Not over commercial these days and the app ordering is a massive pain in the a%*e. Staff not very helpful but it is a good spot.

Hey nice pub. Good location and food. Really good selection of drinks including great local gins etc. Didn't like the ordering system on app or screen, I found it a little in personal. However staff are friendly and helpful.

Beautiful setting, great interior. But why o why o why use McDonald's style self service systems takes away any personal feel from ordering at the bar. Just feels like spending money and drinking a drink. No hospitality. Get rid and get back to being a friendly pub with a stunning view

Genuinely, what is not to like...fantastic location, good capacity, delicious food, priced really competitively and a staff that are all both attentive and professional. Food and drink is ordered via an easy to navigate app, then delivered quickly and efficiently yo your table. For balance I would say that yhe parking was expensive and the table that was reserved for us was tight...I'm not thin, not fat, but the table was tight against me as I ate, next time, I would definitely sit elsewhere (and possibly walk there)! But everything else outweighs these irritations and we will definitely be heading there again.

We have been coming to Bowgie Inn for many, many years (before the makeover!) and it never disappoints! Fabulous food and drink at a reasonable price, wonderful friendly staff and a view to die for! Definitely worth a visit but would recommend booking a table in the summer months.

This pub has such amazing views and so much potential, we stopped in a very quiet pub on a Sunday afternoon for a drink and snack after a walk but were very quickly ready to go. We were pounced on at the door asking what we wanted, then despite the pub being nearly deserted were told to sit by a table of two families with noisy toddlers. We were then told that we couldn't order with the staff at the table despite there being a number of them or at the bar where there were more staff despite them clearly having multiple tills. We had to order on our phones or on the mcdonalds kiosks. All very odd, like some sort of covid hangover where the owner has decided that they would prefer to not have to speak to the customers, had my children not been so thirsty and tired i would have taken the family elsewhere. The qr code we had to scan wasn't printed properly so that took as while, there is no phone reception so you have to join their wifi which is slow. After registering for their website trying to navigate the order webpage takes time as it hasn't been very well designed or mobile optimised, clunky and again slow. After about 15 minutes i managed to place an order on my phone. A few minutes later before the drinks came a bowl of reheated £5 chips and a handful of sauce sachets, after a few more minutes some tiny cups of tea in glass mugs and some £4 kids drinks. No check back, no upselling, nothing, we would have spent more had it not been so painful. The older generation wont cope with all of this for a cup of tea. Busy carpark but no apparent customers, i should imagine full of tourists in season, this place would stand no chance without the views or against some competition. I honestly don’t remember when i last felt so uncomfortable in a pub, a great example of rip off Cornwall.

We stopped in yesterday on our coastal walk, but didn't have high expectations, or eat a full meal due to the under par reviews - just had some hot snacks and drinks Everything was so surprisingly nice, that we returned today for a Sunday roast and pie dish. About £40 for two full meals and two pints. The portions were great, food excellent, staff were really friendly, the location and ambience were top notch. We had no trouble ordering with the App, it was clear and easy to navigate. The waiter had even taken the trouble to bring us out a taster of a drink we thought we might like, before we committed to it. We will definitely go back. Good quality and value for money in our opinion.

Such a shame! I had a ploughman’s which was so disappointing. It was just way way too much lettuce, 4 slices of tomato and cucumber. A tiny bit of bread and a little bit of cheese. No dressing, for the money it was pretty poor. It’s sadly soulless. You order from a Mac Donald’s style screen or from your phone and they ask to add a tip before you have paid? No idea who I’m tipping, the machine or my phone. Food came out quickly which was great but £38 for a salad, a soup a glass of wine and a soft drink. Over priced and souless. The staff were friendly and the location is stunning. But it’s just like a fast food restaurant, but much more expensive. What a shame. .

Honestly one of the worst places I’ve eaten!!!!! self service is like ordering at McDonald’s (at least McDonalds has a counter you can actually speak to someone if you don t want to use the machines ) service .well what service. the only time you speak to someone is when you enter the building The menu says homemade nothing on my plate was homemade and when your paying £25-35 a head you don’t expect frozen food that’s has been reheated in a microwave!!! The only good thing about this place is it’s location the views were amazing so if u want to see the view I’d take a packed lunch with you

From despising The Bowgie Inn to absolutely loving it (I won't eat here) within a few years. The system of payment should be implemented elsewhere as it's fantastic. People whining about it need to get a bit of a clue, you're stuck in yesteryear! Service is second to none with very polite waiters/waitresses. Dog water & biscuits are brought to your table (outside only, no dogs inside except when walking to & from the outdoor area) Great selection of drinks and one of the best views in Cornwall that no one can knock.

