Restaurants · Newquay
A quiet village setting with several separate seating areas means you're not squeezed in with a pram, and the beer garden is the real draw — plenty of space for children to run about without anyone minding. Food comes out well above pub standard: the beef-shin lasagne gets genuine raves, as does the sticky toffee pudding, and portions are homemade and reasonably priced for what you get. The staff are patient and unhurried with young children, which matters when a meal drags. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan and vegetarian options, and loads of free parking. The toilets are spotless, which parents notice. Dogs are welcome too. Worth booking for weekend evenings and half-term, when it fills up — one family called a Wednesday evening visit "exceptional".
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.
A farmhouse gastropub near Newquay with a garden, chicken coop and free parking — smart food, kind staff, worth booking.
