Fistral Blu in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Great Breakfast ans the best view around! Very busy place but food was great and the service fast and friendly. We came back later for cocktails.

Our regular "local" on holiday. Great range of drinks, amazing friendly staff who are always happy to chat and clearly love working there. Dog friendly, Great atmosphere and of course great views and lots to watch. We mainly come for a tasty breakfast and drinks in the early evening both are great experiences. See you next year guys, thank you ☺️

The best spot on fistral beach especially on a sunny day. Had breakfast and also lunch over a few days. Fantastic relaxing atmosphere

This place made our first visit to Newquay a truly magical experience. The food portions are more than enough! Their coffees are the best I've had in a long long time. Ultimately it's the view that you can admire whilst chilling after a day on the beach that makes this place what it is.

Great views and atmosphere, food decent. Well worth multiple stops. Sat up on the decking drinking, pop down for a swim/body board back up to the bar more drinks, food, back down to beach for swimming, surfing. Rinse and repeat all day long, this in itself would be a lovely week of holidaying every day.

If you want sun, sand, and cider that’ll make you believe in miracles, hit up the bar on Fistral Beach! I swang by on a sunny day before Boardmasters—busy as a seagull convention, but the service was so quick it felt like magic. The Rattler cider on tap? Absolute perfection, like liquid gold with a cheeky kick. It’s the kind of place where you leave with a grin, a bit of a buzz, and probably some sand in places you didn’t expect—but it’s totally worth it!

Ropey service for the food. Waited nearly an hour for it and it wasn't very nice. Drinks wernt great either . I thought the food was very overpriced. £17.95 each for the burger. Only went as convenient but wouldn't go back. Bloke outside giving out menus. Never a good sign when trying to beg for business

Great location and views across beach, prices seem to have risen since our last visit and portion sizes reduced. Staff all friendly.

Amazing view, a great relaxed atmosphere. Friendly & welcoming staff, lovely food! We will definately return. I think I have found my favorite place.

Cute place for a drink. Food looked and smelt nice but didn’t eat there. Gorgeous views! Can sit outside. We will return in future.

If I could review this for location, it's a hands down 5*. Up until today, the food was probably that aswell. Always been a favourite, fool proof place. However, today, we were really disappointed. I don't know what they've done with their food but the portions were extremely small. I reckon, half the size for pulled pork loaded fries than last time. The amount of pulled pork inside the wrap must have amounted to a meer scraping. The pizza was a great size, albeit very greasy. A real shame as it's always been a place we return to for food, but i'm not sure we will do so again. Will maybe stick to a drink and enjoy the view. Very disapointed.

We visited fistral beach and stopped here for drinks and lunch, the service was brilliant, no long wait for food or drink, as busy as it was the staff did not miss a beat, thank you for a lovely afternoon

Loved the location, the vibe and the food was really good. The loaded fries were a big hit for us. Staff were on hand to help entertain kids by giving them colouring and crayons. My top tip would be wear a hat if it’s hot.

Went to Stables tonight for my husbands 40th (which I had made them aware of on my booking) throughout the whole meal there was no acknowledgement of this. Service was really slow and it wasn’t that busy, one server didn’t seem to be fully on it, said she would get things and didn’t. All in all I was really excited about visiting stables tonight and was really disappointed.

Great venue, spectacular views. Busy but with lots of staff cleaning tables as they became free. Excellent service should be on your to do list for sure!

Fantastic place , great staff , great view , wish I lived here , food the best especially the loaded fries x beer exceptional and clean , I'm a landlord and the lines are great best in n Newquay

Came on a holiday from India was disappointed there was no curry here however had a lovely burger shame there wasn't more of it loved it! However they did not except my Amex!

For a £12 breakfast I’d expect something fairly nice, instead I got what looked and tasted like a crap school dinner but with smaller portions. Definitely the worst breakfast in Newquay

I was very surprised to see that there was nothing on the menu stating that they had any gluten free options. I spoke to a waitress, who then passed me onto somebody else, and then I spoke to somebody else who confirmed I could a number of gluten free options. After looking back at the menu, I picked poached eggs, avocado and went with gf hash browns as they didn't have gf bread. The eggs were delicious, the avocado was more like guacamole then just avocado and the hash browns were very dry and tasteless. This was all a great shame, as I was looking forward to the food, as we were stopping in en route home.

