If you like to watch live sports then this is the place for you…read more There are loads of screens and there is always some event being shown. Loads of football games spread across the various screens. Plenty of seating too. There are tons of pool and snooker tables for you to practice if you have the urge. Decent priced drinks, with happy hours and special deals. Also decent burgers and hot dogs.

I had no idea this restaurant was here so I felt I needed to add it to Yelp and let others know…read morethis place exists. The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

Upstairs there is a bar, a darts board, toilets, a pool table and seating for you to sit and watch live sporting events on the big TVS that they have. Downstairs there is another bar which you can get cocktails from the pricing of the drinks are very reasonable. There is also more seating, toilets and a small dance floor. The music that is played there is up to date. It can get quite busy on weekend but having two bars is good as you don't normally have to queue for long. I find that overall the bar has a good friendly atmosphere
Bertie O'Flannigan's is an "Irish Pub" in central Newquay (in between bus stops Post Office and…read moreGreat Western Hotel, but closer to the former). It's a nice pub, with a friendly atmosphere and a comfy, discreet outer seating area to the front (a bit removed from the street) - only, it's not much of an IRISH pub. You can get Guinness - Duh! - but that's about it. When I asked for Kilkenny at the bar - it drew a blank. All the other beers here are English! That's very peculiar for a place that calls itself an "Irish Pub" - and in very big letters on the front! So, while the pub itself is plesant, quite stylish and very comfy with its darkened interior, lovers of Irish beer will be gravely disappointed. Some Irish spirits however are available. Staff were nice and polite.

What can I say? Pleasantly surprised! Reasonably priced varied menu and huge portions! I can't say I would enjoy it personally during a big footie match etc - I would imagine it gets quite noisy and boisterous but if I was into sports then this would be the place I'd go! Huge TV screens and a relaxed atmosphere. Quite a few pool tables and from the glimpse of the beer garden I did see, it looked quite nice.

I think the beers were £2.10 a pint; I'm now used to London prices, so this was a real pleasure. At times this has had a reputation as being a bit of a rough bar in its history, but I saw no sign of this when I was down. Good fun and handy enough to be opposite anothergood warmup pub; the Perkin. I think they also have live music nights

There is a choice of turkey, ham or beef. The main dining room is a bit 'old peoples homeish', but we took our food into the bar area and really enjoyed eating whilst watching the grand prix on the big screen! I have to admit i found the meat a bit dry and the veg overcooked- but that could be because we arrived quite late- lunch is served 12-3 and we got there at 2:30. Deserts were proper comfort food- i had apple crumble and custard and my partner had chocolate pudding with clotted cream. Both were stogy in a very satisfying way!

I walked…read morein and the boy behind the counter looked at me and said what Taken back I said child's sausage and chips please, he sighed and said £4.30. Ok this is peak season in a sea side town I can live with that for my princess. Bit when it came, he threw the fork toward me onto the counter so that it slid and just put my food down and walked off. Well I never! What a measly portion of chips and a cheap banger that the skin burst on while frying. The chips were greasy, that boy was rude and obnoxious and the price I paid for the whole poor experience, that as someone who lives in Devon and visits the area nearly every weekend, I shall be telling everyone on the campsite to avoid it like the plague!

It's run by the lovely Jane Dreyer and her very friendly staff who could not have been more helpful. To start, I ordered Prawn Tempura that arrived perfectly cooked and accompanied with a selection of bean sprouts giving it just the right amount of 'bite' and freshness whilst the prawns were in a light, crisp and delicious tempura batter. To follow was probably the best plate of roast beef I've ever tasked in a pub, with a Yorkshire pudding the size of a bowler hat, but tasting considerably better. Lovely crispy vegetables, perfect roast potatoes and to follow a truly delicious Crepe Suzette with a large blob of thick, Devon ice cream. Added to all this some lovely wines, delicious fresh coffee and the November drizzle outside was soon forgotten as the afternoon ebbed away in front of the cheerfully blazing log fire. All this for about £36 per head, including service and I reckon it's hard to beat! I'll certainly be back with some really London foodie-friends of mine.

It's now a lovely country pub with everything you'd expect - open fire, sports bar (pool table and darts board), a skittle alley and a cozy main bar area.

The village has regained a lovely, friendly pub :) For the record - I am not the owner or landlord!!

The waiter brought it over and dumped it in the table without offering us cutlery, sauces, condiments or even a smile. The burgers were fine and we sat for a good half an hour after eating looking over the beach finishing our drinks. Nobody came to clear our plates until we (and all the other unattended tables) were attacked by seagulls swooping down for the left overs. Pricey and unattentive. Give it a miss and eat in the town.

Their speciality is seafood- and the 'special of the day' (clams, mussels, crevettes, red mullet, hake, lemon sole all cooked very simply and served over delicious buttery marsh samphire, accompanied by a small portion of chips) was 25 pounds a person, for a minimum of 2 people. It was a real 'taste of the sea'- fresh and delicious- but quite expensive. Starters are reasonable at about 5 pounds a person- try the crab bisque which was a real highlight. The house wines are remarkably reasonable- a crisp french sav blanc was 10.50, and went down very nicely! A great holiday meal out- the views over the sea combined with fish cooked with a light touch make it the perfect summer venue for a bit of a treat.

As it was lunchtime we opted for the lunchtime special of fish (haddock or cod) and chips with a cup of tea or coffee - those who did mushy peas added them. Everything was excellent and freshly cooked, the fish was crisply battered and not at all soggy with oil, as it can often be. Mushy peas tasted as they should without the need to be seasoned. All in, four grown-ups and a very hungry toddler were well fed and watered for £20.
