Rick Stein Confirms Marlborough Restaurant Will Close Sunday

The decision follows a staff consultation prompted by weaker returns following operating losses reported in 2024 accounts.

Overview

  • The High Street site will shut permanently on Sunday, October 5, 2025, after the group completed a consultation with the Marlborough team.
  • Rick Stein and his family issued a statement expressing sadness, thanking staff and customers, and confirming all affected guests with bookings have been contacted.
  • Gift cards issued for Marlborough remain valid at other Rick Stein restaurants or for online purchases.
  • Recent Companies House filings showed operating losses at Stein’s Trading Limited and The Seafood Restaurant Padstow Limited for 2024.
  • The Marlborough restaurant opened in 2016 in Grade II listed Lloran House, was previously kept open by a 2020 rent reduction, and its closure follows the recent shutdown of a small Padstow café as the group continues to operate around a dozen venues, many in Cornwall.
