The town of Padstow will see its inaugural entry in the 2013 Michelin Guide as restaurant Paul Ainsworth at Number 6 has earned the town’s first ever Michelin star. The news came as a surprise to Mr Ainsworth as the Michelin website accidentally published details of the new restaurants included in the 2013 guide a week ahead of the official release. After being alerted to the news by comments on Twitter, Mr Ainsworth telephoned Michelin who confirmed that the Padstow restaurant had been awarded its first star.
He said: “I just couldn’t believe it, I didn’t
know whether to celebrate or what to do, and then Twitter went crazy, every tweet was about Michelin. So I called Michelin and they confirmed that we had been awarded a star which was an amazing feeling.” Mr Ainsworth’s restaurant brings Cornwall’s total of Michelin-starred establishments to three alongside the two-starred Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in nearby Rock, and the Driftwood at Portscatho, where last year chef Chris Eden became the first Cornishman to hold the honour.
Meanwhile, in Dorset, Sienna Restaurant is also celebrating yet another Michelin star,

INDUSTRY PROGRESS SIGNALS A STABLE FUTURE FOR SOUTH WEST DAIRY FARMERS
A code of practice, a ten point plan and a merger means dairy farmers here in the South West are looking forward to a more secure future following months of discussion. The landmark voluntary code of best practice covering the
relationship between milk producers and milk buyers is about to be finalised, following months of talks between processors and farmers’ representatives. The code is designed to ensure balance in contractual terms for all parties.

Most of the proposed milk price cuts which caused consternation in the industry earlier in the year have been reversed, while a merger between Arla and Milk Link, which has just been approved by the European Commission, has created the largest farmer-owned dairy company in the UK. This puts members of Milk Link, many of whom are from the South West where the business was based, into a position to benefit from the opportunities that we know increased demand for dairy products will bring.