We sat on the terrace and had a great view of the beach. The place was packed and dogs are allowed, which is lovely. We just had a couple of drinks and a bowl of nachos. The food is quite overpriced.

Positive- pleasant staff excellent view. You will keep coming back you know you will, it’s the view!!! ( explore other areas of Cornwall if you able. Some fabulous places.) Negative- very overpriced underwhelming drinks. If you have a locals card/ membership ,you will get a big discount. Lucky you. The poor tourists are shafted big time! Remember this when you buy your drink and meal. This bar is not unique with this set up in Newquay. Food acceptable, priced about the same as most meals in town. Very average. If your looking for amazing drinks and food you won’t find it here. With coronavirus seemingly manageable, and some complacent British seaside business, is it time for a virtually guaranteed cost and weather effective , holiday abroad???????!!!!

Great location for drinks, but food was expensive for what it was. Pizzas, burgers, loaded chips etc. All basic stuff. None of it prepared very well and made with poor quality ingredients. Would suggest you save your money for food made by someone who knows what they are doing and cares about it.

The view was the best part, drinks were good, food and drink both okay for the money, atmosphere was great a real authentic beachy vibe. However the staff let it down, the guys behind the bar were rather rude and ignored us most of the time instead favouring young girls and guys they seemed to know and chatting with them instead of doing their jobs. The only one that actually helped us and was a lovely young girl called Alana. Great place with a great atmosphere unfortunately MOST of the staff let this place down! Disappointing, as we visited last year and it was a totally different experience sadly.

We love this place. Right on beautiful fistal beach. The best coffee and lunches. Super friendly staff. We always got a table close to the front so we could watch the kids on the beach.

On a superb beach front spot with raised views this is a fantastic bar. Great good, really friendly staff, dog friendly and good bear. A small choice of cocktails but great menu and something to suit everyone. Birds are plentiful and will sit right next to you! We loved it here

Great food and drinks, lovely seating areas inside and out, friendly staff, food and drinks lovely, kids colouring activities while They wait for food and drinks kept them Entertained.

Been coming here for years as we used to love it. Ordered nachos with chilli beef, sent back as lacking beef and cold, prepared a fresh set but same again - chilli beef is not chill beef as anyone else would recognise, luke warm sauce with bit of spice and half teaspoon of something that is claiming to be mince (across two dishes). I know times are hard but this is very disappointing and not how you used to be.

Fantastic Bar and staff. Reasonable prices, good vibes and most importantly to our large group it takes CASH.

Great little cafe. Nice seating area. Nice coffee and best hot chocolate ever according to my daughter 👍🏻👍🏻. I would advise getting there early as you may struggle for a seat later in the day.

Great views. We loved watching the surfers. Popped in for a quick drink with family. Nice, busy atmosphere. Dogs welcome. Managed to get a table outside easily on a busy, windy & rainy afternoon under the canopy. Amazing location, might eat there next time. Only down side was I cleared and cleaned down our table which I didn’t mind doing as it was busy but some might not fancy doing this for themselves.

Be careful. There's a blonde bouncer with a problem with 50 year old women out with their families.

The perfect to a day no matter the weather. A must after a trip to Fistral Beach, you can watch the beach, enjoy the view and relax. If it’s raining there is an under cover area. Dog friendly and very welcoming.

BEST PLACE EVERRRRR!! Never fails to disappoint! Great staff, great service with the BEST view. I bloody love it here!!!

We’ve been here twice now on our holiday. Dinner one night and lunch on another day and both were excellent. Lots of seating (indoors or out, shade or sun) , dog friendly and cracking views. The burgers are to die for and the staff super...

Been coming to Newquay & Fistral for over 10 years …foods been getting steadily worse….I had the nachos / onion rings & fries …firstly nachos were covered in slop …all be it three different flavours of slop …I was expecting fresh guacamole …fresh salsa (or...

Absolutely gutted, been coming here for 20 years, one of my favourite places to come to. But have got very complacent knowing they have a captive audience. Ordered food, asked for no toppings due to dairy issues and it still came with cheese on. Was...

We’ve been here a few times and although the view will take your breath away, the standard has always left us disappointed. Due to its positioning no doubt it gets extremely busy, and you’re constantly hovering waiting to try and get a table. If you...

We’ve been visiting this bar for several years, numerous times during our holiday’s and it never disappoints. Visited today for our last breakfast before we travelled home and we couldn’t fault it. Service was super friendly (as always) attentive, and quick. Even our little Frenchie...

