Project Eighty Three

Welcome to Project Eighty Three

Located in the heart of Newquay, Cornwall, Project Eighty Three is more than a café, and more than a motorbike gear shop — it's a community hub for riders and locals. Whether you're looking for great food, protective gear, or a friendly space to chill, you're in the right place.

Our Story

Born from a love of bikes and the laid-back coastal lifestyle, Project Eighty Three was built to bring people together. We wanted a place where riders and locals alike could connect over quality coffee, good food, and great conversation. Now it's the locals' go-to for cold beer, tasty street food, and live music.

What We Do

  • Café & Courtyard: Relax with locally roasted coffee, epic breakfasts, and cold beer in a warm, friendly atmosphere.
  • Motorbike Gear: Browse our 3 rooms of curated CE-rated motorcycle jackets, trousers, gloves, and helmets for men and women.
  • Community First: From bike nights to line dancing and chats over drinks — we're a welcoming space for connection, whether you ride or not.

Our Awards & Accolades

  • 2025 Muddy Stilettos Award Winner: Best Bar in Cornwall
  • Best Bar None Accredited: Recognised for exceptional hospitality standards
  • Highly Commended: Newquay in Bloom – Pub Garden Category

COFFEE, BEER, STREET FOOD, LIVE MUSIC

Voted Cornwall's Best Bar

Project Eighty Three is an award-winning independent bar, café, street-food destination and live music venue in the heart of Newquay, Cornwall. Set inside a converted former motorcycle garage, we serve epic breakfasts, locally roasted coffee, cold beer and cocktails, alongside independent street-food traders in our sun-trap courtyard. If you’re searching for the best breakfast in Newquay, street food, live music, a dog-friendly bar or somewhere relaxed to eat and drink after the beach, you’ve found it.

No polished chain-bar atmosphere, just proper character, great people and something worth sticking around for.

The Swamp Stomp String Band

The Red Neck Riot comes to Project Eighty Three. The Swamp Stomp String Band are not just another hillbilly-wannabe country band.

Sure, there are twangy banjos, driving guitars, a honky-tonk piano, and a thudding double bass but these propel everything from drinking songs that will have the room stomping their feet and raising their flagons of cider, to ballads that will break even the toughest of folk.

Taking a mixture of Country, Bluegrass, Ragtime and anything Americana, The Swamp Stomp String Band are certainly an act to keep one eye on and both ears on. Their boisterous and bawdy, rough and rowdy, theatrically extravagant performances are to be enjoyed by folk young and old, rich and poor; or by those who just love to stamp their feet and have a hoe-down!
