Absolutely blooming BEAUTIFUL! We already want to come back to try everything on the Menu. Mix of starters and Mains, Panko Squid, fresh squid and crispy panko crumb cooked perfectly. Fish Chowder one of the best we've ever tasted and again fresh with freshly "home" made bread. Mains 2 Steaks as that's what we'd set out to have but honestlyi could have eaten anything on the menu it sounded lovely, we had a Ribeye which was on the Specials board and a huge chunk of a Sirloin from the main menu, both cooked to perfection, hand cut chips with salad, (ps the salad dressing deserves 5*too). All of the meals bought out to other customers whilst we were there looked perfect too, so this will be our new place to visit! Staff are extremely professional, well organised and front of house perfection (coming from a similar background it was all just spot on. Not over not under fussy and we were extremely impressed with the service and staff) If you haven't visited please visit, book in advance to avoid disappointment! Good range of beers and a nice selection of wines too.

The first thing I noticed when we walked in was how immediately friendly and attentive the staff were. The atmosphere was very friendly and warming. I run a very busy retail business and I train all my staff to smile and speak to guests when they make eye contact. This was very evident immediately in this great little hidden gem of a restaurant. The selection on the menu is not to complicated which is a great sign of a restaurant doing the same dishes perfectly. My wife and I both ordered the special of fish cowder, which was genuinely one of the best I've eaten. No additional seasoning was required, which is common place with that dish, and the generous chunks of fish were very soft and flavourful. Served with some very nice sourdough gooey bread that was perfect for swatting up the remnants in the bowl. For Main course, my wife had the slow cooked beef with creamy garlic mash. She absolutely loved it and said that the mash was unbelievably nice. I had the 10oz Sirloin, and I asked for rare. In my experience, a lot of chefs always overcook a rare steak. This was absolutely perfect. The diane sauce on the side was also excellent. Creamy and packed full of flavour. Because those two dishes were so good and so generous in portion. We couldn't fit in a pud. I've never seen my wife NOT ORDER a pud. Wow. I love to see small family run business doing well. It is a true little hidden gem in Newquay. Next time we visit Newquay, we will definitely revisit. My only advice is, get a bigger and more prominent place because with simple yet top quality food like that, which is well priced, you'll fill the place easy. Thank you Mr and Mrs Blake.

I couldn't hope for better, born in a country of fishermen and with one of the best cuisines in the world, I consider myself a person who is demanding about what I eat, 5 stars, the fish is fresh and cooked to perfection, the friendly service and the hygiene is impeccable. Everything in proper proportion. Even the espresso looked like it was taken in Portugal. It wasn't cheap but I was still happy to leave a tip, such was the quality. Without a doubt, a place to return. Well done, and thank you very much.

UPDATE: September 2024 - Years later and this restaurant never disappoints. Service is excellent. The manager Trevor is very personable and great at his job. Restaurant runs smoothly, it's kept clean and presentable even when busy. All the staff are friendly and helpful. They go the extra mile to ensure the customer is happy and that allergies are taken care of. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal this evening. I didn't want the Rib Eye steak to end and that homemade Diane Sauce was incredible. Can't wait until next time. Thank you. August 2022 - Fantastic restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and busy which is a good sign. My order did take a long time but I didnt mind waiting. My steak was undercooked and they happily took it back to cook longer. I got a free drink for the inconvenience and I was very happy with the service. The food was amazing, lovely and fresh and good portion size. I highly recommend

Price, performance and service - simply top! We had the SEAFOOD MARINIERE (everything cooked to perfection) and the 80oz steak with diane sauce, which tasted unbelievably good. We like to eat well and are accordingly critical of what we are served. However, in the whole week we were in Newquay, we didn't eat anywhere better than at Butchers. The unbelievably nice, unobtrusive and friendly service of all the waiters is also worth mentioning. (I would make a reservation) Thank you for a great evening

We did not have any booking, just walked in and asked. They were fully booked but they could take us an hour later. Food was great - my wife had Seafood Mariniere and I had trio of fish. Fish was perfectly cooked and services was good considering how busy they were. Price is very reasonable. Good food, good services and reasonable price - 5 stars!

Been there years ago with old owners and it was amazing. So off for a birthday treat. Unfortunately not now so good. We ordered the same steak for both of us one was good the other was bad. Tasted eggy and was tough. The beer was cloudy. We went for lunch the day after in a local pub and had much better quality food. Very disappointing. Not sure the random salad really went or complimented anything else on the plate. Not as bad as spoons but 4x the price.

