The most outstanding fish restaurant I have been too in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Wonderful and kind staff. The monk fish and the tacos are just incredible as was the wine of the month from scilly. A perfect match

I dropped by at 17.00 on a Wednesday and asked it they had a table for one for 'now' which they did. I imagine this is a busy spot, and could see that reservations later in the evening were hard to come by. My first impressions... non-fussy (casual) but proper, but with an overwhelming smell of garlic. I ordered moules mariniere as a starter and crab and tiger prawn linguine, washed down with their recommended wine of the week. Plus a £5 bottle of still water! All in for £55 plus tip. I can't fault the quality of the ingredients, with the mussels and prawns being firm and fresh. I guess this explains the higher prices. However, I feel the excessive use of garlic cheapened the quality of the dishes. Sometimes less is more. Value for money? Maybe, based on location, service and quality of the ingredients. However, this is by no means a cheap eat, with drinks prices at the higher end of acceptable.

A hidden gem in Fistral beach bar which is worth every penny of the slightly higher price tag. The menu is varied and a fish/seafood lover’s favourite with great specials too. The mussels were tasty, plump and the sauce was delicious. The sea bass was equally brilliant with the fennel purée tying the whole dish together. My partner had the prawn and crab linguine which was fresh, delicious and perfectly cooked - portion of crab in linguine’s is typically an issue but not here! The portion sizes were generous and as such we unfortunately missed out on dessert but saw other diners enjoying a variety of sweet treats which looked great. Would 100% recommend and will go again next time we’re in Newquay

This place is a little piece of magic. The food is absolutely delicious; there are so many mouthwatering options it was difficult to choose . I had the fresh crab with asparagus- served beautifully and so tasty. For mains I had the muscles - sweet and juicy served with bread to enjoy the sauce. Ice cream to finish . The staff were friendly and helpful. Gutted I was leaving Newquay the following day or I'd have been back for more.Oh - and then there s the view ! Thanks all and congratulations on a fantastic team .

My wife and I still talk about the meal we had here years ago! The restaurant is intimate and cozy. The menu seems to have changed, or maybe it was a special, but I remember having a lobster in a crab bisque which was possible the best seafood meal I've had in the UK. It was so full of flavour and so umami tasting that I enquired how it was made. The chef was friendly and the staff were polite. I would definitely go back.

My partner and I had the wonderful privilege of dining at our new favourite spot in Newquay, not just once BUT TWICE! Tucked away on a world famous beach in Newquay - The Fish House is a triumph of precision, freshness, and culinary foresight. From the moment you enter, there is an unmistakable sense of care and craftsmanship. Every fillet, shellfish, and crustacean is meticulously displayed, each one a testament to the shop’s uncompromising commitment to quality. We will definitely be back in support of Paul and the incredible team. Thank you for feeling us with such passion and dedication to freshness. Till we ‘sea’ you again, all the best!

It was a fantastic place to find on our holiday in Cornwall. The staff, who were excellent, were not only very friendly and helpful but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Their guidance was invaluable as there were so many good things on the menu, I had trouble deciding what to have for our lunch. The starter of Crispy pepper squid was wonderfully cooked and had a fantastic zing, thanks to the Asian spices. The main dish was Korean fried monkfish, and it was cooked perfectly! The refreshing Asian noodle salad was a great accompaniment to the fish. They say Hot & Spicy on the menu, but I found it mild (personal spice levels). It was an excellent meal and what's more, the restaurant is super dog-friendly! This inclusivity added to the charm of the place. The location, with its view of the surfers, was a true gem of Newquay.

A very disappointing experience. I booked a table for my wife and myself three weeks in advance. It was to be a special meal for my wife’s 70th Birthday. I asked for a table with a sea view by the window. We were really looking forward to a seafood platter as it is my wife’s favourite. A few days beforehand I popped in to the restaurant to make sure that the platter was gluten free as my wife is celiac. I was assured that this was no problem for the chef. On the day we arrived for the meal we were shown to a table on the second row back from the window even though there was a spare window table. Which was taken 30 minutes later by a single gentleman. Then to our great disappointment we were told that the seafood platter was not gluten free and the chef could do nothing to alter this. This suggests to me that the seafood is not fresh but frozen. We spoke to the Manager who apologised (for ruining my wife’s evening she had been looking forward to for several weeks) and said she would speak to the owner. If you are planning a special celebration meal I certainly would not recommend the Fish house restaurant.

