Episode 3 | Just Add Beer
A name that rolls off the tongue as one of the most famous chefs in Cornwall, Paul is the talent behind two of Padstow’s most applauded eateries – Paul Ainsworth at No.6 and Caffè Rojano.
Southampton born, he made his way to Cornwall via the kitchens of Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing. In 2011 he trumped some of the nation’s top chefs when he made it to the final of BBC2’s Great British Menu, and he was awarded his first Michelin star by 2012. Recognised for his unique style of cooking, Paul’s dishes showcase the best Cornish produce sourced from local farmers, fishermen and artisan suppliers.
