I took my family to this restaurant last night. Staff were very pleasant and restaurant looked great. All was going well until my son’s rib eye was served. The medium rare was well done. As was mine. My wife’s duck curry was served lukewarm. Both were returned. I would have expected that all 4 meals be returned in order that they could be re served hot and we could eat together. At the end, the manager proactively offered free deserts and tea coffee. My kids had 2 deserts, but my wife and I declined. The actual food was good but the £170 experience was a waste of money as 2 of us ate at a time. My son is coming to university here and i thought this could be come a regular place to visit, but honestly when a restaurant can’t cook a steak correctly or serve warm food that’s a major issue.

We had our anniversary dinner at the atrium, and it left us underwhelmed. We had a taxi booked to take us to the hotel but they arrived late to collect us, it was completely out of our control. Out of courtesy, we called ahead to say we would be 10-15 mins late, to which the receptionist replied we would probably miss our first couple of courses. For starters, the timing of that doesn't work out, but equally, it sets the tone for how this hotel treats its customers. We objected and talked to a manager who said they'd do the best to accommodate us being 10 mins late. Jeez, thanks. The kitchen must be so overworked we're grateful. We arrived and the receptionist asked if she could take our coats, it wasn't until the end of dinner when I went to the loo I saw that our coats hadn't been put away safely they were just put on a peg in the main thoroughfare. Had I known that I'd have kept it safely with me. We went to the atrium dining room to see 6 inward facing tables. We were the 5th to be seated. The room itself has very corporate decor, a few flipcharts and red marker pens wouldn't have looked out of place. The wine list is small and tops at £120 a bottle, unless there was another list we were unaware of. Our white burgundy was served in red wine glasses. We noticed that the folks at the next table had their white in white wine glasses. The 6th table of guests arrived and then food service started. For each course several wait staff queued up with dishes for all tables and then the one waiter that was allowed to interact with customers deposited them on the tables and then stood at the front of the class, I mean dining room, and announced to us all what the dishes were. A few courses in I found this batch processing of dinner to be tiresome as we had to wait for others to get their food, have swapped dishes explained privately and then he would address the room before we could eat - meaning our food was getting cold. The pace of dinner was therefore dependent on the slowest diner before the plates were cleared and the next course could begin. If someone went to the loo the service didn't wait and the food was delivered and announced without them - always hallmarks of high end dining. Cutlery wasn't laid it was plonked on the table for diners to set themselves. Any requests of the waiter were met with comments of why he was busy and we had to wait. When people part with their hard earned cash they want to feel special and appreciated. Tone is usually set at the top, which is where the inflexibility and batch approach to dinner must come from. I dont particularly like being shunted through a dinner experience en masse. Its a shame as the service detracted from the food, which was good but not special enough that I should be expected to experience it like a coach load of punters. My sympathies to the chef, i can only imagine the hardship that it is to cater for 12 covers in an entire evening, When dining out, you always remember how the place made you feel, and lord of the mayor's left us feeling meh. Maybe communal dining for £450 a pop just isn't for us.

Despite using their own email contact form to book I had no reply. On checking the actual premises it would appear this establishment is closed despite their web site saying the opposite. There is a 'lease for sale' notice in the window . Sadly the demise of a good Newquay restaurant

If I could give more stars if it would let me. We have stayed here a few times now, this time was different for us as we brought along our 4 month old. Our stay was made perfect as the staff couldn’t of been any more accommodating to us, we can’t wait to come back soon, the food absolutely perfect and our room we had this time is now our new favourite! We thought the room yealm was which is lovely! But we now have a new one. Thank you for making our weekend perfect ❤️

I write this review with a heavy heart as this bar used to be lovely. I have no idea what has happened recently but the place is a total mess! I must be clear in my review and say that on the last few occasions I have only got as far as the door - the mess inside is just too much. Take tonight for example, dirty ashtrays outside, a bar filled with filthy glasses even though it was empty, boxes of goodness knows what piled high and someone’s workstation set up making the whole place look like a teenager’s bedroom. Now this place has always had quirky decor, but nothing like this. It is such a shame. I read that the new owners had great plans for the bar. It’s so disappointing that they have let it get in such a state. There is just no excuse for it.

Had a really disappointing experience at this cafe. The service was incredibly slow from the moment we walked in. We had to wait for our coffee for ~20 minutes, and it only arrived after our food was already served. Asked if could move to another table, and the waiter said they would check but never came back with an answer.

For years I have come to Perranporth with my family and every single time I have avoided biting food from the Watering Hole, for some weird reason presuming it wouldn’t be very good. Well, how wrong was I! Amazing fish and chips, could actually be the best I’ve ever had. If, like me, you’re a bit of a snob about food, don’t judge a book by its cover. What do I mean by that? Well, because it’s always so busy in the summer I had presumed the food couldn’t be great - I was imagining Weatherspoons ping and ding. Lesson learnt. The food was just brilliant. Homemade tartar sauce. Light and crispy batter on the fish, hot fresh, no soggy bottom! Chips also fresh and a generous portion too. I also had a chocolate which was also quality. Perfect after a long dog walk. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sure the floor is a bit sandy, it’s on the beach and welcomes dogs, which for us was another winning feature. So, what have I learnt today? When we go to Perranporth, lunch at the Watering Hole is a must.

On holiday for a few days. Nice enough place. Below average meal. Fish and chips- fish over cooked. Houmous was horrible never had bad houmus, So didn’t eat it. ( told them it wasn’t very nice but didn’t take it off the bill) Chorizo tapas was beautiful. Mussels for tapas was plentiful but too salty. Ravioli was lovely. Had lemon tart and cherry cheesecake for deserts both lovely flavours but the lemon tart had soft pastry on the bottom. Cherry ice cream was fantastic. I feel that if you choose the right thing , you will enjoy your evening

Wow £74 for lunch for 2. £26 for 2 tiny focaccia crab “sandwiches “ using the cheap brown crab meat rather then toe proper white meat. £22 for4 glasses of inexpensive wine and the to add insult a compulsory 10% service charge. Such a shame, it used to be such a nice place to meat and eat
