About Great Western
Great Western sits on Cliff Road in Newquay, attached to the Great Western Hotel and overlooking the sea, Great Western beach, Towan Beach, and the harbour. The bar works as a relaxed stop for pints and lattes, with small biscuits served alongside drinks, and the outdoor seating faces the beach and harbour. Dogs are welcome, and the venue operates on a walk-in basis, with service covering both the bar and a restaurant side. Prices are kept reasonable, and the room is divided between indoor and outdoor tables for groups and passers-by alike.