We’re a local and eat in many places. There are many locations around cornwall that have the advantage of a beautiful scenery, a good food. However the food served from start to end will blow you away, if taste is everything with the highest quality of food, cooked perfectly… you will not be disappointed. The standard and level of food is stunning. Kitchen is on show which is a plus, you feel like the chef’s are wanting you to be delighted with the food.. always better then a chef being hidden away… If you’ve never eaten here, Go for it, experience the food then have a walk on the cliff front afterwards and take in the stunning views of the sea, and watch a breathtaking sunset or the moon across the ocean… A perfect backdrop finish to Top food.

Really great restaurant that is just being itself. No fancy frills from a decor perspective but all clean and well laid out. The food and service is fantastic with some amazing local produce. This fish was brilliantly cooked and tasty. We have the local Camel Creek vineyard white wine which was excellent. There is a great kids menu so you can make this a family affair. The staff were so helpful and nothing was to much trouble. The pace of the course serving was just right, not rushed but not to slow either. We will be back again next year thanks.

I came across this restaurant while googling places to eat seafood in Newquay. As it is a smaller restaurant, it is best to book. We booked about a week in advance for the bank holiday weekend. There was only the option to book up to 6 people online, so we had to call into book for 8. Luckily they had availability at 6pm as we said we would be out by 8pm. I think we finished at 7pm because we were starving from the activities from the morning. There was a variety of specials on the board next to the kitchen. One of our party members tried the lobster tagliatelle and it was so nice that we booked to come again the following night to have this dish. There is outdoor seating available, but as it was a wet day, we were given a seat inside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food portions were good, we were so full that we popped down the beach for a walk. We tried the trio fish, the thing about this dish, I would have enjoyed it more if the fish was grilled and there was a sauce. The vegetables were a bit bland, so a sauce would have been nice. It was a very biiiiig portion! We also tried the fish chowder, this was very flavourful and it came in two sizes. Luckily we ordered the smaller size to share with my partner, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to finish it! We also loved the seafood mariniere, there was so much seafood that it could be shared with another person. The sauce it came with was good for dipping with bread. My 11 year old absolutely loved the seafood mariniere and lobster linguine! I would have loved to try some desserts, but we were just too full of seafood on both occasions! This was definitely a good find and if I can manage the 7 hour drive back to Cornwall, I would pop in for another visit!

During a recent trip to Cornwall, my husband, daughter, two best friends, and I had the pleasure of dining at Butchers Bistro, and it was an experience to remember! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth that we immediately felt at home. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the seafood selections were particularly outstanding. The line-caught fish of the day was the softest and most delicious fish I have ever tasted. Every single person at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meal, savoring each bite. The service was exceptional. Our two waitresses, who happened to be twins, were absolutely fantastic. Their attentiveness and cheerful demeanor added to the wonderful atmosphere of the evening. Additionally, a very friendly gentleman assisted in serving our table, making the experience even more delightful. A particularly special moment occurred when the staff overheard one of my friends mention it was my birthday. Without us asking, they played a birthday song over the speakers and surprised us by presenting one of our desserts with a candle. This thoughtful gesture made my birthday incredibly special and was a testament to their outstanding service. If we find ourselves back in Cornwall, we will definitely be returning to Butchers Bistro. It’s not just a place to eat, but a place to create beautiful memories with loved ones. Highly recommended!

1st night of our few days away, we wanted a dog friendly restaurant to come to, which is 1 reason we chose here. Wasn't a busy evening for them but service was good. I chose the steak, which was very big and well cooked but served in a flat ish bowl and not a plate which made for cutting it a bit awkward. My husband had a prawn spaghetti dish, which was nice but very small, we also ordered the hake risotto, which was apparently lovely but served with a salad underneath it, we thought this was very unusual. My daughter just wanted chicken breast and chips, so we asked to remove the salad, mushrooms and tomato which they did but at £21 was very expensive even if she had had it all! And again this was served in a bowl. The 2 desserts ordered were nice. Nice meal and good service just a bit expensive for the size of meals.

Unfortunately, this was not a pleasant food experience for me. It was a Wednesday night when we dined here. As a non fish eater, I had the roast beef dinner. The meat was dry vegetables cooked to a mush with a heavily granulated gravy. From where I was sat, I could see, and here the microwave in use. I definitely felt that the food I was served had been prepared on the previous Sunday and had been reheated on order. I have no complaints about the service, which was excellent and the restaurant itself was clean and presentable, but the quality of my food really was unacceptable. I haven't written about my partners food as I don't eat seafood, but she wasn't convinced that any of it was fresh.

On balance I've given it a 4 based in the food / price but the service was outstanding- friendly, helpful and welcoming without being in any way intrusive. The food was very good but seemed to lack that very top level of fine dining and extra depth of flavour you might expect given the menu / website. Atmosphere good but fairly quiet for a Saturday night and furniture a little dated.

