Last year, restaurants went to great lengths to remain open for business in the face of Covid; across the country, tents and gazebos were erected on lawns, while patches of previously unused land were claimed for greenhouses and pods to house guests observing the rule of six.
One restaurant went even further – with no outdoor space to plunder, the owners of Prawn on the Lawn in Padstow decided to up sticks entirely and set up camp at Trerethern Farm, which overlooks the coastal town. Thus Prawn on the Farm was born, and in two weeks, Katie and Rick Toogood will open their 52-seater restaurant in a marquee once more. ‘Round two is going to be bigger, better and more delicious than before,’ they promise, and it’s an ambition shared by many other venues that will welcome back customers outside from Monday.
