Italian

Del Mar

A modern, relaxed Italian restaurant and pizzeria on St Georges Hill in Perranporth, open seven days for lunch and dinner. All bread is baked fresh on the premises, and the menu runs from wood-fired pizzas and pasta to fresh Cornish lobster and Devon scallops cooked in an open kitchen.

Curry

A Perranporth fixture for over 15 years, Jaipur serves authentic Indian food cooked with pride — from classic kormas to fiery Delhi karahi loaded with green chillies. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm, with delivery via Just Eat and reservations taken online.

Curry

Miners Arms

Hidden in the tiny hamlet of Mithian between Perranporth and St Agnes, this 16th-century stone pub is one of Cornwall’s great secrets. Thick walls, low beams, cosy snugs, and a kitchen that’s earned a fierce local following for its Sunday roasts and daily specials made from the best local produce.

Ice Cream

Perran Dairy

Handmade Cornish ice cream crafted for over 50 years using local Rodda’s cream and milk. The flavours change regularly — blueberry cheesecake, banoffee, rum & raisin — alongside fresh crêpes, Belgian waffles, sundaes, and even stone-baked pizza. Dog-friendly, with peanut butter dog ice cream to prove it.

Fish & Chips

Pickwicks Fish & Chips

A Perranporth staple for over 50 years, Pickwicks does the proper thing — fresh cod in crispy batter and chips cooked in beef dripping. A 70-seat diner with takeaway too. Sometimes the queue’s worth it.

Asian

Piran Thai

A hidden gem on St Pirans Road — a small, unpretentious Thai takeaway that punches well above its weight. Fresh spring rolls, fragrant curries, and most dishes available in vegetarian or vegan versions. Open daily from 4pm; get there early as it gets busy.

Seiners Arms

A family-run pub and B&B sitting right on Perranporth seafront, with panoramic views that wrap around Chapel Rock and three miles of golden sand. Hearty portions, a children’s menu, a dedicated dog menu, and a warm welcome for all the family.

Amazing Views

The Nest

The Nest Perranporth is a new rooftop bar above The Watering Hole, nestled right on the sand at the heart of the beach. Rooted in the rhythm of the Cornish coast, it’s a place to slow down, soak up the sea air, and enjoy the finer things done simply and well.

The Smugglers Den

A 16th-century thatched inn tucked away in the hamlet of Trebellan near Cubert — well worth the short drive inland. Roaring log fires, local ales, a legendary specials board using fresh Cornish produce, and a Pie & Ale Festival every May Bank Holiday. A genuine destination pub.

The Summer House

Perched on the cliffs above Perranporth beach, The Summer House is one of Cornwall’s most celebrated dining spots. With floor-to-ceiling windows, an al fresco deck, and a menu built around the finest local produce, it’s relaxed tapas by day and an elegant three-course experience by night. Booking recommended for evenings.

The Waterfront

Right on the seafront in Perranporth, The Waterfront Kitchen serves up casual, crowd-pleasing food with some of the best views in town. A solid choice for lunch after a morning on the waves.

The Watering Hole

The only bar in the UK actually on a beach, The Watering Hole has been a Perranporth institution since 1978. Local ales, generous pub food, tiki-style outdoor seating and unbeatable Atlantic views — plus a packed programme of live music and beach festivals including the legendary Tunes in the Dunes. Dog-friendly.

Tywarnhayle Inn

The “Tye” is a proper local pub at the heart of Perranporth — split-level bar, home-cooked food served daily, a famous Sunday carvery, and regular live music. One of those places that feels like it’s been there forever, because it has.

What Our Guests Say

Absolutely love staying at Seven Dunes. We have stayed here a number of times now. It is spotless, tastefully decorated and a minute from the beach 5 minutes to local shops and places to eat. Bedding and towels are supplied which is a bonus. Windbreaks. Everything you need to eat in, however there are some excellent places to eat in Perranporth though would recommend you book during the busy months. Love Seven Dunes (jokingly call it our second home) and Perranporth such a great place.
