FOR BEER AND HARBOUR VIEWS
You’ll find vineyards, distilleries and breweries, as well as places to eat, around the sheltered bay. Daily catches supply eateries, including Prawn on the Lawn ( prawnonthelawn.com). Try a plate piled high with Porthilly mussels and clams or a whole red mullet. Visit the cosy Harbour Inn (harbourinn padstow.co.uk) for a glass of delicate Camel Valley Pilsner, the brainchild of two Cornish drinks giants: Camel Valley wines and Sharp’s Brewery. Or, Seven Souls ale is a perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Indulge in dry-aged rib-eye and roasted pumpkin with plump burrata and romesco sauce at Nathan Outlaw’s The Mariners, and end with Crackler cheddar alongside fruitcake infused with Doom Bar – an almost porty beer (nathan-outlaw. com). Stay at The St Moritz Hotel near Rock and Padstow. Twin rooms £160 a night per person. stmoritzhotel.co.uk Georgina Kiely
