How Prawn on the Lawn Is Celebrating Cornwall

"All three Padstow restaurants are a real expression of the area - the seafood is all caught locally, the meat is reared locally and the veg is grown locally - but they're different to both typical fish & chips seaside fare and to what the likes of Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth are doing just down the road. Rick and Katie have created buzzy spots (Prawn on the Lawn and Little Prawn particularly are very fun and vibey,"

"There are some similarities across the Prawn on the Lawn, Little Prawn and Barnaby's menus. You'll always find oysters, which could be raw and served with POTL hot sauce, or deep fried with mojo verde. There's often a scallop; we had them with Thai green curry, sobressada and fermented chilli butter. The seared tuna, dressed with soy and mirin, has become a bit of a signature, as have the impossibly crispy and moreish crushed spiced potatoes."

Rick and Katie Toogood launched Prawn on the Lawn in Highbury in 2013 as a fishmonger and small seafood bar, expanding to a larger site two years later. They opened a Padstow outpost in 2015, then added Little Prawn, a test kitchen and seafood bar, and Barnaby's, a pop-up-turned-permanent restaurant at Trevibban Mill Vineyard. All seafood, meat and vegetables are sourced locally. Menus combine South East Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences with the freshest seafood. Signature items include oysters, scallops with bold condiments, seared soy-mirin tuna and crispy crushed spiced potatoes.
