The New Quay Inn in Torbay - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We come to the Brixham every year, we stumbled across here on a walk last week and decided to pop in. So glad we did. We were given the warmest welcome possible, excellent choice of beers, the regulars in there were extremely friendly and just a general really nice and cosy atmosphere in there. We ended up visiting another twice whilst on holiday and reccomended it to friends for when they visit as well. Cannot wait to go back in the winter!

Warm welcoming traditional pub. Attentive staff, well staffed too. Fabulous choice of ales, lagers and wines. At the foot of our holiday cottage too, I would be delighted if this was my local boozer 🍻

The reviews for this pub were great so we thought we'd have dinner there. Unfortunately they don't serve food! No idea when they stopped.

Great place for drinks, food looked good but we had already eaten! Bar is lovely with friendly and efficient staff, great atmosphere. Cocktails were fabulous as was the mulled wine. Will definitely return and next time eat here. Lovely Inn to add to our favourite places to visit in Brixham.

The bar was comfortable and warm and staff were welcoming. We enjoyed it for pre and post dinner drinks after using nearby restaurants on the quay.

Visited for drinks on a few occasions and the bar staff were really friendly. The pub was cosy with the log fires on too. Enjoyable pub.

Best pub in Brixham since being taken over by the lovely Steve King. We popped in on a horrible night in February and was surprised to find the pub really buzzing , great vibe , and friendly atmosphere . This is a cute traditional british pub, complete with candles and real fire, which I would certainly recommend. Dont be put off if full down stairs there are more seats upstairs. We cant wait to try their food. Do visit I am sure you will enjoy

The best service I have personally ever received. I was lucky enough to know the bar staffs name of the night I was visiting the pub. Eve and keelan amazing staff so friendly so opening. Will definitely be re visiting when we come back to Brixham in the summer

Great pub in Brixham, we first visited just after they opened in October and on our recent visit to Brixham we returned again. The pub is very friendly and has a lovely cosy atmosphere. They now have a good food menu which looked tasty but we ran out of time to try it. On our next visit we’ll definitely be stopping for some food as well as a drink or two! Highly recommend!

Great to see this pub now operating full opening hours under new management. You couldn't wish for a more warm & friendly welcome. Lovely relaxing atmosphere with log burners upstairs & downstairs. Ate here & agree with previous reviews the duo pie is really tasty as was the stroganoff.

We were first customers in to eat lunch from the new menu at this quaint bar today Can seriously recomend the Homemaid duo pies Steak,red wine & cauliflour cheese Chicken, Bacon , taragon sauce& cauliflour cheese Both served with veg Absolutely Fab Well Done Chef! Well Done Danni & staff It was a great experience Thankyou Guys ! Steve & Anita

Our new favourite pub in Brixham! My husband and I visited the New Quay Inn for the first time on this visit to Brixham, it was really lovely place to stop for a drink. Very cosy and just had a lovely feel to it, the staff were really lovely and friendly and we instantly felt very welcome. As regular visitors to this beautiful town the New Quay Inn will become one of our staples! Can’t wait to return!

Fabulous service and atmosphere Wonderful log burner and sells my favourite wine Beautiful room upstairs Danni is a joy!

Like this bar more now that it is under new management. Open pub hours at last. Good selection of beers and drinks. Will be able to visit more often now. Well done Danni and thanks for the warm welcome and an excellent pint or two of Proper Job

The New Quay Inn, which years ago was known as “the Hole in the Wall”, is a friendly pub just behind the harbour. Mixed clientele of locals (including fishermen with their maritime yarns) and visitors, an eclectic wine list and reasonable selection of ales, ciders and local gins. A friendly haunt with a warm welcome, for the solo visitor or small groups!

