    The Lanherne Pub in Newquay is located a bit off the beaten track - several hundred meters from the town's busy beaches. As such, it is mainly frequented by folk from the area, not tourists. It offers a good range of beers (for once, not all St. Austell's!), including several hand-pumped ales from Tintagel Brewery. It is a HUGE place with two different outside seating areas - a bigger one on the front and a very small on on the back (see photos). There's a pool table near the bar area. During my visit only a handful of people were there, but it was still early in the evening on a weekday. Bar staff were very friendly, and the place has a pleasant feel to it, although I can imagine it gets quite loud during busier times.

    Beer prices are rather civil and lower than average for Newquay.

    Great pubs in Newquay are few and far between, since most of them cater to visitors from England and abroad and are very touristy. This one is the opposite: A really good community pub.

    Quiet, comfortable, and really exceptional pub food. We stopped here for a late dinner after a long day of touring. The Yelp reviews were mediocre, but we were tired and ready to put our feet up. I am glad we did! The service was fast and friendly and the food was really, really good. My mother had the shepherd's pie and I had the chicken tikka. We got dessert- sticky toffee pudding- to go, and our waitress was nice enough to give us extra clotted cream on the side! Really a nice change of pace from the touristy side of Newquay. Felt like we were eating dinner with the locals.

    The Lanherne is tucked right out of the way, near the boating lake, and I'd be surprised if any tourists found it, to be honest. I'm not saying that's a selling point, but it could be good if you're looknig for somewhere a little less hectic on a hot August night. It's really big, with a good menu, and friendly staff. Worth seeking out for a bit more of a chill, probably not for you if you want to have the largest of evenings...

    A nice big pub, they had a pub quiz on when we went and its a good laugh. I know they do food and as far as I know thats ok. They have some good beers as well. Its ideal if youre local or staying more inland in Newquay.

    This is a well-lit recently renovated bar with a good dining area. The main bar has 2 pool tables and a darts board and hosts both the pool and darts leagues once a week. The service from the barmaids is very good, and the food is above average pub grub and fairly inexpensive. Its on a main road into newquay and gets plenty of passing trade in the summer so its usually quite busy, although like everywhere in town it is dead in the winter months. The owners can be a bit hit-and-miss in their approach to their customers which is a bit off-putting. The music is playing via the flat screen TVs and is generally a fairly good mix of genres. A decent pub that most people will find acceptable for Sunday dinner and a few pints.
