The Fish House
Paul Harwood’s restaurant in Newquay can be found on Fistral beach, just a stone’s throw from the water. It’s the sea that inspires the menus here, as the name suggests, and Paul and the team use only the best seasonal ingredients to create rustic dishes with authentic flavours. For foodies, a trip to Cornwall would not be complete without seafood, and you’ll find the menu at The Fish House tough to beat.
Two Clomes Pub
“Best pub grub in Newquay.” This is just one online review of the Two Clomes foodie offering! Expect pub classics with a Cornish twist, with generous portions and a welcoming host – just the ticket after working up a sea-air appetite.
Harbour Fish & Grill
Built into the cliff directly overlooking the harbour, complete with a restaurant, conservatory and terrace, humans and hounds alike are welcome at this foodie haven.
