The local takeaways on offer that you just have to try

The coronavirus pandemic might have forced all restaurants and pubs to shut back in March, but don’t panic – you can still get top class Cornish food and drink delivered straight to your door!

Establishments across the county have turned their hand to takeaways, serving up tasty meals, snacks and even pints (yes, we have outdoor beach bars!) for you to take home and enjoy. Remember, supporting local, independent businesses will be key to making sure they’re still about for years to come! So, here are our list of favourite nearby spots to get your foodie fix… 

1. The Café at Atlantic Reach

Did you know that our onsite café will now deliver anything off the menu straight to the door of your holiday home? Everything from full Cornish breakfasts and healthy smoothies, to the classics like pizzas, burgers and basket meals – because the last thing you should be doing on holiday is cooking your own meals! Now available to order online via the Atlantic Reach App (free to download from the App Store).

2. Gilmore’s

Get the full Mexi-Cornish experience with tacos, nachos and, hands down, the best burritos in town. Collection and contactless payments only at the moment (Gilmore’s is just up the road from Newquay Harbour).

3. Zaman’s Indian Takeaway

Whether you go for the classic chicken tikka masala or fancy trying something a little spicier, Zaman’s can’t be beaten on price! Delicious and authentic Indian cuisine and a top notch delivery service (between £3-4 extra to deliver to Atlantic Reach).

4. Gusto

If you’re looking for giant portions of tasty food at decent prices, Gusto Deli is the one for you. Serving up boxes of falafel salads, slow roasted pork belly, greek gyros and even a full takeaway roast dinner (yes, including the gravy!) They’re right in the centre of Newquay.

5. Catch Seafood Bar & Grill

Enjoy fresh seafood and local dishes from this beachside eatery down at Mawgan Porth. They’ve made pretty much entire menu available to takeaway, so either find a quiet spot on the beach and tuck in or whizz back and enjoy on the sofa – it’s delicious either way. Make sure you try their ‘Fizz & Chips’ special on Fridays, a divine combo.

6. The Traveller’s Rest

If you’re missing those hearty pub meals then ordering a takeaway from these guys is the next best thing! Just up the hill from Watergate Bay, they’ll wrap up anything from their special takeaway menu so you can enjoy your favourite pub classics at your home-away-from-home.

7. The Mermaid

This is one of our fave places to watch the sun set with a glass of something chilled in the summer. In the meantime, you can still pretend you’re there enjoying that Cornish experience by ordering a Mermaid meal from their website. They’ll deliver anything from their popular pub menu straight to your door – yes, even a Sunday roast! 

8. Orient Chinese

By far the best Chinese in town! A family-run restaurant known for its tasty Cantonese-style cuisine and reliable, friendly service, they’ll bring your favourite Chinese dishes to you.
