Some pubs tolerate children; we’re glad to see them. The Quintrell Inn is a traditional pub near Newquay where families can settle in for a proper meal, a relaxed afternoon or a full day out — parents included.
There’s plenty to keep everyone happy. The games room has pool, darts and air hockey alongside grab machines and children’s sticker machines, the beer garden comes into its own in fine weather, and the food runs from breakfast through to Sunday carvery. Even the dog can come — well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome inside.
We’re at Quintrell Downs, a few minutes from Newquay, with free parking for guests — so whether you’re local or down on holiday, we’re an easy one to get to.
Why Families Choose The Quintrell
Family-Friendly Food
From breakfast to our Sunday carvery and regular curry nights, there’s a full menu to keep every age fed and happy.
Games and Entertainment
Pool, darts and air hockey for the big kids, grab machines and sticker machines for the little ones — the games room is open whenever we are.
Outdoor Space
The beer garden gives the kids room to breathe and the grown-ups somewhere to enjoy a drink in the sun.
A Great Place for Families Near Newquay
Eating out with children works best somewhere relaxed — somewhere nobody’s watching the clock, the food arrives without fuss, and there’s more to do than sit still. That’s the kind of pub The Quintrell Inn sets out to be, and it’s why we’re a popular family pub near Newquay for locals and holidaymakers alike.
Different ages want different things, and the pub covers most of them. The games room keeps everyone busy — pool, darts and air hockey for teenagers and adults, grab machines and children’s sticker machines for younger ones. In good weather the beer garden does the rest, and on wet Cornish days (we get the odd one), the games room means a visit doesn’t depend on the forecast.
The food side is simple: breakfast to start a day out, a full menu through the week, curry nights for something different, and the Sunday carvery that families plan the week around.
More to Enjoy at The Quintrell Inn
Families rarely visit a pub for just one thing, and a week at The Quintrell can look quite different day to day. Weekend breakfast before the beach, Sunday carvery with the whole table, a curry night when the kids fancy something different — the menus cover it all.
Between meals there’s the games room, the beer garden when the sun’s out, and live music and events worth checking before you plan your visit. Bringing the dog? Have a look at our dog-friendly page. Driving over? Parking is free for guests — details on our parking page.
