Good Bye March - Bad News and Good News

Where did March Go!

Ok the Bad News first!

Sadly we have had several occasions over the last few months where guests have booked into the restaurant and have failed to turn up and not even had the courtesy to call to cancel their booking. We are sure you will agree that this causes us great concern with the extra costs involved with staffing and food purchasing.

Therefore from April 1st 2008, all phone bookings will be requested to make available their credit/debit card details. Assuming that if a cancellation is necessary, it is made before Midday(12Noon) on the day of the booking there will be no penalty. Failure to do so or not to turn up or if you are late for your table by 20+ minutes we reserve the right to re-let your table and impose a penalty of £10 per person placed against your card.

We are sorry to have to resort to these measures but in order to keep our prices at a reasonable level we must cover these eventualities. And as a small restuarant we cannot afford to turn away later day bookings only to be let down by those that have pre-booked but feel they cannot be bothered to call to cancel or even turn up.

Now the good news!

Lobster and Crab are now available on the menu on the basis that you order before 10:00am daily. Please call reception to [place your order.

Support The Padstow Lifeboat! By Dining in The Estuary Restaurant from Saturday 10th April for one week, and we will donate 10% of your total Meal Bill to the RNLI at no extra cost to you.
How good is that?

We will be open for lunches on MAY DAY from 12:00noon until 3:00pm (No need to book) and Then for pre-booked dinners only in the evening from 6.45 - 8:30pm.

We have replaced a couple of our less popular Red wines mainly the Langeudoc and Medoc. The new wines on offer will inclue a New Organic Red and a Barbera.

And finally from May 1st we are hoping to open 7 nights a week until October. Details to follow on this soon.
