Fern Pit Cafe & Ferry

A proper Newquay classic perched above the Gannel, where the view does half the talking and the food does the other half. It’s the kind of place you aim for after a coastal wander, when everyone’s windswept and ready for comfort. Expect a relaxed beach-kitchen vibe and a menu that suits lingering lunches and “go on then, one more drink” afternoons. The ferry adds extra fun in season, turning a visit into a mini adventure across to Crantock and back. Dogs are welcome inside, so your four-legged shadow can join the sit-down part of the day. Keep it polite: no wet-dog shake-offs mid-service, no plate-licking auditions, and if you’re outside, do the decent thing and pick up after your dog.
