Newquay's reputation for fine food is growing year- on- year. More establishments are sourcing locally in the desire to use fresh and tasty produce which not only supports the local economy but also helps reduce the negative aspects of food miles. Where better than Cornwall to get recently dug vegetables, seasonal fruit, succulent meat and fresh fish straight from the sea? Newquay offers trendy beachside bistros with contemporary cuisine; stylish high street venues, ethnic, North American and European restaurants, and, of course, great traditional food is always available from the cafes, pubs and take- aways dotted around the town. But for the most traditional of all local fare, don't forget the Cornish pasty - the original convenience food - and like Cornish cream teas this family favourite is an essential part of your holiday experience. Seeking out local eateries not only allows you to abandon your car, saving petrol and parking costs, it also gives you the opportunity for a pre- lunch or dinner stroll to help sharpen your appetite. Should the return journey prove too arduous, let one of Newquay's taxi services take you back in style. For those who enjoy a tipple, whether your passion is for fine wines, real ales or cocktails, look no further than our locale. The choice of hostelries is almost boundless and with ultra chic bars to the more traditional family- run taverns available, all tastes can be satisfied. Cheers!
