What FIL M doesn't like about Old Watch House:
My family and I attended for lunch. The staff were welcoming, although did make a few mistakes. The food was tasty, but again a few mistakes with bits missing. However, when brought to the attention of staff everything was rectified. View all feedback. What Lesley N likes about Old Watch House:

I had lunch at this restaurant. The hake chips were enjoyable and the crab sandwiches were delicious, although they were a bit pricey.

The Old Watch House in New Quay offers a mix of experiences, with some customers raving about the tasty wood-fired pizzas and excellent service, while others lament the shift away from the seafood offerings. Despite some sticky tables, inconvenient restroom access, and obscured merchandise, the affordable prices and unique breakfast options give potential for a return visit. While some find the lack of ambiance disappointing, others appreciate the laid-back beach atmosphere. Overall, the reviews are mixed, with some praising the food and service, while others feel the establishment has lost some of its appeal.
