Rebellion Roast House — Restaurant in Newquay

I must confess, my feelings on this particular visit were more mixed than a hobbit's breakfast on an empty pantry day. Upon my arrival, the staff seemed as uncertain as a dwarf in an elf's garden about finding me a table, but thankfully, they did.

Seated at last, my thoughts turned eagerly to a refreshing drink. Alas, the menu stared back at me for what felt like the length of two elevenses, as no one came to take my order.

Realizing that a food order was being handled at the bar, I trudged over, asking for cider and food, only to be directed to wait for the colleague who manages both food and drink orders. The drink maker seemed as slow as an ent's storytelling and the only one that day to be handling the drinks.

After standing behind another patron—who, by the way, was ordering for an outside table—I attempted to place my order. The waitress, however, sent me back to my inside table with promises to come and take my order there. On my way back, I saw what seemed to be a pint of cider, only to be told it wasn’t mine, and mine would take a long while longer.

Back at my table, doubts began to creep in about ever seeing that cider. Finally, the waitress arrived and took my order: halloumi fries, beef brisket with chips, and the long-awaited pint of cider. Other waitresses buzzed about like bees in a clover patch, delivering food and drink, yet my pint remained a distant dream.

The kitchen, in full view, was a marvel. The head chef was like a wizard casting spell after spell, producing delicious-looking meals with ease. My food arrived promptly, a shining tribute to the chef's skill and the waitress's efficiency. But still, no drink for this thirsty hobbit.

I watched the drink maker, with the patience of a tree root, complete many orders of 5 and 6 drinks, but not mine. By the time my cider finally arrived, I had finished my halloumi fries and was halfway through my beef brisket. The long wait cast a shadow over my otherwise delightful meal. Had I known, I would have delayed my food order, preferring to savor a drink before starting my feast.

Despite the wait, the food was a triumph. The halloumi fries were thick and golden, the beef brisket tender and succulent, and even the chips—typically not my favorite—were crisp and tasty. The waitress jested about me leaving some, but I nearly devoured the lot.

In conclusion, the food and cider at Rebellion Roast House were as splendid as a Shire harvest festival, and some of the staff were as friendly as a warm hearth. Yet, the sluggish drink service was a disappointment, especially for a lone hobbit seeking solace in a pint. While the positives were plenty, this flaw prevents me from giving a...

This review is really frustrating for me to write, because I really wanted to like this place. I came here with my family for dinner, booking a table here is fairly easy and it does get quite packed so it’s well recommended if you wanna avoid disappointment.

We were seated at our table, and we ordered our drinks as well as our mains. Now fair enough the restaurant was fairly busy, but that is no excuse for making mistakes such as bringing the wrong drinks or forgetting our order, meaning we had to order our drinks and our entire starters and mains all over again. And it doesn’t seem like this was an isolated incident with us, as I heard another table nearby us was complaining to one of the staff members, who I will give credit to was very professional about the criticism.

Once our food arrived, the starters were nice, item such as the fried pickles and the squid bites are nice appetisers that will get you prepped up for your main without filling you up before you eat it!

However, the mains I’m sorry to say are average at best. I ordered a chicken snack burger which was smothered in oil, I mean I took one bite of it and the oil practically started pouring out. Makes eating it a very messy affair. Also for the money you spend on them, the quality you get I’m sorry to say, I just don’t think it equates to it.

I didn’t order an alcoholic drink, but my relatives who did say they were nice and they are admittedly worth the money you spend on them.

Atmosphere wise it’s nice in there, it’s like a proper steakhouse vibe so on that point they’ve got spot on. But I feel like the staff in there aren’t supported as much as it’s clear they seemed kind of overwhelmed by the busyness of the restaurant, which probably led to the mistakes that happened that night.

I would hope to one-day visit this place again, because I really did want to like this place, and the service wasn’t that bad it just needs a...

During our recent visit to Newquay, Cornwall, we had the pleasure of dining at Rebellion Restaurant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for our family. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and polite staff, who made us feel right at home.

The atmosphere was lively yet cosy, creating the perfect setting for a family meal. The decor had a modern edge, with just the right amount of charm to make it inviting without being overwhelming. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the space comfortable and appealing for all ages.

As for the food, it was nothing short of excellent. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a classic burger and fries, succulent beef brisket, and deliciously tender pork belly. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with flavours that were rich and satisfying. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, paired with crispy fries that were impossible to resist. The beef brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a smoky flavour that highlighted the quality of the meat. The pork belly was equally impressive, with a perfect balance of crispy skin and tender, flavourful meat.

The service was exemplary throughout our meal. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that we had everything we needed while allowing us to enjoy our meal at our own pace. They were especially accommodating to our young family, making sure that everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of.

Overall, we left Rebellion Restaurant very satisfied and with full bellies. It's a place that not only delivers on great food but also excels in creating a welcoming and enjoyable dining experience. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Newquay, whether you're looking for a family-friendly spot or just a great meal in a fantastic setting. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip...
