The Cambrian Restaurant in Ceredigion

Lovely fresh food, able to cater for both vegetarian and gluten free. The chef came out to speak to us about our order and we felt looked after

We had a fantastic carvery the food was fantastic the staff were brilliant. The meats were cooked to perfection they just melted in your mouth.

The lambcutlets were cremated, chips sloppy instead of crisp, side salad was no more than a babyhand full of lettuce leaves with a quarter of a tomato. And this all for the shameless price of £ 23! Worst meal we ever had, don't waste your money here!

Food was good and tasty, but what was a birthday meal let down by them having lost our reservation with no appolgy. We had to wait over an hour only to be told we would have eat in the bar. Service erratic and hit and miss. Would not return.

Stayed at the Haven opposite and at first glance I though standard pub food and maybe a Guinness at best I was very very wrong fantastic cask ale which I may have had 1 too many off and the food was fantastic I didn’t expect from the outside that I would be getting really good Italian food. We both had pasta dishes and both were fantastic. Staff were also great and the pub was tradition and really pleasant

Absolutely delicious food. Very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely environment. Highly recommended. Called to ask if they were serving food and the barman read the menu to us over the phone. Very impressed.

Our experience of our meal , 3 steaks were ordered in our family meal , that were all asked to be cooked medium, 2 of the steaks in our party came cremated not how WE asked ,WE all asked medium , told the waitress who got the chef to come out , the chef was absolutely rude he came aggressively storming out and said it was medium , arguing it was a little charred , he was right we were wrong attitude, It was as tough as an old boot and burnt , he was so utterly rude and argumentative , he asked if we would eat it then snatched it away from us , and said order something else , at this point my child was really upset crying at the confrontation which the waitress and people could see !! and stormed away into the kitchen , no one came to retake the order so 2 of us sat with no food whilst they carried on serving and pottering around avoiding us as we sat there , no professionalism at all , at this point we decided not to order anything at all , just to let the others eat pay and get out of there the pricing of the menu doesn't reflect the surroundings needs updating and to learn customer service skills. The waiter was very nice about it all I felt really bad for her I could see she didn't want to handle it no one rectified the situation, no customer care the youngest waiter of them all apologised as we paid , shame the chef never handled it better he may learn something from the young waiter , 0 customer service and care , manners cost nothing , and perhaps should have had the proper ppe on and been wearing a hair net in the kitchen the length of your hair!! disgusted and disgraceful behavior, because you don't like what someone told you !! Don't recommend and will never be returning . Don't waste your money !!!

Lovely welcoming pub/hotel on our walk around Newquay. Hospitable hosts. Good Beer and Great Food. Not the run of the mill tourist fayre.

After a meal in the haven resort which was very poor we opted 8 of us to give the Cambrian a go traditional pub setting however the food was very good all fresh nothing microwaved here attentive staff chef actually came out to see us to see if we were all happy a very nice touched and thanked us for choosing his restaurant very busy with diners overall a great find well done Cambrian gang !

The Cambrian is situated on the main road into New Quay it’s a 20 min walk from the town but is also conveniently placed opposite the Haven holiday park & near numerous B&B’s. We stopped for a week in New Quay and visited here on a couple of occasions walking both times which was worth the walk for the food we had. We ate once and really enjoyed the food which was cooked fresh while we waited. We had our two Labradors with us and the bar area is dog friendly and our boys were made very welcome. The chef came to speak to us and told us about the specials before ordering which resulted in us ordering some of them. I ordered a flaming chorizo for starters which was a whole chorizo on a ceramic boat which was then lit in front of me and the flames cooked the chorizo as I waited which was a real nice touch of flair. My wife had the mussels which were fresh & delicious. For mains my wife had king prawn linguine she didn’t want too much fresh chilli & upon asking the chef toned down the amount he put in which was perfect. I had the chicken a la creme of which the sauce was really tasty. Washed down with some Welsh Black Dragon cider it was a very enjoyable meal & the chef came back to check that everything was good with our food. The service was very good, relaxed & friendly and we would definitely recommend it don’t miss this place just because it’s sat outside of the town centre.

The best roast carvery in town, eaten many times here before, evening meals are lovely, staff are great, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing service and wonderful tasty food. We came on the last night of our holiday which was a big mistake! We should have come much sooner! Our 10 year old thought it was the best tomato pasta he had ever eaten and he has tried a lot.

We always eat at the Cambrian when we're visiting New Quay, and our last visit was no different. The welcome is invariably warm; the staff are attentive, pleasant, and helpful. There have been occasions when my choice hasn't been available, but it's not a problem - there's always a good alternative and I've never been disappointed because the food is so deliciously flavoursome.

Had a lovely Anniversary meal here. Super food from Fernando , plus great service from Lisa. Will definitely be back!

The most beautiful grilled fish dish! Cooked to perfection,with a delicious dressing. This venue is not to be missed. Friendly staff too.

