Eating and Drinking in Portreath, Cornwall*

Portreath, Cornwall Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• The best place for Food has got to be the Basset Arms. Anything from a quick snack to a full Restaurant meal, and only two minutes from the beach.
• Best Pastie's! Don't think so! Crantock Crusty's are better, hot from the crantock Bakery
• The Bakery does the BEST Cornish Pasties in the whole of Cornwall. But they sell out quickly, so get there before 12:00. Orders larger than '6' should be arranged the day before.

Pubs

• Best pub has got to be Portreath arms.
• The basset arms! best pub in the village and the barmaid are quite cute too!!
• Of the Portreath Arms, Waterfont and Basset Arms, the Portreath Arms is a must. The landlord, Ian is a sound bloke. A great place to stop by for a late-un!!!
• The bassett is now under ownwership, The waterfront Comments are unfair Trevor makes everybody welcolme, charlie perhaps questionable &, the food is ok but perhaps expensive for frozen, the Ops room has been closed for at least 5 yrs or more, must admit Dick P is a pratt.
• Basset arms in Portreath is alright but the landlord (Craig) jumps on you as soon as you come in the door. The food is great and the play area is ideal for the kids. The waitress are always smiling and Denise will tend to your every need!! Paula needs her eyes tested!!!
• UPDATE: The Waterfront Inn used to be the hippest pub in the village, that was until doom struck (by doom we mean Trevor & Charlie the new Managers). They stopped the loud music, no more foul languge (which isn't such a bad thing) and now to top everything off they have taken the pool table away!!! WARNING: If you are caught having a good time in the Waterfront Inn then beware as they might remove the beer too!!! The best pub in the village now has got to be the Portreath Arms Hotel, you can have great food, play pool and Ian the landlord keeps the best ale in the Village (Probably County actually). If you like Guinness then here is the place for you!
• The Portreath Arms (now the only pub in the village with a pool table) caters for all, Great food, Great Beer, Best Guiness in the village and it even has bedrooms if you can't quite make it home! A true locals pub.
• Don't bother with the Bassett arms, the Landlord's a twat. The Portreath arms and the Waterfront Inn are the only cred places in the village.
• The Basset Arms has a great new Play Area for the kids,a childrens menu & plenty of garden tables plus a Conservatory.
• If you are into SCUBA Diving visit the Portreath Arms Hotel and speak to Sharon who is well versed on the best dives around the coast of Cornwall
• There are 3 pubs, in this little village. For the younger people (18 - 30), the "WATERFRONT" is the one for them. There is 1 hotel, and numerous b&b's. "Suhalie" (mis-spelt ) - I recommend.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
