Wax Watergate Bay

Wax Watergate Bay
3.7 / 5 (2109 reviews)

Description

Wax continues to attract attention for its impressive menu and inviting ambiance. Regular patrons praise the generous portions and delicious dishes, noting highlights like the Chicken Mex Burger and the Sunday roast wrap. However, recent visits reveal inconsistencies in service and food quality, including slow arrival times and occasional ingredient shortages, particularly for gluten-free options. A quieter atmosphere was disrupted by unwelcome music, detracting from the visit. Despite these challenges, loyal customers appreciate the friendly staff and dedication to cleanliness, leaving them hopeful for improvements and encouraging future visits to experience the renowned culinary offerings.

This popular local pub/restaurant at Watergate Bay is known for serving delicious pub food with a welcoming staff. Enjoy sitting on the wooden deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and breathe in the salty sea air - it's very relaxing. However, prices have increased significantly in recent years and some may find it a bit overpriced, especially for basic dishes like a burger and chips. Nevertheless, it's still a lovely spot to enjoy a cider on the balcony after a stroll on the beach with your dogs - as long as Cornwall is experiencing a rare good weather day!

An absolute amazing place, the food is amazing… sometimes you have to wait if it is busy but that’s what you would expect for freshly cooked food. If you want fast food go to McDonald’s! The venue is second to none and the staff couldn’t be anymore helpful and professional. I would highly recommend a visit.

Tourist trap. Very expensive for below average food £20+ for a main which is clearly mass produced food service rubbish , no table service you have to order via a QR code why do they need my email address AND phone number to cook my dinner!? , tables were sticky and the restaurant was generally not very looked after toilets were in dire need of renovation and lots of visible bodge jobs everywhere in the restaurant . I can only assume all the 5 star reviews for this place are paid for, or the individuals were very drunk.