Staying nearby so called in for Sunday lunch. Very busy but the staff were really friendly and helpful. Lunch was spot on and plenty of it. A nice touch was the chef went round every table checking everyone was happy with their meals. Enjoyable lunch, would definitely recommend. Thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

We were staying at Quay West holiday park and decided to call in for a couple of pints, and whilst we there we booked a table for the following evening. Boy we are glad we had three lovely meals, the wife and I both had Chicken and our son had Spaghetti Carbonara all three of us cleared our plates; mmmmmm! Then we had our desserts, the wife had Homemade Crème Caramel which she told Fernando the chef it was the best she had tasted, I had the Homemade Tiramisu which was bloody handsome; and our son had the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream which was gorgeous. Fernando came around to every table and asked everyone if our meal was up to scratch and everybody in the restaurant said yes.

Two of our party had pulled pork which was very tasty but at least half the pork was fat. Carbonaa was was beautiful as was the child's portion of spaghetti and sauce (no meat or veg - which was £8.50 which was a bit expensive) the chicken pizziola was not wonderful, some of the chicken was crispy and the sauce was far too salty and had a bitter taste. We have been visiting the Cambrian for many years but iI don't think we will be back especially at the prices. The staff were very attentive.

Carvery was really tasty, with good selection of veg. Chef was both generous with meat and really engaged with customers. All staff serving were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Can’t wait to return.

Were stopping on a site 15 minute walk away was recommended her by Owen. The food is stunning the chef even came out to chat thats confidence in his cooking and the service is spot on as well.

The best mussels and vegetarian pasta I have ever eaten, I wish I lived local so I could eat here every week, staff were lovely, lovely atmosphere and amazing food!

The restaurant is opposite the Haven caravan park and didn't look particularly appealing from outside. Appearances can however be deceptive. The menu was predominately Italian with a great range of choice particularly for vegetarians. I had the king prawn linguine which was excellent and my wife had the Chicken in a masala sauce which she enjoyed. The service was both efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The chef came out of the kitchen to talk to customers and check everything was OK.

Booking was mixed up, they got numbers wrong. Carvery was limited on most things, not help yourself. A bit rushed as deserts came out slow and staff hurried us out for next sittings. Not a great experience. A shame as it used to be a good carvery.

Went here for my birthday 15th August 23 food was amazing I had streak my partner had sea bass lovely staff were friendly and even meet the chef definitely going go again when I'm next in nequay

We are staying close by on holiday and reading the reviews for this place decided to give it a try. We were pleased we did. We had a warm welcome and the service was very good. The food from the vegetarian and vegan menu was delicious - so tasty!

We have been here a week and this was hands down the best meal out all week. The service, the quality of the food, the atmosphere were all spot on. Could not have asked for a better way to end our holiday. Highly recommend to anyone in New Quay that they pay a visit to Rossinis at the Cambrian. We will certainly be returning

One of the most delicious meals we've had for a long time. Excellent food and great service. We were staying close by and had read good reviews. It definitely did not disappoint. The staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Food was amazing, cooked perfectly. Would recommend to anyone in area, service was fantastic also. 5*

Thank you for yet again another fantastic meal came for a late Father’s Day meal we had a lovely sunset meal outside it was very peaceful. Staff were excellent, the food was outstanding thank you

Have visited this family pub and restaurant many, many times over the years. Where do I start?Always a wonderful welcome off Steve and Gaynor and all their staff. It's the perfect place to visit alone or with the family to enjoy a quiet drink or a meal.The Sunday lunches are the best around, especially the Carvery if restrictions allow.As for the Cambrian breakfast, it is legendary! Sets you up for the day. But don't take my word for it...call in and give it a try. Tell them Gary sent you!

Visited this week, had a lovely meal, the food was delicious, very friendly service. All in all brilliant will return

Had a lovely meal in the Cambrian ,great price ,great service ,will definitely be going back . Clean place,new ladies toilets .

Included with the room, several of the breakfast choices -- particularly the smoked salmon! -- were terrific, filling and tasty

Food was excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful,dog friendly pub ,food menu had a great choice of different food.

We were away in New Quay for 4 nights and before we arrived we wanted to book a family dinner for our daughters 10th birthday. After a bit of searching we booked this restaurant for the birthday. It turned out to be very convenient as it was close to where we were staying. Made the booking and along came Tuesday. We had made the booking for 7pm and of course we arrived early. It was no problem we were informed that we could have a drink at the bar or go to our table, but might not be able to order our food till 7pm. We decided to go to our table where we were able to order drinks, these arrived promptly, we were then informed by our waitress that she would check with the kitchen to see if we could order our dinner. She came back and said we could, so we did. We ordered starters for all and these came out quickly and were well presented and tasted great. I had the mango and brie parcels, my wife that the prawn cocktail and the kids had garlic bread. These were devoured and then came the main meals. My wife had the chicken sizzler and I had the rump steak, both cooked to perfection and one thing I really liked about the meal is that the plates were hot and the food was piping hot as well. Cold plates and warm food is a pet hate of mine. While we were having our meal the owner [I think] came over and quietly said I believe it is a birthday and those the birthday girl like chocolate? I replied yes. After finishing our meal we were asked if we would like dessert we got the menu and I ordered a cheese cake. Out came my dessert and a slice of hot chocolate fudge cake for my daughter with a candle in it. It topped off a really lovely evening. We left there happy and full. We had a great evening with excellent service, lovely hot food and friendly staff. Thank You

having booked it over the internet we were very surprised at the level of service and hospitality the meal was superb and the setting was ideal our table overklooked the bay area giving good views while we dined

