Paul Ainsworth at No.6
6 Middle Street, Padstow, PL28 8AP
At the end of 2008 Paul Ainsworth took over with the step from head chef to owner; while the restaurant still has all the style and class it is associated with, this is on a more relaxed level. Paul's aim is to offer a great quality dining experience and good value for money, and the fact that he's not just a name over the door he's there cooking in the kitchen and bringing the food out into the restaurant does him more than a few favours. Dinner kicks off with No.6 cocktail of fresh English rhubarb topped with champagne, and then moves on to the starters, where you're faced with choosing between some childhood favourites but with a legendry twist, such as salmon Scotch eggs or mussels in a vegetable broth with pearl barley.At the end of 2008 Paul Ainsworth took over with the step from head chef to owner; while the restaurant still has all the style and class it is associated with, this is on a more relaxed level.

For main courses choose between a Launceston heel of beef in a suet pudding and line caught Cornish black bream that come off the boat fresh every morning.
For desserts Paul has come up a stroke of genius called 'Taste of No.6', a sample of every dessert on offer.

REVIEWS OF Paul Ainsworth at No.6
Tony Dodd (2 September 2011)
Three of us called on the off-chance and we were lucky enough to get a table the same evening. Between us we had two starters, three mains and two sweets. Two of us chose the Jimmy Butler crispy pig's head starter - what a joy! Loads of flavours and textures to delight the palette. For mains, one had Veal Sirloin on the bone and two had the Braised Ox Cheek & Rump. The veal was beautifully tender and served meticulously with fine onions and a baby pan of rich mash. My wife loved it. Our Ox Cheeks were succulent and tender yet fresh flavoured. They were served on a vegetable and noodle bed with a delicately spiced and herbed liquor. it was superb with The Red Mullet Australian wine! Perhaps the starters and mains set our expectations too high as we felt that they were not to the same level. Throughout, the service was excellent, attentive whilst not intrusive and our waiting staff were happy to converse. Would we go again - most definitely!

After eating at No 6 this last weekend, I have to say we were completely blown away by the amazing food. Being real fine dining fans, we were so not expecting such an amazing experience. Service and staff was second to none. We each selected a different starter and main course and each loved the other dishes we tried too. No doubt this is serious competition for Rick Steins. In fact we decided we would prefer to go back to No 6 and I can't wait to try.
