In May 2015 Katie and Rick decided to move to Cornwall to set up a second restaurant, Prawn On the Lawn Padstow leaving POTL Islington in the capable hands of their dedicated team. Opened in July 2015, it follows a similar format to the restaurant in Islington being a fully licensed fishmonger and restaurant. Still a small operation with only 24 covers, the menu changes every day and aims to be as sustainable as possible, working with local suppliers in Padstow and the surrounding areas. In 2017 POTL Padstow was named of of the Times Top 100 restaurants in the UK and also featured in the Michelin Guide. In 2019 it was also names Best Seafood Restaurant by the Caterer. Rick and Katie now work between their 2 restaurants in order to maintain their family owned feel.

Starting with the wonderful setting, my husband described it as a 'festival feel' being outside in the marquee looking out to a wonderful view. Only criticism from him was the 'chill out music' being slightly painful (but he's a music buff and not young)! Food couldn't be faulted, fresh. local dishes cooked to perfection and flavoured wonderfully. Wonderful experience.
Amazing food and great cocktails! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Amazing food in a really well put together experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through, just book ahead. Service could have been a bit more attentive even though it was supposed to be relaxed.
Always a must when visiting Padstow!
Most enjoyable lunch, stunning setting on the farm and our waitress was great!
Excellent evening. Great food and lovely setting.
The food was absolutely amazing, great quality, fresh and so yummy. Service was shocking. The girl who served us had a great vibe and lovely however she wasn’t consistent with her service, mistakes made, wrong food bought to our tables, wrong drinks bought to our tables, food missing, multiple items put on bill that we didn’t have. Another girl who brought our food to us said it was the prawns when it was oysters. Manager cleared our table and then I told her we were waiting for more dishes, then the manager never returned with fresh plates and cutlery to which we then had to ask for cutlery when our other dishes arrived. Girl at the pass serving food to tables was unprofessional ( flirting with chef and just general attitude wasn’t great) she was also breathing and talking all over the food on the pass. Due to current covid situation this is shocking and not protecting others within the restaurant. General atmosphere was bad due to service just being so inconsistent, different waitresses kept coming to the table and asking the same questions to us or not knowing what we’d ordered, it just seemed so disorganised and really felt disappointed as the food was amazing however service ruined the whole experience especially when we ended up paying £230 for a bill which is happily paid for the food but not the whole experience ( service) What a shame and I hope you can change the service as I hope others don’t experience what we did plus not get ill due to hygiene practices not being followed within ie people breathing and talking all over the food right in front for all to see.
Imaginative and perfectly cooked food in a wonderful setting. Friendly and helpful service. Better than many restaurants nearby that would charge around double the price.
Excellent food. Fab location. Wonderful staff. First class. Loved it!
This is our favourite place to eat in the world. Great food. Great atmosphere. The field set up is fantastic.
Loved the location and the feel of the 'tent' - great fun. Service was a little slow (could have done with a couple more team members) and the food was excellent. Would definitely go again.
Quality of the food was great as was the service, though better advice on the sizes for children would have been appreciated - ordering two of the tempura fish for £9 each for children proved to be excessive. Also I appreciate this is a temporary location but at least having non dairy milk for teas and coffees can’t take up too much room! Not everyone enjoys dairy or wants to have their drinks black.
As usual a fabulous evening we love your new venue fabulous location The food is the best ver ever eaten it’s a great team working with you supper service standards food to dye for we love everything about food response sourced and amazing presentation see you very very soon
A very nice setting and some very well executed food, but very lax on social distancing both as between staff and customers and between customers at the bar/entrance area, and we had a slug in our gem lettuce salad - this can happen but it was barely acknowledged..plus we were initially given the (much larger) bill for another table which we had to challenge. Overall the offering doesn't quite match the prices.
We had the best time thank you so much. Our third visit in 2 weeks. That says it all! Sarah & David
Absolutely wonderful
Perfect Down on the farm, just as good as in the town usually. I would book again but sadly our holiday has ended today and we are now back home in Manchester and on lockdown. Delicious fish, fabulous service and an overall great experience
10£ for two tiny langostines are a bit overpriced but the rest of the meal was top notch and would recommend to anyone!!
Great food, such a fun atmosphere. Would highly recommend to others.
Loved the new location at the farm! Food was excellent and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes! Would definitely book again!
We had the best time at Prawn on the Lawn. It was a wonderful experience dining out at the farm. Great food, lovely setting with a great view, great service. Definitely recommend.
Fabulous new temporary location with a festival vibe. Great - tunes, views, service (thanks Jonny and team), set up, atmosphere and amazing food. Our second time at POTL. Look forward to the third in 2021
Just brilliant! Loved the new setting ... perfect for Padstow ! Super views , amazing food and wonderful service.
Food, service, location utterly fabulous.
Prawn in the field (innovation due to Covid19 social distancing) - what an amazing meal for our family of 5. The subtle delicious flavouring really enhance the fish and shellfish taste. We got abot three plates and the monkfish 1.4kg with Thai sauce and the fruits de mer with lobster. Amazing.