Was once a great pub, not no more. Completely lacking in any atmosphere and not even allowed to order from the bar. Virtually rugby tackled by the staff if you leave the table, covid is over!! Only can order on an app or McDonalds style screens.Food is of a Wetherspoon standard but high end prices. For the same money you can go next door to cbay. Same prices but much better quality, friendly service and the same view. Would avoid!

The food here is absolutely fabulous. Every time that I have eaten here, it has been truly delicious. With App or self ordering screens (like certain fast food restaurants), there is no waiting for a member of staff to come over to you. The only negatives I can think of here are the price, which could be seen as a little high (but as stated, the food and drink are delicious), and the parking. Even though the Bowgie does have its own parking, there is not a lot of it, and you end up having to park on the pay and display carpark for the beach (which again is expensive). Regardless of these negatives, it is a must visit. When the weather is good, you can sit outside and take in the amazing view of Crantock beach and the ocean heading out to the horizon.

What a shame. We've visited this pub before, and it had character and charm, but now resembles a service station. On arrival, we're told that we had to order online or at one of the screens (like they have in McDonald's), only to then have to walk past the bar to an outside table. After 10 minutes of signing up to their website in order to actually be able to get a drink, we ordered a pint of lager and a pint of cider. Both were around £7 each, and the lager was actually shandy when it eventually arrived after 20 minutes. Had there been any staff around, we would have complained, but that doesn't seem to be an option on their website. Very disappointing. We won't be visiting again, which is a shame, because a pint at the Bowgie was one of our holiday traditions.

All its character is lost, it now looks like the dining area of a holiday park restaurant. Screens/online ordering only … that’s one way to rile customers. It’s a shadow of what it once was , now a clinical plastic clad establishment that is overpriced. ...£6.50 for a 'luxury' hot chocolate (no flake).

I've been to this place over the years since aged 9, now 38.. And despite all the locals telling me and my partner to stay clear, I decided to give it a shot.. What a mistake.. It's basically a hollow shell of what it once was. It has no soul and can't seem to make up its mind between being a posh restaurant or a weatherspoons knock-off. The food isn't even as good as weatherspoons, and for the price ranges, I'd expect closer to Miller & Carter. Instead, what you get is basically zero service, staff that greet you for one reason and one reason only, to ask if you know how to use their kiosks to order food like I'm at McDonalds and not some picturesque remote pub/restaurant between two of Cornwalls best beaches. I'll never go back, I consider The Bowgie dead, that is trying to appeal to the posh hotel next door while still grasping at straws with mid food at high prices.

We visited here as we do most years.I would echo a lot of the other reviews regarding the food and atmosphere. The place has been refurbished but I feel its lost its character now. Ordering from a McDonald's style kiosk is really sad aswell because the service aspect has gone. You can't order a drink at the bar anymore its all online ordering etc. The food wasn't great, I would describe it as average at best. Unfortunately I wouldn't rush to return anytime soon as its just lost its spark now. Don't forget to pay the extortionate car parking prices to have an average experience at this place, really poor that you have to pay to park to use the pub. £70.00 I wish I hadn't spent.

Beautiful restaurant in fantastic surroundings let down by a fast food production system whilst charging premium prices where a good restaurant would give you the personal service. So orders are only taken by app or touchscreen ( like McDonald's) mains menu was limited which in my personal opinion if the food is top notch no issue, me and my wife ordered the steak , both ordered medium rare , both were what I would call well done , the mushroom cremated, no one asks how your meal is . It has the feel of a fast food restaurant whilst charging premium prices and was easily one of the worst steaks I've had in a while. £75 for two meals and two drinks is expensive, if your going to treat your customers like a fast food restaurant customer at least charge prices accordingly. The views outside stunning though.

Stunning views but that's all this place has to offer ! We parked up in the overflow carpark paid over £5 walked up towards the decking area where a gate was wide open walked upto the bar and asked for a pint big mistake apparently as an awful female manager who looked about 20 stormed over to us and said you can't order at the bar if you had walked through the main entrance we would of checked you in. So we walked upto the desk near main door got checked in was given a piece of paper with a app on it to order a drink as we walked back outside the same girl slammed the side gate and said it's "Not difficult to read ! " I later found out that the side gate had a sign on it saying use main entrance we was planning on having drinks and food but we felt so unwelcome that we had one drink and left shocking place.

