Paul Ainsworth at No 6

In a town boasting back-to-back Rick Stein restaurants, No 6 comes as a refreshing change. It boasts a sharp, urban look – chequerboard floor, contemporary art, simple tables – in the framework of a small Georgian terraced house. Paul Ainsworth took over sole ownership in December 2008 & while he may not boast the national reputation of Padstow’s most famous son, he has established himself as a class act in town. He is a chef with a pedigree (ex Petrus & The Greenhouse) & his ambition & energy oozes from every pore of this savvy restaurant. Inspiration is taken from local supplies & the seasons & you get the feeling there will always be something new & appealing to eat here. Look out for a new review coming soon.