Excellent for drinks on the beach front , staff here really friendly too would return again in the future. Maybe next time try the food too.

Fabulous “classic” breakfast. Beautifully cooked. Great coffee. Wonderful beach/sea views. Why go anywhere else?

What’s not the like? Perfect location. Great atmosphere. Plenty of sitting-although gets very busy quickly. Dog and child friendly. Food was lovely and well priced considering the location. Been before and always head back. Staff work their a**es off.

friendly staff lovely lattes overlooking Fistral, sunsets, beach the waves... amazing place to be to unwind.. place has a lovely friendly vibe definitely be revisiting

Popped in after a dog walk along fistral. Very popular, dog friendly & friendly staff. Mocha and hot chocolate were excellent & great views from the balcony.

Sheltered on a hugely windy day and had great food and good beer in a welcoming and friendly (dogs and kids too) restaurant. Happy to recommend both inside and outside.

Lovely welcoming staff, and the best nachos I've ever had. Eaten beside the the beach, what more could I ask for.

We popped down for a walk with the dogs and thought let’s stop for lunch and a well deserved drink. Sat outside as quite a nice day and the food we had was great, good sized portion and really tasty. Only downside were the friendly...

great location that's where it ends! and there is other bars to pick from not this one to eat in. needs tlc out side, we had a drink and food the tables were not being cleared plenty of staff around we had to push someone...

Very busy when we visited, I would not recommend sitting outside if you suffer from ornithophobia as the food attracts quite a few starlings and seagulls. I had a lovely pint of St Austells Proper Job, other had Rattler cider. We sneaked in a couple...

Good atmosphere, terrible food. The beach bar is reliable for sunset drinks, surf videos and decent music. But it’s not very clean. The ladies toilets are always in need of cleaning. And the food quality has taken a dive recently. Real cheese has been replaced...

£5.00 for the worst bacon sandwich ever! Simple.. flabby piece of boiled bacon on a cheap bit of bread just chucked on the table .. shame.. but captive audience they can rip people off all day.. my own fault for going!

We visited a few times in our recent week in Newquay and had the best experience each time. Food was great (pizza & fries) and bar service always quick no matter how busy they were. One of the few places you can get a takeout...

I came in for a drink today, and there was a woman claiming she was "famous" shouting, singing (through a microphone I may add). It took a long time for staff to speak with her, and even when they did their approach was "Oh just...

Fistral Beach bar is the first place we visit when we visit Cornwall and the last before we go home. Been visiting for 14 years and love it. The view out across the beach is wonderful and when the sun goes down, there is no...

Great location overlooking Fistral Beach, live DJs, great atmosphere - go here every time we visit Newquay.

Great Views and decent value for Money. Food is average.Good for a fast lunch or Dinner. Not for special occasions.

Had lovely hot chocolate with cream, clean and nice seating. Three types of corning pasty, it was very cool wind so it was nice to sit outside as it was very sheltered

What can I say? I visited today as I needed a bit of ME time. The staff made me fell more than welcome, so much so that I stayed for breakfast then lunch 🤣 The food was lovely, the service amazing, the kindness and compassion...

Our family cannot visit Newquay without a visit to the Beach Bar, whether this is breakfast lunch or dinner! We have visited at all different times of year, but this visit was amazing! A great buzz, and although busy, you never have to wait around...

Went twice while in newquay, a great bar looking over the beach, is not 5 stars more like 4/4.5. we went the first time the day we arrived which was a friday night so very buy the second time a thursday night not so busy...

Great location to wind down and watch fistral beach life, and really friendly staff who make you feel genuinely welcome. Dog friendly!

Lovely place never been here before,met up with my daughter's. Seating inside and out. Staff really friendly. This is a must place to visit to have a drink or food. Can't wait to come back. We had cocktails (Candy floss Gin) and food, food was...

We stopped here for a bite to eat and a beer when visiting the beach! The stone baked pizzas were the best ive had in a long time! The waitress was really friendly and the views of the beach were just incredible! Would highly recommend!

Not a massive fan of themed surf bar type places (although there's obviously going to be one on Fistral Beach) and probably best avoided during holiday season, but at any other time, food and service perfectly OK.