What a brilliant find!! Dog friendly and warm welcoming bar staff. To top it all off great background music. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Great atmosphere Great staff Great Night out Highly recomended Cannot wait for the food! Amazing! Had a great night Thankyou Danni & staff Steve & Anita

Very friendly bar staff and great atmosphere great surroundings and now open 7 days a week. Good luck to the new owners in their venture

Great to have this lovely atmospheric pub open 7 days a week again. Now child and dog friendly so the whole family can visit. Great well kept beer too. Looking forward to when food is available too

We ambled into the New Quay in the early evening for one drink and ended up staying for most of the night, its one of those places. The one where you just get comfy in the relaxed atmosphere, one of your favourite tunes comes on,...

Hidden away Gem sort of bar I wish there was where I live just a cosy local pub that's retains a wealth of character and employes lovely staff

Brilliant and welcoming, now under new ownership so all the bad behaviours have gone. Dog friendly, people friendly and back to opening every day!! Felt like everyone was being made to feel Welcome!

Beyond rude staff. I used to go when it was thr Holein the Wall, but it has clearly fallen on hard times. Bought their gin deck chair, which was OK, which is more than you can say about the service from the bar man, who...

Closed most of the time which in a busy period at the moment is a shame and disappointing. Ok beer but very overpriced the atmosphere is also very weird in there. And feel like you are being watched and judged by locals. Wouldn’t go in...

We were turned away from the pub with our dog after being told it was no longer dog friendly. However there were TWO dogs already inside. Obviously our faces did not fit! Terrible way to treat returning customers. When we queried why we weren’t allowed...

Spending a few days in Brixham. Agreed to meet friends who live here in New Quay Anchor. Opened door to a man being straight in our face, putting his hands on my 11 year old son and saying "no children's after 7:30pm" Now I appreciate...

Really lovely, quiet pub tucked away in a Brixham street. Great service and they even have their own Gin!

It's a shame as it is lovely atmosphere and lovely pub but not welcoming to non regulars and they are hardly open and don't do food anymore. Such a shame.

Popped in for a couple of pints after arriving in Brixham on a damp Sunday afternoon The owner was very friendly and took time to chat and gave us 2 stools at the bar rather than us having to sit in an empty lounge upstairs...

As this pub was not doing food we went in with our two grandchildren and it was very clean and welcoming. It was one of the very fee pubs in Brixham that would let children in which amazes me!! The grandkids are 13 and 7...

We just popped in for a drink as we'd had a big Sunday lunch that day. It felt very 'Covid safe' and we sat upstairs for a couple of drinks. Very good service and a lovely pub. They weren't serving food while we were there...

Felt very safe and clean and a lovely warm welcome. Great selection of gin and spirits and a lovely way to avoid the rain

Excellent socially distanced pub Great service, great beer and their own gin was to die for. Felt really homely even with the covid measures.

Great little pub. Friendly and welcoming. Only called in for a couple of drinks. Felt very relaxed, nice place to chill out.

What a brilliant place . Their own distilled Gin was amazing , with the Mediterranean tonic as suggested. They also have a good selection of wines and beers . Lovely warm ,friendly and welcoming owners . All COVID precautions are adhered to , so pay them a visit and enjoy !!!

Quality pub with great choice of ales. Their Deck Chair Gin is to die for! Treat yourself to all the flavours! COVID standards very high with all furniture wiped down after each customer. The barman is an asset to the pub, very friendly guy who makes you feel very welcome. Landlord takes time to talk to all customers to make them feel at home.

Me and the wife booked the new quay inn for Sunday lunch . The pub is over 2 levels, they have a Sunday lunch deal on for 3 courses which was great value , food was good drinks were spot on and the background music was great would definitely recommend,

Visited this Xmas and had the turkey Sunday lunch, the quality and selection of vegetables was great, friendly staff

We've been here a few times with a group of friends and been very pleased. Today there were 7 of us and we felt a little embarrassed about singing the praises. The atmosphere was lovely as usual but....the plates were Luke warm as was the food, very little gravey, veg over cooked, beef tough and we had to request extra gravey and the listed Yorkshire puds

Visited for lunch on a Sunday but it was fully booked. Although we could of had a table after 4pm and after looking online seems they would have stayed open longer to accommodate us which on reflection was amazing and great service. We stayed for a drink and had the best gin and tonic I have ever been served. Banana rum was fantastic too. From the minute you walk in the door of this place it felt completely relaxed,inviting and totally beautiful. The staff were superb and we will be back to try the food and next time remember to book.

