Rick Stein rolls back pricing to 1975 to celebrate 50 years
2025 marks a momentous milestone for Rick Stein Restaurants. It has been 50 years since Rick and Jill Stein opened their first restaurant, The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall.
To celebrate the golden anniversary, Stein’s are rolling back prices at selected restaurants for four days in February, offering classic seafood dishes at 1975 prices.
Samples dishes on the Rolled Back & Retro Menu include shellfish soup for 50p; grilled lobster for £2.80; seafood thermidor for £2.20; Cornish Bouillabaisse for £2.60; plus desserts including treacle tart for 35p and apple pancakes with Calvados sauce for 40p.
Rick Stein CBE, Founder & Co-Owner of Rick Stein Group, comments:
“Reflecting on the past 50 years, we’re so grateful to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey — from our loyal customers, talented team, and wonderful suppliers,” says Stein. “We look forward to all the celebrations this year!”
“Little did Rick and I imagine when we opened our doors in 1975 that we would still be here 50 years later, celebrating half a century of the iconic Seafood Restaurant,” Jill Stein adds. “We hope to welcome you to join us in celebrating our Golden Year.”
Rick and Jill Stein opened The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow in 1975. The family have since expanded the business to include 10 restaurants, a pub, a cookery school, 40 guest rooms, self-catering properties and four shops.