Waited 45mins for a £5 Bacon Roll that NEVER turned up. How hard is it? Get roll. Cut roll. Butter. Insert Bacon. Serve. Enquired on order after 30mins. Kitchen staff looked busy chatting. Not much cooking going on. Manager comes out (big bloke with beard)....

Visited this afternoon, was served by ellie. She was very chatty and made us feel welcome, very polite and quick service too. Lovely day and views, will come back:)

Very good for drinks overlooking the fistral beach. Can get very busy. Outdoor and indoor tables. Helpful and friendly owner directing to tables. Local cider.

We’ve sat many a day late afternoon and early evening in these last 2 months that we have been on holiday in Newquay. We’ve taken advantage of the mild weather and we’re able to sit on the terrace and enjoy the beautiful views along Fistral...

We didn’t eat here but we sat outside and enjoyed a couple of drinks. Service was good easy normal bar service. I was really impressed with the effort that went into making my gin and tonic.. great choice of local drinks. Stunning views of the...

Visited here a couple times whilst stopping in Newquay over the summer - was an ideal location looking over Fistral beach and we could just turn up and didn't have to book a table. It was one of the few places in Newquay that as...

Went here every day for breakfast, as it was so poor at the Headland Hotel. Lovely freshly cooked and great service with a smile. Oh and great views of the beach and reasonably priced.

Ordered a Margareta pizza with extra mushrooms and pineapple and got the thinnest crisp of a pizza with no fresh basil as described and hardly any mushrooms or pineapple which we had paid extra for, it was like the thinnest tasteless cardboard because it had...

We had a delicious pizza overlooking the beach. Great value for money, friendly staff and a fabulous lunch

Food was lovely. Highly recommend the pizza as it was freshly made. Service was great as well, staff were very friendly. There’s a lovely atmosphere here and its good for just drinks as well as food. The view from the outside seating area is stunning....

Initially we we’re heading to Rick Stiens restaurant above. But due to their shambolic customer service we left before even getting seated. Glad we did, sat in the outdoor area under the cover. Nice and toasty. Drinks ordered at the bar and food at the...

It's really nice to be able to sit over the beach and have a drink and snack. The menu is a little limited, but there are also pasties available inside which for some reason aren't mentioned on the menu. Reasonable prices and friendly staff, in...

We stayed on Pentire and loved walking over to the beach bar. Open all day, the staff are super friendly and lovely to talk to, great selection of drinks and of course - what a view!

Went to fistral beach bar from some breakfast this morning. Worst and smallest bacon sandwich i’ve ever had. Gobsmacked for the price. Bacon was so hard and dry. Took about 15 minutes for the girl behind the counter to make 2 hot chocolates due to...

Whist I'm not a surfer (I wish!) I've spent waaaaaaay too much time and money in apres-ski bars and this place had a very similar vibe and outlook. I didn't enjoy having to queue for 30 mins to get in but once at our table,...

Prizes have increased by over 10% since spring this year. Quality of food has really gone down hill. Bar service only in a very cramped area, hardly any masks are worn by staff or customers! No wonder Newquay has the highest infection rate in the...

We got a surprisingly decent seat on the terrace. Just walk in, grab a menu and order at the bar. All pretty easy. Simple menu of pizzas, nachos, salads & loaded fries. Food took a while but that suited us on a sunny day with...

Great little bar we had breakfast while watching the surfing we had great views. The staff where polite and friendly ant the food was good only let down was the toilets at the back of the bar they where in quite a mess. Will definitely...

Great location to watch the sunset and have a drink, food was nice and great hot chocolate when it gets chilly

After being treated so rudely in another restaurant in Newquay we headed here! There were 11 of us in total and they accommodated us, were friendly and the food and drinks were fab! Will definitely return xx

Newquay is under pressure with record numbers of visitors wishing to dine during their well earned holidays and the Fistral Beach Bar is standing up to the challenge. We visited for lunch and was told there was an hours wait for food, our order was...

Always great service here! We pay at least a couple of visits when we go on holiday. We had lunch and breakfast here this year and food was great! Jo served us and she was fantastic, really helpful and professional and couldn't do enough for...

Pleasant bites, drinks and cocktails to was away the salt and sand and fill up after a swim or surf . Book recommneded

Very disappointed with the service of a man working in the beach bar. My partner and I order lunch and drinks here this week. After an hour of waiting, which we was not advised of, then noticing people who had ordered after us receiving their...