I have been coming to this pub for about 10 years now ever since I have been holidaying in Newquay. On my recent visit I was really disappointed. I have been here since the pub had a makeover which at the time, I didn't particularly like because it changed the atmosphere of the place. However on this visit, there is now a reception desk as you walk in, not a lectern like most places, a full on desk where you are greeted by a member of staff, who was extremely pleasant and asked if we were eating or just having a drink. We were then handed a bar code to take to our table to place our order. However, if you cannot use the bar code, the alternative is a McDonald's style ordering screen located behind the reception desk where you can also place an order. I was shocked. The place completely lacked atmosphere and was like an upmarket McDonald's but twice the price. How many pubs do you know of where uou cannot go to the bar to order a drink. What if you don't have a mobile phone and want to pay in cash!! Such a shame, had so many good times in here but won't be rushing back 😕

Unfortunately The Bowgie Inn has lost ALL the character that made it a must visit, in the past. Food was good and served quickly, however there is no service from the bar as all drinks and food has to be ordered via an app or from sceens on the wall, as per McDonald's. No physical menu, just a "Q" code. Felt more like a conveyor belt restaurant than a pub. Add to this you now have to pay for parking. Great venue but no longer on my list of pubs to visit in Cornwall. Shame

The 'McDonald's lite' computer ordering system combined with a nice building reminds me more of a weatherspoons than a good cornish pub.

Dreadful McDonalds style touch screen system that’s not wiped down after each use (Extremely unhygienic!). Diners can use their own phone to order using a QR code but I never take a phone into a restaurant. I had the spinach quiche which was very salty and salad. The salad was on a red hot plate with the quiche. Very strange. Did not say anything as it was an 18th birthday dinner but needless to say, I won’t be returning. Staff did not return to check if everything was ok anyway. You have to pay up front when you order so once they have your money, that’s it. The place has a commanding view of the bay which is wonderful.

On arrival we were asked if we wanted drinks before going to our seats, once at our seats I noticed they had a private function room, so asked as we were a large party with a LOT of children "could we use the room" they said this was fine and we could move into the room. As a thank you for the staff's friendliness, I moved the tables myself for us all in the function room and then cleaned up the floor and set the room back as we found it. I would recommend anyone in Newquay or Cornwall to give this place a visit, You will be welcomed, have a fantastic view and fantastic food!

It's really hard to rate this place now! I have been coming here since I was a little girl. I am 55 this year, however, I still attend festivals, go out dancing and drinking and have an active social life so there is life in the old dog yet (just to put to bed the 'this is progress' remarks). The people are polite and smiley when they bring your drinks and food and when they collect your glasses and dishes. The fact that the ordering is the same as a McDonalds is an absolute shame for me personally, although if you wish to be served at the counter at McDonald's you still have the option, at the Bowgie Inn you don't. I went to get a round of drinks and was told they couldn't serve from the bar! No interaction from the staff. I always tip 20% but could not as there was no personal service, too mechanised for me, sadly, I shall not be returning. The food was good, and the necessary service was there but too detached. This is not the fault of the individuals working there, just the processes that have been put in place.

Lost its appeal massively Been here from being a kid when the pub was pink the atmosphere was fantastic great views great pub I appreciate things have to modernise somewhat Took us 15 minutes to log in as it was to complicated Tbh I will never go back There are now better pubs I will go to Feel sorry for bar staff Look at trip advisor for a realistic review of the bowgie which gives it a 3 out of 5 In my view that is to much Good bye bowgie

Took 20 minutes to place an order even to get a drink as had to order on phone; annoying , frustrating and why not just let us order face to face! Staff were lovely but no personal service 😢. Part of going out is being able to interact.

On a sunny day it's a fantastic place to go for drinks and a meal with lovely views of the coast, first class

Had to order food and drink McDonalds style. When I wanted a second drink I went to the bar where I was told that they could not serve from the bar and that I should go up the stairs behind the bar and order at the machine again! No chance! Shan't be back!

We used to visit the Bowgie Inn when it was the pink pub for years and it should never have changed. It was a lovely pub and fantastic for families and all that has been taken away by modernising it. We were very disappointed. It had no atmosphere, everything was done via QR code or McDonald's style touch screen, and staff looked bored stiff as they had nothing to do. The drinks were expensive, not a lot of choice for main meals, but the food was nice and filling. The kids meal was 3/4 plate of chips, 1 sausage and small dish of beans. A bit of a joke! We would not return and not be recommending it to others.

Hate the McDonald's style ordering system. Can't even get a drink at the bar.

Very good, but you have to order and pay via the app!

This is a pub that sells drinks not food. I can only comment on a pint of Tribute being £3.35 at weekends and £3.15 on weekdays (dynamic pricing). A great pint at an amazing price being almost £2 cheaper than where I live!! The pub also shows a lot of sport having 5 or more massive TVs dotted about. Always good to find such a venue. A few tables have a good view of the harbour but most don’t There is also a pool table

I cannot understand the bad reviews - we had a truly lovely meal. It was great to finally find a chip shop that caters (in a friendly manner!) for those who need gluten free food - and both the “normal” and GF meals were delicious. I also lucked in as I was given a piece of broken fish to eat whilst we waited for our order! Lovely staff, delicious food - top marks.
