Just a stone’s throw from Brixham Harbour, The New Quay Inn is a charming, dog-friendly pub and restaurant that’s become a local favourite for its warm atmosphere, hearty food, and coastal character.
It’s right in the heart of this historic fishing town — perfect for a relaxed meal after a stroll along the waterfront or a day exploring the English Riviera. Inside, the pub is cosy and full of character, with wooden décor, a log burner and friendly staff who go out of their way to make guests feel at home. There’s seating across two floors, including a light-filled upstairs dining area and a snug bar downstairs. Dogs are welcome, and the pub’s resident pup, Tilly, is always happy to greet new visitors.
The menu at The New Quay Inn focuses on comforting British classics and seasonal small plates, with a few surprises thrown in. Highlights include homemade duo pies — one with steak and red wine, the other with chicken, bacon, and tarragon — both served with cauliflower cheese and vegetables. You’ll also find dishes like stroganoff, mussels and Sunday roasts that have earned rave reviews from regulars. Vegetarian options are available, and the kitchen is happy to accommodate dietary needs.
Drinks are a big part of the experience here, with a wide selection of real ales, wines, and local gins that pair perfectly with the food. The bar is well-stocked and lively, offering everything from classic lagers to eclectic cocktails like the gin deck chair.
Open daily from midday, The New Quay Inn is a great spot for lunch, dinner, or a casual drink with friends. Whether you’re a Brixham local or just passing through, it’s a place that delivers good food, good company, and a proper pub welcome.