Sitting on the balcony overlooking fistral beach is lovely and well worth going into the fistral beach bar for. However, there are NO vegan options at all. We were ordering off the breakfast menu. I asked the staff whether there were any vegan options, and...

Love this place. Stayed just up the road on holiday and this was our local for the week. Food and drink great, very friendly hard working staff. So dog friendly too :) Ok sometimes you may have to wait for a table but worth it....

We stayed near Fistral Beach on our recent trip so it was great to have this bar to visit most evenings. Entry to the Bar is so well organised, tables cleaned and the Service was excellent. We ate here a few times and both Breakfast...

We were sat down straight away with no wait for our evening dinner by the friendliest staff we’ve encountered so far on our holiday with a lovely view right next to the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our food and we even managed to watch the sun...

I love this bar and food, staff are amazing .. always clean and happy to help you. Owner Nick is lovely My one place I will always recommend in Newquay Great food, lovely drinks and amazing staff – Thank you xx

We visited for a quick drink whilst on a walk. We were greeted by a lovely man who filled us in on the procedure and pointed out toilets etc. We were going to sit at a table but he asked if we could wait before...

This place was the best meal of our trip to Newquay. Came after a day on the beach. The views were amazing, the portions were generous, service was quick!

We have recently returned from our stay in Newquay where we have holidayed once a year for several years.This bar has a wonderful location with fabulous views over to the beach and sea.Kevin and his team always look after us well.Every member of staff that served us were friendly and helpful, a real refreshing change.Good selection of food and drinks.Hygiene standard very good and Covid restrictions adhered to.Thank you to all of the staff for doing a great job.We will be back next year.

Not one to write a review but on this occasion feel that I have to.Turned up for a quick drink/bite to eat, was greeted by a lovely chap and was quickly seated. Was seating in the middle of the bar away from the sea with the glass drink bucket behind me, I didn’t mind too much and really was happy we were able to get in, A lovely guy walked past and I asked if I could be moved to the front row with a sea view, he said sure so we moved.Next minute a waitress with short hair walked through the bar and noticed we had sat there, she threw her hands in the air as if to say how dare you and gave the foulest look.After that we immediately felt unwelcome. The same lady walked past a few minutes later and I explained we asked to move and asked kindly if our food order could follow us, she said no and if don’t keep our eye on our old table we won’t get our food.Every time she walked past after I received dagger and stares of death. I dare to go back again for my own safety.I could understand if the tables were being cleaned after each customer and we caused more work for the staff, but this is definitely not the case as we watched people leaving and new people sitting with no cleaning on every occasion, further, I didn’t see anyone with a cloth or spray the whole time! Really get the feeling here the task is to get as many in and out, but please remember we are human! Definitely will not be visiting again, would rather go to the fish house upstairs or one of the other bars in the same complex, where you get real service!

Sorry to say £8 for a Diet Coke and a pint of lager shandy is expensive and a 15 min wait to be served plus another 15 mins to get the drinks which arrived wrong Food is good (apparently) but we didn’t order as again the food is quite expensive for what it is (£14 for a Hawaiian pizza)Tables not being wiped down as so many people coming in they are not getting the time to do it Lovely location with a wonderful view but sadly, this doesn’t justify the prices or the quality of service

My friends and I popped into Fistral Beach Bar to get out of the sun for a while on Tuesday. We were really surprised to be seated, in the shade, within about 15 minutes! Such great, efficient service! We just had a couple of drinks, and a big jug of water then some chips to satisfy a little mid afternoon hungry! The chips were delicious and disappeared very quickly. All in all, great service and a lovely place with beautiful views.10/10 for me!

All the signs were up but very few of the staff observing covid restrictions, masks below their chins if wearing one and leaning in to talk to customers. Table service just didn't happen so had to go to the bar, intended to stay for a while with friends but we all only had one drink then left to find a place where we could actually relax. Really disappointed as we are local and used to be frequent customers.

We visited the Beach Bar yesterday afternoon. Despite it being a busy bank holiday week, the staff couldn't have been more efficient. Laura and Kev who were organising the check in and seating, were super friendly and made sure everything was running smoothly. Laura seated us after thoroughly cleaning the table first. After a couple of minutes she came over to make sure that we had been served, which we had. She was flitting between tables checking that everyone was happy and chatting to customers and that no one was waiting for too long.Thanks so much Beach Bar crew!