What a great place only 5mins from where am staying, has a good feel about it, staff really friendly. The craft beers are 'spot on' a really good selection of wines, gins and other spirits. But you have to try the home brewed Gin. 'Deckchair' a very nice gin indeed. The Sunday lunch is very traditional and amazing a definate place to be it. Has a really strong local clientele who are equally friendly and chatty. If you're coming to Brixham you have to spend some time here.

Visited on a Sunday for a Roast and was very pleased we did. A very historic place going back years and years that serves great food. The roast Beef was cooked to perfection with all the trimmings too. A good generous platefull. Overall a nice and comforting place to eat with plenty of beer or ales to choose from too. Staff very friendly and do all they can to make a comforting stay. Thanks to all.

We visit the restaurant every time we visit Brixham. Every time the food exceeds our expectations. So tasty and fresh and the chips are the best I've ever tasted!! Highly recommended.

We had lunch there yesterday it was excellent. They spent 30 minutes talking about their gin operation which enthralled my wife who enjoyed a large glass and we bought a bottle. It was billed as a well kept secret which we agree on.

Very nice pub slightly of the beaten track, very welcoming, the restaurant is upstairs with a lovely bay window to watch the world go by. You can also eat downstairs in the bar. On both visits the food has been exceptional. The staff are friendly with a excellent sense of humour that adds to a wonderful evening.

My wife and I have drank and ate here for years, always whilst sailing in Brixham. However, we were this afternoon turned away based on a 19th century and inflexible policy.They are “kids free”. For context, our 6 month old has spent the past week living on our boat and has accompanied us to every pub we have wished to enter along the South Devon coast, with no issue at all. Apart from The New Quay, where we were refused entry to an otherwise empty pub, based on our sleeping baby being present.I have always been fond of this pub, and overlooked the often sluggish service; however we will from now on be observing their no kids policy and avoiding at all times, with or without children.

We did not have a reservation but were quickly shown an available table in the restaurant upstairs. Excellent food and drinks, and first class service. We also enjoyed drinks, and the music in the bar later. One of our best nights out in Brixham.

As always, a very friendly welcome, excellent food, drinks and wine. Locals favourite and ours. The pub makes its own gin called Deckchair which is a must.

.....with the exception of the young waiter. We were very impressed with this place previously but no more. Having booked well in advance the wait to be served was unacceptable. When we were finally asked for our orders, they had run out of what we wanted. The poor young waiter was doing his best to serve everyone and deal with complaints single handed and at no point did any of the staff from downstairs come to his assistance ( including the owner). This young man was really impressive as he never showed any frustration or anger but stayed customer focussed and polite. The food was mediocre and we won't be visiting again.

Pirates aside this is a fantastic place to visit , drink and eat. Situated just behind the quay it offers a friendly welcome, some great beers, with a well kept cellur and also they brew their own Gin next door, which is very nice. Staff very polite, nothing to much trouble, has a lovely atmosphere. The Sunday Roast is a must, everything is cooked really well from the fresh vegtables to meat, have been several times here and not dissaapointed on any occassion, will definately be going again when i go back.

Visited again with friends and were not disappointed. Yet again food was delicious! Staff were friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Can not recommend enough!! Thank you

Very welcoming the waiting staff were superb and so friendly. There was a great food choice and the food was very tasty, lovely and big portions. There was music in the background and a great atmosphere.A very cosy place. Highly recommended.