We were not disappointed with this place. Polite staff, great decor, and most importantly, great food. The staff used face masks and there was hand sanitizer for the customers. We had a 6 pm booking and sat by the window overlooking the Haven caravan park. I look forward to eating here the next time we stay in New Quay.

Cannot fault the place at all. Lovely friendly staff everything about this place well managed and thought out during the COVID precautions 1st meal was lovely haven’t been anywhere else for an evening meal. Never tasted steak like it just melted in your mouth, lasagne lovely, kids meals perfect, cannot say enough good things about this inn & restaurant cosy,comfortable. Perfect.

Excellent rump steak, it really melted in the mouth, with perfectly cooked chips and accompaniments. Warm chocolate fudge cake was to die for too! Very friendly service and Covid precautions well thought out, though having to have one of the doors open made it a bit chilly, but I will bring a pullover next time as there definitely is going to be a next time.

On our holidays booked in a table of 6! What can i say other than absolutely amazing food!!!! Staff really friendly and made sure you had everything you needed.Fast service all round couldn't have asked for more. First visit for us but if we return to new quay this will be the first place i will book.Thanks all

Enjoyed our meal here. Have been here a lot over the years and the menu has much improved. There was a good choice for all of us

What a turnaround from last time ,fantastic new attentive staff & food was excellent be back for the Scampi & chips . In a party of Four all loved our food great

sunday dinner was v/good you can have all 3 meats and plenty of veg extra gravey they could not do enough for us

My son and I really enjoyed our short stay here.The staff were welcoming and helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious and the location was ideal for us - peaceful and out of the immediate bustle of New Quay itself, yet within easy walking distance. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful food very tasty! Reasonably priced and great service, the owner is very friendly. We stayed here for b and b so also experienced the breakfast which was also very nice. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Newquay!

There was 7 of us in our group including my disabled sister. The staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.The food was really good and reasonably priced and the service was excellent. We're only in New Quay for 3 more days but we've already booked to come back and eat here at least one more time!If your ever in New Quay I wouldn't hesitate to recommend eating here.

This is the second time we have had Sunday lunch here and we have not been disappointed! Great service and fantastic food.

Great place good food superb customer service the garden is beautiful best in Newquay, family have been coming here for 30 years, the owners and staff work extremely hard the Cambrian makes our holiday! carry on what your doing it s perfect see you tonight for food drinks and a laugh our last night before we go home

We stayed over night in the Cambrian, they have a lovely building, very good food, great location and are extremely helpful. The room was great, very comfortable and we had to leave quite early in the morning so they very kindly had breakfast ready half an hour earlier than usual. Great restaurant and hotel, definitely would recommend.

Absalotly shocking treatment we arrived to a near empty restaurant, after been watched struggle through the bar with two pushchairs we took a seat at a table, after about 10mins of sitting looking at the menu someone shouted across the restaurant that they were fully booked and couldn't fit us in for over an hour n a half, despite the fact only two other tables were occupied.Firstly why were we not told on arrival it was fully booked, and why was it dreamed acceptable to shout across a room rather that coming to speak to us!There was no obvious waiting area to be seated, no reserved signs on any tables and nobody to check you in.There is absolutely no excuse for this sort of poor service and rude treatment.

Good home cooked food,large menu something for everyone be warm don’t open in a Monday food served from 4pm Be warn your need to book at weekend

The food is really lovely. Great variety and cooked perfectly. Highly recommended. Nice atmosphere. Staff friendly.

We were staying in the hotel and the weather wasn't great so we decided to eat in on our first night. The meal exceeded our expectations so we decided to eat in on the second night too and were, once again, not disappointed. We would definitely recommend eating here if you're in the vicinity. Really nice.

Fab fillet steak was amazing & Steve & Gaynor are fab & the lovely Derick Brenda & Callum always consistent & great family pub xxx

Spotted this was dog friendly so made our way over, we were told we can't eat in the restaurant with the dog only in the bar, no problem, only for information. We were told if we had booked we could have had the restaurant menu in the bar. Son had the monster bap and it was huge, wife had scampi and I had madras. Food was excellent, even the dog was treated to a couple of treats. Staff were friendly and helpful. Conservatory we sat in was nice and bright even on a dull dreary day. Recommended.
