Where Stories Begin

Tucked into the side streets of Padstow, the Georgian townhouse that hosts No.6 has been welcoming guests since February 2009. What began as one chef's dream has become the beating heart of The Ainsworth Collection.

Paul Ainsworth’s move from Michelin-starred kitchens in London to a small Cornish fishing town may have surprised some, but seventeen years on, it is clear this is where he belongs. His vision is simple: showcase the best local ingredients and create memorable dining experiences. Over time, Padstow has become the culinary heart of Cornwall, and Paul’s passion has helped shape the town’s unique food scene.