We had been here a few years ago to find this lovely pub, but after having returned this Easter, we found that it was not the same. The service was really good, the waiter was lovely. The overall atmosphere was also nice. The food however was not good. My curry was not tasty, and my mothers braised steak was the same. The Steak, Ale and Mushroom Pie on the other hand was lovely. Not sure if i will return here again.

Another yummy meal, we were lucky enough to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant. Love the atmosphere, cosy real fire, friendly staff, a proper pub with above pubgrub- standard food. Not a huge choice but that’s because it is cooked to order from fresh ingredients.

Good old traditional Sunday lunch, cooked just as you like it. Friendly staff where nothing is too much trouble and without question value for money. Our first visit, do glad we found it, we are coming back.

Fantastic food very freindly staff & owners very relaxing .Food excellent we had Sunday lunch because we were waiting a while ( which was fine by us we were enjoying the atmosphere) the owner brought us a drink which was really a nice jester thank you . We will be back good luck to you both you have a lovely little inn loved it .

Head good things so thought we would give it a go. No Regrets. Brilliant meal. Great value. Will be going again. Best roast I’ve had in the Torbay. Highly Recommend.

Quiet Friday night in Brigham and found this great little place. Excellent tasty food served in a pleasant ambience with friendly staff - good value for money and we'll worth a visit

Popped in on a very chilly Sunday afternoon, log burner roaring away in the bar, lovely atmosphere. We decided to stay for lunch and were not disappointed, lovely roast beef fresh veggies, home made Yorkshire’s, mash and roasties! I’m not normally a fan of pub Sunday roasts but would definitely recommend this lovely place, the guys serving were fab too!

Another lovely evening, another tasty meal, just love this place. Locals and visitors mix and match, a friendly pub with great staff and a great atmosphere.

Excellent 5 course meal upstairs above the bar area in cosy small restaurant. Well balanced and good presentation. Friendly helpful staff.

A group of us dined here last November. It was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Nice ambience, friendly staff and the food was delicious. We are looking forward to going back.

Amazing food wonderful atmosphere always a pleasure to visit. Everyone always so welcoming. Immaculately clean.

This restaurant was recommended by the Shoalstone B&B; in brixham Great cosy yet modern pub restaurant.... very good service...nothing too much trouble The food was superb Will definately go there again Thankyou to the great staff

What a find! Hospitality, service and food absolutely fabulous. Great home cooking at reasonable prices. We only wish that we had found this gem before now. Highly recommended.

Everything about our experience here was great. Welcome was great, drinks were great and food exceptionally great. Would definitely recommend

You kind of fall into this place through a stable door then the wow factor hits you. Lovely ambience, professional service, excellent food. Downstairs the decor is tasteful - a log burner, pew seating, a hymn board & other curios. Upstairs an intimate restaurant, and I give 10/10 for the loos! It's always a pleasure to come here.

Always a warm welcome even though we don't frequent that frequently, interesting chat about gins including a taste or two of one they weren't sure about.

We ate here twice during our weeks stay in Brixham, as we enjoyed our Sunday lunch so much, we returned to sample the evening menu.

We’ve been meaning to try this place for a while on the back of recommendations. We weren’t disappointed. Lovely cosy bar area downstairs. Lots of choices of drinks, great gin range with premium mixers too. Very friendly and welcoming team. I presume they are the owners. Lovely small dining area upstairs. All very nicely presented. Lovely food at a very good price for the quality. Make sure you book ahead!

First visit here and was very impressed. Decor and atmosphere was cosy and very welcoming. Food was delicious. Chips were particularly fantastic. Would definitely recommend and we will be back for more! Need to book as popular. Lovely little pub too if you just want a drink. Look forward to going back.

