I did minimal research for a day trip to Padstow during a week in Cornwall, but Prawn on the Lawn was No 1 on TripAdvisor on the day so we dropped in about an hour before lunch and booked our table for two. Lucky decision! Our seafood small plates were superb from start to finish, beginning with oysters and lovely sourdough bread and seaweed butter, followed by scallops in a Thai marinade, plus hake, fetta and pine nuts, plus sides of crispy crushed potatoes and tenderstem broccoli with almond salsa verde. Desserts were pitch-perfect too - lemon verbena mousse, sour cherry and burnt white chocolate, plus affogato - vanilla ice cream topped with espresso. Delicious manzanila sherry accompanied the oysters, a delightfully crisp, dry Muscadet (or two) for each of us with the dishes to follow. I loved the brocolli side-dish in its vivid salsa too. I'd had the same veg days earlier in a supposed 'gastropub' and it was so undercooked as to be virtually inedible. This was perfectly cooked, neither rubbery nor cooked to a mush. The timing is critical. I should add that the tall young man who was our principal waiter (sorry I didn't ask his name) was just spot-on. Affable, knowledgeable and so efficient, anticipating our every need (even curing the wobble in the table before I had a chance to ask) - an object lesson in how to do it. He did not miss a trick. As I said at the time - that was not so much a lunch as an experience. We live too far from Pastow (314 miles) to do this more often, but there's a sister restaurant in London which we'd love to try if we ever get the chance. This was a special treat for us, we are not so well off that we can often do lunch at £70 a head (including tip) but this was worth every penny.

Visited for first time last week with my wife. Beautiful setting and the food was out of this world we have to say. I did the “challenge the chef” Chefs Curry Combo and it was the best curry I have ever had anywhere- the chicken, keema and prawns all delicious and it certainly was a challenge but I managed to eat the lot. My wife had a mixed vegetable balti with coconut rice and that too was faultless. Service was so attentive and polite, honestly could not fault a thing, so much so we are returning with friends next week and a neighbour went on our recommendation two nights ago and were thoroughly impressed too, they are going back soon too. 10 out of 10 !!

A hidden gem. Don't be fooled by the location. We had to double back on our journey from Hayle back to Torpoint, and it was a revelation. Although we only had an early evening pitstop of mixed starters a salad and stir fry. It was all really fresh and tasty. Washed down of course with Singha... We will be back for a more detailed review. Thank you

The menu left me uninspired, all Asian influenced? Seafood was all overcooked, rubbery prawns. Just very basic food and overpriced for what it was. Lightning was too bright and the music was too loud. No one asked if we wanted more drinks etc. not sure if it’s changed hands but definitely not the mannings I remember.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I have come across, and I have used a lot on my travels. The batter on the sweet & sour king prawns was simply fantastic. Highly recommended. If I lived down here I’d be a regular. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Awful food sorry. While I hate to leave a poor review for a business as realise that's their work and how they make a living, I also begrudge paying good money for poor food. From my limited experience with curry takeaways in Cornwall (coming from South Wales), they just can't ever seem to get it right and I don't know what it is. It's either Cornwall and curry doesn't mix, or maybe I'm just going to the wrong places. Quite honestly the best things about the food was the boiled rice. Everything else was more or less inedible and ended up in the bin. Wouldn't return.