+staff very nice -food was terrible, maybe I should have gone for the steak. Though I thought the trio of fish served with fresh seasonal veg and new potatoes would be nice, it was horrendous, probably the worse meal I’ve eaten since being last in Hosptial, one of the trio was past it’s best, tasted off. The vegetables were awful, mushy brown broccoli, pre sliced carrots from bookers (like you’d get at a Toby carvery) and the new potatoes were almost old ones they were huge and dry. The whole dish was extremely dry and bland. Dry white fish, with dry vegetables and dry potatoes. It was also served in a bowl which made eating the fish difficult- should have been on a flat plate. Whoever owns this restaurant needs to sit down and try this dish themselves or take it off the menu ASAP

We are locals and never visiting this place again. This is our second visit to this restaurant and the service was so slow each time. First time food took well over 1 hour and 30 minutes with only two other tables booked and my friends were very cross with the slow service. Then we came again which took well over an hour and for food to arrive after basic bread starter and restaurant not even busy. No communication from staff to relay any information. The manager was argumentative, very rude and very defensive and didn’t want to hear anything against his opinion plus he didn’t want the rest of the staff to hear our opinion so spoke to us outside and shut the door on them so they couldn’t speak out. I’m sorry for the staff who were great.

I booked this place last minute only because other recommended restaurants in the area were already booked and my expectations were quite low...instead the food was really good. We had the seafood marinier and it was delicious. The sauce was very balanced and the fish all locally sourced was fresh and tasty. Dont be fooled by the location the place is worth a visit. Very Good price/quality. Service was very attentive also. Well done to all the staff.

Dined with my partner and our small dog in September. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, steak was great peppercorn sauce was out of this world! Price was super reasonable for the quality, chef clearly knows how to cook a steak. Personally I’d have preferred slightly better veg served with the steak but would I return? In a heart beat! Thanks for looking after us so well :)

Well just plain and simple from us. Wooooowwww what a lovely pleasant little gem of a place,after just having the smallest tub of Pringles on our flight to get here,we were told to checkout this place so after a short stroll we arrived and was greeted by lovely friendly staff,and it wasn’t long at all before we was greeted with a meal that was to die for! Honestly I had the 10oz sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection as was everything else and OMG the onion rings were that good we had to order another portion (lol) ordered a couple of eggs with it only to be told they had run out due to making a carrot cake but it wasn’t an issue as the lovely lady went out and came back with some and our meal was complete and we are now experiencing food coma and need to have a lay down. Thanks ever so much for having us,we also would like to praise the chefs as your food presentation and everything else that you guys do in that uncomfortable heat deserves equally the same praise and respect Thank you again and we wish you all the best for the future.

Very friendly and helpful staff looking after our table of 9 adults. Superb seafood selection cooked and presented beautifully, as well as locally sourced steaks cooked to perfection. We'd thoroughly recommend this venue.

I’m sorry I do not have very good photos as i devoured everything almost immediately! What a lovely place, it has such a chilled out atmosphere, with fairy lights on the ceiling and a little hatch window to the kitchen, where u can observe the chefs. Just what I needed when I was craving a peaceful meal out. The service was great from the start to the end and the seafood was fresh and the addition of the spicy sausage in the mussels was lovely. Would definitely come to this local place if I visit Newquay again soon!

What a fantastic find, we booked this restaurant for our last night when down on holiday for the last week of the summer holidays with the kids. The food was incredible & the staff very attentive! All the food was fresh & the deserts homemade. Highly recommend, its shame it is a 7 hour drive from home, the seafood was amazing. Will definitely visit again if we book a holiday down this part of the country again.

Best seafood restaurant offering fresh seafood dishes with reasonable pricing Tried their Trio of fish (lemon sole, cod and hake) which was very well-cooked and not overly seasoned A very friendly and welcoming service overall Highly recommended

Simple menu is always a good indicator that’s ingredients are fresh - the food was excellent, service friendly and attentive. Only thing I would say is they could probably stretch themselves to a higher standard with the dessert offering, they weren’t bad but just not line with quality of the starters and mains. Bizarrely no puddings on the kids menu

During our week-long holiday in Cornwall, dinner at Butchers Bistro was the best thing we experienced there. Service: Fast, attentive, friendly and helpful. Food: good selection, normal waiting time, good portion size and above all: very tasty. I highly recommend Butchers Bistro!

Was very unwelcoming and unfriendly. Seemed like this was because we were tourists and we was only trying to go for our first date night in well over 6 months. I wouldn’t recommend trying to go here if you are not from Newquay as when you open your mouth to try get a table they look at you funny. Very disappointing and very poor service.

Good atmosphere, really attentive staff, good food although not the biggest portions but made up by being really flavoursome. Would we go back, yes especially with the great view out onto the harbour through the floor to ceiling glass wall.