Visiting or staying near Brixham? If you want to eat at the New Quay, you should probably book early, especially in the holiday season. The menu is quite varied and the food is enjoyable,a level above 'pub grub'. It has a friendly, old fashioned, pub-like atmosphere and the service is efficient and

Could not fault a thing. Food wonderful home cooked and high quality. Extremely clean and welcoming. Love visiting this this establishment. Matt & Andy could not make you feel more welcome.

Felt full and sick on leaving so it must have been good. Lovely vanilla ice cream in particular. I had a sundae with all the trimmings

Enjoyed another lovely evening at the New Quay, the beer, wine and spirit selection are second to none, it's a real pub with great staff and fabulous food. Not a huge menu because everything is fresh, the veggies are delicious, cooked to perfection. Thoroughly recommend this pub to locals and visitors alike.

If you're going to Brixham you must visit this restaurant , it's a first class restaurant with fantastic quality food, they accommodate dogs in the bar area downstairs but not in the restaurant upstairs. The staff are very friendly with excellent service, very reasonable prices there was plenty meat on our plates very supple it melted in your mouth, a large selection of beers and gins, I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will be definitely visiting again next time in Brixham, I've visited many restaurants here in my time and would say this is the best meal I've had in Brixham

Found this little gem hidden away in Brixham on the first night of a few days away with my partner. The beer selection is great which kept him happy and there's a fantastic selection of spirits and wines which kept me more than content. We also booked in for Sunday lunch which was great too. The roasted vegetables were to die for and the meat was very tasty.

The New Quay Inn is a fantastic place to unwind. Excellent selection of spirits with a large number of gins. The beer choices are very good and their pints are fresh and crisp.

If you’re in Brixham on a Sunday you have to do the traditional and have Sunday lunch here, no bookings taken after 2.00pm so make sure you book before that, great food and great staff, what more could you ask for, we we’re seated at a rather small table for 2 however, with no prompting from us, before the food came out we were asked if we’d like a bigger table as one came available, you couldn’t ask for better service !!

Just dropped in when visiting Brixham for an early evening winter meal and pint.

We prefer to eat in the bar if it's just the two of us, it's sometimes possible to reserve a table for early evening and this was the case on this visit. Lovely pub atmosphere, great background music and delicious food with good service, what more could you ask for on a chilly Friday evening?

Great venue and staff were superb the beef and pork dinners were very tasty and portions very generous, as I’m a fussy bugger and don’t like vegetables the staff were very accommodating and gave me extra Yorkshire puds and roast potatos. Overall a great pub will visit in the summer when warmer.

Visited for a meal, very slow in taking our order, had both the chicken and veg curries, both had little content. The veg curry only had beans as the veg. Every one else seemed to be having a pie. Which looked much better. Next time we need to allow more time to be served and at least 20 to 30 mins for pies to be cooked as stated in menu. The bar area has a better atmosphere than the restaurant.

This was the most unwelcome visit I’ve ever received when entering a pub. The man behind the bar clearly didn’t want us using his last vacant table!!! Maybe be as we weren’t locals ??!!

Finally - after three years - had a meal here (Sunday lunch) and I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. £19 for three courses: yes, you can get a “roast” cheaper in umpteen places, but not cooked and presented with such care and attention and skill and charm.

Visited the New Quay Inn last Saturday evening and sampled the Hunter's Chicken with barbecue sauce, one of my favourite dishes. I have to say, without reservation, it was the best Hunter's Chicken I have yet tasted, with a good portion of leanest back bacon. Some people serve streaky but not here I'm glad to say. Their new Australian Shiraz is also very commendable.

Stayed for a week in Brixham and wish we had found this place earlier...amazing food, first class service...well recommended

Very friendly, polite and welcoming staff. Very cosy pub with further seating upstairs. Fresh food would recommend the hunters chicken very tender and a generous portion of chips.

Tried this restaurant Ona Wednesday evening,booking is advisable we were seated upstairs which was small but nicely laid out. The staff were very friendly and polite. The food was excellent, we had the hunters chicken, cottage pie and I had one of the homemade steak and mushroom pies. All were excellent my only criticism of the steak pie would be a bit more filling and less gravy. Overall worth a visit.

