Central Inn, Newquay

You'll find the Central Inn planted right on Central Square, where the real heart of Newquay beats—not the touristy beachfront bits, but where locals actually spend their evenings. It's got that reassuring pub feel: worn wooden floors, proper ales on tap, and a kitchen that doesn't overthink things. The crowd's a proper mix of surfers grabbing dinner after dawn patrol, office workers unwinding, and regulars who've claimed their usual spots at the bar. Food-wise, expect solid pub grub that does what it says on the tin, nothing fancy but genuinely good fuel.
