Watergate Bay has some of the best dining options in Cornwall. With 4 restaurants to try, there is something for every taste. Fifteen Cornwall, founded by Jamie Oliver, turns fresh local ingredients into classic Italian dishes. The 5 course evening taster menu is a real treat.
Within the hotel, the Brasserie offers exceptional modern Cornish dinners, while the Living Space has relaxed all day dining with great views of the waves rolling onto the sand. Down by the beach is the popular Beach Hut. With everything from light snacks to a generous fish pie, the Beach Hut is a great pit stop after a couple of hours in the sea.
