Restaurants · Newquay
Tucked just back from the sand in Newquay, this is the kind of place holidaymakers stumble into and then talk about for the rest of the trip. The fish and chips are the draw — batter that's genuinely light and crisp, fresh fish, proper mushy peas — and the local mussels and Sunday hog roast get just as much love. It stays quiet enough outside peak times to hear each other across the table, which matters with a toddler, and the team are notably accommodating: sauces on the side, tomatoes left out, a water bowl for the dog without being asked. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking all help. Worth knowing: it's a treat rather than a cheap lunch (around £17 a head), breakfast stops at 10:30, and service can slow at the bill stage.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
