"My girlfriend and I dined at this restaurant on a Monday evening, which is not typically a busy day. However, we arrived at 6:30pm and it was the last available table! The front of house manager greeted us warmly and handled a small issue with our reservation effortlessly. We were seated in a cozy area and offered drinks while our table was prepared. We quickly received glasses of Prosecco along with the menus, and they asked about any allergies—I mentioned my dairy intolerance which they noted. Soon after, we were led to our table with a beautiful view of the estuary, where our wine was waiting. A lovely amuse bouche and bread (with butter and oil for me) were served to start. My partner enjoyed a sweet potato foam, while I had a smoked salmon and caper dish (dairy-free). Both were delicious. Our smoked mackerel starters were equally delightful, one with a dairy foam and one without. Our main courses arrived in a timely manner and were both beautifully presented—roast cod for me and chicken breast for my partner. The dishes were all delicious. We finished our meal with an Irish coffee and a panna cotta, both of which were superb. Overall, it was an outstanding dining experience with impeccable service. Many Michelin-starred restaurants could take notes from the Old Quay House. We can't wait to return.

"We have been to this restaurant many times over the years and after our recent meal we wondered why we don’t go more often. The owner is a friend but also would respect an honest review. First and foremost the food was exceptional and definitely the best we have had in recent times. It’s not a place that piles food on a plate and so once you taste the food can you only understand that it’s quality and not quantity. Every course (3) was delicious, presented on the plate beautifully and something different from the norm. It’s not a cheap place to eat and nowhere is anymore but the food stood up to scrutiny. I’m doing a review in depth because I was blown away by the food. The restaurant could do with refurbishing and the staff were not up to the standard of the food. It’s very difficult to get staff that stay around and Brexit hasn’t helped. The front of house should and must reflect the kitchen, which it doesn’t at the moment BUT the food was so so good that it just made up for the front of house and surely it’s all about the food. So our review reflects the the food which was simply fantastic. Other aspects are sometimes very difficult to get right in a seaside town. We absolutely endorse the great food, which is definitely the best in Newquay. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £60–70 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2"

"Oh dear. Having passed this place many times we decided we might give it a go. It was sunny and so we sat outside. There is very little space between the café’s curtilage and the pavement, enough room to get in four or five picnic type tables, a couple of which had umbrellas. Otherwise, the area is untroubled by any kind of decoration. The form is that you go inside and order and that they bring your order out to you. Inside I was greeted – or more accurately not greeted by an unsmiling lady whose mood may have been occasioned by the inconvenience of having to break off from her conversation to take an order. Or maybe it was caused by the prospect of doing something about the very visible large pile of used plates and crockery waiting for someone to wash them up. Our coffee arrived fairly promptly accompanied by a rather dismal apricot Danish, which may have been seeing daylight for the third or fourth time that week. The coffee was passable, but in a resort town like Bude the bar is set fairly high and passable doesn’t really do it. I don’t know if the place is run by its owners, but in the unlikely event that they are reading this, here are some tips. Put a bit of thought into making the outside more appealing. If you can afford it, put a palm tree in one of the corners or at very least get some greenery. And while you’re about it, junk those picnic tables. Many of the elderly and the disabled can’t use them and anyway you’re not a country pub. And whether the place is run by you or your staff – smile at the customers. They’ve got what you’re after – money. The catch is they’ve got choice too."
