  “Popped in a couple of times on World Cup final day. Firstly just for a couple of Beers, Soft Drinks, a side of Onion Rings and Ice Cream, then later for a cheap dinner. Everything was done through the app, and service was great, all of the staff were so friendly and nice. At dinner we saw a promotion to get 3 Pizzas at a discounted rate, so went for 2 Mediterranean Vegetable ones, and 1 Pepperoni. We also opted for more Onion Rings and a Bowl of Chips, washed down with Beer and Soft Drinks. The food is as expected, does the job but nothing spectacular. It matches the reasonable prices.”

  “Served eggs that were refrigerated temperature, sent them back. Served more eggs, one was red hot, the other was again refrigerated temperature. Ordered two slices of toast, only ever got one despite saying we ordered two. I'm not even that bothered, it was just very strange. Staff are great but well over worked, they need a payrise / more staff. The poor guy serving is running the whole place and doing miles on his feet. PS it's only 9am. Those guys are going to be shattered by lunch time.”

  “A Weatherspoons is a Weatherspoons no matter where you are in the country. It was busy, as expected in a busy part of Newquay - food was nice and hot when delivered. Ordered using QR code...easy.”

  “Another day, another Wetherspoons 😅 Good place to have a bite. Very good prices (even more considering what's around). Very quick service. It's the perfect spot to charge your phone while having a something to eat and get ready to keep exploring around. They have a terrace too, what is good. I forgot to make a picture of the food 😅 But I had a small American breakfast.”

  “Came here as I needed some dinner and it was late (around 10pm, midweek in April). A lot of other restaurants or pubs around Newquay had stopped serving food at this time (I imagine in summer places probably stay open a bit later), but luckily Wetherspoons was serving food until 11:00 or 11:30 (can’t exactly remember). Food came out fairly quickly, I didn’t have to wait too long. The portion size was not massive, and considering they also had a “small plate size” version of the fish and chips I was expecting the portion to be slightly bigger if I’m being honest, so 1* deducted for that. Aside from that, can’t complain (it was around £16 for the regular sized fish and chips with a pint of beer).”

  “Can't fault the service (see lovely staff photo), the price and the convenience. Whatever you might feel about Spoons this is the best you'll get in Newquay on a rainy Wednesday in March.”

  “So during our 10 night stay in Newquay, we frequented this Spoons on a few occasions. This is now the only Spoons in Newquay (July 2025) and more expensive then those accessible via bus from Newquay (St.Austell, Truro, Perrenporth & Cambourne) This opened at 8am and on day one we arrived inside about 8.10am. Given the time we looked forward to a lovely hot breakfast (Served 8am till 12Noon). We ordered 1x Small Breakfast at £3.99 and 1x Breakfast Muffin including a soft/hot drink at £3.99. The food arrived promptly however was cold, not even luke warm, we were confused as to how at that time it could be cold?. Other than the temperature the food was ok Refillable hot drinks cost £1.71.. however although the machines have more options than other Spoons we have been into i.e decaf/caffeine or hot/cold; the Latte, Hot Chocolate and Mocha were dreadful. The latter two barely filled half a cup when the machine said drink had been finished. The staff looked into the matter and tried to resolve but to no avail. The latte was not great either. We drink these in other Spoons and enjoy them. We would avoid hot drinks in here. The pub itself, as with most Spoons has the main Ladies and Gentlemens toilets upstairs. Unfortunately when going to the Ladies, the Gents door often opened allowing for the awful smell of urinals to waft out, in hindsight perhaps the Gents should have been placed to the furthest point. The Spoons has a small seating area to the front, we think it was non smoking to the left and smoking to the right. The benches would be in the sun (when the sun made an appearance) there were also umbrellas available. All in all the majority of the staff were fabulous, friendly and engaging. The pub could get very busy. Idea place for a quick pit stop, especially good to grab a pint of Ale (Mon-Wed) at a very reasonable price or a single vodka and mixer for only £1.99. Disappointed with the food and given the recent changes to the Daily Clubs, we were disappointed to discover no Pizzas at this Spoons, that ruled out the good deal Small Plates on Monday for us and Pizza Club on a Wednesday.”

  “I’m putting my local spoons down as most improved restaurant! Let’s get real the food here is not somewhere you would take a date in my opinion my expectations of food here is lower they have taken pub grub and somehow lowered the standard but we know this going in. My first photo shows the abomination I would usually get served and yes stone cold beans, warm bread, unrecognisable egg (cold) it really was terrible. However something changed this year food started coming out warm sometimes hot, the beans became tepid and eventually I was served breakfast with hot beans on , toast that looked like toast. I’m mainly in there for breakfast and for a pint (later in the evenings) meals not very often so this is a breakfast review. For the money let’s not forget it’s cheaper not by too much now it seems but we do hear Newquay spoons is more expensive so for the money they are doing ok certainly much improved over the years and the people responsible deserve credit. A large breakfast in town is around £12-£15 maybe more when I took my son for a ‘pub grub’ breakfast it was £36 two meals and two drinks! When I went to spoons on my next fry up Sunday it cost me £12 two meals and two drinks was it half as good…maybe but £36 means I won’t go back for a month of Sundays, for £12 see you next week, so it will always be on my list for a quick breakfast to start the day. In the evenings or mornings I guess beer is or has become so distant in pricing from other places you can’t avoid spoons if you want a night of drinking. I’ve paid up to £7:40 in town for a beer in a mouldy old industrial unit tiny but ‘trendy’ so the kids say. In here it’s £3. It’s a professional company the service is quick all equipments clean it’s always busy and your not getting robbed all the time so I believe you couldn’t and shouldn’t avoid it. You want to go out have a good night wake up with money in your pocket your get that here.”
