Fish fans in Newquay will soon have even more to tempt their tastebuds as Rick Stein announces a plan to opena new restaurant in Newquay.

The move will create jobs in the town with career opportunities available for kitchen and front of house positions.

Rick said: “It’s exciting to be opening a restaurant on Fistral, even my Aussie friends in Sydney know it; some were lifeguards there in the 70s. I imagine the restaurant buzzing with people enjoying a great beach and the sort of food you have to have by the water.

"We’re now starting work on the interiors, with eldest son Edward working with Jill on the design, Jill comments “I’ve always wanted to have a restaurant in Newquay and particularly Fistral. I am very excited to be opening up on the best surfing beach in Cornwall.”

Eve Wooldridge, Newquay BID manager says “We are very pleased at the BID to be welcoming Rick Stein to Newquay, we feel this is a great new arrival for the town and indicates a positive image change over the last four years. Newquay’s culinary offering is now most definitely one that’s hard to beat.”
