Bush Pepper in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

When holidaying in Cornwall the bush pepper should be a top tier priority your list. There are many things to enjoy on the menu but in my opinion you must always try something new. For example their kangaro was such a unusual but delicious dish. It doesn't have that gamey beefy iron taste to it, so you really can season it however you like. The menu said it was Cajun but I felt it lacked that spicy element. The port and red wine reduction was lovely. And the sweet potato wedges really complimented the kangaroo. My wings were fall apart melt in your mouth. However, it said it was BBQ flavour I think it needed a bit more of a smokey depth to it. The sauce felt a little confused. But still delicious. The people who served us were a delight Jasmine and Sian. Two sweet & Stella servers who make all the correct check backs at the appointed time. They had great banter. They really did look after us. Check backs really mean alot to me as a customer and you can always tell if they are genuine. The portion sizes as you can see are spot on. Just an all round amazing time. The owner must be proud.

The food and service was great- such a cosy, warm and friendly atmosphere as well. I had the mushroom linguine and my partner had the kangeroo- they were both so good. You also get a complimentary shot of the owners homemade baileys which was so tasty that we bought a big bottle of it to take home with us😍 Definitely recommend!

Outstanding meal the flavours were absolutely stunning. We ordered the Rib eye & kangaroo. The service was extremely attentive and the homemade baileys simply finished the meal off. We’ll be back next time we visit Newquay Jane & Bobby

My husband and I out for our anniversary meal. We had a very enjoyable evening with wonderful food and great service. Thank to Sam and jasmine for making us welcome and Paul the owner very nice Special Bailey. Hope to be back soon.

Best Surf & Turf I have had in ages. Kangaroo steak was very tasty. Temperatures were on point. We got scallops for appetizers and were so tasty. Everything was really tasty and looked appealing. Staff were very friendly and dessert was the best. Would definitely go there again!

Food was amazing! Staff were friendly and helpful (shout out to Jasmine for being a great waitress) would definitely recommend to anybody who visits newquay!

Super Service, nice people, good fiod, large food portions. Very good music. We wiuld come ahain, if we visit Newquay again

This was our first time visiting Bush Pepper. The service from Jasmine, Sian and Paul was first class, the passion for the restaurant and the food was obvious. From the starter to the pudding where all cooked and presented beautifully and most importantly tasted fantastic. You have to try the homemade Baileys…wow. Best meal we have had in Newquay.

Fantastic meal showcasing different flavour twists that were very enjoyable. In Newquay really stands out from the run of the mill. The owner and waitress Jasmin could not have been more friendly and attentive. As a foodie would recommend.

Food was beautifully presented. Bread starter was delicious, the bread wonderfully fresh. Starters that followed were so tasty - lobster bisque ridiculously rich and calamari just delicious- fresh, vibrant and how it should be. Mains of surf and turf Kangaroo steak and the Seabass were incredible - the Kangaroo serving was huge, almost overwhelming but beautifully cooked, tender and moist very tasty, with the accompanying surf elemnts being delicious. And the seabass was beautifully cooked, couscous gorgeous and so delicious. Too full for desserts! An incredible meal, well worth a visit if in Newquay. Best food so far 😋

Amazing service and amazing food. Such a great atmosphere and their attention to the customer is excellent. Food really is so good. They gave us a great evening with all the family

We had dinner and Jasmine was truely attentive and welcoming. Food was beautifully cooked and very tasty, large portions. Would recommend any one staying in Newquay should visit this restaurant

Fantastic food service was quick and very friendly staff the owner was very helpful in letting you know what was on the menu

Great night out superb food supplied by a very pleasant and efficient staff highly recommended, wish I could take it home to Leicester

Great food, pleasant and and efficient staff, great night out, very enjoyable. I would like to pack it up and take back to Leicester

Enjoyed our time there very much. We went without a booking but we were able to get a table, though the wait for the food was quite long but the staffs made sure we were aware of it that the dishes are made fresh and were very attentive. The service was excellent especially Jasmine who was so lovely to our table. Would recommend if you’re in Newquay and looking for delicious dishes that won’t disappoint.

