  1. A dish called the Whoopsy Splunker tells you everything about the mood here. Paul Ainsworth's Italian brasserie in Padstow keeps things loose and lively, with pizzas and pastas doing the heavy lifting alongside the odd Cornish-Mediterranean crossover, like cod dropped into a pancetta and chorizo Tuscan bean stew. The glass-enclosed terrace fills with sunburned holidaymakers happy to be somewhere this relaxed.
