The Stein family name has been synonymous with Padstow since 1975 and its flagship eatery, the Seafood Restaurant is a true celebration of the sea with fresh fish landed daily, literally yards from its’ entrance.

Run by Rick Steins’ sons, Jack and Charlie they both embody the Cornish way of life with a love and appreciation for their natural surroundings. From surfing in the Atlantic to celebrating the finest produce the county has to offer. Wild cooking

Last month Arkonik were honoured to let the guys borrow their flagship Land Rover 110, UJO for a wild cooking mini adventure in their own backyard. Padstow is a vibrant harbour that sits at the mouth of the Camel estuary. The quaint Cornish port has long since been a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. Drawn to its picturesque quayside and characterful side streets. It’s full of award-winning restaurants, local produce and colourful independent stores.

Supported by classic Cornish generosity from the guys at Camel Ski and Porthilly Shellfish in Rock and Love Island star Lucie Donlan. Lucie is a local herself, residing in Newquay just 30 minutes West of Padstow and is a free surfer, sponsored by O’Neil.

UJO – Land Rover 110

‘UJO’ belongs to Andy Hayes, Founder of Arkonik and is the original vehicle that was the inspiration to start the business. The vehicle is named “UJO” after the last three letters in the registration plate. After carefully building their brand and product over the past fifteen years, UJO showcases their foray into the resto-mod industry. Whereby they add additional spice to their authentic builds; such as LS3 engines and 6 speed automatic transmission. Culminating in the ultimate tribute to this automotive icon. UJO is a demonstrator vehicle and a testbed for further R&D.
