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.
This December all our restaurants have taken on the festive spirit. From Twelve Drinks of Christmas in The Living Space, to live music and alpine cheese fondue in The Beach Hut, and a new seasonal menu in Zacry’s.
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. Home of the Extreme Hot Chocolate.
Launching new Extreme burgers, festive specials like turkey Kiev and live music sessions through December. Open Thursday to Monday.
The Living Space
Coffees, salads, small plates, sharing antipasti boards, large plates and dishes from the grill… Easy eating and lounging throughout the day, with food served from the open kitchen.
December sees the return of the Twelve Drinks of Christmas each with its own hero ingredient including the zesty Love & Lemons made with our special Loveday collaboration gin.
Zacry's on the sea wall
Shining a light on provenance, place and perspective. Seasonally changing three-course menus showcase the location, whilst bringing the best of Cornish produce to the table.
We’re introducing executive head chef Chris Eden's imaginative new menu. Think surf n’ turf ’disco’ scallops with Cornish pork belly, crab ravioli and côte de boeuf sharers.
Open Tuesday to Saturday.
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.
