“In the early days there were a few very well-known restaurants.” “What’s happened over the years is that people have become much more knowledgeable about food and cooking and therefore much more demanding about how their food is cooked,” he said. Stein says that attitude extended to his customer’s less sophisticated demands of what was put in front of them – in the days before the culinary renaissance in British restaurant standards got underway during the mid-Nineties, with the rise of celebrity chefs and artisan and craft food producers. “Hey ho, it worked! This was in the 70s, things were a bit looser in those days, as was the cooking, I have to say.” “It seems the most anti-social thing to do now,” he said.

No glossy magazine adverts, prime-time TV slots or endorsements from social media “influencers” in those days. Stein, 76, who now has 10 restaurants in his stable, recalls that in 1975 the PR campaign he mounted to drum up interest in the new venture was a rudimentary affair by today’s standards. In the years that followed he opened four restaurants, along with a bistro, a cafe, a delicatessen, a patisserie shop – earning the Cornish town the sobriquet “Padstein”. Stein used the experience he had gained as a commis chef at the Great Western Royal Hotel in Paddington, London, where he worked after leaving school, to make the Seafood Restaurant a go-to destination for seafood lovers. “In fact what happened was the best thing that could have happened to us, being closed down.” “We were so young and not equipped to run a nightclub with a late licence,” he told Apple’s White Wine Question Time Podcast. Stein opened the Seafood Restaurant as a small bistro near Padstow’s harbour with his first wife Jill, after a nightclub he ran with a friend lost its licence and was closed down by police due to repeated brawls involving local fishermen.

There were no health and safety regulations and you didn’t really need much in terms of decor,” Stein said. “In the early days opening a restaurant was fairly easy to do.

Neither would he be able to carry out his own plumbing and gas fitting, because stringent health and safety laws require professional technicians to do the job. The restaurateur and food writer says he would not get away with simply slapping a few dabs of paint on the wall and stringing up some loosely themed decor, as he did when he opened his first venture in 1975 – the now famous Seafood Restaurant in Padstow. Wait staff is excellent too.Opening a restaurant is more difficult now than it was in the 1970s because diners have come to expect higher standards of interior design and decor, Rick Stein has said.