Perfect spot for a really lovely meal in Newquay. Everything we ate was delicious but the mussels were maybe the best I’ve ever had!! Caught that day in the bay. Our server Jasmin was so lovely and made it a fab experience 😊

Quite simply the atmosphere was lovely, the staff were brilliant (particularly Maisie who served us) and the food was exceptional. I got a sweet birthday balloon and birthday sign for the occasion and the staff were really good about my allergies!

Beautiful little restaurant in Newquay! Great food and amazing service, big thanks to Sam our waiter who really went above and beyond

What a shame! I put something down on trip advisor explaining the bad service and they full on lie about what actually happened. This is super unprofessional and the responses they give people on anything less than what they want is terrible. There was a huge argument beside us with a waitress and a family. The husband was getting super worked up and the wife trying to pitch in her thoughts on whatever was going down. Another waitress approached to resolve the situation. The fact that you say this did not happen is disturbing. Grow up and be more professional.

My boyfriend and I were super excited to try this restaurant so we made a booking. We got there late and the one thing we were excited to try was sold out which was the kangaroo fillet. Not the end of the world but still for a restaurant solely based as an Australian restaurant most people would come for that. Then the waitress was having a huge argument with a family beside us that we were forgotten about for a bit. No apologies were made about the argument we had to listen to. When we got our meal my boyfriend spilt his gravy but was not told it was extremely hot before he picked it up which it shouldn’t be since that is what you should be picking up to pour over your food. The lady did not offer another one for us. She then after was so rude when she asked us how the meal was. We just said there was way too much flavour in the chicken dish but the chicken itself was great. She then made a rude remark back. The gentlemen there tonight was lovely and wish we had him the whole night. Not pleased with the overall service and options for food.

Beautiful little restaurant in Newquay! Great food and amazing service, big thanks to Sam our waiter who really went above and beyond

Amazing food as always. Sam our server was absolutely excellent, couldn’t do enough for us!! As we’re locals, we’ll definitely be back (again), especially for that homemade Baileys for Christmas!!!! 10/10

It is such a lovely atmosphere with lovely staff. Our waitress (jasmine I think ) was so lovely and the food was excellent

Really enjoyed the food and the service was good but a bit slow. There was a big group in before us and I think the chef was a little stretched. Despite that the quality of the food made it a highlight of Newquay

Great service and food will definitely be going back

We had a very disappointing night at the after waiting two hours for our mains on August 29th. Our table were booked for 7:45. We were seated and had our order taken. After 15 minutes we had our starters that were fine. Nothing amazing about it. We were then ready for the mains that were taken a long time with no explanation other than “everything is fresh cooking from scratch”. Only that this took more than one hour twenty. When finally arrived the ribeye were bland and its texture were more like a sirloin. Tge seafood pasta had too much of an liquid sauce other than thick and creamy. A sad end for a three days waiting for a table to be available for this very popular restaurant. This was the most expensive meal we had in Newquay and far from the best. Not impressed at all.

The food was amazing and the staff even better shout out to sam our waiter for the evening top bloke made sure our evening was amazing

Fantastic little restaurant in Newquay, we have visited a few times and always a friendly welcome, the owner is always around serving the food and checking everyone is happy. There were seven of us and the food was excellent. The seafood linguini was the best...

I went to Bush Pepper with my husband whilst on holiday in Newquay. We hadn't booked, but were there about 9pm and they made an effort to fit us in. I'm so glad they did as this was some of the best food I've ever...

Been in Newquay for a week on holiday and we have been out for a meal every evening. Bush Pepper was by far the best meal we have had! Freshly cooked gorgeous food with fabulous service. A wonderful evening.

My boyfriend and I came to Bush Pepper for dinner and drinks whilst on a mini break in Newquay and were extremely pleased. Delicious Cornish seafood, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff especially Sam who was particularly attentive (and the owner makes his own Baileys which was amazing!) If you come to Newquay, you have to come to Bush Pepper.

Bush Pepper never fails to please, this is my second time there. I didn’t have a table booked however they still managed to sit me. Despite it being very busy the service was still very good and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating.

