I have eaten there, and it's really a great experience. It's well worth the money, especially if you do the wine taster with every course. Don't drive home

Thanks for the feedback

We were thinking of doing that and hiring a cottage across the road from the restaurant so no need for driving

Change of plan.

We've booked to go to Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant now instead, and booked one of his cottages.

Has anyone been to his restaurant? Not the Bistro, the 'Full Fat' Seafood Restaurant? 06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods, Black Badge Soon...

went there two years ago - the food was very nice and service was excellent, however we've had just as good elsewhere and it is way overpriced. Wifey says go for the seafood platter as its the best value and lets to try everything.

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

With or without wine/drinks Kaine? I paid getting on for that per head for lunch for 7 in the Captains' Room (a private restaurant for Names and the occassional Captain who has saved for ages for the day!) in the Lloyd's Building 10 years ago and that included the wine. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

No no £700 total for 7 for lunch - I'm not that stupid with my money as to pay £500 a head each for lunch! They are not that GOOD a set of friends! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

A friend of mine tried to book a table at Rick Stein's Sea Food Restaraunt a couple of years ago, whilst we were on a summer holiday in Padstow. He phoned on the first day of our holiday (early July) and asked for a table for four.

The receptionist asked "What date in November do you have in mind sir?" Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

I have not eaten at the Fat Duck but have had several recomendations. I tried to book a table for 8 recently but was told they were fully booked, I believe though its a rule that a Michelan restaurant can only seat a table for amax of 6 heads.
Just returned from Dartmouth where I had Dinner at the New Wngel a 1 Michelain star restaurant run by John Burton Race, had a great meal at a reasonable price. TDV6 HSE 2.7 07MY Java Black, Ivory Leather Ebony Dash, Privacy Glass, 20" 10 spoke alloys, Sunroof, Carstylingstudio Java/Chrome Grill set, Exhaust Tips by mjlperformance, Side Steps, Clear side repeaters, Mud flaps and Land Rover dust caps.

Given we spend most Easters down in Cornwall, we've eaten there several times (and at his other places too). Great food, the service is very down to earth and friendly and if you want to stay there, the rooms upstairs are fantastic. I've also done a couple of the cookery courses at the Seafood School too - all excellent stuff!

I wouldn't have said it's any more expensive than any other restaurant with a reputation - I'm always happy to pay for a decent meal though
