Prawn on the Lawn

For more than a decade, Prawn on the Lawn has served seafood-centred small plates to Padstow, its daily menus guided by the catch landed by Cornish fishermen each morning.

Founder and chef Rick Toogood and chef Izzy Joscelyne work with sustainable fish and shellfish, alongside hyper-fresh vegetables from the restaurant’s own raised beds, and produce grown by Ross Geach of Padstow Kitchen Garden.

Dishes include scallops with jerk butter; crab daal makhani and curry leaves; and salt and pepper ray wing with chilli sauce. Wines from nearby Trevibban Mill sit alongside beers from Bluntrock Brewery in Rock and complement the restaurant’s ever-changing seafood offering.

Fans of Prawn on the Lawn can also visit its sister sites. Little Prawn, just across the street, serves scallops, octopus, fresh lobster, Cornish som tam and seafood sharers, while Barnaby’s at nearby Trevibban Mill focuses on seasonal sharing plates with lots of meat and veggie options.