Such a warm atmosphere, plenty of choice of ales and spirits and absolutely scrummy food. We like to eat in the bar if there's just the two of us, although Matt always says he can't promise this if busy, so far we have struck lucky. Proper home cooked style delicious food every time. Only open from Wednesdays for food, no lunchtimes, but would recommend it for evening meal or Sunday lunch.

This pub sits in a corner of the harbour. It is quite small but friendly and the food is great. It's probably best to book although we managed to get a table after a short wait.

We have been trying to try this restaurant for some time but we never managed to match our availability with its opening times. However we finally managed to try it out.

The food is always wonderful and Mat and Andy have a warm welcoming establishment which is always a pleasure to visit.

Meal yesterday lunchtime , they were busy but waited 1 1/4 hours for our meal . The starler " prawn bombs " ( very small ) were like bullets ,! Big mistake choosing those , think there were ? 6 with a dab of chilli sauce and bunch of rocket .....surely the chef could see they were hard , in fact I ended eating them with my fingers as I couldn't get my fork in ,( sent one flying in an effort to use my fork ) The roast was lovely but veg very greasy and overcooked , there were three of us having a roast , would have been nice to have had enough veg .... and a dish of veg for each of us . We have eaten here very many times but THIS time we're very disappointed , never had cause to complain before . I am sure this was a "one off " and won't put us off coming back , when visitors have gone .!

Hadn't been in for a few weeks, great to find it's still a great pub with fabulous food. Matt, Andy and the other staff are always so welcoming and helpful. We shared a starter of prawn bombs which were a bit odd to look at but so tasty. Mains were scampi and the steak pie, both truly scrumptious. Hubby even succumbed to desert of choc icecream with grand marnier liqueur. Service and attention faultless as usual. A great place to have a meal or just a couple of drinks.

Overpriced, average food that was very bland. Rock solid veg. Wouldn't eat here again or recommend. Lovely place for a drink before eating elsewhere

On a Friday evening this was a lively yet relaxed pub. The food was very nice and good value. The bar staff were very friendly.

well appointed pub restaurant.good atmosphere service fine.food awful.fish cake starter cold and no filling!steak pie fine but boiled potatoes,boiled cauliflower and yes boiled carrots.what a shame

My Son mother and myself visited for Sunday lunch. I had read the brilliant reviews so I was really looking forward to my meal.We had starters which were served with bread we were not offered butter we had to later ask for it. Three roast beef dinners, the meat was cooked beautifully slightly pink however only 1 slice and served on a potion of mashed potato which initially gave the impression that you had quite a generous portion. Roast potatoes had clearly been pre cooked as were the parsnips and were joust warm.four cauliflower florets and the same quantity of broccoli, some sliced carrots and about 6 French beans 1 quite tasty Yorkshire pudding and gravy which was also quite tasty.We weren't offered any sauces we had to ask for this when we managed to attract the attention of the young man who was waiting on.This came in a small pot only one portion for three people and we were given a small plastic spoon with this. Deserts were ok nothing really to write home about. It is a lovely little pub with a very quaint dining area upstairs.Such a shame I don't feel able to recommend it to anyone.I will add we were asked if everything was ok and I did reply that the food could have been hotter.We were not given the option of it being put right. Most disappointed.The price tag of I think £18.50 per head would have been ok if the food had been hot and reheated potatoes and parsnip.

We went here today for a lovely Sunday lunch after reading reviews on this site.We rang first to check if they are dog friendly and they said it's no problem in the bar downstairs.Gotta say it was a lovely meal, three courses for £18.95 so reasonable too.They provide extra vegetables for our 2 cocker spaniels ( they love a Sunday dinner )for only £1.50.Good ambiance, nice environment and lovely friendly staff.Would definitely go back again !!
