We decided to visit Lakeside Cafe for our Sunday lunch. The cafe/restaurant was a pleasant walk from the Trencreek Holiday park we were staying at. The location is lovely and our table was overlooking the boating lake.
We decided to have the two course lunch offer having Belly pork and Goats cheese starters followed by roast dinners which included separate dish of vegetables and an extra gravy boat.
The food was delicious, hot and generous portion sizes.
We found the staff excellent and very efficient from booking and throughout the whole visit.
Highly recommended ❤️- Reservation

Undoubtedly the best cafe I have had in Newquay Cornwall. Service was bit slow though lol. Good outdoor seating, delicious food. We tried vegan breakfast., item were fresh and tasted absolutely amazing. It's next to lake, which make it more special. Prices are also reasonable. Plenty of free car parking spaces available. If you are visiting Newquay, I definitely recommend this place.

Booked for a dinner with family. Relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere. Menu range was way beyond what I'd expected. I'd recommend the pork belly (starter or main) and the steak and blue cheese pie. Best meal of our holiday! Staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is really tranquil. Stopped by again for coffee this morning.

I visited a few weeks ago for brunch and was completely bowled over by the bacon and egg sandwich. It was incredible. Huge and packed with really good quality produce. The fry up was also very well received. Good options for teas and very friendly staff. View is nice too!
Excellent place for food and a drink the coffee and cake menu was delicious. We had brownie and a coffee and walnut cake with some kids ice cream and cheesy chips. Wonderful friendly staff and a great chilled atmosphere to relax and enjoy a meal overlooking the lake. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks 👍

Had lunch here with my wife. Great location and the food was excellent (and good portions) and delivered quickly. Particularly impressed with how the staff dealt with a nearby rude customer expecting miracles with dietary requirements even though the menu was varied to cater for most needs (this person had something we’ve never heard of before). Great friendly service all round.

Excellent restaurant! We visited today for the first time and we were so impressed. Not only was the cake HUGE but it was very reasonably priced and delicious. We were also very impressed with the way the staff dealt with some very challenging customers. We didn't know about the 'Pie night', but we will be returning soon! Thankyou!

Great food (we had the Wednesday pasta/pizza and cocktail offer for £15), and friendly, prompt service. We arrived just as service was ending at 8pm but we were still made to feel welcome and food was fresh and tasty. Price was a bargain for portion size plus a proper Gin cocktail. Highly recommend.

The Lakeside Café is the place to visit for a culinary delight, you must book the evening menu as it is truly sublime. I had the very best fish and chips with the most crispy and delicate batter, the fish within, was cooked to perfection, the side of peas and tartar sauce were delicious too. My wife had a wonderful meal of Belly pork with a delicious potato cake. The desserts too were delicious and all at an extremely reasonable price. If you visit Trenance gardens, Newquay, call in, you will not be disappointed, especially in the evening. The staff, who were super lovely, cannot do enough for you, they are so friendly, courteous, attentive and so professional, a great team and a gem of a restaurant.
Definitely book a table, if you are able too, as it's very popular. Also you must watch the sun go down over the sea at Pentire Head, So romantic! ❤️- Food

Great little cafe! We had a cream tea and the food and service was excellent. I opted for the savoury cheese scone with tomato chutney and cheddar cheese, whilst friends had the sweet option with jam and cream. Both were excellent!