Disappointed with one of the dishes and the staff clearly lied about why they didnt serve what was on the menu and no discount was offered. They served spaghetti instead of linguine and the first waiter said its what they always serve, the next one said they ordered some but hasnt come yet. My partner really dislikes spaghetti but I convinced him to get the dish because linguine was different and thicker... except we were served spaghetti and no one told us they had no linguine left... the other dish of modules mariniere was good! Ok atmosphere, one other staff was great.

Food was wonderful, we ate loads of seafood which was fresh and cooked well. Service was especially impressive- Sam was very friendly, patient, and had the best recommendations for us!

By far the best dining experience on our recent family holiday to Newquay. The food was absolutely delicious - the mussels and the sea bass with cous cous being particularly flavourful. We were a large family party with 4 young children and were all made...

An incredible evening. The food was interesting and absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was 10/10. Will definitely return to Newquay just to eat here.

Outstanding food and service! As a Party of 4 we enjoyed every single dish! The food was superb and we cannot wait to eat there again :) The warmth and level of service at Bush Pepper is also next level. Highly recommended!!!

The food is absolutely amazing and the young man who served us was really friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend this restaurant. We were a family of 7 which included 3 children, however online we could only book for six, this was a slight problem...

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Bush Pepper last night. Every dish was fresh and packed full of flavour. We had the steak and the katsu hake which were both delicious. There was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and we were incredibly well looked after...

I love my food and the kangaroo fillet was hands down the best meal I've ever eaten. Paired with a lovely atmosphere and brilliant service from our waiter Sam it made for a splendid evening and one to remember. Would most definitely recommend do not miss the chance to try this place!!

I had the pleasure of dining at Bush Pepper restaurant in Newquay and it was truly a lovely experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and although they were fully booked and we had no reservation they managed to accommodate us. I had the steak, it was cooked perfectly and my husband (a chef himself) had the sea bass and it went in a matter of minutes!!! I highly recommend paying a visit to Bush Pepper for a culinary experience that will leave you wanting more. Thank you Sam and Maisie for your wonderful service and to the lovely owner who took the time to talk to us and check that we enjoyed everything!!

The food was absolutely gorgeous, the service was sensational and the ambiance perfect...this place is an absolute must if you're in Newquay. Not cheap but regardless, very good value! If we return to Newquay then we'll not hesitate to visit again...well done on such a...

Family of 6 and we all ordered something different off the menu and none of us were disappointed. Food was well presented and tasted sensational. Lovely decor and amazing staff. Would highly recommend for a special treat x

I can honestly say from start to finish of entering this establishment I have never been left feeling sounderwhelmed and disappointed by a restaurant in my entire adult life. Me and my partner entered the restaurant at 8:30pm and were placed next to the open...

Cane upon this restaurant by chance, and it is a winner Tastefully decorated Food is excellent, as is the wine. Service is attentive without being intrusive. Our waitress, Darcy, was a joy. I would strongly recommend that you book in advance as this place is busy. I will certainly be coming back for more 😁 Highly recommended

Staff super lovely and friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Mussels and kangaroo steaks were beautiful. High quality ingredients. Food took a little while to come out but I believe this is because the food is super fresh and so this was reflected in the taste....

Went to Bush Pepper for my girlfriends birthday. We didn’t book a table but staff were very accommodating and got us seated at short notice. Food from start to finish was absolutely top class..Possibly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Our sever Sam was brilliant and the owner was also very nice and gave us a shot of her home made Liqueur which was really good. All and all will return to this fabulous restaurant.

Very cool Australian-inspired restaurant in Cornwall. By far the best meal we had in Newquay! Came here two evenings; both times thoroughly enjoyed

Fantastic meal at Bush Pepper - the food was delicious; the atmosphere was delightful; and the service was spot on - heartily recommended. All the staff were amazing, with a special mention to Maisie and the lovely guy who started last Monday! The chef was...

First time at this Cornish gem! Staff were absolutely first class, really friendly and attentive. Special shout out to Maisie, who made some amazing recommendations. Only down side, our holiday ends in two days, so there won't be an opportunity to visit again soon!!! Can...

Amazing food and fabulous service. Maisie who served us was lovely. Def worth a visit if you are in Newquay. We did try the kangaroo and were pleasantly surprised.

