Our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ chat with Jack Stein on St. Ives Beach during the food festival.

As Chef Director of Rick Stein Restaurants, Jack oversees all kitchen operations across the celebrated family empire that's marking its 50th anniversary this year. Having started as a 14-year-old kitchen porter in 1994, Jack brings a lifetime of experience and deep Cornwall connections to our conversation.

Jack shares his favourite eating and drinking spots, his producer recommendations spotlighting family businesses with deep Cornwall roots and concludes with an unexpected insider tip about Cornwall's emerging bluefin tuna catch-and-release experiences.

With characteristic Stein enthusiasm, Jack provides a perfect blend of established favourites and emerging discoveries across Cornwall's vibrant food landscape.

Our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ chat with Kattie Rosser, a Marazion-based wine expert who works with Enotria and Coe, importing exceptional wines from around the world. As someone with a professional palate and deep appreciation for Cornwall’s food and drink scene, Kattie offers invaluable insights into where locals truly love to dine and unwind.

Her restaurant recommendations blend quality with a refreshingly informal approach, and for drinks, she gravitates toward authentic experiences and live music or unbeatable sea views, where a glass of bubbly comes with panoramic vistas of St. Michael’s Mount.

🪨 Kattie reveals one of Cornwall’s most magical yet overlooked experiences. This glimpse into Cornwall’s more spiritual side offers a perfect counterpoint to the region’s celebrated culinary landscape.

Our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Secret List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ chat with this entertaining culinary duo during the St. Ives Food Festival. Rose Cant (better known online as “Mum on Muddy Lane”) brings her relatable, home-cooking style to food festivals, focusing on dishes anyone can recreate at home. Alongside her, Eddy Rains heads the kitchen at the Halfway House gastropub between Weybridge and Padstow, where he’s become known for exceptional steak despite Cornwall’s seafood reputation.

Our beachside conversation reveals their favourite spots around Padstow and Rock. Both share their go-to drinking establishments – Rose’s beloved “cupboard of dreams” wine bar (home to the memorably-named “Fizzy Bum Bum”), and Eddy’s preference for the authentic Cornish atmosphere of The Harbour Inn.

❤️‍🩹 Beyond food, they offer insider tips that should be “on the NHS for mental health”.
