FIFTEEN - Watergate Bay, Cornwall

Why go there: Super chef Jamie Oliver's Cornish outpost has garnered shed loads of awards. The restaurant's hip decor includes sculptural pendant lights and graffiti-style wall art. But it's the awesome view over Watergate Bay and the watch-while-you-dine surfing that make it so inviting.

What to eat: taglierini with Cornish crab, lemon, parsely and rock samphire; local cheeses with homemade bread and olives; potato gnocchi with Angus beef ragu and horseradish; chocolate and ricotta tart with poached pear.

Shame the restaurant isn't slightly better positioned, though.