Super food, service and attention to detail. We have never been disappointed with the quality of the food, service and ambiance. No reservations about recommending. Steak the best we have eaten. Wonderful service from D'Arcy and the team and home made desserts like no other!

3rd year in a row we have visited Bush Pepper, each year the food and service is great. Our waitress was Darcy, she was friendly and attentive. Worth a visit, but book as it is small and you may not get a table.

Very good meal went for special anniversary meal staff were friendly and good would recommend a visit very good food

Fantastic location with lovely atmosphere. Staff very attentive, food was amazing ! Wine choice great.

Possibly the best restaurant in Newquay, I mean that's not saying much so lets say one of the best restaurants in the southwest. Great food!!!

Just been out for dinner at the Bush Pepper. We are local but had not been here before. We won a voucher that the resturant had donated to a local animal rescue raffle. Easy to book a table on line. We had the olives and bread which is really lovely. Then I had the mushroom linguine. Hubby had the sea food one. Omg the food was amazing. Lovely selection of mushrooms, great balance of flavours with none overpowering the other. Hubby's seafood was so full of fish, crab etc it was the best he had ever had. The resturant is small which is lovely and cosy. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. We will be telling people to go and we definitely will be going back.

My husband and I had an amazing evening here. Lovely atmosphere, with great background music. Staff are welcoming and attentive and the food is delicious. We had scallops and kangaroo scotch egg to start which were both incredible. Followed by kangaroo steak and katsu hake - the flavours and jus added to the dishes are a taste sensation. The end of the meal is greeted with a shot of the owners homemade Baileys. Oh my, I could have drank a bottle of it! Absolutely salute the owner for his creation, now pleeeese find a way to sell this online so I can buy it. Sadly it only lasts for a week and although you can buy it to take home, I want it for future enjoyment 😉 Our waitress Darcy was lovely and a special call out to Sam - although he never served us, he came by to see everything was OK and does a great job of letting you know you can buy 2 sizes of the homemade Baileys for a good price. 👍 really great guy. Would definitely recommend a booking here, it's amazing.

Veggies, pescatarian and meat eaters all catered for. We are local but had not been here before. We won a voucher that the resturant had donated to a local animal rescue raffle. Easy to book a table on line. We had the olives and bread...

Amazing brunch. Gluten free option was v good

Had a lovely meal in this calm modern restaurant, a real find in Newquay. Lovely food, and friendly attentive service from Maisie and the team. Complimentary home made Baileys finished off a delicious meal. The sea bass was amazing, the steak was better than in most places, and the calamari starter is a must!

Had our 20 year wedding anniversary here and can honestly say it was one of the best meals we have ever had. On top of that the friendliness, welcome and professionalism of the staff was second to none. Such a lovely find for us

An excellent and friendly team, who delivered not only outstanding food but a wonderful atmosphere as well. Thanks!

Genuinely outstanding food and a brilliant team. Was an absolute pleasure eating here tonight 🙂

Stunning food and excellent service. Staff are really friendly and helpful and food was delicious would 100% recommend and go again soon. Thank you 😊

Staff were very pleasant and hospitable. Owner Sian made me feel very welcome and wanted, excellent customer service. Food was excellent and staff made me aware they would be a little wait but food came out quickly and was cooked brilliantly. Will definitely be recommending...

No doubt that after reading reviews of anyone who criticises this restaurant that there will be some excuse or feedback from the owner not willing to accept when they are in the wrong. It seems the customer is not always right. We reluctantly paid our...

Excellent, friendly service and first class food. My son loved the kangaroo burger. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended.

Came here for the wife's birthday. Sadly a lot of the menu was not available that day, and we got a waitress on her first day and didn't seem to have any prior experience and did not know the menu. The steak I ordered was a bit tough and sinewy, and more overcooked that I'd asked for which was disappointing. It was the last steak that had so I decided it was not worth asking for a replacement

Great service, great food. Definitely worth a visit.

We had a fantastic dinner at Bush Pepper during a long weekend in Newquay. This is a lovely restaurant serving high end food in a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Our server Maddie was very friendly and attentive, and made the meal a very enjoyable experience....
