The Lanherne Pub in Newquay is located a bit off the beaten track - several hundred meters from the…read moretown's busy beaches. As such, it is mainly frequented by folk from the area, not tourists. It offers a good range of beers (for once, not all St. Austell's!), including several hand-pumped ales from Tintagel Brewery. It is a HUGE place with two different outside seating areas - a bigger one on the front and a very small on on the back (see photos). There's a pool table near the bar area. During my visit only a handful of people were there, but it was still early in the evening on a weekday. Bar staff were very friendly, and the place has a pleasant feel to it, although I can imagine it gets quite loud during busier times. Beer prices are rather civil and lower than average for Newquay. Great pubs in Newquay are few and far between, since most of them cater to visitors from England and abroad and are very touristy. This one is the opposite: A really good community pub.

The Yelp reviews were mediocre, but we were tired and ready to put our feet up. I am glad we did! The service was fast and friendly and the food was really, really good. My mother had the shepherd's pie and I had the chicken tikka. We got dessert- sticky toffee pudding- to go, and our waitress was nice enough to give us extra clotted cream on the side! Really a nice change of pace from the touristy side of Newquay. Felt like we were eating dinner with the locals.

The food is pub grub and tasty enough, the service is above average, and the prices are below average. Families are welcome although there's nowhere for little ones to play. Its off the back off a main road at the top of a housing estate so its relatively quiet and has a nice beer garden for summertime drinks. Overall, it offers a nice spot for an afternoon pint with the family.

The pub is on two levels just a little offset from each other, a few steps from one to the next, on the top are two pool tables and a few quiz machines. On the lower floor is the bar and an area towards the back where you can play a few rounds of darts. It's a pretty rough and ready bar, with the occasional offer on lagers but the locals are friendly enough and it's pretty quiet. Good place to go and knock out a few rounds.

The Fort Inn, a large, modern(ized) pub & restaurant between Towan and Fistral Beach, offers a…read morefamily-friendly atmosphere and great views of Newquay from its backside terrace. The layout of the pub clearly indicates an emphasis on food rather than booze, but upon my visit I found the menu rather disappointingly small and conventional. Because of the location and atmosphere it is busy with families and groups of (mostly) younger people. The "restaurant pitch" is further reinforced by the generous layout of the bars for drinks and food. The range of ales is, again, dominated by St. Austell Brewery, and they're kept nice and fresh. But the highlight of The Fort Inn is its spacious outside seating to the back, from which you get a splendid view of Towan Beach (and the Great Western Beach in the background). Unfortunately the furnishings could be more comfortable - it is a strain to sit at those big, raw tables the way they're constructed - you simply cannot stretch out your legs. I've seen these kinds of benches at other pubs, too - maybe it's their way of telling you not to linger. Atmosphere is friendly, clean, "open".

This is a pleasant little pub on the edge of the centre of St Ives. It has a main bar, which is…read morerather dominated by a pool table, as well as another indoor area (kind of like a conservatory) and a beer garden. The pub serves a couple of real ales and is one of the few places in St Ives that has Sky Sports, so it is useful if you want to catch the sport. They serve foodand have a lot of choice including a take away pizza option. I'm afraid I'm not sure how good the food is. I have only sampled the carvery on Sundays and I'm not a big fan of carveries (is that the plural? AnywayI was with my familysometimes you have to bite the bulletor in this case copious amounts of meat). I would expect it to be quite good though. I will come here sometimes in winter or if I am watching sport, but the pub is very child friendly. In a place like St Ives with lots of holidaymakers people often have to bring their children to the pub if they want to go out. This can mean a few too many kids to bear..especially if you enjoy a quiet pint like I do.

Popular with locals and holidaymakers alike. Owners are nice, but not overly friendly despite eating and drinking in there normally every day during our holidays in St ives. Can be very busy in there, especially in high season, but not as busy as other places in town. Bar staff will do their best to accomodate you even if all the tables are showing a reserved sign. Well worth asking. Staff have no problem with children. I would recommend it, and can't wait to go in a few weeks time.

It is situated in a little village called Trebellan, near Cubert, less than than 15 minutes from Newquay. You approach down a steep, high sided road which is typically Cornish and the pub is right before you and very welcoming. They have regular live entertainment and also have an annual Real Ale and Pie Festival which is is it's 9th year. It's definitely worth pulling off the beaten track and seeking it out for a refreshing treat.