A lovely local fish restaurant with Spanish influences and great views across Fistral Beach. Its a small and intimate place with a nice atmosphere and a great team making you feel welcome and attended to. We booked a couple of days in advance after spotting on tripadvisor and went for the last day of our break and it was the best food of our holiday and in fact, of the year. Delicious starters, fabulous Hake and Monkfish main dishes with an exquisite sticky toffee pudding to finish. All wrapped up with some delicious Semillon wine. Highly recommended

I don't think the quality nor taste of the food can be bettered, certainly not in Newquay. A real treat dinner out with stunning views and whilst a very 'up market' restaurant, not one hint of feeling unwelcome or uncomfortable - £95 for two huge sharing platters and a bottle of wine was very good value for money in my opinion.

I told the chef it was the best monkfish ever but in reality I think it was the best fish dish I’ve had in my life (I had one of the specials - Tandoori monkfish with yogurt, cucumber salad with chilli, Dahl and jasmine rice with crispy onions). Absolutely delicious! My husband had the prawn curry from the set menu and was equally delighted. The seasoning of their dishes is perfect resulting in a dance of flavours in your mouth. I advise you book in advance as we didn’t and we almost left Newquay without having this amazing experience. Definitely a must now every time we visit. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, thank you very much!

Wow, easily top 5 seafood restaurants in Cornwall. l visited on Monday evening 16/9/2024 with my wife and 14 month old daughter. Front of house Attention to detail was spot on even though the restaurant was full ,tables were setup flawlessly, glasses perfectly clean with no water marks or smells from the dish washer. Service was quick without making you feel rushed. Staff were extremely polite and professional and even when busy, tried their best to interact with the guests and make them feel relaxed and very welcome, which I loved. My wife ordered the mussels for her starter which came with warm focaccia. Extremely fresh and perfectly cooked, you could tell just from the aroma of the mussels that the chef who made them new what he was doing don't even get me started on the bread. For me I had the Indian fish curry for starter and the Sri Lankan prawn curry as a main. I thought, let me see where there Curries will take me having worked at Taj London for 3+ years running their fine dining Indian restaurant there at the time and i was very pleased especially with the freshly grated coconut. it really helps the curry along so much more than using just a paste. Every element of both dishes were very thought out and attention to detail was put in to make it all work and come together wonderfully . My wife's main was the pan fried sea bass and that's when I turned to her and said that: from the ground up it's very important to do your best with every ingredient you've been given, no matter how good a head chef is, knowledge and skills, at the end of the day it's when every element of the team every part cares and tries to produce perfection that you truly have something. that is the definition of that dish so simple but perfectly done in every way from the potatoes to the crispy skin on the sea bass, beautiful. I could go on and on how good everything was. Overall the whole experience front of house to the back 10/10 Now me and my wife have been working in the hospitality industry for nearly 18 years me as a chef in the top 3 restaurants in the world as well as 5* hotels, private member's clubs and Michelin star restaurants and my wife the F&B manager of top 5* hotels and Michelin star restaurants. Sadly, I tried to book another dinner again for the end of that week but no availability and so my vacation came to an end Big thanks to the whole team

One of my favourite meals I’ve ever had. From starters through to the dessert it was all absolutely delicious. Visited here myself and was never rushed to order or to leave, allowed to sit and have some wine after the meal too and was never overly bothered by the staff at any point. The starter especially, the Korean monkfish, was incredible and would thoroughly recommend. The restaurant is maybe a bit above average in terms of price but it was all absolutely worth it and the next time I’m visiting Cornwall I’ll be sure to come back again.

