PL28 Cafe
Born from a love of place and produce, PL28 Café is the latest venture from chef Thomas Hine — a homecoming project bringing world-class cooking back to his roots on the North Cornish coast. By day, we're a relaxed neighbourhood café serving breakfast, brunch and the finest Cornish coffee. By night, we transform into an intimate chef's table supper club, where Thomas crafts seasonal menus celebrating the very best ingredients from across the South West. A true family affair, PL28 Café is run with passion, precision and a deep connection to Padstow and its community. Thomas brings with him a wealth of experience from some of the UK's most celebrated kitchens — including Gidleigh Park, the Bath Priory and Lympstone Manor — and is joined by his cousin Will front of house and his brother Fred in the kitchen. We'd love to have you join us. Reserve your table below.
Craftworks Padstow
Hidden in the old orchard at Padstow Holiday Village, Craftworks Kitchen is where afternoons slide effortlessly into unforgettable evenings. Nordic tipis. Shipping containers. Big flavour. Zero fuss. It’s alfresco dining with edge — relaxed, social, and unapologetically cool. As the sun dips, the orchard shifts gear. Light filters through the trees, fairy lights flicker on, and everything settles into that golden-hour calm. It’s tucked away but buzzing — intimate yet open. The kind of place you arrive for “just a couple” and end up closing down. Conversations flow, music hums at the right level, and the whole space feels warm, easy, and alive. The food? Properly stacked burgers, banging burritos, and amazing tacos loaded with flavour. Plates built for sharing, getting messy, and going back in for more. The drinks? Really good beers — crisp lagers, local pours, and cool craft options — alongside great wines worth lingering over. Cocktails are bold and balanced. Craftworks milkshakes are thick, indulgent, and unapologetically nostalgic. And then dessert lands. Mama’s chocolate brownie — rich, warm, and genuinely to die for. Sticky toffee pudding — soft, indulgent, and honestly unbelievable. The kind of puddings that silence the table for a minute… then spark the “we’re getting another one” conversation. Rustic meets industrial. Garden meets street food. Tipis glowing, containers humming, orchard energy all around. Whether you’re staying on site or wandering in from Padstow, Craftworks Kitchen is about great food, great drinks, and seriously good evenings. That’s us ……… Big Love Team Craftworks
