Fantastic location, it doesn't get much better than a cafe actually on the beach with amazing views. We used this after a windswept walk along the beach. Inside or outside seats available, dogs welcome throughout. You have to queue to order which can be a while to wait if busy, then carry your own drinks back. This place is popular so you also need to ensure you have someone sat at a table to confirm you have one and getting one empty of the previous occupants debris can be a search but purely because of the popularity. Food is ordered then you have a battery alarm which sounds to tell you to go and collect it. I had the orange hot chocolate, amazing and nachos really nice.

Lovely bijou wine bar in Bude. Serving a variety of wines, beers, cocktails and gins. Lots of local produce and lovely meat or cheese platters to nibble on. Lovely service and also advice on wines if

We stopped by here for a drink after a walk along the beach. The inside was pretty grubby, the tables all looked dirty and the floor was a mess. Service was to the point, no real greeting or smile as the staff were all busy talking amongst themselves. Drinks were ok, and we took them to sit outside on the benches so our dog could carry on playing with other doggies in the sand. The place is a great location and has so much more potential to have a great ambiance and atmosphere then what is was when we visited.

Wow!. My first time here and what an experience. Peranporth beach at low tide is a massive expanse of clean, flat golden sand and today (a Saturday in December) was a dog heaven. Relatively small pay and display car park in the centre of a bustling coastal town will fill very quickly at busy visitors times so be warned. Book early. The Watering Hole is set at the top of the beach, commanding a fabulous view of the flat surf set beach, raised up a little on a sand bank with numerous picnic bench seats outside was a really welcome place for a short respite. Inside is a cafe bar in every sense of the description. Sand scattered all.across the floor added to the superbly relaxed atmosphere. Many large screen TVs displaying premier League rugby when we visited provide a great distraction. A trendy bar was open as was the cafe, offering cake, coffee and other light bites as well as a variety of lunch options, including a charmingly misspelled 'mackrel' dish. Staff were smiling and willing and polite, all busy clearing, checking and making sure things ran smoothly. Dog friendly as long as on a lead. Coffee and mocha were nicely made and were hot. The brownie was fresh and just delightful for this chocoholic. Toilets are outside but we're easily accessible and clean. All in all a great visit. Well done to whoever owns / manages this place and to all who work there. I fully recommend this as a main reason to visit this beach again.

There is a lot of potential and with their plans and once the building work is complete I’d definitely look to return, however the service at our recent visit let it down. There wasn’t service with a smile and it wasn’t very inviting. The toilets aren’t the cleanest. The best part was sitting on the beach with a pint of rattler admiring the views as it’s absolutely stunning.

The location is incredible, but unfortunately that’s the only great thing about his place. The food was ok (breakfast) but I wish I hadn’t visited the toilets before my food arrived as the toilets were so disgusting that it turned my stomach. The staff were pleasant enough, but where’s the Management? Where’s the toilet cleaning rota? If only the staff could just occasionally check the toilets and generally clean the tables etc. The whole place felt so dirty. I understand it’s dog friendly and also situated on the beach so therefore the floors can’t always be immaculate, but no excuse for dirty crockery and tables and absolutely filthy toilets. This place could be incredible.

Staff didn’t care if you were coming or going…Whole place was really dirty yet staff just stood there chatting , some on their phones , not cleaning. We have been twice in 1.5 y and was same last time. Expected much better as it’s such a pretty spot , has so much potential. Such a shame! Definitely won’t be trying this a third time.

Lovely spot, but food is so expensive and not very good, which is a shame. Ok for a drink but bring your own food! Great views

Really a shame. It used to be so good. The food is still very tasty but so expensive. No service except when ordering food at the food bar and collecting yourself when ready. No tables being cleaned either unfortunately. In fact we did not see one member of staff restaurant side in the hour and half we were here. For half term week they need more staff cleaning and need to adjust their pricing. The restaurant on the beach as you enter was far more busy and assuming now carrying a better reputation and reviews. You can pay less for a good quality table service restaurant unfortunately. .

Amazing place to sit and have a drink while watching the sunset. Great service and friendly staff. Lovely pint of rattler too
This place has seriously gone down hill ,the bar staff can't smile or greet you with a friendly voice, the toilets are swimming in urine ,no paper towels and 1 hand drier working ,stinking wet dogs wandering around, vastly overpriced for what it is ,they need to up the game

This pub is in a fantastic location right on Perranporth beach. This gives amazing views and plenty of opportunity to watch surfers. Wide selection of drinks and food. I had a small portion of fish and chips which was delicious. Really fresh fish. No parking on site.Parking: No car park on site. Access is via the beach.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-GA proper beach bar, dig your toes in the sand, watch the sunset over the sea and enjoy a nice drink. Food is also very good. Dog friendly. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Completely relaxed place. Can't wait to go back.

Unique 'on the beach' venue. We attended the 'surfers against sewage' musical event and had a brilliant evening. A little gem on the northern Cornish coast.

What a view, right on the beach. Great atmosphere and the fish and chips were some of the best I've ever had. Just watch out for the seagulls.