A great shame, this used to be my favourite place in the UK for seafood but has unfortunately gone downhill recently based on my recent visit. The seafood sharing platter for starters used to be absolutely incredible, with loads of focaccia, prawns covered in cinnamon sugar, crab cakes, etc. Now it is pretty much 80% calamari, and with only two slices of focaccia so you have to order another side of this. For more than the price of a main you can't help but feel hard done by, as although the calamari is nice it's undoubtedly a cheaper option to bulk out the dish. I had the fish curry for mains. The prawn curry I had previously was amazing, bursting with flavour. However the fish curry was disappointingly bland and lacking in spice or distinctive flavour. The prawn linguini was too oily and not as good as Moules & Co in town. The hake was a bit overdone/chewy and not very exciting. We passed on desserts as they looked overpriced (£12 for a sundae). Make no doubt about it, I absolutely loved this place, it was a highlight of coming to Newquay. If it was reasonably priced it would be a great restaurant. However for an expensive meal you really expect something special, and unfortunately the Fish House doesn't deliver that any more.

It has lovely food and despite liking the service up until the end of the meal , we didn’t appreciate the comment at the end of the meal, to leave the table by a certain time when it was very clear that my husband would have finished his beer in time to clear the table by the allotted time. It was just unnecessary and affected our enjoyment. 2.5 hours are enough for us as a family to eat but the facts are , my family having to visit the public toilets because yours were out of order and the slow delivery of courses = our late finish. We ate dinner the following day and finished 3 courses in under 2hours. You cannot argue the need for time to cook a good meal and in the same breath expect a family with young kids to be out quickly. We appreciated your move of our table the to outside, but we did not need to be told when to leave, just bring the bill. This is what ruined our experience. This is our experience and this is our review, but we’d appreciate not having the restaurant manager lying on tripadvisor and claiming I had said I had not enjoyed my day. Don’t add your interpretation. I understand you want to defend your business , but be honest. Don’t lie to add bias to your response. Me commenting on my kids bickering before I came in the door does not equal a bad day. This is daily mum life 🤷🏻♀️. Don’t be one of those women, also acknowledge, you were no where to be seen when this interaction that we didn’t appreciate happened with your staff. If you did witness this from afar, as someone with such a voice for the Fish House, where were you?!! Stick to the things you have witnessed and keep to the facts, and people visiting will also make their own mind up. It’s worth noting before this time we have rated the Fish House as 5 stars, but this was not our experience this time.

Food, cocktails, staff and location are all 10/10. One of those restaurants that isn’t trying to be too fancy and fussy with their food, they just cook really good quality food and keep it interesting with different types of dishes. Had a gin bomb cocktail to start which had blood orange sorbet inside, so so good. Food highlights were the Bajan hake, skewered monkfish, roasted hake and prawn linguine.

We booked ages ago before our holiday. On a couple of occasions I contacted them and got a quick response. Six of us, and we had two Roasted Hotshells plus a Lobster. Also, a tempura cod stir fry. Absolutely stunning food, service and also a window table with that great view over fistral beach. Our server was really attentive and helpful putting the two hot shells and Lobster onto a single huge platter. It’s about as good a lunch as you could dream of and, in my view, great value for money. Gorgeous.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Queen’s Head in St Stephen, Cornwall, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The roast dinner was an absolute standout—perfectly cooked meat, tender and flavorful, paired with golden, crispy roast potatoes that were some of the best I’ve ever had. The homemade Yorkshire puddings were a delight, light and fluffy, and the generous helping of rich gravy tied it all together beautifully. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here, making it a proper Sunday treat. The atmosphere in the pub is just as impressive. It’s a charming, cozy spot with a warm, welcoming vibe—think crackling woodburners, friendly chatter from locals, and that quintessential Cornish village charm. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re a regular or just passing through. The beer garden and play area out back are lovely touches too, perfect for a sunny day. The staff truly elevate the whole experience. They’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel like valued guests. Service was spot-on—quick without feeling rushed—and they were happy to chat and offer recommendations. All in all, The Queen’s Head is a gem. The roast dinner alone is worth the visit, but the fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff make it a place I’ll be eager to return to. Highly recommend!
