Eat

The culinary highlight at Fistral Beach Hotel is the stylish Dune Restaurant, holding 2 AA Rosettes and celebrated as one of Newquay’s leading fine dining venues. Diners here are treated to sweeping ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows, paired with confident, modern British cooking that champions local Cornish produce. The kitchen, led by head chef Daniel Kerr, presents multi-course and à la carte menus marked by clear, fresh flavours and refined execution. Seafood shines, with dishes crafted from the daily catch, while meat and vegetarian options are handled with equal care. The service is polished yet relaxed, creating an atmosphere that’s every bit as inviting as the panoramic vistas.
