Just had a week in Cornwall and had lunch at The Basement in Padstow, had we had stayed in Padstow we would have eaten their more often. The food was outstanding both in quality and taste. Thanks for a pleasant lunch. Sylvia and Geoff Firth

On a fresh evening in early May we dined outside (this is one of the few fine restaurants that allows dogs even if it is outside) and enjoyed a delicious meal with excellent wine and attentive service, despite being the only diners outside.
