Indignant vacationers slam stunning seaside city the place ‘one movie star owns eveything’

A stupendous little seaside city has one key flaw, vacationers say – and it is the very factor that pulls so lots of them within the first place.

Padstow in Cornwall has a variety of eating places and outlets owned by movie star chef Rick Stein, identified for his scrumptious seafood recipes.  

While the city is broadly praised for its unimaginable magnificence, capturing the essence of a basic British seaside city, many vacationers who had visited the world have begun to see Stein’s dominance and star energy as extra of a detriment than a bonus.

One customer wrote on TripAdvisor: “We found Padstow had descended into Padaluf. The harbour was heaving with drunk party goers and obnoxious teens.”

While one other added: “Those wanting to avoid going to Magaluf on May 1 should also avoid Padstow.”

But for a lot of, the difficulty was simply how outstanding Rick Stein was throughout the city. 

One customer mentioned: “What a shame, have visited before, but this is now so busy it has lost its charm for us. Others felt the same and have renamed it Padstein. Everything is expensive and the shops are too touristy.”

A reviewer claimed that “most of the town seems to be owned and run by one person” whereas one other mentioned: “Should be renamed The Town of Rick Stein with all his restaurants and shops.”

Mr Stein opened his Seafood Restaurant in 1975, and his enterprise has since expanded to embody 4 eating places, a bistro, a café, a seafood delicatessen, a pâtisserie store, a present store and a cookery college.

His presence within the city even led to him receiving terrorist threats in 2007 from Cornish nationalists in search of to purge Cornwall of the “imperialist” English flag – with Mr Stein’s companies high of their record.

Other vacationers visiting the city mentioned it was chock stuffed with vacationers – lots of whom got here accompanied by canine.

One wrote: “Battersea by the sea. More dogs than people. Restaurants, pubs, bars all full.” earlier than including: “Shame this beautiful port town has gone to the dogs, quite literally.”

While one other mentioned: “If you are prepared for Disney style queues for literally everything including just walking around the harbour then this is just the place for you.”

However, many felt that the city’s attraction to vacationers was not such a draw back.

One mentioned it was an “absolute gem” and “another jewel in the crown of Cornwall. Recommended.”

Another mentioned: “Pretty traditional harbour with colourful boats and an abundance of eating options and scenic walks with panoramic views of Rock and beyond.”
