Food & drink
Breakfasts that set you up, fresh mussels, sharing boards and menus for post-surf cravings. Whether you’re here to dine or barefoot from the beach – choose from three different eating and drinking spots in the Bay. Right on the north Cornwall coast.
The Beach Hut
Laid-back, breezy and modern, The Beach Hut blends considered food, easy beach dining and a warm welcome – all supported by a sustainable purpose.
The Living Space
Coffees, salads, spcials, kids’ plates, large plates, sharing antipasti boards… Easy eating and lounging throughout the day, with food served from the open kitchen.
When the hotel is busy we are only able to open for hotel guests.
Zacry's
Shining a light on provenance, place and perspective, we welcome Zacry’s to its new home on our sea wall.
The Beach Bar
From gourmet hot dogs and take-out Cubs cofee, Napoletana-style pizzas to artisan ice cream, cold beers and cocktails for sunset, our enticing choice of food and drink to enjoy on – or overlooking – the sand means making the most of longer days at the beach.
Watergate Bay gift cards
A gift card is the key to all things Watergate Bay; a stay, dinner in Zacry's, cocktails in The Living Space, a surf lesson at Wavehunters, or a treatment in Swim Club.
