  “Great location, great views out onto Hayle beach. Outdoors seating is dog friendly. Whilst it's a Wetherspoons you can order through the My Haven app. Great value and you know exactly what the expect with a Wetherspoons.”

  “What can I say about the bluff inn. We arrived 22/08/26,it was jam packed. The staff were slow like zombies,que was massive and people pushing in. No control and after 1hr of waiting, we got to the bar for server to say half way through "I'm going for a fag" I thought customers were main priority. Asked to speak to the manager his excuse was. I have to care about my staff and we're under staffed. But they had about 20 people on and his attitude and demeanor was "pftttt" The food came out wrong,we complained and asked for what we ordered. Waited for an hour just ate our dinner because we never received it. I said to the manager I can see why it is how it is here with the attitude you have. (He's very stuck up and I couldn't be bothered to continue the conversation with him) NEVER AGAIN We always ate here before it was a weatherspoons and loved it there. But not any more sadly. The view is beautiful though if you sit out. (Even another customer ordered a burger with no mayo and it came with it. Lucky they didn't have an egg allergy) I'm sad as I loved coming here”

  “Absolutely stunning the view outside is absolutely beautiful probably the best spoons I've ever been too the beach is just a short walk away I'd definitely eat and drink here again. Location and atmosphere The Bluff Inn sits right above the dunes at Riviere Towans, giving it a more scenic setting than most Wetherspoons. It’s popular with holidaymakers, especially in summer, so expect a lively but not rowdy atmosphere. Inside is typical Spoons styling: functional, clean, and straightforward. Outside seating is the main draw when the weather is good. Food Food quality is standard Wetherspoon fare. Burgers, curries, mixed grills, and breakfasts are the most consistent options. Orders usually arrive quickly outside peak hours. During busy summer periods, wait times can increase, but the kitchen is generally reliable. Drinks Drinks are well‑priced with a rotating selection of guest ales. Cold drinks and coffees are refillable, which is useful if you’re staying nearby or visiting the beach. Service Service is efficient for a high‑footfall coastal Spoons. Staff are used to dealing with holiday crowds and tend to keep tables cleared. Ordering through the app is usually faster than queueing at the bar. Cleanliness The Bluff Inn is well maintained considering its beachside location. Floors and tables are kept tidy, and the toilets are generally in good condition. - Best times to visit — Early mornings and weekday afternoons are the quietest. - Avoiding peak crowds — Summer evenings and weekends get very busy due to holidaymakers. - Best seating — If the weather is good, the outdoor seating offers the best experience. Indoors, the back area is quieter. - Food reliability — Stick to core menu items: burgers, curries, all‑day brunch, and small plates. - Ordering tips — Use the app to avoid queues, especially during summer. - Parking advice — Parking at Riviere Towans can fill up quickly in peak season; arrive early if visiting the beach first. - Beach access — The pub is a short walk from the dunes; ideal for combining a meal with a beach visit. - Family suitability — It’s family‑friendly, with plenty of seating and predictable menu options.”

  “Absolutely phenomenal views. You have the classic spoons spilling out onto an unspoilt view across Carbis bay and St Ives. You cant really compare that to anything else. If your a spoons fan - this one is ran by Haven as its on a holiday park so drinks are naturally more expensive. That being said I thought it was still reasonable giving the view/ overheads in the area. This is on a holiday park so there are elements that come with that- regardless still worth a visit”

  “Great Wetherspoon , the best one I’ve ever been in with the view. Food was great, service was good, prices are more than a normal. Wetherspoon due to this one being part of Haven Holidays. You need to download the Haven app to order, but it’s an overall 10/10”

  “Had a lovely evening drinks here. Then came back for breakfast the next morning. Only 2 things I would improve: there was no background music in the evening (maybe because football was on?) And secondly, the beans with the breakfast weren't as good as I remember (a wider Spoons thing, not specifically this one). Overall, very happy with the cleanliness and what they've done with the place :)”

  “On a day trip for business. Standard Spoons, but more expensive than most. Maybe due to it being linked to a Holiday Park chain. Service good, food standard Spoons fayre. Do not eat on the terrace or anywhere outside. Seagulls will swoop and take what they can. Views spectacular and locals were friendly, conversive and informative. You will have to pay to park here (£2 minimum) and the car park at the pub only accepts coins. Park over the road and it takes both coins and online payment. Hope this provides guidance before you visit.”

  “New addition to the weatherspoons family. On the positives. The view is amazing with plenty of outdoor seating. The toilets are clean and tidy. The staff we met were very good. On the negative side. You have to pay for parking, which I detest. The food was average at best. The prices seem to be a bit higher than a bog standard Spoon's. So all in all not bad, views are stunning, but at the end of the day it is a Spoon's. Worth a visit if you are in the area.”

  “The Bluff Inn in Hayle has recently been completely renovated into a Wetherspoons, and it’s in a fantastic location. The beer garden overlooking Hayle Beach is absolutely incredible — easily the standout feature and hard to beat anywhere nearby. Unfortunately, the interior doesn’t quite live up to the setting. Despite the renovation, it feels very much like a standard Wetherspoons, with consistent red tones and a fairly generic pub atmosphere. It’s a bit of a missed opportunity given how stunning the surroundings are. On a more positive note, the toilets were surprisingly cute and had a nice, slightly more playful “girly” feel, which was a nice touch. Food-wise, it’s what you’d expect — very cheap with plenty of options, but the quality is just okay rather than anything memorable. Overall, it’s worth visiting for the unbeatable view alone, but the interior and food don’t quite match the potential of the location.”
