Traditional pub serving traditional menus and cask ales.
Travellers Rest, Trevarrian, Newquay, Cornwall (T:01637 861633)
Regrettably the pub is under new management and food was disappointing- as was the ‘local’s’ discount on drinks which was in effect a holiday makers ‘tax’ and hiked the price of our round (pint of cider and a white wine) from £10.35 to £11,70!! Bad business planning given that the establishment relies heavily on non local trade- prices considerably highly that other venues

(Less than a mile)

For three generations of our family we have been creating dishes from the land & sea of Cornish Shores.
Our team of chefs led by a head chef John Fish pride themselves on using locally sourced fresh foods. Be it from the boats at Newlyn Harbour, cuts from our local butcher or fresh seasonal produce.
Forget any pretence, good food means good ingredients made into a dish worth eating.
By the beach, great views, good food & drinks and Cornish hospitality
it's that simple.
Merrymoor never disappoints- breakfasts are amassing staff friendly and accommodating- fabulous views from the terrace too
September 2023
We had a meal at the Merrymoor inn and the food is delicious. On booking they were really helpful in finding us a time to come even though extremely busy. Our waitress on the night was very professional and service was very smooth, we weren’t waiting ages for our food . Definitely returning next year but will book ahead.
