food, apart from the dreadful cheesecake, I feel that the price is wholly inflated for what you’re actually getting. I don’t want to consider that it might be a result of exploiting the current situation this year - demand out weighing supply, £12.50 for a child’s burger & chips meal, in my opinion is massively overpriced. B&F should consider being more competitive in price to like for like restaurants in the surrounding area, many of which we have visited this summer. Caution advised prior to booking, the food is undoubtedly very good but not deserving of the cost.

The service was really good but the food is seriously over priced. £12.95 for 1 child’s burger is a lot.There was another £7 for a kids desert too Then we paid £4.95 for a carton apple juice. AdultBurgers had a smaller portion of fries than the children. They were nice but when paying nearly £20 (incl an extra £2 for bacon) if expect tastier and cooked to choice. What annoyed me more than anything was paying £1.50 for a portion of mayonnaise that I only used a teaspoon of. Even if it was home made I would not expect to pay extra. The wine was extortionate at nearly £10 for a 175ml glass so I avoided that. We’ve just eaten at St Petroc’s Bistro and the food quality was exceptional and was actually cheaper than B&F! Kids meals (including a steak) were £9.95 for 3 courses and the apple juice was £3.50! Service a fabulous too. We won’t be back at B&F. Way too expensive for what it is.

We appreciate that times are very difficult in the catering business and that Padstow is busier than ever. We had a booking for 6 people including a 6 and 7 year old at 8.30pm (we couldn’t get anything earlier) and our first course which involved 2 VERY simple sharing Deli Boards arrived at 10pm. When we asked for extra bread as it came with only 2 slices we were charged extra £3.95 notwithstanding the fact it had taken 1hr30 mins to arrive!! The children were quite literally starving and hoovered them up! Our main course arrived at 10.30pm and when we were asked whether we wanted any condiments we duly requested mayonnaise to go with the burgers and chips. Three little pots arrived with a portion for one person. We had the Korean Drean £17.90 x3; One bird in a Bun £18.95; 1x mussels £18.95 and 1x kids fish &chips £12.95. Eating in a restaurant imagine our total surprise that they CHARGED £1.50 for each POT of the MAYONNAISE!!! I expect to be charged in a local takeaway but not whilst dining in a restaurant. This has never ever happened anywhere I have dined before and we were never even advised!!Our entire bill with drinks etc came to £240 I am simply appalled- the slow service I can forgive - however being charged extra for the bread after 90 minutes for the starter to arrive and then £4.50 for 3 portions of Mayonnaise is just unacceptable in a restaurant. I wonder if they charged all their ‘famous’ customers for theses????

I can’t believe Iam reading the reviews for the same restaurant where we have been every time we go to Cornwall and it’s proved faultless.In fact this time our table wasn’t ready so the manager gave us drinks & nibbles on the house whilst waiting at the bar!Yes it’s not the cheapest but if you’re looking for a regular burger for kids then go to Burger King.Food is outstanding and cooked to perfection. I wouldn’t go there with young children as it’s not that type of restaurant. One of the best in Padstow! Staff all very professional & friendly!

I will start with a positive….. the king prawn starter was enough for two, tasted great, served hot and priced fairly.Now for the whole dinning experience.From arrival to receiving our main course it was 1 and 1/2hrs, we needed to ask when our expected food ETA would be….There 5 mins or less reply was actually 25 mins…. is this Cornish time! The cost of non alcohol beer was exorbitant at £6.30 per half and disappointingly only one option available. Service wise our (chap) waiter was polite and friendly however the young lady was either new to hospitality or just back from the Olympics having won gold in discus throwing…. who knew plates could survive such impact. The cost for two adults for a shared starter (the only positive) two burgers, four non alcoholic drinks and tap water was just shy of £90 so no this wasn’t value for money or a particularly enjoyable experience. We tried it and have learnt not to try it again.

The food was average but the prices were very high! We paid almost £20 for a veggie bean burger with a slice of cheese. They also charged £1.50 for condiments and only gave you a tiny pot. There aren’t that many places to eat in padstow so we only ate here as it was the only place we could get a booking. For what it was, the food was very expensive.

Enjoyed our time here, it’s a nice ambiance and a good environment. My veggie burger was really good, lovely smoky sauce, as were the kids burgers and my wife’s classic burger, all polished off. The price of the drinks is an issue though. £5 for an apple juice and £4 for a Diet Coke is a personal record on both, even compared to London prices, outrageous actually! So that’s £18 for 4 non alcoholic drinks (which, by comparison, cost £13 in Rick Stein’s the night before, so 1/3 cheaper!)Then i got the bill and £1 was added for chocolate sauce to my son’s ice cream, which having read the other reviews (charging for mayonnaise!) now makes sense. Waitress claimed the menu was out of date? To be fair she took it off, but I do wonder how many people would have been too embarrassed to ask? So if you go with kids, beware the kids burgers are £12 and the desserts £7 and the drinks £5. All good quality and size, but certainly if you have a lot of kids this will add up vs what you normally expect!So we left feeling like we’d had a really nice meal, but tinged by a feeling that we’d had every penny squeezed out of us too.

Reading some of the reviews I guess we must have just got lucky but we had an all round excellent experience at the restaurant at the weekend. Having struggled to find anywhere with availability on the day we stumbled across this place by chance and I admit I was hesitant because the name suggested something you find on a motorway services.However the food turned out to be excellent all round (particularly the mussels) and we have since visited a couple of the celebrity chef big hitter restaurants in the area which I have found generally grossly overpriced for far less quality and taste than this place.Would definitely go back.

Great burgers, cod main was absolutely brilliant! Staff were friendly and attentive. Good variety of options.

I don't often have a burger but this was delicious. My Veggie wife had the halloumi burgers which she also loved. Lovely local beer and mocktails, and a choccy icecream pud to die for. Lovely waitress who looked after us and advised us on local tips. Couldn't fault it.

The food was nice but very over priced. We waited a long time for our food but then felt very rushed out when they wanted their table back. Although very friendly staff, the service was very slow and not very attentive. We left feeling disappointed.
