The Pub with Crantock's Scenery, No Queues and Unbeatable Views
The Bowgie Inn is a much-loved cliff-top pub perched on West Pentire Headland near Crantock, just outside Newquay. Originally a cowshed—hence its Cornish name “Bowgie”—this family-run inn now offers sweeping views across Crantock Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Its large beer garden is often celebrated as one of the best in the UK, with plenty of space to relax in the sun after a coastal walk. Pet-friendly and full of local charm, the Bowgie welcomes visitors year-round with outdoor seating, a games room, and thoughtful touches like dog treats and charity drop-off points.
Inside, the pub blends traditional character with modern comforts. It’s known for hearty, home-cooked meals made from fresh Cornish ingredients, including Sunday roasts, homemade quiches, rich curries, and indulgent desserts. There are options for vegetarians, vegans, children, and gluten-free diets. The drinks menu is just as impressive, offering a wide selection of Cornish ales, craft ciders, over 35 local gins—including clotted cream gin—and quality coffees and hot chocolates. Whether you’re stopping by for a relaxed lunch, a cozy drink by the fire, or sunset drinks overlooking the coast, The Bowgie Inn delivers an unforgettable and authentic Cornish pub experience.
