Barnaby's

Lovely setting in the hills just outside padstow. Restaurant itself is small and cosy, waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good, not amazing but certainly decent. I do feel portion sizes were on the small side for the price but that’s the way it is. Tried some of the local wines from onsite which were also nice but £11.50 for a small glass of red seems a lot (You can buy the actual bottle for £25 upstairs…). Overall 4/5 as it was nice but not top marks!

YOU MUST EAT HERE! Excellent service, lovely ambience, dog friendly. Near faultless food (I say near, I only had one dish that minorly underwhelmed me but really I’m being very particular here as a chef myself) Barbecue leeks, deep fried oysters, courgette labneh and the hake were my favourites. Crispy potatoes to die for. Dessert wine (from upstairs) was a highlight. (I went to buy some later it was that good). We ordered the right amount of dishes at our servers suggestion. I note the many comments about prices, portions and food not being to their tastes in some reviews. If you don’t have a curious palate or an interest in food I can understand why some of the dishes may not be to your tastes. As for price and portion, I disagree. The prices reflect and skill and experience required to create excellent food, and we left full and happy. Will happily return and recommend.

Really enjoyed our visit, the food was wonderful, the wine excellent, and the service made us feel very special. We will definitely return

Nice little restaurant with family vibes. The food is very nice, but none of the dishes really made our jaw drop. The place is very small and the service is nice, but the music fits more a beach club than a restaurant. The lemon sole and the oysters were probably the stars of the dinner, while the other dishes were just good, but nothing you’ve never tasted before.

Delicious and full of incredible flavour. Completely worth it, you can tell how passionate they are about the food when they serve it and tell you the best way to eat it etc. Stunning, mouthwatering and a must! We went for the scallops (they were like butter melting in your mouth) the popcorn mussels (very tasty coating) and some other various fish dishes. All with amazing flavour, locally sourced and great for sharing!

Top 3 dinners of my life. Flavours are exceptional. Local means fresh and these guys take it next level. The experience of dining is excellently balanced by the timing, temperature and portions of all dishes. Must have the scallops & the cauliflower!!!!!

We've never had the chance to visit Barnaby's before and without a doubt we'd be straight back. Menu perfectly explained, fantastic service. Sophie was wonderful at making sure we didn't order too much food, but also not enough. Thank you for making our evening enjoyable

A hidden gem! Beautifully decorated, with tasteful Nicnacs. The food is absolutely outstanding! All cooked fresh to order, tapas style. Recommend the stuffed courgette flowers, the chicken croquettes and honey beer, delicious! The staff are very knowledgeable about the food they serve and are so friendly. All the produce is local and you can see exactly where everything has come from up on the boards above the bar. Thank you, we loved eating here! The optional donation to the bee fund on the bill is a wonderful touch too!
