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...
Read moreI’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...
Read moreI'm sorry to say I've been to the weatherspoons nearby this locality and unfortunately they are not the same as I do not understand why they have a limited menu and the prices are over priced to the others located in the vicinity. The weatherspoons in the Penzance area to me is far the best and there menu is more versatile and that reflects the price. Also this offers the menu suitable to there needs which does not reflect customer preference and needs. I think generally weatherspoons management need to look into this and decide whether they offer best quality for there customers or best service as I had another worst experience with the one located in St Ives and there service was very appaling. This is a no brainer the one that is the far the best value for money and customer service exceptional is the one located in Penzance which I would recommend. I would recommend a drive which is a few miles and enjoy the food you love without the ignorant staff and the over pricing so for me Penzance weatherspoons is the one and keep up the good work from Penzance. The staff here and the locality are the ones that get customers going for more and more because there is a service they provide which the customers are happy to pay for unlike the others where a customer is just a number to them and by the looks of it they do not appreciate using there intellect to offer a great service...
